Chapter 1793
Tm beat You can go and do whatever you want
She didn’t want to say too much to him because over the past few days, she had noticed that Momson never had
anything positive to say to her Every sentence seemed to carry a cutting edge stabbing at her heart She didn’t
want to engage with someone who made her feel so uncomfortable Moreover she knew full well that with all the
drama that had unfolded today, he was probably harboring a lot of pent up anger
She slipped under the covers and tumed to her side Momson stood at the doorway unable to decide whether to
enter of leave
Each encounter with het was met with an increasing coldness. The words spoken by that man at the hospital buzzed
around in his heart like a swarm of flies. Did she really think she could find another man be their baby’s stepfather?
Preposterous. He would like to see who was bald enough to be his baby’s stepfather (2
A wave of anger rose within him, but the image of Rose standing at the restaurant entrance coupled with what the
doctor had said earlier, gave him a sense of unease
Eyeing the lump under the covers. Morison squinted and eventually decided to leave the room
He went downstairs and pulled out a cigarette heading for the balcony However a young dog’s bark interrupted his
peace.
He glanced at the golden retriever puppy, lit his cigarette and kicked the pup aside.
“Woof woot wool
The puppy started barking again. Momson frowned and looked back towards the upstairs. After taking a deep drag
from his cigarette, he stared down the puppy if barking | might butcher you.
Wool woof, woof
Momson crouched down, fixating his gaze on the seemingly innocent retriever He muttered. The woman’s resting
upstairs, are you sure you want to keep this up
intimidated by Momson’s sudden display of authority, the puppy retreated and reduced its barking to a whimper
Morrison chuckled Coward
He then realized his petty behavior and glanced at the dog food bowl, water dish, and his other slipper in the dog
bed. His expression darkened He reached into the dog bed. retrieved his slipper, and tossed it in front of the puppy
‘Stop barking Everything you eat, drink and play with belongs to me Get real Behave, and | might consider keeping
you around
The puppy whimpered and took the “toy slipper” into its bed it seemed to have calmed down.
Momson watched as the puppy retreated into its bed, gnawing at his slipper, his mood inexplicably sour
Rose had heard the puppy’s barking from upstairs She wanted to check on the situation but didn’t want to give
Momson an opportunity to pick a fight. She was still aimed about the potential for a full–blown confrontation
between the two
PH
The thought amused her A standoff between Momson and the little pup? The puppy would likely be defeated
Downstairs on the balcony Morrison stood by the window his cigarette replaced by a fresh one
Recently Rose’s cold demeanor reminded him of when they were in school together. She had always carried herself
like a princess, flaunting her pride and vib Wherever she went all eyes followed her Boys tried to win her over in
various ways, but she was too proud to give them a second look
And him, he had seen plenty of these so–called ‘princesses Elegant and beautiful on the surface, but pompous and
domineering underneath. Born into wealthy families. they were innately hypocritical and it seemed that bullying the
weak was almost ingrained in their nature. There was no exception

His ingrained resentment had already become a part of him And Rose, from the moment he met her he had been
certain that she was his kryptonite if there was one woman he would never marry in this lifetime Rose would be on
top of his blacklist
However the woman who was supposed to be out of his life after graduation ended up as his wife it was amusing
and ironic
He knew the baby in her womb was his, but to say that it was an unintended consequence of his actions.
Yes, and no
The few encounters they had had over the past couple of days, the uncontrollable physical reactions he had
whenever he saw her, and the thoughts that ensued difficult for him to face the reality
This had never happened before He had never felt this way about any woman Well except when he was in school
But now that he thought about it the only woman who had ever sparked such a rare feeling in him was this woman
He had thought it was a north experienced during their impulsive years. The only thing to blame was Roses good

So it was her fault. She was too attractive and she unknowingly flaunted it in front of turn every day. Like a

