The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1809

“Who are you calling crazy, you little rascal? Sneaking bites of someone else’s food and then having the nerve to

insult them? You’re the one crazy one to me!”

“Duch, mom, go easy Morrison is getting an IV. You want him to bleed out?”

Molly quickly stopped Megan, at a loss for words

She cast a somewhat resentful glance at Morrison.

“And can you believe it? That little scamp had the audacity to blame sweet Rose for his own mischief. Does he

deserve it or what?c2

Moily, feeling helpless nodded in agreement. “He does

Indeed, it was outrageous

Rose blinked in confusion from the sidelines, her mind struggling to keep up with the unfolding drama

Wasn’t she being blamed a second ago?

Although Megan was fuming, she ultimately refrained from delivering another smack

That boy is nothing but trouble from head to toe completely ruining a fine girl like Rose.

Rose managed a half smile secretly enjoying the feeling of having someone backing her up.

Morrison remained silent with a cold expression

Tm warning you, if you ever hurt Rose again, just you wait. Even if you don’t say a word, Ill make her divorce you”

Momson stayed mute, his expression suddenly shifting

“She’s carrying your great grandchild

Megan snorted. “So Even if you are divorced he is still my great–grandchild”

Morrison’s face tightened a look of contained fury spreading across it

Megan eyed him with a hint of amusement, her eyebrows arching subtly.

Morrison’s expression sure was hard to look at

Megan cleared her throat, As beautiful and talented as our Rose is, there are lots of men lining up to woo her

“Rose, when you re picking a man next time, make sure your eyes are wide open. Don’t choose another one like

him. Aim for someone taller and handsomer A woman lose anything but her pride Without him, you should be living

even better

Rose glanced at Morrisons sour expression, stifling a laugh, and nodded. Thanks for the advice, Gran. I’ll remember

that.

Thats my girl Don’t sell yourself short. With your qualities, the right man is just around the comer

Morrison’s expression was incredibly gloomy at this point

Was this really his grandmother or some witch sent to torment him?

“You all car leave now

Megan cast him an icy look and continued talking to Rose. That actor who was in the news with you the other day,

the international award wining actor. Winston, was it? He’s quite the catch Tall, clean–cut, handsome, and with such

a presence. If things get tough, you might want to reserve him

Morrison felt like his lungs were about to explode with initation

This was no grandmother of his but a bona fide hag

Rose was equally stunned by Megan’s words, seriously questioning whether she was truly Morrison’s real grandma

Gran

Rose called out gently, unsure if she could handle Momson’s darkening mood any longer. She hoped his

grandmother would show some mercy and stop provoking ho She was getting a real sense of how much the old

woman disliked Morrison

“Is that actor still in R City?

Rose hesitated, then nodded. “Yeah He was practically living next door

“Well, introduce me He’s such a hunk on screen, I gotta meet him in person Don’t mind my age. I’ve still got a

young heart, and I won’t pass the chance t good–looking man

Rose forced a smile, “Sure”

As she spoke, Momsoris dark voice cut through the air Rose

“Yes?

Monson glared at her, and she quickly looked elsewhere

“My IV’s done Get this needle out

Rose glanced at the IV bag. There’s still one more

“I said I’m done

“Morrison Molly felt concern for her son and naturally disagreed

Without a word Rose connected the needle to another bag.

Rose!

Rose looked troubled, “Stop fussing it’s almost over

Momson pressed his lips together. Fine, but get them out of here re not just my stomach that’s hurting now f’s my

lungo tàn Hutty v

Rose’s features twisted in discomfon

How could she possibly ask her alders to leave?

› you think you’re snubbing?” Momson’s hunt words were clear to anyone

Mogan, fuming, reached out to grab his ear

“You think you can just shoo away your own mother and me? Think you’re too big for your britches? You don’t want

the IV? I’ll take it out myself”

Megan moved to unhook Morrison’s IV with a vengeance, as if she wouldn’t be satisfied without puncturing him a

hundred more times

Molly and Rose turned pale at her actions. Melly rushed to restrain the old woman, while Rose hurriedly shielded

Morrison’s IV arm, terrified she might actually yank it out.

Seeing Roses protective stance, a flicker of amusement passed through Megan’s eyes

Don’t defend him Rose He’s not worth it. He just tried to kick out his own mother and me Can you believe that?

Move aside. This has nothing to do with you”

Rose Checked Morrison’s arm one last time relieved it was still intact after all the commotion

Then she turned trying to defend Morrison Gran, you’ve got it all wrong He’s just ill and in a bad mood. Please, be

patient with him”

” or not it doesn’t mean he can lose his mind Move aside, or you’ll get it too.

Megan pushed past Molly and swung her cane at Rose, her words flying as fast as her attacks.

Seeing this Morrison’s dark eyes suddenly turned cold. Without hesitation, he raised his hand to cover Rose’s head,

shielding her in his embrace

Megan’s lips curled with a mischievous glint, and the walking stick came down hard on Morrison’s arm.

The strike camed a weight that was unmistakably intentional

She had to make it convincing after all How else would she outsmart this clever young whippersnapper?

Only by such a ruse could she uncover just how much this rascal truly cared for little Rose

Rose didn’t feel the pain, but the sound of a stick hitting the body made her pause. She quickly got up, only to see

Morrison, with the needle in his arm, embracing her and Megan’s cane had fallen on his shoulder

The commotion had caused blood to backflow into the tubing.

