    Rosalie pushed him away. "Fine, I''ll sleep here. You should go to sleep, too."


    Theodore tucked her into bed before turning around and heading to the couch.


    The lights in the room were switched off.


    About two hourster, Rosalie heard the sounds of a baby crying. She was very sensitive to it, and her eyes flew open. She switched the lights on, wanting to leave the room to coax her baby.


    However, when her gazended on the couch, she found only a nket that was left lying on the ground. Theodore had disappeared.


    Where did he go?


    Rosalie rubbed her eyes, but she didn''t have time to look into things. She got out of bed, threw on a cardigan, and left the room.


    When she left the room, however, the cries stopped.


    Despite that, she walked to Steve''s room and saw the lights in his room switched on when she arrived. A gentle and soothing voice came from inside. "Darling, are you frightened, being all alone inside? Don''t worry, I''m here. Don''t be scared. If you see any baddies, I''ll chase them all away." Theodore was carrying Steve in his arms, standing by the cot and coaxing the baby back to sleep. He paced back and forth while speaking softly to Steve.


    Steve chuckled and cooed, which made Theodoreugh too.


    "Why are you so adorable? Just like your mother. Darling, don''t ever be like your dad when you grow up." Theodore caressed Steve''s little cheek. "Although you''re Sebastian''s child, you''re also Rose''s child. I''ll dote on you."


    He carefully nted a gentle kiss on Steve''s forehead, his action exceptionally tender.


    Rosalie stared nkly at him.


    Standing at the door, her legs felt


    rooted to the ground. She remained unmoving, not wanting to barge in and stop the moment. Instead, she


    stood at the door ande


    silently, her eyes turning red

    ''Theo'', she thought. ''He''s your baby, not Sebastian''s. You''re his father. Grandma said the baby looks like you. It wasn''t a passing remark-he really is your baby.''


    Rosalie bit her lip and lowered her head, silently wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes.


    Theodore thought Steve was Sebastian''s child, but that didn''t stop him from waking up in the middle of the night to coax him so gently and soothingly back to sleep.


    Theodore wasn''t a bad guy. She had always known that. However, no one was perfect and everyone had weaknesses of their own. That was so for her, too.


    Despite that, she still couldn''t bring herself to forgive Theodore for what he did to her previously. What''s more, he had Aurora right now. That''s why she thought things were impossible between them.Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    She didn''t know if she still loved Theodore right now. All she knew was that she didn''t want to be with Theodore, not even one bit.


    Rosalie didn''t interrupt the moment by walking into the room. Instead, she left quietly, giving Theodore and Steve some space. After returning to the room, shey on the bed but couldn''t sleep, staring nkly at the ceiling above her.

    After around half an hour, the door was carefully pushed open. Theodore came back and found the lights sti switched on. He didn''t- recall Switching the lights on when he left the room. He was very careful, tiptoeing and making sure he didn''t wake Rosalie up,


    Rosalie was still lying on the bed, looking as though she was sound asleep.


    Theodore was about to switch the lights off when Rosalie suddenly sat up on the bed.


    "You''re back."


    Theodore jumped back in shock. "Rose, when did you wake up? Did the baby''s cries wake you up?"
