Chapter 1814


    “Damn, this dramas gone too far. Didn’t snap Morrison out of it, but sure as hell had an epiphany


    herself


    Rose, what about the baby? What are you nning to do with the baby?”


    Rose’splexion shifted subtly as she gently ced her hand on her belly, falling silent, lost in


    thought


    The baby


    Winston caught a glimpse of a man storming out of the vi with a fierce determination and raised


    an eyebrow c2


    Rose, maybe you re on to something instead of weaning yourself out with all this grief, perhaps it’s


    time to let go. Your life isn’t just about one man. You’ve got your business friends your child You can


    have a full life without him as long as you’re willing to open your heart so others cane in Set


    him free and give yourself a


    chance foo


    Rose listened in a daze, then nodded slightly, as if in a trance “You’re right


    #


    A strong and chilling presence approached Rose turned to see Momson, his face a mask of


    extreme displeasure, marching towards her with purpose


    Instinctively she nced back towards the vi’s entrance but Mona was nowhere in sight


    So what was he ying at Leaving Mona all alone in the house?


    That wasn’t exactly normal, was it? Not for a host, nor for someone who’s supposed to be his


    sweetheart


    Especially since he knew very well that Granny and Mom weren’t exactly Mona’s biggest fans.


    Wasn’t he wored about her getting the short end of the stick?


    In a blur Momson was standing in front of her yanking her into his arms, his face cold as ice, his


    tone frantic


    “Why did you runti


    Rose looked up at him a half–hearted smile on her lips. It’s not like I could really run, could 17”


    She was pregnant for heaven’s sake How could she run?


    Her gaze lingered involuntarily on his thin clothing before returning to the doorway in the distance


    Is this okay with you?” she asked quietly ‘Leaving her alone like that, aren’t you afraid Granny and


    Mom will give her a hard time?”


    Morrisons expression shifted ever so slightly as he narrowed his eyes at Rose ‘So, you knew they’d


    give her a hard time, and you ran out here on purpose,


    chase after you just to give them time alone to do their worst, is that it?”


    Rose blinked in disbelief, turning to face Momson “What are you trying to say?”


    “You got it right. They have been hard on her and in the end, without you lifting a finger you’ve


    driven her away


    Rose felt a sudden wrench in her heart her whole body trembling with anger, her eyes misting over


    She took a deep breath, exhaled, inhaled again and exhaled


    After several repetitions she managed to suppress the torrent of emotions and finally looked


    Morrison straight in the eye


    “You’re wrong she said, struggling to keep her voice steady and her expression indifferent ‘Because


    I never wanted to drive Mona away On the contrary, I wanted to help you two wanted her to stay, to


    be here in R City by your side, in that house I’d move out Morrison, I can’t keep doing this with you.


    Let’s get a divorce?


    She managed to control her emotions, but by the end of her speech, there was a clear tremor in her


    voice


    And her words froze Morrison in his tracks


    We’re getting a divorce.


    Those words hit him like a sledgehammer shattering hisposure, trembling through his very


    being


    Divorce


    Momson stared at her too shocked to react


    The word divorce when she spoke it, twisted in his heart with an even greater pain, as if countless


    tacks were embedded ther


    She had finally said it


    prickling with each


    Even when she was alone in that empty house, even when she faced odd looks and ridicule, even


    when she endured theughter of mans, even night she had never considered this


    I was too hard won to grew up so easily


    Once said it meant true loss with no more chances to be together for the rest of her life


    But she couldn’t just dryly wait for his love She didn’t expect hum to be perfect or to treat her with


    the ubr


    She just wanted to be by his side watch him live a healthy and happy ith That would be enough


    From the many beautiful fantasies she had of him in the beginning to the step by step concessions

    Better to part ways early than suffer together


    Winston was night Without him, she wasnt helpless She

    who can’t do anything right in your eyes, who can never gain your favor. So let s


    After fishing her speech, Rose paused her lipt pressed to

    in silence before abruptly tuning and heading i


    Morrison, almost reflexively, reached out and grabbed her faxely, his chest heaving


    Rose took a deep breath and wriggled her wrist free from his grasp


    “I’m to clear the way for you, then i need to do it right I hate dragging things out.”


    With that she walked away Momson tried to follow, but Winston stepped forward, blocking his path


    His face darkened veins on his forehead threatening to burst


    He grabbed Winston by the cor and pulled him close “Was this your doing


    Mr Momson Winston interjected with a hint of annoyance. Don’t go ming others for your own


    missteps. I’m merely an admirer, and despite my heartfelt confessions, she never batted an eye.


