At this moment, the children seemed to be more mature than these adults.
Jamie and Orval were at loggerheads over a game.
Rosalynn tried to mediate but was met with childish retorts.
Finally, Jamie, who was ready to challenge Orval to a duel, was pacified. Rosalynn instinctively looked at Wayne.
Wayne was leaning against the sofa, engrossed in replying to a message, his features softened by the screen light.
Wayne was a bit off today, Rosalynn noticed earlier.d2
Though in the past, it was normal for Wayne to be unreachable when he was tied up with work.
But since his amnesia, even when they hadn't made up, Wayne would always call during lunchtime if he wasn't with her and the kids.
Especially now, when Wayne wasn't completely in charge of Bane Corporation.
There was no way he could be as busy as before.
Moreover...
Rosalynn glanced at her fingertips.
The old wounds on Wayne's body had scabbed over, but he hated the scars and always applied a specially formulated ointment, which left a faint medicinal scent on him.
But today, Rosalynn detected a different aroma on Wayne.
It was like the smell of disinfectant.
After a while, it was time for the children to go back to their rooms for rest.
Rosalynn asked Wayne to tell their daughter a bedtime story.
Once he entered Ivy's room, Rosalynn quietly left, quickly finding Ableson, who was in conversation with Felix.
"Ma'am." Felix was quick to notice Rosalynn's presence and turned to greet her.
Ableson quickly followed suit. He looked the same as always.
"Was someone spreading rumors?" Ableson's expression hardened. "You and Mr. Silverman have come a long way, and I won't tolerate people trying to sow discord. Tell me who it is, I'll make them pay!"
Rosalynn gave Ableson a meaningful look.
Feeling a chill run down his spine, Ableson persisted. "Ma'am, Mr. Silverman truly loves you!"
"Whether he loves me or not, I know better than you," Rosalynn said as she turned to leave. Before she did, she added, "Remember to bring back Wayne's cane tomorrow. It's a treasured gift for him."
"Yes, ma'am!" Ableson quickly agreed.
Once Rosalynn left, Ableson slumped.
How was he supposed to know where the cane was?
All he could do was ask Wayne about it tomorrow...

The next day, Wayne was up early.
