The Substitute Bride Is Reborn and Loves Her Husband No more - Chapter 84

Chapter 84: Spying on my ex-wife

Rose rolled her eyes. She wouldn’t throw away such lovely flowers, even if they were from someone she didn’t want to have anything to do with.

The chocolates… she lifted them to her nose and took a sniff. They smelled nice. She would eat them.

Finally closing her door, she walked back inside after taking a long time to decide what to do with the flowers.

Tobi was still eating, but when he saw her, he smiled. Then, his small eyes noticed the flowers in her hands.

“Mummy! Flowers!”

“Yes, dear, these are flowers,” Rose smiled, placing them on an empty seat before taking her own seat to eat.

Tobi’s eyes remained glued to the flowers, as if he couldn’t stop looking at them.

“What is it, honey? Do you like the flowers?” Rose asked.

Tobi nodded. She reached out and took one out, handing it to him.

“A single crocus…”

“Tsk, you can have it, dear.”

Tobi carefully collected the flower and took a sniff.

Flowers.

They smelled nice, and for some reason, he liked them—not that he had never seen flowers before in his life.

“Honey, here you are. Fine, we will go to the amusement park,” Rose said.

Tobi nodded eagerly. He hadn’t forgotten that his mummy had promised they would go.

“I’ll eat my food quickly!” Tobi said excitedly.

Rose patted his small hand. “Don’t rush. Eat your food slowly. The amusement park isn’t running away.”

Tobi listened to her and ate his meal slowly, just as she ate hers at a steady pace.

Tobi called repeatedly, and Rose answered, but he kept calling her over and over again without saying anything.

…

“Mum, the amusement park is so big!” Tobi cheered, jumping and skipping on the amusement park ground that Rose had brought him to. It was almost as if he was overflowing with excitement and happiness. Of course, he was happy. Rose smiled, watching him with warmth.

“Would you like to play on anything fun?” she asked.

“I want to play on everything fun!” Tobi exclaimed.

Rose chuckled, shaking her head. Kids. They never make decisions—they just want everything all at once.

She sighed and decided for him.

“Come on, let’s play on the swing. Mommy will guide you,” Rose said.

Tobi jumped and skipped happily at her words. Seeing his joy, Rose smiled and led him toward the swing.

…

Meanwhile

Rolan stood in the dark part of the amusement park, watching Rose and Tobi.

His brows were furrowed, his expression like that of a wounded beast—ready to kill.

“You’ve been ignoring me, Rose. And this morning… you got flowers from someone,” Rolan muttered through clenched teeth, his sharp features growing colder.

Did she only want him to stay with her child until the kid was cured? Was the boy cured now?

The moment she shut him out, she suddenly had another man around, playing happy family with him. And now this?

Rolan’s jaw tightened in anger. Rose keeps pissing me off.

Beside him, Alfred stood looking uneasy.

“Alpha, we look like creeps right now. People are watching. Do you think this is a good place to spy on Miss Rose?” Alfred whispered.

Rolan’s attention snapped to him. Damn it. He realized they weren’t exactly hidden—exposed to the crowd of people enjoying the amusement park.

To maintain his authority, Rolan replied, “Don’t mind them. We’re not doing anything wrong. If anyone asks, just say we’re playing hide and seek with a child.”

Alfred gave him a look that screamed, You’re the smart one, huh? But he nodded anyway.

Rolan smirked slightly as Alfred obeyed him. Meanwhile, Rose continued enjoying her time with Tobi.

Tobi giggled as Rose pushed the swing forward.

“Mummy! I’m flying! Mummy, I’m flying!” Tobi shouted, stretching his arms like an airplane.

“Yeah, you are! Mummy can see that!” Rose laughed, enjoying the moment.

After a while, she stopped pushing. “Let’s take a break now,” she said. She had been pushing him for quite some time, and she didn’t want him to get dizzy.

She carefully helped him off the swing and sat beside him.

“Mummy, I’m hungry,” Tobi said, rubbing his tummy.

Rose saw his little action and laughed. She reached into her backpack, pulling out some snacks.

“Here you go. You’re such a foodie,” she teased. “You’ll turn into Mummy’s little fat pig soon!”

Tobi pouted at her words. Mummy was teasing him again.

Rose smiled, watching him munch happily.

“Do you want to play again, Tobi? Anywhere you like?” she asked.

“Yeah! I want to play in the merry-go-round!” Tobi said excitedly.

Rose nodded. “Alright, let’s go then.”

She picked up her bag and stood up, ready to leave. But then, she noticed Tobi staring at something in the distance…

—

“Mummy, I think there’s an uncle watching us from over there,” Tobi said in his small voice, pointing at a flower plant full of leaves.

Meanwhile…

Alfred hid behind Rolan.

“Boss, we’ve been caught by Miss Rose’s kid. Look, the kid is pointing at you.”

“So what?” Rolan scoffed. But despite his words, he also shifted to hide better, folding himself lower so no one else could see them.

“That little brat… He’s always ruining my plans. I’ll get him one day,” Rolan muttered with a cold chuckle.

“Boss, are we really going to stay here and keep spying on Miss Rose?” Alfred asked.

Rolan shot him a cold glare. “Yes, we are staying.”

“Boss, you can’t be serious. This old man is tired!” Alfred complained.

“Oh? You’re an old man now? Then I suppose I’m a grandpa, and grandpa isn’t tired,” Rolan replied sarcastically.

“Rolan!”

Rose’s voice suddenly cut through the air, making Rolan freeze. He had been caught off guard.

For a moment, he hesitated to look up. Then, finally, he lifted his gaze—only to meet Rose’s sharp, piercing stare.

“Huh, angel fish?” Rolan muttered, feeling an icy chill from her expression.

“What are you doing here?” Rose demanded, her eyes still locked onto him.

They had already been caught. No point in hiding anymore, Rolan thought as he got up from his spot. He glanced at Alfred, who was still trying to hide behind him. Annoyed, he grabbed Alfred’s suit and tugged it a little.
