Chapter 2257
Then he leaned down and gave Rosalynn a peck on the lips, saying, "Have a seat, dinner will be ready in a second." "Okay." Rosalynn took a seat at the dining table.
Wayne had taken care of the flowers she bought, arranging them in a vase on the kitchen island next to the dining area.
It wasn't long before Wayne came out with a Dutch oven.
Just as they sat down, Rosalynn's phone began to ring.
Wayne went to fetch it from the other room. "It's Sean Hudy." he said.d2
"It must be about work." Rosalynn took the phone, playfully slapped Wayne's behind, "Ms. Tesdal has to handle some business now, you be a good boy and don't make trouble, alright?" Wayne immediately put on his best 'angelic' expression and sat down beside Rosalynn.
Rosalynn didn't like her food too hot.
So, Wayne carefully ladled the stew onto a small plate to cool it down.
During this process, Wayne suddenly wondered, when was the last time he and his wife had sat down for a meal like this?
Upon reflection, he was shocked to realize that it was before she had faked her death and left...
"Go ahead with the plan you've drafted; I won't have time in the coming days, and I might not always be reachable by phone. Handle what you can on your own."
Sean acknowledged on the other end of the line, after a few more words, Rosalynn hung up.
"What are you looking at?" Rosalynn put down the phone, turning her questioning gaze towards Wayne.
Wayne said nothing. He leaned in close to Rosalynn and kissed her lips with the reverence of one treasuring a precious gem, "Honey, the god really hasn't been hard on me. I've made so many mistakes, I should be facing karma. But he allowed you to walk away from that plane, giving me a chance to come back to you and make amends."
"Why bring this up again?" Rosalynn sighed and gently caressed Wayne's cheek.
He closed his eyes, pressing his face into the palm of Rosalynn's hand.
"I'm just... overwhelmed with emotion."
"Thinking of atonement?" Rosalynn suddenly asked.
Wayne opened his eyes, sat up straight, and nodded earnestly, "I'll do anything you ask of me!"
"Then... could you be a little more restrained for the next few days? I'm not as young as I used to be, I can't keep up!" Rosalynn said with a mix of laughter and exasperation.
Wayne paused, then laughed along with her, gently pulling her into his embrace, softly saying, "Alright, I'll do whatever you want these next few days. Whatever you wanted me to do with you before, that I callously ignored, we'll do it all."
Rosalynn was never one to be greedy. Even when she was by Wayne's side, she remembered she was there to work, even after she realized her feelings for Wayne had grown over time.
She constantly reminded herself not to forget her duties.
So, her requests of Wayne were always very, very simple.
"Wanna watch a movie together?"
"I've got a Switch, wanna play?"
She never even asked for them to go out together.
Wayne would only agree to her requests when he was in a good mood.
Those moments were few and far between over five years.
Despite this, the Rosalynn of those times was content, realizing that he never truly belonged to her at that time.
