“Divorce?”
“Yes. Isn’t it a fake marriage? In that case, there has to be a limit. You won’t really spend the rest of your days with him, will you?” Sydney said.
“We’ll let nature take its course, I suppose. When he meets a lady he fancies, he’ll naturally divorce me.”
Sydney laughed sardonically.
“You’re even more generous and open-minded than I thought! Your divorce with Theo must have caused you to lose all expectations and reverence towards marriage in general. It’s become nothing but a tool that isn’t even all that important, is that it?”
“Yes,” Rosalie admitted frankly. “My marriage to Theo brought me nothing but pain and sorrow. Marriage means nothing to me right now, except maybe a tool that I might lend a friend if he needs it.”
Sydney had nothing to say in response to Rosalie’s words.
Rosalie didn’t even care about her own marriage, which was why she could easily make use of it to help a friend. Theodore had truly hurt her deeply, to the point she gave up all hope in marriage.
“What about your baby? If the Carters found out that you’re pregnant, are you going to make my grandson a member of their family?” Sydney asked.
“No, Mom.” Rosalie said. “This is my baby. I won’t let him have any relationship with the Carters whatsoever. I’ll give birth to my baby by myself. Of course, the Carters may find out about it, and that might be my chance to divorce Sebastian. After all these, they probably won’t make Sebastian marry another woman. I’m just temporarily helping him overcome this hurdle. We’ll talk about things in the future as they come.”
Sydney’s mind was in a daze, and she was rendered speechless.
Eventually, she said helplessly, “You might not find it a big deal to use your marriage to help a friend, but you forgot one thing.”
“What is it?” Rosalie asked.
Sydney said solemnly, “You forgot about what Sebastian truly feels. You might think of it as a fake marriage, but he might not think the same way. If he took it seriously and refuse to get a divorce, what are you going to do?”
“He won’t. Seb knows this is a fake marriage. We’ve made things clear between us. He’s a very nice man, and we’re friends.”
Rosalie clearly trusted him a lot.
“Is that so? Could a child who grew up under Geoffrey Carter really be an angel?” Sydney said. She refused to believe that a demon could raise an angel.
Sydney looked back at Rosalie, suddenly at a loss for what to say.
“Mom,” Rosalie went on. “I’m just a woman and a friend, not the police or a judge. From my own perspective, whoever treats me well, I’ll treat them well. This is a very straightforward question. If he really is a bad guy who did bad things, the police are around to deal with him. I just want to be sincere toward whoever treats me well.”
Sydney frowned. “Have you fallen in love with Sebastian?”
Rosalie’s heart sank.
“No,” she said.
“Really?” Sydney looked hard at her, as if trying to uncover clues from her eyes.
Rosalie evaded her gaze. “Really, I haven’t. I don’t want to love anyone right now.”
Theodore alone had completely broken her heart. Her broken heart had no capacity to care for another man.

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 !...
