The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1812

The door creaked open, and all eyes turned to the source of the unexpected knock

“Excuse me, is this Mr Morrison’s residence? A woman’s voice floated in tentatively

Amid the hush of the room, the woman at the threshold hesitated, her gaze finally settling on the cluster of people inside. She seemed taken aback by the crowd, her eyes betraying a flicker of surprise

At the sight of Mona, a chill swept through Roses heart, colder than anything she’d felt before. Even with the recent vows they had exchanged, Morrisons indifference toward her had never stung as sharply as it did now c2

Of all the times, of all the places, Mona should not have appeared here, in the home she shared with Morrison

Momson’s brow furrowed at the sight of Mona His tone though still strained was noticeably softer than before

“What brings you here?” he asked his voice laced with a hint of restraint

Caught in an awkward moment, Mona stepped inside, hesitating Theard you were ill and hospitalized last night, and when I went to the hospital today, they said you had been discharged. So I came to see how you were doing I was worried.

Rose stood firm, refusing to show weakness before Mona. Her pride wouldn’t allow it. She might accept defeat in her private moments, but she would never let Mona see

her crumble

How did Mona know where she and Momson lived? Unless Monson had told her But why would he? They had never discussed their home address in such detail

Trying to keep her composure, Rose closed her eyes briefly convincing herself that Momson had no reason to share such information with Mona Winston, who’d been quietly observing let out a derisive snort, pulling Rose back to the painful reality.

All her anger at Momson, all her feelings for him seemed to wither in that instant. What was she holding on to?

Mona had a stronghold in Momson’s heart–Rose knew that She had told herself to try, to persist, to love Manson more openly, believing that her earnest affections would eventually yield even the smallest of reciprocations.

For a moment, she had thought they were on the right track. Living under the same roof, they could be like any other couple–a world of their own, intimate and unguarded.

But then Morrison had casually insinuated something unspeakable between her and Winston. How could she not care? How could she not feel reduced to nothing?

Would he have said such things if Mona were in her place? Rose doubted it

She took a deep breath and, as she exhaled her eyes met Morrisons–empty, devoid of sorrow, joy, or anger, and yet brimming with indescribable emotions

As she opened her mouth to speak, Winston’s hand found hers “You need to calm down Come with me”

Confused, she looked at him, but Winston was already guiding her towards the door

Morrison’s eyes darkened, his hand reaching out for Rose, but Winston intercepted.
