Rosalie saw Theodore’s dark expression, and feared he might throw her down the stairs.


    In the past, she would have been sure Theodore wouldn’t do


    something like that. But now, everything was different. This man


    might do anything, including throwing her down the stairs.


    Why else would he stop here?


    She couldn’t shake the thought.


    Theodore stared at her in silence, his ck eyes so deep and


    inscrutable they looked like a dark, cold sea.


    Rosalie swallowed hard, her heart pounding in fear. She nced at the staircase, dreading the


    thought of being thrown down. If he did, she’d be severely injured, and the baby wouldn’t survive.


    Compared to Theodore, she was physically weak and couldn’t


    possibly fight back. If he wanted to throw her, he could do it as easily as tossing a small bird.


    Driven by maternal instinct to protect her unborn child, she clutched Theodore’s cor. Her eyes


    were wide with fear. “Let’s not fight anymore tonight, okay?”


    She resolved to endure whatever it took, no matter how angry or hurt she felt, until the divorce was


    finalized tomorrow. Then, she would move out immediately and stay far away from Theodore


    forever.


    But she didn’t dare voice these thoughts, afraid of provoking him further. He was much too


    unpredictable.


    She couldn’t help but think of news stories about husbands killing their wives. The punishments the


    men get


    lenient.


    Theodore noticed her panicked expression and nced at the stairs, seemingly understanding her


    fear.


    “You think I’m going to throw you down here?”

    Sometimes, he couldn’t fathom what Rosalie was thinking, and it


    frustrated him. Other times, he felt like he could read her mind


    perfectly, which also frustrated him.


    Rosalie swallowed again, saying nothing. However, Theodore could already see the answer in her


    eyes.


    Theodore’s chest heaved heavily. His heart was pounding, and a spark of fire lit in his eyes.


    Suddenly, he loosened his grip, as if he was about to throw her down the stairs.


    “Ahhh!” Rosalie cried out in terror, quickly wrapping her arms around his neck and clinging tightly to


    him. “Don’t!”


    She was trembling in his arms like a frightened little rabbit. Her face went pale with fear, and her


    grip tightened around him.


    Theodore had only loosened his hold slightly, without any real intention of letting her go. He could


    never actually do such a thing- but seeing her so scared filled him with deep frustration. A heavy


    stone seemed to have dropped on his chest, and wouldn’t budge.


    She obviously didn’t trust him.


    Despite their years of knowing each other and being the closest people in the world, she didn’t trust


    him at all. She actually believed he might throw her down the stairs.


    Did she really think he was that kind of man?


    Feeling the intense anger in his eyes, Rosalie’s heart


    avoided his gaze, too afraid +


    guilt without knowing exactly why.


    Perhaps the guilt came from the realization that she had indeed thought of him as someone who


    could throw her down the stairs.


    Theodore held her there for several minutes, not the least bit out of breath. The entire time, his


    expression was unreadable.
