Chapter 2255
In a fleeting moment, he could swear he saw shades of Betsy and Ayden from years gone by. But this time, the stars had realigned for Wayne and Rosalynn. There was no chance of history repeating its sorrowful tale.
A colossal burden that had been suffocating Penn's heart for countless years seemed to dissipate into the ether. Breathing deeply, his chest swelled with the feeling of emancipation as he navigated his way towards the individual waiting to collect him.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
It was only in the parking lot that Wayne managed to pull his thoughts away from his deep infatuation with his wife. "What about Cory and Ivy? Aren't they on school breaks yet?" "They're on break," Rosalynn said as she closed the trunk and gestured for Wayne to hop into the car.
He slid into the passenger seat, and not a moment too late, Rosalynn joined him. She fired up the engine and, ignoring his puppy-dog gaze, set the GPS for their destination. Wayne felt a tinge of disappointment. After such a long separation, he was dying to kiss his love. Yet, she was the picture of composure.d2
"You don't seem like you're picking up a husband. More like a boss or a friend," Wayne muttered, his eyes downcast.
Rosalynn glanced over, a smile creeping across her face. "That's because it's you."
Wayne looked at her, puzzled.
"Now that you're well, you've started to be unreasonable," she said, raising a finger to lightly tap his forehead.
Wayne just sighed. If only he had glanced at the GPS, he might not have felt so out of sorts. But soon enough, as they took turns he recognized, he began to sense something. "This isn't the way back to Moonlit Lake." he said.
"Who said we're going back to Moonlit Lake?"
Wayne was taken aback. "Did we move or something?"
Rosalynn couldn't help but laugh as she looked at him. "No, we didn't."
They drove on, and it wasn't long before Wayne figured out their actual destination.
The car smoothly entered the underground parking lot of an apartment complex, coming to a stop in front of building number two.
"Why are we here?" Wayne said, a touch of guilt in his voice.
"I wanted to come, so here we are," Rosalynn replied, stepping out of the car.
Wayne hurried after her.
In the elevator, he asked again, "Are Cory and Ivy here too?"
Before his return, Wayne had braced himself to discuss with his kids the once looming decision to not have them. But that conversation wasn't meant for this immediate reunion. "If Cory and Ivy are here, they're bound to notice the crib in the study..."
"They're not here," Rosalynn shook her head then fixed a stern gaze on Wayne. "Don't you want to be with me? You keep asking about Cory and Ivy."
"Of course, I do!" Wayne blurted out, startled.
The elevator dinged at their floor.
Rosalynn pulled Wayne by the hand into the hallway. As the door closed behind them, she pressed him against it, her lips finding his in a tender kiss. Wayne was momentarily stunned. Then, with fervor, he wrapped his arms around Rosalynn, deepening the kiss, losing himself in the warmth of her embrace.
At that moment, the rest of the world ceased to exist for him. All that mattered was Rosalynn. This sweet reunion they had been yearning for was his solitary reality.
