Theodore’s warm breath brushed against Rosalie’s cheek, making it hard for her to breathe. She blushed and turned her head away to avoid his breath, her heart racing.

“Do you even know what you’re saying?”

He was probably drunk.

Theodore’s alcohol–laden breath wafted over her face. He was indeed drunk, but it was a fuzzy kind of drunk. His consciousness still clear.

“I know what I’m saying. The real question is, do you know what -you’re saying? I can practically smell how jealous you are.”

He chuckled lightly, his eyes looking at her as if she were a child.

“Who’s jealous?” Rosalie pushed against his chest forcefully. “Let go of me. I’m not jealous because of you! If you want to help her change clothes, go ahead. It’s none of my business.”

After all, she was about to divorce this man.

“If it’s none of your business, why bring it up? And why mimic her words only to say you’re not jealous now?”

He would be damned if she wasn’t jealous. Her eyes were almost tearing up from how bitter she was acting.

“I just don’t understand what you’re up to. You clearly want a divorce, but you waste time with Cynthia. Plus, you still haven’t told her the truth,” Rosalie argued logically.

Theodore stared at her in silence for a moment. “I just don’t want to disappoint her. What if something unexpected happens?”

“Exactly. Didn’t that already happen? You were delayed at work, and

then you went to the hospital to be with Cynthia, wasting even more time. Work stuff is understandable since it’s out of your control. But with Cynthia, there’s probably someone taking care of her. Why bother rushing there? If you had come earlier, maybe you’d have the resident register by now.”

Rosalie really couldn’t comprehend Theodore’s actions. At such an important moment, he actually went to Cynthia’s side.

Theodore suddenly chuckled, his large hand gripping her chin lightly. ” Don’t worry. The divorce will definitely happen. It won’t take up too much of your time.”

There he went again, saying she was worried. What did he know about her being worried?

But Rosalie couldn’t be bothered to explain further. She crouched down, and slipped out of his embrace.

Theodore’s arms were empty now, his hands bracing against the wall. He sighed, then lowered his hands and stumbled into the bathroom.

Back in the dining room, Rebecca asked, “Rose, is everything okay between you and Theo?”

She seemed to sense some subtle tension between them.

Rosalie sat down, her expression unreadable. “There’s nothing wrong between me and Theo, Grandma. Why do you ask?”

The old lady thought back to what Theodore had said after Rosalie left, then looked at Rosalie’s indifferent expression now.

She smiled, and said, “It’s nothing. But if Theo ever mistreats you or if anything feels off, you must tell me, okay?”

“Don’t worry, Grandma. Theo treats me really well.”

Rebecca nodded, and didn’t say much more,

Not long after, Theodore returned and sat beside Rosalie. The three of them ate together, chatting and laughing.

Rosalie did her best to keep Rebecca happy, while Theodore didn’t say much. He just kept drinking, and even finished a whole bottle of red wine.

By the end of lunch, Theodore was feeling the effects of the alcohol and was clearly intoxicated.

Rosalie had to help him to the guest room and lay him down on the bed. Theodore raised his hand to his forehead, his gaze blurry and unfocused.

“Why did you drink so much? How are you going to steal the resident register like this?” Rosalie whispered in his ear.

Her voice was barely audible, as she was afraid someone might overhear.

“I’ll go when I sober up,” he replied nonchalantly.

Chapter 122

“When will that be?! You know perfectly well what we have to do today, but you insist on causing so much trouble. Do you even want to divorce? If Cynthia finds out, she’ll be mad at you too,” Rosalie pressed.

She really couldn’t understand this man.

They were so close to getting divorced today, but he was causing all these problems on his own. He claimed it was an accident, but it didn’t seem like it.

The situation could have been controlled. If he hadn’t gone to Cynthia’s place and instead come straight here and had dinner with Rebecca, then he wouldn’t need to drink and everything would have gone smoothly. They might have already left by now and gone straight to apply for a divorce.

