blinked, “What do you think you’re doing?”

Teaching you a lesson.”

With that, he circled the table and lifted her from her seat.

Rose clung to the edge of the table. Don’t you dare. Ah!”

in one swift motion, Morison had hoisted Rose into his arms and strode out of the dining room. His steady gait was anything but sickly.c2

It wasn’t until Rose was laid down on the bedroom bed and Morrison leaned over her that she scrambled backwards. “You can’t

Your say doesn’t count here”

Momson reached for her blouse

“I won’t eat leftovers again, alright?”

“We’ll settle the score for all the times before

“You’re a bully, completely unreasonable. This is just an excuse

Morrison snorted. “Yep, you got that night”

“You‘ Rose’s eyes widened in indignation

Morrison pinned her legs and loomed over her, “What now? It was your fault to be so disobedient

Rose looked at him for a long while, her anger gradually subsiding, her expression slowly calming “Morrison, you’re just worried about me, aren’t you?”

A frown creased Morrison’s brow, “Cocky much?”

Rose persisted, “And you’re jealous

“Can’t you understand plain English? Momson’s face darkened Strictly speaking, there was a hint of embarrassment turning into anger

Rose raised an eyebrow You doctored the dish made last night, only adding the special ingredient to Winston’s plate. When Winston swapped his dish with mine, you were afraid I’d eat the awful food, so you made a fuss to intercept all the dishes”

Morrison’s expression tensed

“Your anger just now, it was because I ate leftovers and possibly ingested the food you tampered with yesterday You’re worried it might harm me,

“Nonsense

After a long silence, Momson finally spoke with a gloomy face

“Did you see me tamper with the food? I said I wanted those dishes last night. Who cares if you end up eating them?”

Rose’s smile grew more evident, Still denying it? Then I just ask Winston, see why he insisted on swapping plates with me that night

As she spoke, she propped herself up to get up, but Morrison’s expression changed, and he pressed down on her shoulders to keep her in place Rose, you just me today youd steer clear of

him.”

“But this is something I need to confirm, isn’t it?”

“It makes my stomach churn just seeing him. If you want me to die of pain, then go.”

Rose didn’t move but looked up at him, “Why does seeing him make your stomach churn?”

“Cant I just dislike him?”

“Why don’t you like him? Rose pressed

“Why are you so annoying?

Rose pursed her lips. “Could it be because he’s more handsome than you?”

Monson’s eyes suddenly narrowed. “You think he’s better looking than me?!!

Rose nodded After all the man’s a world–famous movie star the archetypal heartthrob tested by public scrutiny

Grinding his teeth, Morrison retorted So you think so too?”

Tm a normal woman Fancying a handsome guy is only natural

Rose you have terrible taste

Rose laughed softly taking a deep breath, “Yeah, my taste is dreadful

Monson felt inexplicably upset

The atmosphere became strange, his earlier anger dissipated by Roses words, and she took the opportunity to pusti tem away, sitting

Monson sat too, his expression

ingly grim.

“Morrison

Leaning against the headboard Rose spoke faintly. “Why on earth did you suddenly choose Mona to be your giffiend ki

She finally broached the subject about Mona

After only two days of interaction, she realized that while it’s fun to be with Momusan it was not true happiness

Her interaction with Momson always had a

Perhaps it was best to clear things up Even if it turned out to be a fleeting romance, at least she would be prepared. At least, the managed to get through even mole heartbreaking and difficult days. There probably wouldnt be more challenging days.

Mona’s name made Morrison’s brow furrow deeply. “Why bring her up all of a sudden?”

past came to mind. I’ve always been curious, and now seemed like a good time to ask.

“Can’t a guy and a girl just get together without a bunch of whys?”

Rose felt as if stung Back then, it was all about youthful infatuation or love, wasn’t it?

She didn’t want to delve further Indeed, the answer was heart–wrenching

“Mona and I couldn’t be more different With a light chuckle, she continued, “As you know, I’m all about looks, and you were quite the catch, so you were my very own conquest target. But you fell for someone the polar opposite of me. Honestly, when you chose Mona, I was pretty heartbroken for a long time

Morrison watched her intently

Rose turned her gaze towards the window, I thought we’d never cross paths again in this life, yet here we are, married

That reminder seemed to chill him further, his face growing colder. ‘I didn’t expect it either

The room fell silent until Rose broke it, I admit, my reasons for marrying you were selfish. I had my sights set on you for so long, and when the baby came along I thought

it was fate giving me a chance

“Momson, can we live together happily? Like countless other couples in this world Rose paused, her gaze fored on the worn oak of the coffee table, as if the grains, held the script to what she needed to say Gathering the courage to speak felt like lifting the world, no one could possibly fathom the strength it took to form the words

