“Grandma,” Yvonne said, filled with melancholy, “Is Mom feeling very miserable right now?”
“Not just that. I saw her crying so hard this morning. She doesn’t want the divorce at all, but your dad…” Chandra held Yvonne’s hand. “Vonnie, don’t blame me for speaking ill of him, but I think he must have a mistress. That’s why he’s divorcing your mom.”
“What?” Yvonne yelped in shock. “Grandma, are you sure about that?”
Chandra said, “I heard that he had a girlfriend many years ago, whom he broke up to marry my daughter. We didn’t investigate this thoroughly. Someone heard him calling a woman who seemed to be his first lover. I suspect that they’re hooking up again now, which is why your dad asked your mom for a divorce. Otherwise, why would he ask for one when they’ve been married for over thirty years?”
“Grandma, I’ll go ask Dad.” Yvonne stood up in a huff.
Chandra grabbed her arm. “Silly girl, will he tell you even if you went to him?”
“Then what should we do, Grandma? If this is true, he’s too much!”
Both were family to her. One was her mother, while the other was her father. Yvonne was already very upset about their divorce, but if it really turned out to be her father’s fault, she would certainly side with her mom.
“Vonnie, you’ve seen how your mom lived over the years. So what if she doesn’t need to worry about money? She doesn’t have her husband’s care and love. In all fairness, your mom doted dearly on you, while your dad doesn’t care much about you. It’s said that it’s better to be with a poor mom than a rich dad. A father can never compare to a mother. You have to stand on your mom’s side and not allow her to be bullied.”
Chandra choked back tears, which were threatening to fall.
“Grandma, I’ll do that. But have you told Seb about this?”

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 !...