Theodore suddenly grabbed Rosalie’s waist, and pulled her forcefully toward him. She yelped as she fell into his arms.

Startled, she tried to push herself up by pushing against his chest. However, Theodore held onto her tightly.

She tried to loosen his grip, but found him half asleep and groggy. She shook her head helplessly, then got up from him and covered him with a blanket.

What should she do? Theodore was in no condition to steal the

resident register now. Even if he managed to get it, they wouldn’t be able to get a divorce.

Rosalie left the room and saw Rebecca standing at the door, smiling at her.

“Is Theo asleep?”

“Yes, he’s drunk.”

“If he’s drunk, just let him sleep for a while. Do you want to take a nap with him?”

“No need, Grandma. I’ll stay with you for a while.”

Rosalie helped Rebecca into the room. They chatted for a while, and before they knew it, the older woman was feeling sleepy. Rebecca lay down on the bed, and Rosalie covered her with a blanket.

na

“Grandma, rest for a while.”

“Rose, you can take a nap too.”

“Okay, Grandma. You go ahead and sleep first.”

Rebecca was soon fast asleep.

Rosalie gently called her a few times, “Grandma. Grandma?”

Seeing no response from the person in bed, Rosalie carefully got up.

She quietly opened the drawer in the cabinet, wanting to find the resident register. She knew it was in Rebecca’s room, but she didn’t know exactly where it was kept.

Suddenly, she spotted a box that was beautifully crafted and made of wood. It looked quite old, but there was a lock on it, requiring a key to

open.

If Rosalie guessed right, the resident register should be inside. However, she didn’t have the key. She needed to find it first.

Rosalie put the box back where it was, but she didn’t know where the key was. After thinking for a while, she figured it must be with Zane. He kept all the keys..

So Rosalie went to see Zane to ask him about it. She saw him. directing the servants in the yard, looking busy. She didn’t approach him directly, but cautiously made her way to his workroom.

On one wall hung various keys, all unmarked. Only Zane knew which key corresponded to which lock.

Rosalie remembered the keyhole of Rebecca’s box and spotted a

small, unique–looking key that closely matched it. Just as she was about to reach for it, she heard a voice behind her.

“Madam Rosalie, do you need something?”

Rosalie recoiled, as if shocked, and turned to see Zane standing

there. She didn’t know when he had appeared.

She smiled and replied, “Nothing much. I’m just wandering around since Grandma and Theo are both asleep.”

Zane didn’t seem suspicious. He approached her, and suggested, Madam Rosalie, why don’t you also take a nap?”

“Alright then. Since you’re busy, I won’t disturb you,” Rosalie said, and left the workroom.

Rosalie went back to Theodore’s room, feeling uneasy. She laid down. beside him, and covered herself with the blanket.

She wasn’t sure if Anthony suspected anything. Anyway, there was nothing she could do now. So, she decided to take a nap first.

Over an hour later, Theodore groggily opened his eyes to find a woman sleeping soundly beside him. He shifted to face her, his slightly drunken gaze fixing on her.

Actually, a single bottle of wine wasn’t enough to render him unconscious.

He moved closer, gently wrapping his arm around her before closing his eyes again.

Rosalie had been asleep for about two hours when she woke up to find Theodore holding her, deeply asleep.

When had he embraced her?

Rosalie felt a bit dazed, but pushed aside any stray thoughts when she thought about their relationship. Worried he might sleep too long and have trouble at night, she gently nudged him.

“Theo, wake up.”

Theodore opened his eyes, still drowsy. “What’s up?”

“You should wake up. Are you feeling better? I’ll make some garlic soup for you. It’ll help with your hangover,” she said.

Theodore rolled over, lying on his back. “Then you have to feed me.”

+25 BONUS

Rosalie chuckled; Theodore was acting like a kid. She left the bed,

and headed to the bathroom to freshen up before going to the kitchen. She cooked up the garlic soup for Theodore, and brought it to the room.

