Half an hour later, Sebastian left the Carter Residence. Geoffrey sat alone in the living room, looking around at the empty space. Not far away, Phillip stood watch.
It had always been like this—a master and his servant. Whether it was his son, daughter, or wife, none of them came home regularly. He truly was a good husband and father; so good that they all chose not to return.
Just as he was about to leave, a middle-aged man with an imposing presence and a commanding aura walked in.
"Hello, Brother-in-law."
Geoffrey looked up, and was surprised to see him. "What brings you here?"
"I came to see you." The man walked forward, adjusted his coat, and sat beside Geoffrey casually, as if this were his home too. "And to talk about my sister."
His sister was Xyla Jackson, Geoffrey’s wife. The man, Christopher, was Xyla’s second older brother. He was a few years younger than Geoffrey.
Geoffrey remained calm. "Are you here to criticize?"
Christopher said, "Not exactly. I'm just worried about Xyla, who’s been living at our family home. I know very well how she’s been treated at the Carter Residence."
Geoffrey said, "She is the lady of the house, and lives in luxury. I haven’t wronged her in the slightest, nor have I ever laid a finger on her."
"I’m aware of that," Christopher said calmly. "But Xyla is unhappy, and only you and her know why."
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 !...
