The Royal Contract

Chapter 1222: Go for broke



There was nothing else he would like to do but go back to the hospital and be with his fiancee. But Roseann was correct. He had to give Rosella some space.

He could not smother her with his presence when she did not welcome it. It could only worsen his situation with her.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" His secretary asked, probably wondering why he had not taken the half day off he had been doing these last few days.

"No. Not yet. I still have several backlogs I need to catch up with." David answered, showing the files stocked on his desk.

It was true.

Those folders had been sitting on his table for days. But it was not the reason he was working on it today. He guessed he needed something to occupy his mind, a distraction so he would not think about Rosella.

"What is going on, David?" Suddenly another voice joined in their conversation. When he looked up, Evan walked into the room. "How is Rosella?" His friend looked concerned.

He looked away from the papers on the table, dropped the pen, and acknowledged his friend.

"She is doing fine." He responded with a weak smile.

Quickly, his secretary excused herself and left them alone. Evan took the chair before him and comfortably sat on it while waiting for more details.

He wished he could tell his friend everything was great, but it was not. He wanted her Rosella back, but how.

"And then, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be with her?" Evan curiously asked as his eyebrows furrowed in question.

He had been asking those same questions silently since waking up this morning. But he knew he had to stop himself from dropping everything and rushing to the hospital.

"Yes and no." He leaned on his chair, letting the palm of his hand cover his face. "I feel like I am losing my mind." He felt frustrated.

"If that is the only way she will be happy, you have no choice but to accept that." His friend added.

He understood what his friend was telling him. He had thought of that over and over in his head. But accepting it was another thing.

Still, Evan was right. He wanted Rosella happy, even if it meant he would end up miserable without her.

He wanted to see the smile on her face again and not the confusion and fear he saw in her eyes at the moment.

"How did you become a love guru?" He jokingly questioned his friend, appreciating his insightful advice.

"After marrying Amelia, I will never be the same again. She changed me in ways I could never explain." Evan triumphantly smiled, looking like he had just won the grand lottery.

And he agreed with him. His friend had made a one-hundred-eighty-degree turn from his old ways. From someone afraid of relationships, he became a deeply committed man, unafraid to love and be with one woman for the rest of his life.

"You have to trust your heart. Take the risk. Don't be afraid to jump into the fire." His friend said with so much passion, something he never thought he would hear from his friend. "But be ready to love unconditionally."

Hearing his friend, he knew his friend was right. He had to do something to win her back, but he would need time to prepare for his plan. And he guessed he would need some help.

"Can you handle my cases?" He asked as he started shoving the files on his desk aside. He grabbed his phone and keys and was ready to leave without waiting for his friend to reply.

"Go!" Evan shouted at him when he hesitated to exit the door.

"Thanks, man." He strode out of his room without looking back.

He knew what he should do. This time, nothing was stopping him. It was all or nothing.

"Go for broke." His mind told him.
