NovelEnglishTheodore avoided her gaze. "I don't want to treat you as a substitute. It's not fair to you. Even if I use you to relieve the torment in my heart, once Rose returns, I would abandon you without mercy." "Then what if..." Aurora's voice was hoarse as she spoke. "What if I'm willing to be that substitute? What if I want to give it a try?" She really wanted to try. Even if she started off as a substitute, the woman he loved had already married another man. There was no longer any possibility between them.
She still had a chance to be the real thing. Everything would work out if she could make this man fall in love with her.

"Can you lettry? I don't mind if you seeas her, just as long as you don't call her nin front of me." Aurora had never thought she could compromise this much. In front of the man she loved, she had even given up her dignity. She had never done anything like this for a man before.
Theodore sighed helplessly. "How can you be so foolish? We barely know each other. What's so good about me?" "I don't know what's so good about you, either. You say such hurtful things and you're so cold, but I can't help it. Feelings are hard to control, just like how you can't control your love for your ex-wife even though she's married to another man. I can't control my feelings for you, either, even though you still love your ex-wife." Looking at Aurora's tear-filled eyes, Theodore felt a heavy weight on his chest. He felt uneasy, and Rosalie cto his mind again.
She had shed so many tears for him.
He reached out and gently wiped the tears from Aurora's face. "Don't cry. It hurts me, Rose." When Theodore reached out to wipe her tears away, Aurora was overjoyed. She felt like she had glimpsed a ray of hope-but the words "Rose" shattered her fantasy.
She pushed his hand away in shock. "What did you call me?" Seeing her intense reaction, Theodore coldly replied, "This is the result of being a substitute. You can't even standcalling out Rose's nonce. How do you O expect to tolerate being her substitute?" Aurora finally understood. He had done it on purpose. He was deliberately provoking her, making it unbearable for her.

How can I not call out her name? Even in bed, I would call out her name. In fact, I'd have to stick her photo on your face, or else I wouldn't be able to sleep with you. That's just how I am with other women."
Theodore deliberately acted like a shameless bastard. He was m intentionally provoking Aurora, trying to make her realize he wasn't a good person so she wouldn't continue to like him. After all, it was better to end it
quickly than to drag it out. Rather than keeping her around as a substitute and ultimately being m upable to accept her, it was better to have her face the harsh reality from the beginning. That way, neither of them would waste any time. "You've gone too far!" Aurora raised her hand to slap him.
Theodore grabbed her wrist and shouted fiercely, "You think you can hit me?"
He threw her hand aside harshly.
"The only one in this world who can hitis Rose! You're not worthy!"
