บททั้งหมดของ Marrying Without You: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Rosalyn slept so soundly that the skies were bright by the time she opened her eyes.Yesterday had left her really exhausted, and she didn't sleep much before her wedding too. Still, considering that it was the first day since she married into the Hammond family, she decided that sleeping in was poor form.As she hastily got up, a voice called out languidly as soon as she moved, "You can sleep in."Rosalyn tensed up immediately—Eric was still in bed?She took a deep breath but eventually moved. "That won't do when the sun is already up."She suddenly felt a tightness as his bare arms wrapped around her waist, and her whole body felt like it was burning even with the blanket between them.As she finally stayed still, she heard his voice closer this time. "It's worse if you wake too early."She was keeping her back to him, but it felt like they were even more distant now.Quietly closing her eyes, she said, "Your parents will complain—""They'll complain more if we wake up ear

Suddenly, Rosalyn asked, "I'm curious, but when did we add each other on WhatsApp again?"She could admit to herself she had missed that text, but it still wouldn't have reached him if he hadn't been in her contact list.And she honestly couldn't remember when they had added each other.Eric kept his eyes on her, the warm glow of the sun casting a shadow over half his face, illuminating the rest.It was like a reminder that every man had two sides.Tapping his slender fingers on the steering wheel, he eventually asked, "You're asking me? I was going to ask you that myself."Rosalyn was taken aback—he didn't know either?"I don't know. I never added you," she said, dead certain.They had never met—even if he had helped her out before on an altruistic whim, he simply nodded and left after she thanked him.She didn't even have his phone number, so how could they be mutual contacts on WhatsApp?In fact, who on earth still stuck to WhatsApp these days? All her contacts must've bee

Rosalyn was holding a box that Julia took out of her storage chest, and Julia's voice cracked as she said, "Your mother left this behind for over twenty years… Or to be precise, your father left it for her."Her voice cracked whenever she spoke of her daughter, as losing her daughter early was the most painful moment of her life.The tiny box felt so heavy as it weighed down on Rosalyn's palm.She didn't have the courage to open it, and Julia had to encourage her. "Go on, open it."Seeing how sad she was, Rosalyn suddenly withdrew her hands. "It's alright, Grandma. I don't have to know."Julia smiled. "Come on, silly. Who wouldn't want to know who they are? You were crying back when you asked as a child, and I'm fine—at my age, anyone would come around. And these will eventually be your anyway, and the truth must be told. I can't just take everything to my grave, can I?""Grandma…" Rosalyn sighed.Julia took her hands and guided her to open the box, and Rosalyn sighed as she did

Rosalyn quickly combed through her files but didn't find the one Harry was asking for.But she remembered that she had arranged everything, and it was definitely in a folder here.As she was puzzled that she couldn't find it, she eventually asked Harry, "Did anyone else touch the files here aside from me?"He looked away evasively. "Just me… No one else.""And you're sure you can't find it?" Rosalyn stared at him, her crystalline gaze menacing.Even if she was affable at work, it didn't mean she lacked authority.However, Harry kept avoiding her gaze until the door opened, and Carl entered.As Harry left as soon as he saw Carl, she knew why she couldn't find the folder—it was Carl's cheap trick to lure her there.Leaning one palm on the table, she put everything in place again and headed for the door."Rosie."He reached out to her but missed as she immediately avoided his touch.Seeing the distance between them and her cool visage left Carl grimacing in pain. "I'm sorry I h

Rosalyn stared at Eric's pronounced facial features.If there was a golden standard to good looks, this face would be it.He was rich, handsome, and from a wealthy family.He could have any woman he wanted, but he married her just because she asked him to.She was confused as soon as she saw him yesterday.But now, she had the answer.Still, she was not about to buy anyone's one-sided testimony, nor did she want to speculate.She simply waited until she and Eric stepped out of Grant Tower before she asked Eric bluntly, "How is Laura now?"There wasn't even a flicker of surprise on Eric's handsome face. "He told you?"Rosalyn paused even as a breeze billowed in the air. "And now I want to hear what you have to say."As her hair and shawl floated in the air, she hastily tightened it around her neck, unlike the pretty knot Julia had made for her.Eric reached out to touch her shawl, but she didn't move, even though she did avoid Carl's touch.After all, Carl had no business to
