Theodore suddenly suggested, "Rose, move in with me. I'll arrange for someone to protect you 24/7."

Rosalie was taken aback. After regaining her composure, she immediately shook her head. "There's no need. I can take care of myself. You don't have to worry."

"Rose," Theodore said with urgency, "you're right. With everything that's been happening, it's likely we've been under surveillance for a while. I think you need protection. Please, move in with me."

"You're just looking for an excuse to get me to live with you. I won't move in with you, so don't bring it up again. I have to go now. You'd better get a check-up."

With that, Rosalie took Steve back from Theodore's arms. Seeing how resolute she was, Theodore realized that saying more would be futile.

"I'm sorry for being impulsive earlier. At the very least, let me take you home. Please, I won't feel at ease unless I escort you back." Rosalie nodded. "Alright."
