The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1811

“Really? I’m not even allowed a glance now? I’ve seen more than my fair share in the past, and yet I’ve never

caught a shadow of you.”

Momson’s face darkened to a stormy hue. This is my house, you wretch Coming in here and trying to seduce my

wife, have you no shame?”

Winston scoffed dismissively “Mr Morrison, I’d think twice about those accusations if I were you. Maybe take a

moment to reflect on your own escapades. Sneaking around behind your wife’s back with an old flame at some

swanky hotel–what exactly was going through your head then?”

At that Momson’s complexion took on a sickly pallor, and Rose’s expression froze on her face

Grandma and Molly instantly furrowed their brows c2

Grandma’s face turned grave as she rose from the couch, demanding. What is this nonsense? Ex–lovers? Speak

up!”

Morison squinted his eyes and, ignoring Grandma, addressed Winston with a chilled tone, “If we’re airing dirty

laundry, should I bring up those cozy dinners you’ve been sharing with Rose?

“Why not?” Winston nodded readily ‘ll admit it, I’ve got a soft spot for Rose She was clueless about it until today She

invited me to endorse her product, and when I flew in from P City, she took me out for a welcome dinner. Our

relationship, either in the past or in the present, is nothing but transparent What about you, Mr. Morisont

“If it werent for the blessing of online media, perhaps no one would know that Rose is your lawfully wedded wife,

night? All thanks to those online platforms. Your wife after marrying you, had to endure what rumors and mockery.

Are you unable to see it, or do you simply not care at all?

If you paid her any attention, maybe she wouldn’t have been seen with me at all. Yes, we dined together but she’s

not an ex of mine. I didn’t take her down memory places we used to eat and i didn’t play the gallant man I’ve heard

of chivalry, Mr. Morrison, but have you ever shown a fraction of that to your own wife?

Winston spoke lazily, but his voice dripped with scom

Morrison’s face turned a shade of green, while Winston left him with no ground to stand on.

to

And Rose, who had tried not to care too much, now found herself awash with a bitter hurt as Winston deliberately

brought it all up. She stood silently, unsure what to say or

do

She felt like an outsider in her own marriage.

She was entitled to an explanation from Morrison, yet she remained silent.

Out of fear

Afraid of being heartbroken, of being overwhelmed by sadness, afraid that every word, every expression from him,

could so easily wound her

She didn’t want

Most of the time, she just wanted to live in the moment, even if it was a blur.

Like these past few days, clueless about the reasons or the future, she just wanted to bask in the moments with

Morrison

Not to think too much, just to cherish the joy while it lasted

She never dared to ask for love from Monson

But the contradiction was there, the longer they were together, the more she craved, and she couldn’t ignore the

barrier between them.

She had mentioned Mona before, but that conversation had faded into nothingness

Now, with Winston’s mention, under this tense confrontation, she truly didn’t know what Morrison might say, or how

he might thoughtlessly hurt her

Her hands clenched tightly at her sides she stood behind Momson, head slightly bowed, lips pressed tightly

together, her whole body tense, palms chilling

She braced herself for any pain that might come from Morrison’s direction.

Grandma glanced at her her expression growing even more severe ‘Morrison! I’m speaking to you! Who is this ex–

lover you were talking about?”

Morrisons brow was furrowed, his demeanor icy. “Is this ever going to end?”

Molly, normally the epitome of gentleness, now showed a rare coldness “Morrison, you need to clear this up is it

that Mona woman? Has she come

Momson remained silent, but Winston added fuel to the fire Seems Mr. Morrison is quite the loyal lover Mention an

ex, and it’s clear to everyone that we re

dear Miss Mona”

Roses eyes quivered, suddenly feeling a wave of dizziness and a tightness in her chest.

How faithful Morison was with only one lover

Should she be relieved or saddened?

