The Substitute Bride Is Reborn and Loves Her Husband No more - Chapter 27

Chapter 27: He put cameras at her house

Rose had decided she didn’t want to wait for Tobi’s decision. She too was getting scared and might need the little midnight snack, so she held Tobi’s small hand, then carried him as her feet stepped on the cold floor getting off the bed. Tobi clung to her shoulders a little tighter as she carried him. Rose looked at him and then sighed. She walked to the door, looking back at the door, then she locked it, closing it shut.

At the kitchen, Rose placed Tobi on the counter and went to the other counter to peel some potatoes. She’d rather make homemade food than have her baby eat something overnight that could disturb his stomach.

As she peeled the potatoes, she couldn’t help but turn to Tobi, who was on the counter, and asked him, “Honey, did you really sense something?”

Tobi nodded at her question freely, even though her tone was serious.

Quack, Rose’s eyes widened, but she quickly kept her expression calm, not wanting to scare herself.

For such a long time, she had been trying to fool herself that it was not true. Those things wouldn’t come to her house, but now she might be wrong.

“Honey, here, let’s eat.” Tobi turned his head toward her voice. She was done peeling the potatoes, and she had fried them. She had made fried potatoes because boiled potatoes were choking hazards if there wasn’t enough water, and even though there was enough water, a child like Tobi could easily choke on them.

“Mummy, thanks for the potatoes.” Tobi’s voice came out slow, turning and looking at her as he expressed his gratitude. He was munching on his potatoes, his cheeks looking puffy.

Rose also munched on her own meal, looking at him, stopping herself from laughing at how cute he looked right now.

Tobi ate his food silently, without knowing that she was looking at him. His mummy’s food tasted delicious.

…

Rolan sat in his chair. His eyes were fixed on the desktop in front of him.

His gaze was so focused, like he was watching the greatest movie made in history. On the screen, there was a blonde-haired woman and a kid in the room.

It was none other than Rose.

“Rose,” Rolan’s eyes narrowed, shifting with different emotions. She had left him for years. He was not sure that she would not leave him now again.

He wouldn’t let her go, even if she had wanted to go away from him once more.

The time when he had forced himself into her house, they weren’t for nothing; he had been preparing.

He was well-prepared just so he could carry out his investigation and insert CCTV footage into her house.

Had he done all this, those times when he teased her in the house, making her head turn confused, gave him much time to turn around and play with her head.

The door made a clicking sound, and the door opened. A man with dark hair, in a black outfit like a butler’s wear, walked in.

“Master, it’s time to go to bed. Don’t sit down late hours on your computer.”

Rolan raised his head slightly, turning to his butler. “It’s not given yet. They are not asleep yet. I’ll wait till they are done eating their midnight snack.”

His voice was low, slightly hoarse, as he said it, turning his head back to the screen. He did not care about anything else that Alfred might say. Alfred was a stubborn man; at times, he wondered who was the Alpha between the two of them.

“Tsk. Master, Luna Rose is back, and you seem to love her. I don’t know why you are still with her sister. What are you still doing with Jennifer? I feel like it is because of Jennifer that Luna Rose had left. If you want to get back together with her, I think what’s best is for you to cut ties with Jennifer.”

Rolan bit his lip, furrowing his brow as Alfred’s words got to his ears. He clenched his fist. He had really, in his heart, wanted to move his lips and say that yes, he would keep a distance from Jennifer. But he didn’t know why he couldn’t bring himself to say such words. At the end of the day, he only furrowed his brow and ignored Alfred’s words. He heard Alfred sighing as if he had wanted to close the door.

Before Alfred could leave, a thought crossed his mind, and he called out to Alfred without knowing it.

“Can you stop for a sec?”

Alfred paused his action of walking out as he heard him call.

“What is it, Master?” Alfred walked back.

“That information… do it again. That child with Rose, find out who’s the father and who it belongs to.”

Alfred wanted to say something in the middle of his words but stopped himself. He only said later, “Master, we have done all searches. That kid is not yours, and even if it was fine, the Luna Rose I’m across with is from another man.”

“Impotence!” Rolan’s brow furrowed, and he threw the mouse that was on the desk, causing it to hit the floor, then bounce back and hit the floor again, breaking into many pieces.

He did not like the sound of that.

Those words—he did not want to hear them. If Rose had a child, it should be with him and not someone else. She possibly couldn’t have a child with someone else. She had claimed to marry him, loved him so much; she wouldn’t do anything to hurt him. She wouldn’t betray him by being with another man. They hadn’t even gotten a proper divorce, and yet…

Rolan’s eyes trembled, and he did not want to believe it.

Alfred pursed his lips, watching him spiral out with insanity.

Yes, it was as if his master had gone crazy. His master had gone mad all these years after Luna Rose had left him without saying a word.

No one could calm his master down, stop him from being violent or harming himself.

“I don’t care about anything. I want Rose,” Rolan muttered, burying his head on the desk, his powerful, veiny hand with a python tattoo covering his eyes.

His attention was no longer on the footage playing on his screen. It was as if his heart was burning.

He felt something burning inside him, as if flames were evoking inside him.

“Maids, get the master’s pills!” Alfred’s voice echoed in the room, his expression panicked.
