Chapter 1824

Rose remained silent as Morrison casually wiped himself with a tissue from the

bedside table before rising to sift through the closet for a fresh set of clothes.

Crisp shirt, wool sweater, and a neatly tailored suit — everything was

meticulous.

Rose watched from the bed as he dressed, chuckling slightly before her eyes

slowly shut.

After Morrison closed the wardrobe, the room fell silent for a moment, followed

by the sound of the room door opening and closing again.

Enter title…

Rose’s eyes fluttered open, staring blankly at the ceiling, lost in thought.

Seconds later, she attempted to rise for a shower, but before she could even

throw back the covers, the door burst open.

Turning her head, she saw Morrison re-enter the room. Their eyes met, Rose

breaking the gaze first. “Why’d you come back?”

Stepping closer, Morrison grunted an acknowledgment. “Forgot something.”

He walked over to the nightstand, pulling out a box from the drawer and

shamelessly transferring its contents—bags of something—into his pockets.

Rose bit her lip hard, averting her gaze as her hands trembled slightly. Then she

heard footsteps approach, and before she could react, she was scooped up

from the bed.

Startled, she looked up to find Morrison setting her down at the edge of the bed.

“What are you doing?”

Morrison remained silent, turning around without a word, followed by a series of

movements.

Moments later, Rose was dressed in an oversized knit sweater, a baggy coat,

and loose trousers, all belonging to Morrison, who then carried her out the door.

Her brow furrowed, and she asked again, “What are you doing?”

“You’re a handful, always running off. Can’t have you disappearing on me

again.” Morrison spoke bluntly, wrapping her more tightly in his coat before

placing her in the car.

It wasn’t until Morrison himself got in that Rose spoke in a cold tone, “Why are

you dragging me along to see Mona?”

He glanced at her, a hint of a smile playing on his lips as he started the car.
