LittleNovelTheir parent-child bonding efforts officially began the next day.
Rosalie brought Jake to the thpark. In the beginning, Jake felt rather stiff and reserved. It was his first talone with his mom, after all.
As twent by, Rosalie's earnestness, concern, and gentle patience with him slowly opened him up.
They sat on the carousel, drove the bumper cars, rode on the Viking ship, zoomed down slides, bounced on the trampolines, and sailed on mini-boats. They had a whale of a time.

He had grown closer to his mom, so much so that he would jump into her arms, hugging her and asking for kisses.
Rosalie did not hold back from expressing her love for him and even carried him on her back as they continued exploring the park. Jake was very obedient and cdown very soon, for fear that Rosalie might get tired. They moved on to the next attraction hand- in-hand.
Rosalie found out one thing from Jake, which was that the woman she previously saw at Theodore's villa turned out to be Jake's therapist. She would drop by whenever Jake was feeling low. She had no relationship with Theodore beyond a professional one.
When Rosalie first saw the woman, she thought Theodore had found a new lover. She then fell sick, and Theodore donated his liver to her. Everything happened in a blur, and shepletely ot about the woman.
Now that she found out the truth, she felt even more guilty toward Jake. She felt very thankful to the therapist for counseling Jake in her absence.
Things were going very well between Rosalie and Jake, but not so between Theodore and Chelsea.
Theodore had intended to cook for Chelsea. He thought it would be simple to follow the recipe, going through the steps and throwing things into a pot.
Unfortunately, many accidents happened, and Theodore ended up with a pot of food charred to bits.
Chelsea still hadn't had lunch when the clock struck two in the afternoon. Her stomach was growling from hunger, and she had to resort to eating an apple she grabbed from the fridge.

Chelsea wolfed down the food while Theodore kept reminding her to slow down, lest she choke on the food.
Chelsea looked at Theodore in a daze. "Mr. Spencer, were you close to my daddy?" Theodore was surprised to hear Chelsea suddenly mention Justin.
"I guess you could say so. Your dad is a good man." "That's what Mommy says too, but Mommy says that you're a good man, too." "Does your mommy often talk about me?" Theodore asked tenderly.
Chelsea nodded. "Yes, she always talks toabout you and Jake." "Chelsea, now that I've reconciled with your mommy, that kind of makesyour dad. Don't c Mr. Spencer anymore, you can callDaddy." Chelsea was stunned. The idea of a daddy was very foreign to her. She never had the chance to call her biological father Daddy.
The hesitation in Chelsea's eyes made Theodore add, "It's fine. You can callthat anytyou're ready." Chelsea nodded and continued eating.
"Chelsea, after lunch, I'll bring you out for sfun. Where would you like to go?" "I'm so tired. I want to rest after lunch and watch cartoons." Chelsea didn't want to go out to play.
"Alright, then." Rosalie was always around, and with her presence, Theodore didn't feel the distance between himself and Chelsea.
