Chapter 129

She was pregnant right now, and her body probably wouldn’t be able to withstand sex right now.

Furthermore, sex wasn’t the only solution. There were many other ways she could help him..

Theodore pursed his lips, then opened them slightly as he breathed. hard. The hesitation and

reluctance in Rosalie’s eyes doused the fire. in his eyes.

Was she so unwilling to be intimate with him? She even requested for him not to go all the way.

Ultimately, she was unwilling to go to bed with him.

“No need. I don’t want to touch you,” he snapped.

Since she didn’t want him touching her, what was the point of forcing himself on her? He didn’t want

her feeling indignant about it, or even cry. It would only make him feel like a monster.

His refusal to touch her stunned Rosalie. She felt as though someone. had doused a bucket of cold

water over her head, chilling her bones. The cold she felt from falling into the water just now was

nothing. compared to the cold she felt right now.

Her face turned pale as she looked up at him in shock.

He had looked so eager to touch her moments ago, but now, he was refusing her so casually. His

eyes were filled with disgust and disdain. over the thought of touching her.

Rosalie anxiously covered herself with the sheets once more as awkwardness and embarrassment

filled her heart..

What a joke! She threw herself at a man, and ended up being rejected.

“You were the one who pressed me against the door and kissed me, insisting that we’re still

husband and wife and that we should be

doing what a married couple do. Now that I’m willing, you look so reluctant and disdainful.”

She gripped the sheets tighter in her hands, and bit out, “Sometimes, I really don’t know if it’s your

problem or mine. Or maybe, if the problem lies with the both of us.”

“Aren’t you unwilling to let me touch you?”

Theodore stood coldly by the bedside, his fists clenching by his side.

“You were the one who pushed me away. Isn’t my refusal to touch. you precisely what you wanted?

You even told me not to go all the way just now. At the end of the day, you just don’t want me

touching. you. In that case, what’s the point of me trying to do so?”

For a split second, her resentful expression made Theodore wonder if he was the one at fault. On

second thought, she was clearly the one who didn’t allow him to touch her.

She could help him in any way he liked, but he couldn’t go all the way

with her.

If she could bring herself to say that, how could he continue touching her? How did it become his

fault? Did she have any idea how much he was holding himself back?

“I…” Rosalie was filled with indignation, but she refused to tell him the

truth.

She couldn’t.

If she weren’t pregnant at such a critical moment, she wouldn’t refuse

him.

Rosalie looked down as tears fell from her eyes. She gripped the

sheets tightly, and buried herself deeper in them as she laid on the bed without even wearing the

sleeping gown.

Theodore looked at the indignant woman on the bed, frustration.

rising in his chest. He wasn’t frustrated with her, but by how things

turned out like this.

Rosalie heard Theodore’s footsteps and saw him getting dressed, looking as though he was

preparing to head out. He walked toward

the door.

“Where are you going?”

Why was he heading out at such a late hour?

“I’m leaving. Rest–well.”

He grabbed the door handle in a bid to leave.

If he keot staying in this room, he couldn’t guarantee that he could stop himself from doing anything.

It was better for him to make

himself scarce.

“Wait,” Rosalie called out to him.

Theodore turned to ask, “What else do you want?”

“We haven’t settled the issue with our resident register. We won’t be able to file for a divorce if you

leave right now,” she said.
