My Bossy CEO Husband
Chapter 2085

“In the branch office.

What’s wrong?” Brian’s tone was laced with concern, sensing the gravity in her words.

“Come back right away,” she urged.

Brian could sense the palpable coldness in her voice, anxiety creeping in.

“ihat happened?”

As her hand subconsciously caressed her belly, Rosalynn replied with a tremor in her voice, “Your mother accused me of cheating and she almost killed our baby!”

A heavy silence fell between them, broken only by Brian’s halted breath.

“I’U be right back,” he promised.

After ending the call, Rosalynn was immediately embraced by Gail, who looked at her with evident concern.

Attempting to mask her turmoil, Rosalynn offered her mother a weak smile.

However, their tender moment was quickly disrupted by Noemi’s scornful remark.

“Planning to drive me away? Gail, don’t act as if you’re the most sensible person here.

If Brian didn’t live here, do you think I’d choose to stay?”

Her voice dripped with disdain as she continued, “Think about it.

He’s the CEO of a big company, yet he lives under his mother-in- law’s roof.

What does that make him? A freeloader? I’m only here out of pity for him-to keep an eye on Rosalynn.

”

Hurt flashed across Gail’s face as she responded, “Is this really how you’ve seen me all this time? I’ve treated you with nothing but respect and kindness, and loved Brian as if he were my own son.

Why are you acting like I’m the villain here?”

Her frustration was palpable as she added, “I’ve never seen Brian as a freeloader.

You’re the one causing unnecessary drama!”

Noemi scoffed, “Don’t be so hypocritical.

If you truly regarded him as your son, you wouldn’t work him to the bone like that.

Instead, you should be sending your daughter back to Wragos for her delivery!”

Gail’s patience waned as she responded, “If you were more open-minded and didn’t resort to baseless accusations, I’d be comfortable letting Rosalynn stay in Wragos for her delivery.

But with a mother-in-law like you, who can turn demonic at any moment, how can I possibly feel safe about it?”

“How dare you!” Noemi exclaimed, outraged.

“Enough!” Gail snapped, her tone final.

She no longer wished to continue the argument.

“Let’s see what Brian has to say when he returns.

If he feels the same as you, feeling out of place here every day, I won’t force him to stay.

”

With that, she grasped Rosalynn’s arm gently and steered her toward another building.

Rosalynn remained silent, dismissing the entire argument as pointless.

Soon after, the veterinarian arrived and attended to Teddy.

Seated on the sofa, Rosalynn caressed her belly, still shaken by the earlier ordeal.

If Teddy hadn’t tried the chicken soup before she had, she feared she might have lost her baby.

The thought was haunting.

She couldn’t fathom how she and Brian would cope if the baby were gone.
