Rose looked worried. All she wanted was for her children and her brother to be safe and not be discovered by Elliot. Lawrence was the only person she trusted to make this happen.
Lawrence looked at her with a sincere and hopeful expression, her heart suddenly softened, even though...
"Aren't you leaving, Rose? Are you going to leave with us?" he asked, a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Rose hesitated. Of course she wanted to leave, but not now.
When she returned home originally, she had no intention of getting involved with Elliot or letting him discover her whereabouts. But everything had gone off track since then.
She had no choice but to divorce Elliot, otherwise, he wouldn't let them go so easily. She needed the divorce agreement before leaving.
"I can't leave yet," Rose shook her head in a low voice that betrayed none of her true emotions. "As you know, Lawrence, I haven't... divorced yet." Lawrence's face darkened under the hotel lights - half light and half dark - highlighting his complex emotions even more. "You're staying here alone just so you can get the divorce agreement?"
Rose couldn't express how she felt at this moment. Confused? Doubtful? Regretful?
"Rose," Lawrence said worriedly as he pursed his lips together. "If you don't leave now, according to Elliot's personality, he won't let you go so easily." "In fact," Lawrence continued after a pause as if considering something carefully. "I could help you without him finding out..."
"No." Rose interrupted quickly upon hearing these words from him. "Lawrence, I naturally trust you, but I cannot allow my children or myself any threat or danger. If we don't leave now, and if Elliot finds out that my children are his, it will be impossible for them to return back into my arms again." Rose suddenly made up her mind, "You take Sean and leave now. It will relieve me of any worries and I can focus on dealing with Elliot without worrying about Sean revealing his identity. I trust you, so please make sure to safely take Sean and my brother out of the country. I'll be back soon." Lawrence looked at her determined face and sighed deeply, "What about Leah? Do you want her to come with us?"
Rose narrowed her eyes and rubbed her forehead helplessly, "She doesn't want to leave and it's better for her to stay here. Besides, she's under Elliot's watchful eye now. If we leave together, he'll definitely find out. Lawrence, you should take Sean and my brother first."
Lawrence felt helpless in this situation but it was not advisable to stay in the country any longer as Elliot was quick-witted enough to discover Sean if they stayed.
"Okay, I promise that I will safely send Sean and your brother out of the country. Don't worry," Lawrence assured Rose but still couldn't shake off his concerns for her safety.
"If anything happens while you're still in the country, let me know immediately so that I can come back right away," he added earnestly.
Rose waved him off saying, "I know! You don't have to worry about me like a mother hen!"
Lawrence chuckled at her and said, "Rose, I'm just concerned about you. Anyway, I won't say anymore. Just remember, if you need anything, don't hesitate to reach out."
Rose laughed lightly, "I know, I know, Lawrence, you're the best!"
As Lawrence gazed at her radiant smile, the complex feelings from earlier seemed to vanish, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, at the same time, a subtle sense of unease crept over him. There was something else he needed to do in addition to helping Rose during this visit, something he hadn't mentioned to her...
That task was given to him by Khalil - to represent RH and collaborate with Elliot.
He hadn't had time yet to talk further with Elliot after their initial meeting.
Now that Rose asked him to leave the country, there seemed no time left for such a meeting anymore; besides, Elliott hadn't contacted Lawrence since then, which might mean he wasn't interested anymore in cooperating.
Elliot wouldn't compromise and there was nothing Lawrence could do about it.
The second task was to make things difficult for Elliot for the sake of the children and Rose, to get some revenge on him. But now nothing had been accomplished.
"Rose, when are we leaving?" Lawrence asked.
Rose thought for a moment. "The sooner, the better. Leave tomorrow, how does that sound?"
They needed to leave as soon as possible in order to catch Elliot off guard and not give him a chance to find them once they were out of the country. When he did eventually realize they were gone, she didn't believe he would be able to track them down abroad.
That was Rose's plan so she took out her phone and discussed it with Lawrence before having him book three tickets: one for Lawrence, one for her brother and one for Sean.
It was already past 8 o'clock, so Rose stood up ready to leave but couldn't resist giving some instructions first, "Lawrence, please take care of the children and contact me once you're overseas. If possible, I'll come see you at the airport tomorrow but most likely won't be able to make it, so please ask Sean..."
"I know!" Lawrence interrupted her with a smile while glancing at Rose. "You say I'm a mother hen but you're just the same! If you're worried about your brother or the kids, then hurry up and deal with things here before coming back for us later on. Everything else will be taken care of by me, so don't worry."
Rose blushed slightly, realizing that she had indeed been too talkative repeating these same words countless times before saying, "Okay
fine, I won't say anything mo kay
then.
I'm just worried about all of you, but I'll solve everything quickly, then come find you guys."
Lawrence nodded his head saying, "Do you want something to eat? I ordered supper. Since there is still time left, have some and I will walk you out." Although Rose didn't want any further delay in leaving right away, since it wasn't too late and Elliot wouldn't return home anytime soon, there wasn't anything else she needed worrying over anyway.
Wait! What am I worrying about? It has nothing whatsoever do with where he goes from here on out!
So nodding her head again this time, she said, "Alright then, let me see what kind of supper dishes you have ordered; Later, I will take some back to Leah."
Lawrence smiled, replying simply "Mm-hmm".