Her heart shrank with each beat, fingers icy as if she’d dipped them in the snow outside, her breath quivering like the last autumn leaf clinging to a branch

Yeah, like millions of others out there

Everyone had a past in the blush of youth, the stirrings of first love were as common as dandelions on a spring lawn Teenage crushes blossomed early, and by college. couples were as plentiful as stars in the night sky

She couldn’t expect Morrison to have been a saint just for her, to have patiently waited without knowing their future. Nobody could place their life on hold for a maybe for someone they had yet to meet

So of course. Momson couldn’t have saved all his firsts for her, this wife that he couldn’t have even pictured back then. It was just that his first love wasn’t her

Maybe without that past, there wouldn’t be a present them. Life hinged on split–second decisions, on the thinnest of margins

Momson’s brow knitted slightly, his dark eyes a bottomless lake revealing no emotion So you think we’re what? Not real now?”

Rose blinked slowly “is that it She hesitated. These past few days have felt different, but i don’t know how long this change will last

She turned to him her eyes sincere and earnest Momson, I’m lost here. I feel like I don’t have any control over what happens next. I don’t know what you’re thinking, or when you might just walk away I don’t even know what to do Momson you’re an enigma to me Her eyes flickered, revealing a mix of confusion and helplessness

Momson watched her intently a cold smirk suddenly breaking his stoic façade “Control?

Rose’s heart clenched She knew he was thinking back to the start of their marriage decided and insisted upon by her

He was in a marriage decided by her

She couldnt bear to hear more, and didn’t dare to

She suddenly retracted her gaze, but just as she was about to give up. Morrison suddenly spoke What other decision power do

Rose was taken aback her heart feeling tightly grasped as if she couldn’t catch her breath.

What other decision power did she want? Her decision power was exhausted right from the beginning of their marage

What decision power could she still have? None

you want?

She didn’t know what to say, because she knew that anything she said next would definitely make their current atmosphere more tense

As she was about to give up and leave the bed Morrison’s hand shot out, gripping her ankle

Rose bit her lip and looked at him, but he propped himself up on an elbow and leaned in, trapping her against the headboard ‘Are you going to walk away talking? Tell me what control do you want? What decisions do you want to make?

His voice dropped to an icy whisper, his gaze frosty it was clear he was angry

Rose shook her head

Morrison cut her off Rose, dont forget it was you who insisted on this marriage I made sure you knew this was your choice

He leaned closer Dont even think about ending it

A flicker of something passed through Roses eyes a few seconds of confusion “What?”

All this talk You just want an easy out don’t you? Now you’re carrying my child and you re thinking of running away, making my kid

I’m that easy to mess with?”

Rose, voice trembling What are you saying?

Morrison glared. Are you deaf or just playing dumb? Even a child could understand this. Don’t you dare play games with me. You manier

Rose looked at him mouth slightly agape is that all you re

“Just that? This issue isnt important enough for you? Just that?

“So, you’re not going to divorce me easily?

Morrison’s face darkened again “You’re still thering

Rose murmured, ‘Can’t help it

Morrison snorted. Out of consideration for your pregnancy.

Rose’s lips curved into a faint smile. Well who can say for

pends on how we both

Before Momson could retort, the doorbell rang a persistent chume intruding

words caught in his throat as Rose gently pushed past him and off the bad

Must be the doctor” She said, reaching for Momison’s hand, “Let’s have some food before the IV

Momson, still frowning, led the way downstairs as the doorbell echoed again, impatient and insistent

Rose followed her cheeks flushed. As Morrison opened the door, their family doctor, ready to ring again, shivered under Morrison’s icy stare.

“Mr Morrison I’m here for your IV treatment

Morrison glared at him as if his gaze could kill

Rose came to the rescue, pulling the doctor inside ‘Sorry about that, we’ll just be a minute. He hasn’t had breakfast yet

The doctor chuckled nervously, “No rush Breakfast is important, especially for a stomach like yours Take your time I’m not in a hurry

Rose stepped forward slipping her hand into his open palm “Come on, let’s finish up that soup” she said with a comforting smile

Morrison felt the softness of her touch and couldn’t resist giving her hand a gentle squeeze Rose paused for a moment, her instinct was to pull away, but then she felt his grip tighten

Taking the lead, he walked her towards the dining room

Watching them from behind, the family doctor was perplexed They didn’t seem as distant as the rumors had suggested

And Marrison, he definitely didn’t appear as grave as the news had portrayed him.
