Mona paused for a few seconds before a strainedugh escaped her lips.

“So what you re saying is Morrison was just toying with my feelings all those years? A heartbreaker,
is that what you’rebeling him as? That’s your take on your own son?”
Molly kept her tone even “Not a heartbreaker, Mona Morrison’s just a clueless fool when ites to
love
Mona was speechless c2
“He doesn’t even know who he likes or loves How is he not a fool? It pains me to say this about my
own son, but it’s the truth”
Mona bit her lip harder, her frustration mounting. “Who he loves or doesn’t is for him alone to know
And even if it’s not me, it certainly doesn’t have to be Rose. If it weren’t for your elitist attitudes, why
push me away and ept her?”
“After all those years you spent studying side by side, dating him, are you really telling me you don’t
know who’s in his heart?”
A flicker of evasion crossed Mona’s gaze
“Morrison has always been good to me I never noticed him treating any other girl differently!”
Molly exhaled deeply “Look, since you’vee uninvited today, let’s have a heart–to–heart To be
honest, Mona, youe off as this pure and sweet girl, and people are drawn to that But a regr
student like you managing to stay by Morrison’s side for years, even causing him to rebel against
his family, it just goes to show that you’re not as simple–minded as you appear”
Tm not looking down on you. The Witts aren’t trying to force Morrison into a match that’s just about
social standing. You think I was oblivious to his high school romance? Far from it I’ve been watching
you two for a long time especially you”
“You’re not as kind and innocent as you seem. Mona
Mona’s eyes flickered, her expression darkened
“Morrison, with his Witt family background, what does heck? What does he covet? Should I
remind you of the series of thefts among the heiresses at your school around his birthday?”
Her cheeks flushed, and she shrank back her eyes darting away
“And that birthday party where you suddenly changed the location, causing Rose to miss
celebrating with Morrison do you dare deny it?”
There’s so much more I could bring up, but I’ll spare the details. You know what you’ve done. It’s
one thing for Morrison to date you, quite another for you to marry into the
Witts with ulterior motives
“But I must thank you. Your scheming against Rose only made it clearer who Morrison truly cares
for”
Mona stood there her face burning with embarrassment.
“kept your secrets, not wanting to ruin your life or let everyone see Momson’s poor judgment,
binding himself to someone like you for years. Even when he fought with us. left you with your
dignity. And now you use us of looking down on you?”
“Ask yourself, even if Morrison had no feelings for Rose, do you really deserve to be with him? How
will you face him and us in the future?”
Molly’s revtions left Mona reeling her darkest secretsid bare without warning, overwhelming
her with a sense of injustice.
Tears welled in her eyes, but her voice was defiant. “It was all because i loved Morrison! My family
might be average, but that shouldn’t be a barner between us! And it shouldn’t give Rose an
advantage to win him over! You don’t understand, I’ve been trying to bridge the gap between us..”
“That’s why I can’t approve of you and Morrison Why do you think he chose you? Because you
weren’t like those other rich girls. The very gap you tried to bridge was your
biggest advantage ”
Molly maintained herposure. “Gifts can’t cover the differences between you two. Does Morrison
care for such material things? That’s not how gaps are bridged. You see Rose as some arrogant
heiress, but she worked part–time to save up for Morrison’s birthday gift with her own money”
“Compare yourself Who would an observer prefer? Mona, you can be poor in wealth, but not in
spirit”
The room fell silent as Mona wiped the tears from her face, “it’s easy for those who’ve never worned
about money to preach. I regret those things I did, but my actions don?
define who I am
Molly looked at her steadily before saying, “In all the years you were with Morrison, he neverid a
hand on you, did he?”
Mona was taken aback
“if he had I’m sure you would’ve done anything to bear his child, to silence us all Even if it was a
facade, you never took that most direct path because
gave you the chance
if a man truly likes a woman, he can’t always control himself He’ll find every excuse to be close to
her, to have herpletely if he truly liked you, he would’ve given you plenty of chances but he
didn’t
Mona’s face was a mask of unbearable shame
A metallic taste filled her mouth
Standing there she felt exposed, stripped bare, with no right to resist
The shame was unbearable
She had been used of breaking up with Momson, now looking back their

