Chapter 1813
Mona paused for a few seconds before a strained laugh escaped her lips.
“So what you re saying is Morrison was just toying with my feelings all those years? A heartbreaker, is that what
you’re labeling him as? That’s your take on your own son?”
Molly kept her tone even “Not a heartbreaker, Mona Morrison’s just a clueless fool when it comes to love
Mona was speechless c2
“He doesn’t even know who he likes or loves How is he not a fool? It pains me to say this about my own son, but it’s
the truth”
Mona bit her lip harder, her frustration mounting. “Who he loves or doesn’t is for him alone to know And even if it’s
not me, it certainly doesn’t have to be Rose. If it weren’t for your elitist attitudes, why push me away and accept
her?”
“After all those years you spent studying side by side, dating him, are you really telling me you don’t know who’s in
his heart?”
A flicker of evasion crossed Mona’s gaze
“Morrison has always been good to me I never noticed him treating any other girl differently!”
Molly exhaled deeply “Look, since you’ve come uninvited today, let’s have a heart–to–heart To be honest, Mona,
you come off as this pure and sweet girl, and people are drawn to that But a regular student like you managing to
stay by Morrison’s side for years, even causing him to rebel against his family, it just goes to show that you’re not
as simple–minded as you appear”
Tm not looking down on you. The Witts aren’t trying to force Morrison into a match that’s just about social standing.
You think I was oblivious to his high school romance? Far from it I’ve been watching you two for a long time
especially you”
“You’re not as kind and innocent as you seem. Mona
Mona’s eyes flickered, her expression darkened
“Morrison, with his Witt family background, what does he lack? What does he covet? Should I remind you of the
series of thefts among the heiresses at your school around his birthday?”
Her cheeks flushed, and she shrank back her eyes darting away
“And that birthday party where you suddenly changed the location, causing Rose to miss celebrating with Morrison
do you dare deny it?”
There’s so much more I could bring up, but I’ll spare the details. You know what you’ve done. It’s one thing for
Morrison to date you, quite another for you to marry into the
Witts with ulterior motives
“But I must thank you. Your scheming against Rose only made it clearer who Morrison truly cares for”
Mona stood there her face burning with embarrassment.

someone like you for years. Even when he fought with us. left you with your dignity. And now you accuse us of

him and us in the future?”
Molly’s revelations left Mona reeling her darkest secrets laid bare without warning, overwhelming her with a sense
of injustice.
Tears welled in her eyes, but her voice was defiant. “It was all because i loved Morrison! My family might be
average, but that shouldn’t be a barner between us! And it shouldn’t give Rose an advantage to win him over! You
don’t understand, I’ve been trying to bridge the gap between us..”
“That’s why I can’t approve of you and Morrison Why do you think he chose you? Because you weren’t like those
other rich girls. The very gap you tried to bridge was your
biggest advantage ”
Molly maintained her composure. “Gifts can’t cover the differences between you two. Does Morrison care for such
material things? That’s not how gaps are bridged. You see Rose as some arrogant heiress, but she worked part–
time to save up for Morrison’s birthday gift with her own money”
“Compare yourself Who would an observer prefer? Mona, you can be poor in wealth, but not in spirit”
The room fell silent as Mona wiped the tears from her face, “it’s easy for those who’ve never worned about money

Molly looked at her steadily before saying, “In all the years you were with Morrison, he never laid a hand on you, did
he?”

A metallic taste filled her mouth

Outside the villa Rose hugged her down jacker tighter, taking a deep breath of the chilly air
The frosty breath seemed to clear her head a little
Had she really been wrong?
Chapter
All those years of persistence, of stubbornness
She had always believed that sincerity and effort would win in the end if she just never gave up
The recent peaceful days had given her the illusion she was on the right track, making her heady with hope
But the more she felt this, the more she realized how truly she loved Morrison
Morrison was grumpy, had a sharp tongue and a quick temper
Yet, none of these flaws diminished her love for him
She even cherished his imperfections
She had scorned herself for it knowing she was beyond help
But everything seemed to be improving she had even started to dream of their future together
Years of persistence and obsession, never did the imagine they d be shaken by Mona’s sudden appearance
After years apart seeing Morrison’s different demeanor towards Mona made her feel utterly drained,
No matter how hard she tried she couldn’t win Momson’s heart
Someone else lived there, a fact she couldn’t change
She had tried everything short of handing her heart to him on a platter, but he didn’t want it. She couldn’t force him
Otherwise how could the face the indifference, or even disdain, as he tossed her heart aside?
Her eyes burned in the cold air
She felt powerless
She cared too much for Morrison, so even the slightest gesture from him was etched into her memory
That’s why she couldn’t stand to see the way he looked at Mona, his attitude towards her, his special treatment of
her
Footsteps approached steadily from behind She glanced over her shoulder, managing a weak smile, and stopped to
look up at the much taller man
“Is your face okay?
Winston looked down at her, shaking his head after a few seconds. This scratch is nothing”
“Momson has a bad temper, you know that Why provoke him?”
Winston’s hands were in his pockets as he looked toward the corner where a pine tree stood. The guy has low EQ
He needed a jolt to help open up his emotional
channels
Rose paused then laughed helplessly. Looks like he almost opened yours instead!”
Seeing the faint smile on Roses face. Winston felt a little less tense
“Maybe so. But that punch shows he still cares about you, at least a little”
Roses smile was tinged with irony Any man would be upset to see his wife being hit on by another man right in front
of him. It’s a matter of pride
She couldn’t forget his warnings. As long as she bore the name Mrs. Witt, she had to protect the Witt family’s
reputation
No family wanted the scandal of an unfaithful wife
Winston fell silent, not disagreeing with the possibility

“But to run out like this, isn’t it a bit too much? That’s your home Why let her waltz in while you run out?”
Rose’s gaze darkened “Whatever in front of Morrison. I’ll always be the one who can’t do anything right instead of

Rose shook her head Standing my ground as Mrs. Witt. I’m just an empty shell. To assert myself before Monia would
be.
She sighed Morison wouldn’t allow it
He wouldn’t stand for Mona feeling slighted
She had foreseen many scenarios. but all ended with her own embarrassmeni

“Have you lost your marbles? Believing such nonsense?”
Rose let out a soft chuckle. “No, Winston, it’s not that. I just feel like I really loved the wrong way A marriage forced
into being is just about possession, but it feels like i never truly have it if this continues, Morrison and I are just
heading towards mutually assured destruction Might as well end it here…”
Despite the heartache, it seemed far better than a future filled with endless suffering for both of them
Winston’s eyelid twitched
Damn, this drama had gone too far It didn’t snap Morrison out of it, but it brought this woman to an epiphany
Tsk The scariest thing is a woman who’s seen the light
