บททั้งหมดของ Marrying Without You: บทที่ 61 - บทที่ 70

Eric reclined against his seat, still as languid as ever as he asked, "Why are you alone? Where's my sister-in-law?"That demeanor was hardly suited in the luxury restaurant they were in. It was especially a stark contrast to Zac, who sat upright with his hands neatly placed on the table—left hand on top, right hand bottom. "She's not here, and you know that," he replied.Eric raised an eyebrow. "Right. I mean, I was worried her husband doesn't even know where she is."Rosalyn was left glancing sideways at Zac. Although his expression remained calm, there was a noticeable crease between his brows.Wasn't that question… a little too insulting?And she was here too. How could Eric be so tactless, even if Zac was his brother?Still, Zac shrugged and tried to clear the awkwardness. "Please spare me the blushes in front of my sister-in-law."Even Rosalyn felt a little embarrassed, and she nudged Eric with her foot under the table. He turned toward her, his dark eyes a vortex that

The question was asked softly, but there was something insistent in Eric's tone.Still, it was clear that the night left him grouchy—not because Rosalyn praised Zac, but since the moment he saw Zac.Still, she nodded readily. "Sure."With him as he was now, the more she tried to refuse, the more insistent he'd be, so she might as well just play along.However, despite agreeing to it, Rosalyn raised her hand and pushed him aside.But before she could straighten herself, he pressed himself against her shoulder and growled under his breath, "Stop talking."Still, she watched as he closed his eyes and presumed he just wanted some quietness.When she noticed his full weight pressing over his shoulder, she realized he had actually fallen asleep.Honestly, did he always have to lean on someone else's shoulder to fall asleep? Was he that insecure?Despite the uncomfortable weight on her shoulder, Rosalyn didn't move and glanced sideways at Eric just then.The bridge of his nose was q

"Over here, Mrs. Hammond."Rosalyn felt her breath stopping as the doctor opened the door for her, and she didn't move, instead standing at the doorway and looking inside.The large bed at the center really stood out, and from where she stood, she could see someone laying in it, but their face was obscured.She didn't even know if it was really Laura, whom she hadn't seen in seven years.But although she yearned to see Laura again over the years, she suddenly felt terrified now that Laura was right there in front of her.And she couldn't even begin to describe what she was afraid of.The doctor stood respectfully nearby, not rushing her and patiently waiting.It was after almost a minute that Rosalyn took a deep breath and turned toward him instead of entering the room. "Is there anything I should be aware of?""No, ma'am." The doctor smiled, at once polite and patient. "You can just pretend that she's asleep. Speak your mind if you like, or just hold her hand—physical contact

While Eric sat outside, the fact that he knew what happened inside Laura's room made it obvious that Rosalyn was being watched.He probably didn't trust her and was worried she would hurt Laura.Still, he proved to be a man of integrity and didn't go out of his way to hide it, so Rosalyn didn't find that uncomfortable.After all, she had known his reason for marrying her all along."It's a little secret between us," Rosalyn eventually replied, but it was the same as not giving him an answer.A very big smile seemed to appear on Eric's gorgeous gaze.She really was loosening up around him and becoming more of a tease."Well, at least your little secret is working," he said in amusement.Since Rosalyn didn't tell him at the outset, she was not about to tell him now.Instead, she asked bluntly, "So, you're agreeing to let me stay?"Although Eric's intentions were obvious, she somehow couldn't be sure he would let her stay.Not only did he have a bag full of clever tricks, but h

The meaning behind the question was very clear.Eric didn't play coy for once and nodded. "What about you?"Even if it wasn't shown on the surface, worries might always linger in the spirit.Rosalyn finally understood that he wanted to get to the bottom of the matter that was her WhatsApp, and she couldn't hide anything from him now.Now, there was no reason to hide it, just as it was better for the both of them to talk openly about it going into the future.Otherwise, that missent text would always weigh on her mind."Don't bother with the mind games. Just ask whatever you want to," she said.That was when the car pulled into one of the quiet lanes leading to Eric's house. With just the occasional streetlights and none of the city's glow, the interior of the car felt darker, and suddenly, the vibes in the car seemed gloomy."What, is there something embarrassing in your WhatsApp account?" Eric then asked.Rosalyn suddenly felt exhausted just talking to him—it was like slitt
