"I'm sorry, Mr. Jackson. Perhaps I wasn't thinking right. I just thought that…"

She didn't know what to say. She just felt as though she were in a fantasy.

"There's no need to apologize. I should be the one doing that instead," Christopher said with a sigh. "I thought there was something between us, but I might have made a mistake. I was a fool."

"No," Sydney exclaimed.

A glint flashed past the depths of Christopher's eyes, but a look of despondence overtook him. "No? Do you mean that we…"

Sydney spoke too soon, realizing that she might have fallen into his trap. He was a scheming man, after all.

"Mr. Jackson, I meant that it's very normal for people to overthink things. It has nothing to do with you being foolish."

Her instincts warned her against getting too close to this man.

"Mr. Jackson, I have something to attend to and need to go. See you."

Sydney then turned to leave.

"Is that goodbye?" Christopher asked, looking at her retreating figure. "Or do you really mean that w

    "Really? Quick, call her," Rebecca urged gladly.Sydney's brows furrowed as she said, "Theo, are you really going to call Rose right now? She's very busy."The solemn look on his mother's face made it seem as though the sky would fall on their heads if he really called Rosalie.Instead of saying something, Theodore let Rebecca go and pulled out his phone from his pocket. He left the scene, and walked toward the door of the villa.Sydney hurried out after him and saw him scrolling through his contacts.Sydney said, "Theo, are you really going to call Rose?"If he called her out of the blue, all her efforts would go down the drain.Things would go back to what they were in the past, with the two of them entangled with each other and in pain."Are you afraid of me calling Rose?" Theo said. "No, that's not what I meant," Sydney explained. "I just don't want to see you hurting.""It's none of your business. It's my own business whether I'm hurting or not. I'm an adult, not a chil

    The moment Aurora walked in, everyone's gaze landed on her.Shock registered on Sydney's face when she saw the familiar-looking face. Wesley looked as shocked as Sydney was.However, they both knew that Aurora merely looked like Rosalie, and wasn't really Rosalie.Rebecca was taking a nap on the couch.Theodore walked over, bent forward, and said, "Grandma, Rose is here."The mention of Rosalie's nickname made Rebecca immediately look up, only to see an achingly familiar face.Rebecca was stunned for a moment, then a look of doubt flashed past her eyes. She could sense that something was off.Everyone quieted down.Did Rebecca suddenly become alert? "Grandma, didn't you ask to see Rose? Look, Rose is here," Theodore spoke up again."Oh, Rose. You're all grown up," Rebecca said as she stretched a hand out. "Let me look at you."Aurora felt a little nervous as she glanced at Theodore. Theodore nodded back at her, and shot her a reassuring look.Aurora mustered up the courage

    Aurora stood up. "Mr. Spencer, your grandmother has gone to rest.""I'll make a move too," Theodore said as he approached her. "Thank you so much for today. Apologies if I held you back from your plans."Aurora said with a smile, "I didn't have much on today, anyway. I'm glad I was able to help you."Theodore said, "Let me send you back."Aurora didn't want to trouble him any further, but she also wanted to spend time alone with him, so she nodded. "Alright, thank you."The two of them were about to leave when a voice stopped them."Theo. Ms. Payne."Sydney approached them.Theodore stopped in his tracks, and turned around. Sydney stopped right in front of them and shot them a smile, her gaze landing on Aurora."Hello, Ms. Payne. It's my first time meeting you today."Aurora greeted politely, "Hello, Mrs. Harper. You're so beautiful and young."She meant her words, having been blown away by Sydney's beauty the moment she saw her. Sydney looked to be only slightly over 30 yea

