Chapter 1814
“Damn, this dramas gone too far. Didn’t snap Morrison out of it, but sure as hell had an epiphany herself
Rose, what about the baby? What are you planning to do with the baby?”
Rose’s complexion shifted subtly as she gently placed her hand on her belly, falling silent, lost in thought
The baby
Winston caught a glimpse of a man storming out of the villa with a fierce determination and raised an eyebrow c2
Rose, maybe you re on to something instead of weaning yourself out with all this grief, perhaps it’s time to let go.
Your life isn’t just about one man. You’ve got your business friends your child You can have a full life without him as
long as you’re willing to open your heart so others can come in Set him free and give yourself a
chance foo
Rose listened in a daze, then nodded slightly, as if in a trance “You’re right
#
A strong and chilling presence approached Rose turned to see Momson, his face a mask of extreme displeasure,
marching towards her with purpose
Instinctively she glanced back towards the villa’s entrance but Mona was nowhere in sight
So what was he playing at Leaving Mona all alone in the house?
That wasn’t exactly normal, was it? Not for a host, nor for someone who’s supposed to be his sweetheart
Especially since he knew very well that Granny and Mom weren’t exactly Mona’s biggest fans.
Wasn’t he wored about her getting the short end of the stick?
In a blur Momson was standing in front of her yanking her into his arms, his face cold as ice, his tone frantic
“Why did you runti
Rose looked up at him a half–hearted smile on her lips. It’s not like I could really run, could 17”
She was pregnant for heaven’s sake How could she run?
Her gaze lingered involuntarily on his thin clothing before returning to the doorway in the distance
Is this okay with you?” she asked quietly ‘Leaving her alone like that, aren’t you afraid Granny and Mom will give her
a hard time?”
Morrisons expression shifted ever so slightly as he narrowed his eyes at Rose ‘So, you knew they’d give her a hard
time, and you ran out here on purpose,
chase after you just to give them time alone to do their worst, is that it?”
Rose blinked in disbelief, turning to face Momson “What are you trying to say?”
“You got it right. They have been hard on her and in the end, without you lifting a finger you’ve driven her away
Rose felt a sudden wrench in her heart her whole body trembling with anger, her eyes misting over
She took a deep breath, exhaled, inhaled again and exhaled
After several repetitions she managed to suppress the torrent of emotions and finally looked Morrison straight in
the eye
“You’re wrong she said, struggling to keep her voice steady and her expression indifferent ‘Because I never wanted
to drive Mona away On the contrary, I wanted to help you two wanted her to stay, to be here in R City by your side,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtin that house I’d move out Morrison, I can’t keep doing this with you. Let’s get a divorce?
She managed to control her emotions, but by the end of her speech, there was a clear tremor in her voice
And her words froze Morrison in his tracks
We’re getting a divorce.
Those words hit him like a sledgehammer shattering his composure, trembling through his very being
Divorce
Momson stared at her too shocked to react

