Another week passed. Every night during this past week, Rosalie would go to Theodore's room and tuck him in.
She would also bring Jake to Theodore's room, soothing both father and son together. It was as if she had become a mother to the two of them.
Theodore no longer wanted to go to work. Unless there was something urgent, he would stay at home with Rosalie and Jake, entrusting other matters to his subordinates.
The happiest among them was undoubtedly Jake. Both his parents were by his side, and his mother held him and played with him every day.
Theodore thought that this blissful time would continue indefinitely, but one day, everything came to an abrupt halt.
Rosalie had disappeared.
Theodore found a letter on her bed.
After that, he locked himself in his room, reading the letter over and over again, not stepping out for the entire day.

[Theo, I'm sorry. In the end, I decided to leave. I hope you won't try to find me, because leaving is my own decision.
I know that doing this will surely hurt both you and Jake, but I have no choice. These past days, I have continued having nightmares. Every time, I dream of Sebastian's last words whispered in my ear before he died—that every man who loves me will meet a tragic end.
I know Sebastian said those words to torment me. If I believe him, he wins. But I can't ignore the fact that the men who loved me have all met terrible fates.
Whether it was Yerick or Sebastian, they both deserved their ends. But Justin's death was a devastating blow to me. And you… You have become like this because of me. Time and again, you have nearly lost your life—all because of me. It is as if I am cursed. I bring misfortune to those around me.
The only thing I can do is to stay away from those who love me, from those I care about.
I have thought about this for a long time. I don't want to leave you or Jake, but I must. Especially after seeing what has become of you, I can't stay by your side and continue harming you.
But I also can't selfishly take Jake away, because he will be safer with you than with me.
Theo, I am the one who has wronged you. But I am truly afraid—afraid that I will bring disaster upon you and Jake. You two are the people I care about most in this world, and I cannot let anything happen to you. The only way I can protect you is by leaving you.
Staying by your side, I live in constant fear, unable to eat or sleep in peace. Every night when I close my eyes, I see nothing but terrifying nightmares. I have already caused Justin's death. I cannot let you and Jake suffer the same fate.

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 !...
