Chapter 1811
“Really? I’m not even allowed a glance now? I’ve seen more than my fair share in the past, and yet I’ve never
caught a shadow of you.”
Momson’s face darkened to a stormy hue. This is my house, you wretch Coming in here and trying to seduce my
wife, have you no shame?”
Winston scoffed dismissively “Mr Morrison, I’d think twice about those accusations if I were you. Maybe take a
moment to reflect on your own escapades. Sneaking around behind your wife’s back with an old flame at some
swanky hotel–what exactly was going through your head then?”
At that Momson’s complexion took on a sickly pallor, and Rose’s expression froze on her face
Grandma and Molly instantly furrowed their brows c2
Grandma’s face turned grave as she rose from the couch, demanding. What is this nonsense? Ex–lovers? Speak
up!”
Morison squinted his eyes and, ignoring Grandma, addressed Winston with a chilled tone, “If we’re airing dirty
laundry, should I bring up those cozy dinners you’ve been sharing with Rose?
“Why not?” Winston nodded readily ‘ll admit it, I’ve got a soft spot for Rose She was clueless about it until today She
invited me to endorse her product, and when I flew in from P City, she took me out for a welcome dinner. Our
relationship, either in the past or in the present, is nothing but transparent What about you, Mr. Morisont
“If it werent for the blessing of online media, perhaps no one would know that Rose is your lawfully wedded wife,
night? All thanks to those online platforms. Your wife after marrying you, had to endure what rumors and mockery.
Are you unable to see it, or do you simply not care at all?
If you paid her any attention, maybe she wouldn’t have been seen with me at all. Yes, we dined together but she’s
not an ex of mine. I didn’t take her down memory places we used to eat and i didn’t play the gallant man I’ve heard
of chivalry, Mr. Morrison, but have you ever shown a fraction of that to your own wife?
Winston spoke lazily, but his voice dripped with scom
Morrison’s face turned a shade of green, while Winston left him with no ground to stand on.
to
And Rose, who had tried not to care too much, now found herself awash with a bitter hurt as Winston deliberately
brought it all up. She stood silently, unsure what to say or
do
She felt like an outsider in her own marriage.
She was entitled to an explanation from Morrison, yet she remained silent.
Out of fear
Afraid of being heartbroken, of being overwhelmed by sadness, afraid that every word, every expression from him,
could so easily wound her
She didn’t want
Most of the time, she just wanted to live in the moment, even if it was a blur.
Like these past few days, clueless about the reasons or the future, she just wanted to bask in the moments with

Not to think too much, just to cherish the joy while it lasted
She never dared to ask for love from Monson
But the contradiction was there, the longer they were together, the more she craved, and she couldn’t ignore the
barrier between them.
She had mentioned Mona before, but that conversation had faded into nothingness
Now, with Winston’s mention, under this tense confrontation, she truly didn’t know what Morrison might say, or how
he might thoughtlessly hurt her
Her hands clenched tightly at her sides she stood behind Momson, head slightly bowed, lips pressed tightly
together, her whole body tense, palms chilling
She braced herself for any pain that might come from Morrison’s direction.
Grandma glanced at her her expression growing even more severe ‘Morrison! I’m speaking to you! Who is this ex–
lover you were talking about?”
Morrisons brow was furrowed, his demeanor icy. “Is this ever going to end?”
Molly, normally the epitome of gentleness, now showed a rare coldness “Morrison, you need to clear this up is it
that Mona woman? Has she come
Momson remained silent, but Winston added fuel to the fire Seems Mr. Morrison is quite the loyal lover Mention an
ex, and it’s clear to everyone that we re
dear Miss Mona”
Roses eyes quivered, suddenly feeling a wave of dizziness and a tightness in her chest.
How faithful Morison was with only one lover
Should she be relieved or saddened?
His past belonged to a single woman
Mona meant that much to him
For any other wealthy young man, girlfriends would be too numerous to count
Some flings some with feelings involved
in this harsh reality such things were commonplace, even expected
But Monson he had only Mona
She closed her eyes tightly forcing herself not to dwell on these thoughts
To avoid trapping herself in a dead end of sadness
Momson’s current coldness was a familiar sting to Molly and Grandina
It was the same attitude he had shown them years ago when they opposed

Chapter 1811
“Momson” A furious shout erupted not from Grandma or Rose, nor Winston, but from the usually gentle and soft–
spoken Molly
“Do you even have a clue what you’re babbling about?! Molly was beside herself with frustration Have you
forgotten that you re a marned man now? Look at the woman standing beside you–she’s your wife carrying your
child for heaven’s sakel Grandma was right, why did you leave Mona back in R City? So she can pop up anytime she
pleases? Where does that leave Rose?
Rose shuddered at the mention of her name, the bitter taste of jealousy almost spilling river Her eyes despite her
efforts, betrayed a reddening sorrow
Molly’s words caused Morrison to whip his head around. Their gazes clashed, and Rose was startled by the icy anger
in his eyes She flinched and took a step back
She tried to speak, but under Momson’s gaze she was lost for words in the end she could only look away her
attempt to hide her discomposure only highlighting her current state of distress
Morrison’s eves flickered but Rose refused to meet his gaze again
Megan and Molly witnessing Rose’s state felt both heartache and sympathy Grandma, in particular, was furious She
raised her cane ready to ghe Momson a piece of her
mind
That damned scoundrell thrash you today, you heartless wretch
A muffled thud echoed the force behind it causing a buzzing sound
“Grandma Despite everything Rose called out, wanting to shield Morrison, ‘Please stop, he’s still sick
But Grandma’s cane raised again, couldn’t be stopped
As it was about to strike Rose Morrison instinctively turned and shielded her with his back
However the expected pain didn’t come Instead. Rose felt someone grasp her arm
Loosening his hold on Rose Mornson turned to see Winston holding back the cane with one hand and gripping
Rose’s wrist with the other
If it weren’t for me. Rose wouldn’t have been in harm’s way. Winston said releasing Grandma’s cane and still
holding onto Rose He met Momsons frosty gaze with a smirk “Don’t look at me like that Who do you think is really to
blame here?
His mocking smile deepened if it weren’t for Miss Mona, today’s drama would’ve ended with me being the
shameless homewrecker Thanks to you. I can stand here such legitimacy, while you, despite your night to resent
me, have no moral high ground
Morrison’s face darkened “You say I have no right?
Winston’s expression didn’t waver “You’re a husband in name only. Do you really think you re doing a good job?”
Momson narrowed his eyes his temper flaring as he faced off with Winston, who was openly challenging him and
expressing his feelings for Rose His pride and a mix of inexplicable emotions bubbled into rage
With a single thought, Morrison moved towards Winston, confronting him and demanding “Let go of her hand”
Winston’s lips curled into a cold sneer ‘Let go of her that easily? No way”
Each word was a deliberate poke at Momson’s anger, which reached its breaking point. His handsome face twisted
with rage, and he grabbed Winston’s collar, pulling hurt in close his menacing aura closing in

Rose’s heart skipped a beat, and she rushed forward to embrace Morrison, trying to stop him from throwing
another punch
“Morrison”
He was all tensed up, barely aware of Rose’s presence As he was about to hit her unintentionally. Molly stepped in
to shield Rose
“Morrison Be careful you’ll hurt Rose
Molly shout froze Morrison who turned to see the woman clinging to him from behind
Momson please stop
Rose looked up at him her eyes pleading
Momson glared at her before slowly lowering his arms
Whats wrong? Can I stand to see me mess him up or is it that you can’t bear to see him hurt?”
Rose was taken aback by the fericity in his expression, a side of him shed never seen before His words ignited a
