Chapter 1031
Theodore gripped the magazine tightly in his hands, flipping through the pages. In truth, he didn't absorb a single word.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Rosalie felt like she was suffocating. She couldn't continue speaking to Sebastian. "Seb, I'll hang up now. I'm going to rest."
She was afraid that if she kept talking, she would lose control.
"Alright," Sebastian said, gently waving Steve's hand. "Steve, say goodbye to Mommy."
"Goodbye, darling." Rosalie waved at the camera.
Thinking about Steve made her heart ache deeply. This whole situation was just absurd. Steve's biological father was right next to her, but he could only remain invisible.
After a while, Rosalie ended the video call with Sebastian. She set her phone aside and covered her mouth, crying.
She was deeply upset. So many things had happened recently.
On one hand, Theodore suddenly appeared in Melrine with his pregnant girlfriend. On the other hand, there was Justin. And then, Sebastian had done something terrible and lied to her. Now, he had returned to their homeland with Steve.
Each incident was a terrible blow to Rosalie. When everything piled up together, it made her restless and uneasy. Her heart felt like it had been filled with cement, and it was unbearably heavy.
Seeing her cry, Theodore immediately came to her bedside. "What's wrong?"
Rosalie wiped her tears and shook her head. "It's nothing. I'm just...just a little worried about Steve."
"There's nothing to worry about. The child is with his father. Even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs," Theodore said.
Hearing his last sentence, Rosalie didn't know what to say.
Yet, she couldn't blame Theodore. After all, he didn't know Steve was his son. Given the situation between them, Rosalie dared not tell him the truth
now.
Would things have been different if she had told Theodore from the start? But at that time, Theodore had asked for a divorce for Cynthia's sake. Rosalie looked up and said, "Seb will take care of Steve. He just won't come to Melrine anytime soon."
"Well, I'd say he'll never come back to Melrine again."
Theodore had just heard Rosalie's conversation with Sebastian, and found his mental fortitude impressive. The man had pretended as if nothing had happened.
Rosalie sighed. "I'm going to sleep now."
Theodore didn't press on. "Then sleep well."
On the other end, after the phone call ended, Sebastian held Steve in his arms.
"Steve, your mommy's lying to me.
She's in the ward, but she didn't tell me. If I'm not mistaken, Theodore must be nearby, but she hasn't mentioned him once," Sebastian muttered.
"Steve, how could your mommy lie to me like this? I just came back to the country, and she couldn't wait to get together with Theodore.
"No, no, that's not it." Sebastian held
the child tighter. "It's definitely Theodore who's been bothering her.
No matter what, it's his fault. Your mommy didn't do anything wrong."

"Steve, don't worry. Daddy won't let another man take your mommy away. No matter what, we'll never be apart. Daddy is facing some

difficulties and can only stay in the country for now, but this matter will be resolved sooner or later
"Daddy is really foolish. Theodore has dirt on me, but next time, I'll be more careful."
