"What do you mean?" Rosalie immediately asked.
Justin clenched his fist and knocked again, saying, "It's hollow."
He glanced around and spotted a hammer on the ground. He bent down and picked it up.
"Rose, step back," he instructed.
"Okay." Rosalie retreated, holding Steve tightly in her arms. She was worried the noise might frighten him.
Justin raised the hammer and struck the wall.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After a few heavy hits, part of the wall broke away. The layer of cement shattered and fell to the ground, revealing a small opening.
"There seems to be something inside the wall," Justin said. He used the hammer to strike the edges, widening the hole. Finally, a small safe was revealed. The wall was thin, and the safe was compact.
Rosalie's heart raced with excitement at the sight of the safe, and she hurried forward. "Could my bracelet be inside?"
"Let me open it and check," Justin replied.
He took the safe out of the wall.
The safe had a lock, but it didn't appear very sturdy. Given its small size and its concealed location in the wall, it was unlikely to have been easily discovered.
Using the hammer, Justin broke the lock. With a crack, the safe was opened. However, there was no bracelet inside—only a piece of paper.
Justin picked up the note and read the handwriting on it. "The bracelet isn't safe here. I've kept it for you and will return it another day."
Rosalie took the note and, upon reading the words, was shocked. "Who could this be?"
Justin frowned deeply. "It seems someone has been here before us and taken the bracelet."

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 !...
