Chapter 15.2It was around three in the morning when Rossie woke up. She looks at her surrounding, her eyelids halfway down. Where the hell? Ten more seconds and she finally realized where she was at; Jared’s mini living room. She sits up, yawning. Why didn’t he wake her up? Where is he anyway?On the bed, she sees her husband peacefully sleeping like an angel. Given the fact that he didn’t wake her up, and left her on the couch, she is convinced that he now has a flaw-- his over gentleman side is.While she stands on her side of the bed, with a pillow in her hand, she thinks it would be nice to disturb Jared. It even puzzles her why she’s upset that she didn’t see him with her waking up.“I can throw this pillow at him,” she hissed, glaring at the sleeping man on the bed. She appears to have plastered a murderous look on her face. It lasted for some seconds and she rolls her eyes. “I should just sleep,” she says.Rossie climbed into her side of the bed, sliding herself into the comfo
Rossie lied. When Jared recalls the subject she left on the dining table, she had to make an excuse to brush it off. She laughed and told him it was just that she was feeling a little homesick. At first, she thought it would be a failure but Jared bought it."I'm not sorry that I'm taking you away." He looks over his shoulder to Rossie, his eyes telling her how much he meant what he said. Then he shifted his gaze to his tablet, taking his coffee. He didn't even have any reaction. "Want some breakfast?""What are you having?" she asked. Since she usually just has coffee and bread in the morning, she doesn't know what kind of fancy breakfast his family eats."Apple. I like it," he answered. She could not help but messed her face up which Jared laughed at. There's no way she's just eating apples in the morning. "That's exactly why you should start thinking of what you want for breakfast, baby."While she was thinking about it, she can't help but notice how consistent Jared was at calling
Like the inside of a rose, his wife's lips were as soft. How Jared wants to taste them again but he knows that she was engaged and he wouldn't do something she would be guilty of. So instead of claiming Rossie's lips, he decided to flick her forehead. Instantly, her eyes open, and her brows draw together as she shoots him a dirty look. He could only laugh at her red face. "That's not funny, Jared!" she sneered, shifting her attention to the food at the center table. The way she called his name made a corner of his curve up. His chest somehow felt warm. He barely hears her call him by his name nor ever called him her husband. "I never knew a woman can be this dangerous," he stated, taking his waffle and getting a bite. He didn't get a remark from Rossie but the way she freezes for a second caught his eye. She is affected. "By the way," Rossie uttered, there was a hint of unsureness in her voice and Jared could tell the next line, "are you somehow connected to the company I work fo
In the garden, Veronica and Rossie were having tea. Although Rossie doesn't usually drink any tea unless it's milk tea, she needed to force herself. It turns out, the Corporals are very busy people that they leave the house early in the morning. The elders are mostly in their rooms. There are just certain times that they leave the house and or go outside but that's occasionally. So now, Rossie was stuck with Veronica who is elegantly sipping on her cup of tea. "Jared and I used to run around here all the time. Catherine would always tell us not to pluck the flowers, especially her roses." Veronica stops to chuckle gracefully. "Jared loves the roses so one time he picked one." "And then what happened? Did your mother scold him?" Rossie asked. "No. He was poked by the thorn and he bled," Veronica answers, remembering that moment Jared just looked at the blood. He even smiled and said, when you want beautiful things, you ought to get hurt. "Catherine was worried about his wound more
Jared just got out of the building he hates the most. He got into his car and sighed heavily. It always ends like this whenever it comes to this matter. There was no way he could tell anyone about it for now. His family can be overdramatic when it comes to how he is feeling. Plus he is the heir, there's no time to show weakness. From his pocket, he took out his phone and dialed Levius. As always the man picks up fast on the second ring. "Greetings, young master." No matter how much Jared tells Levius to stop calling him that, the man would always addresses him to show respect. Although Levius can be too formal, Jared does treat him as his best friend most of the time. At first, they didn't really get along. Levius was like a robot, someone more protective than his guards but then, later on, he realizes how Levius was so loyal to him. From then on, Levius would know first about everything that's happening in his life. "Hey! I apologize that I'm calling again for another favor,"
Things have just gotten a little awkward for Jared and Rossie. During dinner and even after that, there was a gap between them both. It might not be obvious to others but Rossie could feel the tension between them.When it was bedtime, Jared even made his way to take one pillow and head to the couch. Now she stays in the huge bed alone surrounded by big pillows. She's used to sleeping alone. There was no problem with that, just not in a big bed like this.Rossie couldn't take it and she sits up, sheets rustling. She made her way to peek through the doorway to the couch. She sees the light from his Ipad reflected on his face. He is still awake, she thought. Should she go and make up with Jared? How was she supposed to do that?"I should've kept my mouth shut," she groans, going back to laying down. For an hour, she tossed and turn in the bed. They can't keep avoiding each other or it'll be damn crazy when they pretend in front of the family. Why was he so defensive when she just asked
After a good coffee, Ellisa decided to go shopping for herself. It was payday anyway so she wanted to reward herself with something to keep inspiring herself to do work. It's just a thing she does to keep herself motivated. It's been two days and Levius hasn't contacted her since the time they went for ramen. They ended nicely but the man never came back nor said anything. It shouldn't surprise her anymore, that's how most boys work. They make you feel special and they disappear the next day. It's a natural thing. They just didn't work out. As she was picking out dresses, Ellisa could hear some flirty voices on the next rack. She always hates it when couples get too loud and affectionate in public unless it was her with someone. It had her intrigued so she peeked. Her eyes widened, immediately hiding when she saw the man. When she realized shit, she wished she was just dreaming and peeked again. But this time, it confirmed it all. She took out her phone and took a picture of Jake w
After they choose some dresses, they had to bid Danish goodbye. They still have the makeover that Veronica and Catherine planned but first they had to meet with a party coordinator. It already took them hours just by picking dresses. "Too bad Danielle can't come, Lily has been wanting to meet him again," Veronica mentions. Lily? Who is she? It seems as though Veronica heard Rossie and she added, "Lily is a friend. She is the only daughter of a partnered company, the Adlers."Rossie nodded. "Jared and Lily used to be close together. She used to come around," Keille spoke, her eyes remaining on her phone. "They are still friends." "What happened?" She could not stop herself and asked. It seems to her that Veronica wanted her to ask that question."Don't know," Keille shrugged. "Jared never told you?""No," she muttered. "Oh, don't worry yourself, darling! Jared and Lily were just childhood friends if you look into it," Catherine assures her. Even though that was the case, she still
