Chapter 20
The words “Ms. Young” haunted Rosalie like a curse all the way back
home.
Feeling some discomfort, she wanted to lie down in bed as soon as she arrived. As she was walking to the bed, she stumbled and accidentally kicked the trash can. Just as she was about to steady it, she noticed a phone with a cracked screen in the trash can.
Wasn’t this Theodore’s phone?
Rosalie remembered having heard something fall in the room early this morning. It seemed to have been this phone.
However, the floor of the bedroom was carpeted. So, even if the phone had fallen, it wouldn’t make such a loud noise, nor would the
screen have cracked like this. In fact, it looked as if someone had
deliberately smashed the phone.
Since the argument in the car, Rosalie hadn’t seen Theodore for four consecutive days. He seemed to have vanished into thin air, and the couple hadn’t been in contact with each other at all.
Every day, Rosalie felt heartbroken. When she woke up every morning, she felt suffocated, but she had to keep going. She also had to force a smile on her face and pretend to be happy whenever Rebecca came to see her.
Today was a somewhat special day – Rosalie would be receiving her degree at Ashwick University’s convocation ceremony.
She had just graduated from the Finance faculty. As the best student of her cohort, the dean had asked her to represent the student body

When the dean called her name, Rosalie stood up from her place.
amidst the sea of students. Dressed in a black academic gown, she looked like a model student.
As the audience applauded, Rosalie walked onstage and adjusted the microphone. Just as she was about to speak, she spotted a mant walking into the hall. He stood with his hands in his pockets, silently staring at her.
Despite the distance, she recognized him at a glance!
Rosalie’s heart raced with excitement. Theodore had actually come. She had thought he didn’t want to see her after that incident!
The whole room fell silent. Theodore had made a low–key entrance, and everyone’s eyes were focused on Rosalie. No one had noticed the important figure entering the hall.
“Ms. Young, what’s wrong?” the dean whispered.
Snapping back to reality, Rosalie straightened up, smiled, and began speaking, “I am honored to be standing here today to deliver this speech. Honestly, I didn’t like finance initially, nor did I want to choose this major.
“I ultimately chose it because I hoped to use my knowledge to help the people around me. Unfortunately, the person I wanted to help. didn’t need my assistance.”
She had hoped to help Theodore, even going as far as to choose a major she didn’t like because she didn’t want to be too different from

The readers' comments on the novel: Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore)
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 !...
