Xyla smiled.
"Mom, what are you talking about?" She linked arms with her mother, acting like the perfect, affectionate daughter. "Mom, you're forever young. I think you look under 50—still so youthful!"
"You and that sweet tongue of yours! Always so good at flattering others."
Chandra was indeed pleased by the compliment.
"Come on, let's head inside," she said. "What if you start feeling unwell again?"
"Alright, let's go in," Xyla said; she gave Christopher a look, her gaze flicking toward the gates, as if silently urging him to leave.
"Mom, since Xyla's fine, I'll head back now and visit you another day," Christopher said, playing along.
"It's so late already, and you've come all this way," Chandra said. "Why don't you stay the night and leave tomorrow?"
"Mom, I have to be up early tomorrow, and it's quite far from here to the office. I'd better go back now. You and Xyla should also get some rest."
"Alright then," Chandra said. "Make sure to take care of your health. Don't overwork yourself. You've always been so driven. You've worked yourself into the hospital before. Let your subordinates handle things—don't take everything on yourself, understand?"
"I've been trying to do that. See? I'm perfectly fine now."
Chandra raised her hand and gently patted his arm. "Good. My son is strong, and my daughter is so devoted. It's just a pity that my eldest son left us too soon, but at least I still have you two."
When she mentioned her eldest son, a wave of sadness passed over her face.
Xyla immediately changed the subject. "Mom, let's head inside."
"Sure." Chandra turned to Christopher. "Drive carefully on your way back. Let me know when you've arrived, alright?"

The readers' comments on the novel: Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore)
Why aren't u updating......
Unrealistic. What a comedy. If Sebastian and Rosalie are cousins, their families must have already prevented them to be together abroad. Isn't it bizarre that nobody is doing something to let them know of their family relationship? And pls stop putting Aurora in a high pedestal. Your readers want Rosalie to be genuinely happy,free of stupid misunderstanding. Thank you....
Another garbled story with lots of gibberish. Absolute rubbish. I got to chapter 26 and can't anymore...
Too many people involve.. sigh~ this is like the most angst novel i've read.....
I just wish one thing...that the writer will not bring too many unnecessary and unrealistic twists,too many misunderstanding,miscommunication that gives the reader the hint not to continue with the novel. In the long run, We lost our interest in this kind of unending plot....
Thanks for the update !...
