Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore)
Chapter 522

"Every time I get angry, it leads to serious consequences because I'll come after you, interrogating you with righteous indignation, making you angry, making you cry, and even hurting you, as if I were the victim. But all of this was self-inflicted. I'm the one who divorced you for another woman, who abandoned my wife for the promises made to another woman. Why should I blame you for being close to Sebastian?" Theodore went on.

"Even if you're close to him, so what? It's my fault I lost you. You met a man who was gentle and caring, who stayed with you when you were in pain and protected you. Naturally, you'd be touched. Rose, tell me. Did Sebastian's dedication move you so much that you transitioned from being ordinary friends to best friends who would go to great lengths for each other?" Rosalie was silent for a moment before nodding. "Yes, he moved me deeply."

Her heart wasn't made of stone, so she could feel Sebastian's kindness. While she didn't feel romantic love for him, love came in other forms: love for family, love for partners, and love for friends. These were all love.

"Yes, moved. What a beautiful word. At first, I was angry because you told me you were just friends, but I didn't believe it. I always felt there was something more between you and him. It wasn't until later that I realized I was the problem."

"You're the kind of person who will repay someone's compassion tenfold. So, you treat Sebastian very well. You care for him, take care of him, and help him. All of this is because Sebastian took care of you the same way before. When you were hurt by me, it was him who was there to protect you. I created those conditions for him, but in the end, I blamed you both."

"I was narrow-minded and foolish. I thought that if you and him were just friends, you shouldn't be so close to him. Men and women should keep their distance from each other in this circumstance.

"But a few days ago, I watched a movie about family, friendship, and love. In the film, there was a deep friendship between a man and a woman. As the man lay dying, his friend gently stroked his face, kissed his forehead, and told him 'I love you' while crying. His friend's husband was also there, holding the man's hand without any jealousy, not feeling that such words or intimate gestures were inappropriate.

"After the movie ended, I suddenly thought of many things and felt enlightened. Friends aren't as simple as I thought. There are many types of friends: acquaintances, ordinary friends, close friends, and best friends."

"I don't know what level you and Sebastian have reached, but I'm sure you're no longer ordinary friends. Ordinary friends wouldn't make such sacrifices for each other. Only close friends or friends who have gone through adversity with you would do that."

Theodore continued, "Ordinary friends might just check in on you when you're sick, but best friends will stay up all night to care for you. Ordinary friends might just let you rant and have a meal with you when you're hurt by a scumbag, but best friends will fight alongside you against the scumbag."
