Whispers of Destiny: His Belated Love novel Chapter 192

When Rosemary walked in with breakfast, the tension in the hospital room was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Maxwell and Hogan looked like they were seconds away from throwing punches at each other.

She'd only been gone for half an hour, and these two old geezers were at it again?

Her arrival was like a pebble tossed into a still pond, shattering the calm and creating a ripple effect.

Maxwell shot Rosemary a glacial glance, got up from the bed, and headed straight for the door. He was still in yesterday's clothes, wrinkled like they'd been fished out of a trash can, especially around the collar. There was even a bruise on his neck from where the collar had dug in.

As he brushed past her, he said coldly, "Rosemary, you and him are really buddy-buddy, aren't you?"

His voice was so low it was practically frozen over.

They'd even discussed whether he could cut the mustard. What’s next, comparing who's the top dog?

Rosemary was a walking question mark.

But Maxwell wasn't in the mood to clear things up for her. He left her hanging with that cryptic comment and was gone.

Puzzled, Rosemary looked over at Hogan, who was now chilling out. He was leaning against the headboard, with a half-smile plastered on his face as he watched her. "What did you do?"

"He's just jealous, got all hot under the collar when someone hit a nerve."

Hogan was fine, with only some superficial wounds. He didn't even need his bandages changed, and after breakfast, he'd be out of the hospital.

Rosemary turned down his offer to take her home and hailed a cab back to her apartment. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw a figure waiting at her door. Thanks to Maxwell, this kind of thing was starting to feel like just another Tuesday.

She frowned in annoyance, "What do you want?"

Larry had been there since last night, knocking with no answer. Rosemary had blacklisted him, so his calls went straight to voicemail. After asking the security guard, he learned she'd gone out, so he just camped out waiting for her to return, which turned into an all-nighter.

"You're a young woman, staying out all night, what's that look like?" Larry had waited all night, almost leaving several times, but kept thinking Rosemary might show up any minute. He'd waited this long, so what's a little longer?

Hanging on to that thought, he had waited until now, his patience worn thin, his belly full of fire. For a moment, he forgot their relationship had deteriorated beyond repair, and he slipped into a fatherly tone of reprimand.

Rosemary paused in unlocking her door, then finally spoke, "Mr. Chambers, I'm not your daughter anymore. Save those words for Stacey."

Larry got straight to the point with a serious expression, "Tell Maxwell to pull that show off the air, and all the news about your career as a conservationist, all of it, take it down."

Rosemary turned in shock. She thought Larry came to force her to remarry, not wanting to give back the money Maxwell had given, but it turned out it was because of the show.

She had gone on the show to see if anyone would come after her once they knew she was Rosalind's daughter.
