Chapter 31 You Can Sleep In

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

Chapter 32 Already Asking About Children

All the Hammonds were present when Rosalyn and Eric both got downstairs.Still, there were just too many faces at the wedding yesterday, and she couldn't recognize most of them, so she was introduced to everyone once again.It did not escape her notice that everyone was staring at her neck, and she realized just then why Eric had done it—it was to announce that last night had been productive.Everyone already had breakfast aside from her and Eric too, and they had saved some for the couple.The food was scrumptious, and there were over a dozen different dishes ranging from toast to sweets.While both she and Eric had their own portions, the only difference was that the maid had brought her a bowl and explained. "This soup was made especially for you, ma'am."Rosalyn was about to thank the maid when Eric looked up at the couch. "Already?"What?That was when Rosalyn noticed the medicinal scent of the herb, while Eric's grandmother spoke from the couch. "Of course—I'd like to see

Chapter 33 Visiting His Forebears

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

Chapter 34 Your Roots

As he returned, Eric was carrying a bag, which he quickly threw to the backseat, so Rosalyn couldn't see what it was.He glanced pointedly at Rosalyn's neck and started the car.-"Thanks." The shawl around her neck really matched her clothes, and most importantly, it hid the hickey on her neck.Eric shrugged. "That's unnecessary. I know enough to clean up my own mess."It'd be a waste if she said no, and like he said, it was his mess, and he should do that much for her.That was something strange about people—when they came around, they didn't feel embarrassed at all.With that, they were both silent as Eric drove to the nursing home, with Julia already waiting at the front door as they stopped.Just seeing that left tears welling up in Rosalyn's eyes.She never understood why women cried after marrying, but she did now. Even if her own marriage was a sham, things had fundamentally changed.She ran out of the car to hug Julia fiercely right then, as if they had last seen e

Chapter 35 Deceived

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

Chapter 36 Got Another Job Already?

Rosalyn felt as if her breath was caught in her lungs.She didn't answer the call, but her phone simply started ringing again after cutting off for a moment.This time, it was Carl's secretary, Harry Lyndon.They really didn't quit, did they?Still considering how anxious Harry was, Rosalyn turned to Eric and said, "I need to drop by the office."Despite his cool gaze, Eric's tone was nonchalant. "Got another job already?"Rosalyn was speechless.He was aware that she had resigned, so it made sense he would ask that, but Rosalyn could also hear the edge in his tone.Knowing how volatile he was, Rosalyn didn't bother to hold it against him. "No, it's from my previous company. Turns out there are things left with the handover of tasks, so I need to go back and deal with that."Eric nodded slightly. "Gotta finish what you started."Rosalyn could hear the ambiguity in his voice but didn't want to dwell on it.Still, before she left, Eric suddenly asked, "Shall I give you a ride?

Chapter 37 He Just Wants to Understand

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

Chapter 38 Worried That She'd Be Hurt

Rosalyn hadn't heard Laura's name for so long that it left her spacing out.But knowing that Carl had a reason to mention Laura out of the blue, Rosalyn decided that this must be the reason he lured her here. "What are you getting at?"Seeing her cheeks turn pale, Carl knew that the mere mention of the name must have hurt her.But there was no helping it—he was worried that she'd be hurt, and that was why he wanted her to stay with him."She's alive. She's still recuperating abroad," Carl said.After Sunny told him about Rosalyn's past, he investigated everything and realized that her self-isolation didn't stem from arrogance—it was paranoia from failed relationships.He read from past news articles about what had happened back then and came to realize how devastated she was. Even if she kept a lid on everything, she clearly didn't forget—she was just afraid to relive it.Still, that was reassuring enough for Rosalyn, and her dark gaze glowed.It was not as if she didn't try to

Chapter 39 Did You Get the Wrong Person

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

Chapter 40 I Want to Be Her Best Friend

"Carl!" Zoe called out, smiling faintly and striding toward them in an elegant dress and a fashionable bowler hat.She didn't seem to react despite clearly seeing Carl holding Rosalyn's hand, even giggling, "Oh, it's alright—I found our passports, so there's no need to trouble Ms. Jones… Oh, I mean, Mrs. Hammond. She's no longer your assistant now, silly."Then, staring straight at Eric, she continued, "Are you going abroad for your honeymoon, Mr. and Mrs. Hammond? What a coincidence—Carl and I are doing the same!"Carl quietly released Rosalyn right then, staring coolly at Zoe as she hugged his arm as if it was only natural—as if they were really in love."Carl and I are going to Celdona," she kept droning on just then. "Where are you going, Mr. and Mrs. Hammond?" Carl's cheek twitched as he narrowed his eyes coolly at Zoe.Eric was taking Rosalyn to Celdona, and she was dragging him there too? What was she up to?!This entire marriage was built on hatred.Zoe loved him, but