The IV had come loose

Rose couldn’t worry about the possibility of another blow from Granny’s cane. She steadied Morrison’s arm and,

with trembling hands, removed the needle

A white cotton ball was instantly saturated with bright red blood Without hesitation, Rose pressed down with her

hand, snatched a fresh cotton ball from the bedside table. and applied it with force

Only then did she look up at Momson, concern etched in her voice, ‘Does it hurt?”

Morrison met her gaze for a moment before shaking his head, “I’m fine!

Molly looked at the chaotic scene in the room, the IV bag swinging, the IV tube pulled out, liquid flowing on the floor,

and Morrison’s hand bleeding. It was a complete mess All of this made her unable to help feeling a bit wronged.

“How could you do this?!”

Molly released Megan and collapsed onto the couch, burying her face in her hands to hide her tears.

Granny’s face twisted with a mix of regret and embarrassment.

“This

she stammered, lowering her cane and taking a step towards her daughter–in–law. “Your boy always gets under my

skin, you know?”

But he’s sick Molly’s voice quivered with hurt, “He’s just discharged from the hospital, still on a drip, and you still do

this.”

Her sobs cut deep, tugging at the heart

If there was anything that could disarm Megan it was the sight of her own daughter in–law in tears,

Molly was a gem – kind gentle cultured and beyond reproach.

The only flaw? Her coddling of Morrison.

It was one thing to spoil the only grandson, but another to do so without limits. That was not love, it was harm

Someone had to play the bad cop in educating the young.

If Molly couldnt, then Megan had no choice but to step in.

Thank goodness Momson was a tough cookie

But mollifying Molly afterward was never easy

To have upset such a sweet soul was truly regrettable

“I just lost my temper Megan conceded

Molly wailed even louder. You always do this, always too rough He’s your grandson And Rose is pregnant”

Megan sat beside her, stroking Molly’s hand with an apologetic air cooing. Stop crying darling It breaks my heart. I’ll

try to control my temper

“You always say that

“This time, I mean it. I’ll be more careful

Molly shot Megan a reproachful glance, her eyes brimming with tears

Megan chuckled awkwardly Come on, no more tears Kids are resilient Look at him, he’s grown up healthy, hasn’t

he?

Molly pouted, “But he’s about to be a father Please stop thinking about hitting hun it a not good for the children‘

Megan nodded in agreement, Ainght, alright, you’re right

Molly’s expression softened slightly

Rose, meanwhile, was utterly befuddled by the Witt family dynamica Regardless, it seemed pretty rece

She turned her attention back to Mornsons hand placing the soaked cotton ball with a fresh one and looked up of

him tenderly

Then, pressing the cotton against his arm, she asked softly here did Granny hot you?

Morrison murmured, his lips pressed together

ed up his sleeve to find a vivid red mark below the shoulder. Her face tightened as she gently massaged the area,

“Does this hurt?”

Momson’s gaze lingered on her, circling her head. “Are you okay?”

Rose nodded. “Yeah”

Momson brought her head down again, his warm palm gently rubbing her hair. “You sure it doesn’t hurt?”

“It really doesn’t. Rose reassured her heart filled with a mix of tenderness and gratitude

He was bleeding, all because he had shielded her

In a room meant for four only their voices echoed back and forth

Megan, seated on the sofa, watched them with a slow smile spreading across her face

Molly too, was drawn into their interaction, and upon glimpsing Megan’s expression, she suddenly realized

something Megan had swung that cane at Rose fully expecting Morrison to protect her

But their relationship had actually blossomed so much in just a few days.

Could feelings really progress that quickly?

Despite being married for two months, Morrison had refused to face Rose. And yet, in less than three days, they

had reached this new level of closeness

Had Morrison truly disliked Rose from the start?

Even under normal circumstances, relationships take time to grow.

However after a moment she felt relieved In any case the relationship between them, if it developed in a positive

direction, was naturally gratifying

Whatever had happened before didn’t matter. All that counted was the future.

“The bleeding’s almost stopped I’ll wait a bit and then call the doctor to set up a new IV for you,” Rose said

suddenly, reaching over Morrison for her phone

Momson however pressed down on her hand, “No need for today, let’s skip the drip

Rose fell silent merely gazing at him with a sorrowful look

Momson sighed and released her hand, turning his head away

“Get him on the phone, quick

Rose smiled faintly and scrolled through her contacts, dialing the doctor

Not long after, the doctor returned. He didn’t know what had happened but silently tidied up the mess and

prepared the medicine again. “Mr. Witt, perhaps we could try the right arm this time?

Momson didn’t even pause to consider. No, the left.”

The doctor glanced at the bruised patchwork of veins on the back of Mornson’s left hand, hesitating. “Mr. Witt, you

see

“Can’t you find another spot? There was no hint of negotiation in Morrison’s grim expression

Without further ado, the physician searched for a suitable vein nearby and successfully inserted the IV

Megan and Molly quietly exhaled ir relief as they watched Morrison comply with the drip

“Always making a fuss Megan couldn’t help but comment under her breath

Momson gave her a cold, detached look “And who do you think is responsible for that?”

Megan pursed her lips

“If theres nothing else please leave

Mornisons tone was irrefutably harsh. If it had been just about him, it would be one thing, but the memory of

Grandma’s stick descending upon Rose was terrifying

He distinctly remembered the feeling of his heart being squeezed, and the breathlessness that followed

The panic of that moment was still fresh in his mind, along with a simmering inexplicable anger

it was as if someone had trampled over his last nerve, utterly unforgivable

If the other person wasn’t his grandmother, or if he hadn’t successfully protected Rose in the first place, he didn’t

know what he might have de in the end
