Chapter 58 - Rose
“Sorry, I should have taken you somewhere that had better food. Maybe then your mood would be better.” Aaron sighed, almost guilty, as the two got out of the car towards the mansion "I usually tend to just like your food, especially the sweets, but honestly I thought that better would be better than it actually was..."
"Don't worry. Everything was good, really.” Rose hastened to assure her, feeling more delighted than usual at having him compliment her on her cooking, "And even if he wasn't... Eating and talking was just what I needed to bring my mind to another place." she admitted ruefully, “So… Thanks for today, Aaron. For everything."“The Springs will pay for what they are trying to do, I promise.” he assured her, in the same tone of voice she had seen him use to threaten Alphonse."I just hope that Grace really isn't putting herself in any danger going to meet that man tomorrow..." Rose sighed, troubled "God, everythingRelated chapters

“What the fuck is this?!” Aaron growled, and even from outside his office, Rose could hear him slamming his fist against the desk hard enough to make the cup of tea Jullian had just placed on it clink.“This is complete nonsense!” Adele sat next to Rose, in exactly the same furious tone as he was, as she held an empty glass of water after having taken the tranquilizer that obviously wasn't having much effect “How dare you desecrate Imogen's memory like that? She was a saint who never even dared look at another man while she was still married! Very different from that Alphonse shit...”"I can't understand why they would think that such a ridiculous plan as saying you two aren't his biological children could work..." Rose sighed, holding her temples between her hands as she looked back towards the office where Aaron and Andy were privately arguing, clearly needing to be alone to figure out what they would do in the face of their father's n

"It better work this time, Alphonse!" a female voice snarled, letting Rose know they were in front of the right room even before Adele told her “My card was declined yesterday because I had no credit limit and I was only able to buy half of what I needed! You've been promising me that you're going to win this lawsuit for years, and every time that son of a bitch of yours manages to stop it, no matter how many people I've hired or how much money I've invested! This one better work, or you're going to have to find another idiot who's willing to do all the heavy lifting for you!”“Take it easy, Hazel…” a male voice that Rose had never heard before replied “This time is different from the others. We are not dealing with papers drawn up by an amateur or a cowardly judge who is unwilling to lose office in order to keep the decision in our favor. This right here is the best chance we've ever had in our hands. It is enough to know how to use these t

"Oh, God..." Jullian wailed, though he looked a little less stunned than Adele, and Rose wasn't the last to notice it."Did you know that?" she gasped, still stunned."Of course not. But... Before I left the office, Aaron had just opened an email full of image files he had received and... The minute he and Andrea looked at the photos, they asked me to leave, because they needed to talk.” Jullian said, with a heavy sigh, “That's why I tried to let you know that this situation didn't seem to be just another case of Alphonse trying to outwit a judge. The expression on Aron and Andy's faces made that very clear."“This... This can't be true!” Adele shook her head, troubled, before turning back to her son, her eyes blazing, “You! You manipulated these photos just to try to destabilize our family, right?”“Why, is that the only thing you have to say to your poor betrayed son, heartbroken to discover he had an unfaithful wife, A

“Where were you?” the first thing Rose, Adele, and Jullian saw, as they entered the hall next to Aaron's office, was Andy running out the door, distressed and with red, slightly puffy eyes, as if she'd been crying, “Please, Grandma, tell me it wasn't doing what I think it was...”“You already saw those pictures.” Adele spoke, making it clear that this was not a question, as she knew her granddaughter well enough to know that this was a certainty “And, yes, I went to see Alphonse. It may not have been pleasant, but I don't regret it.”“Oh, Grandma…” Andy wailed, his black eyes filling with tears again “If Aaron and I didn't tell you right away, it's because we wanted to find the right way to do it, so it wouldn't be such a heavy blow...”“I'm not as fragile as you think, Andrea.” Adele shook her head, interrupting her granddaughter “This family is my priority and I want to

"Are you well?" the sound of Rose's voice sounded behind him, but Aaron's body and mind were so exhausted that he couldn't find the strength to even move towards her, sitting on the small loveseat on the same small porch where he had realized he was in love with her the previous Christmas.Apparently, it was becoming a tradition for him to come here whenever he found himself at a loss for what to do."I will stay." he replied, still with his eyes focused on the quiet garden in front of him, bathed in the sunlight of that early afternoon "I think I just need to... Think a little."“Jullian wanted to know if you wanted to have lunch with us…” she seemed to be trying to ask casually, although it was very clear to Aaron how worried she was about him, as she moved close enough to sit next to him “Or if you would like the food was served for you here.”“I'm not hungry right now…” Aaron replied, not mentioning the fact t

“Are you sure you want to go alone, Andy?” Rose asked her friend worriedly, though she still didn't know exactly why it was so worrying that she was about to meet that man named Gabriel "“Me or your brother or anyone else can just wait outside the building you’re going to and...”"I appreciate your concern, Rose." Andy smiled fondly, not looking as nervous as she had the day before when all that news had dawned on everyone “But, I need to do this alone. Not only to finally understand what was between that man and my mother and if there is any possibility that Aaron and I are not Alphonse's children... But also because Gabriel and I have a score to settle, as much as I've tried to forget that he existed, after all these years.” lowering his head, Andy looked at his fingernails for a moment, before finally sighing, “I know this sounds hard to believe, because you don't know exactly what's going on and my brother must be acting like

“Have you really never melted chocolate before?” Rose laughed for the millionth time in just the last five minutes as she watched Aaron struggle to flip the small, still solid chocolate chunks with the spatula without them jumping out of the glass bowl into the pot filled with warm water.“Don't make fun of me, I had already warned you that at the bank we don't learn to do any of that.” Aaron snorted, looking almost on the verge of sweating as he gently stirred the chocolate, “Why don't we do this in the microwave, by the way? Wouldn't that be much more practical?"“Some people think so, but I particularly don't. In order to melt correctly, chocolate needs to be stirred properly and, by staying in the microwave, it is not always possible to do this correctly. And believe me, everything is much better when you eat chocolate that is smooth and creamy, rather than burned or lumpy.” she taught, feeling happier than she knew to have him
How to Divorce a Grumpy Billionaire Chapter 66 - Rose
In the stillness of the night, when she was alone with her feelings, desires and all the awkwardness she felt, Rose had often imagined what it would feel like to kiss Aaron and sometimes even to do something more. But perhaps because of how inexperienced she was with that sort of thing, none of her fantasies had prepared her for the way his lips felt warm and gentle against hers. Or the way his hands soon left her face to wrap tightly around her waist and press her body even closer to his, until Rose had the feeling that she could feel his heartbeat.And, as much as in all the mental images she had made about that moment she just panicked and ran away from him, not knowing what to do, what happened was not surprising. On the contrary, her body seemed to take on a mind of its own the instant she realized that she was indeed kissing Aaron, and without any hesitation, her arms wrapped around his neck, not only accepting his lips against hers, but also demanding that the kiss become
