The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1034

She didn’t want her child to grow up with a warped sense of fatherly love, or worse, to feel like it didn’t exist at all.

Rose swallowed the lump in her throat and picked up her phone, dialing a number without hesitation. The call was

picked up quickly, an elderly voice filled with cheer from the other end, “Rose, have you landed? We’ve arranged

for someone to pick you up…”

“Grandma!” Rose cut Megan off abruptly.

Megan sounded confused, realizing something was wrong, “What’s the matter, dear?”

Rose sucked in a deep breath, steadying her emotions before she spoke again.

“I’m sorry, Grandma. I don’t love Morrison, and the baby was an accident. So, this wedding…we’re not going

through with it.”

She paused when she got to “I don’t love Morrison“, even though she had prepared herself for it.

Chloe’s eyes flickered. It seemed like saying it only confirmed that Rose couldn’t let go of her feelings for Morrison.

Megan’s breathing got heavier, “Did…Did Morrison say something to you?”

“No, Grandma. This is my decision. I don’t want to marry someone I don’t love. Please understand.”

Megan sighed, “I know you love Morrison. I can see it… But regardless, this wedding must go on.”

Megan’s gentle voice hardened, brooking no argument.

“But Grandma…”

“Listen to me!” Megan’s voice got stern, “This isn’t a wedding you can just call off. Our family can’t bear the

embarrassment, understand?”

Without saying more, Megan hung up, taking heavy breaths before calling Morrison.

Morrison stared at the incoming call, his lips pressed together, his cold demeanor more pronounced.

“Grandma.”

“Where are you now?”

“Australia.”

The old lady sucked in a breath, “Morrison, you’re a real piece of work!”

Morrison stayed silent on the other end, his gaze deep and chilly.

Knowing his reticent nature, Megan continued, “Morrison, you better pray I drop dead soon, or I swear I won’t hold

back on that Mona!”

A glint of ice flashed across Morrison’s eyes, “Grandma, you’re going too far.”

Megan huffed, though she felt a pang of pity, “Morrison, you left Rose all alone at the airport! She’s not here for a

visit or a family reunion. She’s here to marry you! You abandoned her at a time like this. Do you realize how much

you’ve hurt her?”

Morrison’s gaze was as deep as the ocean, reflecting the night outside the window, his face still calm. But his lips

unintentionally pressed into a straight line. He looked at the reflection in the window, a woman standing with her

back to him, not moving. Morrison said lightly, “So, what do you want to say?”

Megan’s eyes widened, “What do I want to say? Your wedding with Rose…”

“It will go on as planned.” His voice was devoid of warmth, detached from the words he spoke.

Megan sighed in relief, “And you…”

“I’ll be back tomorrow.”

“Alright.”

Morrison ended the call, sparing a glance at the figure on the bed before heading towards the door.

“Morrison.”

Near the door, the figure on the bed slowly sat up, one hand on the bedsheet, the other covered in bandages; the

blanket slid down revealing her hospital gown.

She had a cute face, but not beautiful. Her skin was pale, she looked frail, but her expression was indifferent.

“Are you leaving?”

“Are you awake?”

She smiled at him, filled with sorrow. With his keen perception, how could he not know that she didn’t sleep at all?

“Are you really going to marry her?”

Morrison gave a nonchalant smile, turned around and glanced at her, then lowered his head to fiddle with his

cufflinks.

“How long do you think I can keep chasing after you?”

Mona’s face seemed even paler, “So you’re mad at me? Thinking I’m ungrateful.”

Morrison remained expressionless, dropped his hands, stood straight, and stuffed his hands in his pockets.

“You are ungrateful.” He looked up, his tall figure standing at the door, cold and noble, his voice devoid of any

fluctuation or warmth, “So there’s no need for me to sacrifice myself for you.”

Mona looked upset, “Then why marry her?”

Morrison turned slightly, his face expressionless, but his coldness was tinged with sarcasm.

“She’s suitable.” A simple sentence, but as cold as ice.

He turned to leave, but Mona chuckled coldly, “Patience…patience runs out eventually. But Morrison, your patience

with me isn’t much. You should try and see how long one’s patience can last.”

Morrison didn’t stop. He opened the hospital room door and left.

Mona chuckled, murmuring to herself, “I want to see how long Rose’s patience can last.”

Rose stood by the window, not moving. Chloe silently went back to the kitchen to clean up. After a while, she saw

Rose sitting on the couch, looking unnaturally calm.

“Chloe, I’m fine on my own, you should go to work.” She picked up an apple and said casually.

“I’m fine.”

How could she leave her at a time like this?

Rose took a bite of her apple and turned to smile at her, “If you don’t mind, let’s go to the hospital later. I want you

to experience what it’s like to be a father.”

Chloe eyed her warily, “What do you mean ‘experience being a father‘? You’re not trying to make me say

something like ‘I don’t want this baby‘, right?”

Rose laughed, “When did you become so cautious? Can’t I joke around with you?”

Chloe remained silent, watching her.

Rose seemed a bit frustrated. “Can you not be so cautious? I really want you to understand what it’s like to be a

father, I want to see our baby, let’s go for an ultrasound later.”

Sighing, she rubbed her belly, looking a bit downcast, “I’m working so hard for him now, feeling kinda blue. He

really should comfort me a bit.”

Chloe was silent. The kid might not have been fully formed yet, and she was already being asked to comfort this

upset mom.

Seemed like life was going to be hectic from here on.

“Then you better start eating. Once you’re done, I’ll take you to the hospital.”

“Okay, darling…”
