Chapter 215
Beverly watched Wayne as he walked away.
“You’re overthinking things” Beverly said. “He’s usually so cold and indifferent. But today, he took care of you all the time and barely ate anything.”
Olivia scoffed and retorted, “But his mind seemed elsewhere the entire time”
“Perhaps he was contemplating what to do with the stand in now that the real one has returned?” Beverly asked with a hint of disdain at the mention of the stand-in.
Olivia didn’t respond. She simply turned and made her way toward the house.
As night fell, a soft, chilly drizzle began to fall
Wayne parked his car by the roadside, sitting inside and smoking one cigarette after another.
It wasn’t until the late hours of the night that he finally started the car and left. Aimless initially, he somehow found himself near Rosalynn’s apartment.
Being with Rosalynn had always brought him a sense of peace over the years.
After parking the car he dragged his tired body into Rosalynn’s apartment
He unlocked the door using his fingerprint, assuming she wouldn’t be home
“Wayne?”
Just as he took off his jacket, the bedroom door opened, and there stood Rosalynn in her soft pajamas, her eyes still filled with sleep.
Wayne paused for a moment.
The dim yet warm light highlighted Rosalynn, who emanated a sense of calm and peace.
“You’re back?” Wayne asked, swiftly moving to embrace her tightly in his arms
Her warm body was real, not a figment of his imagination.
“You’re squeezing me too tight,” Rosalynn patted his back gently, “Ease up a bit!”
“Why did you come back alone? Are you upset that i didn’t come to pick you up? Wayne asked anxiously.
If she got angry, she might run away. Maybe she came back to pack her things
he hadn’t shown up, she could have left!
“Do you think I’m that petty?” Rosalynn playfully pushed him away. “How many cigarettes have you smoked? You smell temible!”
Wayne regained his composure and promptly let go of Rosalynn.
He had been at the hospital for a long time, and he might still smell like it.
Concerning the Olivia situation, Wayne decided not to tell Rosalynn. He didn’t want to trouble her with more worries.
“Tll go take a shower now”
Wayne caressed Rosalynn’s hair and headed to the bathroom.
Rosalynn stood still, not expecting Wayne to show up out of the blue
However, when he hugged her, the uneasy premonition in her heart disappeared
Rosalynn exhaled softly, went back to her bedroom, and crawled back under the covers
Just as she was about to drift off to sleep, Wayne entered the room freshly showered
He gently lifted the covers, slid next to Rosalynn, and skillfully wrapped his long arms and legs around her.
Rosalynn placed her hand on his C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
“Must be tough dealing with the company after breaking off the engagement,” she asked.
Wayne, burying his face in her neck, hummed in agreement, It’s manageable.”
Rosalynn played with his fingers, “I should have returned a few days earlier to help you out, but Hilaria Jared ended up in the hospital, vomiting blood”
“Weren’t you always calling her Granny Jared? Why the switch to her name now?” Wayne perceptively asked, “Did she upset you?”
“No,” Rosalynn denied
Wayne flipped her around to face him.
Rosalynn remained silent
“Tell me the truth” Wayne stared intently at her
