The waiter brought their lunch to the table. Rosalie was holding the baby, so it was difficult for her to eat.Seeing this, Sebastian said, "Rose, let me hold him. You can eat first.""It's fine, I can still hold him. He's a really good boy," Rosalie replied with a smile.However, just as she finished speaking, Steve suddenly started wailing. It was so unexpected that Rosalie panicked, unsure of what was wrong."Baby, what's wrong? Did I hurt you? Do you feel uncomfortable? How about if I hold you like this?" she murmured.No matter how she tried to soothe him, he kept crying. Seeing the situation, Sebastian immediately put down his knife and fork and walked over to her. "Rose, let me hold him," he said gently."It's alright, I can calm him down," Rosalie insisted, gently stroking Steve's face. "Please don't cry, baby. Please, I'm begging you."Her voice was tinged with hoarseness, and she was on the verge of tears herself."I'll calm him down, don't worry. He'll stop crying
"I don't see it that way," Sebastian said softly. "You're my wife, and I'm his father. It's my responsibility to take care of both of you."Though unable to understand what Sebastian and Rosalie were saying, the surrounding diners could tell from Sebastian's gentle gestures and tender expression that he was comforting his wife. It was evident to everyone how loving and responsible this man was. They all looked at Rosalie with envy in their eyes.Sebastian gently rocked Steve in his arms. "Sweetie, your mommy loves you very much. She risked her life and went through so much to bring you into this world, so Daddy wants her to get plenty of rest. So, little one, please don't cry so hard next time you're in Mommy's arms, okay? It makes Mommy sad."Rosalie stared at Sebastian, her eyes wide with awe, as though she saw a halo of fatherly love radiating from him.Sebastian had stayed by her side through her most difficult times. He had cared for and protected her when she needed it most
It was Aurora's first time seeing Rosalie. So, this was what she looked like.Although Aurora didn't feel like she was looking into a mirror, she had to admit they had some similarities.However, Aurora felt that Rosalie was even more beautiful. The handsome man next to her had looked at her with warmth and love in his eyes.Aurora didn't know what Rosalie was like, but seeing how much the man she called "my husband" cared for her and loved her, she could tell that Rosalie was a fortunate woman.Her ex-husband still missed her, while her current husband doted on her. Aurora truly envied Rosalie.What surprised her was that both of them already had children. Theodore hadn't mentioned this to her, nor had anyone else. Did they not know?Aurora glanced at Theodore, only to see him still in a daze. His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.She tugged at Theodore's sleeve. "Mr. Spencer, let's leave." She had sensed his shock and was worried that he might break down, so she wan
Worried Sebastian might break down, Rosalie quickly hugged him and gently patted his back. "Seb, calm down. I won't go anywhere. I'll stay by your side. I promised you that."She had never gone back on her promises, and she wouldn't start now.Sebastian gradually relaxed, and his breathing became less hurried. He held Rosalie tightly in his arms. "The three of us will never be apart, right?"Rosalie was forced to nod. "Right. We won't."The doctor had advised her that Sebastian had just undergone treatment and must not be agitated. He had just undergone therapy and required ample rest to recover, and needed to stay calm for the next 48 hours. Why did Theodore have to come over at this time? Did he know about Sebastian's situation and had deliberately come to provoke him?Theodore stepped closer to Rosalie, standing right in front of her. The atmosphere was exceptionally tense. Rosalie looked up at him, her eyes brimming with tears.A wave of intense pain surged in her chest. Sh
What was the relationship between her and Theodore? Why were they so intimate?Theodore's arm was around Aurora's waist as he said, "I didn't expect to run into my ex-wife along with her husband and child here."Hearing Theodore's words, Rosalie felt a terrible heartache. What did he mean by "her child"?She was both sad and angry. Theodore didn't even want his own child, and was trying to give him to Sebastian.Holding Steve tightly, Sebastian said, "Yes, it's quite a coincidence that we ran into you. I'm curious about Miss Payne's relationship with you.""She's my girlfriend." Theodore smiled elegantly and composedly, showing no trace of the shock he had felt earlier.Aurora's heart trembled. Although she knew Theodore was lying and putting on an act, hearing him speak this way still made her heart stir. She felt that she was growing closer to him, which delighted her.The term "girlfriend" struck Rosalie like sharp arrows piercing her heart. Did Theodore actually have a girlf
She deliberately said "two months" sarcastically. After all, when he was away on a business trip for two months, he was in truth with Cynthia—something Rosalie had only learned later.Whenever she got angry at Theodore, she couldn't help but think of how he had hurt her. Each instance remained vivid in her mind."I will," Theodore replied. "I plan to stay here for a month. Anyhow, we'll be together forever, never to part."Theodore knew Rosalie was mocking him, so he returned the favor. He had repaid what he owed Rosalie during that kidnapping incident. When Rosalie chose Sebastian over him, he had already died once. He had used his life to repay Rosalie, and she had avenged him for all the hurt he had foolishly inflicted on her.Aurora felt a surge of joy. She didn't know if Theodore meant what he said, but a month was enough time for her to enjoy herself. She had initially thought he would return right after seeing his ex-wife.Sebastian asked, "Mr. Spencer, have you made a rese
Rosalie and Theodore were facing each other, and they could see each other's faces with just a glance. Aurora had her back to her.Theodore also happened to look up and glance at Rosalie.Rosalie's heart trembled, and she quickly averted her gaze. She lowered her head to cut the food on her plate and stuffed it into her mouth.The food was delicious, but it tasted bitter.Why did he have to treat her that way? She couldn't believe Theodore got a new girlfriend. He said he loved her deeply, but he still went and got together with another woman.Rosalie knew she shouldn't be angry. After all, she had married Sebastian.Yet, she didn't marry Sebastian out of love, while Theodore and Aurora were definitely in love.She would never trust men ever again. Their love always seemed so cheap.Rosalie reminded herself not to blame Theodore because they were already divorced. It was normal for Theodore to be with another woman now; but she couldn't help but feel heartbroken, angry, and jeal
This piece was one Rpsalie and Theodore used to love listening to. Now, even this song was being given to another woman.'How nice. Theo, you're truly cruel. You dedicated a song to Cynthia, and now you're dedicating one to Aurora,' Rosalie thought. It seemed like she wasn't that special after all.They both wanted to move on, yet at this moment, they were fighting. Neither wanted to concede, and both wanted to make the other suffer. In the end, it was they who were hurting.It wasn't possible to part without hard feelings. The deeper the love, the more painful it was when things ended.From across the table, Sebastian could sense the turmoil churning within Rosalie. Even though she was trying her best to restrain herself and not show anything, Sebastian still felt uncomfortable.If she really didn't care about Theodore, she wouldn't be trying so hard to control her emotions. It was precisely because she cared that she had emotions.After the song ended, Rosalie's hands, which sh