Morrison, almost reflexively, reached out and grabbed her faxely, his chest heaving
Rose took a deep breath and wriggled her wrist free from his grasp
“I’m to clear the way for you, then i need to do it right I hate dragging things out.”
With that she walked away Momson tried to follow, but Winston stepped forward, blocking his path
His face darkened veins on his forehead threatening to burst
He grabbed Winston by the collar and pulled him close “Was this your doing
Mr Momson Winston interjected with a hint of annoyance. Don’t go blaming others for your own missteps. I’m
merely an admirer, and despite my heartfelt confessions, she never batted an eye. Now, why do you think she’s
suddenly changed her tune? Don’t you have any clue?”
Momsons face turned a shade of thunder yet he found himself at a loss for words
“Let me tell you something Mr Morrison Winston said with a wry smile ‘Don’t pretend that Rose is too proud to play
dirty, but even if she did if a woman was willing to do whatever it took to scheme and plot just to be by my side
openly and honestly out of love for me, I’d be over the moon”
“What did I ever do to deserve such attention? She doesn’t owe me anything I haven’t been all that great to her So
what’s her angle?”
The fury in Morrisons posture seemed to recede slightly, leaving him looking somewhat dazed.
“What are you saying?” he asked coldly, his gaze piercing into Winston “Are you saying Rose loves me?”
Winston paused, then let out a mocking laugh
“What else man? Why else do you think Rose would want to marry you? She’s been labeled a gold digger by
everyone, including you, for marrying into the Witt family. She’s been pregnant and alone, with no one to care for
her, enduring your verbal abuses and cold stares, suffering your suspicions and yet she never retaliated Do you
think she’s lost her mind of just enjoys the abuse?”
Morrison was silent, his jaw set tight
Winston sighed, his tone laced with frustration. “You’re utterly clueless She’s never hidden her feelings for you, and
now you’re asking me this question?”
Morrison’s expression darkened
“Maybe you’re just used to women falling over themselves for you, and one less wouldn’t matter, especially since
you’ve got someone else on your mind She’s willing to step aside for you two, and I guess you should be happy
now, right? Finally free from this woman you despise so much. Should I be happy for you?”
A muscle in Momson’s jaw twitched, and he abruptly let go of Winston.
“Keep out of it,” Morrison warned “Stay away from Rosel
Winston shrugged indifferently. “Sure, there are only a few days left anyway. Once the divorce is final, the one who
world have a say in her life will be you
Mornson’s forehead veins pulsed as he turned and strode away
Rose couldn’t bring herself to say harsh words to him?
She could talk about divorce, but was there anything more cruel than that?
Damn it, he acted like he knew Rose so well!
At that moment, Rose had reopened the door to the villa. The three people in the living room stood in an obvious
tension. As they turned to her entrance, Rose could see the redness in Mona’s eyes, the same resentment she
always showed.
Rose hesitated for a moment, then, with a forced smile, closed the door behind her and approached them.
Molly looked up at her with a faint smile “Rose, you’re back.”
Rose nodded forcing a smile, and locked eyes with Mona.
“It looks like you ve been wronged today, she commented.
Mona composed herself, maintaining a graceful demeanor. “Rose, I’m here today simply as Morrison’s classmate
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand friend to check on him. It would be inappropriate not to inquire about him when I’m here in R City, don’t you
think?
Molly and Megan frowned
Rose nodded “You don’t need to stress your current role as a classmate and friend. We all know you two have
history. It’s natural for an ex–girlfriend to be concerned”
Her words made the color drain from the faces of everyone in the room.
“Rose, what are you saying?” Molly suddenly had a bad feeling
Rose just smiled
And Mona, let me be clear your breakup with Morrison had nothing to do with me. I’ve been interested in Morrison
since college, but i controlled my emotiona. to interfere with your relationship, and I won’t in the future either You
don’t have to treat me like an enemy
She paused glancing at Megan and Molly, and changed her tone Grandma, Mom, I’m grateful for the love and care
you’ve shown me since I joined the Witt family 10 ne forget it
The weight of her words made Molly and Megan’s hearts sink.
Rose
‘But love is beyond anyone control except those involved We all have flaws, but we all deserve love and happiness.
Mona and Montsen have been together 5
it’s clear they still have feelings for each other So let’s do the right thing for all of us, including me Let’s give them
our blessings.
Mona stared at Rose, utterly confused by her sudded speech.
Molly and Megan were equally stunned grasping Rose as if she were slipping away
*Rose, what are you talking about?”
Rose managed a weak smile “Grandma, Mom, I’ve thought it through
“But what about you? You love Morrison the most How can you just give up so easily? Wait a little longer Momson
doesn’t understand new, but ghe tim time.
Rose shook her head her face a portrait of sorrow Tve tried to make him love me, but I’ve realized it doesn’t work I

As she spoke, she tried to keep her composum but by the and tears had begun to fill her eyes.

Mona’s face was a canvas of emotions as she processed Rose’s words, disbelief slowly morphing into a bubbling
hint of smug satisfaction
Yes, it made sense. Love couldn’t be fomad, and despite her flaws, the still held a plane in Mumanity feat
