The baby was once the taboo between them. If not for the baby, Rose would have forgiven Caesar long ago.
"Rose, you heard the gunshots, but you still took the risk to dash to me. Do you know what that meant? You put me in the first place, regardless of your own safety!"
"It's been so many years since the baby passed away. Please give me one more chance, and I promise I will bring you a bunch of babies and protect you all well."
Caesar sounded sincere, but Rose felt those expressions annoying and funny.
"I am not a sow, OK? A bunch? It takes ten months for a baby to be born. And the laboring will leave a mother out of shape."
"Breast-feeding will result in mastoptosis. No! I don't like these." Rose felt horrible.
That baby came by accident, and neither of them ever thought of these problems.
Now, Roes had time and ease to deliberate on them, and her conclusion was no.
"Well, if you stay with me, it doesn't matter if we
have babies or not."
Rose's eyes widened with surprise, "You are OK with that?!"
"You are more important than anything in my life. Rose, I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
"If a baby becomes a burden for us, there is nothing for us to lose to be DINK."
"Caesar, you..." Rose didn't know how to describe her feelings.
Recently, there were several times that Rose was moved by Caesar, and this was another one.
Her heart was not a diamond, and she already got softened by what Caesar did.
"Rose, I have said these three words many times, but I will say them again."
"I am sorry! I overestimated my ability at that time, and I thought I could control everything."
"My arrogance hurt you and killed the baby. I promise you that I won't fall at the same place twice!"
"If I took you as a stand-in for Everly, as you said, what is the point of those years I waited?"
"When you walked out of my life, there were many times I thought of giving up. I was tired and miserable then. I would rather die alone if love meant torture."
"But it is you! I persisted because of you! My life without you is unimaginable! Those lonely and miserable days made me know myself better. You are the most important in my life!"
"Please give me one chance to love you, Rose, I can't live without you."
Hearing Caesar out, Rose already had an answer in her heart.
She kept running away to seek the answer to one question, which was if she would live without Caesar.
She left and came back, traveling around the world, seeing different people, and listening to different stories.
However, in the end, no man could win her full attention because there was a man living in her heart.
Because of this man, it was impossible for Rose to fall for others. Now she was tired of her escape tricks, as her love for him didn't subside because of the distance.
"Caesar, I am tired too. After so many years, I still feel for you, and you only."
"Adam also said that those photos were chosen by Everly deliberately, and she had installed cameras in the room in advance."
"You didn't lay a finger on her. Moreover, after I left, you had a bad time, drinking and smoking."
