Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore) novel Chapter 789

Wesley sighed internally. Sydney was a good woman, and she had said that comforting lie for Rebecca's sake.

Yet, even knowing it was a falsehood, Wesley felt a flicker of hope rise within him. He grasped Sydney's hand, seeking warmth from her touch. If only she could show him a bit of compassion, it would make him happy for days.

"Really?" Rebecca beamed at the news. "Sydney, you've finally forgiven Wesley!"

Sydney approached the bedside. "Yes, I've forgiven him."

Rebecca's joy was short-lived, and her expression turned serious again. "I know how terrible he was. Don't force yourself to forgive him for my sake. If you truly don't want to be with him, I will fully support you."

"Mom, that's not it. I want to forgive him. He knows he was wrong, and has been trying to make amends. I want to move on and live a good life," Sydney explained.

Wesley watched Sydney's back silently, feeling a lump in his throat, sadness washing over him. If only it were all true! But deep down, he knew Sydney was just comforting Rebecca.

Rebecca squeezed Sydney's hand. "Alright, dear, you do what makes you happy. No matter what, you will always be a Spencer."

Then Rebecca turned her attention to Wesley. "Wesley, come here."

Wesley walked over.

"Wesley, let me tell you this: If you ever hurt Sydney again, don't call me Mom anymore. I won't recognize you as my son. Do you understand?"

"I understand," Wesley choked out. "I won't hurt Sydney again. From now on, she can pick on me, and I won't dare retaliate."

"That's better. Look at you, a grown man crying. It's shameful! You need to set an example for your son so he doesn't turn out to be a jerk like you," Rebecca admonished.
