Chapter 158: Sad

Evan was shocked when she could feel the girl’s body shaking. He immediately looked at her and pulled her into his arms. He holds her thigh, trying to comfort her.

"Rose!? W-why are you crying?" Did he just say something that hurt her heart? Evan worries. What’s more, her cries are getting loud.

"Sorry, Rose... I’m so sorry if my words made you sad. But please stop crying. My heartfelt ache to see you cry like this...." Evan releases his embrace. He was trying to wipe her tears, but to his surprise, the girl suddenly smiled amid her tears.

What happened? Why does she suddenly smile?

"Evan, I cried because I was too happy to hear your flattery words..." Rose can’t help but smile when she sees how panicked Evan is.

"Huh! Shouldn’t you be smiling? But, why are you crying?" Evan is perplexed.

"Mmm... Well, you will not understand how my brain works, Evan." Rose smiles as she buries her head in his chest again. "Let’s sleep...." She placed her hand on Evan’s waist and tried to sleep.

After being honest with Evan, she felt her shoulders feel so light. Instantly her mind became much calmer. And she was very grateful that Evan would not leave her even though her parents’ past was so miserable. This man promised to protect her and her mother. He was even willing to give up everything he had to be with her.

How could she not be moved by this? Right now, she can’t express how grateful this man was for being chosen. She could only vow in her heart that she would be loyal to this man.

After some time, Rose was fast asleep in Evan’s arms. But Evan’s eyes were still wide open.

He slowly releases Rose’s hand. He got out of bed and took out his cell phone. After he dialed a string of numbers, he stood near the glass window.

"I need you to investigate someone...." All this time, Evan never once investigated Rose and her family. But after hearing Rose’s story about her father, whose identity was not revealed till now, he was forced to do it.

"Boss, who will you investigate?" A male voice was heard from the other end.

"This is top secret. And I need it fast. The person’s name is Molly Wilson. Find out what happened after she graduated from college... It’s about 23 years ago."

After making the orders, Evan didn’t go back to bed to sleep with Rose, but he remained standing there. His sharp eyes looked at the lonely moon in the sky as his mind was busy thinking about his plan to find Rose’s father. He believes he can definitely see he will bring this man to meet Rose.

Although 23 years ago, not many places in this country had CCTV, somehow, he believed he would get a clue about Nick. As long as Nick is still alive and living in this country. He would definitely find him.

Seeing her fiancé very sad when she told her mother’s past, she was able to make his heart hurt. He wouldn’t let Rose be sad anymore. So is his mother-in-law. He had promised to protect them before, so he would.

Evan believes that his father was against him marrying Rose because his father already knew that Rose’s father never existed. And he hated his father so much because he investigated Rose’s background.

****

Next morning.

Rose was surprised when she saw Evan chatting with her mother in the living room; He looked well-groomed as if he was ready to go somewhere.

No wonder she did not see him in her bedroom when she woke up. She was annoyed because he didn’t leave a message for her. If only the traces of the pillow he was using weren’t visible, she’d probably think last night’s sleeping with Evan was just a dream.

Rose’s eyes looked at her mother. Instantly, her heart calmer when she didn’t see any trace of sadness that radiated from her mother’s face. Her mother looked so beautiful in her usual bright blue dress. Her laugh is now full of charm, like the laugh of a goddess who happily comes from heaven.

She felt touched seeing Evan could make her mother laugh like now. Rose forgot the last time she saw her mother laughing and having fun like this.

Rose stood at her place for a few minutes, not wanting to disturb their conversation. She tried to satisfy her eyes, seeing the happiness that radiated from her mother’s face, making Rose feel calm and happy.

She didn’t remember how long she stood there watching her two favorite people in life warmly chat. But not long after, she heard the faint voice of her mother scolding her. She seemed to be pulled back to her reality. She could only smile awkwardly at her mother.

"My goodness, Rose! Can you return to your room and change into your proper clothes?" Molly couldn’t believe what she was seeing right now. Her daughter had just woken up from her sleep with messy hair flowing down to her back, and she was still wearing her nightgown.

Molly sends a death glare to her lazy daughter, who humiliated herself in front of her boyfriend. She worries Evan will cut a tie with her daughter after looking at how messy her daughter is now.

"Good morning, Evan. You woke up so early, huh!?" Rose greeted Evan while giving him the impression that she didn’t like how he left without waking her up.

"It’s not my son-in-law who wakes up too early, but you who wakes up so late, lady! Can you change your clothes first?" Molly raises her voice to scold her daughter.

"Gee! Mom... don’t worry. Evan liked it when my hair was messy, like now. Right, Evan?" Rose chuckled as she waved her hand and hurried back into her bedroom before her mother threw a sleeper on her. She can see how sulky her mother is right now.

If only her mother knew that her beloved Son-In-Law was sleeping with her, she might faint, right? Rose could only shake her head as she widely smiled when she imagined her mother knew their secret.
