"Let's wait a bit longer. Grandma was in a good mood last night. If we suddenly bring up divorce, she won't be able to handle it.""Okay." Rosalie suddenly remembered something and added, "Don't worry. When we tell her, I'll say that I initiated the divorce. I'll tell Grandma that I only married you out of respect for her."Although you've been good to me, being with you hasn't made me happy at all. It's not your fault. I just have feelings for someone else. Grandma cares for me deeply, so she probably won’t hold it against you if I frame things that way."Even as they were about to divorce, Rosalie was primarily concerned about Theodore. She was doing everything she could to ensure Rebecca wouldn't blame him.Theodore stirred the cereal in his bowl, not taking a bite for a long while. His lips twitched, as if he was smiling yet suppressing something.After a long silence, he said darkly, "The way you say it sounds like that's truly what you feel."He looked up, his eyes simmerin
"Let go of me! I said I'm fine, can't you understand?" Rosalie exclaimed.Rosalie had always been patient. This was the first time she had lost her temper at Theodore.If she went to the hospital, he would definitely find out she was pregnant. Since they were getting divorced, he couldn't know about the child. If that happened, he would be tied to her because of the child, and he would surely hate them both."That'll be up to the doctor to decide. Be good, okay?" Theodore insisted as he forcibly carried her out of the room."Theodore, you're right. Those are my true feelings. I'm not happy with you!"Theodore abruptly stopped, his brows furrowing slightly.She endured the discomfort and continued, "I've put up with you for a long time, so I got a bit emotional when you asked me that. I'm fine. I've just endured too much in this marriage, and now I want to be free. I want to be alone. Let me go!"Her fists clenched tighter as she spoke. Saying these words felt like she was tearin
After Rosalie's checkup, the doctor reviewed the test results and said, "It's just mild food poisoning. It's nothing serious. You'll be fine after a few days of rest.""Is that so?" Theodore seemed disappointed when he heard that.When they arrived at the hospital, Rosalie had rushed to the restroom, and he clearly heard the sounds of her throwing up. At that moment, his heart had been heavy and filled with doubt. But now, the doctor was telling him she only had food poisoning.Breathing a sigh of relief, Rosalie forced a smile. "See, I told you it was nothing. It's just mild food poisoning. Let's go home."Theodore took the test report from the doctor's desk and examined it carefully. The results matched what the doctor had said."Then, give her some medication," Theodore said.After the doctor prescribed some medication for Rosalie, Theodore was ready to take her home. As they walked out, Rosalie saw Stephanie in the hallway. Dressed in a nurse's uniform, she was talking to som
"Just wait here for me, okay? What kind of man waits outside the women's restroom? Even if you're not embarrassed, I am," Rosalie said.Theodore remained silent for a moment, then let go of her hand. "Alright, I'll wait here for you."Rosalie immediately handed him the bottle of water, turned around, and walked away quickly."Slow down. Be careful not to fall," Theodore reminded her, his tone serious yet filled with concern.Passersby couldn't help but envy the couple.Rosalie slowed down. She clutched her chest tightly and frowned. It was a pity that his concern had come too late.She rushed into the restroom and closed the door. Then, she immediately knelt in front of the toilet bowl, forcing herself to throw up by shoving her fingers down her throat."Ugh..."A strong sense of discomfort surged from her stomach and throat, and she forcefully expelled all three pills she had swallowed. She flushed the toilet once she was done, then stumbled to her feet, unable to stand steadi
The words "Ms. Young" haunted Rosalie like a curse all the way back home.Feeling some discomfort, she wanted to lie down in bed as soon as she arrived. As she was walking to the bed, she stumbled and accidentally kicked the trash can. Just as she was about to steady it, she noticed a phone with a cracked screen in the trash can.Wasn't this Theodore's phone?Rosalie remembered having heard something fall in the room early this morning. It seemed to have been this phone.However, the floor of the bedroom was carpeted. So, even if the phone had fallen, it wouldn't make such a loud noise, nor would the screen have cracked like this. In fact, it looked as if someone had deliberately smashed the phone.-Since the argument in the car, Rosalie hadn't seen Theodore for four consecutive days. He seemed to have vanished into thin air, and the couple hadn’t been in contact with each other at all.Every day, Rosalie felt heartbroken. When she woke up every morning, she felt suffocated, bu
"This is Mr. Sebastian Carter, the primary shareholder of Ashwick University."Another round of thunderous applause erupted from the audience.A young man in a sharp suit elegantly walked onto the stage, nodding slightly to everyone before finally arriving at Rosalie’s side.Rosalie was somewhat shocked when she saw who it was. Wasn't he the gentleman she had shared a table with at the restaurant a few days ago?When Sebastian saw her, he also seemed slightly surprised but didn't show it. He accepted the degree certificate from the dean's hands.Rosalie stepped forward to receive her degree certificate. She bowed slightly, keeping her head lowered. The tassel on the right side of her mortarboard hung down. As per tradition, Sebastian gently moved the tassel from the right to the left. With that, the ceremony was complete.Looking up, Rosalie was about to express her gratitude when she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness that caused her to stagger. Sebastian immediately reached out
Sebastian seemed to have guessed something after observing the scene before him, but he didn't say anything.Rosalie struggled forcefully to break free from Theodore's embrace, feeling anxious under the scrutiny of so many eyes. She ignored her husband's grim expression, her concerned gaze falling on Sebastian."Mr. Carter, I'm so sorry. Would you like to go to the hospital?" she asked."I'm fine," Sebastian replied, his brow furrowed as he clutched his chest, clearly in pain.Just as Rosalie was about to approach to check on him, Theodore grabbed her wrist and forcefully pulled her back, his face terrifyingly cold."Let go of me!" Rosalie tried to break free from his grip, but the man was incredibly strong.Theodore wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace. His hostility-filled gaze was directed at Sebastian. As he kept his hold on Rosalie, he pulled a check out of his pocket and stuffed it into the other man's suit pocket.Theodore’s voice was tinged wi
"Rose, did you need something?"Theodore didn't directly answer her question, but it was true. Cynthia was his junior."I need to fill out my preferences for my university entrance exams. Do you have any suggestions regarding majors?"Theodore continued working with his head down as he replied, "Choose something you're interested in.""Then, I'll choose...""Sorry to interrupt," said Cynthia from the office doorway. "Mr. Spencer, Mr. Johnson is online and waiting for you."Theodore hummed in response and closed the file he was holding. "I'll be right there."As he walked past Rosalie, he said, "I'm a bit busy. Let's talk later.""Oh, okay," Rosalie replied, looking somewhat disappointed as she lowered her head.Noticing the lack of movement behind him, Theodore stopped and turned around. Eventually, he approached Rosalie and grasped her shoulder."What's wrong?""It's nothing. You should go attend to your business," Rosalie said, fearing she would delay him further."Tell m
