Chapter 1806

Rose was taken aback, staring at Morrison for a long while. Her mouth opened and closed, utterly at a loss for words.

She replayed his words over in her mind dozens of times, but the answer eluded her. So did Morrison actually like her or not?

“Dislike her and still fancy her? Men.”

Men were all the same Morrison was no exception.

“Wife show–off flirting. “c2

Eventually, he just blurted out the words one by one. Rose could string them together, but she was flaunting flirting?

In her current state, she must have been at her most unglamorous ever Pregnant with a protruding belly, devoid of any curves to speak of her face was mostly bare except for minimal makeup for work. At home, she never bothered much with her appearance.

Lately, she’d been as natural as can be, just doing whatever felt comfortable. Compared to her past self, even her school days, she didn’t stand a chance What was there to flaunt or flirt about in front of him now?

But the word “wife” in his mouth still caught her attention

She pursed her lips and burrowed her head back into Morrison’s chest. Considering he still knew she was his wife, she decided not to hold it against him today

Not that she could, even if she wanted to. He was so groggy right now, he probably had no idea what he had said earlier. She regretted not recording it to play back to him the next day, just to see his expression.

Drowsiness overtook her, and she yawned, snuggling into Morrison’s embrace and closing her eyes.

If there was one skill she’d honed during pregnancy, it was controlling her emotions, adjusting her mindset to not let anything get to her

Morrison said he disliked her, but he also said he liked her. She’d just go with the latter. It made her happier.

The next morning Rose woke up early

Morrison was still asleep. She carefully extracted herself from his arms, but the next second, she was enveloped in a tight embrace from behind “Go back to sleep

Rose stiffened. “I I need to go home for a bit. You need breakfast. I’ll make some oatmeal for you.”

Morrison’s brow creased, still with his eyes closed “Call the assistant to bring it over.”

“That won’t do Store–bought gruel won’t be good for you. Go back to sleep.”

He refused to let go

“Morrison Rose urged him gently but firmly.

Finally Morrison suddenly tossed the covers off.

Morrison looked at her, his face grew pale, showing signs of sickness, but his grip didn’t loosen. “Rose” His voice was weaker than before

Do you know why I’m in the hospital right now?

Rose pressed her lips together, “Acute gastritis.”

Morrison took a shallow breath, “And who caused it?”

Without hesitation, Rose replied: “You”

Taking a deep breath, Momson suddenly clutched his stomach, agitated. “It was you who caused it!”
