Theodore grabbed Aurora's hand and pried her fingers away. "Go back and get some rest. Go to sleep and for all you know, I'll be back tomorrow morning."
He hoped he'd be back first thing tomorrow morning.
Not because he wanted to come back to Aurora, but because he wanted to find Rosalie as soon as possible.
Theodore turned around and held Aurora's shoulders.
Aurora's tear-streaked face and look of misery made Theodore say helplessly, "Aurora, don't invest too much emotions on me. I can't give you much."
He admitted that he was wrong. He had made it clear right from the start, but this woman was undaunted in sacrificing everything for him with no hesitation whatsoever.
He was moved by it and accepted her being Rosalie's replacement, using her to relive those happy moments during his marriage with Rosalie.
Yet, he still couldn't wipe Rosalie away from his memories. He was still living in the past, unable to extricate himself from it.
He wiped the tears from Aurora's face with guilt on his face and then kissed her forehead lightly. "Rest early."
With that, he turned to leave.
"Theo, Theo!" Aurora ran after him, sobbing hard.
But no matter how loudly she cried out for him, Theodore never turned back. He even quickened his pace so that she couldn't catch up with him.
At the stairwell, she saw him open the door and leave with no hesitation at all.
"Theo! Don't go, I'm begging you!"
Aurora collapsed on the floor with a thud.
"Theo, how could you do this to me? How could you?! I've given you everything, I've given you my all, how could you be like this?!"
Aurora sat crying on the floor for a long time.
She then walked despondently back to her room, pulled out her phone, and called her cousin.
She didn't know who else to call and her cousin seemed to be her only option.

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 !...
