Aurora couldn't believe it. She felt as if she was looking into a mirror; only with the comparison did she realize how much she resembled Rosalie.
"How can this be? How is this possible?"
Suddenly, Aurora became aware of something. She turned to stare in shock at the man before her.
"Did you find me because I look like Theodore's ex-wife? Is this all part of your plan?" A strong sense of unease surged within her. "Who exactly are you?"
"I'm someone who wants to help Theodore, but I also want to help you. Tell me, do you love him?" Yerick looked at her with a half-smile.
Aurora felt a bit nervous. "I… I've only known him for a short time. How could I possibly…"
"You love him." Yerick interrupted her, seemingly able to see through everything. "Don't avoid your own feelings. Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. I just don't want to see Theodore get hurt anymore. You saw it when you tried to save him; he nearly died. All of this is because of his ex-wife and her current husband."
Yerick's expression grew serious, and his gaze was sharp.
"Since you know this, why didn't you save him? Why did you let me do it? If you don't give me a reason, why should I trust you?" Aurora asked.
"Because even if I saved him, he would go back to his ex-wife, risking his life for her again and again, getting hurt each time," Yerick said sorrowfully.
He stood up.
"Do you know why I cut ties with him? Because I stopped him every time he went to see his ex-wife. I could have saved him the day you rescued him, but even if I did, he would still repeat this cycle. It would only be a temporary fix. That's why I sought you out."
Yerick leaned closer to her.
"Of course. I need to ensure his safety."
"Who exactly are you?"
"Do you still not believe me? Are you afraid I want to harm Theodore?"
Yerick then added calmly, "Think about it. If I wanted to harm him, why would I send you to save him? Why would I go through such lengths? Everything I'm doing is to save him. I want to address the root of the problem and not just the symptoms, so it requires some painful measures.
"Miss Payne, I won't force you. If you don't want to help him, then this will be our first and last meeting. I won't come looking for you again. But if you want to help him, we must work together.
"So, what do you say, Miss Payne?"

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 !...
