Author: Night Revelations
“No,” Theodore said in a panic. “I won’t interrupt you. Go ahead and read your documents, but don’t hang up.”

He wanted to help her with her work.

Rosalie’s eyes flashed with doubt. “Why?”

“No particular reason. Just don’t hang up and continue with your work.”

“Fine.” Rosalie didn’t know what Theodore was up to. She pushed her phone away, and continued reading.

When she was finally done reading through every single document, she felt overwhelmed with fatigue. Eye bags hung heavily below her eyes.

She stumbled to the hall, and saw Sydney preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

Upon hearing footsteps, Sydney turned around. “You’re done?”

Rosalie nodded. “Yes.”

“You were up the whole night. I thought you’d at least sleep a little last night.”

Rosalie smiled and sat at the table, still in a daze. She slumped on the table and said, “I felt a burst of energy, and wanted to read through everything in one go. Before I knew it, the sun was rising.”

She placed her phone on the table.

  • Chasing My Pregnant Wife   Chapter 325

    After a few seconds, Rosalie looked up and said, “Mom, I’ll go take a nap.”She was just too tired.“Sleep after breakfast,” Sydney said as she served up the last plate of food. “It’ll just take a few minutes. You might not be hungry, but your baby certainly is.”Rosalie nodded. “All right then,” she acquiesced.She looked down, and rubbed her belly. “I’m sorry, baby. I stayed up last night, and I’m sure you didn’t rest well, too. I’ll rest later, okay?”Sydney saw the bleary look on Rosalie’s face, and found it rather adorable.From the sound of their conversation just now, Rosalie and Theodore looked just like a married couple having a tiff. Despite the heated words, their relationship looked great. No one would have guessed that they were divorced.Had they known, they would surely be confused as to why they would be divorced despite their great relationship.It felt strange, however. They were already divorced, but Theodore seemed to be bugging Rosalie incessantly.His f

    His lips rubbed the tip of her nose, but he wasn’t sure if it was an accident or a deliberate move on his part.Rosalie’s lips moved as she pouted, her brows furrowing slightly as she turned around and continued sleeping on her side.Theodore’s lips gently caressed her cheeks. He felt a surge of electricity coursing through his veins.Rosalie felt something in her dreams, but her eyelids were so heavy, she couldn’t open them.Theodore continued holding Rosalie in his arms, his elbows on both her sides. He was so close to her that their breaths mingled.Despite his back injury, he felt as though all his discomfort vanished at that moment.Theodore reluctantly straightened himself up, and tucked her into the sheets. He swept her bangs away from her face, and stood up to stare at her by her bedside for a long time.He did so all the way until Sydney walked over and stood behind him, and both of them stared at the woman in deep sleep on the bed. They felt like guardian angels watchi

    The notebook was filled with her scribbles. There were so many documents and so many notes she scribbled down. It must have taken her a lot of time, and exhausted her thoroughly. Sydney walked in. “Your ex-wife is pretty impressive. She managed to read all these documents in one go.”Theodore put Rosalie’s notebook down.It seemed she was trying to identify the problem with this company, and she really managed to find it amidst the seemingly flawless data.Even a professional auditor may not be able to identify the problem through these documents.Regent Co.Theodore suddenly recalled something. He immediately pulled out his phone, and dialed a number.“Hello. Are we having a meeting with Regent Co. later this afternoon? Tell Mr. Landon not to agree to the negotiation during the meeting. We’ll update them on our decision after the meeting.”After Theodore hung up, Sydney smiled. “Seems like Rose accidentally helped you out, big time.”Theodore shut down his laptop and put i

