Chasing My Pregnant Wife Chapter 160
When Theodore woke up, he found Rosalie sitting by his bedside. For a moment, he thought he was dreaming. However, the intense discomfort in his body reminded him that this was reality."You're awake. How do you feel?" Rosalie tried to restrain how concerned she felt."Why are you here?" Theodore's voice was hoarse, and his lips were cracked."Is it weird for me to be here? Unless you've told everyone not to let anyone know you're here, like last time at the resort."Theodore frowned."Are you here to divorce me?"Rosalie glanced at the time on her phone. "It's too late to divorce today. Even if we go there, we won't get to our turn in the queue. After all, more and more people are getting divorced these days."How many marriages these days were happy?Theodore felt uncomfortable lying down for so long. He wanted to sit up for a while, but Rosalie pressed down on his shoulder. "Don't move."She pressed a button, and the head of the bed raised up. Soon, Theodore was sitting up

If Rosalie had known everything earlier and that he had never cut ties with Cynthia, she wouldn't have married him in the first place. Both of them fell into silence.Later, Rosalie spoke again. "I've already got the resident register. You must have heard from Caleb, right?"Theodore grunted. "How did you get it?""Grandma called me over and had a talk with me. It turns out she knew we were going to divorce a long time ago. She heard the conversation we had on my birthday night, and she also knew Cynthia had come back."Theodore frowned. "How did Grandma react?""Why, are you worried she’ll be upset?""Grandma’s old and not in good health," he said."Is she? I don't think you see it that way.""What do you mean?" There was annoyance in his eyes."Nothing much. Maybe you still blame Grandma for forcing you to marry me, and not letting you be with Cynthia."Rosalie didn't believe Theodore had no resentment towards Rebecca at all. Theodore forced a smile, and said, "She'

A few days later, Rosalie was sitting with Rebecca, knitting a sweater. These past few days, she had been spending time with Rebecca."Rose, when are you and Theo planning to divorce?" Rebecca asked.Rosalie smiled lightly. "Grandma, he's been a bit busy these days. We'll do it when he's less occupied. But don't worry. Even if I divorce him, I'll still come to see you often. You'll always be my grandmother.""I just want you to be happy soon. How busy can he be? He doesn't even have an hour to spare for a divorce."Before, it was Rebecca who didn't want them to divorce. Now, it seemed she was urging them to split up. A topic that used to be sensitive could now be discussed easily."He's indeed very busy, Grandma. There's a lot going on with the company, and as the CEO, there's a lot he has to take care of...""Enough," Rebecca interrupted her. "Don't hide things from me. I know he's in the hospital."Rosalie's heart skipped a beat. She looked up, the knitting needle almost prick

During lunchtime, Rebecca invited both Wesley and Sydney to join them.Rosalie thought it would just be a family lunch, but she didn't expect Cynthia to show up as well. She had a faint feeling of what Rebecca meant by not letting her be mistreated for nothing.She worried that Rebecca might reprimand Cynthia here, which would worsen Rebecca’s relationship with Theo if he found out. She tried to persuade Rebecca not to do so, but the latter reassured her and told her not to worry, because she wouldn't lose her temper at the dining table.Rosalie couldn't disobey Rebecca. Either way, Cynthia had already been called, and it was too late to do anything about it.The five of them sat at the table, the atmosphere unusually quiet. Wesley kept staring at Sydney, but Sydney just ignored him and ate her food as if no one else were around. Rosalie looked at Rebecca with confusion.Rebecca smiled at Cynthia. "Ms. Zeller. This is our first formal meeting, isn't it?"Although Rebecca was

Cynthia smiled, and said, "I'm not yet married to Theo, so I naturally wouldn't assume the title of Mrs. Spencer. That would be unreasonable. Rosalie is the current Mrs. Spencer, and I understand that.""Understand?" Rebecca wiped her mouth with a napkin, and placed it on the table. "Ms. Zeller, you're indeed knowledgeable and reasonable enough to understand the situation concerning Theo's current wife."Cynthia wasn't dumb. She could sense the veiled implications in those words, but all she could do was maintain politeness and continue smiling.The Spencers didn't like her at all. It seemed that no matter how hard she tried, it was futile. Well, as long as she clung to Theo, everything else didn't matter. The old lady was old, and would die soon anyway.She couldn't understand what was wrong with the Spencers. Had they lost their minds? Were they stubborn as mules? They only recognized Rose. She was just a poor and pathetic woman!Among the Spencers, it seemed only Theodore was

