Theodore gently stroked her long hair.
A familiar scene flashed past his mind.
Rosalie spent many mornings lying coyly in his arms just like this. He gently caressed her cheeks and long hair, and kissed her all over.
Aurora lay in his arms like a lazy kitten enjoying the caress of its owner.
She smiled; her delicate hands couldn't help but rub against his hard chest. She looked up and asked, "Theo, are you alright?"
Theodore shook his head very honestly. He didn't lie and say that he was fine just to reassure her.
Aurora gently caressed the wounds on his body, her heart breaking. "Do your wounds still hurt?"
Theodore shook his head. "They don't. Don't worry."
"Theodore, let's go back."
She didn't want Theodore to stay here and continue wallowing in sorrow. They would return and stay as far away from this place as possible.
"Don't you want to travel around this country? We've only just arrived," Theodore said.
"It's alright. We can go traveling elsewhere."
She instinctively said "we", but regretted it when the words left her lips.
What right did she have to make plans for them as a unit?
Theodore had come to Melrine for his ex-wife, not for her. He surely wouldn't accompany her in her travels to other places.
"Let's stay here for a few more days. I can accompany you out for some fun. You came all the way here, can't go back just like this."
Aurora was pleased to hear what Theodore said, but a thought soon came to mind.
"If we stay here, will you…"
"It's fine." Theodore knew what she was concerned about. "I won't go find her. I'll just accompany you for the rest of the time. We'll head back once you've had your fill."
Aurora nodded, lying happily in his arms and hugging him tight.
She was so close to Theodore. To be able to hug him like this and sleep on the same bed as him was good enough. Even though they didn't have sex, she was convinced that it was only a matter of time.
Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore)
Another garbled story with lots of gibberish. Absolute rubbish. I got to chapter 26 and can't anymore...
Too many people involve.. sigh~ this is like the most angst novel i've read.....
I just wish one thing...that the writer will not bring too many unnecessary and unrealistic twists,too many misunderstanding,miscommunication that gives the reader the hint not to continue with the novel. In the long run, We lost our interest in this kind of unending plot....
Thanks for the update !...
