Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore)

"What...what are you going to do?" Laila's face turned pale.

Rosalie sighed. "Forget it. It's pointless trying to teach her a lesson. You'll only end up sullying your hands. Laila, what else have you not told me yet?"

"I've told you everything I know, I have no clue about other things. I'm not your parents, I certainly won't know as much as they do," Laila said. Rosalie could sense that Laila wasn't lying. She turned and asked Justin, "What do you think?"

Justin stared coldly at Laila before saying after a while, "She's probably said it all."

"Really, I'm not lying to you!" Laila said as she lifted a hand. "I swear, I'll die a terrible death if I were lying to you. You two should look up the orphanage in Joulon District. That's really all I know!"

"I'll do that. Laila, I'm warning you-if I find out that you're lying to me, I'll find you and make you pay the price." A vicious look flashed past Rosalie's eyes.

"May I go now?" Laila hurriedly stood up. "I'll be off, then.”

Laila fled without even turning her head back. Rosalie didn't want to chase after her.

Justin pulled his phone out and looked at the map. "Rose, there are two orphanages in the district your aunt mentioned. Let's see if we can find any clues there."

Rosalie nodded.

The two of them headed to Joulon District, where one of the two orphanages was open for less than a decade.

The other orphanage, on the other hand, had been around for 25 years.

The two of them made a beeline for that orphanage and chatted with the director. Every orphan had a case file and there were records of those who were adopted.

The director brought Rosalie to the file archives library.

The library was huge and filled with shelves upon shelves of information about their orphans. After a long time of searching, they finally managed to dig up Rosalie's case file.

The case file showed that Rosalie was left at the orphanage and subsequently adopted. The ones who took her in were her adoptive parents, and there was no further information in her case file.

Rosalie came specifically to ask about the bracelet, but it had been such a long time ago that the director's memory about it was hazy at best. The case file didn't have records of Rosalie wearing a bracelet, either.

After a few more questions, Rosalie and Justin left the orphanage with all the answers that the director and orphanage had to offer.

Rosalie felt a little woozy and very upset.

Justin followed behind her with Steve in his arms. Upon seeing Rosalie stop in her tracks, he approached her and comforted her, saying, "I'm sure we'll find something eventually."

Rosalie smiled bitterly. "Actually,

whether we end up finding anything at all, it won't change the ending. My biological parents abandoned me So what if I find out who they are? They didn't want me in the first place, or they wouldn't have abandoned me at all."

"Rose, I think there's more to it than meets the eye."

"You think so?" Rosalie looked up and asked, "What makes you think so?"

"Your aunt said you were wearing a

very valuable bracelet. If your parents really didn't want you and wanted to abandon you, why did they put such an expensive bracelet on you? If the bracelet really were that valuable, that proves your

parents weren't ordinary peoel

that were so, why couldn't they

If

afford to raise you? The orphanage director said you were left at the door of the orphanage. If you were abandoned with such a valuable bracelet on your wrist, could it be possible that none of the staff

members here stole the bracelet and

gave it to your adoptive parents?"

If Rosalie had been abandoned back then, Justin found it hard to believe that no one would try stealing such an expensive bracelet on a defenseless infant.

"What you said makes sense," Rosalie said after pondering for a while. "Could Laila be lying to me, and that there's no bracelet to speak of in the first place?"

"She didn't look like she was lying," Justin concluded. "There's no need for her to fabricate a lie about the bracelet, either. If your parents really hid the bracelet at home, we should go search for it."

"My aunt was so deep in her gambling debt, she sold the house after my parents died."

"I looked into that house while we were at the orphanage. It's pending demolition and no one lives in it right now. The buyer bought the property for investment purposes, so no one actually lives there. No one has touched your parents' house since you left," Justin said.

Rosalie's eyes lit up. "I can't believe you managed to find that."

Justin smiled warmly at her. "We have to find new leads, so I thought I should look into it. I didn't expect to receive good news about it. Let's go check

it out, okay?"

Rosalie nodded. "Sure."
