“Rose, can you first promise me that even if you get angry at me after I tell you about it, you won’t leave me? I’ll change. I know I did wrong, and it’s been eating away at my conscience.”
“Seb, quick, tell me what this is about,” Rosalie said.
She felt increasingly uneasy the more Sebastian spoke about it. She wasn’t worried about the wrong he did, but that he would fall ill from keeping his feelings to himself.
Sebastian wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes with the napkin. “I had a fight with Theodore yesterday at the restaurant.”
Rosalie nodded. “I know. It’s not your fault. I’m sure it was him who bullied you. He’s done it many times, and even fought with you before. I know it’s not your fault, so don’t blame yourself for it.”
“No, I do blame myself for it. Rose, hear me out, won’t you?”
Rosalie nodded. “I will. Take your time and tell me about it. I’m listening.”
“After the meal yesterday, you left for a short while. The woman with Theodore left, too. Theodore and I were the only ones left. Theodore didn’t look very pleased with me, and kept looking at me strangely. After that, we had an argument, during which he kept hinting that you’re his woman and that he’d snatch you back one day. Although he didn’t explicitly say that, his words angered me. Rose, can you understand how I feel? The things he said…”
“I can,” Rosalie said as she held his hand. “Seb, I really can understand. Anyone would get angry. I know the kind of person he is, and the nonsense he’s capable of spouting.”
“I was so overwhelmed with anger at that time,” Sebastian went on. “He said things that angered me. I was so furious, I charged toward him to question his claims. I even wanted to hit him because I was so angry. I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
“It’s alright, I understand how you feel. He angers people easily. Even I lost control and hit him before, not to mention you. You don’t need to apologize to me over this.”
He held her hand tight.
“Rose, you’re angry at me, aren’t you?”
Rosalie pulled her hand away and said in shock, “Why did you do something like that? No matter how angry you were, you shouldn’t have framed someone else!”
Although Rosalie didn’t sound angry, and even sounded calm, the disbelief in her eyes was an indication of how taken aback she was.
In her eyes, Sebastian was an upright man, chivalrous and righteous in everything he did. How could he possibly do something so sinister?

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 !...
