Could her interactions with Theodore in the past three months have changed her? Sebastian was aware of what Rosalie had been doing in Melrine. She frequently had meals with Theodore. However, they did nothing beyond dining together-otherwise, Sebastian would have exploded with anger long ago.
Even so, just the thought of the two of them sharing meals was enough to bother him. He had been stewing in frustration back home.
However, he couldn't go to Melrine. He was currently wanted there. Theodore certainly didn't hold back.
"Sebastian, thank you for taking care of Steve while I was away." "There's no need for such formalities. He's my child too," Sebastian replied. "He's been crying non-stop. Lethold him for a bit." Sebastian reached out to take the child, but Rosalie took a step back. "No, I'll hold him myself. You've been taking care of him all this time, and now he's estranged from me, his mother. From now on, I'll take care of him." Sebastian smiled faintly. "Of course, that's fine. But right now, he's crying so hard. Letsoothe him. He probably needs a diaper change. I can do it."

The thought of Rosalie's return filled Sebastian's heart with joy.
"Rose," he said, taking her hand, "I've missed you so much. You're finally back. Let's go out for dinner tonight. What do you feel like eating? I'll-" "Sebastian Rosalie interrupted, pulling her hand away. "Why would you think I can't take care of my own child? Do you think only you're capable of taking care of him?" en.kikistories UMS Sebastian gave an awkward smile. "Rose, that's not what I meant. I just meant that you've worked so hard." Sebastian was stunned by her cold words. "Rose, what do you mean by this? I'm his father too. I'm responsible for taking care of him too." "That responsibility is mine alone. I gave birth to him. I'm his biological parent. You're not," Rosalie said, her voice raised slightly. The moment she finished speaking, Steve seemed startled and began wailing loudly.
