The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1805

“What on earth did he eat tonight? His stomach’s churning out acid like a soda fountain.”

The doctors expression was a mix of stern and dour clearly annoyed by the patient’s reckless disregard for his own

well being

As a doctor, the most common encounters were either with those who didn’t follow medical advice or those who

created problems for themselves. Not valuing their own health was a big taboo for them as doctors And every day

there were patients who kept coming back with such issues

The diagnosis of acute gastritis was enough to make Rose’s blood boil. Given how Morrison reacted to spicy food,

she was certain he had a history of stomach issues.

Had he lost his mind tonight? He knew his stomach was a ticking time bomb, that he couldn’t handle spicy food, and

yet he’d gone and done it anyway c2

All because of Winston’s offhand comment that he couldn’t take the heat?

To her such willful ignorance was nothing short of idiocy Why would someone as sharp as Morrison make such a

boneheaded mistake?

“He well, the dish i made tonight was a bit on the spicy side.”

The doctor pursed his lips, his face tightening “Watch it next time. A few more episodes like this, and it might be too

late for a hospital run.”

Rose bit her lip and nodded, voice a low murmur, “Understood, it won’t happen again.”

The doctor retreated back into the examination room.

The doctor’s words did suggest Morrison would pull through without serious consequences this time, which allowed

Rose to breathe a sigh of relief before she settled on the hallway bench to wait for him to emerge

She covered her face with her hands, still shaken by the sight of his agony

Thank God it was nothing serious. The sheer panic of the situation had been overwhelming If something had

happened to Morrison, she didn’t know what she would’ve

dane

After what felt like an eternity, the door finally opened. Rose sprang to her feet and approached.

In the hospital room, Morison, after taking anesthesia for the examination, still hadn’t woken up.

“In the next two days, no solid food is allowed, but he can have some easily digestible liquid food. Pay attention to

stomach maintenance in the future–anything that is gentle on the stomach is fine. Also,”

The doctor snapped his clipboard shut and furrowed his brows at Rose. “It wasn’t just the spicy food that did a

number on his stomach From what we found, it seems like he’s had a whole smorgasbord of issues. Based on what

he ate tonight, it shouldn’t have been this bad. Your culinary skills… Have you ever cooked before?”

If it really was her cooking then questioning her skills was an understatement – it would’ve been more appropriate

to ask if she knew how to cook at all. Landing someone in the hospital took some doing

Rose shook her head. “No, I had guests over tonight, and none of us had any issues”

The doctor glanced at her “Are you guys trying to kill him?”

Rose’s mouth twitched, “Of course not.”

“Well, that’s odd. Anyway, let’s chalk it up to a learning experience. Make sure you’re more careful in the future.*

Rose nodded vigorously. “Yes, there won’t be a next time.”

The doctor gave her a detailed rundown of do’s and don’ts before leaving, sizing her up one more time before

adding “Can you manage on your own? Shouldn’t we notify his

next of kin?”

Rose shook her head, “No need, I can handle it.”

After the doctor left. Rose returned to the hospital room, looking at the man on the bed who still hadn’t awakened.

She stood there for a moment before finding a chair to sit

beside him

Gone was his usual combative demeanor, and his typically sarcastic words. He lay there, breaths even, lips slightly

parted, handsome features relaxed and expressionless.

Such a face how could it be so handsome? If only his personality wasn’t so off–putting

She gently laid her hand on his brow, trailing it softly “This face it’s dangerous.”

If the hadrit falien for those looks, and thus him, she wouldn’t be breaking her own rules like this.

It just wasn’t like her

Some things like now, were better off being appreciated at face value, because it was simpler that way, more

satisfying and joyful

Withdrawing her hand she placed it on her stomach

In the silence of the hospital room, their breathing was the only sound Rose sat there, gazing at Morrison’s face,

lost in thought

Time passed and as sleepiness crept up on her, she yawned and stood intending to rest on the nearby couch. But

her hand was sud

She trembled and looked down to see Momson’s eyes slowly opening, his gap firm on her “You when did you wake

up

Momsons eyelids were heavy the sedatives still in his system. He vaguely remembered being wheeled into the

room, but he had been ina

gripped tight

He knew Rose had been sitting by his side and as she began to leave, he instincthely reached out to hold her. He

didn’t answer her question but estead asked, “Whom are you going?

Im tired I was going to rest on the couch for a bit

Morrison pursed his lips and shifted slightly After a moment, he lifted the covers and patted the empty space beside

him, his voice wesk. “Corne here”

Rose hesitated. “You’re still sick. Wouldn’t it be better for you to rest alone

“Hurry up.”

Marnson pulled at her hand with impatience

With a blush creeping across her face, Rose glanced at the offered space and withdrew her hand.

Morrison watched her with a frown, his pale face marked with displeasure, but Rose simply took off her jacket and

draped it over the chair Then the ipproached the bed

1/3

Momsons expression softened as he realized she was still wearing the same home wear, too rattled earlier to

change.

The sat on the edge of the bed, lifted her legs onto it, and slowly lay down. The VIP hospital bed was spacious and

comfortable, and Morrison hadn’t left much room. As she lay down, she was right in the perfect spot. Her body stiff,

she lay flat, her face turned to the side, unsure where to look.

Just as she pulled the covers over herself, Mornson moved closer. His arms wrapped around het, his presence

engulfing her, his warm breath cascaded over the skin of her

neck

Rose was caught off guard, her breath suddenly seizing as her body tensed

“You still haven’t answered my question, his muffled voice emanated from the nape of her neck, his breath

scorching upon her skin.