"Grandma, why are you bringing up that surgery out of nowhere? Cindy’s already been through a lot. You don't need to..." Theodore began. "Quiet!" Rebecca interrupted him. "I'm talking to Ms. Zeller. What's it to you?""Yes, Theo," Sydney chimed in. "Let your grandmother finish speaking. Don't get anxious. It's not like she's going to beat her up or anything."Theodore didn't know what to say, and Cynthia was extremely nervous."Ms. Zeller, is your health not so great now because of that surgery? I heard there were also some issues with your heart. Please answer the question," Rebecca asked again.Cynthia nodded. "Yes.""Okay," Rebecca continued. "Your surgery had complications because the donor's arrival was delayed, which caused one of your lungs to fail. I heard that the reason for the delay was me. Apparently, I deliberately obstructed it, and used your surgery to threaten Theo."Cynthia's face went pale. "Ma'am, why are you suddenly saying this? I don't understand what you
Chasing My Pregnant Wife Chapter 166
Cynthia was reduced to tears. “Theo, you must believe me. I swear I didn’t say that to Rosalie.”Theodore tried to speak up for Cynthia. “She’s already explained that she didn’t say that. Maybe Rose misheard her, and there was a misunderstanding.”“Misunderstanding? Ha ha ha…” Rebecca laughed. “What kind of misunderstanding will make her think that I want to harm her? Is she refusing to admit her own words? You think Rose might have misheard her, but I’m of the opinion that she’s changing her words now.”“Ma’am, how am I supposed to admit that I said something I didn’t? I’m not lying to you, I…”“Cynthia Zeller,” Rebecca cut her off, “I don’t care whether you’re slandering me or you’re hinting that I’m the one who did it. Either way, you’re sowing discord on purpose. Let me make myself clear. I did not stop you from going through the procedure. Even if you were just guessing, you’re maliciously trying to create a rift between me and Theodore. What a wicked woman you are!”“I’m not

Rosalie chuckled in disbelief. “I’m sorry, Grandma, but I think it’s not appropriate for me to stay here any longer. I’ll head to the hall now while you guys continue.”She really didn’t want to stay here a moment longer. She was pregnant, and getting agitated might be detrimental to her baby.“Sure, Rose. Leave this to me and go.”Rosalie then left the dining room.-She headed to the hall by herself and settled down on the couch, her blood boiling.Cynthia was clearly putting on an act—everyone could tell, with the sole exception of Theodore.So, it was true that love is blind and a man in love would certainly be biased. In the mind of a man in love, there was no such thing as logic and objective truth!Instead of blaming Cynthia for creating a rift between everyone and saying something like this, he chose to blame Rosalie for mentioning it in the first place. She was exasperated at his line of thought.After a while, she heard footsteps coming toward her. She turned to se

A surge of intense emotion welled up in Justin's chest. He pulled Rosalie into his arms and held her tightly.Rosalie wrapped her trembling hands around his waist."Rose, do you know what you're saying?" Justin's tone was heavy, almost accusatory. He needed to hear her say it with certainty, not just in a moment of impulse."Justin, I love you. Don't go, okay? I don't want you to leave."Some words were difficult to say, but once spoken, they could no longer be contained.She didn't know exactly when she had fallen in love with Justin. Maybe it was from the first time they met when he shielded her in his arms, or when she learned about his tragic past and felt sympathy for him. Or perhaps it was the accumulation of moments over time—his gentleness, his kindness, the way he cared for and protected her. In this seemingly cold and ruthless man, she saw goodness, and she couldn't help but fall for him.Now, she was sure. She wanted to be with him. The thought of never seeing him again dro

The next day, Rosalie was distracted at work, staring at the numbers on the computer screen until they blurred before her eyes.The entire morning passed in a daze.Last night, she had sent Justin a message asking for the exact time of his flight today. He told her it was departing from Vlodon Airport at 2.30 PM.It was already 1.00 PM now. A sudden wave of anxiety surged within Rosalie.She had initially decided not to see him off as she couldn't bear the pain of parting. But now, an overwhelming emotion rose within her.She couldn't let him leave.Rosalie immediately shut down her computer and hurriedly left her desk.She drove straight to the airport, calling Justin multiple times on the way, but he never picked up.The airport was vast and crowded. Rosalie had no idea where Justin was. She could only search for him based on his flight time, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't spot him in the sea of people.She kept calling him and sending him messages.[Justin, please

Rosalie's nose tingled, and tears fell down her cheeks uncontrollably."Justin, I don't know what to do. I'm so scared. I don't know what the future holds."Hearing these words, Justin felt as if a knife had pierced his heart. It hurt."You're right. I'm scared too. I don't know what the future will be like either, so let's just leave it at this. Stay with Theodore—your bond spans over a decade. You once loved him so much. You have a child together, while I'm just an outsider. How could I ever compare?""Justin, don't say that."If one met the right person, even a minute was enough to fall in love with them. But if it was the wrong person, even decades together wouldn't stop both people from growing weary of each other.Justin sighed. "Then what should I say? After all those years with him, does he really have no place in your heart?"Rosalie lowered her head. "I…""Rose, don't deny it. He'll always have a place in your heart."It was easier to see things clearly as an outsider. That w

