Theodore finally said, “Yes, you’re right. There’s simply no love, and if it remains so for a decade, then the only conclusion is to let go of things!”His words pierced through Rosalie’s heart like a dagger. The resulting wound in her heart hurt so bad, she felt suffocated.She suddenly lost control of her emotions, and yelled into the phone, “I’ve already given you and Cynthia what you both want! Hurry up and marry her! Don’t come harassing me again! I hate you, and I don’t ever want to see you!” With that, she hung up and crumpled on the carpet, sobbing loudly.‘Theodore Spencer, you bastard! I know you don’t love me. Haven’t I already let you go? Why did you have to speak so cruelly and twist the knife that was already in my heart?’*Theodore’s arms slumped to his sides as he leaned weakly against the car window and stared at Rosalie’s window in a daze.Since she didn’t fall in love with him even after ten years, what else could he do? ‘Rose,’ he thought, ‘aren’t I letti
Rosalie felt a little woozy, and did need the support. She flashed him a grateful smile and stretched her hand out to him.The young man helped her up from the ground, carefully and very politely.When Rosalie got to her feet, she felt very dizzy and almost lost her balance. The young man grabbed her arm and held her steady.“Miss, I’ll help you over that bench. You can sit there.”There was a bench nearby, where people could sit and take a rest.Rosalie knew she wasn’t able to walk, and nodded in agreement. The two of them sat on the bench, and the young man handed her a bottle of water. “Have some water,” he offered.“No need, thank you.”She instinctively rejected water offered by a stranger, even though she did feel thirsty.“Don’t be scared. I’m not a bad guy. I live here too. I bought this bottle from the convenience store just now, and it’s still sealed. Go ahead and have a drink. Your lips are so dry and chapped.”The young man looked innocently at Rosalie, his eyes
“I saw a man downstairs who looked furious. He drove off right before you came downstairs, crying while calling a name.”Rosalie smiled helplessly at the young man’s mention of ‘a man who looked furious’.How could he be angry? He told her so straightforwardly that he didn’t love her even after ten years. What did he have to be angry about? “Is that man your boyfriend?” the young man asked. “He…” Rosalie smiled bitterly. “He’s my ex-husband. We recently got divorced.”“I see. Why are you still crying over him, then?”Tears were still hanging from the corners of her eyes as she smiled; a slightly bitter smile. “I… I’m not crying anymore. I won’t cry anymore from now on.”“That’s the way. Don’t cry, miss. You look like a good person. That guy must be the one at fault. The divorce has nothing to do with you. You have to remain happy and positive.”Rosalie looked up into his deep, dark eyes. “Why do you trust me so much? We haven’t known each other for more than a few minutes, an
Yerick scratched his head, and said with a coy smile, “During the summer holidays, I learned under a doctor. I know how to feel a pulse. When I helped you up just now, I could feel from your pulse that you’re pregnant.”Rosalie asked doubtfully, “How do you know I’m pregnant just from my pulse? How does my pulse feel like?”She was completely clueless in this regard. Had she not seen and experienced it for herself, she would never have expected a young man to be able to feel her pulse and tell that she was pregnant so easily.“Is like this…” Yerick paused thoughtfully for a moment. “Can you give me your hand?”Rosalie lifted her hand toward him, curious. Yerick held her wrist carefully, and pressed the tip of his finger on her wrist.“The pulse of a pregnant woman has a special characteristic. It feels very rounded and fluent, like a string of beads at regular intervals. In the medical field, we feel the pulse at three spots. The first spot is near the palm, with the middle fi
A genius was indeed worlds apart from her.She only managed to graduate from University when she was twenty-one, while he was studying for his Ph.D. at the age of 18. Sometimes, there really was no point comparing between different people. It would only be depressing.She felt as though she was looking at Theodore when he was 18 years old. He was incredibly smart at that age, too.However, he wasn’t as warm or sweet as Yerick.When Theodore was 18, he was very stern and hardly smiled. He wasn’t like his peers, who were bright and lively. He took everything seriously, and was careful and meticulous in all he did. In turn, he was also more mature and had a stronger sense of responsibility compared to them. When he realized that Rosalie was in a daze, Yerick raised a hand and waved it in front of her eyes.“Hey, what’s the matter?”“Huh?” Rosalie snapped back to reality. “Nothing, I just suddenly feel a little hungry.”“You’re hungry? What a coincidence, me too. I know an Itali
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
