The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1796

Her steps slowed, pausing in her tracks.

The car key was gripped a little tighter in her hand. She couldn't afford to harbor any hopes. Otherwise, the one ending up as the butt of the jokes would always be her.

Seeing her standing still, Morrison rolled down the car window, casting her a cold glance.

"What are you waiting for? Get in."

Rose blinked, her feet moving towards the car before she could even process his words. "Wh… why…"

Morrison gripped the steering wheel with one hand, his arm resting on the edge of the car window. He turned his head, lifting his gaze to look at her, a slight furrow in his brow as he reiterated, "Hurry up."d2

He exhaled a sigh of impatience, and the next moment, he was out of the car. He walked over to Rose, grabbed her arm, opened the passenger door, and bundled her into the car.

Rose tried her best to cooperate throughout, afraid of accidentally bumping into her belly. However, in the end, nothing happened. Morrison's actions were far from gentle, but he always managed to avoid any possible danger.

The car was still warm as he closed the door behind her. Then, he got back behind the wheel.

Rose began to untie the scarf from around her neck, her movements sluggish. Her mind was in turmoil.

Suddenly, Morrison leaned in. His familiar, overpowering scent washed over her, causing her to hold her breath. She moved back in her seat, her eyes widened with surprise at his closeness.

He had freshened up quickly, the scent of a recently used toiletry mingling with a hint of the cold from outside, making her mind even more muddled.

Morrison simply reached out, pulling her seat belt over her, clicking it into place on the other side. He then adjusted the belt slightly, avoiding her rounded belly.

This small action, inexplicably, filled Rose's heart with a warm, sweet sensation, mixed with a rush of excitement and happiness.

He cared.

He cared about the baby in her belly.

He could actually be so considerate to worry about the seat belt hurting her belly.

She had always been unsure about how Morrison felt about this baby. At first, he indeed wanted her to get rid of it. He seemed so repulsed. But today, he seemed different.

She bit her lip, watching him, not knowing what he was thinking.

In fact, even Morrison didn't know what he was thinking. It was simply a matter of what he wanted, and what made him happy. Why bother thinking too much?

After securing her seat belt, he glanced at her, "You're so slow to get things done, how can you manage so many employees?"

Rose held back a smile. This man, could only be a gentleman for three seconds. "I'm not like this at work."

Morrison didn't respond, just stared at her for a few moments before starting up the car.

"I have a prenatal check-up today." said Rose.

Morrison's face remained cold, "Yes, I'll take you to work."

Rose gaped at him, "Morrison, today is my prenatal check-up."

The car started to move, "You don't seem to be in any discomfort."

"You... stop the car!"

Rose was almost furious. She had been scared to death yesterday. Dr. Danny made it sound so critical, even advancing her check-up to today, and he just said it was nothing.

But of course, Morrison didn't listen to her. He just sped up the car.

When Rose realized the car was not heading towards her office or Witt Co., her stern expression changed.

As the car finally stopped at the hospital, her face seemed to darken a little more. She unbuckled her seat belt, and before she could finish putting on her scarf, Morrison had already gotten out of the car and opened her door.

She got out of the car, staring up at Morrison's handsome face.

Morrison closed the car door and looked down at the woman who only came up to his jaw and was now glaring at him with an unpleasant expression. A hint of a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, but he asked, "What are you looking at?"

Rose took a deep breath, then stomped on his foot as hard as she could.

Caught off guard, Morrison winced, stepping back and shaking his foot to alleviate the sudden pain. Only then did he look at Rose.

She was glaring at him furiously.

He paused, realizing that she was angry. Looking down at his polished shoe with a clear footprint, he looked at her with a smirk, "Crazy woman."

"Serves you right!"

Rose retorted angrily, then stormed off. She just unnecessarily got angry all the way.

Still, Morrison followed her.

Feeling him behind her, Rose couldn't help but smile.

From the moment he stepped out of the door to now, her suspicions were completely confirmed. His method was somewhat despicable though.

Hospitals were always bustling with people, especially in the morning.

There were people coming to appointments for examinations, family members visiting patients, and doctors, and nurses coming and going for their shifts.

The luxurious car Morrison drove naturally attracted a few gazes. Coupled with his handsome appearance, elegant demeanor, and his statues as a well-known figure in R City, from the moment he stepped out of the car, he attracted numerous glances.

Rose's sudden stomp on his foot had even elicited a few laughs from the bystanders. Everyone saw Rose stomp on Morrison's foot with apparent force, but how strong could a pregnant woman be?

It was rare to see the couple together like this. Rose's appearance, which seemed like venting frustration, was actually more like engaging in playful banter and teasing.

"I thought Mr. Witt and his wife were not on good terms? They don't look like it to me."

"Who knows what goes on between a husband and wife? Outsiders can only speculate."

"You can’t judge the affairs of a wealthy family by appearance alone. What you see is often just the surface."

Rose once again went to Dr. Danny's office.

Danny was slumped in his chair, seemingly half-asleep, his expression weary. He stretched, letting out a yawn, and his gaze lingered on Morrison for a moment before he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Taking your role as a protective father seriously today, huh? Scared someone else might swoop in and claim the title?"

Morrison's face was stone-cold, his jaws clenched. Fearful that he might actually lash out at Dr. Danny, Rose quickly stepped forward. "Dr. Danny, can I proceed with the check-up now?"

Danny sighed, getting up from his chair and buttoning up his white lab coat. "Of course, let's go."

Rose hesitated, giving him a surprised look. "You seem a bit..."

Danny raised an eyebrow, "What?"

Rose shook her head and followed him out of the room.
