"So… How are things going with Miss Payne?" Sydney's tone carried a hint of probing.
Theodore remained silent.
After a moment, Sydney asked, "Theo, is something wrong?"
"Do you really want me to get along well with Aurora? I want you to be honest with me," Theodore said.
Sydney was silent for a few seconds before she spoke. "Yes, I think she's a good match for you. Since things are over between you and Rose, why not embrace a new relationship?"
A new relationship? Theodore let out a mocking laugh. "Mom, when I was with Cynthia, why didn't you approve of her like this? But now, with Aurora, you do?"
"Aurora is a better fit than Cynthia. Back then, I thought there was still a chance between you and Rosalie, but things are different now. Rosalie has already married Sebastian. She's moved on."
Sebastian. It was always Sebastian.
Theodore's heart hurt as if it were being cut by a knife. He was also furious.
"Let me ask you something. Were you aware of Rosalie's pregnancy all along?" Theodore asked.
Sydney's heart skipped a beat. "Theo, have you found out? Have you seen them?"
Hearing her answer, Theodore gripped the bedsheet tightly, his knuckles turning white. "So you did know all along. Why didn't you tell me? Why?"
"I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you, but… but at the time, Rose didn't want me to say anything. She didn't think it was necessary."
The worst had happened. Theodore now knew that Rosalie was pregnant with his child, and that she had given birth.
Sydney felt a deep sadness. Theodore must be devastated.
She had no idea what method Sebastian had used to give Theodore this impression.
Sydney had nearly let the truth slip out just now. She had thought Theodore knew, but now she realized he didn't.
The cat was still in the bag, as if fate itself were aiding Sebastian, leaving her with no recourse.
After a long while, Sydney sighed. "Theo, I'm sorry. I didn't tell you because I was afraid it would break your heart. After all, she was pregnant with Sebastian's child, and back then, you were in a dark place. I was worried you wouldn't handle it well."
Saying such a lie pained Sydney deeply. Both men were her sons, and she found herself caught in an impossible position.
"So, this was all for my own good, wasn't it?" Theodore retorted.
Sydney remained silent, not knowing what to say.

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 !...
