Chloe nodded seriously, lifting their intertwined hands, gently caressing her cheek with the back of her hand.
"You're so beautiful, so perfect. How could you not be? It was Morrison who couldn't see the truth. I believe that in the future, Morrison will fall head over heels for you and won't be able to live without you."
"Haha, then I might get annoyed."

The next day, Chloe drove Rose to the airport, checked in her luggage early, and stayed with Rose waiting for Morrison.
In the morning, Rose insisted on leaving early, so Chloe bought her some breakfast on the way. Although she didn't eat much on the way, she was hungry again and started munching.
Chloe smiled quietly. Rose never ate more than three meals a day. Her self-control was always incredible, sometimes awe-inspiring. Now, she ate whenever she was hungry. Guess this was what being pregnant did to a woman...
Thinking about Damon's firm stand against having children, she still felt a bit down. Did he just not want kids because it was more convenient?
Rose was having a baby, and she didn't want her child to have a big age gap with Rose's, which would make pairing them off tough in the future...
After Rose finished eating, she glanced at the time.
"It's nine o'clock. Morrison should be here."
Her face didn't show much emotion, but the faint gleam in her eyes couldn't be hidden. Laid-back, confident women could still feel a bit anxious when it came to love.
"Call me the moment you reach R city, got it?"
"Got it."
"I'm heading to R city the day after tomorrow. Just send me your address then, no need to pick me up."
Rose sighed, "Alright, alright. If you keep saying that, why don't you just come with me to R city."
Chloe pretended to be angry, "Really, Rose? You're already sick of me and you haven't even seen Morrison yet?"
Rose raised an eyebrow, "Who would dare? I still need you to have my back."
After saying that, she looked at her watch again. Chloe gave her a glance and didn't say anything. After a while, Chloe furrowed her brows.
"Did Morrison's flight get delayed?"
Rose's face was a bit pale, and she shook her head, "No, his flight landed on time."
Chloe squinted her eyes, "Call him!"
Rose took out her phone with a numb look, her slender fingers paused slightly on the screen. Chloe saw that she had already tried calling him dozens of times. But Rose still dialed the number, put the phone to her ear, and the sound of the phone being off came through.
Rose listened to the same sound over and over again on the phone, her expression eerily calm.
Chloe swallowed hard, then took the phone from Rose's ear. The call had already ended automatically, Chloe dialed again, and after hearing the "sorry" sound, she put away the phone with a cold face.
At that moment, an announcement for the security check started playing in the airport, Rose finally blinked her eyes and slowly stood up.
