After hearing Rosalie out, Sydney fell silent.
Her first thought was that Theodore was in trouble.
As it turned out, Rosalie stayed up the entire night reading through the documents to identify the problem with Regent Co. not for his sake at all. Quite the opposite—she did it for Sebastian.
Sydney suddenly laughed, the sound laced with helplessness and irony.
Theodore wasn’t the only one who misunderstood the situation. She did, too. She really thought that Rosalie did it for her son, but she never expected…
Rosalie clearly had her priorities in place, more so than Sydney did in her younger days. The girl might look weak and vulnerable, but she had a clear mind and knew exactly what she needed to do.
Meanwhile, Rosalie didn’t understand why Sydney was laughing. “Mom? What’s the matter?”
“Nothing,” Sydney said, looking at Rosalie. “So Geoffrey Carter threatened you with his son, and you accepted it because you care about his son very soon?”
“Seb’s a good friend of mine,” Rosalie explained. “I can’t sit idly by and watch that happen to him, so I’ll help wherever I can. But it’s fine if you’re not willing to do it. I’ll think of another way.”
“No need for that,” Sydney said. “Tell him that I’ll meet him.”
Joy filled Rosalie’s heart. “Really? Mom, you’re okay with seeing him?”
Sydney nodded. “Go ahead and tell him that.”
“But Mom,” Rosalie said, as the smile faded from her face, “I don’t want to force you to do this. If you’re very resistant to the idea, you don't need to meet him.”
“There’s nothing to be resistant to,” Sydney said calmly. “There’s no harm in getting to know a big shot, anyway.”
“Why did you reject me in the first place?”
Rosalie didn’t understand. Sydney had rejected her so firmly at the start, and she even sounded disgusted with the idea. Why did she suddenly change her mind and agree to it so readily?
She said it very calmly, but her voice carried firm resolution. It left no room for negotiation.
Sydney sighed. “Alright, then. I understand. Go back home, and I’ll call you once I’ve cleaned things up around here.”
Rosalie nodded. “Okay, call me if there’s anything. I can come anytime.”
Since Sydney didn’t want her around, she wouldn’t stay on and bother her.
Sydney waved her away and leaned against the head of the bed, feeling all spent.
After leaving Sydney’s place, Rosalie called Wesley.
He immediately asked, “How is Sydney? Did you see her?”

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 !...
