The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 2258

So, in those five years, Rosalynn bore no resentment towards Wayne.

After all, he had spent the money to keep her dear Grandma around and secured her a well-paying job that taught her heaps.

They were never romantically involved to begin with. So, it was only natural that Wayne kept his emotions in check.

But when Wayne started to cling on and show her feelings he'd never displayed before, things took on a different vibe.

If he truly loved her, then all his prior actions towards her took on a cruel shade.

After dinner, Wayne tossed the dishes into the dishwasher.d2

Then, hand in hand with Rosalynn, they stepped out for an evening stroll to aid digestion.

"By the way, the florist mentioned they're getting a batch of sunflowers soon. They're your daughter's favorite. When we head back to Moonlit Lake, make sure to pick up a bunch for her," Rosalynn said, swinging their clasped hands.

A married couple approached from the opposite direction, and they passed each other.

For some reason, Wayne felt a sense of joy.

Himself and his wife, acting much like the most commonplace couple on Earth, sharing a meal together followed by a leisurely hand-in-hand stroll. This feeling filled him with immense contentment and a tinge of regret.

He could have had this simple treasure much earlier.

"Talking to you here," Rosalynn squeezed Wayne's hand.

"I heard you. We’ll buy the whole lot," Wayne said with a laugh in his voice. "But... if we get Ivy flowers, what do we get for Cory?"

The couple exchanged a glance, both falling into thought.

It wasn't for nothing; Cory was a kid without many personal likes. And as for electronics, he already had the top-of-the-line gear.

"I've got it, something he'll love," Rosalynn said with a smile.
