A few days later, Sydney and Aurora sat opposite each other at a table in a restaurant.
The waiter approached their table with some menus in hand.
Aurora sat opposite Sydney, feeling very nervous.
The last time they contacted each other, Sydney was the one who reached out, telling her that something had happened to Theodore and asking her to go see him at the hospital.
Aurora was very anxious at that time and hurried to the hospital. At that time, she didn't see Sydney in person. They only talked over the phone.
She didn't expect Sydney to contact her again and ask her out one week later.
This was Aurora's first time being in such a high-class restaurant. She felt slightly nervous.
What made her more nervous was sitting opposite the mother of the man she loved.
Theodore's mother was beautiful, graceful in her every move. With such a beautiful mother, it was no wonder that he looked so handsome.
Sydney was a comforting testimony for Aurora that she might age as gracefully as Sydney did, looking dazzling even in her 40s or 50s. Sydney's beauty was refined by the passage of time, accentuated by an air of mature confidence.
Seeing Aurora's face, Sydney said, "Ms. Payne, feel free to order anything you like. My treat."
"Mrs. Harper, there's no need for that."
"Why not? I'd like to thank you for what you did before. I called you, and you immediately went to see Theodore. Of course I'd seize this chance to express my gratitude. How about this? If you're not picky, I can order for the both of us."
"Mrs. Harper, I'm not picky. Please go ahead and order for us. This menu is too fancy, I don't really understand the items on it."
"Alright, let me do the honors."
Aurora's anxious expression did bear some resemblance to Rosalie. She looked very much like Rosalie when the latter was young and had just joined the Spencers. The fearful and shy look on her face made her look like a frightened little rabbit that somehow wandered to a strange and unfamiliar place.
"Don't worry. Even if I do have something to say to you, it wouldn't be anything upsetting. I won't scold you or tell you to keep your distance from my son. Otherwise, I wouldn't have called you to ask you to go see him," Sydney explained.
She tried to be as gentle with her words as possible, knowing what Aurora might feel worried.
Aurora heaved a sigh of relief at Sydney's words.
"Ms. Payne, may I call you Aurora? Do you mind that?" Sydney asked.
"I don't mind that," Aurora said. "Mrs. Harper, feel free to call me whatever you like."
"Alright, I'll call you Aurora then. I feel like we're strangers when I call you Ms. Payne. You look like you have a good relationship with Theo, too. Feel free to come visit us at our house next time."

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 !...
