Chapter 1440
Rosalie wondered if the baby would look more like her or Justin.
Looking up at the azure blue sky and the white clouds floating in it, she could almost see Justin looking and smiling back at her.
Steve raised his hand and caressed her face. She looked at him and smiled, and caressed his head. "Stevie, Mommy will always love you."
She kissed his forehead gently, and he hugged her gleefully.
Just then, a voice sounded from behind. "What are you two talking about?"
Rosalie turned around to see Theodore walking toward them. He was wearing a suit, looking smart, a tender look on his face as he stood next to the mother-and- son pair.
"Nothing much, just getting some sun. We should head in soon," Rosalie said as she stood up with Steve in her arms.
Theodore took over Steve with one hand and pulled Rosalie up with another.
"Let's head in together."
He held Rosalie's hand and didn't let go. She didn't shake his hand off and nodded, letting him hold her hand.
They walked into the villa.
Just then, a servant rushed toward Rosalie and Theodore. In her panic, Rosalie shook off Theodore's hand, stood in front of him, and yelled at the servant, "What are you doing?"
The servant jumped back in fright and took a few steps back. "I...I have something to talk about to Mr. Spencer."
Rosalie's guards were up, as if worried that the servant would hurt Theodore.
Theodore held Rosalie's shoulders. "Rose, she's a servant in the house and has served me many years. She's not a bad person."
Rosalie wiped the sweat from her forehead. "I'm sorry. Let me go get some water."
She felt like she was overreacting, thinking that the servant was going to hurt Theodore and her son when she came running toward them.
When Rosalie walked a distance away, she saw the servant saying something to Theodore and then leaving after he gave her a nod.
Theodore walked back to Rosalie. "She said something urgent cropped up at home and asked for a few days' leave."
Rosalie nodded. "I see."
"Rose, don't worry. Everyone here has undergone strict background checks. Nothing will happen. What's more, both Yerick and Sebastian are dead. Geoffrey is in jail. He'll never get a chance to come out. Everything that could possibly hurt us is gone."
"Is that really so?" Rosalie looked up at him with blurry eyes. "I thought everything
had ended when I was about to marry Justin, but....."
The mention of Justin made tears well up in Rosalie's eyes again.
"I'm sorry, I want to be alone for a while."
Rosalie ran upstairs.

she?"
He could understand how Rosalie was feeling right now. Although the pregnancy gave her some hope and helped her on her road to recovery, she was still often frightened, worried that he and Steve might be in trouble.
The incident today had happened many times before.
Theodore's brows were tightly knit, looking troubled.
"Steve, Mommy will get better. We'll stay by her side and make sure of that."
