Was she being too obvious that even the kids noticed?
“Honey, your dad’s hurt, and it’s only natural for Mommy to worry. Don’t let it burden you,” Rosalynn comforted gently.
Ivy pursed her lips, saying nothing, only nodding obediently.
Exiting her daughter’s room, Rosalynn headed straight downstairs, getting herself a glass of water in the living room, taking her time to finish it.
Coming out of his study, Hilaria found Rosalynn sitting alone at the bar counter.
“What’s wrong?” Hilaria approached, his voice filled with gentle concern.d2
Rosalynn turned to him with a smile. “Just put Ivy to bed. You’ve been busy till now?”
“Had a short meeting.” Hilaria sat across her, “I heard Wayne went back to the office today, seems like something went wrong?”
“It’s a minor hiccup. He handled it.” Rosalynn replied. “Now he’s looking into who’s behind all of this.”
She proceeded to give Hilaria a concise rundown of the situation. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
After listening, Hilaria frowned slightly. “On the surface, it seems like they were acting in your best interest.”
“But their plan was too naive: Even if Wayne hadn’t noticed the problem in the proposal, with his capability, he could easily resolve it,” Rosalynn continued.
“It seems like their goal wasn’t to help you or to trip Wayne up. Wayne has always been suspicious and values Bane Corporation more than his own life. The other party wanted to plant a seed of doubt in his mind,” Hilariah paused, “In short, they wanted to sow discord between you two.” “Yeah.” Rosalynn agreed, then chuckled sarcastically, “They got a hold of that medical report, even if they aren’t close to Wayne, they must have connections to people who can get close to him. Unfortunately, their understanding of Wayne is stuck in the past…”
Wayne’s priorities had long since shifted from Bane Corporation to his family.
So, this plan was doomed to fail from the start.
“There’s another possibility,” Hilaria looked at Rosalynn, “They had no other options and had to make this desperate attempt.”
Afterall, no one among Wayne’s circle were fools.
Rosalynn pondered for a moment, saying, “I think your theory is more likely.”
“Don’t worry about this,” Hilaria reassured, gently patting Rosalynn’s hand, “Their plan is exposed, and their true intentions will soon be revealed. Go get some rest, you have to get up early tomorrow to take the kids to school.”
“Alright.” Rosalynn nodded.
Hilaria yawned, wished her goodnight, and headed off to his room.
The living room was left in dim light.
Rosalynn traced the rim of her glass with her finger.
She had an idea about the identity of the person.
But, if it was him, what could possibly be the motivation?
Outside the window, a soft drizzle started to fall.
Rosalynn glanced at it, turned off the light at the bar counter, and headed upstairs.
Coming out of the shower, Wayne had just finished a work call.
Exiting the suite’s small study, Wayne naturally stepped forward, took the towel from Rosalynn’s hand and began drying her hair
Rosalynn glanced at his wrist, still wrapped in bandages.
“Hasn’t it healed yet?” she asked, furrowing her brow
“It’s scabbed over” Wayne replied. “But the wrist gets rubbed often, so I thought I’d better keep it bandaged for a few more days to avoid it reopening”
