NovelEnglishTheodore and Rosalie sat in the living room as the butler carried Steve away. Rosalie wanted to talk to Theodore alone.
But they remained silent as they sat opposite each other, none of them saying a word.
Rosalie was the first to speak up. "Theo, you've taken really good care of Steve. Thank you." Theodore leaned back on the couch and said plainly, "There's no need for you to thank me. I'm just doing what a father should do." "Theo, what have you been busy with these few days?" "Nothing much, just work stuff." "Even if you're busy with work, you should get enough rest and not tire yourself out too much." Theodore nodded. "I know. You and Justin..." "Everything is well between us, don't worry." "Did he bully you?" "Of course not," Rosalie said with a smile. "If he did, I'll definitely tell you." She thought saying that might make Theodore feel a little better.

Even though we're not together, we co-parent and share the responsibility of taking care of Steve. We'll also see each other a lot and can spend tchatting with each other harmoniously. Isn't that great?" Many couples behave like enemies after divorce, swearing never to see each other again and filled with hatred for each other.
She and Theodore were considered fortunate to end up like this, still able to talk peacefully with each other.
They had built a strong relationship foundation over the years, after all. Even without love, they had kinship between them. They would never look at each other with animosity, as though they were enemies.
"Rose, I..." Theodore wanted to say something, but his throat was so hoarse, he couldn't speak a word.
Eventually, he smiled and said, "You're right. It's good enough to be able to see you. What else could I ask for? At least you leftwith the child." "Theo, one day, you'll find a woman you truly love..." "Don't say that," Theodore said, cutting her off rather agitatedly. "Don't ever talk toabout sfuture woman I'll love, please." The woman he loved was sitting right opposite him, but she didn't love him back and was with another man.
Every night, he would torment himself with thoughts of what Rosalie and Justin were doing. His heart would always ache so badly, he couldn't go to sleep.
He didn't know how long this torment would last, but he knew that he was unable to let go of his feelings right now.
Any talk of the future or whether he would meet a woman he loved was unacceptable to his ears.

"Alright, I won't say that again. Theo, your life is your own and you have every right to choose the kind of lifestyle you want. You can choose to either be in pain or live life joyfully. I know you might not be able to feel happy about certain things, but theals all things. You have Steve by your side. Don't you feel happy hearing him call you Daddy?" "Of course, I do." Steve was his only source of joy right now. The baby was the fruit of love between him and Rosalie.
"Will you have children with Justin in the future?" Rosalie chose to answer his question honestly. "I discussed this with him, and we will have our own children in the future. But don't.
worry Even if we do have childre my love for Steve won't be ovpromised." "Rose, do you know? When I noticed that Justin's fingers were still moving, my first reaction was to hide it from you. I wanted him to die, because that will make youe back to me." Rosalie was shocked to hear Theodore's confession. "What did you say?" "Rose, does that make you hate me? I almost caused the death of the love of your life." Rosalie's first reaction was to get mad, but the tears in Theodore's eyes made her suppress her anger, choosing to think calmly instead.
"Theo, the fact that you toldabout this proves that you're not a bad person. In fact, you did save Justin. You chose to tell the truth, so I'm still thankful for you and won't hate you." Theodore held back his tears with all his might.
He tried to cover up his sorrow with a smile.
"I'd rather you hateand seeas a bad guy. That way, I might be able to do bad things without fearing judgment, like snatching you back from Justin." "But you're not a bad person, Theo. You'll always be the father of my child and I'll never et how good you are to me." Theodore lowered his head and chuckled, his eyes turning red.
He suddenly knew why Rosalie eventually chose to be with Justin. He told both of them about him almost causing Justin's death, and both of them reacted the sway-they never blamed him.
