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
"Sebastian, how long do you think you can continue to pretend in front of her? Sooner or later, you'll reveal your true colors. Do you think that when the time comes…""What true colors?" Sebastian interrupted him. "Mr. Spencer, you're too naive. Rose and I are already husband and wife. Even if I'm not a good person, what does it matter to her? As long as I treat her well, that's enough. Unlike you, I can betray the whole world, but I will never betray her. You did the exact opposite. What right do you have to lecture me?"Sebastian's words hit Theodore like a blow to the head. He didn't know how to counter Sebastian.Perhaps in Rosalie's heart, it didn't matter what kind of person Sebastian was. Maybe she knew exactly what kind of person Sebastian was, but just didn't care.Seeing Theodore's silence, Sebastian knew he had the upper hand. He stepped forward and said, "Even if you tell Rose the truth about that incident, it won't matter. She won't believe you. Even if she did, I h
Theodore finally understood why Rosalie chose Sebastian. She was carrying Sebastian's child; how could she allow the father of her child to come to harm?They had long fallen for each other, but he was still caught up in his own feelings, loving her to the point of risking his life.Rosalie had long given her heart to another man. From the very beginning, she had given her all to someone else.Theodore used nearly all his strength to force a calm smile. "That's right, I didn't die. Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm very much alive. How about we make a bet? I'm sure I won't die before you."Sebastian smirked. "Theodore, I won't take that bet because I'll live well. I want to grow old with Rose, watch our child grow up, and then hold our grandchild.""That's exactly what I wanted to say to you." Theodore stepped forward, the two of them standing very close together. The air was thick with tension."Sebastian, you can have Rosalie. I don't want her anyway since I already have another
Rosalie desperately suppressed the pain she was feeling. "So, that's how you two met?""Mm-hmm." Aurora nodded. "After that, I often met him, and we ended up together over time."Thinking of the incident where Theodore was injured, Rosalie felt as if her heart had been torn in two.Another woman had saved Theodore at a critical moment, so it wasn't strange they were together.She didn't expect that Aurora would be his lifesaver.Rosalie should be grateful to Aurora for saving his life. Otherwise, Theodore might have died back then.She remembered seeing a pool of blood on the ground but not Theodore. She had panicked, not knowing he had been rescued."How close are you and Theodore now?" Rosalie had told herself not to ask that question, but she couldn't help herself.Thinking of how Rosalie had caused Theodore pain and despair, Aurora didn't want to strip him of his dignity. She sat straight, looking very confident, and said, "We're in a romantic relationship. How close do y
She and Sebastian had never slept with each other.He was a gentleman, and never forced himself on her. He had always treated her with great respect. Rosalie felt guilty toward Sebastian partly because of this. "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Things between you two are over, and it's not like you two will ever be intimate again."Aurora couldn't stop herself from saying what she said to one-up Rosalie, as if trying to tell her that Theodore would be hers from now on.Rosalie patted her baby in her arms, silent.Aurora said, "Ms. Young, I just hope you won't hurt him again."Rosalie furrowed her brows. "I'm not trying to hurt him. He's the one who came running to Melrine."He came here for a holiday with his girlfriend and stopped by this restaurant by coincidence, but how could that be possible?Even if he were here for a holiday, Melrine was a huge country. Why did it have to be here of all places?Rosalie believed there were many coincidences in this world, b
"I really love him. He's my all. I'm willing to do anything for him. I'll even kneel before you and beg you!"Rosalie had a lot to say, but at this moment, she knew everything she said was bound to be meaningless.What was the point?Her relationship with Theodore ended on such a sour note. If this woman could really bring him happiness, it was a good thing.Although it hurt, and that this woman clearly hated her to the point of angering her, it was enough as long as Theodore was happy.Whatever it was, Theodore was still the father of her child even though he didn't want the baby."In that case, Ms. Payne, spend your days with him well. Don't talk to me about this again.""Do you mean to say that you've let Theo go?" Aurora asked.Rosalie felt her head pounding. "You make it sound as though I'm harassing him or threatening his life. Do you really know what happened between us? We…"Before Rosalie could finish her sentence, someone shouted from afar, "Oh no! People are fightin
