If we work together as husband and wife , nothing can stop us ! " Seeing that Christopher seemed to already have a plan in mind , Rosalie didn't press further . Hugging her bouquet , she quickly caught up to him . The words had barely left her mouth before regret flickered through her mind , but ... She nudged Christopher with her elbow . He lowered his head to look at her . She leaned closer , lowering her voice so only he could hear . " This might be a little inappropriate to bring up , but Morris isn't a little kid anymore . He's tall , handsome , and clearly not short of girls who like him - just like you . Kids these days grow up fast . You really should have a proper talk with him about ... that side of things . Don't get embarrassed . I'm not worried about him hurting some poor girl . I'm more afraid of him being the one taken advantage of . Remember , you were once ... " Christopher suddenly snapped his head toward her . Rosalie's face flushed bright red , but she still rushed to explain . " I just mean , I brought him on TV with me today . He's got your face - that same dangerous charm . Add to that the fact he's from a wealthy , powerful family , and I'm worried the wrong people might target him . He's at a rebellious age , after all . You'd better be prepared . " She tried to scurry off after blurting it all out , but Christopher's hand shot out and caught her . " Where are you running to ? " His voice was as calm and even as always , yet beneath the coolness Rosalie sensed danger . A chill slid down her spine . " I - I'm not running ," she stammered . Christopher imitated her . " N - not running , so why st - stammer ? " Rosalie jerked her head up to glare at him . Their eyes met . His sword - straight brows lifted slightly , his dark eyes gleaming with a charm so sharp and magnetic that Rosalie's brain buzzed and went blank . At first , Morris hadn't understood what Rosalie was whispering about . But when it finally clicked , his face turned crimson with shame and fury . He wanted to confront her , but she kept her head down , whispering endlessly to his father . So when he noticed her flustered expression , he leaned in with a smirk . " Hey , what were you just whispering to my dad about that's got your face redder than a monkey's butt ? Don't tell me you two were talking about something not fit for kids ? " He murmured the last part right in her ear . Rosalie snapped back to her senses , grabbed his ear , and twisted . " Morris , keep it up and I'll give you a beating ! " " What ? Did I say anything wrong ? You're clearly the one embarrassed ! " 1/3 12.15 Thu , Sep 18 Chapter 47 Whispered Worries " You dare keep talking ! " 19 47 % Finished As the two of them started bickering and grappling again , Christopher could only shake his head . He decisively took Holden and Alex with him and walked ahead . The two younger boys exchanged helpless glances . They were used to their mother and eldest brother fighting at the drop of a hat , and had no intention of interfering . Between the three of them , they figured they already supplied enough filial piety . After another round of " battle , " Rosalie eventually claimed victory as Morris once again admitted defeat . Only after stepping inside did Rosalie realize Christopher had brought them to a restaurant with a unique heritage . The place was run by descendants of imperial chefs , the family's skills passed down for generations . The wealthy owner had no need for the money - he ran it purely as a passion . Meals had to be booked in advance , and only friends were served . So tonight , the place was empty except for them . The private surroundings and the exquisite food made the experience extraordinary . At first , Rosalie wanted to maintain her lady - like image in front of Christopher and eat sparingly . But the moment she had a bowl of rice in front of her , all restraint went out the window . Seeing her eat with such relish , the four men followed suit . Each of them ended up eating half a bowl or even a whole bowl more than usual . By the end of the meal , all five of them were stuffed , slumped back in their seats . Christopher had never experienced anything like it . He wasn't one to indulge in food , yet tonight he'd made an exception . And when it was time to say goodbye to Rosalie and the boys , he felt a faint reluctance . A warm , lively family dinner , filled with laughter and easy bickering - that was something he had never known . Rosalie's vibrant energy made her shine like a little sun , drawing everyone toward her without effort . On the ride back , Christopher suddenly asked , " Do you think Madam's changed a lot ? " Orlando hesitated , then nodded . " Honestly ? Very much so . " " But the change isn't unpleasant , is it ? In fact , she's ... rather likable ." Orlando could see it clearly - Christopher liked this new Rosalie . That was why his boss's eyes kept following her . From start to finish , his gaze never left her . 213 12:15 Thu , Sep 18 GO .
