Chapter 58
I’m sorry, everyone, I can’t keep up this bluff. I stepped out of Blake’s arms and put some distance between us.
I saw his expression change. He was pouting, and I had the urge to wrap my arms around him and wipe that pout away with my hos
Focus, Rosy!
“I appreciate everything the Cooper’s have done for me. From the scholarships to the job to giving me a place to stay. Blake has this desire to marry aw, which I honestly do not comprehend.” They all looked at me like I had grown a third head, but I didn’t stop. They needed to know.
“However, I disagree with Blake’s desire as I don’t want to be the reason shame is brought upon this family, I don’t know if Blake has told you about sy ide since he keeps saying my past doesn’t define me, but you deserve to know. I’m a bastard. My mother is a prostitute and stripper at a clubs in Greenwoods. 1 don’t know who my father is, and thanks to my mother’s profession, she could never figure out who my father was. I hung my head and dosed my eyes, scared they would see the tears forming in my eyes.
For so many years, I had kept all this a secret. Never spoke about it to anyone. I never dared to bring the subject up in front of Taylor and Rocky from Year of being ridiculed, but today I was telling the story like it was a best–selling novel. I knew Taylor and Rocky would never make fun of me, but I just didn’t like talking about it.
“I come from a shameful background, and four weeks ago, because of that background, I got kicked out of my best friends flat. Her brother, whom i thought was interested in me, tried to rape me because he discovered the life I was running away from. His parents believed I was the villain. So, people I considered family, people that called me their daughter, abandoned me. No offense to them, but when basic doctors and lawyers think it’s scandalous to have votter like me connected to their family, I can not imagine what you will think.” I wiped my eyes and looked up at them.
All three faces stared at me with expressions I couldn’t understand.
“Blake has this theory about wanting to marry someone to fall in love with after marriage like you two did Mr. and Mrs. Cooper. He thinks you all will approve of this and accept me. I wanted to come here today so Blake could see that I’m not fit to be part of this family. So he can understand this isn’t going to work between us. I just want this rejection over with so we can move on and get rid of the elephant in the room” My chest tightened, and my breathing was getting hard. I was holding in tears and wanted to get out of there.
“I’m really sorry to intrude like this. For making you go through all this trouble of getting food organized and skipping meetings, but this needs to end. 1
if I haven’t already…… need this to end before I catch feelings for your son,
There it was, the truth. The part I didn’t want to admit. I was starting to feel something for Blake. I didn’t know what that something was, but there was an emotion bubbling in me.
I clenched my jaws and looked down at my hands, waiting for someone to break the silence.
“Rosalie, can I ask you something?” It was Sue’s voice.
I looked up at her. Ready for the blow I was waiting for. There was a lump in my throat, and no matter how much I swallowed, I couldn’t get rid of it.
