Rosalie recalled the rose Theodore gave her this afternoon, which he claimed he bought from the streets.
A cold wind blew past, and she shivered slightly—it felt chilly. Theodore very chivalrously removed his jacket and draped it over her shoulders.
"Theo, I'm fine. I'm not cold. You wear it." She was worried he might catch a cold instead.
"I'm fine." When Theodore draped the jacket back on her shoulders, he put his arm around her shoulders and left it there. The two of them looked very intimate.
Just then, Rosalie's phone rang. It broke the awkward moment that was brewing.
Rosalie gently nudged Theodore's arm away and picked up her phone. "Hello."
It was Justin calling. "Rose, it's me."
"Hey, Justin. What's up?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to call to ask if you're asleep."
"Not yet, I'm still out."
"Oh? Are you out alone?"
"No, I'm with Theo," Rosalie said frankly.
"Right," Justin said, not pursuing the matter. "I won't bother you two, then. I just wanted to check in on you, nothing else. I'll hang up then, bye."
Justin ended the call.
Rosalie said anxiously, "Wait."
"Anything else?" Justin asked.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Rosalie said, "Nothing. It's getting late, Justin. Turn in early."
Justin hummed in agreement and they ended the call.
Rosalie nodded. "So I thought we should at least have a meal together before he leaves."
Theodore nodded. "You're right."
The two of them continued along the sidewalk.
"Rose, do you feel uncomfortable coming out with me tonight?" Theodore suddenly asked.
He could sense it, but he wanted to continue living in this beautiful dream, stretching out their time alone together as much as he could.
"Not at all, Theo. I don't feel uncomfortable, it's just that…"
"Just that what?" He asked with a very serious look on his face.
"Theo, I came out with you and you might see this as a date, but it isn't to me. I know we're Steve's parents and we'll continue staying by his side—not as husband and wife, but rather as his mommy and daddy."

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 !...
