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 villa was destined to be her solitary
sanctuary
From the slippers, toiletries, to the silverware
As for why he remembered a plate 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 plate sporting the same pattern as his His was a deep navy while hers was a soft
pastel pink
At first glance, he scoffed at these details However, the visual imprint was so profound that the sudden absence of
his half was glaringly 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 glanced at Morrison’s empty plate After a few seconds, she finally
said “Your plate i accidentally chipped it
“A convenient excuse Momson shot her a cold glance, sarcastically cutting her off
Rose paused her expression Turning sour
It seems you’ve been living comfortably on your own. I’m sorry to have disrupted that”
Rose placed 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 occupy in your heart or your plans?”
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 play 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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith that, the door to the villa 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 accustomed 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 Rose composed herself, stood up, and cleared away the
untouched breakfast plate 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

Rose’s heart fluttered for a moment, but she quickly laughed 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 placed 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

Thankfully, she had this company, a place where she could escape her
Momson didn’t come home that night, or for several rights following Her life hotel
With little Moon keeping her company 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 young lady 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 stay composed 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 was coming 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 a late 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, planned to treat him to lunch
Momson’s fans were already waiting at the arrival gate Fearing they might accidentally 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

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 calculating 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 i lack that kind of money?
Rose was exasperated. “If you don’t lack money why haggle over the endorsement fee I’m going to complain to
Chloe. I’ll tell her you’re taking advantage of me
Winston glanced 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

Tam hungry What are we eating? Winston didn’t want to continue this pointless joke Leaning back in his seat, he
looked relaxed
“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 delayed 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
