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
Before, Sebastian really did frame Theodore.If Sebastian hadn't confessed his mistake, Rosalie might have misunderstood Theodore until now.Now that she thought about what happened, she found it rather scary. If Sebastian could do it once, what was stopping him from doing it again?But with no surveillance cameras around this time, she didn't know the truth about what happened.She didn't want to see Theodore in such a terrible light, but all the more she didn't want to think so badly of Sebastian.One of the two of them was bound to be in the wrong.Who exactly was it? Rosalie wanted to get to the bottom of it.She selfishly wished Sebastian was at fault because she didn't want to be disappointed by Theodore yet again. "Rose, I admit I did say something to him, but that's because he humiliated you and I was so angry about it. I didn't expect him to pounce at me and punch me. Of course I had to hit him back! Trust me, what I said is true," Sebastian said. "You said someth
He admitted he took things too far when he said those words, but he had done that out of anger and didn't mean them.However, people often quote things out of context without any care for the complete truth."Sebastian Carter, why did you just record this part? You should play our entire conversation and let them hear what you said!" Theodore roared.He stormed forward, trying to snatch Sebastian's phone away.Sebastian was still carrying the baby. He quickly retreated upon seeing Theodore charge toward him.Theodore's sudden move alarmed everyone around them. Someone even stepped forward to stop Theodore."Sebastian Carter, you lowlife! How dare you take my words out of context!" Theodore yelled angrily. "Me? Take your words out of context?" Sebastian refuted. "This was exactly what you said! How did I take it out of context? Just look at how angry you are right now. Do you have a guilty conscience because you're exposed?""Sebastian Carter, just you wait! I'll never let you
Due to the fight, Theodore and Sebastian were taken to a nearby police station.The two of them were separately interrogated and investigated. After a few hours, the police finally decided to release them.Because neither tried to evade responsibility and didn't cause any grievous harm or damage, the police handled the issue with great discretion.They issued Theodore and Sebastian a warning, demanding they adhere to the country's laws and ensure they wouldn't cause another argument. Then, the two had to sign their names.After everything was over, the police called for their family to take them home.As the situation wasn't so severe as to require bail, Rosalie and Aurora could take the two of them away after they gave their signatures.Night had fallen. The gate of the police station was a stately yet mysterious divider, separating chaos and hustle and bustle from the world.The street lamp shone weakly and solitarily, looking like a lone star in the night sky.The four of
