MY PREGNANT WIFE

Fractured Loyalties

"This is Mr. Sebastian Carter, the primary shareholder of Ashwick University."

Another round of thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

A young man in a sharp suit elegantly walked onto the stage, nodding slightly to everyone before finally arriving at Rosalie's side.

Rosalie was somewhat shocked when she saw who it was. Wasn't he the gentleman she had shared a table with at the restaurant a few days ago?

-When Sebastian saw her, he also seemed slightly surprised but didn't show it. He accepted the degree certificate from the dean's hands.

Rosalie stepped forward to receive her degree certificate. She bowed. slightly, keeping her head lowered. The tassel on the right side of her mortarboard hung down. As per tradition, Sebastian gently moved the tassel from the right to the left. With that, the ceremony was complete.

Looking up, Rosalie was about to express her gratitude when she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness that caused her to stagger.

Sebastian immediately reached out to support her, pulling her into his arms in a rather intimate position.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Rosalie felt her vision blur, almost unable to see the people in the audience who were whispering among themselves, unsure of what was happening onstage.

Not far away, a sharp gaze locked onto the stage, dark and intense.

After a few seconds, Rosalie quickly broke free from the man's embrace.

"Sorry, I didn't eat breakfast this morning, so my blood sugar might be low."

"If you're not feeling well, rest for a while," the dean replied.

Rosalie nodded and stood straight, bowing to the crowd before walking off the stage with her degree certificate in hand.

Vertigo struck her again, causing her steps to be unsteady. She tried to endure it and walk off the stage, but suddenly found herself unable to see the stairs clearly. Though she couldn't tell where to step, she couldn't just stand there. She had to take a step forward.

As she was

she was contemplating her next move, the dean said, "Next, let's invite Mr. Carter to give a speech..."

Before the dean could finish his sentence, he suddenly saw Sebastian rushing past him. Shortly after, screams and gasps came from the audience.

Rosalie had missed a step and was about to fall!

"Ahhh!"

Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around her stomach to protect her abdomen. But instead of feeling the pain of falling onto the hard, cold floor, she felt herself falling into a warm embrace.

At the sound of a man's muffled groan of pain, Rosalie returned to her senses to find herself pressed against Sebastian's body. She hurriedly tried to get off him, but her legs were weak and she couldn't

move.

"Are you okay?" Sebastian asked, still concerned about her despite the pain from the fall.

There was an uproar at the scene, with everyone standing up and

rushing over.

Gritting her teeth, Rosalie was about to get off Sebastian when suddenly, a figure broke through the crowd. He strode over, pulling her up and into his arms.

"Ah!" Rosalie exclaimed in shock, her body crashing heavily against the man's solid chest.

She looked up in astonishment. "Why are you here?"

She thought Theodore had already left, so why had he come back? With a grim expression on his face, Theodore's sharp gaze was fixed on Sebastian, who had already stood up with help from others. There was a commotion among the crowd. Everyone was whispering to each other, curious about the intimate relationship between Rosalie and this handsome man.

Someone in the crowd recognized him - it was none other than Theodore Spencer, the CEO of SK Enterprise! Was Rosalie his lover? If not, why were they so intimate with each other?

Sebastian seemed to have guessed something after observing the scene before him, but he didn't say anything.

Rosalie struggled forcefully to break free from Theodore's embrace, feeling anxious under the scrutiny of so many eyes. She ignored her husband's grim expression, her concerned gaze falling on Sebastian. "Mr. Carter, I'm so sorry. Would you like to go to the hospital?" she asked,

"I'm fine." Sebastian replied, his brow furrowed as he clutched his chest, clearly in pain.

Just as Rosalie was about to approach to check on him, Theodore grabbed her wrist and forcefully pulled her back, his face terrifyingly cold.

"Let go of me!" Rosalie tried to break free from his grip, but the man. was incredibly strong.

Theodore wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace. His hostility-filled gaze was directed at Sebastian. As he kept his hold on Rosalie, he pulled a check out of his pocket and stuffed it into the other man's suit pocket.

Theodore's voice was tinged with provocation as he said, "Thank you. for saving my wife. That should cover your medical expenses."

With that, he held Rosalie close and left.

The whole place erupted in a commotion wife! What was going on?!

Rosalie was Theodore's

"What are you doing? Let go of me! Rosalie said in a low voice. She didn't want to escalate the situation, but was clearly resisting the way

her husband was holding her.

Sensing Rosalie's reluctance to leave with Theodore, Sebastian. moved to intervene, calling out, "Ms. Young!"

Theodore turned his head and glared at Sebastian. "It's Mrs. Spencer!"

As if asserting his superiority, he swept Rosalie off her feet and strode away. The atmosphere turned dominantly aggressive as they passed through the crowd, who involuntarily made way for the couple, watching as they departed.

After leaving the venue, Rosalie struggled desperately, her mortarboard long gone.

"Put me down!"

Theodore completely ignored her struggles, his face cold as he lifted. her into the car and slammed the door shut. "You've gone too far!"

This was the first time in ten years that Rosalie had lost her temper with him, and it was all because of another man.

"Me? Too far?" Theodore suddenly turned, gripping her shoulders tightly, his large hands exerting pressure.

"And what about you? You've been deceiving me from the start. Clearly, you don't like finance, yet you pretended to be so passionate about it. You're such a good actress. Why didn't you go to drama school?" Rosalie's vision blurred as she recalled the time before she started university. Five years older than her, Theodore had already earned his PhD at a young age due to his exceptional abilities.

Back then, Theodore was already the CEO of SK Enterprise, while she

was still preparing for university entrance exams.

“Theo

The office door was open, and as Rosalie walked in, she saw Theodore talking to Cynthia. Their heads were close together as they discussed

some documents. Seeing Rosalie enter, Theodore put down the

papers in his hand.

"Rose, what brings you here?"

When Cynthia noticed Rosalie's presence, she closed the file and

spoke professionally, "Mr. Spencer, if there's nothing else, I'll head down first."

Theodore responded with a nod.

Rosalie sensed Cynthia assessing her as she passed by, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

Sometimes, a person could tell when someone's gaze was off. However, if they didn't have any evidence, they had to keep it to themselves. Otherwise, others would just say the person was overthinking things.

"Theo, who was that?" Rosalie asked.

"That was Cynthia, a senior intern from Aurora University," Theodore replied.

"Aurora?" Rosalie repeated. "Isn't that where you studied before? So, she's your junior?"

So, because she was interning at his company, Theodore had assigned her to his office
