Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore)
Chapter 748

Yvonne arrived at her grandmother's house. After her parents had divorced, her mother returned to her family's home.

The moment she stepped in, Chandra Fisher walked over. "Vonnie, you're here."

Chandra was Yvonne's grandmother and Xyla's mother, the matriarch of the Carter family. At 80 years old, she took care of herself well and looked just slightly over 50.

She had an imposing aura about her, one that belonged to a strong-willed and powerful woman. Yet, when she looked at Yvonne, she was all smiles and looked every bit the benevolent grandmother. "Grandma," Yvonne said as she approached Chandra and wrapped her arms around the latter's arm. "What's up?"

Chandra smiled warmly; she pulled Yvonne to the couch, and sat her down.

"I missed you. Must you only come when something happens?"

"No," Yvonne said. "Grandma, I was just worried about you. I thought something had happened when you called me, so I rushed all the way here."

"My good granddaughter, I didn't dote on you in vain."

"Oh yes, Grandma. How's Mom?"

Chandra glanced upstairs, and sighed.

"Grandma, is Mom still in a bad mood? I'll go check on her."

Yvonne was about to head upstairs, but Chandra held her back.

"Let your mother be alone for a while. She was married to your father for so many years. It's natural she feels terrible with the sudden divorce."

Chandra sighed.

"Back when she told me and your grandfather about it, she insisted on getting married to him. Now that I think about it, your mom was defending your father, worried that your grandfather and I might cause trouble for your father." Yvonne held Chandra's arm. "Grandma, I can see for myself the relationship between Dad and Mom. To be fair, Dad didn't mistreat Mom in terms of her quality of life, but they've fallen out of love for each other since a long time ago."

"My silly girl," Chandra said. "You don't understand your mother. You have no idea what she did to marry your father. She almost cut off all ties with me and your grandfather! She loved your father so much."

"Is that so?" Yvonne had never heard about these things. "Mom never told me about it."

"Of course she wouldn't. Geoffrey had just started his business at that time. That rascal was talented and ambitious, but I didn't replace him decent at all. That was why your grandfather and I didn't want him marrying our daughter. But your mom is a stubborn one. She refused to eat or drink, and lost twenty kg just so she could marry him. Your grandfather and I had only one daughter, and our heart ached for her.

"Subsequently, your mom got pregnant with his baby. It was all too late. Left with no choice, your grandfather and I finally agreed for them to get married."

"I see... I didn't know about all these. Mom never told me about it. She should have."

Chandra shook her head, and said helplessly, "So what if she told you about it? She's a foolish woman, loving your father so senselessly while he merely made use of her to achieve success. We failed to persuade her against it, and could only let her have her way." "Grandma, do you mean that Dad was able to become so successful because of Mom?"

"Yes. Although we don't like our son-in-law, he did marry our daughter after all. It was natural for us to help him out. Be it in the political or business world, we paved the way for him and ensured success in all his endeavors. Over the years, he has proved his mettle and has shown us respect by not screwing things up. What's more, you two have grown up and are my beloved grandchildren. No matter the ulterior motives your father has at the start, we're family and must help each other out."
