Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore) novel Chapter 294

She knew Sebastian was bribing her. But since it was his credit card, she would succumb this time.

“Rose,” Yvonne said meekly, “why don’t you stay here and chat with Seb? I’ll take a stroll downstairs. I’ll come back for you in a while.”

“But I…”

“Rose,” Yvonne whispered into her ear, “he looks quite anxious, and is probably worried that you’re angry at him. Just stay and chat with him, all right?”

With that, Yvonne released Rosalie’s hand and grabbed Sebastian’s card before making a run for the door. She slammed the door shut, not giving Rosalie a chance to reject her.

“You…”

Rosalie was rendered speechless at the “bribe” that just took place under her nose.

Sebastian strode forward, and stopped right in front of her.

Left with no way out, Rosalie stood where she was and flashed him an awkward smile.

“Rose, I’m sorry you had to see what happened earlier. They committed a huge mistake at work, and I had to tell them off. It wasn’t without reason.”

He didn’t want Rosalie to think of him as a volatile and bad-tempered person. All the more he didn’t want her thinking of him as a bully, just because he was rich and powerful.

Rosalie nodded calmly. “I know.”

Still, she never imagined that Sebastian was capable of being so frightening, especially given his usual genteel and mild-mannered demeanor.

He was even more frightening than people who usually looked more scary than he did.

“But…” Rosalie paused.

“But what?” Sebastian asked anxiously. “Do you think I shouldn’t have been so fierce to them? How about this? I’ll call them back and apologize to them. Or is there something else you want me to do?”

He was beginning to ramble on in a bid to please her.

Her concern was capable of lifting his mood, even more so than any other person.

“Oh yes, Rose, what brought you here today? Did Yvonne drag you here? That brat, she always disregards other people’s feelings!”

“It’s not her,” Rosalie clarified. “This has nothing to do with her. I was the one who asked her about you.”

She decided to tell him the truth, lest he started blaming Yvonne.

“You asked her about me?” Sebastian asked doubtfully. “Why?”

Rosalie smiled awkwardly. “I had a bad dream last night, and dreamt that something bad happened to you. It felt so real…”

She continued explaining herself, worried that he might find her laughable.

“I thought it was reality, and I broke out in a cold sweat. That was why I texted you, but you never replied to me. I called you, but you didn’t pick up the phone, so I got even more worried. Then I called Yvonne to ask about you, and eventually came here.”
