" You little brat , stop right there or I'll beat you to death today ! " Rosalie tore after him . Morris : " Heh heh heh ! " Did she think he was stupid enough to stand still and let her hit him ? It all happened so fast that by the time Holden registered it , Rosalie and Morris were long gone . He turned to Christopher , exasperated . " Now what ? " " The guards followed them , " Christopher replied . The unspoken message : relax , they won't get away . Holden nodded , frowning . " I think Morris did it on purpose . Mom just went along with it ." " Yes . They're a good match in mischief . " 47 % Finished Christopher hadn't expected Rosalie to react to him like this . The whole situation was almost comical . Alex piped up , " But Mom's really cute like this . I like it ! " " She's not just cute - she's lively . So different from the gloomy woman she used to be . But Dad , Mom said she wants to help Sean , even claimed she has a company . Does she ? " Holden asked curiously . " I don't know , " " Christopher admitted . " But if she says so , I'd believe it . " " Then why didn't she ever mention it before ? " Before marrying , Christopher had looked into Rosalie's past . But only her upbringing , not the details of her assets . He truly didn't know how many companies , houses , or fortunes were in her name . Father and sons walked on as they spoke . Before long , Rosalie returned , hauling Morris back under the guards ' watch . Her cheeks were flushed from running , her whole face glowing like peach blossoms . Stunning - and nothing like before . Christopher's sharp gaze lingered on her as she approached . " Dad , " Morris muttered , head down . Christopher raised an eyebrow . " Lost the race ?

Shame prickled at her , leaving her unable to meet his eyes . But she refused to lose face in front of the kids . Still - it was so embarrassing ! Inside , she was screaming . Morris , of course , egged it on . " Yeah , why didn't you call him bro today ? " She glared at him . He smirked back , eyes full of mischief , Rosalie narrowed her eyes , then suddenly squeezed a bit of flesh at his waist . Out loud , she forced herself to sound casual . " It feels a little disrespectful to call you that to your face . But since you don't mind , fine . Were you here for me , or for him ? " " Disrespectful ? " Christopher mused . " Sounds like you're accusing me of being a tyrant . " Rosalie : " ??? " How is that the point ? Shouldn't the point be why this CEO was chasing her around a mall instead of working ? But his sheer presence crushed her protests . Especially when his dark eyes locked on hers - deep , unreadable , making her feel strangely guilty . Her gaze skittered away .