"Theo!" Aurora dashed toward Theodore and cupped his cheeks. "How are you feeling? Does it hurt?"Aurora inwardly heaved a sigh of relief. When Rosalie called Theodore just now, Aurora was so frightened and worried that they might reconcile on the spot.She would never allow something like that to happen. Thankfully, Rosalie was just worried about her own husband.Theodore remained silent as Aurora hugged him. He stared blankly ahead, as if his soul had been sucked out of his body.Rosalie saw how tightly Aurora was hugging Theodore, and knew with even more certainty that this woman truly loved him.She approached Sebastian. "Seb, are you alright?"Sebastian and Theodore were both bruised, but Sebastian looked more seriously injured.Sebastian had just completed his treatment and couldn't afford to be agitated. Rosalie was worried his brain might worsen with the fight he just had."I'm fine." He turned around, and said to the person holding him back, "Let me go."However, the
What made things worse was that when Rosalie heard what he said, she actually felt a small morsel of joy knowing that Theodore came looking for her. Did that mean he still loved her? Did he get Aurora to come put on an act for her?But it was all too late. That joy was overwhelmed by harsh reality. It was impossible for her and Theodore. The only thing she could do was to attack him with cruel words and dash his hopes."Theodore Spencer, don't hurt Seb. You don't feel good about what happened, is that it? Yes, I chose Seb before. You can hate me or do whatever you want to me, but can you please don't hurt him? This has nothing to do with him! Seb himself was a victim. It was harrowing for him too. Blame me if you must, hit me instead if it makes you feel better, but can you please don't lay a finger on him?"Theodore clenched his fists, his heart breaking into a million pieces. Rosalie was always defending Sebastian, sometimes to an unreasonable degree.Theodore saw the smirk on
Theodore wrapped all of them up in his long arms.Under the golden sunshine, the family of four was wrapped up in each other's embraces. Sunlight shone on them, encasing them in a warm, golden glow. Everything felt calm and peaceful. The children snuggled in their parents' arms, innocent smiles lighting up their faces. They could feel the warmth of the sunshine as they found the safest and warmest haven in the entire world in their arms.In the evening sun and gentle breeze, they finally found happiness in each other's embrace.-In the deep of the night, Rosalie had a dream.Both Justin and Grandma came to her in her dream.Grandma and Justin were playing cards, surrounded by beautiful birds and flowers. They seemed to be in heaven, having the time of their lives with a look of tender love in their eyes.Grandma was very happy that she had reconciled with Theodore.Justin told Rosalie, "Rose, I'm so happy to see you happy.""Justin, do you hate me?""Silly girl, why would
Theodore made Rosalie feel like love was possible once more, and gradually opened her up.Love was ever-changing with time and the experiences they went through.Rosalie missed Justin dearly, but she also learned to treasure the people around her and every present moment of happiness. She learned how to accept the past and treasure the present amidst all her relationships.Justin would be her one and only in her heart, but Theodore also found his place in her heart amidst the unique position Justin was in.This was how their affections and love for each other grew and changed with time.Justin was dead, and Rosalie couldn't keep living in the past. She would carefully preserve her love for Justin in a corner of her heart.She would spend the rest of her life loving Theodore and their children."Chelsea," Rosalie said as she pulled Chelsea over. "Your daddy loves you very much, but he didn't get to see you come into this world. But you must remember his name. He is Justin Lynch."
Theodore and Rosalie brought both children to Justin's tomb.Before they left, Rosalie said that she and Chelsea wanted to spend some time alone with Justin.Theodore brought Jake to the car to wait for them.Golden sunlight shone on the land, feeling warm and toasty and giving the earth a beautiful glow.Rosalie caressed the tombstone. "Justin, I'm sorry for not coming to visit for such a long time."The last time she came back was a few months ago, during which she snuck a peak at his tombstone.Rosalie pulled out a bone fragment. "That's because you're always by my side, which is why I think that I can bring you everywhere I go. You're not just here at this tombstone."Justin, Theo and I have reconciled. He did so much for me, even sacrificing his own life for me. I can't just stand idly by and do nothing about it. I can't bring myself to reject him ruthlessly again and again."You can say that I'm moved, or that I fell in love with him once more. He's just too good, and I c
Jake had so much fun today and was exhausted by the time he reached home. After his shower, he crawled into bed and fell right asleep without any coaxing whatsoever. Jake would sometimes sleep in the bedroom with Chelsea, and sometimes they slept separately.At night, when Rosalie went to Chelsea's room to tuck her in and tell her a bedtime story, she asked, "Chelsea, how was your day with Theodore?""Hmm, it was alright," Chelsea said. "But Mr. Spencer was so silly, he burnt the food. I only got to eat lunch very late.""Is that so?" Rosalie burst out laughing. "How silly of him indeed.""But Mr. Spencer is quite nice," Chelsea said. "I like him. He said that I can call him Daddy."Rosalie's eyes lit up. "Do you want to call him that?""I do," Chelsea said with a nod, "but I'll do that tomorrow."Chelsea yawned. She felt tired, too.Rosalie caressed her cheek. "Goodnight, my darling. Go to sleep."-Rosalie returned to her room, took a shower, and laid on the bed. Theodo
