Rosalie wasn't sure if Justin had been truthful, but regardless, it was clear he didn't want to give her his number. She didn't push him for it, understanding that his unique circumstances likely warranted caution on his part.
By eleven o'clock, Rosalie was growing anxious. She couldn't shake the feeling that something might have happened to him. However, without knowing where Justin was or having a way to contact him, she felt helpless.
Just then, her phone rang.
Upon answering, Rosalie heard Justin's voice on the other end. "Rose, it's me."
"Justin, where are you? Why didn't you come to see me? Are you okay?" she asked, worried something might have happened to him.
Justin chuckled softly. "Sorry, something came up today, and I got held up. I have a lot to deal with, so I probably won't be able to see you for the next few days."
"Oh, I see. I was worried something had happened to you. You scared me," Rosalie said.
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I'll take care of myself. I'm sorry I broke my promise."
"It's okay," Rosalie replied. "Go handle your business."
"When I'm done, I'll take you to see some houses," Justin assured her.
"Alright," Rosalie responded softly. "No rush."
After the call ended, Rosalie exhaled a sigh of relief. Looking down at Steve in her arms, she said, "Good thing Justin is okay. He really scared me."
Still, a lingering unease gnawed at her.
Meanwhile, Justin ended the call and sat on the floor, pressing his hand against the blood-soaked wounds on his body. Using rudimentary tools, he painfully extracted the bullets from his injuries, then wrapped them with bandages. Sweat poured down his face as he worked.
He still didn't know who the assailant was, but one thing was clear—that man was a threat to Rosalie.
If the day came when he had to leave Blencalgo, he would make sure to eliminate that individual first, ensuring Rosalie's safety.
Since Rosalie couldn't meet Justin that day, she decided to go house-hunting on her own. She couldn't stay in the hotel forever.
Just as she was about to head out, her phone buzzed with a notification.
Rosalie picked up the phone and saw a message from Yerick.
[How have you been lately, Rose?]
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Rosalie replied, [I'm doing well. I'm back in the country now.]
[You're back? That's great! Let's meet up and grab a meal together.]

The readers' comments on the novel: Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore)
Why aren't u updating......
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 !...
