The Secret Heir Return To Wealth And Love

Chapter 13

In the bathroom, the sound of water pattering.

The autumn night was getting cold. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

But Wayne still had the cold water running, showering himself.

Today’s every expression of Rosalynn kept replaying in his mind, especially the image of her tearful, ashamed, frightened, and desperate gaze at him.

The more Wayne thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

At this moment, the doorbell rang incessantly. He became even more irritable. Cursing, he turned off the water, put on his bathrobe, and strode out.

He opened the door. It was Jacob.

“What’s up?” Wayne asked coldly.

“I just saw Secretary Tesdal by the elevator!”

Upon hearing about Rosalynn, Wayne’s face contorted even further, and he made an attempt to close the door. However, Jacob swiftly interposed, blocking his way.

“Her skirt was torn, and she seemed to have been crying. She looked so pitiful!” Jacob quickly relayed, impeding the door’s closure.

Wayne’s heart sank, and he fell into a momentary silence before furrowing his brow and inquiring, “Did she say anything?”

Jacob slowly responded, “She said… you bullied her.”

Wayne’s fists clenched tightly. The term “bullying” struck him deeply. Was what he had done merely bullying? The actions he had previously engaged in were even more abhorrent. Why was it suddenly labeled as bullying now?

Wayne couldn’t comprehend it. Why was his previous behavior deemed acceptable, but now it was deemed unacceptable?

Would everything be the same if he remained unmarried?

Suddenly, a thought emerged in Wayne’s mind, making his heart jump.

Not getting married? How could he not get married!

The marriage between the Rosso and Silverman families was a win–win business. How could he possibly give up marriage for Rosalynn?

Absurd! He must have been driven mad by Rosalynn’s abnormal behavior!

“Anything else?” Wayne looked up, his aura attacking indiscriminately.

Jacob was a bit scared. He and Wayne had grown up together. Wayne had always been ruthless and decisive, and even more so in recent years. Jacob gradually became wary of him.

“No…”

Wayne closed the door. He walked to the sofa, looked at it, bypassed it, and sat down in front of the window.

After a while, fireworks were set off outside the window to celebrate Evan’s birthday.

Wayne’s eyes fell on a pearl earring on the carpet not far away.

In his mind, he could see its owner wearing it.

1. 1.

Rosalynn returned to her room, took off her dress, and went straight into the bathroom. The warm water washed over her body.

She left so that someone else could help Wayne.

Tonight, Ashley would finally have her wish fulfilled, right?

Rosalynn felt sick. She scrubbed forcefully at the places Wayne had touched until her skin turned red.

Leaving the bathroom, she found her phone on the floor with six missed calls. Two were from Evan and four from Paige.

She sent a text back to Paige: “In the bath.”

After some thought, she also returned Evan’s call.

The phone rang for a while, and then Evan picked up: “Rosalynn, hurry to the window. The fireworks are about to go off!”

Rosalynn was tired, but out of politeness, she replied gently, “Alright, thanks for reminding me.”

“Are you at the window?” Evan asked excitedly.

Rosalynn got up and walked slowly to the window: “I’m here.”

“Okay, let them go!”

Rosalynn was taken aback.

Was Evan waiting for her to be ready before setting off the fireworks?
