"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. Sh

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 to

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

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!”Rosalie 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

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