    A black car drove steadily on the road.Theodore sat on the driver's seat, his hands firmly on the steering wheel as he kept his eyes on the road ahead.Aurora sat in the front passenger seat, her seat belt buckled in. Her hands gripped uneasily over the belt as her heart raced.She felt very nervous being in the same car as Theodore.It was perhaps nerves from liking the man that made her so tense. She was worried over even the slightest movement that might make her look awkward and embarrass herself before him.The silence in the air started feeling awkward. Aurora finally spoke up, breaking the silence."Your mother is really beautiful and your father is handsome, too. They look like a match made in heaven."Theodore said indifferently, "They just look like it."Aurora found Theodore's words strange.Did his parents not have a good relationship, too? Why did she get strange vibes from his entire family?She opened her mouth, wanting to ask further, but Theodore beat her to

    After Theodore got out of the car, he saw a young man lying on the ground. The man's bag had fallen to the ground, and he was clutching his leg and groaning in pain.Theodore immediately walked up and asked, "Are you alright? Can you stand?"The person on the ground turned to look at Theodore.When Theodore saw his face, he was shocked. He had seen this person before.This was Yerick, a friend of Rosalie's. He had met Yerick at the hospital when Sebastian was hurt. Rosalie had stayed at the hospital as well to take care of Sebastian.Why was Yerick here?Yerick, seeing Theodore, seemed to recognize him as well. "Oh, it's you?"Yerick was grimacing, appearing to be in great pain. "It hurts. My whole body hurts. It feels like my bones are broken."Theodore hadn't expected to run into Yerick here, let alone hit him with his car."Can you stand? I'll take you to the hospital," Theodore offered. Aurora, who was still sitting in the passenger seat, looked through the windshield an

    When Yerick heard the name "Rose", he frowned. "I'm a little curious. How did I bump into you here and end up getting hit? Do you even know how to drive?""You jaywalked, and you're blaming me for hitting you?" Theodore replied. "I have a dashcam. Want to check and see if you broke the law?""I was in a hurry," Yerick said, sounding aggrieved. "Besides, you're the one driving. Don't you know how to give way to pedestrians?"Theodore couldn't be bothered to argue with Yerick, and merely said, "I'll take you to the hospital and pay for your medical bills. The rest is on you."Yerick had darted across the street, and Theodore hadn't been able to stop in time. Even if there was any fault, it was shared equally. By getting him to the hospital and covering the costs, he had already done his part."You're so cold-hearted. No wonder Rose left you and married another man. You deserve it!"Theodore frowned, and tightened his grip on the steering wheel. "What did you say?"Yerick, despite

    Yerick's heart skipped a beat. "Fine, I'll stop. You don't have to be so fierce! Rose scared away by you. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone abroad."Suddenly, Theodore furrowed his brows and looked at him with suspicion. "You know she went abroad?"Yerick replied, "Of course, I know. I even know where she is. I keep in touch with her frequently."Theodore clenched his fists. They frequently kept in touch?A surge of frustration rose in his chest as Theodore turned to leave. However, his feet felt like they had turned to heavy stones, making it impossible to move.Seeing this, Yerick asked, "Weren't you about to leave? Why haven't you gone yet? Are you reluctant to leave me, or do you want to apologize?"Theodore turned around and asked, "Are you really that close to her?""Of course! My relationship with Rose is great. I see her as my sister, and she sees me as her brother. Even though we're far apart now, we're still in touch often.""What's the matter? Are you jealous?" Yeric

    "I love you, I really love you. Please don't leave me, I truly love you. Why did you have to leave?"With a loud bang, the door to the ward was suddenly kicked open. Theodore entered with a cold expression on his face.Yerick was singing, completely lost in the moment. He was wearing headphones, and his eyes were closed. He was fully immersed in the music, oblivious to anyone coming in."You've finally become someone else's woman, and I've finally lost you!" Yerick sang with deep emotion.Hearing these lyrics, Theodore frowned. Singing this song at such a time was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.Theodore grabbed Yerick's headphones, and yanked them off.Yerick was startled, and almost screamed. When he saw Theodore, he asked in surprise, "Y-You came back? Didn't you leave?""You said you frequently chat with Rose. What do you talk about?" Theodore didn't even know why he was feeling this surge of impulse, but the more he thought about it, the harder it was to let it go. So,

