    Theodore finally understood why Rosalie chose Sebastian. She was carrying Sebastian''s child; how could she allow the father of her child toe to harm?


    They had long fallen for each other, but he was still caught up in his own feelings, loving her to the point of risking his life.


    Rosalie had long given her heart to another man. From the very beginning, she had given her all to someone else.


    Theodore used nearly all his strength to force a calm smile. "That''s right, I didn''t die. Sorry to disappoint you, but I''m very much alive. How about we make a bet? I''m sure I won''t die before you."


    Sebastian smirked. "Theodore, I won''t take that bet because I''ll live well. I want to grow old with Rose, watch our child grow up, and then hold our grandchild."N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    "That''s exactly what I wanted to say to you." Theodore stepped forward, the two of them standing very close together. The air was thick with tension. "Sebastian, you can have Rosalie. I don''t want her anyway since I already have another woman. You certainly had reason to be smug about thest time she picked you, but I''m thankful she made that choice. I could see things clearly and meet a woman I truly care for."


    After saying this, Theodore turned to leave.


    Sebastian narrowed his eyes, a glimmer of danger shing in his gaze.


    He couldn''t ept that Theodore could so casually let go of everything. Whether Theodore was being truthful or not, Sebastian couldn''t take it.


    Theodore should suffer his entire life.


    Sebastian turned to say, "Theodore, you''re pitiful. You''re the most pitiful man I''ve ever met. Apart from making threats, what else can you do? When our child grows up, I''ll tell him that his mother once loved a man who was so despicable and ipetent."


    Theodore clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles cracking.


    Suddenly, he turned around and lunged at Sebastian, punching thetter''s face.


    Inside the restaurant, Aurora sat


    across from Rosalie. Not long after Theodore left, Aurora hade over saying she needed to talk to Rosalie.


    She stared at Rosalie, her gaze nk, as if she had lost focus.


    "Miss Payne, what do you want to say?" Rosalie asked.


    "You and your husband look very well matched. He loves you very much."


    Rosalie furrowed her brow, "So what? What does that have to do with you?"


    "What I mean is that it makes me feel at ease. I was worried that you hated him." Rosalie''s frown deepened. "Hate him? Did he tell you that?"


    "He didn''t tell me." A flicker of pain


    suddenly crossed Aurora''s eyes


    "Miss Young, I beg you, let Theodore go. Please don''t hurt him anymore, okay?"


    "Miss Payne, I don''t understand what you''re saying."


    "No, you do. You know very well how Theodore got hurt."


    Hearing this, Rosalie felt a pang in her heart. She avoided Aurora''s gaze, and lowered her head to look at Steve.


    Aurora continued, "He was seriously


    injured at that time. I happened to pass by and saved him. Otherwise, he would have died there. He bled a lot


    Rosalie''s body began to tremble, and she raised her head. Her eyes were filled with tears as she asked, "You saved him?" "Yes," Aurora said. "At that time, he was so cold. I thought he was dead, but unexpectedly, he was still alive."
