Chapter 271

Chapter 271 Rose struggled to enter the ATV as she opened the passenger door and tried to sit in it.

After steadying herself in her seat, Rose glanced over at Frank, who had already gotten into the car effortlessly, before chiding. “Can’t you pick me up with a smaller car? Where’s the Porsche you drove me in this morning?”

“Didn’t Frank know that she was vertically challenged? At five foot four, she disliked the inconvenient car,” she thought.

Frank started the car as if he did not hear anything and only stated his opinion, “This is so cool!”

Rose rebuked. “What a dumbass car. Frank, stop acting cool. If you are not using the Porsche, give it to me. I don’t have a car now Either that or you buy me a new car.”

Frank rebutted annoyingly. “Are you sure you can understand and follow the GPS navigation? Are you sure you will not go in the opposite direction?”

Rose exclaimed in exasperation, “I have a poor sense of direction but I’m not illiterate. How can one not understand the route of Athana on Google Maps? Are you despising me Frank hissed. “You”

Rose glared at him fiercely, indicating that she was angry that he had offended her.

After a few seconds of silence. Frank carefully said without regard for his sister’s opinions. Tll arrange a chauffeur for you tomorrow who will send you to and from work in the future.”

Hearing this, Rose calmed down. She knew that the person Frank hired was not a mere chauffeur. He must have a certain level of skill Frank continued. “He’ll only send you to and from work”

Rose understood what he meant and accepted his offer She lay back in the chair and supported herself with one hand on the window She tilted her head and looked at her brother in the driver’s seat “Alright. At least I can guarantee that I’ll remain healthy before I go to Sapphure City”

Frank’s arm which was on the steering wheel trembled. He glanced sideways at Rose before turning his gaze onto the road again. He frowned and questioned. “You want to return to Sapphire City? Didn’t you just resign? Don’t cause any trouble for Looking at the slightly irritated Frank, Rose continued to stay calm while holding onto the car window with her hand. “What are you thinking” Since I’m back. I won’t return to Sapphire City In half a month. Ava will be competing. A few of us plan to give Ava a surprise. You hurt Ava. Ineed to provide her with moral support and also see her blind date”

Rose was not in a hurry either. She slowly turned to look at her brother’s expression He had turned somber and was pretending not to like Ava Very well Frank Keep on the pretense Rose continued chading her brother Tthink Hackett and Trevon will make the trip. After all, Hackett just proposed to Sherri today Ill be hard for him to be away from Sherri for a long time. As for Trevon, he’s sticking to Natalie every day 1 heard that he left his child at the Wilson’s residence. He’ll most likely tag along. You’re the only one left in Athana now Sigh. poor bachelor. You’re all alone Rose even shook her head sympathetically and sighed to emphasize her point Her expression was not borne out of sympathy for Frank being ungle Instead, she looked like he was terminally ill Frank drove somberly He pursed his lips and remained silent as if Rose was talking to the air. If not for his frown, Rose would have bought into his calmness “My brother, let me interview you on behalf of CNN. As a bachelor, how does it feel to hang out with several couples every days As the car had stopped in front of the Roberts family’s courtyard, Frank suddenly stepped on the brakes, causing Rose to fall forward. While it was fortunate that Rose was wearing a seatbelt, the jerk still made her quite angry. Rose roared. “Are you crazy? Do you know how to drive?”

She looked up and saw the somewhat familiar courtyard. It had been so many years since she was last back, and her memories were blurry However, the flowers and grass in the courtyard were still vivid in her mind. It was etched deeply in her heart. Everything in the courtyard looked the same even after she was gone for so many years The ambient noise stopped. Rose had already forgotten about criticizing Frank while Frank acted as if nothing had happened. Frank’s tapping of the steering wheel made Rose even more nervous. Robert asked, “Do you want to mentally prepare yourself before getting out of the car, or do you want me to blindfold you?*

Rose closed her eyes and clenched her fists before slowly composing herself and saying. “Let’s get out of the car Frank opened the car door and got out of the car first. A deafening voice came from the courtyard, “Hello, Mr. Wilson. Hello, Miss Wilson”

Rose was stunned by the scene. She turned her head to Frank and asked. “This is all arranged by Will...”

William Roberts was Frank’s father. Everyone called him Will. The siblings had never addressed their parents as “Dad” or “Mum” since they were young. They were used to calling them Will and Grace. Frank would only earnestly call his mother “Mum” when discussing something Frank glanced at the row of bodyguards and replied to his sister helplessly. “It might also be Grace who arranged this. You can go in and ask ”

Just as she was thinking about it and before she could react. Frank wrapped his arms around Rose’s shoulders and led her into the Roberts family’s villa.

Rose did not push Frank’s arms away and allowed him to hold her.

The two siblings had just entered the door when two others on the sofa stood up. The woman had her shoulder-length hair tied up as usual; she looked energetic and competent. She was wearing a white figure-hugging dress and a pair of three-inch heels. She seemed like she had just returned from work. Otherwise, given her personality, she would have changed into slippers long ago.

The man was still in a suit. He looked at the two siblings by the door with slightly red eyes. This was a scene that he had thought about for many years. Today, it had finally come true. He grabbed the woman beside him with trembling hands and led her to the door. Instantly, three pairs of eyes met.

