Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore) novel Chapter 289

“I don’t know,” Yvonne said. Upon sensing the panic in Rosalie’s voice, she added, “What’s the matter? Why are you looking for him?”

“Nothing much. I’m just a little worried I couldn’t contact him.”

“I see,” Yvonne said, her eyes darting around.

‘Rose is pretty worried about Seb,’ she thought.

“Rose, I’ll give Seb a call and try to find him before calling you back, okay?” she suggested.

“Sure. I’ll wait for you. Please let me know once you find him, or just text me,” Rosalie replied.

“Sure.”

After that, they hung up.

Yvonne called Sebastian’s phone, but he didn’t answer her call, either.

Strange. Was he furious over what happened this morning, and wasn’t picking up calls on purpose?

Yvonne began to feel uneasy, too. She called Sebastian’s assistant.

He picked up the call, and greeted her respectfully, “Ms. Carter, how may I help you?”

“Is Seb in the office?”

The assistant replied in hushed tones, “Mr. Carter is in the office, but…”

“But what?” Yvonne asked doubtfully. “Why are you speaking so softly? Are you a burglar?”

“For some reason, Mr. Carter is flaring up—it’s like he had explosives for breakfast! It’s frightening, really. I’ll talk more with you later. Mr. Carter is waiting for me, and he’ll probably blow up on me if I turn up late. I’m so sorry, I’m hanging up now. I don’t want to die in his hands.”

The assistant hung up, his voice trembling with fear.

Yvonne knew why Sebastian was in such a fiery mood. It was probably because of what happened this morning.

She didn’t expect her brother to lose his cool to this extent. It would certainly be amusing if Rosalie saw the state he was in right now!

Yvonne said, “I did, but he didn’t answer my call.”

‘Forgive me…’ Yvonne pleaded to the heavens for mercy for lying—she did it out of good intentions, all for the sake of her brother’s love life.

Panic rose in Rosalie’s chest. Did something bad really happen?

“You said Sebastian is in the office. Why don’t you call someone else in his company and ask to find out what happened? Is it regarding work, or his personal safety?”

Yvonne clenched her fists out of agitation.

‘Wow’, she thought. ‘My future sister-in-law is so concerned for Seb’s personal safety. This is great!’

“How about this? Let’s go to his office and check out what’s going on. We can only hear from others if we call. We can’t even reach his assistant at this moment. I’ll only be reassured if I see him in person. Do you want to come along with me?”

Yvonne seized the chance to make this suggestion.

‘Seb, oh Seb,’ she sighed inwardly. ‘I’m tricking your future wife into coming with me to your office. It’s all up to you after I bring her there. I’ve done my best!’
