Chapter 1793

Tm beat You can go and do whatever you want

She didn’t want to say too much to him because over the past few days, she had noticed thatMomson never had anything positive to say to her Every sentence seemed to carry a cutting edgestabbing at her heart She didn’t want to engage with someone who made her feel so uncomfortableMoreover she knew full well that with all the drama that had unfolded today, he was probablyharboring a lot of pent up anger

She slipped under the covers and tumed to her side Momson stood at the doorway unable to decidewhether to enter of leave

Each encounter with het was met with an increasing coldness. The words spoken by that man atthe hospital buzzed around in his heart like a swarm of flies. Did she really think she could replaceanother man be their baby’s stepfather?

Preposterous. He would like to see who was bald enough to be his baby’s stepfather (2

A wave of anger rose within him, but the image of Rose standing at the restaurant entrance coupledwith what the doctor had said earlier, gave him a sense of unease

Eyeing the lump under the covers. Morison squinted and eventually decided to leave the room

He went downstairs and pulled out a cigarette heading for the balcony However a young dog’s barkinterrupted his peace.

He glanced at the golden retriever puppy, lit his cigarette and kicked the pup aside.

“Woof woot wool

The puppy started barking again. Momson frowned and looked back towards the upstairs. Aftertaking a deep drag from his cigarette, he stared down the puppy if barking | might butcher you.

Wool woof, woof

Momson crouched down, fixating his gaze on the seemingly innocent retriever He muttered. Thewoman’s resting upstairs, are you sure you want to keep this up

intimidated by Momson’s sudden display of authority, the puppy retreated and reduced its barking toa whimper

Morrison chuckled Coward

He then realized his petty behavior and glanced at the dog food bowl, water dish, and his otherslipper in the dog bed. His expression darkened He reached into the dog bed. retrieved his slipper,and tossed it in front of the puppy ‘Stop barking Everything you eat, drink and play with belongs tome Get real Behave, and | might consider keeping you around

The puppy whimpered and took the “toy slipper” into its bed it seemed to have calmed down.

Momson watched as the puppy retreated into its bed, gnawing at his slipper, his mood inexplicablysour

Rose had heard the puppy’s barking from upstairs She wanted to check on the situation but didn’twant to give Momson an opportunity to pick a fight. She was still aimed about the potential for afull–blown confrontation between the two

PH

The thought amused her A standoff between Momson and the little pup? The puppy would likely bedefeated

Downstairs on the balcony Morrison stood by the window his cigarette replaced by a fresh one

Recently Rose’s cold demeanor reminded him of when they were in school together. She hadalways carried herself like a princess, flaunting her pride and vib Wherever she went all eyesfollowed her Boys tried to win her over in various ways, but she was too proud to give them asecond look

And him, he had seen plenty of these so–called ‘princesses Elegant and beautiful on the surface,but pompous and domineering underneath. Born into wealthy families. they were innatelyhypocritical and it seemed that bullying the weak was almost ingrained in their nature. There was noexception

His family had always preached about marrying within the same social class. There was no freedomin marriage their lives destined to be a sacrifice for the he was expected to marry a hypocriticalpretentious princess?

Families Se

His ingrained resentment had already become a part of him And Rose, from the moment he met herhe had been certain that she was his kryptonite if there was one woman he would never marry inthis lifetime Rose would be on top of his blacklist

However the woman who was supposed to be out of his life after graduation ended up as his wife itwas amusing and ironic

He knew the baby in her womb was his, but to say that it was an unintended consequence of hisactions.

Yes, and no

The few encounters they had had over the past couple of days, the uncontrollable physicalreactions he had whenever he saw her, and the thoughts that ensued difficult for him to face thereality

This had never happened before He had never felt this way about any woman Well except when hewas in school

But now that he thought about it the only woman who had ever sparked such a rare feeling in himwas this woman He had thought it was a north experienced during their impulsive years. The onlything to blame was Roses good looks her nice figure and the fact that she knew how to dress andherself. She indeed seemed to know how to highlight her best features. It made sense why so manyboys were drawn to her

So it was her fault. She was too attractive and she unknowingly flaunted it in front of turn every day.Like a butterfly, she fluttered in his presetice, polien on him before fluttering away it seemedintentional and unintentional

That was why he had chosen a oman who was completely different from Ros background as hispartner

Chapter

Rose’s unexpected intrusion into his room was a clear mistake that he consciously let slide. Theimage of her with Winston was too glaring for him to ignore

And there she was always around him, so close yet untouchable, planting a seed that keptsprouting within him