Frank looked elsewhere nonchalantly while his arms were still wrapped around his sister and asked, “When are we eating? I’m starving William nudged Grace’s arm and gestured for her to speak. However, she did not react. Afraid Grace would chase Rose out of the house again, he quickly walked over and held Rose’s hand before saying, “Come and see if you’ve lost weight. Oh, you haven’t lost weight, but you’ve become prettier. You are looking more and more like Grace William’s comments were undoubtedly made as topic starters for both Rose and Grace. Rose understood her father’s intentions and composed herself before turning to Grace. Rose told herself it was now or never. She told Grace earnestly. “Grace, I was wrong. Im sorry Then, Rose bowed deeply to Grace. As she bowed, tears started falling on the white tiles on the floor.

Grace, who had always been strong-headed, broke down at this moment. Tears gathered and fell from the corners of her eyes. She walked toward Rose in her three-inch heels and went to hug Rose. All her emotions and words were lost in this long-awaited hug.

Thousands of words converged into a hug. She was finding peace, being understanding, and apologetic all at once.

William was excited. He had dreamed of seeing the mother and daughter reconcile. He walked over to hug the mother and daughter while still in tears.

Frank leaned against the door frame with his hands in his pockets. He looked at the three people hugging each other and smiled before reminding everyone, “Can we eat now?”

Upon hearing this, the three of them stepped back. Grace wiped Rose’s tears with trembling hands. Rose snitlled and raised her hand to wipe Grace’s tears. William turned around, took a packet of tissues from the coffee table, and offered it to the mother and daughter.

The mother and daughter each took a tissue in unison.

William teased, “No one would believe you’re not mother and daughter. Look at you. Look at your actions in unison. You’re like sisters.”

Now that her emotional baggage was gone, Rose stopped being strong-willed. She held Grace’s arm as both walked towards the dining room. The two of them looked close.

William instructed the servants, “Arrange for all the dishes to be served, including those prepared by Grace.”

Rose knew that Grace did not know how to cook. When did she learn how to cook?

When the dishes were served, she was even more surprised. They were all Rose’s favorite dishes and were personally prepared by Grace.

Some express their love for others through actions. Their actions speak louder than words, Grace was one of them. Rose started tearing up again.

Grace saw and responded as she did not want her daughter to feel burdened, “I learned it out of boredom. Try it.”

Grace placed a bowl of sausage in front of Rose silently.

Rose picked up the tableware and took a piece of sausage. It was moderately sour and sweet but not cloying. The texture was delicate and delicious.

She suppressed her gratitude and said, “Grace’s cooking is superb, Will, you’re in luck.”

William, who sat beside Frank, sighed enviously. “Well, you’re overthinking. I’ve only eaten Grace’s test products. I don’t have the luck to taste them anymore after Grace honed her skills.”

Grace glared at William, who was beside her, and chided “Who are you complaining to William saw Grace’s glare and winked at his son and daughter, pretending to be very pitiful Who would have thought that a man who was resolute, decisive, and had countless subordinates would act like this at home?

Frank was a glutton the entire time. He stuffed his face with mouthfuls of macaroni and other dishes. When he finished rating, he sipped the beverage beside him. As soon as he finished his plate, he handed las plate to the servant before instructing her, “Another serving. There’s no need for too much”

William reminded him, “Frank, why don’t you and Rose move back in? We won’t be able to look after you if you stay out Look how famish you are”

Frank took over the macarons the servant handed him and continued stuffing himself silly, “Tam eating so much to show my appreciation to Grace Late two servings, not two ton William was still hopeful that his daughter and son would move back in. He placed his hopes on his daughter and asked, “Rose, what do you think?

Do you want to come back to stay? Your brother wouldn’t be able to take good care of you if you stayed at his place.”

Grace put her tableware down and said to her daughter. Tve already changed the layout of your room. It’s brand new. It’s up to you. Come back if you want to. I won’t force you.”

Despite Grace’s words, Rose could still see the anticipation in her mother’s eyes. She glanced at Frank and said, “Okay, but I have a condition. Frank must come back to stay too Rose was too bored at home alone. She wanted someone to bicker with Frank raised his head and glared at her before saying. Tm used to staying in Deepwater Bay”

Rose smiled cheekily and said to Grace, “Grace, let me tell you. A few days ago, my brother was injured..

Frank quickly interrupted. “Rose Roberts, you deserve a beating!”

Rose responded firmly. “Are you going to live here?”

Frank finished the last mouthful of macaroni and stuffed his mouth with another piece of sausage. He swallowed it and rolled his eyes at Rose before admitting defeat. “I’m staying”

Having succeeded, Rose was in a good mood. However, Grace was not easy to lool. She continued to probe further, “Why was your brother injured two days ago? Was it over a girl? Does your brother have a girlfriend?”

Frank glanced at Rose with a warning gaze. Rose tried to cover it up by saying. “I asked my brother to give me some allowance to buy something a few days ago. My brother refused. I was too upset.”

Rose glanced at Frank and tried to hint,” I’m trying to divert attention. You can’t expect me to tell the truth, right?”

Seeing the exchange of glances between the two, Grace knew that her daughter was not telling the truth. However, she played along and said, “Will, give her the card.”

William quickly stood up, took a black card from his wallet, and handed it to his daughter before saying, “Rose. Here, use it as you wish. I’ll remove the notifications later. This way, I won’t be able to receive notifications when you buy things.”

Rose was merely lying and not asking for money. She replied, “Will, there’s no need. I have money. Frank still treats me quite well”

William and Grace insisted on giving the card to Rose. Eventually, she still accepted it. Frank lay around as he watched his drama queen’s sister performed.