    Now, why do you think she’s suddenly changed her tune? Don’t you have any clue?”


    Momsons face turned a shade of thunder yet he found himself at a loss for words


    “Let me tell you something Mr Morrison Winston said with a wry smile ‘Don’t pretend that Rose is


    too proud to y dirty, but even if she did if a woman was willing to do whatever it took to scheme


    and plot just to be by my side openly and honestly out of love for me, I’d be over the moon”


    “What did I ever do to deserve such attention? She doesn’t owe me anything I haven’t been all that


    great to her So what’s her angle?”


    The fury in Morrisons posture seemed to recede slightly, leaving him looking somewhat dazed.


    “What are you saying?” he asked coldly, his gaze piercing into Winston “Are you saying Rose loves


    me?”


    Winston paused, then let out a mockingugh


    “What else man? Why else do you think Rose would want to marry you? She’s beenbeled a gold


    digger by everyone, including you, for marrying into the Witt family. She’s been pregnant and alone,


    with no one to care for her, enduring your verbal abuses and cold stares, suffering your suspicions


    and yet she never retaliated Do you think she’s lost her mind of just enjoys the abuse?”


    Morrison was silent, his jaw set tight


    Winston sighed, his toneced with frustration. “You’re utterly clueless She’s never hidden her


    feelings for you, and now you’re asking me this question?”


    Morrison’s expression darkened


    “Maybe you’re just used to women falling over themselves for you, and one less wouldn’t matter,


    especially since you’ve got someone else on your mind She’s willing to step aside for you two, and I


    guess you should be happy now, right? Finally free from this woman you despise so much. Should I


    be happy for you?”


    A muscle in Momson’s jaw twitched, and he abruptly let go of Winston.


    “Keep out of it,” Morrison warned “Stay away from Rosel


    Winston shrugged indifferently. “Sure, there are only a few days left anyway. Once the divorce is


    final, the one who world have a say in her life will be you


    Mornson’s forehead veins pulsed as he turned and strode away


    Rose couldn’t bring herself to say harsh words to him?


    She could talk about divorce, but was there anything more cruel than that?


    Damn it, he acted like he knew Rose so well!


    At that moment, Rose had reopened the door to the vi. The three people in the living room stood


    in an obvious tension. As they turned to her entrance, Rose could see the redness in Mona’s eyes,


    the same resentment she always showed.


    Rose hesitated for a moment, then, with a forced smile, closed the door behind her and approached


    them.


    Molly looked up at her with a faint smile “Rose, you’re back.”


    Rose nodded forcing a smile, and locked eyes with Mona.


    “It looks like you ve been wronged today, shemented.


    Monaposed herself, maintaining a graceful demeanor. “Rose, I’m here today simply as


    Morrison’s ssmate and friend to check on him. It would be inappropriate not to inquire about him


    when I’m here in R City, don’t you think?


    Molly and Megan frowned


    Rose nodded “You don’t need to stress your current role as a ssmate and friend. We all know


    you two have history. It’s natural for an ex–girlfriend to be concerned”


    Her words made the color drain from the faces of everyone in the room.


    “Rose, what are you saying?” Molly suddenly had a bad feeling


    Rose just smiled


    And Mona, let me be clear your breakup with Morrison had nothing to do with me. I’ve been


    interested in Morrison since college, but i controlled my emotiona. to interfere with your rtionship,


    and I won’t in the future either You don’t have to treat me like an enemy

    She paused ncing at Megan and Molly, and changed her tone Grandma, Mom, I’m grateful for


    the love and care you’ve shown me since I joined the Witt family 10 ne forget it


    The weight of her words made Molly and Megan’s hearts sink.


    Rose


    ‘But love is beyond anyone control except those involved We all have ws, but we all deserve love


    and happiness. Mona and Montsen have been together 5


    it’s clear they still have feelings for each other So let’s do the right thing for all of us, including me


    Let’s give them our blessings.


    Mona stared at Rose, utterly confused by her sudded speech.


    Molly and Megan were equally stunned grasping Rose as if she were slipping away


    *Rose, what are you talking about?”


    Rose managed a weak smile “Grandma, Mom, I’ve thought it through


    “But what about you? You love Morrison the most How can you just give up so easily? Wait a little


    longer Momson doesn’t understand new, but ghe tim time.


    Rose shook her head her face a portrait of sorrow Tve tried to make him love me, but I’ve realized it

    Mona’s face was a canvas of emotions as she processed Rose’s words, disbelief slowly morphing


    into a bubbling hint of smug satisfaction


    Yes, it made sense. Love couldn’t be fomad, and despite her ws, the still held a ne in
