NovelEnglishSebastian clenched his fists. "What are you so smug about? It's just a text message, which only proves that Rose cares more aboutthan she does about you." "Of course she cares about you," Theodore said with a smile. "You're so weak right now, you need her to take care of you every day. It's utterly pathetic for a grown man. You can't even protect yourself and got yourself injured. You almost died, and now, you remember nothing. You need a woman to take care of you, to protect you, to stand in front of you and shield you from everything. It's a disgrace." "Theodore!" Sebastian charged forward, grabbing Theodore by the collar. "What are you gloating about? Rose toldthat you divorced her for another woman. You're nothing but a deadbeat ex-husband, and now that you can't have her, you're trying to provoke me. Lettell you-Rose is mine! She'll always be my woman. Every night, she sleeps in my arms. I'm the man who can hold her, not you. You'll never have that chance ever again!" Anger burned in Theodore's eyes. He wanted to punch Sebastian hard, but then he remembered the pleading look in Rosalie's eyes. He forcefully suppressed his rage. For Rosalie's sake, he couldn't act impulsively.
Theodore slowly relaxed his clenched fists. Grabbing Sebastian's wrist, he said, "Sebastian, I promised Rosalie I wouldn't bully you. In your current state, you're no match for me. I don't pick on the weak. Once you fully recover, I wouldn't mind having a proper fight with you." He flung Sebastian's hand away.

A sly glint flashed in Sebastian's eyes. He suddenly moved closer to Theodore and raised his hand, as if to strike. Theodore, quick to react, grabbed Sebastian's hand and said through gritted teeth, "Are you trying to hit me?" "What, are you afraid?" Sebastian intentionally provoked him.
Narrowing his eyes, Theodore replied, "I promised Rose I wouldn't harm you." He released Sebastian's hand, not wanting to escalate the conflict.
Suddenly, Sebastian staggered back several steps and fell to the ground with a loud thud. His head hit the wall hard.
A look of surprise flashed across Theodore's face. He had used sforce, but not enough to push him to the ground. He had merely flung his hand away, so how could this happen? In that instant, Theodore realized something. He heard hurried footsteps behind him, followed by an angry female voice.
"Theo, what are you doing?" Theodore turned around to see Rosalie marching toward him in aet fury. She stood before him, raised her hand, and struck him across the face hard.
