Chapter 126

His hand slid down her arm to her fingers, as sweat gradually beaded on his forehead.

Rosalie broke free of his hold, and held her hand to his forehead.

Upon realizing that his forehead was warm to the touch, she felt his cheeks and neck too.

She immediately stood up and said, “No, we have to head to the hospital right now. You’re having a

fever!”

Rosalie stood up, but suddenly felt him hug her tight from the back.

Theodore lifted her entire body, and spun it around before throwing her on the bed. He pressed her

body down on hers, leaving no space. for escape whatsoever.

His body felt like a huge mountain pressing down against her, making. her feel out of breath. The

key in her hand slid down the bed. She raised her hand to press it against his solid chest, which felt

searing hot to the touch.

She swallowed past her constricted throat, the look in her eyes tense as her body began trembling.

“What are you doing?!”

Out of fright from his sudden movement, she almost forgot what she was supposed to do. She

didn’t even realize that the key had fallen out of her hand.

“Rose… We’re still husband and wife, right?”

Theodore’s hoarse voice felt like fire as his huge palm caressed her cheek. She could feel the

calluses on his hand.

“We are, but I…” she sputtered.

“Shh…

He rested his finger on her tender lips and leaned closer to her, at wicked look glinting in his eyes.

“Since we are husband and wife, shall we do what married couples do

in bed?”

“N–No way!” Rosalie started to panic, as her brain started buzzing at

his words.

She suddenly thought of something, and felt around the bedside.

She found the key, and waved it in front of him as she said, “I’ve stolen the key. I’ll sneak the box in

here after Grandma is asleep, and we’ll open it to take our resident register so we can file for a

divorce.

tomorrow.”

They had only one night left before they were officially divorced.

Things would become messy if they added sex into the picture before that happened.

The panicked look on Rosalie’s face made Theodore’s face darken. with displeasure. The anxiety

written all over her face made it clear. that she didn’t want his touch.

“You’re quite enthusiastic. All you can think about is the resident. register.”

His breath felt warm, but his words were dripping with sarcasm.

Rosalie’s anger rose from his words,

“Theodore Spencer, I am truly very confused. You’re the one who’s eager to file for a divorce and be

with Cynthia! But now, I’m the one who’s doing everything while you’re so passive. I found the box

and stole the key, just like a thief would. And you have the gall to chide me for being enthusiastic?

Do you want a divorce or not?”

Theodore’s solid chest heaved, as if something was on the verge of explosion inside him. He

clenched the sheets by her ears, a fire burning in his eyes.

He gritted his teeth; after a long while, finally got up from her.

Rosalie heaved a sigh of relief, and sat up on the bed too.

She was about to speak when she looked down, noticed something and blushed. Immediately, she

looked away, her breath catching in her throat. “You…”

Realizing that she had noticed something, Theodore decided that there was no point in hiding

things and said, “The soup Grandma ordered the kitchen to prepare is very…nourishing. Men’s

urges are easily aroused with that soup.”

“What?!”

te Was

surprised by his revelation.

No wonder Grandma didn’t allow her to drink too much of it, while

letting Theodore have lots more! She found it odd at that time, but now, it made sense.
