Chapter 1788


    Everything in the house bore the signature of her solitary life. If not for that dog, there would be no


    traces of him. He wondered if the vi was destined to be her solitary


    sanctuary


    From the slippers, toiletries, to the silverware


    As for why he remembered a te so clearly? He had no choice. All the items in this house were


    prepared by her, everything was in pairs Same style, same brand, and same pattern. The only way


    to distinguish between hers and his was through the color or some small details


    She had just served her meal on a te sporting the same pattern as his His was a deep navy


    while hers was a soft pastel pink


    At first nce, he scoffed at these details However, the visual imprint was so profound that the


    sudden absence of his half was ringly obvious c2


    Rose, however hadn’t thought much about it. She was infuriated at the time, so she discarded


    everything. She never expected his abrupt return


    As she slowly bit into her morning sandwich, she nced at Morrison’s empty te After a few


    seconds, she finally said “Your te i identally chipped it


    “A convenient excuse Momson shot her a cold nce, sarcastically cutting her off


    Rose paused her expression Turning sour


    It seems you’ve been livingfortably on your own. I’m sorry to have disrupted that”


    Rose ced her fork and knife down and stood up, leaning against the table Across the dinner


    table, she looked at him with a calm and indifferent gaze


    ” did throw away your things. Seeing them reminded me of how pitiful and ridiculous I am You have


    your persistence, pride, and stubbom thoughts. You think marrying me ruined your life. That’s your


    perception, and others might say the same, but I can’t feel the same way if I deny myself, I wouldn’t


    just be betraying myself, but also the baby


    I’m carrying


    “Momson, do you think I married you because I am pregnant, and I just want to bind you to this life?


    I put my life on the line too


    “You feel angry and wronged because your things were discarded. But have you ever thought about


    how I feel? Every time I return home i see your things everywhere. And what about the months you


    left me alone in this house without a word? What were you thinking? How much space do I upy


    in your heart or your ns?”


    Rose clenched the edge of the table suppressing the flood of sorrow welling up within her, and said


    calmly. “Morrison, I didn’t marry you to be humiliated like this


    Momson remained silent for a long time, just staring at her. After what felt like an eternity, he finally


    spoke. “I gave you a choice. You insisted on keeping the baby and marrying into the Witt family. You


    knew what kind of manage you were getting into, Now you tell me how pitiful and wronged you feel


    Rose, do you have the right to say these things? Who do you think brought us to this point?”


    “It was me “Rose closed her eyes and let out a bitter smile, her heart feeling sour


    Morrison’s heart inexplicably tightened at her admission When she opened her eyes, ready to say


    something else, he turned and left. “If you know, then it’s enough if have self–esteem and dignity,


    don’t y the victim in front of me. Don’t hold onto any high hopes. The one thing I won’t do is to


    fulfill someone elses desires


    With that, the door to the vi opened and closed. The grand house fell into deathly silence once


    more


    Fulfilling others desires So he knew about her feelings and expectations for him, but he wouldn’t be


    with her because being with her would mean fulfilling her desires?


    Rose stood still for a long time before sitting down, picking up her fork and knife, and continuing her


    unfinished breakfast


    What else could she do?


    Running after him to apologize and ask him not to leave? Begging him for a chance to give them a


    try?


    Her dignity wouldn’t allow her to do that She had been disappointed from the start and had grown


    ustomed to it. Now, all she could do was face the disappointment. calmly


    His words today brutally tempted her to utter the words of surrender. She was on the brink of giving


    up, but Momson didn’t give her the chance. After that fleeting moment. when she didn’t say it, she


    couldn’t bear to say it anymore


    Since graduation, they had been living in separate cities with no intersection in their careers


    If it werent for the baby she wouldn’t have made the determined decision to marry him. She wanted


    to fight for her love, and to avoid any regrets in her were finally together she couldn’t possibly give


    up so easily


    Once she said if she and Morson would be over Completely over with no intersection in their lives,


    worse than strangers How could she bear 17


    She finished the rest of her sandwich mixed with bitterness Roseposed herself, stood up, and


    cleared away the untouched breakfast te that


    Possessiveness wasn’t exclusive to men She would wait a bit longer


    At the very least she was his wife


    At the very least. Mrs With couldn’t be anyone else


    She went upstairs to tidy the rooms also cleaning the guest room where Mornson spent the


    previous night


    His homewear was still tossed on the bed the bedding was in disarray And on the floor beside the


    bed, there was also a pile of bags from br


    She paused, and walked over to take a look. They were all suits, homewear, and ever


    ear in hea size. Clearly, he nned to stay


    that they


    Rose’s heart fluttered for a moment, but she quicklyughed bitterly Obviously after the recent


    argument between them, these things of his were once again reduced to


    mere decorations


    Still she took out the clothes and ced them in the wardrobe one by one. After tidying up. i was


    past nire. She prepared food and water for the retriever, paddes keys and headed to the office


