Sebastian saw Rosalie’s eyes dim; he wanted to say more, but his phone rang before he could speak.
His father was calling him to deal with that project again. Geoffrey wanted him to come right away, as the personnel involved were already waiting for him.
Sebastian didn’t want to leave just yet. However, Rosalie, knowing the situation, urged him to attend to company affairs first.
After bidding her goodbye, Sebastian left her house.
Not long after his departure, she received a text. There were only two words in it:
[I’m sorry.]
It was from Theodore.
Rosalie furrowed her brows, doubtful. Why did he text her that for no apparent reason?
She replied to him with three question marks.
Theodore texted back. [The day I took the incoming call, I didn’t mean to hide it from you. I just forgot about it. I’m sorry I upset you.]
Rosalie shook her head, feeling helpless.
She was taken aback by Theodore’s severely delayed reaction, what with his apology coming so belatedly. The last time she questioned him about it, he was stubborn and self-righteous.
Rosalie texted, [I almost couldn’t be bothered to remember that until you mentioned it. It’s over, forget about it.]
Theodore texted the same thing again. [Sorry.]
[Why did you apologize again? Haven't you already apologized?]
Theodore explained, [The previous apology was for not telling you that I picked up your call. The second apology was for the many times I upset you. I even made you cry in the past.]
Rosalie was stunned for a moment. Then, she replied, [Are you alright? Why are you suddenly apologizing to me for what happened in the past?]
Theodore replied, [No particular reason. I just find myself to be a coward.]
Rosalie rubbed her nose, wondering if the sun rose from the west today. What was going on with Theodore?
Rosalie didn’t understand, and she refused to understand him. She didn’t want a man who would slap her in the face and then give her a present as compensation.
This time, she wouldn’t fall for it again.
She didn’t really care for being a Spencer. What’s more, the fact that Theodore had to keep emphasizing that she was one proved that she really wasn’t. If she really was a member of the family, he wouldn’t need to emphasize it so much.
No one needed to emphasize the fact that Theodore was a Spencer. It was an undisputed fact.
Rosalie, on the other hand, was but an outsider. If the Spencers accepted her, she would be a member of the family. If they didn’t, then she wouldn’t be.
Although Rebecca treated her well and doted on her like a real granddaughter, the fact that she wasn’t blood-related to the Spencers remained true.
All the more she wasn’t after the divorce!
Feeling ruthless, Rosalie texted, [Mr. Spencer, please don’t say such things in the future. I’m not a Spencer. You don’t get a say in this.]
What right did he have to make decisions for everything in her own life?!

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 !...
