Rosalie’s mind suddenly went nk.


    “You’re what?” Theodore asked.


    Rosalie closed her eyes in despair. Earlier today, he had used her of being impatient to sever


    ties with him, insisting they were not divorced yet. But clearly, he was the one who was eager to be


    with Cynthia!


    “I’m tired. I’m going to sleep.”


    The cruel reality shattered Rosalie’s courage. She could never match up to Cynthia. She wasn’t


    even worthy of being the other woman’s opponent because, to Theodore, Cynthia was the only one


    for him.


    To think Rosalie still wanted to salvage this marriage. It was trulyughable!

    “Alright. Get some sleep.” Theodore’s voice remained indifferent, devoid of any discernible


    emotion.


    After ending the call, Rosalie copsed on the bed and wept bitterly.


    “Theo, I’m two months pregnant,” she muttered.


    The next day, Rosalie woke up feeling groggy. Checking the time, she noted it was already noon.


    Her body felt sore as she got out of bed. Just as she finished washing up, the phone rang.


    It was Reba.


    “Hello, Grandma.”


    “Rose, why does your voice sound hoarse? Are you sick?” Roboca”


    asked with concern.


    “I’m fine, I just slept a bittest night.”


    “And Theo? Is he with you?”


    “He just went out.”


    “Went out?” Reba frowned. “He’s not with you on your birthday? That’s very unlike him!”


    Rosalie fell silent.


    Right, today was her birthday. But for her, birthdays didn’t mean much. anymore. If Reba hadn’t


    called her today, she would have forgotten. Theodore probably didn’t care either.


    “Grandma, it’s not like that. He’s been out personally preparing something for me. He said he wants


    to surprise me.”


    “Is that so? I’ll have to ask him about it,” Reba said skeptically.


    “Grandma, please don’t pressure him. Let him focus on preparing for my birthday. Even if you don’t


    trust him, you trust me, right?”


    Upon hearing Rosalie’s aggrieved tone, Reba softened. “Alright, I misunderstood. It’s good he


    remembered your birthday. You two enjoy your time together tonight. Your parents and I won’t


    disturb you.


    Rosalie nodded as she blushed. “Okay.”


    After the call ended, Rosalie stayed alone in her room, feeling immensely lost and guilty, as she


    really didn’t want to deceive Reba.


    After a while, her good friend, Stephanie Carter, called to wish her a happy birthday. Full of


    grievances but unable to confide in Steph, Rosalie continued to lie, saying she was spending the


    day with her husband.


    Two hourster, Reba called again, asking if Theodore had returned. Rosalie could only repeat


    that her husband wanted to surprise her, and she was about to go meet him.


    Not knowing where to go and not wanting to see anyone, she booked a hotel room and stayed there


    alone, flipping through channels on the TV to pass the time.


    Suddenly, a gossip news segment shed on screen, showing Theodore opening the car door for a


    mysterious woman who was clinging to his arm and whispering something in his ear. The two


    seemed very intimate. Though the camera didn’t capture the woman’s face, Rosalie recognized


    her.


    Who else but that woman would Theodore be so gentle with?


    Rosalie felt like her heart was being torn apart. It was as if someone had pulled her soul out of her


    body.


    Aedy variety show aired after that. However, Rosalie remained expressionless throughout the


    show, unable to muster a single smile.
