“Even if I told you, you wouldn’t know. Anyway, we’ll be away for about a month. During that time, Sebastian and Rose will handle the family affairs,” Geoffrey said.
For Sebastian, it was somewhat of a relief that his parents would be away for a while. “Alright, I understand. I’ll take care of the company and family affairs.”
Geoffrey responded, “Good. Since your mother and I will be on vacation and there will be no one at home, you and Rose should stay here for now.”
Sebastian was afraid Rosalie might feel uncomfortable staying in his parents' house, so he said, “Dad, since Rose and I are married, I plan to buy a new house. So I think…”
“We’re not stopping you from buying one,” Geoffrey said. “It’s just that while your mother and I are away, you two can stay here temporarily. You can buy your own place, and after your mother and I return, you can move out. I know you don’t want to live with us.”
“This...” Sebastian still wanted to refuse, but Rosalie noticed that Geoffrey seemed displeased. It was clear Geoffrey had made a concession, and living together for now was acceptable.
So, she gently tugged on Sebastian’s sleeve and said to Geoffrey, “Okay, Mr. Carter. Sebastian and I will stay here while you’re away.”
Geoffrey smiled, looking much kinder. “You still call me Mr. Carter. You should call us Geoffrey and Xyla now.”
Rosalie forced a smile, and said, “Geoffrey, Xyla.”
Geoffrey nodded, satisfied. “You’re very smart, and you can help Sebastian. Most importantly, he’s happy with you and won’t complain about me being too domineering.”
Rosalie responded, “I’ll do my best to help Seb.”
Geoffrey turned to Xyla. “Xyla, this is your daughter-in-law. Don’t you have anything to say?”
Xyla preferred to be invisible, but she was brought into the conversation once again. She smiled and said, “Rose, I don’t know much about you, but since Sebastian likes you, there must be a reason. I wish you both happiness.”
“Thank you, Xyla.”
Rosalie’s heart raced at hearing “Sebastian likes you.” Fortunately, it was a fake marriage. What they had was just friendship.
After lunch, Geoffrey called Sebastian to his study. They talked privately for over an hour before Sebastian came out.
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 !...
