Chapter 1785
Rose packed her own lunch.
Sure, the office had a cafeteria, and it was known for its strict standards when it came to food safety, but she still
felt more comfortable eating food she cooked herself, even more so now that she was expecting With no one to
look after her, she had to take extra care of herself
She wouldn’t compromise on anything regarding her child
There was a microwave in the break room. After heating her meal, she returned to her office. After just taking a
few bites, the phone rang. She took a glance at the paused and took a spoonful of food before answering
“Hello“c2
“Rose dear, you’re back, right?” It was the voice of Grandma Megan.
“Yes, I got back yesterday.
“So you’re at the office now
“Yes, I’ve got some things to take care of is there something you need, Grandma?
Grandma Megan sighed. “Would you come back home when you have time? You haven’t visited much since moving
out and especially now that you’re pregnant, you cart always be so busy Come home tonight I’ll have the kitchen
prepare something delicious for you
Rose paused with her spoon in mid–air
“Rose, you need to come back. You’re pregnant now. You can’t overwork yourself. You have to prioritize the baby
I’m not just saying this because the baby in a Witt, but also because you’re a mother I suppose you know how
precious and important that child is to you, right?”
Rose slowly put down her spoon her voice steady. “I know!
“Don’t push yourself too hard and if you have any problems, just tell me I’ll do everything I can to help you.”
Rose slightly smiled. “Thank you, Grandma ( come by tonight”
“Good good
Megan hung up the phone, her smile fading as she dialed another number. As soon as the phone was answered,
she snapped, “Come home for dinner tonight?
A deep, indifferent voice came from the other end. “I will check my schedule”
“I could be dead tomorrow. See if you can make some time to see me one last time!
With that, she slammed down the phone.
Molly, her daughter–in–law was startled by the outburst. “What’s the matter? Why would you say you’ll be dead
tomorrow”
“It’s your beloved son’s fault. Can’t even come home for dinner without scheduling it.
Molly pursed her lips, speechless Morrison was indeed a headache. Any mention of him was bound to bring trouble.
“Let’s see if he comes home tonight If he doesn’t I really will drop dead for him to see. Make sure to tell him it was
all his fault.”
Megan stormed off into the kitchen, her voice echoing down the hall “Make sure to cook his favorite dishes. The
ungrateful brat only knows how to upset me. Put some dog poop in his food”
Molly sighed
Of course the staff wouldn’t really put dog poop in their food. They knew very well that Megan didn’t mean what
she said. While angry, she was still demanding they cooli her grandsons favorite food
She knew they wouldn’t actually add dog poop if they did, they’d probably lose their jobs.
Rose managed to get in touch with Winston in the afternoon. This time when she returned to P City, she had visited
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMr. Peck.
He was getting on in years, and his legs were beyond recovery, but he seemed to be in good spirits
She had mentioned the new product endorsement to Winston earlier so this was more of a heads up

Just as she finished her sentence, the sound of a car engine hummed outside the door. At first, Rose didn’t think
much of it, but when she saw the tall figure at the door she was taken aback
It was winter and the days were short. The outside was pitch dark, but the man in the black sut standing under the
bright lights seemed to have an overpowering presence His face always seemed expressionless, at least Rose found
it hard to see anything beyond indifference.
She noticed his gaze land on her for a moment as he entered, but it was so brief that it made her feel like
everything was just her wratha ilusion.
Grandma Megan’s face turned cold at the sight of him, Tinally decided to show up? Could you givet me your
schedda? So that when I’m on my deathba have time to come back and see me off?
Momson frowned the cold air from outside still clinging to him as he walked over “Alright, how do you want me to