    "Thank you for not giving up on me, thank you for steadfastly staying by my side, and thank you for praying for me."He seemed very haggard, as though he had endured endless torment. Yet, he still exuded a captivating handsomeness.Though his eyes appeared dim from exhaustion, they radiated determination. His deep, dark pupils seemed like a mystery, hiding countless untold stories.Rosalie was surprised. "How did you know I prayed?""I guessed," he said with a gentle smile, the corner of his mouth curving into a soft, charming arc.Rosalie smiled back at him. It wasn't too hard to guess, actually."Anyway, I'm glad that you're awake now. I'm sorry Theodore and Sebastian hurt you. They didn't know and thought you were a bad person. They were just too worried about me. I apologize on their behalf. Don't worry, I'll take responsibility for you. I'll cover all the medical bills and any future compensation and care. You don't need to worry about anything.""Those two men seem very concerned

    "Theo, no matter what the test results are, you can't keep torturing your stomach," Aurora said, her voice filled with concern as she held his hand against her cheek. "Now that you have me, you have to think about me. You can't keep neglecting your health."Theodore nodded, murmuring, "Okay. Alright, I promise.""Theo, could you lie down and hold me for a while? I suddenly feel a bit anxious."Aurora's fragile and helpless demeanor made it hard for Theodore to refuse."Alright, lie down," he said. He pressed a button, and the head of the hospital bed slowly lowered.Aurora lay back on the bed and Theodore lay down beside her, pulling her into his arms. She cupped his face, closed her eyes, and kissed his lips.Theodore gripped the back of her head and responded passionately, exchanging warmth and affection.He kissed her fiercely and fervently, the world around him disappearing.-Justin finally pulled through and was out of danger. After waking up, he was transferred to a regular ward

    "That's right. I thought that way too at first," Aurora said coldly. "I hate you so much for what you did. I did want you to rot in prison here, but then I thought about it more carefully. If you go to prison, won't Rosalie become single again? At that point, Theo will have a thousand reasons to get back together with her, and he'll abandon me."So, after thinking it through, I decided that you shouldn't go to prison and should stay by Rosalie's side forever. That way, Theodore won't have the chance to reconcile with his ex-wife. I'm actually doing this for my benefit more than yours."On the other end of the line, Sebastian was silent for a long time.Aurora's words made a lot of sense, but Sebastian, who was naturally suspicious, still couldn't fully trust her."Why should I trust you? If you're lying to me and this was a trap set up for me, wouldn't that mean I'm falling right into your hands?" he argued. "You don't have to trust me," Aurora said, "but once Theo leaves the hospital

    Aurora needed a very thorough examination, so it would take some time. Theodore had been accompanying her, though he seemed distracted and his thoughts kept drifting back to Rosalie's sorrowful face."Theo, do you need to see a doctor for your face?" Aurora asked, concerned. "It's all swollen.""It's fine," Theodore replied, "I'll be fine in a couple of days. Don't worry. Right now, you're the most important."Hearing what Theodore said warmed Aurora's heart."By the way, Theo, didn't you promise me last night that you'd get checked today too? Why don't you go now? We can do the check-up together.""It's fine. I'll stay with you and wait for you to finish first.""Theo, you should go first. We'll both need to wait for the results anyway, so don't waste time." Aurora was very concerned about Theodore's health.She wanted him to be well. After all, he was going to be her future husband. If both of them were in poor health, how could they manage?To reassure Aurora, Theodore gently patted

    The significance of Theodore verbally acknowledging her meant more than if they had slept together a hundred times. It meant that he genuinely accepted her from the bottom of his heart. All her efforts had not been in vain.Although Theodore wasn't her first man, she had just lied to him—this wasn't her first time doing it with a man at all.In fact, she was quite experienced. Aurora was far from the pure image she presented. She used to seek thrills often, enjoying the feeling of making men lose control.When she was with Theodore, she had only pretended to be inexperienced.Now that she was in love with Theodore, she realized just how blind she had been in the past. What were those other men? They had no money, no looks, and no build. Theodore was different, and she was determined to hold on to him tightly.When it came to winning over men, Aurora considered herself to have some skills and techniques.-Sebastian walked to a secluded area. He opened his hand, revealing a piece of pap

