Chapter 525
She planned to tell Theodore that she had slowly come to terms with things, but at a later time.
Right now, she was still in a nominal marriage with Sebastian. The situation was messy with the three of them involved. Once Sebastian recovered, the divorce would be finalized, and the child would be here. She would talk about it then.
If Theodore knew that they had a child, he wouldn’t give up. Moreover, Sebastian couldn’t handle any more stress in his current situation. Theodore nodded. “If you don’t want to hear it, I won’t talk about it anymore. I won’t bring it up again.”
“Theo, actually, after what you told me today, I feel like you’ve grown up. You’ve started to consider things from other people’s perspectives. I take back the harsh words I said to you before.”
This was the most comforting thing Theodore had heard all day, and it soothed his wounded heart slightly.
“Yes, I was immature and foolish before, even blunt and stupid,” Theodore admitted.
Rosalie shook her head. “No. You’re excellent, but even excellent people have flaws. You were overthinking your emotions. When you’re the main character in a situation, it’s easy to get confused. Everyone has moments of losing control or saying the wrong things. It’s not too late for you to understand this now.”
“Is it not too late? I already lost you.” For him, losing her was the line.
Rosalie didn’t know how to respond to this. It was indeed too late.
“Rose, do you still think that I orchestrated the attack on Sebastian? Or the attack on the other man, who ended up donating his heart?”
He wanted to know the answer to these questions. He didn’t care if others misunderstood him, but he didn’t want Rosalie to misunderstand him.
Rosalie was silent for a few seconds.
Theodore became even more anxious. “Rose, do you…”
“Theo,” she interrupted, but didn’t answer directly. Instead, she said, “Do you remember when I first came to the Spencers?”
“Of course. You were eleven when Grandma brought you back. You were so small and bony. Your face was dirty and you had a lot of
little rabbit. You always kept your
injuries, You looked like a fri pet
head down, and your eyes were filled with fear.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Theodore’s gaze was filled with compassion as he recalled that time.
Rosalie nodded. “Yes, everything around me was so unfamiliar. I felt like I had entered a new world, a world that had nothing to do with me before.”
“Rose,” Theodore said seriously, “from that day on, you became part of the Spencers. No matter what happens between us in the future, you’ll always be a part of the family. No one can change that.”
Rosalie smiled, and continued, “At that time, you approached me very slowly. I was so scared that I clung tightly to Grandma. She squatted down and gently told me, ‘Rose, this is Theo. Don’t be afraid.””
“Although Grandma’s comfort
helped, I was still very scared. But since I had just arrived at the
Spencers, I told myself I had to be a good child, or Grandma would be unhappy. I didn’t want to be,
homeless again, so I mustered the courage to walk toward you.”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Theodore chuckled. “I remember. You were so scared. Every step you took toward me seemed like you were stepping toward a cliff. I didn’t dare to approach you becaused was afraid of scaring you. I could only stand still and wait for you to come over.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
