The Secret Heir Return To Wealth And Love

"Staying at home is starting to wear on me." Rosalynn stroked Wayne's hair, "Let's make the most of these last couple of days. One day we'll pay our respects to Ayden and Betsy, another day let's hit up L City."

Wayne blinked in surprise. Looking up at Rosalynn, he echoed, "L City?"

Rosalynn nodded. Then she gently covered Wayne's eyes with her hand and kissed his lips, teasing, "What's the matter? Scared of meeting my grandparents and mom?"

After they got married, it had been a sensitive subject.

Wayne felt slighted because Rosalynn had been reluctant to take him to Hillside Memorial Park. He believed it meant she hadn't truly accepted him, hadn't forgiven him from the bottom of her heart. "I'd love to go!" Wayne responded immediately.d2

Then he pulled Rosalynn's hand from his eyes and looked at her earnestly, "Rosa..."

"Yes?" she replied softly.

Wayne buried his head in her embrace, his voice trembling slightly, "I love you so much."

Rosalynn laughed, "President Silverman, even Ivy doesn't get this clingy with me anymore."

"Well, I'm being clingy!" Wayne retorted, hugging Rosalynn's waist and nuzzling into her embrace. "Are you hungry? Want to eat at home, or go out for a bite and catch a movie?"

"Let's go out!" Rosalynn didn't hesitate. "I've got a sudden craving for Paige's fluffy pancakes!"

"Sure thing!" Wayne agreed and, without warning, scooped Rosalynn up and headed towards the dressing room.

Rosalynn couldn't help but laugh and shake her head. She had noticed over the past few days that Wayne was itching to go out with her.

The days were getting warmer, and Rosalynn couldn't be bothered with dressing up in fancy skirts and makeup.

A loose white tee, jeans, and flip-flops were all she needed to step out.

Wayne followed suit.

"Where did all these clothes come from?" she asked, puzzled.

Previously, Wayne's wardrobe had been strictly formal wear.

"Sneaked them in while you were napping. Had the store deliver," Wayne boasted, wearing a luxury-brand T-shirt matching Rosalynn's.

Rosalynn was speechless, and she glanced at the dressing room again.

To her surprise, it was filled with new clothes, many of them couple's outfits.

President Silverman's intentions were clear to all.

"There are kid versions of these outfits, too. Maybe we could..."

"No way." Wayne picked up Rosalynn and headed for the door, "They wear theirs, we wear ours."

"Always with the little schemes, President Silverman," Rosalynn teased with a head shake.

When they left the house, it was just past eight.

They grabbed a bite to eat and then walked hand in hand towards the nearby mall.

It was a Saturday, and the plaza near the mall was bustling with people.

Many recognized Rosalynn and Wayne.

What should have been a short walk took nearly half an hour due to all the photo requests.

Rosalynn looked at Wayne. His eyes were bright, his face lit up with joy.

"Having fun?" she asked.

Wayne glanced at her, catching on to her meaning, and nodded, "So much!"

He relished these moments.

Suddenly, Rosalynn remembered something...
