The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1528

Max couldn't resist the temptation, took the chicken breast, and ran off joyfully.

Wayne was about to pick up the basket, but Cory beat him to it.

Cory's still quiet all the time, not calling "dad" often after that day. But whenever Wayne needed him, Cory would always be there to lend a helping hand.

"Thanks, Cory," Wayne said gently.

Cory nodded and continued to walk forward in silence.

Wayne spent more time outside today than usual.

By the time he got home, his legs were aching, but he didn't say a word.

He hung out in the living room for a while before Rosalynn took him back to his room.

After Wayne came back, he stuck to one thing.

He wouldn't let anyone help him take a bath, not even Rosalynn.

It wasn't for any other reason but the fact that he was well aware of the scars on his body, which scared the living daylights out of him.

So, he didn't want Rosalynn to see them.

While Wayne was taking a bath, Rosalynn waited outside just in case he fell.

After he finished his bath, Rosalynn helped him dry his hair.

The two spent a lot of time up close and personal.

Rosalynn's hand slipped into Wayne's pajamas, her fingertips tracing his scars gently.

Each touch made her heart ache a little more.

"It'll get better," Wayne grabbed her hand, his voice slightly hoarse.
