Chapter 1867
Rosalynn flashed a smile before heading out with Jaime.
Max chomped on his doggy bed, dragging it beside the human bed. He pawed it a few times, turned a circle, found a comfy spot, and curled up
Rosalynn took a glance and gently closed the door.
Wayne was left standing at the entrance.
“Did you find the murderer?” Jaime asked anxiously.
Rosalynn started walking towards the living room.
Only when they were a good distance away from the kids’ room did she speak, “No luck. Plus, we found two more bodies.”
Jaime’s knees buckled, then he got angry, “Paige is still recovering! Who has the nerve to do this now! This is inhuman!”
“Don’t mention it in front of Paige, Rosalynn looked at Jaime.
Jaime nodded hastily, “I’m not an idiot, I know what to say!”
Rosalynn nodded, “Tomorrow’s unpredictable, if Wayne and I are not here, you’ll have to stay with the kids and celebrate Cain’s birthday.”
“Got it.” Jaime obediently nodded.
“Alright, it’s late, go get some rest.” Rosalynn patted Jaime’s shoulder.
“You too, don’t overwork yourself or stay up too late!” Jaime grumbled.
In the end, Jaime didn’t return to his own room.
He’s usually quite brave, but the scene he saw at the lotus pond still scared him.
After some thought, he went into Ivy’s room.
He laid a mattress on the floor and slept there.
Max, half-awake, saw Jaime also sleeping on the floor, picked up his doggy bed, dragged it beside Jaime, and continued his sleep leaning against Jaime. The rain stopped for a while, then started pouring again.,
Rosalynn came out after a shower, and Wayne patiently dried her hair.
After drying her hair, Wayne walked over to Rosalynn, bent down and asked, “Were you mad at me this afternoon?”
Rosalynn admitted honestly, “A bit…
“Are you still mad?” Wayne continued.
Rosalynn sighed, shook her head and said, “You just wanted to protect me and the kids, what’s wrong with that?” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“Nothing is more important than you guys.” Wayne said earnestly.
“I know.” Rosalynn held his hand, “For a long time, it was just Paige and me protecting each other, I’ve gotten used to protecting her in every way… Now that Baillie is here, I should let go a bit, I can’t steal Baillie’s job.”
Wayne dropped his eyelids, and smiled helplessly.
“Alright, stop blaming yourself, go to sleep.
Rosalynn was lying on one side of the bed. A small night light was left on the bedside.
Wayne and Rosalynn lay in a tight embrace.
It wasn’t long before Rosalynn’s breathing became steady
Wayne, however, slowly opened his eyes in the dark.
The sound of humid drops echoed in his ears again. Even amid the white noise of the heavy rain, it was still clear
And this time, it lasted longer than any other time before.
It wasn’t until the first light of dawn that Wayne slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
When Rosalynn woke up, Wayne was still asleep
She glanced at the time
Ivy’s voice faintly reached her from outside
the shifted slightly. Wayne didnt wake up
She moved his hand from her waist, got up, put on a light coat, and left the room
“Mommy” Ivy was always full of energy
Sening Rosalynn, she immediately rushed over
Rosalynn gently made a shushing gesture, ‘daddy is still sleeping”
by exclaimed in surprise. “You’re usually the one who sleeps in!”
Rosalynn laughed helplessly. 1 work hard, sleeping a bit more doesnt hurt
