Chapter 1102


    After a leisurely chat with her granddaughter, Hria felt a slight relief from her burden, and exhaustion


    soon followed.


    Rosalyn guided her back to her room and stretched in the living room. Seeing the family portrait on the


    wall stirred mixed feelings in her.


    She walked over, picked up the frame, and gently traced the smiling faces with her fingers. It was quite


    amazing that apart from her, Cory, Ivy, and Hria, none of them were biologically rted, yet their


    bond was stronger than any blood rtion.


    The sound of a car engine came from outside, and Rosalyn, looking at the time, guessed it must be


    Wayne returning home. ncing at the photo in her hand, she wondered if it was time for a new one.


    The front door opened, and as Rosalyn looked, Wayne caught sight of her and walked over with a


    gentle smile, pulling her into his arms without a word.


    “Finished?” Rosalyn asked.


    “Not yet.” Wayne shook his head. “I’ll continue tomorrow.”


    “I told you not toe back if it got toote. It takes over an hour to drive back and forth.” Rosalyn said


    helplessly.


    “No way.” Wayne nuzzled into Rosalyn’s neck. “I can’t sleep without you next to me. How can I deal


    with things tomorrow if I don’t get a good night’s sleep?”


    “Don’t make excuses. You’ve been without me plenty of times.” Rosalyn pped him lightly and said,


    “You’re holding too tight. Loosen up.”


    “That was in the past. It’s not going to happen anymore.” Wayne spoke confidently. “And besides, Mrs.


    Silverman said not toe back, but here you are, still up. Weren’t you waiting for me?”


    Rosalyn: “…”


    Truth be told, in the past few months, Wayne has been like a shadow, always following her around. She


    was actually getting used to it.


    “Don’t get cocky.” Rosalyn pped him again. “It’ste. Go take a shower and try to get some sleep.”


    “Okay, together!”


    “What?”


    Before Rosalyn could react, Wayne had scooped her up in his arms and was striding toward the stairs.


    “Wayne put me down!”


    With so many people in the house and Jaime, the night owl, if someone saw them in this awkward


    state, she’d want to crawl into a hole.

    Of course, Wayne didn’t put her down. It was past two in the morning by the time they had finished


    their pleasurable shower. Wayne, full of energy, even helped her dry her hair.


    “Be more careful outside the bedroom from now on!” Rosalyn warned him sternly after a moment:


    Wayne grumbled. It was better back when they were living in the apartment, just the two of them, free


    to do as they pleased.


    But Wayne dared not voice this thought, fearing his wife might grow tired of him and be distant


    because of past incidents.
