Chapter 81
Rosalie suddenly didn’t know what to say. Her mother–in–law’s.
attitude change was too drastic. So, why had she been so nice to Cynthia? Was it just to hit her hard at this moment, or had she been speaking sarcastically? Rosalie couldn’t understand.
Unable to hold back any longer, Cynthia hurriedly said, “Aunt, I also looked at the divorce papers. Theo really did give her a lot, especially since they’ve only been married for a year. Not many men are as generous as him. And anyway, Rosalie doesn’t seem to have done anything for the Spencer family, so…”
“What do you consider as contributing to the family, Ms. Zeller?” Sydney frowned, seeming somewhat displeased. “Do you think. dividing property in a marriage depends on contributions? Do you think marriage is a job where the more you do, the more you get paid? Are you likening Rose to a nanny?”
Though momentarily stunned, Cynthia quickly recovered and said, ” Aunt, that’s not what I meant.
Sydney smiled. “I know you definitely didn’t mean that. After all, you come from a wealthy family, Ms. Zeller. You certainly wouldn’t care if your future husband gives half of his assets to his ex–wife, right? You want to marry my son not for money, but for love. You would still marry him even if he had nothing, right?”
Cynthia was speechless, caught off guard by Sydney’s question.
Seeing Cynthia’s stunned expression, Sydney continued, “What’s wrong, Ms. Zeller? Are you more interested in my son’s money than
him?”
“No, of course not!” Cynthia hastily protested. “Aunt, of course, I love him. Even if he had nothing, my feelings wouldn’t change. It’s just that
I don’t really understand how property division in a divorce works, especially since I’ve never been married.”

“That’s understandable. You really don’t understand the situation between Rose and Theo. After all, they’ve kno… each other for ten years and practically grew up together. What’s half of his assets? Even if they get divorced, they’ll still be like siblings. I’m sure they’ll keep in touch often. If Rose encounters any difficulties, Theo will always help her.”
Sydney’s words sounded calm, like everything she was saying was a matter of fact, but Cynthia’s expression was the complete opposite.
“Aunt, once they get divorced, Rosalie will probably have her own life, right?”
“She’ll have her own life, but she won’t cut off contact with Theo. Just like you and Theo, right? Although Theo married Rose, he still fooled around with you. So, if Theo marries you in the future, why can’t he continue to contact Rose?” Sydney said.
Cynthia’s expression suddenly turned ugly, finally realizing that Sydney was mocking her. From start to end, the older woman had never intended to like her and had just been pretending.
Rosalie also finally understood. Sydney had first lulled Cynthia into a false sense of security, then delivered a heavy blow. Indeed, her mother–in–law was skilled. In contrast, Rosalie hadn’t been able to control her temper and had directly splashed water on Cynthia.
“Aunt, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by Theo and I fooling around? We were originally a couple.”

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 !...
