Chapter: 1784

"Rosa, don't forget that she is my daughter, too. If you hadn't hidden her from me, she would have been in the Scott family since she was born. Besides, do you really think you can defeat my legal team?"

Rosa remained silent.

Carson held back the pain in his heart and continued coldly, "I won't make any concessions on Maya's custody. If you and Elliott are so in love with each other, you can have another child. Maya has the blood of the Scott family. I can't let her live with other people."

After saying this, Carson turned around and left without even giving Rosa a chance to say anything more.

Rosa was left there dumbfounded. She was so heartbroken that she wanted to cry.

At this moment, her phone rang.

She took it from her pocket and looked at the screen. When she saw the caller's name, she calmed herself down and pressed the answer button.

"Elliott..."

Elliott gestured for the makeup artist to depart with a wave of his hand. He placed the phone to his ear and rose from his seat. “Jeanne mentioned you paid her a visit this morning."

Rosa swiftly composed herself and said, "Yes."

"You look like you didn't get much sleep. Did the Moran family...?" Elliott inquired with concern and furrowed his brow.

"No." Rosa denied. "I just had a restless night."

"You don't need to attend the promotion meeting this afternoon. Head back and get some rest," Elliott advised, expressing his concern.

Rosa declined.

During this period, Elliott's career was at its zenith, and she had to oversee everything personally before she could feel at ease. "No worries.

I'll send Maya to the kindergarten and then attend the meeting."

Elliott couldn't persuade her otherwise.

Seeing this, he ceased his attempts. “If you start feeling unwell, let me know immediately."

"Okay."

Sensing Rosa's somewhat distant tone, Elliott halted and rested his hand against the wall. His bony fingers tapped against the wall intermittently as he spoke in a soft, affectionate tone. "Rosa."

Rosa pursed her lips and asked, “What's wrong?"

“Nothing in particular. I just wanted to say your name." Elliott took a deep breath to quell the emotions stirring in his heart. "I have to go. My assistant is calling me. I believe it's regarding the photo shoot."

"Okay," Rosa replied softly.

"Well, I'll see you this afternoon," Elliot said.
