The lost look in Rosalie’s eyes made Christopher chuckle awkwardly as he tried to remain polite. “Pardon me. Are you upset that I’ve mentioned him?”
“No. It’s just that we’re divorced, and I don’t really want to talk about him,” Rosalie said.
Rosalie felt a dull ache in her chest. She hardly talked to others about Theodore, and always avoided talking bad about him behind his back. Yet he kept misunderstanding her, thinking she was going around talking ill about him when she did nothing of the sort.
Even now, she didn’t want to do that.
Christopher nodded. “Alright, let’s not talk about him. Let’s talk about you. Do you have any siblings?”
Rosalie shook her head. “I’m an only child, with no siblings.”
“Oh, I see. Your parents must dote on you a lot.”
The mention of her parents ached Rosalie’s heart once more. “Yeah. A pity that they passed away very early on.”
If her parents hadn’t died, there would probably have been no chance of Theodore and her meeting. Perhaps all these tragedies wouldn’t have happened.
“How did they pass away?” Christopher asked.
Rosalie recounted her parent’s story to him.
After listening to Rosalie, Christopher remained silent for a while before saying, “I see. It hasn’t been easy for you at all.”
Rosalie smiled bitterly. “The silver lining is that someone adopted me, and gave me a comfortable life and a good education. I’ve always been grateful for that.”
Christopher nodded. “Your parents would be very glad to know you’ve grown up well.”

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 !...
