Chapter 37


    Wayne hugged Rosalynn, and there was actually an enormous sense of happiness.


    “President Silverman,” Rosalynn hesitated for a moment, not resisting, because she was genuinely


    tired.


    “Mmm…” Wayne buried his head in her neck and answered.


    Rosalynn’s heart seemed to be torn apart by something bit by bit.


    “I’m tired, I just want to live a peaceful, ordinary life…leave me alone.”


    Without any hysterics or angry roars, she just calmly requested.


    Wayne subconsciously tightened his hand around Rosalynn’s waist.


    “I’m not Ms. Walley,” Rosalynn continued, “All the things you like about me, they’re just a show I put on,


    but I’m tired…I don’t want to be Olivia’s substitute anymore, I just want to be myself.”


    “Don’t talk anymore. You wanted to rest, right?”


    Wayne freed a hand and gently covered Rosalynn’s mouth. “Sleep now.”


    Rosalynn couldn’t understand what Wayne was thinking.


    He didn’t love her and he had a new substitute, why did he still cling to her?


    Because she used to be too good at her job?


    Rosalynn mockingly thought.


    She let her thoughts run wild and then fell into a deep slumber.


    Maybe it was the death threat at noon that really scared her. After falling asleep, Rosalynn


    had nightmares.


    Well, not nightmares per se.

    In her dream, she returned to the day of her grandma’s funeral.


    A few neighbors came to her house that day.


    She wore a ck dress with a small white flower pinned to her hair.


    After her grandma died, she didn’t feel much. She didn’t even cry.


    All those years, her grandma was continuously tormented by illness.


    A lot of money was spent, but it only prolonged her grandma’s suffering.


    She thought her grandma was finally relieved.


    But when her grandma was about to be buried in the ground, the sudden feeling of parting


    overwhelmed her like andslide.


    She was so scared that she wanted to snatch her grandma back.


    Neighbors cried as they held her, and she knelt outside, overwhelmed by a huge sense of fear and


    helplessness.


    “Grandma…”


    “Grandma…”


    “Grandma!”


    Rosalynn screamed and cried.


    “Rosa…” The familiar yet strange voice came to her ear.


    Rosalynn’s eyes suddenly opened wide.


    “Did you have a nightmare?” Wayne’s face slowly came into focus in front of her eyes.


    Rosalynn’s breathing hadn’t calmed down yet; she gasped for air.


    Her unfocused gaze slowly gathered.


    “Are you alright?” Wayne looked worried and his fingertips gently wiped away the tears. from the corner


    of her eyes.


    Rosalynn looked away and shook her head: “I’m fine.”


    Wayne wanted to say something, but the doorbell rang.


    Rosalynn pushed Wayne, “Make some room.”


    Wayne wouldn’t budge but pushed her back instead, “Who is it? Your boyfriend?”


    Rosalynn was speechless.


    The doorbell was still ringing, annoying everyone.


    “Wayne, shh…”


    Before Rosalynn could get angry, Wayne lowered his head and bit her neck.


    -“Are you nuts?” Rosalynn pushed him away, and this time he was easily pushed away.


    “Go answer the door.”


    “Freak!” Rosalynn flipped her hair down to cover her bitten neck with her long hair, got out of bed from


    the other side, and opened the door.
