Chapter 648
“Nah.” Noah shook his head with a smile, “You never really got over that guy This whole thing is just a stepping stone for you two to get hitched. Stepping on me – this stone you guys happily waltzed into marriage.”
“Noah, I’m really sorry if I hurt you…
“Forget it” Noah cut Rosalynn off again.
He had played this scenario over and over in his head. But when it actually happened, he still felt like the biggest joke in the world.
‘Congratulations After saying that, Noah opened the car door and got off without looking back.
Rosalynn wanted to chase after him, but hesitated for a second.
What could she say if she followed him? Nothing will change.
Instead of all that, better let Noah give up completely so he can move on
Sitting in the car, Rosalynn watched as Noah’s tall, lanky figure walked away, tears streaming uncontrollably down her cheeks.
Noah, a thousand, no, ten thousand apologies can’t express my regret. I’m sure you will meet someone who will have only you in her heart.
When Rosalynn returned to the hospital, Ivy was still sitting facing the wall, not saying a word.
“You need to talk to her Hilaria urged Rosalynn as soon as she saw her, “She won’t eat or drink… won’t listen to anyone.”
“Who does Ivy take after? When she’s being stubborn, it’s impossible to communicate with her! Paige sighed helplessly.
She and Baillie had already done the matching this afternoon. They had calmed down a bit. While worrying about Cory’s condition, they were also concerned about Wayne taking Rosalynn away for so long. They worried about what might have happened, if Wayne was threatening or bribing her, or yelling at her or something.
Rosalynn pushed the patio door open. Cory and Ivy were both there.
“Cory, can I have a moment alone with Ivy? Rosalynn asked.
Cory nodded and left.
Rosalynn sat down on the wicker chair and tugged on Ivy’s arm, trying to get her to turn around. Ivy didn’t move.
“Honey, don’t you want to know why Uncle had a fight with mom?”
Rosalynn knew Ivy too well. The moment Ivy heard this question, she started turning to Rosalynn’s direction.
“Come to mommy” Rosalynn reached out her hand.
After some hesitation, Ivy put out her hand as well. Rosalynn held it and tugged her in for an embrace.
Paige saw all this through the glass and resignedly started clapping. She had been talking to Ivy all afternoon, even until her mouth went dry, to no avail. But Ivy gave in the moment her mom opened her arms.
“Your eyes are swollen from crying. Does it hurt?‘ Rosalynn stroke Ivy’s cheek tenderly
Ivy didn’t answer. She seemed to be just waiting for Rosalynn to explain why they had fought.
Rosalynn sighed softly, then spoke to Ivy in a serious tone, ‘Honey…Mom and Handsome Uncle have known each other for a really long time. We met before you and your brother were even born”
“Back then, did mommy have long hair?” Ivy finally spoke up.
Rosalynn nodded, “How did you know?”
“Ivy saw it on godmother’s phone. The video of you and Bad Uncle…” Ivy has changed her nickname for Wayne.
Rosalynn patted her little head. “At that time, mommy really, really liked him. We were going to get married.”
“Married?‘ Ivy was shocked.
“Yes.” Rosalynn pinched her cheek, “But for some reasons, we broke up… After we broke up, I had you and your brother. Actually, Handsome Uncle is your and your brother’s daddy”
