Chapter 253
Sydney never imagined her son would speak to her this way. She hadn’t realized just how much sadness he harbored in his heart.
She fell silent for a long time, unable to find the right words to say. Her gaze shifted from Theodore, and she finally looked down, unsure how to face him.
Though she was a mother and Theodore was already in his twenties, she seemed almost childlike at this moment, lost and uncertain.
After a while, she said, “You’ve always been so independent. Besides, we had plenty of servants to take care of you. You didn’t need me
around.”
Rosalie frowned, feeling a surge of irritation.
Sydney’s words were grating. Having servants didn’t excuse
neglecting one’s child–it wasn’t a valid reason! Rosalie understood that Sydney had been unhappy in her marriage, but bringing a child into the world meant taking responsibility and providing ample love.
A child shouldn’t bear the burden of their parents‘ marital woes.
However, discussing this now wouldn’t change anything. This was something only Theodore and Sydney could resolve between
themselves.
Theodore gently pushed Rosalie behind him, stepping forward to face Sydney with a cold gaze. His voice was less angry now, but it carried
a note of sadness.
“Yes, we had servants. So you felt it was okay to distance yourself from me? You wouldn’t come home for many nights. Sometimes, you were gone for a whole year. I had no idea where you were. I thought

you and Dad had abandoned me.”
Wesley, unable to sit any longer, stood up immediately. “I never abandoned you. I just…”
He trailed off, unable to find the right words. He knew he had been wrong back then. Upon learning Sydney was pregnant, his reaction. had been less than supportive.
However, explaining now would only come across as making excuses.
Sydney bit her lip, and lifted her gaze to meet Theodore’s..
“You complain that I neglected you, but what about all the times I was there for you? When you were born, I was the one who nursed you, changed your diapers, and held you through the night. Your father wasn’t around. It was just me.”
“Wasn’t that your responsibility?!” Theodore’s fists clenched tightly. “I was just a baby, brought into this world by a loveless couple. Don’t you think, as parents, you think, as parents, you should have taken responsibility? Did you think you could just stop caring for me once I could remember? If that was the plan, why have me at all? You should have just aborted me!”
Rosalie’s heart skipped a beat. Instinctively, she tightened her grip on
Theodore’s arm.
“Theo, don’t say that,” she said.
“Theodore Spencer!”
A furious voice cut through the tension. Wesley stepped forward, pulling Sydney behind him.

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 !...
