The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 2026

Penn's gaze seemed to hold a power that could pierce through anything and everything.

As he turned his eyes towards Rosalynn, she suddenly felt a twinge of unease, "We have to get going. We'll take our leave now."

"Alright." Penn replied, nodding gently.

Without further delay, Rosalynn hooked her arm through Wayne's and they made their way out of the hospital.

Seeing that it was almost time for Cory and Ivy to get out of school, Wayne suggested they pick up the kids on their way home. Rosalynn agreed.

Throughout the journey, she did her best to appear as normal as possible. But Wayne could still sense her unease.d2

Usually, they would pick up Ivy first, but today, Rosalynn and Wayne decided to pick up Cory first. Cory was surprised to see his parents waiting for him outside school, and he took a moment to process the situation.

Wayne gave him a warm smile and waved him over, "C'mon bud, let's go pick up your sister together."

Cory, usually a slowpoke, immediately quickened his pace, "Didn't we agree to pick up Ivy first? We can't let her wait alone." Despite his words, Rosalynn could tell he was delighted.

"Dad, what happened to your hand?” Cory’s gaze landed on the bandaged hand of Wayne, his small face instantly creased with worry.

“I was careless cutting myself.” Wayne bent down to explain to his son, “I’m sorry for making you worry, bud. I’ll be more careful next time.”

“Okay.” Cory said, his eyes shifting to Rosalynn.

"Alright, daddy will be very careful in the future."

"No, daddy should listen to mommy. I listen to mommy and so does Cory!"

Rosalynn looked at her daughter, and she smiled softly. No matter how rough the road ahead, she had to be strong, even if it was just for Cory and Ivy.

The car was filled with chatter and laughter, lifting the atmosphere significantly. Even the gloom in Rosalynn's heart was dispelled somewhat.

Upon returning to their home at Moonlit Lake. Rosalynn excused herself to the study under the pretense of work. After sitting down at her computer, she zoned out for a while.
