Chasing My Pregnant Wife

A sharp pain shot through Theodore’s arm, but he remained composed and nonchalant.

“Mom, Dad, you’re here.”

Wesley tugged at his tie and awkwardly cleared his throat. “If you

have something to discuss, you should move to your room for privacy. Aren’t you afraid of being seen and laughed at for doing that here? Were you two in that much of a hurry?”

Rebecca walked over with her cane, smiling warmly. “I don’t think you’re in that much of a hurry. Otherwise, why is Rose’s belly still flat? Theo, it seems like you need to be even more anxious.”

Theodore furrowed his brow, a hint of embarrassment flashing in his eyes. “Grandma, it’s not what you think.”

“You pinned your wife down on the couch and kissed her

passionately. How else should we interpret that?”

Rebecca didn’t beat around the bush. After all, they were all adults who were experienced in these matters. There was no need to pretend otherwise.

Theodore was at a loss for words. If no one had come in, he couldn’t guarantee what might have happened next.

Rosalie seemed frightened. She quickly got up from the couch and ran to Rebecca’s side, holding onto her arm.

“Grandma, please stop.”

Seeing her granddaughter–in–law blush, Rebecca smiled kindly yet mischievously. “What’s there to be embarrassed about? Shouldn’t your belly be showing by now?”

Rebecca gently patted her flat abdomen. “Theo, how about we give you some space in the living room now? We’ll leave first. You work hard and make sure Rose has a baby.”

Rosalie’s eyes widened as she shook Rebecca’s arm. “Grandma, please stop!”

Where was her sense of shame?! Such vulgar words! It was so embarrassing!

Rosalie felt like she couldn’t show her face. She hid behind the old lady, keeping her head down.

disappeared. To change the subject, he turned and approached his mother. It seemed like it had been a long time since he had seen her. Theodore’s eyes sparkled with surprise, revealing a childlike expression for the first time.

“Mom.”

Sydney Harper nodded slightly in a graceful and refined manner. Her face didn’t have much expression, but it wasn’t cold either. Holding a handbag and wearing high heels, she was wearing a white suit that looked elegant and professional. Her long black curls were neatly tied in a low ponytail.

At first sight, she was an unforgettable beauty. Even standing before Theodore, it was hard to guess she was his mother. Having taken good care of herself, she looked like she was not yet

forty.

Wesley stood to the side, keeping his distance from Sydney. The atmosphere between the husband and wife seemed somewhat awkward, as if they were strangers.

The scene suddenly became tense, which Theodore had intended to divert attention from. But instead, it had only made things more

uncomfortable between his parents,

Rosalie looked on in puzzlement at the scene before her. She knew that her in–laws lived separately, but beyond that, she wasn’t aware of the details. Her family members hadn’t said much to her about it, and naturally, she didn’t pry.

“Grandma, dinner is almost ready, and everyone is here. Shall we head to the dining room?” Rosalie’s timely voice broke the silence.

Sydney approached Rebecca and politely said, “Mom, it’s been a while. I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t been able to visit you. How have you been?”

“I’ve been fine.” Rebecca smiled. “Everything’s been good.”

Rebecca then turned to her son. “Wesley, what’s wrong with you?

Your wife has come all this way, and you’re wearing such a gloomy expression.”
