Rose packed her own lunch.

Sure, the office had a cafeteria, and it was known for its strict standards when it came to foodsafety, but she still felt more comfortable eating food she cooked herself, even more so now thatshe was expecting With no one to look after her, she had to take extra care of herself

She wouldn’t compromise on anything regarding her child

There was a microwave in the break room. After heating her meal, she returned to her office. Afterjust taking a few bites, the phone rang. She took a glance at the paused and took a spoonful of foodbefore answering

“Hello“c2

“Rose dear, you’re back, right?” It was the voice of Grandma Megan.

“Yes, I got back yesterday.

“So you’re at the office now

“Yes, I’ve got some things to take care of is there something you need, Grandma?

Grandma Megan sighed. “Would you come back home when you have time? You haven’t visitedmuch since moving out and especially now that you’re pregnant, you cart always be so busy Comehome tonight I’ll have the kitchen prepare something delicious for you

Rose paused with her spoon in mid–air

“Rose, you need to come back. You’re pregnant now. You can’t overwork yourself. You have toprioritize the baby I’m not just saying this because the baby in a Witt, but also because you’re amother I suppose you know how precious and important that child is to you, right?”

Rose slowly put down her spoon her voice steady. “I know!

“Don’t push yourself too hard and if you have any problems, just tell me I’ll do everything I can tohelp you.”

Rose slightly smiled. “Thank you, Grandma ( come by tonight”

“Good good

Megan hung up the phone, her smile fading as she dialed another number. As soon as the phonewas answered, she snapped, “Come home for dinner tonight?

A deep, indifferent voice came from the other end. “I will check my schedule”

“I could be dead tomorrow. See if you can make some time to see me one last time!

With that, she slammed down the phone.

Molly, her daughter–in–law was startled by the outburst. “What’s the matter? Why would you sayyou’ll be dead tomorrow”

“It’s your beloved son’s fault. Can’t even come home for dinner without scheduling it.

Molly pursed her lips, speechless Morrison was indeed a headache. Any mention of him was boundto bring trouble.

“Let’s see if he comes home tonight If he doesn’t I really will drop dead for him to see. Make sure totell him it was all his fault.”

Megan stormed off into the kitchen, her voice echoing down the hall “Make sure to cook his favoritedishes. The ungrateful brat only knows how to upset me. Put some dog poop in his food”

Molly sighed

Of course the staff wouldn’t really put dog poop in their food. They knew very well that Megan didn’tmean what she said. While angry, she was still demanding they cooli her grandsons favorite food

She knew they wouldn’t actually add dog poop if they did, they’d probably lose their jobs.

Rose managed to get in touch with Winston in the afternoon. This time when she returned to P City,she had visited Mr. Peck.

He was getting on in years, and his legs were beyond recovery, but he seemed to be in good spirits

She had mentioned the new product endorsement to Winston earlier so this was more of a headsup

Winston had turned down many jobs because of his fathers situation, and he was currently free. MiPeck was getting tired of him hanging around the house agreed to hoses invite without a secondthought

“I have nothing going on might stay there for a while it is so inconvenient to stay at a hotel. Find mean apartment, and be night over

Rose was pleased. Perfect the owner of the apartment next door is going abroad for a couple ofmonths. Let the check for you.

Older people generally preferred quieter locations, so the mansion was built on the outskirts quate aance but the city verder

That was why Rose and Momson were given a separate house closer to the city after their weddingit was not only for the young people were not accustomed to such remote locations

Just as she finished her sentence, the sound of a car engine hummed outside the door. At first,Rose didn’t think much of it, but when she saw the tall figure at the door she was taken aback

It was winter and the days were short. The outside was pitch dark, but the man in the black sutstanding under the bright lights seemed to have an overpowering presence His face always seemedexpressionless, at least Rose found it hard to see anything beyond indifference.

She noticed his gaze land on her for a moment as he entered, but it was so brief that it made herfeel like everything was just her wratha ilusion.

Grandma Megan’s face turned cold at the sight of him, Tinally decided to show up? Could you givetme your schedda? So that when I’m on my deathba have time to come back and see me off?

Momson frowned the cold air from outside still clinging to him as he walked over “Alright, how doyou want me to apologist

can wait un

Megan glared at him in anger. So I’m the villain now because I wanted you to take a break fromwork? You’m busy with rk? How boty can you be if you still have time to

travel abroad”

Rose was taken aback, and her hand, held by Megan, twitched involuntarily

Megan clearly sensed her actions, but Rose just smiled faintly picked up a glass from the coffeetable and took a sip

Momson, on the other hand, remained calm, without the slightest change in his expression. Eventhough Megan had inadvertently sweated that she was having tim monitored, he remainedindifferent

1 was on a business trip

Megan snorted sarcastically, her words laced with undisguised sarcasm Rose, on the other hand,sipped her water in silence, her face expressiontess

“Are you really that buty? So much so that you have to travel abroad multiple times? Morison, dontforget you’m a married man now. Whem exactly do you your heart?