Theodore was still in bed; all that wine must have taken its toll on him.

“Theo, have some soup.

“Feed me.

Rosalie chuckled at his childishness. “You want me to feed you? You’re not unconscious. Get up and drink it yourself, quickly.”

Theodore’s long eyelashes fluttered, and a hint of vulnerability -flashed in his eyes. “But didn’t you feed me last time?”

Remembering the last time he was drunk and she had to feed him, Rosalie blushed. “You’re not as drunk this time, right? Hurry up and drink it while it’s warm.”

There seemed to be a hint of disappointment in Theodore’s eyes. He sat up in bed and obediently took the garlic soup from her, drinking it down in one gulp. He did feel much better after drinking it.

Rosalie gently touched his forehead and cheeks. Suddenly, he

grabbed her hand and kissed it.

Startled, Rosalie quickly withdrew her hand, blushing. “What are you doing?”

“Kissing you,” he replied directly.

Rosalie frowned, feeling a bit annoyed. “Stop it. We’re getting

divorced.”

“Since we shouldn’t do this, why did you touch me first? You started it. I was just returning the favor,” he argued.

+25 BONUS

“I…” Rosalie was rendered speechless by his rebuttal.

She placed the empty bowl on the bedside table.

“I found out where Grandma’s resident register is. It’s in a box, but it’s locked. I know where the key is. Let’s work together this afternoon to get the resident register. If we can’t do it today, we’ll go for the divorce tomorrow. Either way, we can’t leave empty–handed.”

She seemed determined to get the resident register.

Theodore frowned, holding his slightly throbbing head as he lay back on the bed.

“What’s wrong?” Rosalie asked worriedly.

“I have a headache,” he replied, clutching the bedsheet like a sick child.

“I warned you not to drink so much at lunchtime, but you didn’t listen, she scolded gently.

Seeing him in discomfort, her concern grew.

“Drinking makes Grandma happy,” Theodore said softly, looking at her. “I can’t comfort her like you do. Just a few words from you, and she feels really happy.”

Rosalie sighed. “Fine, get up and wash your face. It might make your feel better.”

Theodore let Rosalie pull him up from the bed.

After half an hour, Rosalie went to Rebecca’s room and found the

older woman awake and reading a book. She wasn’t sure how long

Rebecca had been awake.

“Grandma,” Rosalie greeted as she walked in.

“Rose, is Theo awake?”

“Yes, Grandma. I made him some garlic soup, and he drank it.”

“Oh, child. Why are you so good to him? You care for him like you’re his mother. Make sure he doesn’t take advantage of you.”

“Grandma, it’s not much trouble for me to make him some garlic soup. If I don’t help him clear his head, he’ll be a nuisance when he acts tipsy around you.”

“If he’s a nuisance, I’ll make him leave,” Rebecca said bluntly.

Rosalie sat on the edge of the bed. “Theo and I will stay with you this afternoon, and then we’ll have dinner together tonight. How about

that?”

They had originally planned to sneak out the resident register during the day, but the plan failed. Thus, Rosalie had to extend the time.

She had to get the resident register. She would divorce Theodore. latest by tomorrow.

Rosalie refused to drag it out any longer. She didn’t want to watch Theodore continue to be involved with Cynthia during their marriage.

After the divorce, he could do whatever he wanted, and she wouldn’t have to see it.

Theodore said she was in a hurry to divorce. Indeed, she was in a

T

hurry now.

“What’s going on with you two today? You’re both so eager to accompany an old woman like me. Is there something going on?” Rebecca asked.

Her eyes were sharp and clear despite her age, shining brightly.

Rosalie frowned. “Grandma, what do you think we are? Of course we want to spend more time with you! You’re usually alone here, and we should take care of you more. Your words make it sound like we have ulterior motives.”

Rosalie did have ulterior motives. She hated the way she pretended.

“Fine. If you want to accompany me, of course I’ll be happy. Why don’t you two stay the night? I won’t let Theo drink anymore if you do that,” Rebecca said.

