Was She Planning To Leave Me
**Soren’s POV
Striding up to Rosalie’s home, I knocked twice and smiled. When I saw it was Seraphine who opened the door, I was quite disappointed.
I had been expecting Rosalie, but knowing her, she was probably busy preparing dinner as she usually did this time of day.
“Afternoon, Seraphine. Where’s Rosalie?” | inquired, stepping into the house and peering around for Rosalie’s beautiful face.
“She is resting in her bedroom,” Seraphine replied as she took the flowers from my hand and put them in a vase.
My eyes swept over to her in confusion. It wasn’t like Rosalie to be lying down at this time of the day.
“Is she not feeling well?” I inquired with apprehension.
The last few days, she had not seemed like herself, understandably, but it didn’t mean that I shouldn’t worry.
Seraphine didn’t seem to be too concerned. “She will get more tired as we are approaching her due date. It’s emotionally draining, and women tend to get anxious or upset over little things.”
“Like what?” I followed Seraphine towards the kitchen.
I was looking forward to the dinner conversation with Rosalie, so the more I knew about her day, the easier it would be for me to keep her engaged. “You said she was upset?”
If Rosalie was upset by something, that something would only possibly be Ethan or me.
I frowned. While I did understand it would take me time to have her accept me into her life in the way I wanted, I didn’t like that she would be upset because of something I had done, whatever that reason might be.
Seraphine’s eyes looked towards the hallway that led to Rosalie’s room, and then turned back to me. “It has something to do with money,” she replied casually, “but I don’t know all the details.”
That wasn’t quite expected. Seraphine shrugged, “Don’t look at me. I was surprised too, but I wouldn’t overthink it. You can’t reason with hormones.”
Seraphine walked away, and I returned to my room to get changed.
However, I just didn’t feel right about the situation. I’d rather overthink it than miss any details.
I wanted to tell Rosalie she didn’t need to worry about money when I had enough for the both of us. However, I knew she wanted to be independent, and I’d love to let her live the way she wanted.
As long as she was with me.
She wanted money. she wanted to be independent…
Was she planning to leave me? Otherwise, why would she need more money?
I narrowed my eyes.
I unfolded it and pulled out a howling wolf made from paper.
The short note said, “Wish you and your wolf a speedy recovery!”
My fingers gently brushed over her writing, and I felt my internal battle of uncertainty calm like a passing storm.
She was here, with me, still treating me like a friend, and trying to make me happy. Plus, she was heavily pregnant, and
before long, she would have the baby. A baby that I would father myself.
I felt confident that there was no way that Rosalie would leave me for Ethan.
The desire to see her grew strong. I rushed over to her room and knocked on the door.
However, I regretted it immediately.
If she was resting, I should let her rest.
I heard slow movement behind the door, and as it opened, her sleepy face glanced up at me in surprise.
“Soren?” Her eyes turned back towards the clock on her wall before she looked back at me wide-eyed. “Oh, I’m so sorry. I slept longer than I thought.”
“Don’t worry, pretty. You need your beauty sleep.” I tried to make it lighthearted, and gave her a hug. “I just wanted to check on you.”
She was pretty, and no matter when I looked at her, I would never grow bored of her gorgeousness.
She replied with a small smile, “I should probably get up so that I don’t ruin my night sleep.”
Stepping aside, I let Rosalie pass me, my eyes quickly skimming her room, noting the money sitting on her dresser before! closed the door.
“Miss Ro, why don’t you let me make dinner tonight?” Lola suggested from the kitchen.
“Um. I can…”
“Ro, let’s try Lola’s new recipe,” I pulled her close to me and suggested. She was a little disoriented.
“Ok…I think you’re right.” Rosalie sighed, and turned to Lola, “Do you mind?”
Even though I requested her to let Lola cook, her reply still caught me off guard.
No matter how busy Rosalie was, she always enjoyed making dinner for me.
She wanted no one else to do it in the past.
Either she was just exhausted, or something was definitely wrong with her.
“Of course, I would love to do it, and Seraphine would help too,” Lola replied with a smile as she started going through cabinets.
Rosalie moved towards the living room, taking her place upon the sofa. She looked tired, but she still had a soft smile on her face.
“Half day for you?” she teased me.
“Yes, I decided I needed to focus on getting better.” I waved the paper wolf at her.
She smiled. I watched her soft gaze settle upon me. “Hey, Ro, why don’t you rest your feet and close your eyes? I have some papers to look over, and you can sleep while the dinner is being cooked.”
(D
Biting her bottom lip, she looked away from me, shaking her head, “No, it’s okay. That would be rude. I would rather hear about your day.”
My heart beat in response to her interest.
“My day was okay,” i responded. “I took care of a few things, but my thoughts were of you all day long. I couldn’t wait to come back and see you.”
Her eyes cast down as she smiled. She didn’t comment on my compliments and only said, “I’m glad you took it easy.”
Her voice was soft like usual, and she was smiling, but she just seemed distant to me.
What Seraphine said kept playing over in my mind.
Something had upset her, and I needed to know what was bothering her.
“The problem is, this little guy just boosted up my energy level!” I waved the paper wolf at her again. “By the way, thank you for making it for me.”
She blushed, I loved that she blushed easily. “You’re welcome. I know it’s silly…”
“Not silly at all, I love it! Thank you for thinking about me.” I meant it. “Now, I wonder, are you up for a walk outside?”
She tipped her head. “That would be lovely.”
