The lost look in Rosalie''s eyes made Christopher chuckle awkwardly as he tried to remain polite. "Pardon me. Are you upset that I''ve mentioned him?"


    "No. It''s just that we''re divorced, and I don''t really want to talk about him," Rosalie said.


    Rosalie felt a dull ache in her chest. She hardly talked to others about Theodore, and always avoided talking bad about him behind his back. Yet he kept misunderstanding her, thinking she was going around talking ill about him when she did nothing of the sort.


    Even now, she didn''t want to do that.


    Christopher nodded. "Alright, let''s not talk about him. Let''s talk about you. Do you have any siblings?"


    Rosalie shook her head. "I''m an only child, with no siblings."


    "Oh, I see. Your parents must dote on you a lot."


    The mention of her parents ached Rosalie''s heart once more. "Yeah. A pity that they passed away very early on."


    If her parents hadn''t died, there would probably have been no chance of Theodore and her meeting. Perhaps all these tragedies wouldn''t have happened.


    "How did they pass away?" Christopher asked.


    Rosalie recounted her parent''s story to him.


    After listening to Rosalie, Christopher remained silent for a while before saying, "I see. It hasn''t been easy for you at all."


    Rosalie smiled bitterly. "The silver lining is that someone adopted me, and gave me afortable life and a good education. I''ve always been grateful for that."


    Christopher nodded. “Your parents would be very d to know you''ve grown up well."


    Rosalie figured that Yvonne didn''t tell Christopher about her pregnancy, given how he didn''t bring it up at all.


    They chatted for a while more, talking about how she met Sebastian. When the dishes were served, the two of them began having dinner.


    Rosalie didn''t have much appetite,


    spite of the mouthwatering food


    before her. However, she knew she needed the nutrients for the baby in her womb and forced herself to eat.


    Christopher saw Rosalie struggling with eating the food, and asked, "Is the food not to your liking?"


    Rosalie shook her head. "No, it''s delicious. I just feel very sad thinking about Seb, and I don''t have much appetite. But I''ll eat more and take care of myself."


    Christopher smiled kindly. “That''s the way. No matter what happens, you must first take care of yourself before you can take care of others and think further and clearer."


    "Have this chicken thigh," he added, as he offered her a piece of meat.


    Rosalie stared at the chicken thigh in her bowl at smelled heavenly, but looked rather greasy. She had no choice but to take a few bites of it, since Christopher had personally served it to her.


    Suddenly, she felt nauseous and tried her best to suppress the urge to vomit. She put her utensils down, and said, “Excuse me. I need the washroom."From N?velDrama.Org.


    Christopher nodded as he watched Rosalie leave the private room.


    After a while, his phone rang in his pocket. He pulled it out, and answered it. “Hello?"


    "Mr. Johnson, we''ve gathered information about Ms. Young. Do you want it right away?" "Email it to me," he said.


    Very soon, Christopher received an email in his inbox, which he clicked open and found a lot of information about Rosalie in it. That included her birth, her parents, and her marriage. The information more and less matched what she told him.


    However, there was a hidden secret regarding her parents.
