Chapter 52 +25 BONUS "Grandma even said you'd be a good father! Hah! What a joke! Theodore, you wouldn't be a good father! It's a good thing I didn't get pregnant with your child. That would've been a tragedy!" Completely agitated, Rosalie's emotions were running high. As tears streamed down her face, she felt Theodore's hand slowly loosen from her shoulder, and he eventually weakly backed away from her. Rosalie wiped away the tears from her face, smiling bitterly. "Since you and Cynthia love each other so much, why didn't you tellfrom the start? Oh, I know why. You thought tellingwouldn't make a difference, so you planned it all from the beginning. From start to finish, I've been played for a fool by you." Theodore remained unusually silent.
Rosalie didn't remember if he had ever been this silent before. He couldn't find any words to refute the woman before him.
A pang of pain shot through Rosalie's heart as she continued, "Bringthe divorce papers already. I don't want anything, not the house, nor the property.

"Do you even realize I'm your wife?!" Rosalie brought the conversation back around. "Don't you have a greater responsibility to your wife?" "Don't I take enough responsibility for you? I've given you everything over this past year, and after the divorce, I'll still provide you with ample wealth. What more do you want? A child? Sorry, I can't give you that!" Theodore's last few words tore Rosalie's heart in two.
Yes, he wouldn't give her a child. But despite taking precautions every tthey were intimate, she had still gotten pregnant. After all, there was no hundred percent guarantee when using contraception. That was why she wanted to keep the child. To her, it was a gift from the heavens.
She had thought revealing her pregnancy would only bring trouble to Theodore, that he would be conflicted. But now, thinking about it,
