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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter 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‘
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe 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
“Who are you calling crazy? Cheeky led pilfering food off someone else’s plate and then haring the ne