Chapter
Rose’s unexpected intrusion into his room was a clear mistake that he consciously let slide. The image of her with
Winston was too glaring for him to ignore
And there she was always around him, so close yet untouchable, planting a seed that kept sprouting within him
His secret desires, nurtured over the years, finally found an outlet when she mistakenly entered his room during the
school reunion. He hadn’t thought about the consequences at the time. All he knew was that Ross was wrapped
around him too tight, and the unprecedented feelings she stirred up in him didn’t allow him to think,
further
He got the girl. When he opened his eyes the next day and saw her that was the first thought that came to his
mind. However, Rose’s initial surprise and her eagerness to clear herself of any association with hum instantly killed
that thought
“We’re both adults and it’s normal to indulge in a bit of fun. You don’t need to feel burdened
Her words were cold and top malisti, making him feel like he was the woman in the situation
She had initially cleared herself of any obligation, acting magnanimously and understandingly, but soon after she
cleverly used the baby an a pretext to marry him. Now, she felt wronged and pitiful and he became the heartless
villain
She seemed to be in charge of the whole situation Damn woman
He squinted his eyes feeling a burning sensation at his fingertips. He quickly put out the cigarette he had smoked to
the buff
The golden retriever puppy in its doghouse was curled up asleep with a slipper. He shot it a cold glance walked into
the living room grabbed has coat, and left
Rose woke up after more than an hour of sleep, and it was already getting dark outside She fumbled for the remote
control to turn on the light, and the bathroom, and then went downstairs to prepare her dinner
Little Moon had been sleeping. As soon as it heard the sound it crouched at the stairway waiting for her
Seeing Little Moons cheerful demeanor made Rose feel a lot better. She gave a small smile, remembering the

Now the dog was here but the man was not
She paused, turned back to check the room next to the master bedroom–it was still as she had cleaned it in the
morning. Pursing her lips, she closed the door downstars and directly into the kitchen
It was shi a dinner for one with a soup, and two dishes Little Moon watched her eat
After cleaning up, Rose’s phone rang suddenly. When she saw who was calling, her expression changed slightly. She
answered the phone, her lips curling into a stiff smie
Hello
Rose The mans voice on the other end didn’t sound too good “You left me here on my own, without a care What the
hell are you thinking?
Winston was particularly upset now He had thought that Rose, as a neighbor on the first day, would at least put on a
show?
He was starving and it was already seven oclock, and she hadnt even bothered to call him once
Rose forced a laugh. Im sorry I wasn’t feeling well today, so I neglected you. I’ll make it up to you next time.
“And what about now? | m your spokesperson, your cash cow, and I’m about to starve to death you know?”
Rose glanced down at the pajamas she was wearing and considering the chilly weather outside her laziness gave
her a thousand solutions
“I really can’t today How about order you some takeout?”
1 come over to your place and you want me to eat takeo
“No, I have my staff order the best food in R City and have it delivered to you You’ll just have to bear with it for one
night

Winston twitched his lips his goddamn nephew Did he agree to be this Uncle Winston?
“Ainght (1) arrange dinner for you night now. Please wait a moment
After hanging up she quickly dialed her assistants number
Once giving all the instructions, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She tapped her head, and thought to herself,
“How could you forget such an im have you gone mad from your pregnancy”
Little Moon was crouching in front of her titing its little head in confusion
Rose for a deep breath walked to the sola and turned on the TV She deliberately chose a well–reviewed variety

After estimating the time she went upstairs to wash up
The golden retriever who had a short memory followed her upstairs only to be sprayed with the shower head
As it yelped from being bullied Rose laughed out loud. Taking Little Moon home was the best decision ever

Morrison glanced at her, then at her hands, realizing she was bathing the dog. He shifted his gaze back to Rose’s
face, and in an instant, as if remembering something his gare sharply fell back to her hands
Then, in two strides, he was right next to Rose. He reached out and took the towel she was using to dry the dog
Rose also realized something She opened her mouth wide, attempting to cover it up, but it was already too late
“Rose Morrison’s voice wasn’t loud but it was deep enough to make her heart skip a beal Please tell me this is not
the towel I used last night”
Roses eyelashes trembled, and she lowered her head slightly Perhaps the stark contrast between Morrison using
this towel to wipe his hair last night and his current cold and indifferent gaze was too striking She couldn’t resist and
subtly smiled
She kept her head down, making the curve of her lips even more subtle Monson, for a moment, thought he was just
imagining it. But as he continued to watch, the curve seemed to grow bigger His brows furrowed and he reached
out to lift her chin
And there it was, the smile on Rose’s face, laid bare in front of him
Momson’s mood instantly plummeted again
