Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore) novel Chapter 396

“Seb, you don't have to worry. Your father wasn't here to see me today, but my mother-in-law, the president of Apex Bank. I was just accompanying her. Nothing happened.”

“Really?”

“Really. If something had happened, would I still be sitting here talking to you? Don’t worry too much.”

Sebastian heaved a sigh of relief. “That's good. Rose, if you need to meet my father next time, let me know in advance. I didn't know about today’s meeting.”

“It’s fine, Seb. Your father wouldn’t do anything outrageous to me. By the way, do you know that he…”

“What about him?” Sebastian asked.

Rosalie suddenly remembered that Sydney was sitting next to her, so she said, “Seb, let’s talk about it next time we meet. Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious. I’m fine. I’m heading home now.”

“Alright, call me when you get home, just so I know that you're safe.”

“Okay, I will. Bye.” Rosalie hung up.

She turned, and saw Sydney staring meaningfully at her.

Feeling awkward, she forced herself to smile. “He called me because he was worried. He knows his father can be scary.”

“Oh, really?” Sydney said calmly. “Your friend is quite considerate.”

Rosalie nodded. “He’s a very good friend. Even though we haven't known each other for long, he treats me very well. I can’t be cold to someone who’s kind to me.”

She then received a message on her phone. It was from Sebastian.

“So, you don’t want to come?” Sydney’s voice rose a few notches.

Rosalie felt like a child terrified of her strict parent. She couldn’t understand why, but she was very afraid of her former mother-in-law. She had never been this scared of anyone else.

Sometimes, people just feared someone for no reason.

“No, of course not. I’ll come.”

“Good. I’ll take you home first. Once you’re home, rest and don’t go anywhere. When I’ve arranged things with Theo, I’ll send someone to pick you up. In the meantime, don’t meet your friend. If you delay things, I’ll be very upset,” Sydney said, sounding serious and stern.

Rosalie nodded. “Alright.”

Sydney was like an exceptionally fierce tiger mom.