    She couldn’t stop her own life for Momson At least, in an uncertain future she could protruse her


    son a certain one


    For her sons ke she resolved “Stay strong. Rose


    She lingered in the parking lot for a long time, gently rubbing her pregnant belly, silently


    encouraging herself before shing a sinde and stepping o


    in public, she always maintained a vibrant, high–spirited image. Her sumple professional outfit


    paired with back fi?ty made her look harmad?ble even with | baby bump


    Thankfully, she had thispany, a ce where she could escape her


    Momson didn’te home that night, or for several rights following Her life hotel


    With little Moon keeping herpany her life seemed to have improved significantly


    Chap


    While her employees were initially nosy about her personal life, they soon got used to it and


    eventually forgot about it


    In fact, everyone seemed to forget about her They forgot that she was the youngdy of the Witt


    family in R City, and they forgot about her sham mamage


    Her encounter with Morrison a few days ago was unlikely to be remembered by anyone. Both of


    them were living separate lives, as if nothing had happened


    Rose could somewhat understand why Chloe managed to stayposed throughout her


    pregnancy, despite countless ups and downs


    She couldn’t let her emotions affect the baby She was now an expert at controlling her emotions, in


    a few days she had to go for a check up


    Today, Winston wasing to R City. Given his importance, it was only fitting that she personally


    picked him up from the arport


    Due to Winstons difficulty with waking up early, his assistant had booked him ate morning flight


    and arranged for him to stay at a hotel near the airport the right before This way, Winston could


    wake up at nine, get ready, and head straight to the airport without any issues.


    After a couple of hours of flying it was already noon


    Rose, having skipped breakfast to wait for Winston, nned to treat him to lunch


    Momson’s fans were already waiting at the arrival gate Fearing they might identally bump into


    her, Rose had agreed with Momson to wart for ham in the underground


    parking lot


    Winston inevitably got mobbed by fans for a bit. While his assistant dealt with the fans, he took the


    elevator down to B3 found where Rose har parkeri, and got into the passenger seat. He then took


    off his hat, tossed it onto the back seat and casually ran his fingers through his hair. A handsome


    yet rebellious man was now fully in wea


    Rose could help but take a second look at him With his looks, he was certainly God’s favorite


    creation in addition, he was talented it would be a travesty if Winston


    didn’t make it big


    Winston turned to her “What are you looking at?


    Rose raised an eyebrow. Im calcting how much money your face can make me


    Winston buckled his seatbelt. “Isn’t my endorsement fee a bit low?


    Rose stepped on the gas immediately


    Shouldn’t there be a raise for the new product endorsement?”


    Rose pursed her lips. “No”


    (will unkaterally breach the contract


    That would require a penalty”


    Winston smirked “Do you think ick that kind of money?


    Rose was exasperated. “If you don’tck money why haggle over the endorsement fee I’m going to


    comin to Chloe. I’ll tell her you’re taking advantage of me


    Winston nced at her disdainfully. “Women always tattling since childhood and you haven’t grown


    out of it even at this age


    Rose was speechless


    This guy judging by his tone, must have been rafted out a lot during his childhood He probably still


    had a phobia from it


    Tam hungry What are we eating? Winston didn’t want to continue this pointless joke Leaning back


    in his seat, he looked rxed


    “Don’t worry, I’ve already booked a restaurant.”


    “At least you have some sense


    “Have you finished filming your movie?


    “Hmm almost


    The two chatted casually on the way to the restaurant


    To match Winston’s status as an intemational movie star Rose had booked one of the best


    restaurants in A City Winston nodded approvingly. Houm, very sincere.


    Of course


    Rose smiled and they got out of the car and walked in


    Winston was slightly dyed at the airport so by the time they arrived, many people were already


    finishing their meals


    Rose checked in at the front desk, and when she gave het name, the staff members raised their


    heads to look at her with inexplicable expressions.


    Frowning, she asked coldly What?


    No nothing We’ll take you to your private room right away


    As the staff member spoke their eyes strayed to Winston standing next to Rose


    Winston was dressed in high


    to ignore

    Without changing her expression, she followed the wadipss with Winston walking |


    Winston looked at the waitress chuckied and whispered to Rose. Are you abou

    “In R City you re no one but your husband is famous if you’re getting attention, da probably because


    of your husband into elsa


    Hoses expression was icy. What are you trying to say?”


    Winston chuckled. Are you asking me? Maybe you should ask your husband


    What had Momson done? What could he have done that made


    If it were as Winston had implied the inte would already be buzzing How could it possibly be this


    quet?


    However, just as she was about to refute Winstona assumption, her steps gradually care 1 halt.
