Chapter 1588


    That night, Rosalynn had a bad dream.


    She dreamt that Wayne was all caught up in a spider web, his limbs all wrapped up in white silk


    threads. The threads around his neck were particrly tough, and had even managed to cut him,


    staining the white silk red with his blood.


    He looked pale and vulnerable, his eyes red as he looked at her. His lips were moving as if he was


    saying something, but Rosalynn couldn’t hear him. She couldn’t hear anything at all.


    In her dream, all she did was call out his name.


    She wanted to get closer, to free him from the web, but a big ck spider blocked her path. No matter


    how hard she tried, the spider always pushed her back.

    She woke up with a start.


    Outside, dawn was just breaking.


    Instinctively, she turned to look at his side of the bed.


    Wayne was sleeping peacefully. She sighed in relief, then reached out to wrap her arms around his


    waist, cuddling up to him.


    Wayne was a light sleeper, and he woke up quickly.


    “What’s up?” He instinctively wrapped his arm around Rosalynn’s back, pulling her close.


    “Nothing… Rosalynn shook her head. “Just my internal clock ticking, I guess.”


    Wayne nced at the time.


    It was only 4:30 am.


    “Let’s cuddle a bit longer.” Wayne’s voice was soft as he pulled Rosalynnpletely into his arms,


    gently patting her back.


    Rosalynn’s frantic heart eventually calmed down.


    As long as he was by her side, neither the giant spider in her dream, nor anything else, could take him


    away from her.


    After a bit more sleep, Rosalynn woke up at six.


    Wayne was with her the whole time she was getting ready.


    Once she was done, she turned around, leaning against the sink, before reaching up to touch Wayne’s


    cheek. “I’m gonna drop Cory and Ivy at school, then head to the office. Jacob should be here around


    nine. You remember what you promised me yesterday, right?”


    Wayne nodded. “I remember.”


    “Good boy.”


    Rosalynn gave Wayne a quick peck.


    Then she headed downstairs.


    First, she dropped Cory off at school, leaving only Ivy in the car.


    Ivy seemed a bit distracted.


    “Baby, what’s wrong?” Rosalynn asked, patting Ivy’s head. “You still worried about Alison?”


    “Yes” Ivy nodded.


    “Don’t worry, I’m taking you to school today just to sort this out.” Rosalynn exined to Ivy


    Ivy’s eyes lit up at that


    But then, as if remembering something, her eyes dimmed again.


    “What if her mom is just like yesterday.”


    “Let the grown-ups worry about grown-up stuff, Ivy You don’t need to worry!” Rosalynn reassured her


    with a smile


    “Okay!” Ivy hugged Rosalynn’s arm. “I trust you the most, Mom!”


    “ttering me again, are you?” Rosalynn teased, tapping Ivy’s nose


    After dropping Ivy off at the school gate, Rosalynn turned around to find Molly waiting for her


    “Did youe because someone was picking on Ivy yesterday?”


    “Yes” Rosalynn replied, patting Molly’s head gently “Let the grown-ups handle this, kiddo”


    Molly nodded, checked the time, then said goodbye to Rosalynn, and headed towards the school


    entrance.


    Once sses had started, Rosalynn went straight to the principal’s office.


    “Mrs Silverman, I’m so sorry for the trouble we’ve caused you again!” The principal said, looking


    genuinely remorseful.
