With a loud bang, the grand front door of the mansion swung open.

Morrison marched in, his face dark as a brewing storm.

The moment the door had burst open, Rose’s words, “Try loving someone else,” reignited the anger Winston’s tirade had suppressed, sending his emotions into a furious explosion.

She was going to love someone else?

How casually she said it!c2

After marrying him because she was carrying his child, she thought she could just walk away and love someone else as if it were that simple?

She was the one who had wanted marriage, and now she was the one wanting a divorce.

Did she think he was a statue, without feelings or words of his own?

Everything was on her terms!

Mona’s face lit up with anxious hope when she saw Morrison. She nearly burst into tears of joy, “Morrison…”

But Morrison might as well have been deaf for all the attention he paid her, not even sparing her a glance.

His expression remained dark, his gaze icy as it fixed firmly on Rose.

Rose, for her part, looked up at Morrison with a serene expression, her smile faint in the face of his brooding demeanor

“I’ve done my best for Granny and Mom, helped wherever I could. You might not care, but consider it… compensation for forcing you into marriage with the baby Whether you accept that or not doesn’t matter to me…

She paused, the curve of her lips widening slightly, “Don’t worry, once I’ve made a decision, I never look back. So there’s no need to fear that use some ploy to hurt Mona or ruin whatever you have… While it doesn’t concern me what suspicions you harbor, I’d rather not be seen as a wicked woman in the eyes of others…”

“From the bottom of my heart, I do hope you find happiness. We’re not enemies, are we? I’m available any time to finalize the divorce papers, and if you’re in a hurry, we can even do it now…”

“Rose!”

“Rose!”

Molly and Granny were in true panic now.

Why had things escalated to this point?

Was there truly no room for maneuver?

“Granny, Mom, let it be… Some things just can’t be forced…”

Granny shook her head, “No, I won’t accept this My granddaughter–in–law can only be you, and if you divorce Morrison, he might as well remain

a bachelor for life! No other woman shall cross the threshold of the Witt family after you!”

Mona’s heart had leapt with joy at the prospect of Rose bowing out gracefully, giving her another shot with Morrison.

She had been forced to part ways with him, and leaving was her way of showing Molly and Granny her place in Morrison’s heart

If they pushed her out, Morrison would never easily forgive them.

For them to acknowledge her was merely a matter of time