    What’s more, she had stayed up the entire night and kept him in the dark about it. It was natural that she was hot-tempered and flared up at him.As for why she didn’t tell him about it, he reasoned that it must be because they were divorced and she was keeping her distance, but couldn’t stop herself from caring for him.Theodore drew the link in his own mind.Sydney noticed the tender look in Theodore’s eyes. “Seems like your ex-wife still treats you very well, and is so considerate toward you.”The mention of his ‘ex-wife’ made Theodore’s eyes go dim. He felt slightly uncomfortable, and stood up. “Whatever it is, you should have advised her not to stay up the entire night. Her body is still in such a weak condition. What if something bad happened?”“I told her to sleep early, but she refused to listen. She’s not a child. Could I have forced her to go to sleep? Even if it’s not for herself, I thought she would go to bed early for the b…”Sydney’s mind buzzed as she froze.‘Oh

    Rosalie woke up at the sound of the alarm at noon, just in time for lunch.She was still feeling woozy and very tired.When she looked at the time, she knew she couldn’t go on sleeping. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to sleep at night and end up having her day and night reserved. That would be terrible.It would be fine if she weren’t pregnant, but she was. She had to think for the baby.After climbing out of bed, Rosalie walked into the bathroom, washed up, bathed, and changed into a clean set of clothes.After leaving the bathroom, she felt a lot better and not so tired anymore.Rosalie walked into the study and took out her notebook. Just then, Sydney returned home from the market.Rosalie walked out of the study with her notebook in hand. When she saw Sydney, she walked over to her and said, “Mom, I found many issues last night. Look, these are Regent Co.’s data from the previous quarter…”“I read them,” Sydney cut her off as she put her groceries on the table. “I read thr

    Geoffrey Carter sat expressionlessly on the couch, sipping on some tea.Sebastian stood in front of Geoffrey, his figure tall and towering, with an indomitable air of a noble.Geoffrey looked as if he was going to set his teacup down, but midway, he lifted his arm and flung the teacup in the direction of Sebastian’s head.The tea in the cup splashed all over Sebastian’s head.Although it was no longer scalding, the teacup hit his head and broke into two pieces.Sebastian didn’t wince in pain, and continued standing tall. The broken teacup fell on the floor with a clank.Geoffrey looked up at Sebastian coldly. “You’ve become quite something. I heard that recently, you’re seldom in the office and always out. Even your secretary doesn't know where you go or what you’re doing. Tell me. Who is that woman?”Sebastian said firmly, “It’s my own problem, and not because of some woman. Don’t get the wrong idea.” “Me? Getting the wrong idea?” Geoffrey stood up. He was as tall as Seba

    "If you’re going to involve someone unrelated to this, Dad, then I won’t stand for it!" Sebastian said firmly, anger lacing his voice. In response, Geoffrey gave him a hard slap.Sebastian’s head spun sideways. He pressed his tongue against his cheek, and snorted."You always blame Mom for everything. You kept saying she’s dragging you down. After that, she stayed at home and didn’t interfere in anything because she was afraid of troubling you. Even then, you still look down on her. I’m really curious, Dad. Must it always be other people’s fault? Aren’t you going to take any responsibility?"Smack! Geoffrey gave him another harsh slap. "You’ve lost the project, but you’re still arguing with me! Phillip, bring me the stick!" Geoffrey snarled. He had always been strict, and was a staunch believer of the old saying: spare the rod, spoil the child. Following this, Sebastian received many beatings ever since he was a child.As Sebastian got older, Geoffrey rarely laid a hand on hi

    Sebastian looked at Rosalie in worry. A few seconds later, he said coldly, "Not really. We’re just casual friends. We don’t see each other very often. Yvonne hangs out with her more."Yvonne never expected her brother to say that, but she knew he was trying to protect Rosalie.Rosalie was puzzled to hear Sebastian's words. She had a hunch he was pretending to be unfamiliar with her on purpose—he was doing it was for her sake. His father didn't seem too kind."Oh, is that so?" Geoffrey sounded somewhat sarcastic, and his sharp gaze fell on Rosalie again. "Miss Young, my son says you two are just casual friends. Is that true?""Yes, Dad," Yvonne answered quickly. "She and Seb are just normal friends. We’re closer."Yvonne hurriedly linked her arm with Rosalie's. "I called her here to hang out. I didn’t think we’d find you two here. We’ll leave immediately!"She knew her brother must be deathly anxious right now. The only thing she could do was to take Rosalie away.Sebastian shot

