Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore) novel Chapter 1371

Rosalie lowered her head, looking visibly upset. Justin put an arm around her shoulder, sensing her unease.

"Missing Steve? I can send you to him if you really can't take it any longer."

Rosalie shook her head. "No. I do miss him, but he's already asleep and I'll only disturb his rest by going right now. I know he's very well taken care of. I just feel that…"

"What?" Justin asked.

Rosalie turned to look tearfully at him. "I just think that perhaps Steve doesn't really need me, and that he can sleep and eat well even without me around."

She leaned into Justin's embrace.

"Is it bad of me to think like that? As if I'm a bad mother… I don't want my child to cry and fuss without me around, but I feel upset now that he's not crying or fussing at all."

"Rose, you're not to blame," Justin said as he gently patted her back. He comforted her, "This is all very normal. As a mother, loving your child is instinctive. This is just the beginning. You don't need to worry. You'll feel better after a while as you get used to life like this."

"Really?" Rosalie looked up at him. "Will I get used to not having my child by my side?"

"You can go see Steve. He'll always be there and won't run away. You're not losing him completely. Three months later, he'll come back to stay with you. Rose, since you made this decision, you have to get over it. It'll be tough at the start, but I'll be with you."

Rosalie nodded. "Thank you, Justin."

Justin's heart ached as he wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Alright, darling. Will you please stop crying?"

Rosalie still felt shy every time Justin called her darling.

She nodded. "I'll stop. Let's turn in."