    Theodore closed his eyes and held Aurora in his arms tightly. He cupped the back of her head and planted a kiss on her forehead."Aurora, you're always so considerate of me. I really don't know what to say.""Then don't say anything."Aurora lifted her head and kissed his chin. "Theo, as long as you want me, I'll always be your woman. As your woman, I'm willing to do anything for you. I just want you to be happy."Blushing, Aurora nestled herself back into his arms, hugging him once more. Her hand rested on his chest, then slowly moved up to stroke his face.In Aurora's eyes, she already considered herself Theodore's woman. They had progressed this far; if that didn't make her his woman, then what would?Theodore lifted Aurora in his arms, carried her into the ward, and carefully laid her down on the bed."Aurora, I understand what you said to Sebastian earlier was for my sake, but it was also a bit unnecessary.""Why was it unnecessary?" Aurora asked, puzzled."You forgot that Sebast

    In this world, perhaps only Aurora was willing to go along with his lies, cooperating in his deceptions and accommodating him.No matter how strange his requests were, she accepted them wholeheartedly without ever questioning him.Why was Aurora so good to him? She was so good that it pained him. Maybe one day, he would truly fall in love with her."Mr. Carter, I have a few words I'd like to say to you," Aurora said. She gently released Theodore's hand and walked over to stand in front of Sebastian.Theodore grabbed her hand. "Don't go over there.""Theo, I just want to say a few words to him. Don't worry. I trust Mr. Carter would never harm me here, especially since this is a hospital with so many security cameras. He couldn't do anything reckless."The mention of "security cameras" seemed to carry an implied meaning.At that time, Sebastian had barged into Theodore's house and damaged the security cameras.Sebastian understood the implication in Aurora's words and let out a cold laug

    "I got it, Theo. I won't do this again. I'm sorry. I didn't know I shouldn't say those things. I don't have much experience in this area, and I was worried you'd be disappointed in me."Theodore lifted his hand to gently stroke her hair. "Don't talk about these things again, and don't see Rosalie again either.""What about you? Will you still see her?" she asked.Theodore fell silent for a moment.Seeing his lack of response, Aurora knew his answer.Perhaps even Theodore wasn't certain whether he would see Rosalie again. Maybe he would run into her, maybe he would seek her out, or maybe Rosalie would shamelessly look for him—who knew?In any case, it was all Rosalie's fault. Theodore was surely blameless.Suddenly, Sebastian was standing outside the ward and called his name. "Theodore." When Theodore turned around and saw Sebastian, his brows furrowed.Aurora appeared a bit fearful. "Theo, why is he here?"Theodore squeezed her hand gently. "Aurora, don't worry. Just stay here and do

    Rosalie felt utterly miserable. She didn't want to say anything and released Sebastian's arm. She took a few steps back, overwhelmed by her emotions."Rose." Sebastian supported her, pitying her. "Let me take you back to rest. You shouldn't stay here. Let's go.""I'm not leaving. I need to stay here with him." Rosalie's gaze shifted toward Justin's direction.Though Theodore had caused her heartache, the most important matter now was Justin. Theodore no longer mattered; whatever he did with Aurora was his own business.She just wanted Justin to wake up.Rosalie anxiously stood by the glass doors of the ICU, her gaze filled with worry and helplessness. The ICU was filled with a sterile chill, with only the beeping of machines breaking the stillness inside.She looked at Justin lying motionless on the bed, his face pale and lifeless.Rosalie clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh, but she felt no pain. Her focus was entirely on the scene before her.Suddenly, Jus
