Rosalind certainly believed Ulric’s words, but unfortunately, the real culprits behind these sins were more his parents than Sirena.
“I said, I want to see him alone.”
In the end, she chose not to rely on Ulric.
“Alright… I’ll wait for you outside.”
Ulric took a step back, watching her walk inside before turning around and heading to the car. He pulled out a cigarette from the pack and lit it.
On his phone, Cedric had sent numerous work documents.
Most of them were urgent, but Ulric couldn’t leave at this moment!
[Meeting postponed. For documents needing a stamp, get it yourself and say I approved it.]
[Okay, Mr. Walters.]
Cedric was always meticulous and rarely made mistakes, so Ulric trusted him.
He went back to the car to grab a cushion, then found a step to sit on and began responding to the documents that required his personal attention.
Before long, Cedric called again.
“Mr. Walters, are you not coming back to the office today?”
Ulric took a drag from his cigarette. “Not sure. Assume I’m not coming back.”
There was a brief hesitation on Cedric’s end before he responded with an “Okay.”
“If you have something to say, just say it.” Ulric knew he had something on his mind.
Cedric chuckled awkwardly before cautiously asking, “Mr. Walters, now that you know about the two children and your son has confirmed it himself, why not just tell Miss Ruell directly? You’ve already acquired Eastsun Corporation, and Miss Ruell has obediently returned to work!”
Mentioning Rosalind made Ulric raise his eyebrows with rare helplessness in his tone. “If I lay everything out now, she’ll run faster than a rabbit and wish I’d never find her again.”
“Then you can follow her! How could she get lost under your watch?”
“She would be constantly anxious. Rosalind has things on her mind; if I push too hard, she’ll only want to escape from me.”
For someone like Rosalind who lacks a sense of security, you can only slowly penetrate her defenses like boiling a frog in warm water!
Otherwise, despite her seemingly gentle exterior, she is fiercely stubborn! To get into her heart, you need to earn the key she willingly gives; otherwise, she’s someone who would rather destroy everything than give in.
The person most eager to keep Rosalind by his side forever was Ulric! How could he not have thought of what Cedric suggested?
Acquiring Eastsun Corporation had already heightened Rosalind’s anxiety. Any more aggressive actions now would definitely make her run!
Those few probing words earlier probably had Rosalind overthinking for days and losing sleep…
Sometimes Ulric felt that Rosalind had less sense of security than a child!
He had to consider multiple aspects before making a decision.
He also wanted to be willful, to act like a domineering CEO and simply lock her by his side! But that approach would drive Rosalind crazy.
“Mr. Walters, you really have it tough…” Cedric couldn’t help but sigh in admiration for his boss’s patience.
If it were him, he would have immediately picked up the kids and forced Rosalind to register for marriage!
“You know? Sometimes I feel I should be content.”
Back when he secretly loved Rosalind and didn’t get a response after confessing, he wished she could become his girlfriend for even just one day!
