Chasing My Pregnant Wife

Chapter 43

After a short while, the call connected.

“Hello.

With Rebecca nearby, Rosalie couldn’t afford to sound too distant when talking to Theodore.

So, she had to warmly say, “Honey, it’s me.”

Hearing Rosalie’s tone, Theodore frowned, feeling a bit puzzled. What’s up?”

“When are you coming to Grandma’s place?”

Theodore glanced at his watch. “I’ll come later.”

“Can you come earlier?”

“Why the rush? It’s still early.”

“I just want you to come earlier and spend more time with Grandma.

“Is that Grandma’s request?”

Rosalie responded with a hum.

“In that case, you can tell her I’ll come later.”

“But…”

“Have you forgotten what you said earlier? You’ve been patient with me for a long time. It’ll be more comfortable for you if I come later, so you won’t have trouble eating.”

After saying that, Theodore abruptly hung up, as though sulking and holding her to her words.

Rosalie had only said those things because she had no other choice,

afraid Theodore would find out she was pregnant. She hadn’t expected him to use it against her.

“What did he say?” Rebecca asked curiously.

Rosalie forced a smile. “He said he’ll try to come as soon as possible.”

“That child…” Rebecca sighed.

Seeing that Rebecca looked tired, Rosalie said, “Grandma, let me help you back to your room so you can rest for a while.”

“Okay.”

After escorting Rebecca back to her room and tucking her in, Rosalie left. At the door, she immediately took out her phone and sent a text

message.

[I hope that our issues won’t affect Grandma. She really wants to see. you, so please don’t let your feelings towards me affect her. I have already assured her that you–will come as soon as possible.

Whatever you feel about me, it’s up to you to handle.]

Theodore didn’t reply to her message. However, he arrived at the manor less than an hour later to find Rosalie busy knitting a scarf.

Rebecca liked to knit when she was bored, and she would often teach

Rosalie. So, she would sometimes continue knitting the old woman’s projects on her behalf.

Rosalie was knitting so intently that she didn’t notice Theodore’s arrival until the tall man sat down next to her, startling her. One of the knitting needles pierced her finger, and though it had a rounded tip and normally wouldn’t cause much pain even if one was pricked, Rosalie had been startled so badly that she had jabbed her finger a little too forcefully.

She exclaimed in pain and clutched her hand as the ball of yarn and needles fell off her lap to the floor. Theodore frowned, bending down. to pick up the items from the floor and place them on the nearby coffee table.

He grabbed his wife’s hand. “Why are you so careless?”

The gap under Rosalie’s nail bed had turned red. Although there was no bleeding, it was evident that it hurt. After all, the nerves in the fingers were closely connected to the heart.

“You appeared without a word, startling me, and now you blame me?” Rosalie pulled her hand back forcefully.

Hearing the woman’s cold tone, Theodore narrowed his eyes, obviously displeased. “Are you implying it’s all my fault?”

“I didn’t say that,” Rosalie replied, not wanting to argue with him.

This kind of situation never led to a good outcome.

But Theodore seemed determined to clarify the matter.

“Before we got married, you said you saw me as a brother and had no feelings for me. Even when I mentioned divorce, you said the same. And before I took you to the hospital, you said you had been patient with me for long enough. Now, I’ve given you freedom, and yet you feel wronged?”

“Yes, whatever. I feel wronged. Whatever the mighty CEO of SK Enterprise does is always right,” Rosalie said sarcastically as she picked up the yarn, intending to continue knitting.
