Chasing My Pregnant Wife

"You're praising me?" Theodore exclaimed, as if he heard something unbelievable. "It's completely reasonable for you to punch me."

Justin patted Theodore's shoulder. "I'm standing right here, alive and well and able to see Rose, precisely because you defeated the evil within you. The one standing before me is the good Theodore. If I were to punch you, who'd be willing to save another?"

"If I were you, I'd punch me," Theodore said.

Justin shook his head. "Not so. You might think this way because you haven't actually experienced it for yourself. Once you do, you'll realize that many things aren't what you thought they were, and that would change the decisions you make."

Theodore had a newfound respect for Justin. If the world had more people like him in it, it would probably be a more beautiful place, without conflicts and struggles and endless criticisms and personal attacks.

Theodore was starting to understand why Rosalie liked Justin. He was a man worthy of her fancy.

Their relationship was becoming amicable and they no longer stood against each other in animosity as love rivals, but as two men who trusted each other.

Theodore glanced at his watch and saw that it was about time for Rosalie to return home.

"I'm just here to visit Rosalie. I'll be going back to Melrine very soon," Justin said.

"Will you come back again after you return to Melrine?"

"I'm not sure," Justin said. "Perhaps not, or I might come back in another identity."

"In another identity?" Theodore said doubtfully.

"You didn't think I came to Blencalgo in my original identity, did you?"

Realization dawned upon Theodore, and he said teasingly, "You're bad, really."

"I can't help it. I'm a bad person with too many enemies for my own good," Justin said. "I have to build up awork and channels for self- preservation."

"Let's head in," Theodore urged.

Justin looked out the gate. "Rosalie will be back soon, I suppose? Why don't I wait for her here and we'll head in together later."

Theodore nodded. "Alright, then."

The two of them stood at the door

and waited, chatting intermittently. However, they waited till 5.40 pm and Rosalie was still not back yet.

She should have been back by then without any delays. They were expecting Justin and Rosalie wouldn't have allowed herself to be so delayed.

"Let me call her and ask," Theodore said as he dialed Rosalie's number. However, Rosalie hung up on the other end.

Theodore frowned. "What's going on?"

Just then, Theodore received a text that read, [The meeting is still ongoing and I don't know when it will end.]

Theodore showed Justin the text.

"I suppose we'll have to wait for good things. Let's head in and wait for her inside," Justin said.

Theodore and Justin entered the villa.

At 6 pm, Rosalie called Theodore.

"Theo, I just knocked off and am getting ready to head back. Is Justin there already?"

"Yes, he is," Theodore said. "Drive carefully and don't rush. We'll wait for you."

"I'll be late getting back," Rosalie

said. "It's peak hour on the roads right now and I'm sure there will be traffic jams. I might get stuck for two hours, and it'll be very late when I reach back. Why don't you ask the kitchen to prepare dinner and you two eat first?"

"No way, we'll wait for you to eat together, Theodore said. "How about this? I'll send a helicopter to fetch you so you can avoid the traffic jams. You'll be back in no time."

"Helicopter?" Rosalie hesitated for a moment. "That wouldn't be good. It'll draw too much attention."

"Do you want to be stuck in the jam?" Theodore asked.
