Chapter 196
Selection took great care of Rosalie feeling her temperaturs and leaning close to her mouth, trying hard to hear what she was saying. He was the very example of a gentle and patient man.
Rosalie shifted her body, and started crying again. He hurriedly wrapped her in his arms and comforted her
As he did so, their lips were mere inches apart. He just needed to lean in slightly more, and their lips would meet.
Sebastian stared at the woman before him, his eyes slowly glossing over as he started to lose his ability to think. His lashes trembled, as the misery on her face reflected deeply in his eyes.
Rosalie bit her lip, and stuck her tongue out to wet her lips. Her body kept twisting as she groaned in discomfort.
The sight of her eyes tightly shut and in a trance made Sebastian
think that she would be none the wiser to whatever he did. Just a
gentle peck was enough.
Sebastian cupped her cheeks in his palms, and inched closer to her.
Their lips were almost touching when Rosalie cried, “Theodore… I love you.”
Time seemed to stand still as the air around them froze.
Sebastian stared at her in a daze. A sweet smile crept up Rosalie’s face as she turned to lay on her side, hugging her bolster as if it were someone. She mumbled under her breath, “Honey, hug me.”
Sebastian felt as though someone had pierced his heart with a knife, giving him excruciating pain. As if someone had dunked his head in water, filling his mouth and nose, suffocating him.

Finally, he sighed and sat up straight. He pulled the covers up Rosalie’s shoulders. Then he sat by her bedside with his head bowed, his tall and towering figure suddenly looking desolate and dejected.
From the corner of his eye, he spotted someone. It was Yvonne, standing at the door and looking smugly at him, as if she was watching a drama unfold before her.
Sebastian’s brows furrowed as he stood up at once and walked toward the door. In hushed tones, he snapped, “What are you doing here?”
“Why are you in her room?” Yvonne asked back.
Sebastian immediately shut the door and grabbed Yvonne’s arm, taking her away.
Yvonne shook his hand off. “You’re hurting me!”
She rubbed her wrist, upset to see her brother treating her so
callously. He had never been like this before.
“She has a fever, and I’m taking care of her,” Sebastian explained, his eyes looking slightly awkward, as if he had a guilty conscience and was trying to hide something.
“Oh, is that so? Taking care of her?” Yvonne said with a gleeful smile. ” I know what’s going on. You’re taking care of her ‘cause she’s your friend. Of course you have to do that.”

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 !...
