Xyla nodded to Rosalie to show courtesy, then turned to Chandra and said, "Mom, let's go back."
"What's the rush? It's already noon, and we're conveniently at a restaurant. This place seems quite nice," Chandra remarked before turning to Rosalie. "After all, you were once my grandson's wife, and this child is my grandson."
Rosalie felt a bit awkward. If she revealed that Steve wasn't Sebastian's child, it would expose the fact that he was Theodore's son.
Chandra turned and called out. "Is the manager here?"
A man in a black uniform hurried over. "Madam."
"Where's your attentiveness? Can't you see us standing here? Do you have any private dining rooms available? Something suitable for our group," Chandra demanded.
The manager offered an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry, madam, the private rooms are fully booked. However, there are still tables available in the main dining hall."
"What do you mean, fully booked? Make one available for me!" Chandra ordered without hesitation.
"But madam, the private rooms have all been reserved," the manager explained with visible discomfort. He couldn't just ask the other guests to leave.
"Are you saying no to me?" Chandra gave him a sharp once-over before turning to her bodyguard and saying, "Call the fire department and have them inspect this place. I have a feeling this restaurant's safety measures aren't up to standard."
Chandra, having grown up in privilege, had always enjoyed special treatment and could not tolerate being denied.
The manager's face turned pale. He realized he had offended someone influential, someone who could casually summon the fire department. It was clear this was no ordinary woman—likely someone of great status.
"Madam, let's discuss this calmly. I'll find a way to solve this issue for you," the manager replied nervously.
"Is the private room ready yet?" Chandra asked coldly.
"Just give me a few minutes, madam. I'll clear one out for you right away. Please wait here," the manager said before hurrying off.
Chandra's expression softened into a smile, a stark contrast to her domineering demeanor just moments ago. "See? Problem solved. Now we can sit together and enjoy lunch."
Chandra's overbearing attitude left Justin visibly annoyed. Just as he was about to speak up, Rosalie grabbed his wrist and gave him a look, signaling him to stay calm.
Rosalie then smiled and said, "Of course, no problem at all. Lunch is on me. After all, you're Sebastian's family. Even though Sebastian and I are divorced, we're still friends."
"Exactly," Chandra said. "After all, the child in your arms is my grandson."
Within minutes, the manager returned, saying, "Madam, please follow me. I've arranged a private room for your group. I'll personally ensure you're well taken care of today."
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 !...