    Sebastian carried Rosalie out of the washroom. Her knees were both slightly red.He put her on the bed, his thumb rubbing the corners of her lips. He smiled and whispered into her ear, "Did that taste good?"Rosalie flipped to her side, her back facing him.Sebastian kissed her shoulder as a wicked look flashed past his eyes. He dove into the sheets, moving lower and lower.Rosalie knew what was about to happen and tried to struggle, but he pinned both of her legs down.Everything that happened after that felt torturous.Rosalie didn't even know when it ended.When it finally did, her cheeks were flushed and she sobbed silently while biting on her fingers.Sebastian emerged from the sheets and pulled her into his arms."Darling, why are you crying?" he coaxed her as he patted her back. "Don't cry. Did I hurt you?"Rosalie held her tears back and turned her face away, but Sebastian forcefully twisted her head back.His lips crooked wickedly. "Look how red your cheeks are. Wel

    When it was past three in the afternoon and the weather wasn't so hot, Sebastian brought Rosalie out for a stroll.Although Veloso's industry and economy were underdeveloped, the natural scenery wasn't bad.Sebastian brought Rosalie to many places.Throughout the entire time, she didn't say much, simply letting him hold her hand.When they stood at the seaside, Sebastian hugged her from behind and kissed her neck, whispering sweet nothings into her ear.He also brought her to a sea of flowers. He hugged her as they lay on the flower bed, making her kiss him.Sebastian was enjoying every moment of it.At night, he booked the most luxurious restaurant to have dinner with Rosalie. The two of them sat by the window.Throughout the meal, Rosalie hardly responded to him. Eventually, Sebastian put down his fork and said, "Rose, don't be so grouchy. Give me a smile, won't you?"He was as patient as he could with her. However, there was a limit to his patience.Rosalie looked up at Se

    Sebastian shut his eyes, savoring the kiss. He wrapped an arm around her waist and deepened the kiss, but he didn't take over control from Rosalie and simply enjoyed the feeling of her taking the initiative to kiss him. However, she didn't kiss him for too long. It was a simple kiss and nothing fancy, where she just let her lips touch his for a while before letting him go.Rosalie looked at Sebastian, as if asking with her eyes whether that would do.Sebastian wasn't exactly pleased with the kiss.However, the empty look in her eyes made him soften his stance.He picked up his phone, covered her eyes, and unlocked the screen with a code before retrieving a video of Steve.He took the video when he was previously taking care of Steve. Although Steve was biologically Theodore's child, he was way too adorable and Sebastian truly adored him. That was why he took many photos of him.He clicked on the first video and showed it to Rosalie. It lasted over a minute and showed Steve sitt

    The delighted look on Sebastian's face made Rosalie look away. No matter how handsome he was, the sight of his face made her retch.Sebastian spooned food onto her plate and said, "Rose, I know you like this cuisine. I had all the ingredients air-flown here and they are as fresh as they can be. Just tell me what you want to eat and I'll have the kitchen prepare it for you. You need to take care of your health."He held her shoulders. "I want to fatten you up. Be good and eat up."He urged her tenderly, but this tenderness was only temporary. If she were to resist, he would immediately turn violent and hurt her.Rosalie picked up a spoon and stuffed the food in her mouth. She wolfed everything down, hoping that lunch would come to an end soon."Be good, eat slowly," Sebastian said as he caressed her hair like she was a child. "Don't choke, my heart will ache if you do. These are all for you. You can eat as much as you like. If it's not enough, I'll have the kitchen cook more."The

