Aurora's tear-filled eyes made her appear pitiful, like a frightened kitten. She seemed so delicate that it naturally drew sympathy from others and made them disregard what had happened.
"Aurora, let me see." Theodore gently pulled Aurora's hand away and saw a clear handprint on her face.
He was furious. How much force had that slap taken?
Turning his head in anger, he demanded, "Rosalie, why did you hit her?"
He used to call her "Rose" affectionately, but now, for Aurora's sake, it was back to "Rosalie", as though everything had come full circle and returned to how things were before.
Back then, he had also defended Cynthia in the same way.
Rosalie's hands, hanging at her sides, trembled. "Because her mouth is filthy and vile."
"What did you say?" Theodore frowned, glancing at Aurora, who shook her head desperately.
"I… I just accidentally ended up here and wanted to chat with her. I don't know why she became so angry suddenly. I really don't."
Aurora appeared greatly frightened, clutching Theodore tightly, looking lost and vulnerable.
Her pitiful appearance ached Theodore's heart and intensified his anger.
"Rosalie, don't slander her. Aurora would never do something like that," he snapped.
Rosalie hadn't expected Theodore to believe her. If Aurora dared to use such tactics, it showed she knew Theodore well enough to exploit his weaknesses.
Back when Theodore was with Cynthia, it was the same. Cynthia played innocent and cried her way through every situation.
Theodore always believed Cynthia. Now, Cynthia had simply been replaced by Aurora.
Theodore was drawn to such fragile women and believed in them easily. What could be done about it? It was his nature to pity them.
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 !...
