The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1102

Hilaria clasped Rosalyn's hand tightly.

"Absolutely!"

After a leisurely chat with her granddaughter, Hilaria felt a slight relief from her burden, and exhaustion soon followed.

Rosalyn guided her back to her room and stretched in the living room. Seeing the family portrait on the wall stirred mixed feelings in her.

She walked over, picked up the frame, and gently traced the smiling faces with her fingers. It was quite amazing that apart from her, Cory, Ivy, and Hilaria, none of them were biologically related, yet their bond was stronger than any blood relation.

The sound of a car engine came from outside, and Rosalyn, looking at the time, guessed it must be Wayne returning home. Glancing at the photo in her hand, she wondered if it was time for a new one.

The front door opened, and as Rosalyn looked, Wayne caught sight of her and walked over with a gentle smile, pulling her into his arms without a word.

"Finished?" Rosalyn asked.

"Not yet." Wayne shook his head. "I'll continue tomorrow."

"I told you not to come back if it got too late. It takes over an hour to drive back and forth." Rosalyn said helplessly.

"No way." Wayne nuzzled into Rosalyn's neck. "I can't sleep without you next to me. How can I deal with things tomorrow if I don't get a good night's sleep?"

"Don't make excuses. You've been without me plenty of times." Rosalyn slapped him lightly and said, "You're holding too tight. Loosen up."