His secret desires, nurtured over the years, finally found an outlet when she mistakenly entered hisroom during the school reunion. He hadn’t thought about the consequences at the time. All he knewwas that Ross was wrapped around him too tight, and the unprecedented feelings she stirred up inhim didn’t allow him to think,

further

He got the girl. When he opened his eyes the next day and saw her that was the first thought thatcame to his mind. However, Rose’s initial surprise and her eagerness to clear herself of anyassociation with hum instantly killed that thought

“We’re both adults and it’s normal to indulge in a bit of fun. You don’t need to feel burdened

Her words were cold and top malisti, making him feel like he was the woman in the situation

She had initially cleared herself of any obligation, acting magnanimously and understandingly, butsoon after she cleverly used the baby an a pretext to marry him. Now, she felt wronged and pitifuland he became the heartless villain

She seemed to be in charge of the whole situation Damn woman

He squinted his eyes feeling a burning sensation at his fingertips. He quickly put out the cigarette hehad smoked to the buff

The golden retriever puppy in its doghouse was curled up asleep with a slipper. He shot it a coldglance walked into the living room grabbed has coat, and left

Rose woke up after more than an hour of sleep, and it was already getting dark outside Shefumbled for the remote control to turn on the light, and the bathroom, and then went downstairs toprepare her dinner

Little Moon had been sleeping. As soon as it heard the sound it crouched at the stairway waiting forher

Seeing Little Moons cheerful demeanor made Rose feel a lot better. She gave a small smile,remembering the imaginary dog human war she had imagined

bed

Now the dog was here but the man was not

She paused, turned back to check the room next to the master bedroom–it was still as she hadcleaned it in the morning. Pursing her lips, she closed the door downstars and directly into thekitchen

It was shi a dinner for one with a soup, and two dishes Little Moon watched her eat

After cleaning up, Rose’s phone rang suddenly. When she saw who was calling, her expressionchanged slightly. She answered the phone, her lips curling into a stiff smie

Hello

Rose The mans voice on the other end didn’t sound too good “You left me here on my own, withouta care What the hell are you thinking?

Winston was particularly upset now He had thought that Rose, as a neighbor on the first day, wouldat least put on a show?

He was starving and it was already seven oclock, and she hadnt even bothered to call him once

Rose forced a laugh. Im sorry I wasn’t feeling well today, so I neglected you. I’ll make it up to younext time.

“And what about now? | m your spokesperson, your cash cow, and I’m about to starve to death youknow?”

Rose glanced down at the pajamas she was wearing and considering the chilly weather outside herlaziness gave her a thousand solutions

“I really can’t today How about order you some takeout?”

1 come over to your place and you want me to eat takeo

“No, I have my staff order the best food in R City and have it delivered to you You’ll just have to bearwith it for one night

Rose this is the last time You can forget about us working together again after this

Please the great movie star Winston wouldn’t hold a grudge against a pregnant woman, right? ithank you on behalf of myself and your nephew. When your nephe TTI make sure to tell him howawesome his Uncle Winston is

Winston twitched his lips his goddamn nephew Did he agree to be this Uncle Winston?

“Ainght (1) arrange dinner for you night now. Please wait a moment

After hanging up she quickly dialed her assistants number

Once giving all the instructions, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She tapped her head, andthought to herself, “How could you forget such an im have you gone mad from your pregnancy”

Little Moon was crouching in front of her titing its little head in confusion

Rose for a deep breath walked to the sola and turned on the TV She deliberately chose a well–reviewed variety show, and with quilt to epsode

After estimating the time she went upstairs to wash up

The golden retriever who had a short memory followed her upstairs only to be sprayed with theshower head

As it yelped from being bullied Rose laughed out loud. Taking Little Moon home was the bestdecision ever

Despite everything that had happened today she was sell in a good mood. She didn’t have time tothink about thoar

When Mumson returned home with a bag of stuff he could hear Rose’s laughter from upstairs themoment he opened ther

Morrison glanced at her, then at her hands, realizing she was bathing the dog. He shifted his gazeback to Rose’s face, and in an instant, as if remembering something his gare sharply fell back to herhands

Then, in two strides, he was right next to Rose. He reached out and took the towel she was using todry the dog

Rose also realized something She opened her mouth wide, attempting to cover it up, but it wasalready too late

“Rose Morrison’s voice wasn’t loud but it was deep enough to make her heart skip a beal Please tellme this is not the towel I used last night”

Roses eyelashes trembled, and she lowered her head slightly Perhaps the stark contrast betweenMorrison using this towel to wipe his hair last night and his current cold and indifferent gaze was too

striking She couldn’t resist and subtly smiled

She kept her head down, making the curve of her lips even more subtle Monson, for a moment,thought he was just imagining it. But as he continued to watch, the curve seemed to grow bigger Hisbrows furrowed and he reached out to lift her chin

And there it was, the smile on Rose’s face, laid bare in front of him

Momson’s mood instantly plummeted again
