Chapter 1143


    Ever since Rosalynn realized Cory was a headstrong little boy, she quit micromanaging his life and


    learning style. She knew he had the chops to figure things out and solve problems on his ‘own. Too


    much meddling would only muddle his thought process.


    For instance, she knew Cory needed to hang out with other kids and get used to the noisy


    environment. After all, he just started school and there’ll be plenty more noisy situations down the line.


    But instead of forcing it, Rosalynn let Cory adapt and blend in on his own terms, which worked out way


    better than her pushing him.


    After a brief chat, Cory scampered back. Rosalynn was pleasantly surprised. The other kids didn’t force


    Cory into anything. Cory opened the car door and hopped into his car seat like a pro. Rosalynn and


    Wayne exchanged a nce and then burst intoughter.


    In the car, Rosalynn asked about the difficulty level of Cory’spetition. “Piece of cake,” Cory


    responded, “Honestly, we could go for something tougher next time.” Rosalynn gave him a thumbs up,


    then Cory went back to his iPad,pletely engrossed in whatever he was doing.


    The yellow leaves of autumn line both sides of the road, creating a gorgeous scene. Wayne turned to


    Rosalynn with love in his eyes. He felt guilty that he hadn’t seen her sooner.


    It waste when they finally returned to Moonlit Lake. Cory slept out in the car since he was so


    exhausted. Rosalynn was worried as Wayne carried him out. She touched Cory’s forehead and then


    his hands, concerned that he was too tired to feel well.


    Hria Jared was scheduled to pick up lvy from school today. Ivy wasn’t disappointed that her father


    didn’te. When she finally arrived home, she and Calvin immediately started to work on their


    greenhouse.


    “Why sote? Ivy’s about to doze off,” Hria whispered when she met them.

    “Thepetition ended around five,” Rosalynn answered, “Wayne, take Cory up to his room, then


    come down for dinner.”


    “Don’t we need to wake Cory?” Wayne asked. “No, let him sleep,” Rosalynn replied. Then Wayne went


    upstairs with Cory.


    When Rosalynn turned around after seeing them go, Hria was beaming. “What?” Asked Rosalynn.


    Nothing, I’m just d you two seem to be getting along. Hria said, “It makes my heart happy to be a


    grandma. To paraphrase: “As long as you’re happy and doing well, I can let go of the past.”


    Rosalynnughed gently at the thought.


    Hrina patted Rosalynn on the back, said, “Let’s eat, and then you can get some rest,” and yawned


    her way to her bed.


    Wayne eventually made his way down to the basement. He enquired, “Where’s grandma?” She stayed


    up waiting for us. Rosalynn said, extending her stiff neck after sitting for so long, “Now that we’re back,


    she’s gone to bed.”


    Wayne sauntered over, lightly kneading her neck,” I’ll give you a massage before bed.”


    Rosalynn looked up at him.


    Then, she raised her arms, wrapping them around him, and buried her head in his neck
