The Secret Heir Return To Wealth And Love

"Raking up the past, huh?" Rosalynn mumbled, struggling to keep her heavy eyelids open.

Wayne wrapped his arms around her, nuzzling into the nape of her neck. "Sweetheart, you're being so harsh, not even coming to see me."Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"I did see you," Rosalynn replied, aware that Wayne was just restless and seeking attention, but she answered patiently nonetheless.

"You saw me, but didn't let me see you..."

"If I wasn't tough, who knows how long I would have had to wait for you to come back." Rosalynn gently caressed Wayne's cheek. "Honey, let's talk about this tomorrow, I'm too sleepy right now." Wayne loved it when Rosalynn called him honey. Just hearing it made his heart feel all warm and fuzzy.d2

"Alright," Wayne conceded softly.

Before long, Wayne listened to Rosalynn's breathing steady in his arms, signaling she had fallen asleep.

Truth be told, Wayne had been a bit anxious since leaving the hospital.

He was worried Rosalynn might be afraid of him.

After all, she knew the details of how Betsy had died.

So, having Rosalynn sleep peacefully in his arms now allowed Wayne's guarded heart to slowly settle back down. But he couldn't fall asleep.

Every now and then, Wayne would plant a soft kiss on Rosalynn. After several back-and-forth like this, he too drifted off to sleep.

The next day, they both indulged in the luxury of sleeping in until past ten.

Then they got up together, squeezed into the cozy bathroom to freshen up, skipped breakfast at home, and headed to Rosalynn's once-favorite brunch spot.

After a hearty meal, they went to the supermarket together, picking up some fresh fruits and ingredients.

When they got back home, they had planned to watch a movie.

Rosalynn had specifically chosen a couple of thrilling sci-fi movies.

But the movie had barely started for twenty minutes when the pair, caught up in the heat of the moment, found themselves tangled in each other's arms, oblivious to when the film ended. The fresh ingredients they bought remained untouched as, due to this little detour, they ended up ordering takeout for dinner.

After dinner, before going for a walk, Rosalynn video-chatted with Ivy and Cory for a while.

The little ones, who used to cry for two days straight when away from their mommy, had changed remarkably.

Over the past few days, Ivy had packed her schedule full.

She not only finished her unfinished paintings but also took Max to get a bath and a vet check-up, even helping Uncle Calvin note down the growth progress of this year's garden crops. In short, she was incredibly busy.

In comparison, Cory's activities were much simpler. He had been studying for two days.

After hanging up the video call, Rosalynn turned to Wayne, "It looks like we can plan for a longer couple's time in the future. Ivy and Cory don't seem as clingy as I thought." Rosalynn pressed her lips together, a hint of melancholy in her expression.

The kids growing less dependent on her was bittersweet.

It was just the beginning, after all.

"But, I think maybe it's me who can't live without them," Rosalynn's eyes brimmed with tears.

Wayne held her close, gently kissing her cheek and soothing her with a warm voice, "It's okay. I'll depend on you for a lifetime, and I'll make sure you can depend on me too." Rosalynn looked up at him.

Their gazes locked for a moment before they shared a tender, lingering kiss.
