Chapter 929
Theodore was very calm as he said those words. It seemed as though those thoughts had been carved into his very bones and he was speaking them instinctively, and no one could change his mind. Aurora looked at him with dismay, as though she had been struck by lightning. There was an empty look in her eyes, as though they had lost their spark.
"What about me? Everything that has happened between us, the things you did to me, what are they to you? What is my heart and body to you?" she asked.
Every word of hers was drenched with agony and sorrow, as if someone was burning her at a stake.
Theodore looked down as guilt flashed past his eyes.
"I'm very sorry for what I did to you," he said as he lifted a hand and wiped her tears away. "Thank you for replacing Rose and bringing me warmth." "Replacing Rose..."
Aurora lost all hope upon hearing Theodore's words.
As it turns out, she had been a mere replacement all along. Theodore had never treated her as who she was, Aurora Payne.
Whether he was kissing, hugging, or doting on her.
They had even soaked in the tub before, with him hugging her from behind. When he had kissed her ear, all he could see was Rosalie.
No wonder he loved being behind her all the time. That way, he didn't need to see her face.
Everything he had done for her was because he had treated her as Rosalie.
He was thanking her. What a joke.
Yes, he really should thank her. She had done everything willingly. She said she was willing to be a replacement, so why was she feeling all that pain and sorrow? Even so, she couldn't help herself. Expectations that she shouldn't have had grown in her heart.
Once that happens and when things don't turn out as expected, those with weak wills will break down or even lose their minds and go crazy. They might even end up acting like mad dog on the loose, running around biting people.
"Aurora, go back to your room. Someone will be here to protect you from here on. After I find Rose, I'll be back." Theodore turned to leave.
"Don't go!" Aurora hugged him from behind. "Please don't go! You already have me, can be your replacement. As for Rosalie, she has her husband and he will find her. Please, I'm' begging you, don't go running into the lion's den!"
He barely managed to recover from his previous ordeal. Even if he's only treating her as a replacement right now, at least that means he has faced up to a new life. Yet now he
wanted to go back and find her.
QUMS
If he managed to find her, everything she had done would have been in vain. He would be entering the vicious cycle of pain and sorrow again and making himself miserable once more.
Aurora even suspected that woman of deliberately going missing so that Theodore would worry about her and look for her.
Was Rosalie trying to break her and Theodore up?
How wicked of her! How could she do something so evil?!
She was truly despicable. She already had a husband and a baby. Why was she still trying to steal Theodore away?
How shameless of her, playing games and pretending to go missing so that men would go looking for her. She was nothing but a shameless whore!
She was definitely hiding somewhere comfortable, smugly waiting for Theodore to find her and successfully steal his heart again.
That mysterious man was right. Rosalie was trying to cause Theodore's death!
She was such a loose woman who loved it when men revolved around her. Any man was capable of making her remove clothes. Cheap!
Aurora's cries and her trembling body made Theodore sigh.
"I'm sorry, Aurora. I can't leave her alone."
