Chapter 66: wet and willing
Rose came back to the house after spending a long day with Zara. Her son, Tobi, was still asleep. While he slept, she stared at his small, cute face for a few moments before heading to the parlour. The house felt boring—that was it.
When Tobi was awake, it was just her and her own small world. But when he was asleep, she was left alone in this world. It felt as if she was the only one here, and the loneliness would eat her up.
Lazily, her fingers pressed the remote control in her hand, changing channels repeatedly, but her eyes were dim, lifeless, unaware of what was playing on the screen.
Her mind began to drift back to Rolan. She didn’t want to think about him, but at this moment, she couldn’t help it.
This fake couple act... She had been so caught up in it that she almost forgot the promise she made to herself. She had almost broken it.
She had almost been fooled again by her own emotions.
Rolan was acting so perfect in every way.
Even when he came to her small company, he had acted jealous because of that young man. She had sensed it but ignored it.
He had been playing this game—acting as if he wanted her back—but Rose couldn’t understand why.
Jennifer was the woman he loved. The woman he sacrificed her for.
Things were going in a direction she never expected.
