Chapter 1783


    Chloe paused for a moment before replying. “Not exactly At first, I just wanted to protect myself and


    learn a few things, but then it was about trying to build a better life”


    The better life required sacrifices No one can live without worries.


    Rose nodded, “Well, what’s done is done I hope you keep being happy Spare me some worries


    Chloe turned to look at her. “That’s something I should be saying to you”


    Rose hesitated for a moment, gazing at the construction site in the distance, and sighed. In the end,


    Chloe, my child will be my everything I’ll be a mother, someone who needs to protect her child, not


    someone who needs protecting Just like you said, to live better, we need to take care of ourselves


    first if you can do it, so can 1 c2


    Her tone became more rxed as she looped her arm through Chloe’s. “You don’t have to worry


    about me, especially since I have such a strong supporter in you”


    Chloe smiled. As long as you know


    Rose raised an eyebrow “Well I n on clinging to you for life”


    As they retraced their steps, Rose bid Chloe farewell From now on you need to focus on your


    pregnancy and nothing else I worry when you’re in trouble so think of me and the babies and just


    rx, okay?


    Rose was genuinely scared of Chloe’s restlessness. She never seemed to take a break.


    Chloe resignedly nodded. “Fine I got it I take a break”


    “That’s a relief You’re four months pregnant with twins, and soon you won’t be able to move around


    as much I can’t keep running around either your husband is Batly going nuts. I really can’t stay here


    any longer. I booked a flight for tomorrow morning We’ll meet again once the babies are born.”


    Chloe squeezed her hand, not trying to stop her Rumors about Rose and Morrison’s marriage were


    already circting on the inte, if she stayed any longer, it would only harm their reputations


    The inte was buzzing with spections about Rose and Morrison Morrison’s indifference


    towards Rose brought out the schadenfreude in some.


    Isn’t she asking for it? Scheming to get to the top by getting pregnant, isn’t it enough that he married


    her? What else does she want?]


    But they do have a child together, and she couldn’t have gotten pregnant without him. Why are you


    ming everything on her?]


    [Please, everyone knows Momson has another woman on his mind. Remember the drama with his


    family? If it wasn’t for Rose’s deliberate seduction, would he have gotten involved with her?|


    [Also weren’t Morrison, this so–called Mrs. Witt and that girl schoolmates?]


    Tsk tsk a love triangle from their school days. But Mrs. Witt sure is cunning, not only did she


    be his wife, she’s also having his child. Quite impressive |


    “Attention passengers traveling from P City to R City, flight RA1992 is now boarding”


    As the boarding announcement echoed through the airport, Rose put away her phone, picked up


    her handbag, and walked towards the boarding gate expressioniessly


    She was calm She had to be


    She was no stranger to suchments. She’d seen and heard it all, even the disdainful and wary


    looks from others. She knew it all too well, and was almost numb to it.


    The flight from P City to R City took over two hours. Upon finding her seat, she took out her phone


    again, nced at the empty inbox and call log forced a smile, and turned off her phone


    The flight attendant stayed by her side until the ne took off and leveled out, then she left.


    The first ss cabin was quitefortable She sat back in her seat, watching the fluffy white clouds


    outside. Her face was calm, her thoughts seemed to be drifting away She should clean up the room


    first upon returning, making sure to wash the bed sheets and covers. The flowers at home also


    needed watering. She should head to the grocery store first to buy some groceries, ensuring she


    had good food to eat.


    Bnced nutrition, so when her son was born, he would be healthy.


    She could rest at home today, and head to thepany tomorrow


    With Winstons endorsement and Chices rising fame, thepany’s product sales had significantly


    increased. This led to more possibilities and responsibilities, shed probably have a lot of reports to


    go through in the next few days


    She could still live a well–ordered life on her own. At the very least she wouldn’t deprive herself of


    anything. She never did


    Taking a deep breath, she pulled the nket over herself, lightly cing her hand on her stomach


    Silently, she gazed at the blue sky and white clouds outside the


    gradually closing her eyes


    When the announcement fornding came on, she opened her eyes nced around, sighed, and


    sat up straight


    Once the nended smoothly, she took a cab to the grocery store, then headed home


    Just as she’d nned on the ne, she prepared some food made some soup, cleaned her room,


    and did theundry in between. She d’asionally simmering in the kitchen


    Everything was going smoothly


    After the chores were done she made herself two dishes, then went to the kitchen to get the soup


    she made earlier


    This was something she learned from the nutritionist at the Harper family along with marty babies


    Though it didn’t taste as good as a professional chefs, it was still edible


    seals and soups that were beneficial for pregnant


    After finishing her soup, she took the dried covers from the washing machine andid them out.


    Looking at the immacte room, she sighed, feeling quafie content.


    Feeling a bit sweaty she went upstairs to change her clothes. As she entered her bedroom and


    opened the wardrobe, her eyes unintentionally fell upon the other half of the wardrobe She had


    purposely left a lot of space there but it only housed two sets of mens clothing


    Her heart ached unexpectedly, reminding her of the humerous scenarios shed imagined when they


    got mamed


    They could have had every meal together barring the asional busy schedule. There were his


    and hers toothbrush cups in the bathroom, his and hers bathrobes hanging in the shower room, his


    and hers clothes hanging in the wardrobe


    The slippers were for two, the dinnerware was for two, and the drinking sses were for two


    Everything would be for just the two of them


    Now, it was indeed just the two of them, but the sight was too ironic.


