The old lady gave Morrison a stern look, then hobbled over to Rose, gently taking her hand into her own.
"Rose, don't be scared. I got your back and I won't let anyone mess with you!" She said.
Rose was still processing what was happening when she looked up at Morrison, only to see him standing there with a dark expression, without saying a word.
She knew the old lady. She was Morrison's grandma Megan. She had met her when she went to his house during school days.
"I..." Rose said.
"Don't be scared. You're having a baby, so we're basically family now. I liked you the minute I saw you. You like Morrison, and Morrison likes you too! Now you guys are having a baby, isn't it great? Let's go home and talk about getting you guys hitched!" Megan said.
Chloe couldn't help but chuckle. Were all old people this adorable nowadays?
"Grandma!" Morrison called out, clearly displeased. "When did I ever say I liked her?!"
"What the hell are you playing at?! Lashing out at me, I'll teach you a lesson!" Megan retorted even more angrily, raising her cane and whacking Morrison a couple of times.
The sight of a dashing man in an expensive suit getting a beating from an old lady with a cane was rather comical.
Rose couldn't help but laugh. Although it seemed like the old lady was whacking Morrison, she could tell that she wasn't exactly putting a lot of force into it. Sure, it probably stung a bit, but it was definitely within Morrison's tolerance limit.
Served him right for being put in his place!
Hearing Rose's laughter, Morrison shot her a frosty look.
Chloe, standing aside, watched everything quietly before she finally spoke up, "We can't sort this out here, Rose. Let's head back first."
