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.
“I was bored, so I came to see if Theo really took you out for your birthday,” Rebecca said.
She had been a bit skeptical about her grandson, so she came to check herself.
“Oh, you two were supposed to be out, weren’t you? back?

Rebecca asked, puzzled
“We had enough fun outside and decided to come back home. Home is always better than anywhere else, Rosalie replied, quickly
providing a reasonable excuse.
“That’s true,” Rebecca said as she patted Rosalie’s hand. “Nowhere’s
better than home. No matter what happens, always remember to
come home.”
Rebecca motioned for Theodore to come closer. When he did, she frowned. “How much have you had to drink?”
“Grandma, it’s my birthday today, so I let him have a few extra drinks. It’s all my fault,” Rosalie interjected.
“Oh, child. Why do you always take the blame for everything? I’m sure he’s the one who couldn’t hold back from drinking.”
Rebecca’s cold gaze shifted to Theodore, but he remained silent, his gaze fixed on Rosalie. Noticing her grandson’s subtle glance at her granddaughter–in–law, a smile played at the corners of the old woman’s mouth.
She took Theodore’s hand and placed it on the back of Rosalie’s hand. “Theo and Rose, seeing you two being so affectionate makes me feel relieved. As long as you two are together, this is home. Without either of you, it’s not home. Do you understand?”
Rosalie’s nose tingled as she fought back tears and nodded vigorously. “Yes, Grandma, I understand.”

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 !...