    She moistened her lips, opened another door in the wardrobe, and hung all her dresses that wem


    piled in there in the vacant space


    In the end, she didn’t even change her clothes. She went into the bathroom, gathered the other


    bathrobe, the other toothbrush cup and ran downstairs, throwing away the slippers in the hallway,


    the dishes in the kitchen, and the drinking sses everything


    After she had finished all that, she stood in the middle of the living room, her chest heaving gasping


    for hmath, her eyes red nimmed


    The sadness and humiliation in her heart filted her whole body. She swallowed hand trying to force


    back the bitterness welling up in her, but the tears still fell from her eyes. A single tear shattered the


    defiance she had built up


    Her breathing was punctuated by quiet sobs, her chest felt tight, and she was indescribably


    ufortable She covered her belly with her hand, tilted her head back and took a deep breath,


    stubbornly holding back the tears that were threatening to spill over


    After a while, she seemed to have calmed down, let out a long breath sat down on the couch, and


    laid her arm acmas her eyes


    For a time the whole room was eerily quiet. Only the dust particles floating in the air were silently


    spending their lives in the sunlight


    The sudden ringing of the phone shattered the tranquility of the entire room. She suddenly


    remembered something sat up straight, and picked up the phone from the coffee table, answering


    the call


    Rose did you get home safely? Chloe’s anxious and worried voice came through the receiver.


    Oh, I’m sorry I forgot. I was cleaning up and before I knew it waste ‘Her voice sounded


    completely different from her previous mood, as if nothing had happened. She even sounded


    cheerful


    Chice breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good. I’ve been waiting for your call”


    Tm sorry, I really forgot Well, I made the soup that the nutritionist gave me today Although it’s a little


    off, it’s still delicious


    Chloeughed softly “I can’t wait to see what other delicious things he’ll make. I’ll have him tell you


    the recipe when the timees


    “That sounds great Rose said cheerfully Imagine howpatible my son and my daughter–inw


    will be if we eat the same things during our pregnancies, right?” “What does eating the same things


    have to do with beingpatible?” Chloe was helpless. Rose was trying to find a wife for her son,


    and she could find a connection in


    anything


    “Of course They’ve been in sync since they were in the womb. When they’re born, it’ll be easy for


    them to hit it off, at least they’ll have the same tastes


    Chloeughed. “Maybe”


    “Definitely


    Rose took a deep breath and started. “I just had dinner. I’m going to go out for a walk, so I’ll talk to


    youter”


    Chloe nodded. ‘Ainight, don’t go too far, and be safe.”


    “Okay”


    After hanging up the phone, Rose held the phone and leaned back on the couch, letting out a deep


    sigh


    With Chloe’s worrywart personality, if she detected any other emotions in Rose’s voice, who knows


    what she would do


    Right now Rose shouldn’t be staying in this room. After a while, she stood up, put her phone on the


    coffee table, and went upstairs


    When she came back down, she had changed into a loose cotton dress that protected her well. She


    grabbed her phone and keys and finally left the house


    She drove to a nearby mall, bought two sets of radiation–proof maternity clothes, then found herself


    wandering into a baby store


    These things were enough to calm her restless heart Baby cribs, baby strollers, baby clothes,


    cartoon teething rings, baby bathtubs, small towels, and toiletries, the store


    had everything


    She wanted to buy almost everything she saw and she did buy a lot When the store manager saw


    her, he suggested that she leave her address and they would deliver her purchasester Rose


    dly agreed


    She went down to the rest area, ordered a cup of hot cocoa, and watched the children ying


    happily in a small indoor yground. Most of their parents were resting and watching them, their


    smiles soft Rose knew that seeing their children’s happy faces would make them even happier.


    Suddenly a little girl ran into her mothers arms and began to cry for no reason


    “What’s wrong baby? The young mother asked her, with a look of sympathy on herface


    “The little bunny The little bunny is dead”


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Rose was surprised and turned to look at a corner of the area, where there was a small pet house.


    She raised an eyebrow and walked over out of curiosity


    Many children had already crowded around the entrance, their eyes full of curiosity


    inside, a pet doctor in a blue coat was silently cing a white rabb in a small box presumably to


    dispose of it From beginning to end, the rabbit did not move its long mara lifelessly hanging, devoid


    of any vitality


    She pursed her lips, looking at the fluffy little heads, and blinked her eyes. Eventually she walked in


    and a staff member immediately greeled her with an


    “Miss, how may I help you today?


    Rose hesitated for a moment, then said. I hope to have a pet that can apany my baby, one that


    is non aggressive and can gently y with tun. Do you have any rmendations?”


    The employee looked at her belly smiled and said, “In that case, a dog would be perfect. Not only


    can they keeppany, but they are also gentie and attentiv Sometimes when you cant take care


    of the baby, they can do it for you. Whether its for children or adults, they are the genstest and most


    loyalpanions.”


    Rose was intrigued and nodded, “Can I see


    “Of course”


    In the end, Rose chose a golden retriever puppy bought some dog food, and asked the employee


    for some advice. Then she left with her arms full of purchases When she got home, she made a


    small nept for the puppy on the balcony After some thought she pulled out the brand new cotton


    slippers she had prepared for from the trash bag and threw them in front of the puppy


    Perhaps due to the warmth, or maybe because of pure amusement, the golden retriever had little


    trouble adjusting to its new home and owner picked up a slipper and began to chew on it
