Rosalie asked this on purpose as she wanted to hear Sebastian's response. Had he truly returned to the country out of guilt, or was everything just a coincidence and the company issues had truly forced him back? "Actually, Rose," Sebastian said, "after I cback, I realized the situation is worse than I thought, so I won't be going to Melrine anytsoon. I just can't find the time." "I see." Rosalie lowered her gaze, a little disappointed.
It just so happened that he returned to the country now, but it seemed that he also didn't dare to cback to Melrine. Was he really avoiding the authorities? But who had tipped Sebastian off? Could Sebastian have planted someone around Theodore? Who could it be? Rosalie forced a smile. "Alright then, I hope you sort out the company's matters at home. Don't worry about things here in Melrine. I'll cback as soon as I finish my studies." "Okay. Rose, why don't you talk to Steve for a bit?" Rosalie looked at the child on the screen, her eyes filling with tears. Her heart ached with both love and sorrow. "I'm sorry I can't be by your side right now, Steve. When I cback, I'll never leave you again." Steve seemed to understand Rosalie's words. His little hands reached out into the air, as though trying to grasp something. Rosalie nearly broke into tears. "I'm sorry, Steve. I'm so sorry." "Rose, why are you apologizing? This isn't your fault. Don't worry too much. He's still small and doesn't know much. He has me, his biological father, by his side. I'll take good care of him. Don't you trust me?" Sebastian said.

The words "biological father" were probably deliberately used by Sebastian. He really did love the child as though Steve were his own-but in the end, this wasn't his child.
She didn't dare say "I trust you" like she did before.
There were so many things Rosalie wanted to ask Sebastian, but since Steve was with him, she didn't dare. It had to wait until she returned to the country.
For now, Rosalie didn't dare to act recklessly. It was safer to keep things as they were.
"Rose, our Steve is really smart.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJeline When you talk to him, he seems to understand. I think in a few months, he'll be able to speak. But don't worry make sure he calls you 'Mommy' first, then 'Daddy,' because Mommy went through a lot to give birth to him." Content belongs to en.kikistoriesRosalie clenched her teeth and nodded. "Thank you." "Why are you thanking me? We're husband and wife. There's no need for such formalities." Rosalie caught sight of Theodore from the corner of her eyes. He was still sitting there, seemingly motionless.
She didn't dare to turn and look at Theodore worried that Sebastian might notice. If Sebastian found out Theodore was in her ward, whe knew what kind of trouble it might cause? Content belongs to en.kikistories"Rose, I just wanted to check in and let you know I'm safe. It's getting late. You should rest." Rosalie nodded. "Alright, you should rest too. I know you're busy with the company, but don't overwork yourself." "I'll make sure to rest," Sebastian replied. "After all, I have to take care of Steve, I won't neglect myself.
When you cback, darling, we'll be a family of three and we'llnever be apart again." Content belongs to en.kikistoriesSebastian's voice was particularly gentle. When he looked into the camera again, it felt as though he was right in front of Rosalie rather than halfway across the world.
The words "family of three" felt heavy in Rosalie's heart.
To Theodore, it was almost suffocating.
