Chapter 469

Chapter 469 Because Rose was afraid of Frank, she did not hold Edward’s arm too intimately when they entered. The two of them walked one after the other, separated by a little distance.

When Juana saw the two of them return, she had the illusion that her son and daughter-in-law had both returned home. She hoped that this day would come faster and welcomed them warmly. “Rose is here. Come in quickly.”

As she spoke, she walked over and held Rose’s hand. She brought Rose into the living room and walked toward the sofa.

When Rose walked to the sofa, she realized that Frank was looking at her gloomily, making her feel guilty. She said ingratiatingly, “Frank, where’s Ava?”

Juana saw that Frank did not look angry and smiled as she settled down. “Take a seat first. Rose, take whatever you want to eat. I will go and see how Joy is doing.”

It was good that Rose was brought in. The rest was left to the young people.

It seemed that she would have to call Rose to the Landor family to eat more often in the future.

Edward approached the sofa and greeted, “You’ve been here for a long time.”

Frank replied calmly, “Earlier than you.”

Edward went to wash his Seeing that his brother, de and did not continue the conversation.

not in a good mood and that Ava was not around, Rose hugged her brother affectionately and said coquettishly, “Frank, when did you come? Let’s go back together later.”

Rose asked, “Did you tell Grace not to come home for dinner?”

“I did.”

Frank rolled his eyes. “You don’t have to rack your brains to flatter him. You’re the one who wants to marry him, not me. As long as you like it.”

Hackett was peeling an orange on the sofa at the side. “You want to marry Edward? Aren’t you straight? Edward might not want to marry you either.

He likes Rose, not you. Don’t flatter yourself.”

Rose was speechless.

“If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute. Eat your food.” As he spoke, Frank threw another orange at him.

At the dining table, Juana took good care of Rose. He asked Sherri about Rose’s preferences in advance. Half of the dishes on the table were Rose’s favorites.

Juana did not know Frank’s preferences. When asking Hackett Blackwell, he directly said that he was not picky about food, as long as it was edible.

Frank naturally noticed such meticulous preparation. Throughout the entire meal, whenever the dishes turned to Rose- Juana would give a gaze to the others, indicating that they should not turn around the dishes and let Rose have the first bite.

Frank couldn’t help but want to laugh. Edward was so unwanted that his mother was so anxious.

Juana was still trying to persuade Rose enthusiastically. “Rose, eat more. Don’t stand on ceremony. Make yourself at home.”

Joy echoed, “Yes, our family doesn’t have so many rules. You can eat the same way you eat at home, both here and there. There’s no need to be restrained. It’s the same for Frank. We’re not a strict family. Just look at Hackett’s personality.”

Hackett asked, “If you guys are just chatting, there’s no need to talk about me.”

Joy replied, “Well, you are a perfect example.”

Sherri had just given birth to a baby. To prevent her from getting a cold, Joy had closed all the doors and windows in the living room, Sherri, who was quietly drinking creamy potato soup, choked. Sometimes, her mother-in-law’s words could be described as the epitome of wit. Even she admired her, like at this very moment.

Nathan and Richard did not go home for dinner and instead worked overtime at the company.

Ava felt that the Blackwell family had a great family atmosphere. She was very comfortable and didn’t feel any restrictions. Edward’s mother was also very easy to get along with. If Rose married into the family in the future, Mrs. Landor would probably treat her very well.

Sherri was about to go upstairs after eating. She came down after feeding the baby. “Eat more. I’m going to look after our Jasper.”

Joy stood up first. “I will go. You young people can chat.”

Juana’stood up as well. “I’m done eating too. You guys chat, and we’ll go upstairs and watch.”

1/3 15:51 1 Chapter 469 To give the young people some space, the two mothers tactfully left together.

After saying that, they both walked towards the stairs. Sherri could only sit back down on the stool and prepare to chat. It was indeed rare for everyone to come to her house for dinner. If Natalie had not gone through confinement like her, the gathering would be even more complete.

Frank sympathized with Hackett, understanding the pressure of “preparing to take over the company.”

Hackett was serious this time. “Let’s wait for Sherri to get back on her feet.”

Indeed, after their son was born, Nathan had the idea of retiring. Before getting married, Hackett used to frequently visit the company. However, after getting married, he didn’t go as often. Essentially, Nathan was the one who remained busy with the company.

Sherri said, “I’ve chosen a name for the child, as Liam Blackwell. I’ve checked the meaning, and it’s very good and extraordinary.”

Edward responded, “Not bad. What do you This question was directed at Hackett.

think?”

Hackett felt that the name was just a placeholder. As long as it wasn’t too complicated, he thought it was fine. “It’s pretty good. Let’s consider it settled then.”

Sherri counted on her fingers. “Brother has agreed, Mom and Dad have also agreed, and Hackett has agreed. So, it’s decided. Future sister-in-law, do you agree?”

Rose thought, “If your entire family agrees, I, who am not yet part of the family, don’t have much of a say in the matter.”

Rose didn’t answer directly, but she nodded slightly in agreement.

Seeing her nod, Edward smiled. Rose’s reaction toward Sherri was different, indicating that she was becoming a part of the Landor family.

