Chapter 58
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 .
