The Substitute Twin Bride のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

The car pulled up to a luxury shopping center, where Matteo stopped at the valet. Rose waited for Matteo to get out first, then quickly snatched the photo and shoved it into her bag. She stepped out of the car and immediately linked her arm through Matteo’s as they walked into the mall.Matteo led Rose into a boutique where even the cheapest clothing cost several thousand dollars. That made Rose even more uneasy, knowing Matteo was spending so much money. Never in her life had Rose seen anyone spend this kind of money on her—just for a single dress.The sales assistant prepared several outfits and took them to the fitting room. Rose hurried inside, opened her bag, and pulled out the mysterious photo from the car. Her eyes widened when she saw it was a picture of herself.The photo had been taken at the train station, near the luggage counter.Her whole body trembled, feeling as if she’d been caught red-handed. Rose’s thoughts spiraled out of control.What if Matteo already knew everyt

“Jane!” The nurse’s voice rang out, but Romilda couldn’t be bothered to answer. She kept her eyes fixed on the TV screen, where a quiz show was playing. “Jane, you haven’t taken your medicine yet.” The nurse held out the pills to her.Romilda opened her palm, letting the pills fall into her hand. As usual, she swallowed them all at once and then opened her mouth wide to show it was empty. “Thank you, Jane. Go ahead and keep watching your show,” the nurse said.“Nurse.” Romilda cleared her throat. “Don’t call me Jane anymore. My name is Rose.” The nurse gasped. “Wait—you remember now? You remember your past?” “Not really. Just… that name keeps coming back to me. I think my name is Rose.” “Oh, alright. I’ll tell the Doctor about this. You can talk to him yourself. This is such good news, Jane—oh, I mean, Rose.” “Me too,” Romilda forced a smile. “The Doctor will be here shortly. You’ll get a chance to talk to him in his office, okay?” “Okay.”Romilda turned her gaze back to the

Matteo broke the kiss, then tugged Rose’s hand, leading her out of the bedroom. “I’m starving,” Matteo said with a soft chuckle.Rose’s heart finally eased. She nodded happily, relieved to see the light return to his face. She grabbed the menu from the table and handed it to Matteo.“What do you want to eat? I swear everything on here looks delicious,” Rose said.The two of them sat down together on the couch, Rose resting her head against Matteo’s chest. With surprising seriousness, Matteo studied the menu.“I don’t know. You decide. I’ll eat whatever you order,” Matteo said, passing the menu back into Rose’s hands.“Oh, come on,” she teased.Rose skimmed through the options, trying to pick something Matteo might like. The roast duck sounds delicious—and so does the wagyu steak. Rose had never tasted dishes with such fancy names before. She found herself completely lost, not knowing what to order.“Romilda, I actually saw a notification on your phone. From someone named Dawson,” Mat

The vacation turned into a restless one for Rose, even though she tried not to show it. The following days—sailing on a yacht down the Colorado River, touring Vegas—still left her uneasy. Matteo’s words kept haunting her.After their conversation at the Skyline, Rose’s answer might have disappointed Matteo. She had told him that she would live her days with him. If they were blessed with children, then it would be a gift for both of them.Matteo acted as if nothing was wrong, showing no sign of being hurt. But Rose herself felt more and more uneasy.After five days of vacation, they finally returned to their routines and work, which was waiting for them. That morning, Rose and Matteo came down to the dining room, finding Nicole already there.“How was your trip?” Nicole asked.Rose immediately went to her, giving her a warm hug. “It’s wonderful. Thank you again.”“Don’t mention it. I’m glad you enjoyed it.”Matteo sat down with a faint smile. Just as Rose was about to take her seat, a

Rose was devastated when she found out she was four weeks pregnant after the lab results came out. Even though she tried to show happiness in front of Matteo, inside, she felt something entirely different. Instead of joy, Rose was overwhelmed with confusion.Her eyes stayed fixed on the lab sheet as she struggled to hold back her tears.Is this a blessing… or a curse? she wondered.The child in her womb was undoubtedly Matteo’s. Yet the baby had no rightful claim to anything, because Rose was living as Romilda. This should never have happened.What scared Rose most was the thought that if she kept the baby, Romilda might try to take it away. Of course, Rose would never abort it—she already felt love blooming in her heart for the tiny life. But her fear grew stronger when she thought of Romilda’s return.“Darling?”Matteo’s voice pulled her out of her thoughts. He took the test results from her hand and placed them on the nightstand. Holding her hands tightly, he looked at her with dee