Rose knew Megan was desperate to secure her position in Momson’s heart. But at this moment,she felt more humiliated than ever

All the words emphasized one thing that in Morrison’s heart, there was another woman holding themost important place Wasn’t she his pregnant wife, the most ndiculous one in this situation?

It was only then that Morrison shifted his gaze to Rose “Is it so wrong for a married man to go on abusiness trip?”

“Rose is pregnant

“So should I chain her to me 24/7 to please you?”

Infuriated at Morrison’s retorts. Megan hissed, “You you ungrateful grandson”

“Grandma” Rose, who had been silent all this while spoke up. She put down her glass, her palmfeeling numb from the heat

We both have our own jobs to do I understand Morrison’s work commitments We’re both young andit’s normal for us to be busy”

She said this to defuse the tension between Morrison and Megan, and to defend herself as well. Ifthis continued, she couldn’t guarantee if Momson everything Like Megan suddenly blaming him wasbecause she had complained to her earlier.

Megan didn’t say anything more, but gave Morrison a fierce glare

Momson, however was busy eyeing Rose. “You sure seem generous now

Rose managed a smile and slowly stood up from the couch. She knew he’d think of her this way“That’s too kind of you to say”

She said placidly then turned to the maid standing by Is it time for dinner yet?”

The maid nodded in agreement

Megan also stood up. Then let’s eat

Rose walked over and linked arms with Megan She was not wearing an overcoat, just a grey, long–sleeved knitted sweater. The fitting garment pregnant belly

Mansons gaze lingered on her as she walked away her side profile devoid of makeup. He hadnever denied that Rose was beautiful and fer

out

Having grown up in a wealthy family, of course she was stunning The former prom queen wasn’tjust a title she obtained without reason.

When Momson took a seat beside her Rose’s eyes subtly flickered. His natural and i status: theywouldn’t be sitting this close

Jid blame fer for

actions created a

feeling within het. If not for their cumart

Seeing this, Megan’s mood improved considerably

The maid served dishes that surted Momson’s taste in front of him and Roses in front of her

The problem was Rose was pregnant and everything looked delicious to her so much so that shecouldn’t resist. Yet, no one but Momson had touched the dates in fur of him. Several times, shefound herself reaching for those dishes only to pull back at the last moment.

Megan was astute enough to catch her predicament. And so she instructed the maid standingnearby. “Swap the dishes in front of young master and

Ruse and Momson both paused Megan glared at Momson. You oblimeus bral

Morrison glanced at Rose She had just swept her eyes over the dishes in front of him and wasabout to look away when she tort has intense, dark jarn steaded herself and said calmly. “Actually Ididn’t really want to eat your food that much

Momson paused for a moment then huffed coldly

The others at the table couldn’t help but chuckia when they heard thes, leaving kose blushing withembarrassment

But the maid did as instructed and swapped the dishes. And Mornace didnt say anything

Now that the dates she had been crawing for were night in front of her hoan let too embarassed

Rose gave her an awkward smile She nodded and took a bite

True to her expectations the dish was a bit bland She was used to her food teng more favortul. Asher eyes wandered to the dishes that had been moved t

And then she heard the sound of fork being put down. Looking up, she saw Momson putting downfua fuck and picking up ha glass of water. He dran face expressionless. She was right next to him,close enough to notice his ears turning md, followed by ba face and neck.

She gaped at him in surprise, then burst out laughing after a few seconds. She had forgotten thatMomon didnt eat spicy food. There had to be a mason for los preference

for bland food

Back in their school days, she had never seen him eat anything spicy. Now she realized that itwasn’t that he didn’t eat spicy food, he simply couldn’t handle it. She rarely saw him looking souncomfortable

Her laughter drew a cold glare from Momson Rose put down her fork, stood up and swapped theirdishes back

“Hey Megan tried to stop her, but Rose sat back down, leaning on the edge of the table. I preferthese dishes She said pointing at the dishes in front of her

Megan didn’t utter a word in her world whatever her granddaughter in law fancied was goodenough. If Rose was happy, then that was all that mattered

The maid refilled Morrison’s glass of water for the second time. This time, he merely took a small sipbefore setting it down. “I’m fuft “

Rose paused momentarily in her eating but didn’t look up.

Molly, however, whispered “It’s not often we get you to come home for dinner. You’ve barely eaten athing”

She scowled. “Are you doing this on purpose? We do not need your attitude Eat it, and if you can’tfinish it. Il force it down your throat even if I have to cut off your head”

Megan didn’t hold back when it came to scolding Morrison, her words came out as naturally asbreathing, showing no mercy