can wait un
Megan glared at him in anger. So I’m the villain now because I wanted you to take a break from work? You’m busy
with rk? How boty can you be if you still have time to
travel abroad”
Rose was taken aback, and her hand, held by Megan, twitched involuntarily
Megan clearly sensed her actions, but Rose just smiled faintly picked up a glass from the coffee table and took a sip
Momson, on the other hand, remained calm, without the slightest change in his expression. Even though Megan
had inadvertently sweated that she was having tim monitored, he remained indifferent
1 was on a business trip
Megan snorted sarcastically, her words laced with undisguised sarcasm Rose, on the other hand, sipped her water
in silence, her face expressiontess
“Are you really that buty? So much so that you have to travel abroad multiple times? Morison, dont forget you’m a
married man now. Whem exactly do you your heart?
Rose knew Megan was desperate to secure her position in Momson’s heart. But at this moment, she felt more
humiliated than ever
All the words emphasized one thing that in Morrison’s heart, there was another woman holding the most important
place Wasn’t she his pregnant wife, the most ndiculous one in this situation?
It was only then that Morrison shifted his gaze to Rose “Is it so wrong for a married man to go on a business trip?”
“Rose is pregnant
“So should I chain her to me 24/7 to please you?”
Infuriated at Morrison’s retorts. Megan hissed, “You you ungrateful grandson”
“Grandma” Rose, who had been silent all this while spoke up. She put down her glass, her palm feeling numb from
the heat
We both have our own jobs to do I understand Morrison’s work commitments We’re both young and it’s normal for
us to be busy”
She said this to defuse the tension between Morrison and Megan, and to defend herself as well. If this continued,
she couldn’t guarantee if Momson everything Like Megan suddenly blaming him was because she had complained
to her earlier.
Megan didn’t say anything more, but gave Morrison a fierce glare
Momson, however was busy eyeing Rose. “You sure seem generous now
Rose managed a smile and slowly stood up from the couch. She knew he’d think of her this way “That’s too kind of
you to say”
She said placidly then turned to the maid standing by Is it time for dinner yet?”
The maid nodded in agreement
Megan also stood up. Then let’s eat
Rose walked over and linked arms with Megan She was not wearing an overcoat, just a grey, long–sleeved knitted
sweater. The fitting garment pregnant belly

Having grown up in a wealthy family, of course she was stunning The former prom queen wasn’t just a title she
obtained without reason.

Seeing this, Megan’s mood improved considerably
The maid served dishes that surted Momson’s taste in front of him and Roses in front of her
The problem was Rose was pregnant and everything looked delicious to her so much so that she couldn’t resist. Yet,
no one but Momson had touched the dates in fur of him. Several times, she found herself reaching for those dishes
only to pull back at the last moment.
Megan was astute enough to catch her predicament. And so she instructed the maid standing nearby. “Swap the
dishes in front of young master and
Ruse and Momson both paused Megan glared at Momson. You oblimeus bral
Morrison glanced at Rose She had just swept her eyes over the dishes in front of him and was about to look away
when she tort has intense, dark jarn steaded herself and said calmly. “Actually I didn’t really want to eat your food
that much
Momson paused for a moment then huffed coldly
The others at the table couldn’t help but chuckia when they heard thes, leaving kose blushing with embarrassment
But the maid did as instructed and swapped the dishes. And Mornace didnt say anything
Now that the dates she had been crawing for were night in front of her hoan let too embarassed
Rose gave her an awkward smile She nodded and took a bite
True to her expectations the dish was a bit bland She was used to her food teng more favortul. As her eyes
wandered to the dishes that had been moved t

And then she heard the sound of fork being put down. Looking up, she saw Momson putting down fua fuck and

She gaped at him in surprise, then burst out laughing after a few seconds. She had forgotten that Momon didnt eat

for bland food
Back in their school days, she had never seen him eat anything spicy. Now she realized that it wasn’t that he didn’t
eat spicy food, he simply couldn’t handle it. She rarely saw him looking so uncomfortable
Her laughter drew a cold glare from Momson Rose put down her fork, stood up and swapped their dishes back
“Hey Megan tried to stop her, but Rose sat back down, leaning on the edge of the table. I prefer these dishes She
said pointing at the dishes in front of her
Megan didn’t utter a word in her world whatever her granddaughter in law fancied was good enough. If Rose was
happy, then that was all that mattered
The maid refilled Morrison’s glass of water for the second time. This time, he merely took a small sip before setting
it down. “I’m fuft “
Rose paused momentarily in her eating but didn’t look up.
Molly, however, whispered “It’s not often we get you to come home for dinner. You’ve barely eaten a thing”
She scowled. “Are you doing this on purpose? We do not need your attitude Eat it, and if you can’t finish it. Il force it
down your throat even if I have to cut off your head”
Megan didn’t hold back when it came to scolding Morrison, her words came out as naturally as breathing, showing
no mercy