Besides, Momson now he doesnt have room for you, not in his eyes, nor his heart I hope you ca
? care of yourself”
Outside the vi Rose hugged her down jacker tighter, taking a deep breath of the chilly air
The frosty breath seemed to clear her head a little
Had she really been wrong?
All those years of persistence, of stubbornness
She had always believed that sincerity and effort would win in the end if she just never gave up
The recent peaceful days had given her the illusion she was on the right track, making her heady
with hope
But the more she felt this, the more she realized how truly she loved Morrison
Morrison was grumpy, had a sharp tongue and a quick temper
Yet, none of these ws diminished her love for him
She even cherished his imperfections
She had scorned herself for it knowing she was beyond help
But everything seemed to be improving she had even started to dream of their future together
Years of persistence and obsession, never did the imagine they d be shaken by Mona’s sudden
appearance
After years apart seeing Morrison’s different demeanor towards Mona made her feel utterly drained,
No matter how hard she tried she couldn’t win Momson’s heart
Someone else lived there, a fact she couldn’t change
She had tried everything short of handing her heart to him on a tter, but he didn’t want it. She
couldn’t force him
Otherwise how could the face the indifference, or even disdain, as he tossed her heart aside?
Her eyes burned in the cold air
She felt powerless
She cared too much for Morrison, so even the slightest gesture from him was etched into her
memory
That’s why she couldn’t stand to see the way he looked at Mona, his attitude towards her, his
special treatment of her
Footsteps approached steadily from behind She nced over her shoulder, managing a weak
smile, and stopped to look up at the much taller man
“Is your face okay?
Winston looked down at her, shaking his head after a few seconds. This scratch is nothing”
“Momson has a bad temper, you know that Why provoke him?”
Winston’s hands were in his pockets as he looked toward the corner where a pine tree stood. The
guy has low EQ He needed a jolt to help open up his emotional
channels
Rose paused thenughed helplessly. Looks like he almost opened yours instead!”
Seeing the faint smile on Roses face. Winston felt a little less tense
“Maybe so. But that punch shows he still cares about you, at least a little”
Roses smile was tinged with irony Any man would be upset to see his wife being hit on by another
man right in front of him. It’s a matter of pride
She couldn’t forget his warnings. As long as she bore the name Mrs. Witt, she had to protect the
Witt family’s reputation
No family wanted the scandal of an unfaithful wife
Winston fell silent, not disagreeing with the possibility
“But to run out like this, isn’t it a bit too much? That’s your home Why let her waltz in while you run
out?”
Rose’s gaze darkened “Whatever in front of Morrison. I’ll always be the one who can’t do anything
right instead of staying there, feeling |
don’t want to be hummiivated
You need to stand your ground if anyone should feel out of ce it should be her not you
Rose shook her head Standing my ground as Mrs. Witt. I’m just an empty shell. To assert myself
before Monia would be.
She sighed Morison wouldn’t allow it
He wouldn’t stand for Mona feeling slighted
She had foreseen many scenarios. but all ended with her own embarrassmeni
Why bother
“What’s the use of rutining out? What about
Are you going to love your life in uncertainty without

Vinston matched her in surprise You have so Hillia farth in your
“Except when ites to him. Its like
the same
Her words slowed to a halt as if
I’m the one causing him the most
Winston frowned What was she thinking!
“Rose” She suddenly called out locking myta with hián
Winston’s expersason sified Why are you thuakung
Rope shook her head. ‘| love him now and always but seeing fem unhajan maant dig thats all that

Damn it wil
Winston muttered a curse under hen breath, wondering
al hem would have
ingrat and heartache. Aisi in he
“Have you lost your marbles? Believing such nonsense?”
Rose let out a soft chuckle. “No, Winston, it’s not that. I just feel like I really loved the wrong way A
marriage forced into being is just about possession, but it feels like i never truly have it if this
continues, Morrison and I are just heading towards mutually assured destruction Might as well end it
here…”
Despite the heartache, it seemed far better than a future filled with endless suffering for both of
them
Winston’s eyelid twitched
Damn, this drama had gone too far It didn’t snap Morrison out of it, but it brought this woman to an
epiphany
Tsk The scariest thing is a woman who’s seen the light
