Curled up under the covers, Rosalie Young gently caressed her belly. After a while, she breathed a sigh of relief.Thankfully, the baby was okay.When he came home last night, Theodore Spencer had wanted to be intimate. As the couple hadn't seen each other for two months, Rosalie couldn't bear to refuse him.Theodore had already woken up and washed up. He was wearing a gray custom suit that perfectly fit his tall and slender body, giving him an elegant and charming air. Currently, he was sitting in a chair with a tablet in hand. His fingers slid gracefully across the screen, exuding a hint of laziness and sensuality.Rosalie was wrapped tightly in the blanket with only her head exposed.When Theodore noticed her staring at him, he calmly asked, "Are you awake? Let's have breakfast.""Okay."Rosalie put on her pajamas, blushing as she crawled out of bed.In the dining room, Rosalie kept pushing her food around her plate as she caressed her belly with one hand. After a while, she
Rosalie lowered her head, smiling bitterly.What else could she ask for? She was sure she had exhausted all the luck in her life to get a chance to marry the man before her.Her parents were ordinary employees at SK Enterprise. They had been trapped in the control room during a fire, but had managed to shut down the critical systems before they died. Their actions prevented the release of toxic substances and avoided more casualties.The media had reported on the incident for several days straight, sharing recordings of her parents' last conversation with the outside world.Orphaned at the age of ten, Rosalie was taken in by her aunt, who was the only option available. However, the woman smoked, drank, and gambled. A year later, Rosalie’s aunt squandered all the money SK Enterprise had given the young girl to compensate for the loss of her parents.When Rosalie was eleven years old, her aunt dumped her at the doorstep of SK Enterprise.Clutching her backpack tightly to her chest,
"I didn't mean it that way," Rosalie snapped, feeling a bit angry.If she had meant it like that, she wouldn’t have let him touch her last night, especially since she was pregnant.Without saying anything else, Theodore carried her back to the bedroom and placed her gently on the bed. His movements were tender and caring, causing Rosalie to desperately hold back her tears.As he straightened her clothes, his large hands inadvertently brushed against her belly. Rosalie's heart skipped a beat. She quickly grabbed his hand and pushed it away. Her lower abdomen was still very flat, but instinctively, she felt guilty and was worried about being discovered.Theodore paused at her actions. "What's wrong?"Was she not letting him touch her now because they were about to get a divorce?"It's nothing. I just didn't sleep well and am feeling a bit dizzy," Rosalie explained, giving an excuse."Shall I call a doctor? You don't look too good."Theodore reached out and touched her forehead. S
"Yes, I still see you as a brother, just like you see me as a sister."Rosalie's throat grew increasingly tight, to the point where she could hardly produce another sound. If she could, she would have lifted the covers and rushed into his arms.She would tearfully tell him, "I've never seen you as a brother. I love you!"Instead, she restrained herself from doing something so pathetic. His heart belonged to another woman. Since that was the case, why should she lower herself and beg him like that?"That's good. Now, you can find a man you truly love,” Theodore said calmly with a faint smile.Rosalie's heart ached painfully again, but she forced a smile. "Yeah... That's great."Theodore could openly be with his first love now."Rose," he suddenly called out."Yeah?" Rosalie managed to reply in a strained tone."I..." Theodore suddenly stopped.Rosalie remained silent as she waited for him to continue."I'm leaving first. Get some rest, okay?"With that, Theodore turned and l
Yuvan straightened up and said, "There are typos in the documents. I need to take them back for corrections, sorry."Rosalie fell silent. Typos?For a moment, she had thought things would turn around for her. Hah... she was still clinging to ridiculous fantasies.After Yuvan left, Rosalie returned to her room. She didn't know how she had endured this day. She had eaten lunch and dinner properly. She hadn't experienced severe morning sickness yet, but perhaps due to excessive sadness or overeating, she vomited particularly violently that night.She cried while vomiting. In the end, she curled up on the floor as she trembled violently.It was almost midnight. In the past, if Theodore had something to do and couldn't return home by ten o'clock, he would always call her to let her know where he was. It looked like he wouldn't be doing it anymore.Suddenly, a ringtone echoed through the room.As the ringtone echoed louder and clearer, Rosalie’s ears perked up. She scrambled up from t
Rosalie's mind suddenly went blank."You're what?" Theodore asked.Rosalie closed her eyes in despair. Earlier today, he had accused her of being impatient to sever ties with him, insisting they were not divorced yet. But clearly, he was the one who was eager to be with Cynthia!"I'm tired. I'm going to sleep."The cruel reality shattered Rosalie's courage. She could never match up to Cynthia. She wasn't even worthy of being the other woman’s opponent because, to Theodore, Cynthia was the only one for him.To think Rosalie still wanted to salvage this marriage. It was truly laughable!"Alright. Get some sleep." Theodore's voice remained indifferent, devoid of any discernible emotion.After ending the call, Rosalie collapsed on the bed and wept bitterly."Theo, I’m two months pregnant," she muttered.-The next day, Rosalie woke up feeling groggy. Checking the time, she noted it was already noon. Her body felt sore as she got out of bed. Just as she finished washing up, the ph
In the evening, Rosalie went to a restaurant alone and ordered a meal, forcing herself to eat something for the sake of her unborn child. Her plan was to return to her room after dinner and concoct a story to tell Rebecca the next day, to reassure the old woman that she and Theodore had spent a wonderful night together.Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure not far away, walking out of the restaurant.Cynthia?Accompanying her were a man and a woman. The three of them chatted, shook hands, and walked out together.But where was Theodore?"Miss, sorry to disturb you. Are you alone?" a waiter asked.Rosalie snapped out of her thoughts. "Yeah. Do you need something?""There's a gentleman who wants to dine here, but there's a queue of waiting guests and limited seating. So, may I ask if you would be willing to share your table with him? If not, it's okay."Rosalie turned her head and saw a well-dressed man not far away. He looked quite handsome and elegant."It's fine," Rosalie repl
Rosalie frowned, seeming a bit impatient. "Do you need something else?"She was clearly innocent and heartbroken because of her husband. However, her husband's friend was treating her as if she were the one having an affair."Sharing a table? A handsome man and a beautiful woman, one dressed to the nines and the other in a sharp suit, just happened to both come to this restaurant alone. Then, there just happened to be no seats, so you shared a table. Do you think I'm stupid?"Sebastian stepped forward to explain, "I really don't know this lady. You're misunderstanding the situation.""I wasn't talking to you. Shut up!" Caleb said bluntly.Sebastian remained calm, his expression unusually cool."You're very rude," Rosalie said with a deep frown. "Believe it or not, the facts remain the same.""That's easy to say! Rosalie, do you even know that Theo's... " Caleb paused and glanced at the man next to him. "Do you have something else to say?"Sebastian smiled and politely excused h
