Seeing Rosalie's wary expression, Theodore scoffed. "Are you afraid I'll press you against the wall and kiss you? Then you shouldn't have calledhere." Rosalie lowered her gaze. "I hope you don't do such things here." "Not here?" Theodore smirked. "You mean I can do it somewhere else?" Rosalie frowned. "Stop joking. Let's go out." Considering what he had done before, she knew he was capable of such actions. More importantly, she had texted him to chere. If he really did kiss her, it would be hard for her to defend herself. "I have a question for you." "What?" Rosalie asked.

When was your last check-up?" Rosalie felt a stab of pain in her heart. "Didn't you takefor a check-up before our divorce? You already know everything, didn't you?" Fortunately, Stephanie had helped her. Otherwise, she would have been exposed.
"You weren't feeling well, and the doctor said you had food poisoning. It wasn't a thorough check-up. I'm talking about a comprehensive examination," Theodore pressed.
At the mention of a comprehensive examination, Rosalie instinctively felt uneasy. "What does it have to do with you? We're..." "I know we're divorced," he interrupted. "But can't an ex-husband show sconcern for his ex-wife if she doesn't look well? Is there any law or moral code that forbids that?" Rosalie tried to remain calm. "Thank you for your concern, but I'm fine. I know my body better than you do. I care more about myself than anyone else." "Really? You don't look it." Theodore brushed his finger against her face gently.
Rosalie instinctively pulled back.

Lettake you for a comprehensive check-up when you're free. Please, promise me?" Theodore's voice was hoarse, and his tone was exceptionally gentle. It was almost seductive. His voice was as soothing as a late-night rahost, making her legs feel weak.
Rosalie clenched her fists nervously.
"Why should I promise you? Whether I get a check-up or not is my business. Even if someone accompanies me, it should be my husband, not my ex-husband." "Can your husband take you right now? He's lying in a hospital bed, unable to get up. Or I could ask him if I can take you." "No!" Rosalie yelled anxiously. "You can't go to him! Stop disturbing him!"
Her breathing becrapid after saying this. She was genuinely worried about Sebastian. She 3 m wouldn't be able to hide it even if she wanted to. It was as if she feared Theodore might harm him.
Every time, Theodore saw how much Rosalie cared for Sebastian, a knife bitten t jan, a knife seemed to be stabbing his heart. He smiled bitterly. "Do you think I want to harm him again because didn't succeed last time?"
Rosalie didn't know how to respond. She didn't want Theodore and m Sebastian to meet again, since they would fight every single time. "Sebastian is already in this state. Please, don't hurt him." "Begging me?" Theodore's smile grew more bitter. "You're actually begging me. What do you think I'll do to him?"
