The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1591

But Wayne clearly had other ideas.

"We don't have to beat around the bush. Let's cut to the chase."

If they were to talk about the five years between Wayne and Rosalynn, Jacob probably knew them better than they knew themselves.

About when exactly did Wayne start to have feelings for Rosalynn, even he couldn't pinpoint.

Jacob's guess? It was the third year after Rosalynn came into his life.

That was the only time during those five years when Wayne had introduced Rosalynn to his friends.

Though it was a fleeting moment.

After that, Wayne seemed to have realized something, and his attitude towards Rosalynn got worse and worse.

Jacob's take on this was, "You're trying to see if she would leave you just like Olivia Whaley did, right?"

Then came the argument and resignation over Rosalynn's engagement.

In losing Rosalynn, Wayne started to resort to all sorts of means including threats, deception, and even violence, in a desperate search for his inner self.

As Jacob spoke, Wayne's expression grew more and more solemn.

It wasn't until the life-or-death moment of Cory and Ivy on the operating table.

Listening to Jacob, Wayne's hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

It felt like he was hearing about a stranger.

He felt an overwhelming sense of shame and anger.

"Thank you," Wayne managed to say that, his voice trembling at the news of his children being saved by Jacob.
