Chapter 1787
As soon as she finished speaking, something in the nket began to squirm, and it was definitely
not Rose’s hand. Rose’s expression subtly changed, holding her golden retriever puppy a bit tighter
“Mmm woof woof” A sound of discontent came from the nket
Morrison’s expression changed, his eyes suddenly darkening, as cold as ice. Grabbing the nket,
he flung it open with force.
“Ah Rose gasped Momson’s strength was too much, even the nket covering her was flung off
She kept her eyes shut, the golden retriever puppy broke free from her arms breathing in fresh air,
happily spinning around the bed.
Morrison was taken aback when he spotted the creature that had suddenly appeared Regaining his
senses, he stood there watching the little thing, his face so gloomy as if a storm was approaching
c2
He must be crazy For such a small creature, he had actually suspected Rose cheated on him
After a brief moment of excitement, little Moon noticed the third person in the room. It immediately
stood on the bed, baring its teeth at Momson and barked incessantly
It looked extremely aggressive”
Morrison took a deep breath, reached out and picked it up by its scruff
“Woof woof woof
“Mmm mmm
“Woof woof woof
At first. Moon was still quite “aggressive“, but after struggling for a while with no results, it could only
whimper pitifully at Rose.
Rose sat up from the bed. “You let it go She had thought that Moon would be happy with her, but
who would have thought that in less than two days, its life would be in
danger
Momson stared at her coldly. “You don’t like to sleep with people, but you like to sleep with
animals?”
Rose’s face gradually cooled. ‘Yes, I indeed prefer to sleep with animals”
“I didn’t know you had this peculiar preference” He said, holding the golden retriever, and directly
threw it out of the bedroom
The puppy yelped darting to one side
Rose quickly got off the bed to check on it, but the door was closed heavily. Morrison, filled with
anger, grabbed Rose’s wrist
She struggled. “Let me go
Morrison held her tight, preventing her from iling. “Are you sure you want to keep fussing over an
animal with me?”
At his words. Rose looked up, her eyes red, making Morrison pause
“An animal” She was furious Moon’s presence made her feel less lonely for the first time in the
nearly hundred days since she arrived here.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
He just suddenly came back today, yet he wanted to immediately deny the significance of Moonis
existence, on what grounds?
Taking a deep breath, she suppressed the emotions welling up. She looked straight at Monson, and
said calmly, “Morrison, I just brought Moon home yesterday. Do you know how I felt when I walked
in the door today?”
Roses eyes trembled, the defiance in her eyes didn’t include tears, but her eyes were burning m’l
open the door, and it pounces on me, jumping and barking. Do you know
how happy I was?”
She abruptly pulled back her hand looked at Morrison, and gave a bitter, sarcasticugh. It rushed
to greet me when I came home, making me feel that this house is finally not just upied by me
alone.”
Her reddened eyes made Morrison stop in his tracks.
You said im causing a fuss over an animal with you? Morrison, ask yourself, do you have any right
topare yourself with it?”
Momson’s eyes suddenly narrowed, ‘Rose
I’m sorry Morrison’s gloomy voice was interrupted by Rose’s clear voice I admit I was wrong to say
that, and I am sorry I’m not in a good mood right now, but I don’t want to get angry Momson, you’re
right, this is indeed your home too, you cane and go whenever you like But tonight, could you
please go out, at least, not appear in this
foom
Morrison squinted at her in silence, but she opened the door and walked out ahead of him. “Moon?
Moon! Her calling voice echoed in the hallway, worned yet gentle
Rose finally found the golden retriever in the dog house on the downstairs balcony, whimpering
pitifully: Her face was full of heartache, as she bent down and held it in her arms Are you feeling
unwell anywhere, hmm?”
She checked Moon while asking softly Moon whimpered lightly and buried its head in her arms.
Rose stroked its head, Tm sorry”
She held it up and stood up By the time she walked to the living room, Mornson had already
dressed neatly and came down from upstairs. Her eyes trembled, and the
stood in ce
Morrison didn’t hesitate and walked straight out the doo! The door closed heavily, the echo seemed
tost for a long time. It made the entire house seem even emptier
She scratched the golden retriever’s head and managed a bitter smile. “In the past, I always hoped
he woulde back at any moment. Today, when he finally came back, i ended up driving him
away in anger
Woof
“I guess this time he probably wonte back again
Rose smiled softly and walked upstairs with the dog
Unless there were important meetings. Rose wouldn’t force herself to get up early She went to bed
late after the right’smotion. She was sleeping soundly but was awakened by Moons incessant
barking
Reluctantly getting up from the bed and going downstairs, she found Moon next to the coffee table,
its neck, raised, barking happily at the man in the center of the living room That tall figure, even
without seeing his face, she knew who it was
She was surprised to see Morrison
Little Moon scampered toward her with its four small paws. Perhaps feeling there was support, its
barking seemed to grow louder
Morrison turned around, his expression Well, Rose had never seen him looking pleased around her
He was wearing a gray home outfit, his hair slightly disheveled. At the moment, he held a
toothbrush missing some bristles in one hand and a slipper in the other He looked at her coldly. Is
this what you call expired?”
Rose bit her lip. I gave it to Moon because it was past its due date
“Humph Momson snorted slowly closing the distance between them. It just arrived in this house two
days ago, and the things are in such a state. Obviously, it diderit happen just today Rose, dont you
think the timing of their expiration is quite coincidental?
