"Is that what you really think, Dad?"
"And what about you?" Geoffrey asked. "You're not dumb. You and Sebastian have hidden some things from me. You should know better than anyone who Rose truly loves."
Yvonne suddenly fell silent. Geoffrey raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder. "Vonnie, you wouldn't want to see your brother get hurt, would you?"
"But what if my brother is destined to get hurt? What should be done if he ultimately finds out that Rose is someone he cannot love, and that he can't acknowledge her child as his own? What, then?" Yvonne asked.
This secret was known only to her and Christopher, and her father didn't know about it yet.
"Why does your brother need to know that Rose is someone he can't love? Sometimes, being a little foolish in love isn't a bad thing."
Geoffrey thought of his own relationship with Sydney. Sydney was someone he couldn't love, either. She was Wesley's wife, yet he still wanted her desperately, even going so far as to threaten her just to spend a little time with her.
His son loved someone else's wife in the same way. They were truly father and son, both equally stubborn.
Seeing the self-mocking smile on Geoffrey's face, Yvonne was a little confused. It seemed like he was talking about himself.
She couldn't help but feel indignant on her mother's behalf. "Dad, was my mom the foolish one in your relationship?"
Yvonne didn't understand why Geoffrey didn't love Xyla. She had thought Geoffrey was just fickle and fond of younger women, but to her surprise, he had found an older woman—another man's wife, no less.
Yvonne would have preferred her father to chase after young and beautiful women. At least she could believe he wasn't truly in love with them, and that it was just his preference.
If he chased after young women, he would move on after a while and wouldn't invest his feelings. Yet, the woman he got involved in was Sydney.
Yvonne was afraid that Geoffrey was in love with Sydney. If that was the case, it had nothing to do with youth or beauty anymore.
At the mention of Xyla, Geoffrey frowned. "Vonnie, haven't I already told you that your mother and I are divorced? Stop bringing this up."
Yvonne suppressed her emotions, and said, "I understand, Dad. I'm going to the restroom."
Yvonne purposely went to a more secluded restroom and waited there.
When she saw a servant, she quickly approached her. "Wait a moment."
The servant asked, "Miss Carter, is there something you need?"
"When did Sydney Harper start coming to my father's place?" Yvonne asked solemnly.
The servant was startled, and quickly shook her head. "I don't know."
Yvonne pulled a few bills out of her purse, and handed them to the servant. "Now, do you know?"
Comments
The readers' comments on the novel: Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore)
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 !...
