Yvonne took a sip of her drink as she continued staring at her favorite couple. She silently cheered, "Go for it!"
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Sebastian asked when he saw that Rosalie was in a daze. He raised his hand, and waved it gently in front of her eyes. "What's going on, Rose? What's happened now?"
Rosalie quickly shook her head. "It's nothing. I just want to tell you something."
"What is it?"
Nervous, Rosalie tugged at the hem of her shirt. Finally, she lifted her head and said, "Didn't you mention before that we could have a fake marriage?"
Sebastian frowned. "Why bring that up?"
"Let's go see your father and tell him we're in a relationship. Even if you have to get married, you'll marry me," Rosalie said in one breath.
A look of surprise flashed across Sebastian's face. "Rose, do you know what you're saying?"
"I do." Rosalie raised her voice. "Seb, I know exactly what I'm saying. Let's go see your father right now."
She grabbed his hand and tried to lead him out, but Sebastian remained unmoved.
Feeling that he wasn’t moving, Rosalie turned around. "What's wrong? Don't you want to?"
Sebastian freed his hand gently from hers, and shook his head. "I don't want to."
"Why not?" Rosalie asked in confusion. "Didn't you propose this idea?"
"I did, but..." Sebastian sighed. "That was a last resort, and you rejected it, didn’t you?"
"But I've changed my mind." She had changed her mind the moment she saw Tammy using drugs.
"Rose, I don't want to put you on the spot." Sebastian looked worried. "I know you're willing to make this sacrifice for me, but I don't want you to."
"This isn't a sacrifice. We're friends, and I'm just helping you out."
If one didn’t help a loyal friend in need, then one wasn’t worthy of having a friend.
Standing aside, Yvonne wiped the tears from her eyes. Goodness, what Rosalie said was so touching! Even she was deeply moved.
Sebastian's eyes reddened as he silently stared at Rosalie. For a long time, he said nothing.
Rosalie tugged at his sleeve. "You’ve helped me through my toughest times. Now, let me help you through yours."
"Seb, you should agree," Yvonne cut in.
Yvonne couldn't stand it any longer. She rushed forward, grabbed Sebastian's arm, and shook it hard.
"This is the perfect solution! Dad can accept Rose as a daughter-in-law. If you two get a fake marriage, he won't force you to marry anyone else. It's just a fake marriage to get you through this crisis."
Sebastian raised his hand, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Rosalie's eyes. Then, he nodded.

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 !...
