Meanwhile, Theodore testified as Aurora's alibi and bailed her out. By the time they left the police station, the sky had turned dark.
The night air felt chilly, and Aurora shivered in the cold. Theodore took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders.
"The police said that he died two weeks ago," Theodore said. "You were the last person he saw before he died."
Aurora's eyes were still red, her face etched with fatigue.
"I have no idea. He did look for me then, and even beat me up. You know that, too. He offended way too many people, and all of them want him dead. He asked me for money the day he looked for me because he truly was at his wits' end."
Theodore was silent. Seeing that, Aurora exclaimed in shock, "Theo, do you really think I killed him? I did not! How could I possibly do it? I…"
"There's no need to explain," Theodore said, cutting her off. "I didn't say that you killed him, or I wouldn't have testified for you."
"Theo, I have no idea how or why he died. No wonder you couldn't find him no matter how hard you tried. As it turns out, he's dead. Someone threw his corpse into the river."
"I'll have someone send you back home. Get some rest," Theodore said before turning to leave.
"Theo, wait!"
Theodore stopped in his tracks. "Is there anything else?"
"Theo, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?"
Aurora gripped the hem of her shirt, looking nervous. "After that thing happened two weeks ago, I haven't had my period. It's been late for over ten days."
Theodore's heart started racing. "What did you say?"
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 !...
