Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore) novel Chapter 426

Late at night, the Carter Residence was brightly lit.

Xyla was dressed neatly. Sitting at her dressing table, she yawned. A maid was doing her hair.

"So late, and still making a fuss," she grumbled.

The maid, who looked to be in her forties and seemed to have worked for Xyla for a long time, bent down and whispered in her ear, "Mrs. Carter, it's the first time Mr. Sebastian is bringing his girlfriend home. He must be eager for you to meet her."

"He brings a girlfriend home just after a marriage has been arranged for him. How timely." Xyla picked up a diamond hairpin from the dressing table, and put it against her hair. "I'll wear this one."

Xyla went downstairs with her maid’s help. Everyone in the living room was seated nicely.

Geoffrey glanced up at his wife, and said indifferently, "Come over and meet Miss Young."

Xyla slowly walked up and glanced at Rosalie, who stood up nervously from the sofa. "Hello, Mrs. Carter."

Xyla looked her up and down. "You’re Sebastian's girlfriend?"

Rosalie bit the bullet, and nodded with a smile. "Yes."

Xyla didn't say much and sat down a bit farther away from them, as if she wasn’t part of the group. There seemed to be some distance between her and Geoffrey.

Geoffrey didn't say much either, and turned to Rosalie. "Have a seat. No need to be so nervous."

After Rosalie sat down, Sebastian noticed she was tense. He gently patted the back of her hand.

Rosalie instinctively wanted to pull back, but then remembered they were supposed to be a couple. She smiled at him, pretending they were really together.

Geoffrey saw this, and smiled. "I remember you saying you two were just friends, Miss Young. Why come here so late at night claiming to be a couple now?"

His eyes were sharp as he looked at them with a half-smile. It was as if he had seen through everything, but chose not to expose them.
