Theodore leaned against the wall with one hand, every muscle taut. Rosalie was close, and she felt


    every ounce of his strength.


    He didn’t seem weak at all; yet strangely enough, she believed his


    words.


    Theodore stared at her flushed cheeks. A thin mist covered her fair face, making her look even


    lovelier than usual, she was irresistibly

    attractive.


    Rosalie appeared delicate and vulnerable, but he knew she needed care too. Her heart was soft;


    despite his many faults, she forgave him


    time and time.


    At only twenty–one, she was in the prime of her youth–and yet, she always seemed saddened by


    him.


    Sometimes, he really did feel like a jerk.


    After Theodore finished bathing, Rosalie’s face was almost as red as a tomato. She dried him off,


    blew dry his hair, dressed him in pajamas, and helped him into bed.


    The whole process felt like she was taking care of a child.


    As Theodorey in bed, silently watching her bustling around for him, she ced a ss of water


    on his bedside table. “You should rest


    now.”


    “What about you?”


    He held her hand, reluctant to let her go, like a sick child unwilling to part with his mother.


    Rosalie smiled tenderly. “I’ll take a shower ande back soon. You


    sleep first.”


    Theodore nodded obediently, and closed his eyes..


    Suddenly, Rosalie felt a sense of maternal satisfaction. She got up from the bed and went into the


    bathroom.


    Once she was inside, Theodore immediately opened his eyes. He pulled down the covers, as he felt


    unbearably hot.


    After Rosalie finished showering, she came out wearing pajamas. She found him on the bed,


    seemingly asleep. She sat by the bed, staring at him for a while before lying down beside him,


    covering them both with the nket.


    Just as she reached out to turn off the light, Theodore turned over. He pulled her into his arms


    tightly, then said in a husky voice, “You smell so good.”


    Rosalie blushed. “You’re not asleep yet?”


    She thought he was already asleep.


    “Yeah,” Theodore murmured. “I waited for you. I couldn’t sleep. You smell amazing.”


    “Don’t we both smell the same?”


    They both used the same shower gel, which carried a jasmine fragrance.


    Theodore hugged her tighter, burying his head in her neck and inhaling her scent deeply. “You smell


    better than me.”


    Rosalie couldn’t help but smile. He always made everything apetition, and wanted to let her


    win.


    “Alright, I smell good. Now hurry up and sleep. The doctor said you need rest,” she urged.

    “Rose, don’t be angry at me, okay?”


    He sounded almost pitiful, like a child, as he spoke softly by her


    shoulder.


    “Why would I be angry at you when everything’s fine?”


    In an instant, she felt sorry for him; seeing him so vulnerable broke her heart. Just the thought of


    him getting hurt today for her sake melted her heart into a puddle.


    How could she stay angry at him?


    “I messed up. I’m not a good husband. I always make you angry and sad. I’m terrible,” he


    confessed.


    Rosalie gently stroked his hair. “Theo, there’s no such thing as a perfect person in this world. Yes,


    you have your ws, but you’re willing to protect me. You’re willing to apologize when you’re wrong,


    and that’s what matters. It’s about learning from your mistakes.”


    Theodore furrowed his brow. Rosalie really did treat him like a child.


    Well, it didn’t matter as long as she wasn’t mad at him. Suddenly, a thought came to his mind–if


    they ever had children together, their kid would surely look good.
