Chapter 2265
"Nothing!" Rosalynn ended the call and tossed her phone aside. No sooner had she done so than the bed dipped on the other side and an arm encircled her waist, pulling her into a slightly cool embrace. Wayne had just taken a shower, his body still carrying the refreshing dampness of it, and he cuddled up to Rosalynn from behind, his lips grazing the smooth skin of her neck.
"Still up for a movie tonight?" he murmured into her ear.
"Give me a moment," Rosalynn replied, playfully scratching Wayne's chin, "maybe later."
Wayne visibly relished the contact, becoming a tad restless, but seeing Rosalynn's fatigue, he quickly settled down, turned her to face him, and kissed her with an intensity as if he could never get enough. Rosalynn, half-asleep and too weary to resist, let Wayne have his way.d2
Before long, she had drifted into slumber.
Perhaps it was the earlier call from Felix, mentioning Rose, that influenced her dreams, for in her sleep, she saw Betsy.
There was no interaction, just a vision of Betsy standing amidst the mists, silent and unreachable.
Rosalynn woke before long. The dream had been brief, but outside the darkness had settled in.
Wayne was fast asleep beside her, holding her tight. Rosalynn watched him for a while.
Fate had been exceedingly generous with Wayne's looks. Despite all the life-threatening incidents, his attractiveness hadn't diminished one bit from his younger days. If only Wayne hadn't been so handsome, Rosalynn mused, perhaps she wouldn't have fallen so hard.
After a moment, she leaned in and kissed Wayne's lips, intending it to be a brief peck.
But just as she was about to pull away, the hand around her waist pulled her back, deepening the kiss she had meant to be fleeting.
"Have you been pretending to sleep?" Rosalynn lightly tapped him.
Keeping his eyes closed, Wayne chuckled, "No, your kiss stirred me awake."
"Ah, trying to play Sleeping Beauty with me?" Rosalynn stretched lazily in his arms, "Hey Wayne, do you know where Betsy is buried?"Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Caught off guard, Wayne opened his eyes and gently shook her chin, "Why bring this up all of a sudden? Bad dream?"
"Not really a bad dream, just a dream," Rosalynn mimicked his earlier gesture, shaking his chin in return, "It's just that everything seems settled now. I admired and felt sorry for her, so I thought... I'd like to pay my respects."
Drawing her closer into his embrace, Wayne affirmed, "That sounds appropriate. I should pay my respects too."
"Betsy?" Rosalynn could sense the fluctuation in Wayne's emotions.
"Ayden." Wayne kissed Rosalynn's earlobe softly before adding, "Betsy and Ayden are buried together."
The Silverman Group owned a private section in a cemetery known for its prime location.
Including Maddie Fuller, who after her death was laid to rest there.
Only Ayden and Natalie were absent.
In the final phase of Ayden's life, Natalie became acutely aware of his disdain for the Silverman family name. After his tragic end, Natalie chose a spot in the place where Ayden and Betsy had hoped to settle, found a beautiful resting place, and buried them together, side by side.