“Okay. Thank you, Grandma,” Rosalie said with a smile.

Theodore and Rosalie did spend the afternoon with Rebecca. They tried to find an opportunity, especially Rosalie, who was particularly

active.

She told Theodore where the box containing the resident register was, hoping he’d find the right moment to get it. Unfortunately, there was never a good chance.

Since Zane always kept a bunch of keys in hand, one of which was the key to the box, Rosalie couldn’t directly ask him for it. If she did, he would definitely get suspicious and might inform Rebecca, who would easily catch on to what they were up to.

So, the couple had to wait patiently.

In the evening, Rebecca had the kitchen prepare a table full of dishes

and a pot of soup. The soup smelled delicious, its aroma filling the air from afar.

Rebecca insisted that Theodore drink three bowls of it, but she didn’t allow Rosalie to drink more.

Rebecca was jubilant today. Her grandson and granddaughter–in–law had accompanied her all afternoon, so naturally, she was in a good mood.

Rosalie and Theodore were waiting for an opportunity, but little did they know Rebecca was also biding her time.

Late at night, Rosalie cautiously made her way to Zane’s workroom. She used the flashlight on her phone to find the key that opened the box, and carefully removed it. Then, she slipped it into her pocket before sneaking away.

Rosalie felt like a thief. She was terribly nervous as she hurried back to her room.

As she opened the door, she immediately began, “Theo, I’ve got…”

Suddenly, she found herself enveloped in a pair of strong arms. Theodore pressed her against the door, and kissed her.

Rosalie was shocked, and the key in her hand clattered to the floor. Instinctively, she raised her hand to push against Theodore’s chest, trying to shove him away.

“Theo, what are you doing? Let go of me!”

His hot kisses landed on her cheek and neck. She felt something was

off with him.

“Theodore… Mmph…”

Her mouth was once again sealed by his.

To stop him, she bit down hard. A sharp sting pierced through.

Theodore’s hazy mind, causing him to furrow his brow slightly and release her. She had bitten hard, but hadn’t broken the skin.

“Are you a dog? You bit me!”

His hot breath washed over her face!

Rosalie looked up, and stared at the brooding man before her. Hist breath felt especially scorching, and it seemed like the room temperature rose several degrees with him standing there.

Quickly, she distanced herself from him, searching for the key on the floor. It took her a while, but she finally found it tucked away in a corner. She bent down to pick it up.

“What the heck was that?” She looked at him, resentment in her eyes.

Sometimes, Theodore’s behavior really puzzled her.

Theodore looked like he had just finished showering, a towel wrapped around his waist. His bare chest heaved heavily, as if restraining something. His demeanor looked terrifying.

+25 BONUS

There seemed to be a hint of regret in his eyes. He backed away, sitting on the bed with his hands on his knees. He put his head down, his breath growing more labored by the moment.

Sensing something wrong, Rosalie approached and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you unwell?”

She raised her hand to touch his forehead. Suddenly, he grabbed her wrist and forcefully flung her away. “Don’t touch me!”

At that moment, it felt like he had tossed her heart aside just as harshly.

In Rosalie’s memory, it seemed like the first time he had treated her. like this–as if he was disgusted by her touch.

The hand Theodore had flung away gradually clenched into a fist.

“Fine, I won’t touch you. I know we’re about to get divorced, and Cynthia won’t be happy about it. But just now, you suddenly came to

me and kissed me! You were the one who started it!” she snarled.

Theodore had used this excuse before. When she touched him first,

he kissed her. But this time, he kissed her first.

Why was he keeping silent now? He might as well add “Double

Standard” as his middle name!

Hearing the resentment in the woman’s tone, Theodore looked up, his eyes burning with desire.

Seeing his eyes turning red, Rosalie felt a bit worried. “What’s wrong with you? Are you sick? Should I take you to the hospital?”

“No need. I’m not sick.”

