Chapter 12
“So what if we’re getting divorced? Didn’t you say you see me as a
brother?” Theodore said.
“Since I see you as a brother, we shouldn’t be this intimate. It’s inappropriate,” Rosalie countered.
Suddenly, an elderly voice rang out, “What’s going on? Who’s being inappropriate?”
They turned to see Rebecca leaning on her cane, being assisted by the butler as she approached. @
“Look at you two. You’re not even inside the house yet and are already. hugging so tightly. That’s really inappropriate,” Rebecca remarked.
In fact, she was actually delighted to see her grandson and granddaughter–in–law being so affectionate.
Rosalie immediately broke free from Theodore’s embrace and went to Rebecca’s side.
“Grandma, why are you out so late?” she asked, holding the older woman’s arm. ”
Judging from Rebecca’s behavior, it seemed she hadn’t heard Rosalie and Theodore talking about their divorce earlier. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so calm.

The readers' comments on the novel: Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore)
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 !...
