Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore) novel Chapter 1462

Lunch went by without a glitch, although neither of them spoke much.

Perhaps because Chelsea was around, they found it inappropriate to say what was on their mind, even if there was much they wanted to say.

After the meal, Theodore put his spoon down and said, "Now that you're back, will you leave again?"

Even after having met Rosalie, he didn't dare to hold out hope and braced himself for the possibility that she might leave and disappear from his world again.

"I'm here for work, as I've been dispatched here to take on a long-term position. If there are no surprises, I'll probably be staying here for good."

"So if it weren't for work, you wouldn't have returned, am I right?"

Theodore's tone was calm, but he was in fact trying his best to suppress his agitation.

Rosalie's heart throbbed with pain. "I really missed Jake. I think even without work, I might still have come back."

"Might," Theodore repeated her words through gritted teeth. "I see."

Rosalie had nothing to say to justify her actions. All she could do was ask, "Theo, have you been well over the years?"

"Do you really care whether I've been well? You left five years ago, abandoning me and Jake. Have you ever considered whether we'll be well?"

Rosalie lowered her head in remorse. "I'm sorry."

"Don't say sorry to me. I don't want to hear that. You didn't disappoint anyone. It's just that now that things have turned out this way, and you suddenly come back again, I don't know what I should do now. Should I love you like I did in the past, or resent you?"

Blinking innocently, Chelsea asked, "Mr. Spencer, are you angry?"

Theodore took a deep breath and said, "I'm not, Chelsea."

Rosalie knew that, contrary to his words, he was surely livid with her.

"Theo, I want to make it up to you. I'd do anything you ask of me."

"I don't need you to make it up to me. At the very least, you left me the child and didn't take him away."

Thankfully, he had Jake by his side. That was the sole reason he didn't break down.

"Theo, is Jake unwilling to see me because I abandoned him? Does he not want me as his mother anymore? Has he found himself a new mother?"

Rosalie looked morosely at Theodore and asked, "Have you found yourself a new lover?"

There was no trace of jealousy in her voice, which was absolutely calm.
