Chapter 1808

Rose filed Morrison’s bowl with fresh soup, and ditched the leftover fried rice. She quickly whipped up a couple of sandwiches, one for each of them, and settled down to join him for breakfast

Momson kept sneaking peeks at the sandwich in Roses hands, taking a sip of his soup after each longing glance. His desire for the sandwich was plain as day

With a chuckle, Rose held out her sandwich towards him. “Want a bite?”

Momson’s eyebrows shot up, his hand almost reaching for the sandwich, but Rose teasingly pulled it back. “Where’s your self–control, huh? You’d just eat it if I gave it to

you

Grinding his teeth. Morrison shot back. “Are you playing mec2

Rose giggled behind her hand Tm testing your willpower You know full well your stomach’s too weak for this stuff right now, and yet you’re still tempted?”

Momson’s handsome face turned icy Just you wait

Rose didn’t reply, just took an exaggeratedly satisfying bite of her sandwich “Mmm, delicious”

Mornson could only grit his teeth in frustration

After finishing one sandwich and her bowl of oatmeal, Rose hesitated over the second sandwich. Despite her craving, she remembered Morrison’s earlier advice about not overeating for the baby’s sake, so she reluctantly set it aside.

Looking up at Morson who was still slowly eating his soup, she frowned “What’s with the slow pace this morning? Her tone took a sharp turn

Morrison glared at her “My stomach hurts. You want me to guzzle it down?”

Rose pursed her lips. He really couldn’t learn to talk nicely

Once Morrison finished his oatmeal Rose wheeled him upstairs for his medication and IV fluids

After settling him in Morrison suddenly spoke up. Just let her handle the dressing changes. You can go ahead if you have things to do

He couldn’t stand the sight of the doctor who had interrupted their private time

The doctor was all too eager to leave quickly instructing Rose on how to change the IV fluids herself. It was simple enough: switch the tubes between the bottles as needed, no need to adjust the flow rate, and remove the needle parallel to the skin when done

Rose reluctantly agreed, despite preferring a professional’s presence But Morrison insisted, and it was just a dressing change and IV – surely it wouldn’t be too nsky

After sending the doctor away Rose didn’t go back upstairs Instead, she busied herself in the kitchen and finally brought up a fruit platter to the bedroom. She settled in a chair by the vanity, flicking through her phone and munching on fruit as the crisp sound filled the room.

Online rumors swirled about Morrison’s emergency hospital visit in the middle of the night Rose frowned at the media’s obsession with such a mundane event. Was it because Chloe was out of the spotlight, leaving them desperate for news?

The internet was abuzz with speculation about their relationship with wild theories ranging from domestic violence to calculated revenge. Some comments were downright nasty, but Rose

shrugged them off with the resilience she’d learned from Chloe.

“What’s so funny? Morrison asked with a cold stare, clearly annoyed by her enjoyment of the fruit in his presence

Chewing on an apple slice Rose replied. “Which would you prefer, being chopped or poisoned?

Momson took a deep breath “Shut up, or I might just strangle you right now.”

The room fell silent again, save for the sound of fruit being eaten and the occasional swallow

The sight of Rose enjoying her fruit was almost too much for Morrison, who had only had bland soup for breakfast

“Is it sweet?‘ he finally asked

Rose looked at him and smiled slyly “You want some?”

He squinted at her ‘Come here, let me have a taste

“No, it’s cold”

Tm bored Come talk to me

“We can talk right now I’m not stopping you

“Rose, are you being disobedient again?”

Rose sighed, then Mornson patted the space beside him on the bed ‘Come on, eat over here it’s warmer

She hesitated before finally giving in and joining him on the bed

Momson seemed pleased wrapping the blanket around her shoulders “Eat,‘ he said, watching her intently

Rose took a bite of apple staring at him Without warning, Morrison popped a grape into her mouth. The fruit burst with sweet and tangy pece, la invita bling her venues

“Good?” he asked

She nodded

His gaze dropped to the fruit platter “Let me try”

Rose quickly moved the platter away “You can’t eat this now”

Morrison frowned I won’t swallow it”

After a moment’s hesitation, Rose firmly shook her head “No. it’s too cold”

Momson clenched his jaw in imitation Cruel woman

Rose stifled a giggle with her hand. “Can’t handle a day, huh? You’ve got a whole week ahead to survive”

His lace soured “And who do you think is to blame for thi

She took another bite of her apple, smuking “Clearly you’re the architect of your own

hodded, feigning attentiveness, “Yeah, I’m here.”

