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.
"Rosalie Young, why are you still trying to steal Theo away from me? You already have Sebastian, why do all the men love you? Why should they? Why are you still snatching him from me?"
Aurora grabbed a pillow.
"You're just shameless! You're upset seeing Theodore with another woman, aren't you? You're so wicked, I'll never let you have your way! Theo is an amazing man. I can't let a wicked woman like you have him!"
Aurora took a deep breath.
Don't be anxious, she told herself.
'Do not be anxious. Don't let Theodore hate you. You have to be benevolent,' Aurora reminded herself.
Men loved generous women. The more generous she was, the more his heart would ache for her. He wouldn't like her if she were vitriolic.
In the silent night, moonlight shone through the branches, tracing the silhouette of the villa and giving off a feeble glow.
An imposing aura filled the room and time felt as though it froze in there. Dim light shone against the wall, accentuating the dark shadows and bringing an inexplicable sense of doom.

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 !...