His past belonged to a single woman

Mona meant that much to him

For any other wealthy young man, girlfriends would be too numerous to count

Some flings some with feelings involved

in this harsh reality such things were commonplace, even expected

But Monson he had only Mona

She closed her eyes tightly forcing herself not to dwell on these thoughts

To avoid trapping herself in a dead end of sadness

Momson’s current coldness was a familiar sting to Molly and Grandina

It was the same attitude he had shown them years ago when they opposed

Morrison’s eyes flared with impatience, tuming to face Grandma sharply ‘So what‘ if shea back, do i have to report

Chapter 1811

“Momson” A furious shout erupted not from Grandma or Rose, nor Winston, but from the usually gentle and soft–

spoken Molly

“Do you even have a clue what you’re babbling about?! Molly was beside herself with frustration Have you

forgotten that you re a marned man now? Look at the woman standing beside you–she’s your wife carrying your

child for heaven’s sakel Grandma was right, why did you leave Mona back in R City? So she can pop up anytime she

pleases? Where does that leave Rose?

Rose shuddered at the mention of her name, the bitter taste of jealousy almost spilling river Her eyes despite her

efforts, betrayed a reddening sorrow

Molly’s words caused Morrison to whip his head around. Their gazes clashed, and Rose was startled by the icy anger

in his eyes She flinched and took a step back

She tried to speak, but under Momson’s gaze she was lost for words in the end she could only look away her

attempt to hide her discomposure only highlighting her current state of distress

Morrison’s eves flickered but Rose refused to meet his gaze again

Megan and Molly witnessing Rose’s state felt both heartache and sympathy Grandma, in particular, was furious She

raised her cane ready to ghe Momson a piece of her

mind

That damned scoundrell thrash you today, you heartless wretch

A muffled thud echoed the force behind it causing a buzzing sound

“Grandma Despite everything Rose called out, wanting to shield Morrison, ‘Please stop, he’s still sick

But Grandma’s cane raised again, couldn’t be stopped

As it was about to strike Rose Morrison instinctively turned and shielded her with his back

However the expected pain didn’t come Instead. Rose felt someone grasp her arm

Loosening his hold on Rose Mornson turned to see Winston holding back the cane with one hand and gripping

Rose’s wrist with the other

If it weren’t for me. Rose wouldn’t have been in harm’s way. Winston said releasing Grandma’s cane and still

holding onto Rose He met Momsons frosty gaze with a smirk “Don’t look at me like that Who do you think is really to

blame here?

His mocking smile deepened if it weren’t for Miss Mona, today’s drama would’ve ended with me being the

shameless homewrecker Thanks to you. I can stand here such legitimacy, while you, despite your night to resent

me, have no moral high ground

Morrison’s face darkened “You say I have no right?

Winston’s expression didn’t waver “You’re a husband in name only. Do you really think you re doing a good job?”

Momson narrowed his eyes his temper flaring as he faced off with Winston, who was openly challenging him and

expressing his feelings for Rose His pride and a mix of inexplicable emotions bubbled into rage

With a single thought, Morrison moved towards Winston, confronting him and demanding “Let go of her hand”

Winston’s lips curled into a cold sneer ‘Let go of her that easily? No way”

Each word was a deliberate poke at Momson’s anger, which reached its breaking point. His handsome face twisted

with rage, and he grabbed Winston’s collar, pulling hurt in close his menacing aura closing in

Rose’s wrist throbbed with pain in a moment of distraction, a scuffle broke out Looking up, she saw Morrisoris fist

connect with Winston’s face

Caught off guard Winston stumbled catching himself on the armrest of a nearby sofa to avoid falling

Rose’s heart skipped a beat, and she rushed forward to embrace Morrison, trying to stop him from throwing

another punch

“Morrison”

He was all tensed up, barely aware of Rose’s presence As he was about to hit her unintentionally. Molly stepped in

to shield Rose

“Morrison Be careful you’ll hurt Rose

Molly shout froze Morrison who turned to see the woman clinging to him from behind

Momson please stop

Rose looked up at him her eyes pleading

Momson glared at her before slowly lowering his arms

Whats wrong? Can I stand to see me mess him up or is it that you can’t bear to see him hurt?”

Rose was taken aback by the fericity in his expression, a side of him shed never seen before His words ignited a

“What reason do you want from me? He declares his love for you right in front of me, and I’m supposed to stand
