Sebastian still cared very much for her. How could he bear to add to her pain when she was already in such sorrow?She had just given birth two months ago, and her health wasn't in great condition. He specifically asked the doctor about it and was told they could only be intimate at least three months later.He could wait. He didn't want to hurt her physically.Eventually, he just held Rosalie in his arms and hugged her.Rosalie cried for a long time in his arms until she was exhausted and fell asleep. After a while, when Sebastian saw she was deep in sleep, he released her and got out of bed to prepare a hot towel in the washroom. He then returned to her and gently wiped her face with the towel.He did it so softly and gently, afraid that he might wake her up.His heart ached as he looked at her face, which was all red and swollen from crying. Her brows were still furrowed tight despite being asleep, as if she were in a nightmare. Even her breathing was ragged. 'Theodore Spe
"I'm also doing this for the good of all three of you. You and Rose are already married. You two should lead your married life in peace. It's impossible between Theo and Rose. Even if they reconcile by force, they'll only be miserable. A love triangle will always spell doom for all three parties," Sydney explained. "You want your son to give up on Rose completely so he won't be in pain anymore?" Sebastian asked. "Yes, you can think of it that way," Sydney said. "What happens tomorrow will determine whether this love triangle can be over for good."Sydney also told Sebastian what he should do the next day, and how to deal with Theodore.Sebastian hung up, distraught.He was initially doubtful until he saw Theodore in the flesh today, with a woman in tow.The heavens were on his side. They had allowed him to know about it beforehand. He would deliberately let Theodore overhear him, making the latter assume the baby was his and Rosalie's.With Theodore's hopes dashed, Theodore wo
Theodore gently stroked her long hair.A familiar scene flashed past his mind.Rosalie spent many mornings lying coyly in his arms just like this. He gently caressed her cheeks and long hair, and kissed her all over.Aurora lay in his arms like a lazy kitten enjoying the caress of its owner.She smiled; her delicate hands couldn't help but rub against his hard chest. She looked up and asked, "Theo, are you alright?"Theodore shook his head very honestly. He didn't lie and say that he was fine just to reassure her.Aurora gently caressed the wounds on his body, her heart breaking. "Do your wounds still hurt?"Theodore shook his head. "They don't. Don't worry.""Theodore, let's go back."She didn't want Theodore to stay here and continue wallowing in sorrow. They would return and stay as far away from this place as possible."Don't you want to travel around this country? We've only just arrived," Theodore said."It's alright. We can go traveling elsewhere."She instinctively
Aurora still felt sad thinking about it. Was she not attractive enough, or did he love that woman too deeply? Perhaps it was a bit of both.Had she been more beautiful, Theodore might not have been able to hold himself back. Although she was very disappointed, the intimacy of last night far exceeded her expectations.She would definitely try harder from here on. Sooner or later, she would extricate Rosalie from Theodore's heart.Aurora was becoming increasingly resentful. She wanted to lay claim to Theodore and make him her own.After Theodore was done preparing breakfast, he called Aurora.She wrapped herself up with the sheets when she got out of bed, feeling rather shy.Although Theodore had seen her completely naked last night and this morning, she was still a lady. She had to act demure before the man she fancied, whether it was genuine or not."Put on some clothes first. I'll wait for you outside."With that, Theodore walked out and headed to the dining room.-Auro
Sebastian never thought Rosalie would have suspicions about this."Rose, I hadn't planned to record anything at first. It's just that what he said became more and more outrageous, so I secretly pressed the recording button on my phone in my pocket and happened to record that sentence. He actually said much worse things that I didn't record."Sebastian held her shoulders, his face sincere. "You have to believe me, I didn't mean to frame him. If I wanted to harm him, I would have recorded our entire conversation in advance. Rose, please trust me. I swear I'm not lying to you."Rosalie gently pushed him away, her voice hoarse. "Alright, I believe you."Even if she didn't believe Sebastian, what could she do? Even if Sebastian had truly taken Theodore's words out of context, Theodore had said that.Forget about it. She was too tired.Though Rosalie was physically and mentally exhausted, she still insisted on attending her classes. She didn't want to give up on this opportunity. Aft
Rosalie was driving on the road.She had no destination in mind. There was a surge of frustration in her heart, but she had no outlet for it. She felt an overwhelming urge to scream.A pain spread through her chest, and Rosalie sensed something was wrong. She immediately pulled the car over to the side of the road, clutching her chest and gasping for breath."Theo, you bastard! Why don't you even want your own child? Even if I chose Sebastian last time and hurt you, the child is innocent. Why don't you want your child?"Rosalie gripped the steering wheel tightly, muttering to herself inside the car like someone on the verge of madness. She rested her head against the wheel, and her whole body trembled.Suddenly, she lifted her head. She had to find Theodore. She had to ask him face to face, but…but she didn't know where he was.If she called him now, he might not even answer.After thinking for a moment, Rosalie started the car again.She would try her luck at one place.-Ha
He didn't open the door but asked through it, "How did you know I was here?""I guessed. I didn't expect you to be here either. Theo, are you and Aurora really dating?" Rosalie demanded. Theodore turned to glance at Aurora and said indifferently, "Of course. Didn't I tell you already? Do you think I'd lie about that?"Rosalie clenched her fists. "Theo, how can you be so cruel? I told you everything, but you ignored me and went off with another woman! Are you doing this to get back at me?"Theodore narrowed his eyes, his voice cold. "Cruel? Get back at you?"He shoved his hands into his pockets, his fists clenched tightly within. "And you being with Sebastian isn't cruel? Rosalie, we're done. If there's any revenge, it's you who sought it. When that arrow pierced through my heart, it also pierced all my hopes for you."Rosalie's heart ached. "No, Theo... Sebastian and I…"Just then, Aurora walked over and looped her arm through Theodore's. "Miss Young, is it appropriate for yo
Upon being interrupted, Rosalie looked at Aurora. Finally, her eyes landed on Aurora's belly.Was Aurora really pregnant? If so, then what was the point of telling Theodore the truth now? Her own child would then become illegitimate."Theodore, I have to ask you," Rosalie said solemnly. "Is Aurora really pregnant with your child? I'll only give you one chance. Tell me the truth."If it was a lie, she would tell him about Steve, but if it was true, then there was no need.Theodore tightened his hold around Aurora's waist and said word by word, "She's pregnant with my child, and I'll marry her."Rosalie was devastated. She slowly stepped back, laughing through her tears."You're really something, Theodore. Well done. I must have been blind!"She didn't even want to imagine Theodore and Aurora sleeping together.He always said one thing and did another. First there was Cynthia, and now there was Aurora. It was fortunate she hadn't reconciled with Theodore. Even if she had, who c
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
