Chapter 211
“Vonnie, let me ask you something.”
“What’s up?”
“Is it that obvious that I…like her?”
Yvonne, the cheeky girl, figured it out in a heartbeat. Was she just too sharp, or was he too eager?
“Are you kidding? You think you’re being subtle?” Yvonne shot back.
“I’m asking you, okay? No need to flip out on me.” Sebastian furrowed his brow. “Just answer my question.”
Yvonne replied, “Yep, you’re as clear as day. One glance, and I could tell there was something off between you two,”
“Something off between us?” Sebastian propped his chin on the table edge. Then, he turned around, his expression somewhat awkward. ” So, do you think it’s just me who’s off, or…”
He paused, looking a bit embarrassed, but there was an urgency to know the answer.
Yvonne had never seen her brother so flustered in all her years. It turned out that even the mighty CEO of Skycrest Enterprise could be at a loss when he liked a woman.
“It’s just you,” Yvonne replied bluntly, knowing exactly what Sebastian was asking. “Clearly, you’re pining away.”
Yvonne was loving this. Finally, she had a chance to throw the
ultimate shade at her dear brother.
Sebastian’s face immediately soured, looking like he was blaming Yvonne for being so direct. However, he was also contradictory–he
didn’t want Yvonne to lie, either.
The truth always stung, yet had to be faced.
“What’s up? Are you feeling down? Yvonne sat beside him. Her chin was resting on her hand as she stared playfully at him.
“No wisecracks,” Sebastian squashed her little scheme. “Our conversation today stays between us, or else.”
“Okay, I got it. I definitely can’t tell your Rose, right?” Yvonne teased.
“What do you mean, ‘my Rose‘?” Sebastian’s heart skipped a beat. She’s not mine.”
“Oh, really? I thought you wished she was. Guess I misjudged. You’re not that into her after all.”
Yvonne found it amusing to poke fun at the lofty man like this.
“Yvonne, you’re just itching for trouble, aren’t you?” Sebastian was both annoyed and exasperated by his sister’s words.
Seems like he’s been caught.
He stood up, pushing the chair aside. “Go get some sleep.”
With that, he picked up his tablet and started to leave..
Yvonne stepped in his way. “Seb, since when did you become such a coward? If you like her, just confess.”
“What do you know?” Sebastian’s expression turned serious. “If I confess to her in her current state, don’t you think she’ll just run away from me?”
Yvonne suddenly realized it. “Oh, looks like you understand that Rose doesn’t like you, Seb. She just sees you as a friend.”
Sebastian felt a sudden pang in his heart. Yvonne’s words were akin to a needle poking into his chest.

It hurt.
Though Yvonne was mischievous, she was also astute. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have seen through Sebastian’s feelings in an instant. Now she also saw that her brother was feeling uncomfortable
because of her words.
Finally, someone could get a handle on the aloof Sebastian–it was great!
“But then again, not liking now doesn’t mean she won’t like later. After all, she’s getting a divorce. Seb, you’ve got plenty of chances,” Yvonne teased. Her words left Sebastian feeling both flustered and relieved.
Sebastian’s stormy expression gradually cleared.
He covered his lips with his clenched fist, and cleared his throat. Then, he asked in a low voice, “Do you really think so?”

Otherwise, she might easily notice your feelings. You better hide them. a bit, or you’ll scare her off.”
Sebastian felt a bit uneasy. “Is it really that obvious?”
“Seb, how about this? Next time you face Rose, I’ll secretly tak a picture. Then, you can see for yourself the look in your eyes.”
Just talking about it made Yvonne feel goosebumps.
Sebastian frowned, and said in a somewhat resigned manner, “I’ll be more careful next time.”
“At times like this, you need your little sister’s help.” Yvonne tugged lightly at his sleeve. “Even the best general needs soldiers to help him. charge into battle. This little sister of yours will take on this important. task.”

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 !...
