After a moment’s silence, Rosalie finally said, “I can’t guarantee anything, but I’ll ask.”
“In that case, Ms. Young, I can’t guarantee anything too. It seems we both need to work harder on this. I have something else to attend to, and I need to go. I hope to receive good news from you.”
With that, Geoffrey hung up.
Rosalie tightened her grip over her phone.
Geoffrey was way too vicious! How could he bear to do this and use Sebastian as leverage when Sebastian was his biological son?
But she shouldn’t find it strange. The world was filled with all kinds of people, and not all parents were fit to be one. A bastard would remain a bastard even after becoming a parent. He wouldn’t suddenly become a great man or a hero after having a child.
After a moment’s hesitation, Rosalie had no choice but to scroll to Sydney’s contact and dial the number. Sydney answered the call after over ten seconds.
“Hello, Mom. It’s me.”
“What’s the matter?” Sydney’s voice was icy.
Although they weren’t speaking face to face, Rosalie could sense the chill in her voice, as if something bad had happened.
“I just wanted to thank you for today. My friend’s fine for now.”
“Oh,” Sydney said, “that’s good. Is there anything else? I’m quite busy here.”
“Mom, I do have something else. Can you do me a favor, please?”
“What is it?”
“Well… My friend’s father wants to meet you. When he found out that you’re the president of Apex Bank, he wanted to get to know you.”
Silence ensued.
Then, Sydney asked coldly, “Is your friend’s father that man from today?”

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 !...
