This was a conversation Wayne had not shared with her before.
"Right, so heartbroken I coughed up blood." Wayne replied, his eyes downcast in a show of hurt.
"You thought I was with Evan?" Rosalynn gently asked.
"Viola told me she went to find you. Word on the street is that you're set to marry a jewelry tycoon. That tycoon is Evan." Wayne's hurt was evident with each word.
"That's just tabloid nonsense." Rosalynn's soft hand ran down Wayne's back as she spoke, "Do you know why I brought Evan here?"
Wayne shook his head.d2
Rosalynn gazed at the stunning coastline bathed in the setting sun, "Sean told me that when you visited this island, you stood here for a long time, saying that I would love it here. Then you decided to buy this place. You also told Sean that you wanted to build overwater bungalows here because I once mentioned that if we ever vacationed on an island, I would want us to stay in a beautiful water bungalow." Rosalynn looked at Wayne, "I brought Evan here and told him all of this. So, Mr. Silverman, while you were heartbroken and coughing up blood, I was rejecting a marriage proposal from a jewelry tycoon for you, and at that time, I didn't even know if you were still alive."
Wayne couldn't help but smile at this.
"You were so weak and yet you coughed up blood, you poor baby." Rosalynn's hand rested over Wayne's heart.
She truly cared for him.
"No matter how pitiful I was then, I'm not anymore." Wayne stretched his arm out, gently enveloping Rosalynn, his chin resting on her head, "And I won't be in the future."
Rosalynn laughed, hugging Wayne back.
The sea breeze was soft, as if unwilling to disturb the couple who had overcome so many obstacles to be together.
After their walk, they headed home.
Rosalynn received a call from Penn Lange.
"Ms. Jared, I've returned to H City and have quite a bit of free time. You can schedule an appointment at your convenience." Penn's voice was as soothing as ever.
"My husband and I are currently abroad on business and won't return to H City until tomorrow. Would the day after tomorrow morning work for you?"
Tomorrow, after arriving in H City, she would have to attend a meeting at Bane Corporation to discuss the follow-up to the Island Project.
"That's fine, do you know the address?"