His voice became hoarse, and his hands gripped his knees tightly. The veins on the back of his hands were bulging and obvious.

“I’ll go get the thermometer to check your temperature.”

Rosalie felt like Theodore might have a fever. His body felt hot when she approached him.

Just as she was about to turn around, Theodore suddenly grabbed her arm. “No need. I’m not running a fever.”

Rosalie glanced at the man’s hand, a hint of exasperation on her face. “Then why don’t you let go of me? What’s with all the touching?”

Why was it okay for him to have double standards, but she couldn’t complain?

Theodore looked at her through half–lidded eyes, the desire in his eyes growing stronger.

“Rose, stop provoking me. I’m having a hard time controlling myself right now. I don’t know what I might do if I lose control!”

“I’m not provoking you. I just find you strange. You should go to the hospital if you’re not feeling well,” Rosalie said as she sat beside him. “I’m really worried about you.”

Chapter 126

His hand slid down her arm to her fingers, as sweat gradually beaded on his forehead.

Rosalie broke free of his hold, and held her hand to his forehead.

Upon realizing that his forehead was warm to the touch, she felt his cheeks and neck too.

She immediately stood up and said, “No, we have to head to the hospital right now. You’re having a fever!”

Rosalie stood up, but suddenly felt him hug her tight from the back.

Theodore lifted her entire body, and spun it around before throwing her on the bed. He pressed her body down on hers, leaving no space. for escape whatsoever.

His body felt like a huge mountain pressing down against her, making. her feel out of breath. The key in her hand slid down the bed. She raised her hand to press it against his solid chest, which felt searing hot to the touch.

She swallowed past her constricted throat, the look in her eyes tense as her body began trembling. “What are you doing?!”

Out of fright from his sudden movement, she almost forgot what she was supposed to do. She didn’t even realize that the key had fallen out of her hand.

“Rose… We’re still husband and wife, right?”

Theodore’s hoarse voice felt like fire as his huge palm caressed her cheek. She could feel the calluses on his hand.

“We are, but I…” she sputtered.

“Shh…

He rested his finger on her tender lips and leaned closer to her, at wicked look glinting in his eyes.

“Since we are husband and wife, shall we do what married couples do

in bed?”

“N–No way!” Rosalie started to panic, as her brain started buzzing at

his words.

She suddenly thought of something, and felt around the bedside.

She found the key, and waved it in front of him as she said, “I’ve stolen the key. I’ll sneak the box in here after Grandma is asleep, and we’ll open it to take our resident register so we can file for a divorce.

tomorrow.”

They had only one night left before they were officially divorced.

Things would become messy if they added sex into the picture before that happened.

The panicked look on Rosalie’s face made Theodore’s face darken. with displeasure. The anxiety written all over her face made it clear. that she didn’t want his touch.

“You’re quite enthusiastic. All you can think about is the resident. register.”

His breath felt warm, but his words were dripping with sarcasm.

Rosalie’s anger rose from his words,

“Theodore Spencer, I am truly very confused. You’re the one who’s eager to file for a divorce and be with Cynthia! But now, I’m the one who’s doing everything while you’re so passive. I found the box and stole the key, just like a thief would. And you have the gall to chide me for being enthusiastic? Do you want a divorce or not?”

+25 BONUS

Theodore’s solid chest heaved, as if something was on the verge of explosion inside him. He clenched the sheets by her ears, a fire burning in his eyes.

He gritted his teeth; after a long while, finally got up from her.

Rosalie heaved a sigh of relief, and sat up on the bed too.

She was about to speak when she looked down, noticed something and blushed. Immediately, she looked away, her breath catching in her throat. “You…”

Realizing that she had noticed something, Theodore decided that there was no point in hiding things and said, “The soup Grandma ordered the kitchen to prepare is very…nourishing. Men’s urges are easily aroused with that soup.”

“What?!”

te Was

surprised by his revelation.

