Chapter 109

When Rosalie anved at Rebecca’s place, it was around ten o’clock.

Rebys was Wing in bed, wearing her reading glasses and engrossed

ta book

Spotting Rosalie, she quickly put down her book and smiled warmly. Rose, you’re here.”

“Grandma.” Rosalie smiled back, sitting beside Rebecca’s bed. “What are you reading**

“It’s a romance novel,” Rebecca replied.

Rosalie peeked at the cover out of curiosity. Indeed, it was one of those girly romance novels.

She exclaimed, “Grandma, you’re actually reading a romance novel?”

“What’s wrong with that? Just because I’m old, I can’t read romance novels anymore? Rebecca’s

tone was serious, but she didn’t actually seem angry. “Can only young people like you read them?

Do you look down on me, an old woman?”

Though Rebecca sounded stern, she wasn’t genuinely upset.

“Oh, Grandma, that’s not what I meant at all,” Rosalie reassured her quickly. “I didn’t expect you to

still have such a youthful heart. That’s wonderful! You’re my favorite kind of grandma.”

Rosalie actually quite liked people who grew more childlike as they aged. She felt that such souls

were more interesting than those who pretended to be mature and worldly, regardless of their age.

She hoped that when she grew old and couldn’t walk anymore, she could still read a romance

novel. When she read about the male lead

ng on the female lead, her heart would race, and she would

enthusiastically ship the couple

But would she like Rebecca, end up sitting alone in bed?

Rebecca’s husband had passed away over a decade ago, and Rosalie hadn’t even met him. She

remembered that when Rebecca adopted her ten years ago, she wasn’t as old as she was then.

Back then, Rebecca was still in good health. Over the years, time had taken its toll. Rebecca’s back

had become more hunched, her face more lined, her hair alm st completely white.

Rosalie suddenly felt very sad.

Everyone had to leave the world at some point. In the long river of history, everyone had to go.

Thinking about Rebecca’s age. Rosalie suddenly felt waves of pain in her heart. She couldn’t

imagine what it would be like when Rebecca left. She couldn’t bear the thought of losing Rebecca.

Lost in her thoughts, Rosalie felt her nose tingle and her eyes suddenly turn red.

Rebecca looked at Rosalie with concern. She took Rosalie’s hand, and asked worriedly. “What’s

wrong? Did Theo bully you? Tell me if he did! I’ll teach him a lesson for you.”

“Grandma………” Rosalie rushed into Rebecca’s arms, and carefully

embraced her. “I just suddenly missed you. Seeing you makes me so

happy.”

Rosalie didn’t voice her worries. The day would come sooner or later, and she believed Rebecca

could handle it. After all, with age came a certain acceptance of many things, even death.

But as the one left behind, Rosalie would be heartbroken.

For Rosalie, Rebecca was the closest person in the world to her. If it weren’t for Rebecca, Rosalie

couldn’t imagine where she would be

now.

Rebecca treated her like a real granddaughter, even better than her biological grandson.

There was no blood relation between them. Although Rosalie’s parents died in an accident at the

SK Enterprise, the company

compensated her generously. It was an unfortunate incident. Nobody. would have imagined it ever

happening.

Technically, it would have been understandable if Rebecca hadn’t adopted her.

But Rebecca did it anyway, giving Rosalie a good future and a new chance at life. So, no matter

what happened, Rosalie always prioritize her first.
