Rose lifted her eyes to meet his, her expression frosty. “Morrison, this event was

meant to end on a high note, and you just had to go and ruin it.”

Morrison pursed his lips awkwardly. “I didn’t think it through at the time.”

When Rose pushed against him, he held on tight. In the midst of the bustling

crowd, his hands pressed firmly on her waist, drawing her close into his

embrace.

Feeling his body against hers in such a public display made Rose’s ears burn

with embarrassment, but Morrison seemed oblivious to the impropriety, gazing

down at her intently. “Where were you just now? I went looking for you at the

press conference.”

Enter title…

Rose, with her arms braced against his chest, blushed even deeper under his

unwavering gaze. “Are you sure you weren’t there just to mess with me?”

“Am I really that much of a jerk? To go out of my way to mess things up for

you?”d2

Rose raised an eyebrow, meeting his stare. “You think pretty highly of yourself,

don’t you?”

Morrison nodded confidently. “Of course, how could you love me so much if I

wasn’t a good man? To honor your love, I must be worthy.”

With a sideways glance and a scoff, Rose remarked, “I didn’t realize until now

just how shameless you can be.”

Murmurs and gasps echoed from the onlookers.

Morrison’s dark eyes never left her. As everyone braced for his temper, he finally

spoke. “Then you’d better get used to it. I’m very shameless.”

Rose’s lips twitched. “Have you no shame at all?”

Morrison tilted his head with a grunt. “Shame won’t get my a kid.”

Everyone fell silent. Was this the same man they all feared? And what on earth

was going on? Wasn’t it said that this couple was incompatible? That since their

wedding, Mrs. Witt of R City had been subjected to his cold indifference, living

like a widow?

This wasn’t at all like the rumors.

Someone shifted their gaze to Mona, who was standing aside. At first, the

appearance of Morrison’s ex-girlfriend seemed like a delightful surprise for the

birthday boy, and perhaps the two would finally make up. But now, it appeared
