Chapter 44 She Lucked Out

Author: Rosie Steppe
Eric quickly shot back, "Oh, and you get to blame me all you want?"

His deep voice sounded aggrieved, leaving Rosalyn at a loss for words.

Was he a drama queen? He certainly knew how to make a fuss!

Clink! Clink!

Eric tapped his clean fingers on the plate before him, gesturing at the many crayfish he had peeled. "I've peeled plenty of crayfish in my lifetime, but you're the only one who gets to eat it aside from me."

Was he trying to defend himself? But why?

Rosalyn had no idea what he was getting at and simply replied, "I guess I lucked out."

"You certainly did when you married me."

He really could boast without feeling bashful at all.

Even if Rosalyn couldn't read Eric's mind, he did tell her why he married her.

Still, she said, "Mr. Hammond, if all you really want is to destroy a woman like me, it's far easier than setting up such an elaborate scheme."

And with those words, she stood up and left the restaurant.

As it turned out, the nights in Celdona were very cold, and

    Rosalyn bathed Julia and dried her hair."Grandma, I saw him," Rosalyn said, knowing Julia hadn't asked because she was waiting for Rosalyn to bring it up.Julia understood perfectly that if Rosalyn didn't say anything, it meant she didn't want her to know."Are you disappointed?" Julia asked. She truly understood everything. If Rosalyn had been pleased, she would've brought Zayne back.Rosalyn smiled. "Grandma, how are you able to see through everything?"Julia chuckled softly. "It's fine. What he's like doesn't concern us. Just tell me. I'll listen."Rosalyn couldn't find the words to describe Zayne. After all, Julia's most cherished daughter loved only him, even to the very end."He's married." Rosalyn kept it short.Julia's expression stiffened. Zayne being married meant he had betrayed her daughter's deep feelings."That's not unexpected. I can understand it," Julia murmured after a moment.She could understand it, but it still hurt.Rosalyn's heart ached a little. She

  • Marrying Without You   Chapter 267 She Committed Another Sin

    When Eric saw Laura, she was drenched in sweat. Water dripped from the tips of her hair, and bruises mottled the skin exposed beneath her clothes.She looked pitiful enough to break anyone's heart.Peter glanced at the caregiver. "Why wasn't she taken to change first? She'll catch a cold like this. Her immune system is already weak. What happens if she gets sick?"The caregiver lowered her head. "Ms. Layton insisted on coming over first."Laura immediately nodded and shook her head at Peter, signaling him not to blame anyone else."Wipe her sweat off first, then put something warm over her," Peter said. He met Eric's gaze but offered no explanation. He only added, "Mr. Hammond, I need to get back to work."In the lounge, Laura sat wrapped in a sports blanket. She lifted her gaze timidly to Eric.Eric didn't speak. They stared at each other in silence until Laura finally dropped her gaze. Her fingers twisted the hem of her clothes."You don't need to put on this fragile act," Er

  • Marrying Without You   Chapter 266 Making the Most of Those Long Legs

    Rosalyn and Eric flew back to the country together. To keep her from being harassed, they went through the VIP lane, but some fearless reporters still blocked their way."Mr. Hammond, what do you think about Mrs. Hammond's leaked photos?""Mr. Hammond, does this affect how you feel about Mrs. Hammond?""Mrs. Hammond, any comment on the leak? Who took those photos?""Mrs. Hammond, was your personal life messy seven years ago?"Thump.The reporter asking that last question was sent flying with a single kick. Eric's long, perfectly proportioned legs weren't just for show—they were put to good use.That kick made the reporters fall silent immediately.Eric scanned the crowd and spoke coldly to Chase who was there to pick them up. "Get clear photos of their faces. I don't ever want to see them again."It was a full-on blacklisting.The reporters turned pale when they heard Eric's order. "Mr. Hammond—"Chase's tone was equally cold. "Do you want to lose your voice too?"Everyone

    They exchanged glances. Neither said anything, yet both understood each other perfectly well.Something had clearly happened. Otherwise, they wouldn't have received calls at the same time in the middle of the night.Not wanting to interfere with Rosalyn's call, Eric stepped out onto the balcony. Rosalyn answered the call. "Wendy."On the balcony, Eric's expression darkened as he listened. It grew heavier by the second."Eric, are you listening?" Sean finished speaking but got no response, so he prompted him."Yeah.""The photos and videos are very clear. I've sent them to you. The internet is blowing up fast. Someone clearly bought traffic, and they want to make this as big as possible." Sean laid out his judgment.Ever since Sean mentioned what happened, Eric had been watching Rosalyn through the floor-to-ceiling glass. Her expression barely changed, but he knew she must have already heard about it from Wendy.Her calmness was almost unbelievable, and it made his chest ache.

    "Eric, you should change your name to Copperhead. That move was evil."Luke hadn't gone inside Zayne's estate. With Jim involved, he knew that he'd get skinned alive when he got home if he stepped through that door. Still, all the things Eric had ordered delivered earlier were sourced by him."Evil? I almost had a heart attack with what he did. What I did was already merciful." Eric scoffed unapologetically.Luke glanced at him. "It's rare that you're actually afraid of something."He then added, "I've had people prepare another house. You and Rosalyn can move there.""Probably won't be staying," Eric said before glancing at the sky. It was already getting bright.Luke paused. "Why? Are you heading back?""This place is turning into a dog-eat-dog world. I don't want to get caught in the crossfire," Eric said vaguely.Luke narrowed his eyes. "Eric, you're the most dangerous one here."As their car drove off, inside the villa, Zayne looked at the snakes slithering everywhere. Th

  • Marrying Without You   Chapter 263 She Wouldn't Suffer for Nothing

    In the middle of the night, Rosalyn was sound asleep.Eric slipped out quietly and glanced at the men Luke had brought with him. "I want airtight security. No one gets in.""Rest assured, Mr. Hammond!" the two bodyguards replied in unison.Luke slung an arm around Eric's shoulder. "Don't you trust the people I brought?""It's exactly because I trusted them too much that this happened," Eric said. All the playfulness he showed Rosalyn was gone."This one's on me." Luke was clearly embarrassed.Pulling something like this on his friend was no different from slapping him in the face."Have they found him?" Eric asked as he got into the car. Dressed head to toe in black casual wear, he looked cold and enigmatic."We traced it through the kid's game console. That person has already confessed who was behind it," Luke said and paused. "Care to guess who?"Eric stared into the endless darkness. He already had his answer. "I'd like to hear how he plans to explain himself."When Zayne
