Chapter 1143
Ever since Rosalynn realized Cory was a headstrong little boy, she quit micromanaging his life and learning style.
She knew he had the chops to figure things out and solve problems on his ‘own. Too much meddling would only
muddle his thought process.
For instance, she knew Cory needed to hang out with other kids and get used to the noisy environment. After all, he
just started school and there’ll be plenty more noisy situations down the line. But instead of forcing it, Rosalynn let
Cory adapt and blend in on his own terms, which worked out way better than her pushing him.
After a brief chat, Cory scampered back. Rosalynn was pleasantly surprised. The other kids didn’t force Cory into

glance and then burst into laughter.
In the car, Rosalynn asked about the difficulty level of Cory’s competition. “Piece of cake,” Cory responded,
“Honestly, we could go for something tougher next time.” Rosalynn gave him a thumbs up, then Cory went back to
his iPad, completely engrossed in whatever he was doing.
The yellow leaves of autumn line both sides of the road, creating a gorgeous scene. Wayne turned to Rosalynn with
love in his eyes. He felt guilty that he hadn’t seen her sooner.
It was late when they finally returned to Moonlit Lake. Cory slept out in the car since he was so exhausted. Rosalynn
was worried as Wayne carried him out. She touched Cory’s forehead and then his hands, concerned that he was

Hilaria Jared was scheduled to pick up lvy from school today. Ivy wasn’t disappointed that her father didn’t come.
When she finally arrived home, she and Calvin immediately started to work on their greenhouse.
“Why so late? Ivy’s about to doze off,” Hilaria whispered when she met them.
“The competition ended around five,” Rosalynn answered, “Wayne, take Cory up to his room, then come down for
dinner.”
“Don’t we need to wake Cory?” Wayne asked. “No, let him sleep,” Rosalynn replied. Then Wayne went upstairs with
Cory.
When Rosalynn turned around after seeing them go, Hilaria was beaming. “What?” Asked Rosalynn. Nothing, I’m

Hilarina patted Rosalynn on the back, said, “Let’s eat, and then you can get some rest,” and yawned her way to her
bed.
Wayne eventually made his way down to the basement. He enquired, “Where’s grandma?” She stayed up waiting
for us. Rosalynn said, extending her stiff neck after sitting for so long, “Now that we’re back, she’s gone to bed.”
Wayne sauntered over, lightly kneading her neck,” I’ll give you a massage before bed.”
Rosalynn looked up at him.
Then, she raised her arms, wrapping them around him, and buried her head in his neck
