Geoffrey Carter sat expressionlessly on the couch, sipping on some tea.
Sebastian stood in front of Geoffrey, his figure tall and towering, with an indomitable air of a noble.
Geoffrey looked as if he was going to set his teacup down, but midway, he lifted his arm and flung the teacup in the direction of Sebastian’s head.
The tea in the cup splashed all over Sebastian’s head.
Although it was no longer scalding, the teacup hit his head and broke into two pieces.
Sebastian didn’t wince in pain, and continued standing tall. The broken teacup fell on the floor with a clank.
Geoffrey looked up at Sebastian coldly.
“You’ve become quite something. I heard that recently, you’re seldom in the office and always out. Even your secretary doesn't know where you go or what you’re doing. Tell me. Who is that woman?”
Sebastian said firmly, “It’s my own problem, and not because of some woman. Don’t get the wrong idea.”
“Me? Getting the wrong idea?”
Geoffrey stood up. He was as tall as Sebastian, with a strong and authoritative air about him.
Sebastian bore a striking resemblance to him.
Geoffrey, however, had many more years of experience under his belt and looked colder and more ruthless than Sebastian. There was not a trace of warmth in his eyes, as if he could viciously step over anyone.
“You lost such a major project, which you promised me you were very confident about. Yet, you ended up letting someone else snatch it from under our nose.”
Geoffrey walked around Sebastian.
“Fine,” Geoffrey said with a nod. “Since you didn’t mean anything else, Sebastian, I’ll investigate things and find out who exactly is the one who bewitched you. If this goes on, the company will collapse in your hands.”
“Dad, I’ve told you that I’m solely responsible, and there’s no woman whatsoever. Do you wish for me to be the kind of man who pushes the blame on a woman?”
Sebastian naturally didn’t want his father knowing about Rosalie, for fear she might be implicated. He knew the kind of man his father was.
Geoffrey was ruthless even to his own family members, not to mention strangers. He would surely be heartless and cruel.
“You put it so nicely. Seems like you’re really protective of that woman.”
Geoffrey scoffed.
“In that case, I must find out who she is. Let me say this upfront: if this woman bears any influence over the Carters, I won’t sit idly by and watch her destroy our family.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore)
Why aren't u updating......
Unrealistic. What a comedy. If Sebastian and Rosalie are cousins, their families must have already prevented them to be together abroad. Isn't it bizarre that nobody is doing something to let them know of their family relationship? And pls stop putting Aurora in a high pedestal. Your readers want Rosalie to be genuinely happy,free of stupid misunderstanding. Thank you....
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 !...
