Chasing My Pregnant Wife

-

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.

So, I hope you can let go as well.

Please don't worry. I will take good care of myself. If you truly care for me, don't come looking for me. Our separation is for the best.

Perhaps one day, I will return-when I feel that this curse has been lifted, when I am certain that I no longer bring misfortune to those around me.

Theo, I believe that you will take good care of our son, because you are the best father in the world. Tell him that it was his mother who failed him, that I did not want to bring bad luck upon him.]

Theodore carefully folded the letter, placed it back in the envelope, and tucked it inside a thick book, which he then stored in a corner. He walked out of the room, dazed and lost.

Jake was sitting in his crib, playing with the servant. When he saw Theodore

enter, he immediately got up from the crib. "Dada."

Theodore turned to the servant and said, "You may leave."

"Yes, sir."

The servant stepped out and closed the door behind them. Theodore walked forward and picked up Jake, then sat down on the couch with him in his arms.

Jake noticed Theodore's reddened eyes. "Dada cry."

Forcing a small smile, Theodore replied, "Yes, I cried. But I won't cry anymore."noveldrama

"Mama...?" Jake asked.

He hadn't seen his mother all day.

Theodore had come here specifically to tell Jake the truth. "Baby, your mother has

left for now. We won't be able to see her for a while."

The moment Jake heard this, tears immediately fell from his eyes.

Theodore held his son tightly, his heart aching. "Jake, your mommy didn't leave you. She left to protect

us. She will come back one day. We will wait for her together."

As he said this, Theodore realized he couldn't even convince himself. He finally

broke down, holding Jake as he wept.

Father and son both wept bitterly.
