Chapter 1362
Rosalie hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Theo, I... I can't keep living here. Now that I'm with Justin, it wouldn't be appropriate."
"There's nothing inappropriate about both of you living here."
Theodore made the greatest concession possible, something even Rosalie hadn't expected him to say.
"Theo, thank you, but Justin and I will still move out. It wouldn't be right for us to stay."
Even if Theodore didn't mind, she and Justin did. She had chosen to be with Justin, and she knew Theodore must be heartbroken. If she and Justin stayed here, constantly appearing before him, there was bound to be conflict. Moving out was the better option.
"What about Steve, then? Are you planning to take him too? You said I'm his father are you going to take my child away from me?"
Theodore's emotions suddenly spiraled out of control, and his voice rose involuntarily.noveldrama
His fists clenched tightly against the couch, his entire body tense like a raging lion ready to pounce and subdue its prey.
Rosalie grew nervous and instinctively leaned closer to Justin.
Justin reacted immediately, wrapping an arm around her waist protectively.
"Theo, of course, I won't take Steve away. You are his parent, as am I. That's why I came here today to discuss how we can take care of him together."
Theodore's chest heaved violently as he struggled to suppress his rising fury. "Then tell me! What do you propose?"
Rosalie said calmly, "I want you to understand that Steve is your flesh and blood, and that will never change. He will always call you 'Dad.' Even though we're no longer
e
together, we can still give him both motherly and fatherly love."
"How can we do that if we're not together? Tell me, how?" Theodore's fists trembled.
"I think we can alternate every three months. For the first three months, he stays with you. Then, for the next three months, he stays with me. That way, we each get six months with him every year-equal time, no more, no less."
This was the fairest arrangement Rosalie could think of. Steve didn't belong to just one of them—he belonged to both. If either of them were to take full custody, it would be unfair to the other.
"So you're saying that Steve can only stay with either his father or his mother at any given time?"
"Theo, we can still take him out together. Just because we're no longer a couple doesn't mean we can't get along as friends. There are so many couples who stay together despite being unhappy, and they end up arguing all the time. Do you think their children are happy watching that?"
"You're saying we weren't happy together?" Theodore seemed to hear only that part, and it cut like a knife.
Rosalie lowered her gaze. "Theo, can we stop arguing about this? I'm with Justin now. Please, I'm begging you-let's just focus on discussing Steve's custody. I genuinely want to talk this through with you. I don't want to fight."
As she spoke, her voice wavered with emotion, and she looked as though she might break down in tears.

Justin immediately pulled her into his embrace comforting her. Then, he looked up at Theodore and said, "Mr. Spencer, I would never take Steve away from you. He will always be your son, and I am merely an uncle to him. Most importantly, I will take good care of Rose and never let her suffer. You're welcome to keep an eye on me."