No wonder Grandma didn’t allow her to drink too much of it, while

letting Theodore have lots more! She found it odd at that time, but now, it made sense.

Chapter 127

That was too much of Grandma! Why did she have to do that?

It was rare for her to finally show some concern for her grandson; when she finally did, it had to be a scheme against him.

No wonder Theodore pounced on Rosalie the moment she entered the room. He was a hot–blooded young man who had just had some soup with aphrodisiac effects. No wonder he felt the urges!

Theodore was worried that he might act rashly and fail to hold himself back, which explained why he flung her hands away. As it turned out, she had misunderstood him.

The pained expression on his face made Rosalie ask in a soft voice, Then… What should we do now?”

Under such circumstances, it seemed as though having sex was the only way to bring him relief. But given their situation right now, they couldn’t behave as they did in the past.

To make matters worse, she was pregnant right now.

“I’ll take a cold shower.”

Theodore stood up, and headed to the washroom.

Thinking about her misunderstanding him, Rosalie felt guilty. She left the room and went to the kitchen, where she prepared some ice cubes in a container.

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind her.

“Madam, you’re still awake at this hour.”

Rosalie’s heart thumped as she turned around, and stuttered, “Zane, you…you’re still awake, too.”

“I came out to see if there’s any area that you didn’t manage to clean up. Why do you need so many ice cubes?”

“…”

With a guilty conscience, Rosalie wondered if Zane realized that he had lost a key from his room.

He was probably also aware that Theodore just had a big bowl of aphrodisiac soup, and was suffering from the effects of it right now.

It was suspicious of her to be getting some ice cubes. She couldn’t. possibly explain that they were to help lower his temperature because. she didn’t allow him to touch her, could she?

After considering her options, Rosalie said coyly, “Zane, this is something private between me and Theodore. Please don’t ask about it any further. I feel shy talking about it.”

“Oh.” Zane smiled awkwardly as he nodded. “Pardon me, Madam. Please go ahead.”

He immediately stepped aside, and gave way to her.

Rosalie walked past him with her ice cubes container in hand.

“Oh yes, Zane…” She stopped to turn around and say, “Do turn in early. Theodore and I will feel shy if there are still people awake in the house.”

She was worried that Zane might go to his workroom and realize that the key was missing, and look around for it. It would be terrible if Grandma were to find out.

Zane nodded in acknowledgement. “Yes, Madam. I’ll turn in immediately.”

Rosalie returned to the room with the ice cubes in hand. She walked to the washroom door, and could almost hear him panting inside.

+25 BONUS

She raised a hand, and knocked on the door.

“Theodore,” she called out.

“What’s the matter?” He sounded as though he was suppressing something.

“I brought a container of ice cubes for you. It might make you feel better.”

She knocked on the door again when she received no reply.” Theodore?”

Rosalie panicked, worried that something might have happened to him. She opened the door, and saw his entire body in the water.

Frightened, she immediately placed the container on the floor before pulling Theodore out of the water.

His face emerged from the water with a splash. He wiped the drops. of water away from his face, and glared at her with a frightening expression.

“What are you doing?”

“What are you doing? Why are you drowning yourself in the tub?”

“I’m trying to lower my body temperature, what else?”

Did she think that he was trying to drown himself?

“…”

The water in the tub was very clear, and Rosalie could see everything in it. When her gaze landed on his body, she looked away, her cheeks blushing a bright red.

In her panic, she quickly picked up the container of ice cubes from the floor and handed it to him.

+25 BONUS

“These are ice cubes. Eat some, or rub them on your body. I’ll leave them to you.”

Chapter 128

The evasive look in Rosalie’s eyes displeased Theodore even more.

“It’s not as if you’ve never seen my naked body before,” he said.

Rosalie remained silent as she stood up. She then said, “Please…. continue with your bath. I’ll head out first.”

She was about to leave the washroom, when she suddenly slipped and fell backward.

“Ahh!”

Rósalie shrieked, and instinctively wrapped her arms around her belly.