Rose’s mind briefly short–circuited “What?”

A prolonged silence ensued before he asked, “Why do you care about me so much?”

Her eyes flickered “Because you’re my.”

“I don’t want to hear that it’s because I’m your son’s father, or any of that Tell me something else”

“That’s the only reason”

His breathing grew heavier against her neck.

“Is that important to you?” Rose trembled slightly

“What do you think?”

Rose stared at the ceiling silent for a long while before she gently cradled her belly and turned to face Morrison,

Their faces were inches apart as Morrison lifted his gaze to meet hers. Rose intently stared into his eyes for a long

time before she finally spoke gently, “You’re the father of my child, and you’re my husband. Aren’t these reasons

enough for me to worry about you?”

Her eyes shone with a soft, delicate light, yet she looked at him with gentleness, as if afraid that even a slightly

forceful glance might startle him

Her warm breath brushed against his jaw, tickling him softly. He watched her too, seeing the caution and sincerity in

her eyes. The word “husband sounded much more pleasant than “father of my child”

“Alright, I guess that reason just about passes,” he conceded

A hint of a smile touched Rose’s eyes. “So, can you go to sleep now?”

Morrison’s eyes lingered on her face, marveling at how delicate a woman could be. Her flawless skin so smooth he

couldn’t spot a single pore, and her features perfect up close

Her body was no different, her skin so smooth and soft it slipped through his fingers. Today, he had seen her in a

way he never had before

His breath deepened, his hand on her waist tightened, and his body leaned closer to Rose

Instinctively Rose pressed against Morrison’s chest, her cheeks blushing, her eyes nervous. “What are you doing?”

“Doing what a husband should” His face drew near hers, his voice deep and husky, his breath hot enough to feel

like a kiss.

Rose looked dazed as his lips, accompanied by his voice and breath, pressed against hers. Her hand clutching his

chest tightened.

They had been far too intimate today, but the atmosphere of the day, compared to now, was entirely different

During the day she had been bold, brazenly taking the initiative Now, the atmosphere was different.

She didn’t have time to think as Mornson’s kiss breached her defenses once again. Their breath mingled, heating

their cheeks and hearts like an open flame

Time seemed to stand still, yet it flowed on her hand on his chest slowly climbing to his shoulder as she closed her

eyes and responded to him subconsciously

As her body relaxed Momson’s hand on her waist suddenly slipped beneath her shirt

Skin touched skin. A shiver ran through Rose, her body tensing again She wanted to push him away, but Morrison

held on even tighter

It wasn’t until he felt satisfied and weary that he let her go. Rose’s face was flushed, her eyes misty with a confused

luster, reluctant to meet his gaze.

“Not now

Morrison watched her for a while before pulling her into his embrace. His nose nestled in her hair, a faint scent

wafting to his nostrils.

The fragrance was comforting, and Morrison found it rather pleasant 1 won’t let you go next time

Rose lay in Momson’s arms, still feeling surreal. Everything she had experienced today was beyond her wildest

dreams. To be held so tightly by Morrison was something she had never dared to imagine.

Tears threatened to full as she thought about the countless scenanos she had dreamed up during college, about

their life together as lovers, as husband and wife, waking through the years hand in hand

But then she had stopped daring to dream, from the moment he ignored her affection to choose another woman,

flaunting his relationship with Mona, fighting with hus family over her and from the first day of their marriage. She

had stopped dreaming altogether.

Now, without wishing for it, it had come to her Unexpected and precious

She admitted that she was a complete and utter failure, defeated by Morrison and the complex thing called love

After all, hadnt she fallen for him first?

“I’m carrying a baby‘ she whispered, putting everything else aside

“Over four months now” Morrison’s voice was heavy from above her

Hose’s cheeks reddened even more, even in his embrace, she instinctively buried her head tower

“So what?” she asked, her face heating up

His breathing above her head grew steady, and for a long time there was no response Rose guessed he might have

fallen asleep given his lethargy since waking up from

the anesthesia

Yet Momson spoke again, his words slurred Four months is okay Mid pregnancy You can have some sex

Their proximity allowed Rose to hear his disjointed words clearly Her face burned with embarrassment

If Morrison were awake, he surely wouldn’t say such words So now was it the anesthetic dulling his senses, making

him say shower came to mind

She blinked, staring at the healthy color of the skin before her, her face red as the asked “How How do

“Looked it up And all those condoms unused cant

waste them)

Rose’s expression changed dramatically. He had looked it up, and condoms couldn’t be wasted” Since when had he

been secretly contemplating these things?

Biting her lip she now felt a mix of embarrassment and anger. She had truly seen a new tide of hom

“I had no idea you were this kind of person Base hissed though clenched teath

“Hmm

Glancing around the room, the paused for a moment before asking again. Rose and Mona, who

A sharp sting pierced through Rose’s heart, plunging her mood into the depths of despisir

Do you even tea ie who you’re holding in your arma?

| despise?”

Rose felt a profound sense of injustice. “Then tell me. Between Rose and Mona, who do you truly fancy??

Silence filled the room. As Rose waited without an answer, she bit her lip, attempting to wriggle free from

Momisoris embrace

Unexpectedly. Momson’s voice broke the stillness once more. Tancy Rose Despise ”

Rose was taken aback and suddenly fell silent “You mean, you fancy Rose? Then why did you say you despise her?”

She gently lifted her gøre ti brimming with hope

Morrison was genuinely asleep, and Roses relentless questioning seemed to have inked him. His brows furrowed

slightly, and he let out Fancy despise this annoying woman“.
