Chapter 21
“This is Mr. Sebastian Carter, the primary shareholder of Ashwick University.”
Another round of thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
A young man in a sharp suit elegantly walked onto the stage, nodding slightly to everyone before finally arriving at Rosalie’s side.
Rosalie was somewhat shocked when she saw who it was. Wasn’t he the gentleman she had shared a table with at the restaurant a few days ago?
-When Sebastian saw her, he also seemed slightly surprised but didn’t show it. He accepted the degree certificate from the dean’s hands.
Rosalie stepped forward to receive her degree certificate. She bowed. slightly, keeping her head lowered. The tassel on the right side of her mortarboard hung down. As per tradition, Sebastian gently moved the tassel from the right to the left. With that, the ceremony was complete.
Looking up, Rosalie was about to express her gratitude when she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness that caused her to stagger.
Sebastian immediately reached out to support her, pulling her into his arms in a rather intimate position.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Rosalie felt her vision blur, almost unable to see the people in the audience who were whispering among themselves, unsure of what was happening onstage.

After a few seconds, Rosalie quickly broke free from the man’s

As she was
she was contemplating her next move, the dean said, “Next, let’s invite Mr. Carter to give a speech…”
Before the dean could finish his sentence, he suddenly saw Sebastian rushing past him. Shortly after, screams and gasps came from the audience.
Rosalie had missed a step and was about to fall!
“Ahhh!”
Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around her stomach to protect her abdomen. But instead of feeling the pain of falling onto the hard, cold floor, she felt herself falling into a warm embrace.
At the sound of a man’s muffled groan of pain, Rosalie returned to her senses to find herself pressed against Sebastian’s body. She hurriedly tried to get off him, but her legs were weak and she couldn’t

“Are you okay?” Sebastian asked, still concerned about her despite the pain from the fall.
There was an uproar at the scene, with everyone standing up and

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 !...
