He should be grateful to himself for threatening others.
Geoffrey noticed Rosalie's lukewarm reaction, and seemed to understand something.
"I know you don't have a good impression of me, but I have a reason for everything I do. As a father, I naturally care about my son's happiness. But since he doesn't have a girlfriend now, even if I wanted to fulfill his wishes, I wouldn't have the opportunity.
“I know my son. If we wait for him to get married on his own, who knows when that will be? The woman I've found for him is very nice. I believe they will be well-suited for each other once they get to know each other."
"Mr. Carter, you may think they will get along well after getting to know each other, but Sebastian might not feel the same way. What if he refuses? What will you do, then?" Rosalie asked. She wanted to know what consequences Sebastian would face.
"So he better not refuse." Geoffrey's voice turned a bit colder. "You can also persuade him to accept my arrangement."
"Me, persuade him?" Rosalie found it absurd.
This was utterly unreasonable! She hadn't even met the woman Sebastian was supposed to marry, so on what grounds could she persuade him to marry her? Besides, even if she had met that woman, whether Sebastian wanted to marry her or not was his business. Why should she persuade him?
If it were a woman Sebastian liked and he asked her for help, she would be willing to assist, like with Lily. Back then, Sebastian had asked her in the office how to pursue a girl.
She couldn’t—and wouldn’t—match him with a woman he didn't like.
"Yes, Rosalie. You can persuade him," Geoffrey repeated.
"Mr. Carter, have you talked to Sebastian? What if he has someone he likes…?"
"So what?" Geoffrey dismissed this. "Whether he likes or loves her doesn’t matter. Once he’s married, it all turns sour eventually. Marriages built on love don't last long. The marriages that stand the test of time are maintained by interests, with clear goals and a clear understanding of why one is getting married."
Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore)
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 !...
