Chapter 23
Rose, did you need something?”
Theodore didn’t directly answer her question, but it was true. Cynthial was his junior.
“I need to fill out my preferences for my university entrance exams. Do you have any suggestions regarding majors?”
Theodore continued working with his head down as he replied, ” Choose something you’re interested in.”
“Then, I’ll choose…”
“Sorry to interrupt,” said Cynthia from the office doorway. “Mr. Spencer, Mr. Johnson is online and waiting for you.”
Theodore hummed in response and closed the file he was holding. I’ll be right there.”
As he walked past Rosalie, he said, “I’m a bit busy. Let’s talk later.”
“Oh, okay,” Rosalie replied, looking somewhat disappointed as she
lowered her head.
Noticing the lack of movement behind him, Theodore stopped and turned around. Eventually, he approached Rosalie and grasped her
shoulder.
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing. You should go attend to your business,” Rosalie said, fearing she would delay him further.
“Tell me what major you want to study,” he insisted, not rushing away.
Rosalie looked up, noticing Cynthia at the door. The older woman

looked professional, seeming to portray the image of a strong, Independent woman.
“I want to study finance,” Rosalie said, wanting to work alongside Theodore and be on par with him.
“You like finance?” Theodore asked.
Rosalie nodded. “Yes, I do.”
“Alright, then study that. After you graduate, I can arrange a job for
you.”
“Can I work at SK Enterprise?” Rosalie asked softly.
“Of course, I need talents in finance,” he replied, gently patting her shoulder before turning and leaving.
As he reached the door, he turned back and added, “Rose, apply to universities in Ashwick, okay? Don’t go too far.”
Because of Theodore’s words, she had ultimately chosen finance as her major. Unfortunately, he no longer needed her now.
“Since you didn’t leave halfway through my speech, you must have heard me say that I’ve never regretted that decision. So, why are your accusing me of deceiving you?” Rosalie asked.
She didn’t blame Theodore or regret it, but he was accusing her now.
After staring at her silently for a moment, Theodore released her shoulder, fastened her seatbelt, and drove away. Though his
expression was cold, he looked ready to erupt at any moment, like a volcano..
“What’s your relationship with that man?” he asked. His tone was indifferent, but the veins on the back of his hand bulged as he gripped the steering wheel.
“There’s nothing between us. He’s just a major shareholder at
Ashwick University
And? Theodore pressed
“There’s nothing more than that. I have no connection to tem. Vivet
da you want me to say?”
“Does that mean you only met him today?
Actually, Rosalie had met him before, but she wasn’t sure if she should tell Theodore about it.
In the end, she said, “Yes, today was the first time I’ve seen him.”
It was better to not mention the past. Talking about it was troublesome, and Theodore would just ask more questions. At her answer, the bulging veins on the back of the man’s hand seemed to diminish, and his fiery gaze gradually subsided.
“You shouldn’t have acted like that today.” Rosalie was a bit angry. 1 fell, and he helped me. You humiliated him too much.”
Although Theodore didn’t explicitly say it at the time, his behavior, his tone, his gaze – anyone with eyes could see that he had been targeting Sebastian.

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 !...