The next second, she was caught in a wide, warm embrace. The two of them fell into the tub with a splash.

Rosalie’s entire body was immersed in cold water. She trembled as she began struggling in the water. Although she was still dressed, her body was pressed tightly against his, and she could feel every curve. on his body.

Theodore carried Rosalie out of the water and out of the washroom.

Rosalie was still shivering from the cold. She hugged him tight and. pressed her pale, petite face against his chest, trying to absorb the warmth emanating from his body..

After returning to the room, Theodore immediately removed her wet. clothes and threw them aside. Very soon, her body laid bare before.

Rosalie wrapped herself up tightly in the sheets like a cocoon, and curled up on the bed. Looking up, realizing that the cold water bath just now hadn’t done a thing for Theodore. His eyes looked even

more blood–shot, on the verge of spitting fire.

She heard that not getting any relief in such circumstances was detrimental to a man’s health.

Thinking again, they were still as husband and wife. They had done the deed many times before. Suddenly, the thought of doing it just one more time not such a big deal after all.

Rosalíe gradually released the sheets wrapped around her, and allowed it to slide down from her body.

She looked at Theodore with an innocent gaze, looking mesmerizing.

“Theodore, we’re still husband and wife right now. If you really want to, then…”

She pulled off the sheets completely from her body.

“I can help you in any way you need, but can you please…not go all the way?”

She was pregnant right now, and her body probably wouldn’t be able to withstand sex right now. Furthermore, sex wasn’t the only solution. There were many other ways she could help him..

Theodore pursed his lips, then opened them slightly as he breathed. hard. The hesitation and reluctance in Rosalie’s eyes doused the fire. in his eyes.

Was she so unwilling to be intimate with him? She even requested for him not to go all the way.

Ultimately, she was unwilling to go to bed with him.

“No need. I don’t want to touch you,” he snapped.

Since she didn’t want him touching her, what was the point of forcing himself on her? He didn’t want her feeling indignant about it, or even cry. It would only make him feel like a monster.

His refusal to touch her stunned Rosalie. She felt as though someone. had doused a bucket of cold water over her head, chilling her bones. The cold she felt from falling into the water just now was nothing. compared to the cold she felt right now.

Her face turned pale as she looked up at him in shock.

He had looked so eager to touch her moments ago, but now, he was refusing her so casually. His eyes were filled with disgust and disdain. over the thought of touching her.

Rosalie anxiously covered herself with the sheets once more as awkwardness and embarrassment filled her heart..

What a joke! She threw herself at a man, and ended up being rejected.

“You were the one who pressed me against the door and kissed me, insisting that we’re still husband and wife and that we should be

doing what a married couple do. Now that I’m willing, you look so reluctant and disdainful.”

She gripped the sheets tighter in her hands, and bit out, “Sometimes, I really don’t know if it’s your problem or mine. Or maybe, if the problem lies with the both of us.”

“Aren’t you unwilling to let me touch you?”

Theodore stood coldly by the bedside, his fists clenching by his side.

“You were the one who pushed me away. Isn’t my refusal to touch. you precisely what you wanted? You even told me not to go all the way just now. At the end of the day, you just don’t want me touching. you. In that case, what’s the point of me trying to do so?”

For a split second, her resentful expression made Theodore wonder if he was the one at fault. On second thought, she was clearly the one who didn’t allow him to touch her.

She could help him in any way he liked, but he couldn’t go all the way

with her.

If she could bring herself to say that, how could he continue touching her? How did it become his fault? Did she have any idea how much he was holding himself back?

“I…” Rosalie was filled with indignation, but she refused to tell him the

truth.

She couldn’t.

If she weren’t pregnant at such a critical moment, she wouldn’t refuse

him.

Rosalie looked down as tears fell from her eyes. She gripped the

sheets tightly, and buried herself deeper in them as she laid on the bed without even wearing the sleeping gown.