    "Well, Rose? Have you come round yet? Do you want me to send someone to kill your son, or will you submit to me obediently, listen to me, and behave yourself? Instead of trying to kill or harm yourself."Sebastian tried to make himself look as gentle and tender as he could be, as if he were patiently negotiating with Rosalie. In truth, this was nothing like a negotiation. Rosalie basically had no choice."How do you want me to submit to you?" she asked in a hoarse voice.The video of Steve woke her up. Not only was she Justin's lover, but she was also a mother. She couldn't stand idly by watching Steve get into trouble. She couldn't neglect her son's safety because of the misery she was in.Sebastian smiled, finally satisfied. "I just want you to listen to me and stay by my side. Don't act like a living corpse and cooperate when in bed with me."Sebastian spoke as though he was talking about things as simple and intuitive as eating and drinking.A simple word from the devil was

    Sebastian's head was still throbbing. He drank a lot last night also because he wanted to drown his sorrows.He stared at the woman on the bed, the look in her eyes empty like a lifeless doll.Sebastian gently caressed her hair and stood up to walk to the washroom.When he returned last night, he went to bed straight away without showering.He brushed his teeth and took a shower in the washroom. After he was done, he wiped himself dry and returned to the bed, wrapping Rosalie in his arms once more."Darling, things have come to this point and you can't change anything. You should just accept things the way they are. This country is quite beautiful. Let me take you out for a walk."His voice was very gentle, like a lover mumbling words of affection.Rosalie didn't respond to him, as if she were a corpse.Sebastian went on, "Do you want to be tied to the bed, unable to move your entire life? How long are you going to be stubborn like this? Darling, let me wash you up and brush yo

    Rosalie felt her body being flipped over as Sebastian pressed his body against hers.The smell of alcohol made her feel nauseous.She wanted to shove him away, but her hands were tied up and she couldn't move them.Sebastian cupped her face in his hands and planted hot kisses on her cheeks. His lips landed on a swollen area.Rosalie winced in pain.Sebastian could feel the swell on Rosalie's face through his lips. He opened his eyes and realized that almost half of Rosalie's face was swollen. There was even an imprint of a palm on her cheek.He had slapped her very hard this morning because she angered him. He lost control and hit her.Rosalie's skin was tender and certainly couldn't withstand his force. Her cheeks were now badly swollen.Although Sebastian was drunk, he was still conscious. Remorse filled his eyes as he cried, "Rose, you really shouldn't have angered me at that time. If you didn't, I wouldn't have hit you."He poked her cheek gently with a finger. "See, it's

    In the deep of the night, the curtains fluttered in the cold wind.The moon shone like silver outside the window and into a bedroom in the villa. The weak moonlight danced in the darkness, reflecting a dim blue shadow in the room. Branches swayed outside the window, making a rustling sound.Rosalie lay on the bed, her face pale as a sheet and her eyes bloodshot and swollen, reflecting the fatigue she was feeling inside.The look in her eyes was empty and hopeless, like a sole boat wandering in the endless night, void of direction and hope.The bedside lamp shone a gentle light, lighting up her haggard features. The shadows in the dim room accentuated the loneliness etched on her face.The night was quiet except for the rustling wind and the heartless ticking of time. The silence in Rosalie's heart, however, was deafening.Her breathing gradually became labored as she lay on the bed, hopelessness filling her eyes. She looked like a lone spirit roaming the darkness.The door ope

    Rosalie smirked. "Is that so?"She knew Sebastian was the one in denial. She was sure he felt furious and indignant, and was just feigning confidence to cover up the unease he was feeling."Sebastian Carter, I curse you to never find happiness! I'd rather be torn to pieces than fall in love with a man like you. I curse you to never find love!"Sebastian smacked Rosalie's face hard. He slapped her so hard, she felt dizzy and collapsed on the bed. Her tender cheeks swelled up immediately.His hand trembled after the slap, still left handing in the air. He looked at his palm as shock, disbelief, guilt, regret and all sorts of conflicted feelings flashed past the depths of his eyes.Rosalie didn't have much of a reaction. She simply lay on the bed expressionlessly, as though she were dead and completely void of emotions.Sebastian clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "Rose, you shouldn't be talking to me like this. You shouldn't be angering me. Don't think that just because I lo