Their parent-child bonding efforts officially began the next day.Rosalie brought Jake to the theme park. In the beginning, Jake felt rather stiff and reserved. It was his first time alone with his mom, after all.As time went by, Rosalie's earnestness, concern, and gentle patience with him slowly opened him up.They sat on the carousel, drove the bumper cars, rode on the Viking ship, zoomed down slides, bounced on the trampolines, and sailed on mini-boats. They had a whale of a time.Jake was covered with sweat, but he was so happy, he didn't want the day to end.He had grown closer to his mom, so much so that he would jump into her arms, hugging her and asking for kisses.Rosalie did not hold back from expressing her love for him and even carried him on her back as they continued exploring the park.Jake was very obedient and came down very soon, for fear that Rosalie might get tired. They moved on to the next attraction hand-in-hand.Rosalie found out one thing from Jake, wh
Some time later, Rosalie realized that Jake was being rather sullen.Each time she asked him whether something was wrong, he would brush her away, claiming that he was fine before running off.It was a Saturday, and Rosalie didn't need to go to work. She was seated on the couch with a book when Chelsea ran over, her braids swaying behind her. "Mommy, can you give me a hug?"How could Rosalie say no to her adorable little daughter? She shut the book and said, "But of course. Come on over."Rosalie opened her arms, very willing to show Chelsea affection.Chelsea crawled up onto the couch happily, sitting on Rosalie's lap and diving into her embrace.Jake happened to see it all.Rosalie noticed Jake standing a short distance away and was about to say something to him when he ran off.The smile on Rosalie's face faded as a look of worry took over.At night, Rosalie put Chelsea under Theodore's care and went to Jake, wanting to speak to him alone."Jake, what's with you recently
A gentle breeze lifted the curtains slightly in the deep of the night.Rosalie laid in Theodore's embrace, panting slightly. Her cheek leaned against his chest, feeling his heart pounding heavily, and her cheeks flushed.She never expected this day to come between her and Theodore, yet everything happened in a flash. He went to bed with her just like that, bewitched and completely infatuated with her.Although they were once husband and wife and had been intimate countless times, this felt different from the last. Things felt more intense this time around."Rose, are you happy?"Although Theodore's liver had been doing well over the last three months of recuperation, he was still worried that his fitness level might be affected before his liver was fully recovered.Rosalie gave him a slight smile. "Of course, I am. You almost crushed me."Her face flushed the moment she spoke those words. She hugged Theodore tight, feeling safe and secure.She could sense that he was telling th
"Theo, have you had a woman over the past five years?" Rosalie asked very frankly.They weren't naive young men and women but mature adults with experience in this matter.Theodore was a red-blooded young man who had his needs. Suppressing his desires, which were absolutely normal, would only jeopardize his health.Theodore was getting angry. "Am I someone like that to you, going to bed with a woman I don't love just to satisfy my physical needs?""Aren't men all like that?" Rosalie said. She didn't mean it in a scornful way but simply highlighted it as a typical observation.Lonely men and women in the city were bound to seek companionship in some places and part ways after the night.Someone as powerful and influential as Theodore wouldn't even need to go searching for someone else. Women flocked toward him like bees to honey."Why can't I be an exception?" He was in no state whatsoever to find another woman over the past five years and would always deal with his sexual desire
Time flew by, and three months later, Rosalie was fully recovered and back at work.Her colleagues welcomed her back with a bash.Everything seemed to have returned to normal.To keep Jake company, Rosalie would go back to Theodore's house every day after work. She was practically living there.Rosalie and Jake's relationship had improved over time, and they were looking more and more like they were truly mother and son.Everything was going well.At night, the four of them sat around the dining table and chatted happily with each other.After dinner, Rosalie and Theodore sat in the living room chatting. She suddenly noticed a book on the table. It looked so familiar that it caught her eye.It was the book she had written. Over the past five years, not only was she busy learning and working, but she also managed to write the book she had conceptualized and even gotten it published. However, this book was only available in Briusian and not exported to Blencalgo.Rosalie's book
