" This ... it doesn't feel right . The viewers want to see Rosalie , not us . " Weston's words came out with difficulty . After all , who wouldn't be tempted by such luxuries ? Just then , Holden , freshly washed , came downstairs and spotted Grayson talking with the crew . He blinked , then piped up in his childish voice , " Everyone , morning ! " Seeing the cameras turn toward him , he frowned . " The livestream's already on ? " " Yes , " Weston said quickly . " But your mom isn't up yet . Could you take us to wake her up ? Otherwise the audience is going to get impatient . " For Weston , the boy was like a savior . Holden looked conflicted . " Can't you let Mommy sleep a bit longer ? She hasn't been well , and yesterday she took me and Alex out all day , then stayed up late with us at night . " Though she had changed so much yesterday , he still wasn't sure if waking her abruptly would trigger her old temper - especially in front of so many viewers . " I'm afraid not ," Weston replied under Lincoln's direction . " If you don't wake her , then we'll have to . " Holden frowned . " But isn't today supposed to show our daily life with Mommy ? And her daily life at this time is sleeping . Wouldn't forcing her up be faking it ? " " Still , it's your mom's livestream . How can she not show her face ? " Weston said , hesitating . He wasn't wrong , but ... After a standoff , Holden gave in , leading them upstairs . " Hey , where's your brother ? He's not up yet ? " Weston asked as they walked . Holden nodded . " He usually wakes up after me . Should I call him too ? " His bright eyes looked up hopefully . The crew shook their heads . Rejected again , Holden didn't pout . He kept walking , quietly hoping Rosalie had at least locked her door the night before . But- No such luck .. 1/3 Sep The audience wasn't the only one suspicious . Even the crew sensed something off . Thankfully , Grayson appeared with a spare key . The door swung open- And everyone saw Holden leaning over Rosalie's bed , gently nudging her . " Mommy , the crew is here to wake you up ! " Rosalie grunted , rolled over , and ignored him . " Mommy , wake up ! " Holden urged , shaking her shoulder . Rosalie gave a drowsy hum , then yanked the pillow over her head , blocking him out . " Hahaha Rosalie : not listening , not listening ! " " Holden's so gentle - don't tell me Rosalie's got a serious case of morning grumpiness ? " " Girl , you might be onto something . " " Now I'm a little scared . " Holden was flustered by her reaction . He looked helplessly at Weston . Weston just gave him a sympathetic thumbs - up . Sighing , Holden tried again . Rosalie groaned , " Baby , don't make noise . I'm so sleepy ... " Her eyes fluttered half open . She glanced at Holden , then stretched out her arms . Suddenly , the boy was yanked off balance and tumbled into her warm , fragrant embrace . For a moment , his mind went blank . Then he instinctively tried to wriggle free . But Rosalie locked her arms and legs around him , trapping him completely . " Mommy ... " Holden tilted his head up , 2/3 12:08 Thu , Sep 18 Chapter 22 Morning Drama Rosalie pressed him back into her chest , mumbling sleepily , " Don't talk . " This time , he fell silent .

" " You can tell she's genuinely exhausted . So what time did she go to bed last night ? " " Even asleep she's gorgeous . I could watch her like this all day !