His approach made Rose instinctively feel threatened and she took a few steps back. Morrison’s
gaze flicked over her shoulder then he reached out and pulled her into his arms, without a hint of
gentleness. She held her breath her hands braced against his firm chest her heart pounding
He used some force. The moment Rose fell into his arms, he smelled a faint breeze carried a subtle
fragrance
Their bodies were close close enough for him to feel her mounded belly against his lower abdomen
His eyes darkened slightly. You seem particrly upset with me. How deep is your resentment that
you’d give all my stuff to a dog?
Rose pushed against his chest, trying to create some distance between them, but he was as
immovable as a mock
The scent of him was familiar – it was the shampoo and body wash she usually used She had
thrown away everything of his that the could see and reach. He used her stuff to showerst night
This closeness made her heart flutter. She had no idea how to respond to his question
She did resent him so much that she threw away all his stuff Why should his belongings bother her
and affect her mood when he was nevering back
“You’re never around, so instead of letting them go to waste, why not put them to good use. At least
Moon doesn’t mind ‘
She intended to sound defiant, but there was a trace of hurt in her voice
Morrison looked at her Her hands pale and slender against his chest, were very noticeable.
“It seems you do hate me
Rose’s hands slightly tightened, and her eyshes fluttered. She couldn’t deny it. Just a while ago
she had vented her feelings, and now, even if she wanted to deny it for the
sake of her pride she couldn’t
Her hands on his chest rxed, and her body seemed to naturally lean into him. His arm around
her waist tightened a fraction, and he looked down at her hands, a strange
thought crossing his mind.
The memory of her underneath him, soft and entwined with him, felt so fresh Something
uncontroble surged within him, making his body tense slightly
Rose seemed to sense something She blushed and forcefully pushed him away, stepping back and
bumping into something She turned and saw the staircase handrail
Her eyes flicked, and she understood why Morrison had suddenly pulled her into his arms Suddenly,
there was a warmth in her heart, reigniting the once–cooling feelings for Momson
She looked up at him, “Why are you still here?”
Momson silently took back his hands. Upon hearing her words, he stared at her with dark gazes
and asked, “Is there something wrong with me being here?”
Rose tucked a stray hair behind her ear and tilted her head. “Didn’t you leavest night?”
Heh, my status in this house is even lower than a dog’s Why should I willingly leave? Momson
sneered.
Woof woot woot Perhaps sensing Momson’s hostility, little Moon started barking loudly at him
Morrisons expression darkened, and as he nced over, little Moon immediately whined and hid
behind Rose its cowardice was on full disy
But to Rose it looked incredibly cute and amusing She couldn’t help butugh, and bent down to rub
its chin “You little scaredy–cat.
“Woof wool woo! It seemed to be protesting, then seemed to be enjoying the petting
As for what Morrison had just said whether it was true or not she didn’t care. Even if it wasnt she
couldn’t guess what his real reason was.
However, seeing her smile Morrison felt a stab of irritation. His gazended on the golden retriever,
his eyes cold.
“What do you want for breakfast? || get it ready” Rose suddenly asked, and the awkwardness
between them was easily dissolved by the presence of little Moon
Momson nced at her and replied indifferently. Whatever before heading upstairs. He was as aloof
as ever
Woof woof woof
Seeing Momson leave little Moons courage returned, and it barked at his retreating figure.
Momson paused then turned and red at it with a furrowed brow
Rose was already used to his cold attitude and had turned to head towards the kitchen. When she
heard little Moon bark, she
Little Moon immediately fun and ran to Rose, cucling around her as it followed her
“What do you want for breakfast, Moon? How about some bacon?”
Woof wool
“That settles if then
Roses cheerful voice faded as she entered the dining room
Morrison stood there for a moment, his face cold, before heading.
He had only asked Zach to prepare clothes for him, not todeties Not being able to brush mua teeth
for a night was already hea ini. After goin
into the bedroom
He rummaged through the drawer, and finally found Huses spare fouthbrush. After freshening up
and changing, he vent downstars, she through the art
Little Moon was whining and barking, clearly driven mad by the smell
“Okay okay, you’ll get your food soon
Roses voice came through, filled with indulgence and helplessness. When she came out, she
happersed i
toward the patio, sha
casually said to him, “Breakfast is ready. You can go ahead and eat
Momson nced at the te in her hands, frowned slightly, then made his way to the dinning room.
Rose ced a te piled with strips of bacon on the patio, and her golden retriever immediately
trotted over
Returning to the dining room, she saw Morrison still standing there. She walked over and sat down
at one end of the table, questioning him with a puzzled expression, ‘Aren’t you eating?”
Momson’s gaze followed her as she sat down, his eyebrows furrowed, “Rose”
Rose picked up her knife and fork and began to eat the sandwich in front of her, “What’s up?”
“Was the te you were holding just now mine?”
Hearing this, Rose was taken aback. She looked up at the pure white te across from her and
pursed her lips.
Her reaction only further confirmed Morrisons suspicions Why did he say that? Because from the
moment he returned to this ce, in every aspect and every little detail, he had felt a growing sense
of rejection As if there was a deliberate attempt to erase himpletely from this ce it was a
feeling that had be increasingly palpable over the past few hours.