While responding, she propped herself up on her elbows and suddenly leaned in close to Momson.

He backed away glaring at her “What are you doing?”

“Just don’t want you craving too much she teased “If you can’t eat, at least you can smell, right? Here, have a whiff

She edged closer again, her subtle perfume mingling with the faint scent of apples Morrison’s expression stiffened as he eyed her disdainfully. “Back off

“Want to smell something else? i can eat it for you”

Rose you’re gross, go away or I won’t be so polite”

She arched an eyebrow, glancing at his IV–clad hand, her face fearless Clearly, she was taking advantage of his current incapacity to have her way

“Orange, it is she declared, unilaterally grabbing a slice and popping it into her mouth

The orange’s aroma was more intense than other fruits, especially when she mischievously blew in his direction after taking a bite

Momson feigned a choke glaring at her “Rose”

She raised her eyebrows playfully Don’t like oranges? Fine. I’ll have another slice”

It was a rare chance to torment Morrison, and she wasn’t about to let it slip Biting into another piece, she flashed him a defiant, almost gleeful smile

Rose last warning–stay away!”

Seeing him apparently truly annoyed, she backed off “Okay, okay”

Morrison cursed inwardly and seizing her by the nape of her neck, he pulled her down and captured her lips accurately

Rose’s eyes widened in surprise, she hadn’t expected his sudden move. She tried to push him away, but Morrison was faster, attempting to steal the orange slice from her

mouth

She resisted, and the two engaged in a playful battle over the fruit, each determined to claim the prize. The skirmish continued without a clear winner, but the atmosphere between them shifted to something more intimate.

When Rose let out a soft moan of discomfort, Momson finally released her Both were breathless Rose flushed and glistening–eyed Momson’s gaze heavy with desire

She avoided his eyes awkwardly reaching for an apple to distract herself Morrison caught her hand, his voice husky, “Continue‘

She trembled, cheeks burning He tugged gently, urging her again Rose, hurry up

She hesitated but when he was about to rise, she quickly acquiesced, moving closer to him.

Momson smirked, clearly pleased by her concern. But as their kiss deepened, his frustration grew. Once he was free of his predicament, hed have his way.

Their private moment was cut short by the doorbell Rose, finding an escape from the embarrassment, pushed Morrison away and descended the stairs, her

At the door stood Megan and Molly

“Rose dear, how’s Momson? We heard he was discharged. Is it is it the end? Has the hospital sent him home to to make final arrangements? Megan asked laced with concern

Rose was stunned

Molly, looking upset, scolded her mother. “Mom, what are you talking about?!”

Megan clapped her hands to her mouth, “Oh dear, my big mouth”

Rose ushered them inside Grandma Mom Momson’s fine. He just didn’t want to be alone in the hospital. The doctor set up a drip at home

The tension eased from their faces Upstairs, Mornson was still relishing the sweetness Rose had left on his lips when the door opened, and the wo women anteresi

“Why are you here? he asked, frowning

Megan frowned back Cant we visit unless you’re on your deathbed?”

“Mum Molly was nearly in tears at her mother–in–law’s gnm expressions

The old lady waved her off “Stop nagging My words aren’t spells. If they were. I’d be queen by now”

Molly and Rose exchanged a look it seemed Grandma harbored royal ambitions

Granny made her way toward Momson, eyeing him up and down with a hint of a smirk, “Well, look at you Fit as a fiddle, airīt ya‘

Molly sided up close etched with worry and asked in a gentle tone. “Momson, you alright?

Monson pursed his lips. Im fine

“What in the world landed you in the hospital all of a sudden?”

Rose glanced at Morrison then spoke in a hush it’s actually

“It’s totally her fault Momson cut her off abruptly causing Megan and Molly to shift their puzzled gazes onto Rose

Rose hesitated for a moment then nodded Yeali

“Last night, she cooked up such a tantalizing meal, i couldn’t help but sneak a few lates when she wasnt looking. This womanis

The sound of sharp claps rang out as Megan thwacked Momsons shoulder with vigor
