The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1820

Morrison frowned, “Then why was your phone off?”

“Was it?” she said, fishing out her cellphone to check. She hadn’t turned it on since shutting it down the previous night. “Well, must’ve died. You know, I was at the hospital all day and didn’t get a chance to charge it.”

Morrison stared at her for a long moment before letting out a short, mocking laugh.

“Rose, you managed to text the caregiver but couldn’t drop me a line? You really think I’d buy that?”

Rose forced a smile and calmly poured him a bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup, “Here, this soup is really good. Try some “c2

The hospital room fell into a strange and eerie silence for a moment. Doctors, nurses, and aides all shuddered in unison, exchanging glances before tactfully making their way out of the room.

Rose kept her faint smile, seemingly oblivious to the storm brewing in Morrison.

But how could she not know? She was keenly aware of every word and expression of his. She used to care, but what did it matter now?

“Don’t want any? It’s actually quite tasty.”

Morrison felt a surge of irritation at her dismissive attitude, stepping closer and looking down at her with a daunting gaze. “You’re dodging the

Rose tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and stepped back to meet his eyes, “If you’ve already got your answer, why bother making me say it

out loud?”

His jaw clenched, and he almost reflexively grabbed her wrist.

“You…” He opened his mouth to speak but found himself at a loss for words.

So she had turned off her phone on purpose. Was this some kind of game against him?

Rose glanced down at his grip on her wrist, “Looks like you’re feeling quite alright.”

Morrison narrowed his eyes, taking in her smiling face so close to his. That smile in her eyes was as cold as ice. It wasn’t the way she used to look at him.

“Rose, what are you really thinking?”

Rose pressed her lips together and gently withdrew her hand from his grasp. Tll check with the doctor about your recovery and see if you’re ready to be discharged”

As she walked away, her expression remained indifferent.

This familiar view made Morrison’s heart lurch, and he reached out, pulling her into his embrace. “Rose, what the hell are you trying to do?! Can you stop being so damn sarcastic?!” His voice was frantic, his patience worn thin.

Rather than responding to his roar, Rose’s eyes simply trembled as she looked up at him. “I just wanted to make sure you were okay. If you need to be discharged, then there’s no point in staying here.”

But Morrison wasn’t buying it, almost blurting out, “And then what?!”

“And then?” Rose replied, her voice cool as she met his heated gaze, “Then we should proceed with the divorce”

Her words sent a tremor through Morrison’s heart, and he abruptly let go of her.

After staring at her for a moment, he walked over to the bed, turning his back on her When he faced her again, his eyes were dark with anger “I’ve said it before, divorce is out of the question.”

“I

Morrison cut her off sharply

Rose’s hands were limp at her sides. She nodded softly after a moment of silence I understand.

The outcome remained the same So, she meant that any reason would do, as long as they could get divorced?

Morrison scoffed. “Cant you understand? Divorce is never going to happen in this bletime”

Rose met his gaze steadily. “Why bother, Morrison? I admit my initial decision was wrong but it’s not too late to correct it. Have you considered that by dragging this out, you’re making Mona wait? Don’t ruin three lives in one go”

“And whose fault is that?”

Rose took a deep breath, “Morrison, constantly bringing up that one mistake to shut me down, don’t you think you’re being a bit unreasonab
