Rosalie returned to the next room, took a shower. After getting back into bed, she glanced at her phone and saw she had a message. It was from Yerick. [Rose, are you asleep yet?]
Rosalie replied, [I’m just about to go to sleep. Is something up?]
[Not really, just wanted to say goodnight and let you know that I’ve joined a new R&D team recently.]
Rosalie responded, [That’s great! Congratulations!]
[Rose, I really want to take you out for a meal, but there’s never been a good time. How’s your husband doing?]
Rosalie wrote back, [He’s out of the hospital now and recovering well.]
Yerick replied, [That’s good to hear. You’ve gone through a lot, Rose. Make sure to get some rest.]
Rosalie smiled. [It’s fine. No matter how tough things get, it’s worth it. The storm has finally passed.] [Yes, the storm has passed. Let’s hope there are no more storms; they’re so annoying!] Yerick joked. Rosalie wrote, [Yes, but life is full of ups and downs. Let’s focus on handling the present and cherish the people who care about us.] [Absolutely, Rose. I agree completely. I also care a lot about you, because you’re the one who cares most about me in this world.] Rosalie smiled slightly. [Yerry, one day you’ll meet someone who cares about you, and you’ll care about her too.]
Yerick was silent for a long time before replying, [I hope it turns out that way. For now, I’m focusing on you, because you’re the best.] Rosalie sighed with a smile. [It’s late. Let’s both get some sleep.]
Yerick replied, [Okay, goodnight.]
After Rosalie lay down, her mind was swirling with thoughts.
She lay on her back, gently caressing her belly. Baby, what should do? Should I just take it day by day, or should I take the initiative? It feels like no matter what I do, things always end up going badly.
Thinking about the past events, Rosalie closed her eyes wearily.
She was exhausted, and she figured she just needed to sleep. Maybe after a good night’s rest, things would be better, or at least she’d be able to forget them for a while.
Three days after Sebastian’s discharge, Cynthia was released. She received a message from Theodore, saying he would come to visit her today.
It had been a long time since
Theodore had visited her. He had
claimed to be on a business trip, but
Cynthia was a bit skeptical.
However, she had no choice but to frequently text him to check in.
Theodore would either ignore her, or take a long time to reply.
Today, with Theodore saying he’d come to see her, Cynthia was thrilled She had someone do her makeup and put on the wedding dress Theodore had given her. She could finally wear it.
The wedding dress had been kept in a box Theodore had gifted her. For some reason, he later had the box taken away, but Cynthia had insisted it be left behind.
Wearing the wedding dress, Cynthia sat on her bed, counting the minutes.
When the door opened and Theodore walked in, Cynthia rushed over and hugged him.
“Theo!”
The sudden move startled Theodore. His body stiffened, and he gently pushed her away, placing his hands on her shoulders.
He looked Cynthia up and down. Seeing her in the wedding dress, he frowned.
Why are you wearing that?
