Cynthia felt uneasy. She wanted to sit next to Theodore, but since he made it clear where he wanted her to sit, she had no choice but to do as she was told. Her fingers intertwined nervously as she asked, “Theo, what’s going on?”Theodore said, “Explain to Rose what exactly happened at the resort the last time.”Cynthia looked at the two of them in disbelief, her gaze pausing at Theodore as shock registered in her eyes. “Theo, why did you bring this up out of the blue?”Did Theodore bring Rosalie here to make her explain to Rosalie about that? Did Theodore consider her feelings when doing this, and gave Rosalie a chance to humiliate her?Rosalie found it ridiculous, too. “Why are you making her explain things to me? I really don’t understand what’s going through your mind.”“It’s simple, really,” Theodore said. “You don’t want to hear me out, and even if you do, you won’t believe me. In that case, I’ll have Cindy explain things to you. Both of us will tell you clearly what exact

“Yes, you have,” Rosalie said, as she locked her phone screen and put it aside. She turned to look at him. “So what if nothing happened between you two? The facts remain: you switched your phone off, and brought her on a holiday. You asked me for a divorce, and clamored to marry her. You rush to her defense each time something happens. It doesn’t really make a difference whether you two had sex or not.”Whatever it was, she and Theodore could never return to the past. He was entangled with Cynthia, and it was pointless no matter how hard Rosalie tried.Theodore gripped the steering wheel so tightly, the veins on his hands tensed up and even popped.Rosalie was showing off in front of Cynthia not because she was glad that they weren’t getting a divorce, but simply because she was trying to provoke Cynthia.Theodore sat there unmoving and didn’t start the car, but Rosalie didn’t rush him either. She picked her phone up, and started scrolling again.She opened and closed a couple

“Where is that woman? Where’s the nurse named Stephanie Carter?!”The door was shoved open with a loud bam, and a middle-aged couple charged in.“Stephanie Carter! You’re Stephanie Carter, aren’t you?!”Upon seeing the woman on the bed, the couple rushed forward and forcefully yanked off the sheets.“What are you doing?!”Rosalie shoved the woman aside and stood in front of Stephanie’s bed, her face all tensed up.“Scram!” The middle-aged man shoved Rosalie roughly to the floor.“Argh!” Rosalie wrapped her arms protectively around her belly.“What are you doing?!” Stephanie leapt out of her bed, and held Rosalie up from the floor. “Are you okay?”“I’m fine,” Rosalie said, feeling no discomfort in her belly.Upon seeing the fierce couple approach them, Rosalie hurriedly pulled Stephanie behind her. “What do you two want?”“This nurse caused my son to be taken away by the police. I’ll teach you a good lesson!”The couple was hot-tempered, and completely unreasonable.“Don’t

A friend in need is a friend indeed. Stephanie personally witnessed Rosalie shielding her with her own body despite her pregnancy. Such a friend was a friend Stephanie was determined to keep her entire life. “Don’t be so polite with me. We’re friends! Of course we should help each other out. They’ve been taken away by the police and will pay the price for their actions. I’ll also speak to Theodore and see if he can keep them behind bars for longer. They are utterly unreasonable,” Rosalie said with fury.“Rosalie, did you cry?” Stephanie saw the redness in Rosalie’s eyes.Rosalie chuckled awkwardly.“It must be because of your husband,” Stephanie surmised. “At first, I had some reservations about your him. From what I saw today, my perspective of him has changed. No matter what, he was willing to protect you at the most critical moment. Very few men are capable of doing that.”“Yeah, it’s just a pity…” Rosalie sighed. “I feel very conflicted. I can’t deny he’s good in some areas,

“I’ll sleep here tomorrow night, too,” she finally said.The baby would want his father’s company, too.“What about the night after?” Theodore pushed his luck like a little child asking for candies, and he wanted more of it every day.“That too.”“What about the night after that?” he pursued relentlessly, like a haunting phantom.“I won’t go back to my room to sleep. I’ll move my things here and sleep with you.”He was asking so many questions, it made her blush. She swept her slightly warm cheeks with the back of her hand.“Really?” Theodore said in disbelief, looking doubtfully at her.“Of course. Why would I lie to you about this? Lie down first and get some rest. I’ll go to my room and grab my sleepwear.”“All right. You have to come back, okay? I’ll wait for you until you come back before I sleep.” He finally released her hand and laid down on a bed, looking like an abandoned child.Rosalie smiled helplessly, suddenly feeling like a mother. She was in fact one alread
