Chapter 126
His hand slid down her arm to her fingers, as sweat gradually beaded on his forehead.
Rosalie broke free of his hold, and held her hand to his forehead.
Upon realizing that his forehead was warm to the touch, she felt his cheeks and neck too.
She immediately stood up and said, “No, we have to head to the hospital right now. You’re having a fever!”
Rosalie stood up, but suddenly felt him hug her tight from the back.
Theodore lifted her entire body, and spun it around before throwing her on the bed. He pressed her body down on hers, leaving no space. for escape whatsoever.
His body felt like a huge mountain pressing down against her, making. her feel out of breath. The key in her hand slid down the bed. She raised her hand to press it against his solid chest, which felt searing hot to the touch.
She swallowed past her constricted throat, the look in her eyes tense as her body began trembling. “What are you doing?!”
Out of fright from his sudden movement, she almost forgot what she was supposed to do. She didn’t even realize that the key had fallen out of her hand.
“Rose… We’re still husband and wife, right?”
Theodore’s hoarse voice felt like fire as his huge palm caressed her cheek. She could feel the calluses on his hand.
“We are, but I…” she sputtered.
“Shh…
He rested his finger on her tender lips and leaned closer to her, at wicked look glinting in his eyes.

“Theodore Spencer, I am truly very confused. You’re the one who’s eager to file for a divorce and be with Cynthia! But now, I’m the one who’s doing everything while you’re so passive. I found the box and stole the key, just like a thief would. And you have the gall to chide me for being enthusiastic? Do you want a divorce or not?”
Theodore’s solid chest heaved, as if something was on the verge of explosion inside him. He clenched the sheets by her ears, a fire burning in his eyes.
He gritted his teeth; after a long while, finally got up from her.
Rosalie heaved a sigh of relief, and sat up on the bed too.