Frank smiled knowingly. It seemed intentional. He pretended not to hear and turned to Ava beside him, asking, “Are you still hungry?”

Ava shook her head and leaned close to Frank’s ear. “Frank, should we start thinking of names now?”

“It’s still early,” Frank squeezed Ava’s neck.

Ava said, “I forgot to ask my sister’s two babies’ names.”

Sherri asked, “Ah, didn’t you go to Wilson’s residence? Didn’t Natalie tell you?”

Ava shook her head honestly. She really didn’t ask. She was busy listening to her mother teach her sister how to be fair.

Sherri replied, “The older sister is Olivia Wilson and the younger sister is Sophia Wilson. Theo gave them their names.”

Just as everyone was contemplating which name to use, Hackett broke the silence. “Both names match our son’s name quite well.”

Frank understood what she meant. “You might be overthinking. If you want to get teased, go ahead and fantasize all you want.”

Ever since Trevon had three children, he had been extremely proud, especially since his two daughters were like precious gems. They personally changed their diapers, fed them milk, bathed them, and even hired confinement maids to assist them in doing so.

It was probably unrealistic to daydream about his daughter.

Hackett didn’t think much of it and said confidently, “That’s hard to say. What if Trevon’s daughter develops a liking for my son?”

Ava thought, They were still very young after all.”

Just like that, the few of them sat together and discussed the topic they had just fantasized about. They also talked for a while about Hackett taking over the company. Sherri had no objections to Hackett sharing the workload of her father-in-law. Every time she saw her father-in-law massaging her shoulders on the sofa, her heart would ache.

The children grew older day by day, and the elderly grew older day by day. They had always lived in an environment that their parents had worked hard to create. They had been sheltered from the hardships and had never worried about their basic needs since birth. Now, it was time for them to take on the responsibility of allowing their parents to rest and enjoy life.

Frank had already accepted Edward. Regardless of which side Frank was from, it was evident that Edward took good care of Rose, and she also liked him. Juana, on the other hand, had a very cheerful personality and had no trouble getting along with Rose. Over time, she began to engage in conversations with Edward.

The following day, Ava returned. Frank and Trevon accompanied the Turner family to the airport once more. They agreed to mest in Sapphire City on New Year’s Day to search for her.

2/3 15.50 Chapter 469 There were several partings, and Ava had grown more mature. She asked Frank to visit her during the holidays. During this time, she had to work diligently and couldn’t afford to waste her time because of her absence.

Frank agreed.

Since Rose met Edward’s mother, she was frequently invited to dine with either the Landor or Blackwell families.

After dinner, Edward would ensure Rose’s safe return to the Roberts family.

Day after day, he continued to repeat this routine.

Today marked the final day of work before the New Year’s holiday. Rose had prepared small gifts for her colleagues and successfully arranged shift changes with their approval from the HR department.

Tomorrow, Rose was ser to embark on an overseas trip with Edward.

In the Roberts family villa, Rose stepped out of Edward’s car and entered the living room with a cheerful demeanor. She hummed a little tune and hung up her bag. “Fragrance of red lotus root... in the rain... A gentle sense of relief...”

Frank was engaged in a conversation with Ava Turner on the sofa when he heard the commotion behind him, signaling his sister’s return. Without turning his head, he playfully teased, “Do you still remember where the door is?”

Rose casually placed her bag on the sofa and took a seat next to Frank. She leaned in to take a closer look at her brother’s phone, and Frank didn’t hide it from her. “Are you also going to Sapphire City tomorrow?” she asked.

“Only you and Edward can go?”

Rose, in her cheerful mood, brushed off her brother’s dissatisfaction. “Oh, come on, I’m just having a meal at the Landor family. Juana is always so polite. If you were to invite me, I wouldn’t be able to refuse. Plus, she’s an elder, and we should show her respect.”

Since Rose started dining at the Landor family, Juana would often use the excuse that Edward was too busy to answer her calls and would reach out to Rose instead. Rose didn’t think much of it and added Juana directly. Eventually, Juana started calling Rose from time to time.

Juana was extremely enthusiastic, making it challenging for Rose to refuse her requests.

Frank replied, “You’re so polite.”

Rose decided not to dwell on their meal any longer. “Oh, I came back from my trip just to have a meal with you. I know you must have missed me, but I didn’t want to embarrass you by saying it. Anyway, where are you and Ava planning to go?”

“It seems like you’ve exhausted all the activities in Sapphire City. It can get a bit monotonous. How about we form a team and go to Haililand together? There are plenty of new and exciting things to explore there.”

Frank responded with indifference, saying, “Won’t you be going to Artroyland this time?”

“I’ve already been to Artroyland twice. I’ve explored all the exciting places there. I feel like it’s time for a change of scenery. I don’t have any particular attachment to Artroyland anymore,” Rose replied.

“Isn’t that where you met Edward?”

“Why do you keep talking endlessly? You’re so irritating. Are you going to go?”

Seeing that his sister was anxious, Frank did not intend to continue arguing. “No,” he said.

Rose said in a mischievous tone, “Forget it if you don’t want to go. When Edward and I find a fun place, don’t be envious.”

Frank looked at his sister with disdain and pulled Rose’s arm.
