Soon, the car was filled with the fragrance of lilies. The scent was so comforting that Rosalie couldn’t help but say, “Grandma really loves lilies. That was thoughtful of you.”
She was sincere about her compliment.
“Grandma appreciates my thoughtfulness, but not others,” Theodore murmured as he continued driving.
Rosalie knew exactly what he meant. “If you mean suddenly declaring love, forcefully taking what you want, being domineering and disrespectful, then yes, it shouldn’t be appreciated.”
If she didn’t retort, it would seem like it was her fault for not appreciating his gestures.
“Then tell me, what should I do to make someone appreciate it?” Theodore asked.
Rosalie clenched her hands that were resting on her knees. She could feel her palms sweating. “Sometimes, if someone doesn’t want something, forcing it on them isn’t the best idea. Taking it back is.”
“I accidentally scattered it all to the ground. It can’t be taken back,” Theodore replied in a calm yet wistful tone. Both of them were staring straight ahead, but Rosalie felt things were getting really intense.
She glanced at his side profile, and realized he was tense. She wanted to say something, but was worried it would lead to another argument on the way to Rebecca's house. Not wanting to fight, she remained silent.
Their conversation ended with Theodore’s remark about not being able to take things back. Soon, they arrived at Rebecca's home without further incident.
Seeing Theodore and Rosalie delighted Rebecca. The two noticed that she was now in a wheelchair. The last time they saw her, she was still walking with a cane. Now, a servant had to push her out.
Both Theodore and Rosalie felt deeply guilty, realizing how much they had neglected their grandmother recently due to their own issues.

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 !...
