Hearing the last two words, Rosalie immediately understood what Yvonne meant. She couldn't even bear to imagine the scene, and shuddered.
"We have to save Seb. Is your father insane? Even if he wants a marriage of convenience for your brother, he should find someone normal!"
"My dad doesn't care about that. He’ll take whoever benefits him, regardless of their character. Not only is the Jones family wealthy, but they also have powerful backers. My father values power," Yvonne said.
Rosalie huffed angrily. "In his eyes, power is more important than his own son!"
Seeing Rosalie a bit out of breath, Yvonne put her arm around her shoulder. "Let me take you outside to get some fresh air."
She then led Rosalie out of the club. The air outside was much better, and Rosalie took deep breaths. She had felt so suffocated inside.
"I'm sorry, Rose. I shouldn't have brought you here today. It must have scared you," Yvonne said.
"It's okay. Thank you for bringing me here. If you didn’t, I could have only watched as Seb got married."
"But how can we stop it? My brother certainly doesn't want to marry her, but..." Yvonne said, confused. She sighed. "You know my father. He doesn't care about any of that."
Rosalie thought about what Geoffrey had said to her before—that he approved of her as Sebastian’s partner.
"Rose? What's wrong?" Seeing Rosalie lost in thought, Yvonne was a bit worried, and held her arm. "Don't worry. No matter what, as long as my brother's status and position are secure, he won't be kicked out of the family. In life, you can't have both career and happiness. You have to give up one."
"Why must you give up one?" Rosalie turned around. "You can have both, but you’re forced to give up one, as if it's something you must experience in life. It's so unfair!"
"There's nothing we can do. Life is unfair," Yvonne said. "Sometimes, we have to face reality."

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 !...
