Chapter 1985
Seeing her silence, Wayne thought she was still upset about last night’s incident.
“Sweetie, I know I’ve messed up regarding Liam’s matter” Wayne reached out and held Rosalynn’s hand tight.
His hand was freezing
Rosalynn lowered her eyelids, her gaze falling on his wrist, hidden under the long sleeve of his home wear.
“Let’s go upstairs” Rosalynn pulled back her hand and tumed towards the staircase.
Back in the room.e2
“Did you have dinner? Laura left you some dessert, I’ll go down and get it for you” Wayne uttered before closing
the room door, inexplicably anxious. “No need “Rosalynn spoke.
“Wayne, you’ve been out all day, where have you been?” Rosalynn asked straightforwardly.
Wayne was slightly taken aback, “I had some things to deal with…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“What business required you to drive out alone at four in the morning?” Rosalynn suddenly raised her voice, “Don’t
you dare lie to mel
Wayne’s expression changed instantly
He took a step forward, wanting to hold Rosalynn’s hand, “Don’t be upset, let me explain.”
“Hold on” Rosalynn walked straight to the bedside table, picked up the bottle that was more than half empty. “Why
are so many pills missing? Have you taken them
all?”
Wayne quickly shook his head, “I wasn’t feeling well after our fight last night, I spilled the pills when I was taking
them, and flushed them down the toilet.” “Really?” Rosalynn’s brows knitted together, “These are all to be taken in
a fixed quantity, overdosing can cause problems!”
“Really!” Wayne quickly nodded, “If you’re worried, we can get my blood tested right now!”
Since Wayne was capable of driving more than a hundred kilometers, Rosalynn guessed that the pills weren’t
consumed.
“It’s my fault, I should’ve told you.” Wayne quickly apologized again, “Don’t be upset…”
“I’m not upset” Rosalynn looked at Wayne, Tm really worried about you!”
“Don’t worry, I’m fine.” Wayne gently hugged Rosalynn, “I left early this morning because a kid I met in Norhaven
called me for help,”
“A kid from Norhaven?” Rosalynn hadn’t heard about this person.
“It’s the kid who almost hit me with his bike.” Wayne quickly explained. Tve seen him a couple of times at the Scott
family’s place.”
“A guest of the Scott family?” Rosalynn asked.
“Yes” Wayne nodded
“What happened to him? Is it serious?”
“Tm not quite sure. It seems like a family dispute, and when I found him, he was battered and bruised.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRosalynn subconsciously linked Wayne’s chivalrous act with this incident.
“And the people who are associated with the Scott family are all from prominent families, how could they resort to
domestic violence?” Rosalynn’s face showed disgust, “Who are these people?”
Wayne was stunned.
Even though he had seen the boy several times, he had never asked his name.
Tm not sure” Wayne shook his head slightly, “I lost my phone, otherwise I could have asked.”
How did you lose your phone?”
Wayne sighed a bit despondently. “I was with him the whole time, didn’t check the time, and when I realized it was
past lunchtime and I hadn’t messaged you, I quickly tried to call you, but I dropped my phone into the lake. I tried to
fish it out for a long time but couldn’t find it ”
Rosalynn didn’t respond
So, he was soaking wet because of this? This is too absurd
“War, were you in the lake for a long time?” Rosalynn immediately grabbed his injured hand, “How’s your wound?”
Before Rosalynn could roll up Wayne’s sleeve, he instinctively yanked his hand back, took two steps back, and put
some distance between them
“My wounds healed, it’s alright, no need to check?”