Dinner was pleasant and harmonious.After the meal, the three of them sat in the living room and chatted. The atmosphere was especially warm and relaxed.Most of the conversation between Rosalie and Theodore revolved around the book she was about to write.Rosalie asked Theodore many questions, and he answered each one carefully, offering his advice. In this field, he was indeed more knowledgeable than Rosalie as he had years of experience. His insights were sharp, whether viewed from a macro or micro perspective.As their discussion grew more complex, it reached a level where others could no longer understand.Justin sat silently on the couch, watching them. Even though he didn't understand their conversation, he wasn't annoyed. His gaze remained fixed on Rosalie.It was as if he couldn't find a place in their discussion, nor did he want to interrupt. So, he simply watched them quietly.Unknowingly, time slipped away, and it was already 9.30 PM. Justin glanced at the clock.His gaze l

"It's great to hear you say that! Once I've got a draft, you'll be the first to read it. If there are any mistakes or areas that need improvement, you have to point them out," Rosalie said.Theodore nodded and replied gently, "I can't wait to read it."Sitting quietly to the side, Justin watched their interaction. For a moment, he felt that the two of them were truly a perfect match. After everything they had been through, they could still share a meal and discuss these matters. They shared the same interests and values.And what about himself? Did he and Rosalie have anything in common? He knew nothing about finance. He was just a cold-blooded assassin. Only when he was with Rosalie did he feel like an ordinary person, but in reality, his true identity was one he could never reveal to anyone.Theodore was different. He was born into a prestigious family, had a high status in society, and had remarkable knowledge.Rosalie should be with Theodore. Only he could give her the life she de

Theodore asked, "Then how do we know whether this so-called financial critic is telling the truth or not? After all, not everything is just a rumor.""Exactly! That's a great question," Rosalie replied with a smile. "This brings us to credibility and information verification. I want to clearly address this in my book and discuss how to determine the credibility of financial information, much like verifying sources on the internet. I can share methods for cross-checking company reports, financial data, and news sources."If a company is indeed facing an issue, we need to analyze the specifics—what kind of issue it is, whether it can be resolved, or if it is just a normal part of a business cycle. Sometimes, we can't just focus on a single point; we have to take a macro perspective. "It's like a person with a mole on their face—if someone isolates that mole and uses it to argue that the person is not human, that wouldn't make sense. The mole is merely a part of the person, but it doesn

Rosalie eventually agreed to Theodore's suggestion to fetch her home on a helicopter.Instead of going to the car park to get her car, Rosalie went to the top floor and waited there. Very soon, a helicopter arrived and she hopped on. She managed to reach home in less than forty minutes.Rosalie remarked to herself that it was indeed good to be rich.When she walked into the living room, she saw Justin and Theodore playing with Steve.They blindfolded Steve and randomly exchanged positions, and made him guess where his father was. Steve sometimes burrowed in Theodore's embrace, and then in Justin's arms at other times. He was completely fooled by them.The two men were playing like children and having a blast.Warmth spread across Rosalie's heart at the scene before her.When they realized that Rosalie was back, Justin exclaimed, "Rose, you're back!"The two men looked at her and immediately tugged the blindfold off Steve's face for fear that she might scold them.Rosalie ignor

"You're praising me?" Theodore exclaimed, as if he heard something unbelievable. "It's completely reasonable for you to punch me."Justin patted Theodore's shoulder. "I'm standing right here, alive and well and able to see Rose, precisely because you defeated the evil within you. The one standing before me is the good Theodore. If I were to punch you, who'd be willing to save another?""If I were you, I'd punch me," Theodore said.Justin shook his head. "Not so. You might think this way because you haven't actually experienced it for yourself. Once you do, you'll realize that many things aren't what you thought they were, and that would change the decisions you make."Theodore had a newfound respect for Justin. If the world had more people like him in it, it would probably be a more beautiful place, without conflicts and struggles and endless criticisms and personal attacks.Theodore was starting to understand why Rosalie liked Justin. He was a man worthy of her fancy.Their rela

Justin reached Theodore and Rosalie's place at around 5.20 pm.He didn't come early, because Rosalie told him that she could only reach home at 5.30 pm earliest. He wouldn't be able to see her by coming early, anyway.Theodore was at home and came out to welcome him."You're here."Both men weren't antagonistic against each other, but there was a tinge of awkwardness in the air."You've recovered well," Theodore said politely, but it was what he genuinely thought.Justin was previously shot in the head and had half his head shaved. Some hair had grown out since then."I have recovered pretty well. Oh yes, I haven't thanked you for what happened previously," Justin said. "What for?" Theodore asked."After I got shot, everyone thought I was dead, but you noticed my finger moving. Had you not said anything, I might really have died."Theodore didn't immediately accept Justin's expression of gratitude. In fact, he felt rather guilty. His first reaction at that time was not to
