Chapter 973


    The next morning, Rosalynn woke up sweaty. It wasn’t that the weather was unbearably hot, but


    Wayne had sneaked into her room at some point and wrapped her up in his arms from behind.


    Since the time Cory and Ivy ceased sharing a bed with her, she had refrained from locking her door at


    night, dreading that the children might awaken and not find their mother. This inadvertently facilitated


    Wayne’s ease of entry and departure.


    Just as Rosalynn was about to leave Wayne’s embrace, he woke up, and without a word, pulled her


    back in.


    “It’s so hot!” Rosalynn elbowed him a little.


    Wayne grunted in response, then let go of Rosalynn and got up. She was surprised at how obedient he


    was being today.


    But then Wayne turned on the air conditioning,y back down, and used his arms and legs to pull her


    back into his arms. Rosalynn:”


    “Let go of me!” Rosalynn elbowed Wayne again. “I need to get up.”


    “It’s only a little after six… Let’s sleep a bit more!” Wayne wouldn’t let go, nuzzling his nose against


    Rosalynn’s neck.


    “Xenia… Steven’s mom…. is going to the hospital for a check-up today. I need to go see her,”


    Rosalynn said, her palm on Wayne’s face. “Why not let someone else handle it? I don’t want my wife to


    be so tired,” Wayne said, not wanting to let her go.


    “No can do!”


    Wayne seemed helpless.


    “Anyway, you can put everyone, even someone you barely know like Xenia, ahead of me!” He finally let


    her go after saying that.


    Rosalynn sat up and saw him turn away from her, his back facing her. She found it amusing and lightly


    poked Wayne’s back, saying, “President Silverman, I don’t mean to be rude, but don’t you think you’ve


    been acting like a little womantely?”


    Wayne ignored her.


    Rosalynn didn’t try to cheer him up, instead she got up, put on her slippers, went to the wardrobe to


    change, and then went to wash up.


    As she was about to leave the bathroom, Wayne came over.


    “Not sleeping anymore?” Rosalynn asked.


    Wayne didn’t answer. As Rosalynn walked out, Wayne’s arm circled her waist and ced her on the


    bathroom counter. “Way… mm…”


    Before Rosalynn could say anything, Wayne sealed her mouth with a kiss. asionally, he would


    gently bite her lips.


    Wayne released his hold on Rosalynn after their prolonged kiss, yet he maintained his grip on her


    waist. Gazing into her eyes, he tenderly nted a few more gentle kisses upon her lips.


    “We promised Cory and Ivy that we’d go buy camping stuff together today. Thought you coulde


    too,” he said softly, clearly disappointed. “When are you going?” Rosalynn asked.


    “We nned to go after Ivy walks the dog.” Wayne replied.


    “Let’s change it to the afternoon, and I’ll go with you guys,” Rosalynn agreed readily.


    “How about we pick you up, have lunch together, and then go shopping?”

    “I’ll let you know when I get to the hospital,” Rosalynn said, leaving her options open.
