Chapter 108
The next day, Rosalie found herself lying in Theodore’s arms. From what she remembered, this was a rare occurrence. Usually, she would wake up to find Theodore already gone and she would be alone.
Staring at his handsome sleeping face, she couldn’t help but reach out and gently stroke his face. A strong sense of reluctance flashed in her eyes.
After their divorce today, Theodore would be free.
Feeling a tingling sensation on his face, Theodore shifted his body slightly and turned over to continue sleeping.
Rosalie withdrew her hand, as if she had been electrocuted.
They were only going to Rebecca’s place at noon, so she didn’t disturb his rest and let him sleep while she got up early.
It wasn’t until after nine o’clock that Theodore woke up. He felt a headache, and coughed a few times. Then, he realized that Rosalie wasn’t by his side. She must have already gotten up.
Usually, he was the one who woke up first. But today, he opened his eyes to find her missing from his side.
He groggily went to the bathroom to freshen up. Just as he came out, he saw Rosalie walking into his room.
“You’re awake.”
“Why didn’t you wake me up earlier?”
“You were sleeping soundly, so I didn’t want to disturb you. We’re only going to Grandma’s place at noon, so just have something light for breakfast.”
Rosalie had already brought some food over for him.
She continued, “Make sure you eat well at Grandma’s place later.
Theodore sat down beside her. He sighed deeply, and took a bite and picked up the apple next to him.
Seeing his listless appearance, Rosalie asked, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Theodore shook his head. “I’m fine.
“Are you catching a cold? Your voice sounds a bit off.”
Rosalie was a bit worried. When she was sleeping last night, it felt like she had held onto something cold. She wanted to open her eyes, but she was too tired.
At that moment, the phone rang.
Theodore picked up the phone and answered, “Hello. Okay, got it, I’ll be right over
After hanging up the phone, Theodore set down the apple and walked into the closet.
When he came out, he was dressed in a sharp suit. He looked particularly dazzling.
“There’s something I need to take care of. I have to go out for a bit.”
He brushed past her without a second glance. His demeanor was cold and distant, unlike the tender affection from last night when he held her.
Rosalie seemed to have grown accustomed to his indifference. Watching his retreating figure, she asked, “Is everything alright? We should go to Grandma’s place earlier. We should leave no later than
ten.”
Theodore stopped in his tracks, and said, “It’s a company matter that requires my personal attention. Once I’m done, I’ll head straight to Grandma’s place. You can have the driver take you there first.”
With that, he moved to leave.
Rosalie stepped forward. “You’re not lying to me, are you? We agreed to go to Grandma’s to get the resident register today. This is the closest step you’ve taken to marrying Cynthia. Don’t drag it out, okay?”
Every time he received a call and left, it was almost always about Cynthia. Rosalie felt it was the same this time.
Theodore reached into his pocket, pulled out his phone, and opened the call log. Then he handed her the phone. “See for yourself.”
Rosalie saw the call log, which showed that it was from Yuvan. She felt a bit embarrassed.
So, it really was about the company.
“Can I go now?” he asked.
Rosalie nodded. “Go ahead, but you must go to Grandma’s place in time. I can’t stall her and steal the resident register by myself. Grandma’s very clever. She might catch on accidentally.”
Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore)
Unrealistic. What a comedy. If Sebastian and Rosalie are cousins, their families must have already prevented them to be together abroad. Isn't it bizarre that nobody is doing something to let them know of their family relationship? And pls stop putting Aurora in a high pedestal. Your readers want Rosalie to be genuinely happy,free of stupid misunderstanding. Thank you....
Another garbled story with lots of gibberish. Absolute rubbish. I got to chapter 26 and can't anymore...
Too many people involve.. sigh~ this is like the most angst novel i've read.....
I just wish one thing...that the writer will not bring too many unnecessary and unrealistic twists,too many misunderstanding,miscommunication that gives the reader the hint not to continue with the novel. In the long run, We lost our interest in this kind of unending plot....
Thanks for the update !...
