Chapter 184

[Why are you nervous? The child you’re carrying is his. Is he going to beat you? If he does, tell me!

I’ll teach him a lesson for you.]

[He won’t beat me. He’s not that kind of person.]

[Tsk! Look at you, rushing to defend him. But you can’t even tell him. about carrying his child.]

[I’m just nervous, you know? I don’t know how he’ll react.]

[No matter how he reacts, you have to tell him. If things don’t go well, pack your things and come

stay with me. What can he do? Anyway, you planned on raising the child alone from the start.]

[I’ll tell him when I find the time.]

[When will that be? You’ve wasted enough time already! Tell him tonight. I’ll prepare the bed. If he

doesn’t want the child or says

something unpleasant, come stay with me.]

Rosalie felt warm inside, knowing she had a support system behind her. Even though she didn’t

have parents and her aunt had left, having a loving grandmother and a friend like Stephanie made

her feel

content.

[Okay, I got it. I’ll tell him tonight.]

[Go for it, don’t chicken out.]

“What’s wrong?”

Theodore gently flipped her over, letting her lie on her back in bed. He leaned over her, but didn’t

fully press his weight on her and kept some distance.

“Is there something you want to tell me?”

Staring up at him, Rosalie felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat. They were

into steeds

“Are you feeling shy? He pinched her flushed cheeks gently. It’s not like we haven’t done this

Staring at her crimson cheeks and captivating eyes, his Adam’s apple tubbed up and down and his

breath gradually quickening A tilaping Tre filed his eyes as if eager to igre a pile of any tinder