Theodore looked at the indignant woman on the bed, frustration.

rising in his chest. He wasn’t frustrated with her, but by how things

turned out like this.

Rosalie heard Theodore’s footsteps and saw him getting dressed, looking as though he was preparing to head out. He walked toward

the door.

“Where are you going?”

Why was he heading out at such a late hour?

“I’m leaving. Rest–well.”

He grabbed the door handle in a bid to leave.

If he keot staying in this room, he couldn’t guarantee that he could stop himself from doing anything. It was better for him to make

himself scarce.

“Wait,” Rosalie called out to him.

Theodore turned to ask, “What else do you want?”

“We haven’t settled the issue with our resident register. We won’t be able to file for a divorce if you leave right now,” she said.

Chapter 130

Divorce. It was about the divorce again..

Theodore tightened his grip over the door handle.

Yes, they should be getting a divorce!

“Theodore, we agreed to get our hands on our resident register today. If you leave just like this, I…”

“If I don’t leave now, should I stay here and sleep with you?”

His voice betrayed the frustration beneath.

“Then tell me where you’re going. Are you heading home, or are you. going to find Cynthia?”

Since he couldn’t find relief from Rosalie, it was a likely possibility that he might look for Cynthia in the middle of the night.

It would have been fine if Rosalie simply asked him if he was heading

home–but she had to mention Cynthia’s name, of all things.

Theodore’s brows furrowed as he turned around, and said sharply,” Find Cynthia, of course!”

Rosalie’s heart fell, and she clutched her chest. “We’re not yet

divorced. If you go looking for another woman, where does that leave. me? Can’t you just bear with it for one night?”

“What about you? We’re not yet divorced, and you refuse to let me touch you. What else can I do?”

“Didn’t I say I can help you in other ways?”

“I don’t want any other way! I just want the normal way that husbands.

and wives do!” Theodore exploded, frustrated.

He glared at her, his eyes deep and dark as he said, “Can you do it?”

Rosalie instinctively touched her belly under the sheets. She would surely agree to it–if not for this chi. She felt miserable and wretched inside, but she didn’t explain herself to him. She could only let the indignation she felt inside turn into anger.

“Leave, then. Go find Cynthia and do whatever you please!”

With that, she laid back down on the bed and pulled the sheets over her head, and began sobbing.

‘Baby, I’m sorry. Mommy is useless and couldn’t let Daddy stay. I can’t tell him the truth, either. Since I can’t let him go all the way, how can I stop him from leaving? Since we’re about to a divorce, I’ll let him be. Mommy feels too tired from all these!‘ she lamented inwardly.

де

After a long while, Rosalie poked her head out from the sheets and realized that Theodore truly was gone.

Rosalie wiped the tears from her face, and looked down at her belly.” Baby, don’t you worry. Even without Daddy, I can take good care of you.”

She felt so miserable, she had completely forgotten about the key.

After a long while, she suddenly felt tightness in her chest and had difficulty breathing. Each time she closed her eyes, she could see Theodore being intimate with Cynthia.

Did he really look for her and sleep with her?

No, she had to find something to do to distract herself.

Rosalie washed her face to perk herself up, before carefully tip–toeing

into Grandma’s room.

Since Theodore had left, she had to sneak the resident register out herself and call Theodore tomorrow.

Rebecca’s room wasn’t locked from the inside. She was advanced in years, after all. If she were locked herself in and an accident occurred, no one could go to her rescue.

This was how Rosalie managed to successfully sneak into

Grandma’s room.

She took out her phone, and switched the flashlight on. She tried her best not to shine it on Rebecca lest she woke her up.

Rebecca was in deep sleep, and didn’t realize that someone had entered her room.

Rosalie came to the place she discovered that day, and found the box. She couldn’t open the box right here–it would be too risky. Instead, she held the box in her arms and tip–toed out of the room.

She held her breath all the way until she returned to her room. She anxiously shut the door, locked it, and placed the box on her bed before taking the key out with trembling hands.
