Shea and Rose had the same innocent look in their eyes and anyone could sense how passionate they were from the way they spoke.


    "Irene, just say yes! Rose keeps talking about you! You have always been her best friend," Shea said with a smile. "She spends most of her time with Kiara, so she doesn''t have any other close friends." Irene turned to look at the girl next to Shea, who was slimmer and shorter.


    Kiara looked at Irene sheepishly, not daring to speak.


    "Irene, this is my younger sister, Kiara." Seeing as how Irene did not say anything, Rose pulled Kiara to her and made the introductions.


    Irene nodded.


    "It''s settled then. I will call Wesley and tell him to get a room ready." Shea smiled before walking away to make the phone call.


    It was toote for Irene to protest, and she asked dazedly, "Who is Wesley?"


    "That''s our dad," Rose said. "Aunt Avery took me down the hill and they are the people who adopted me. They treat me like their own. Even Kiara sees me as her real sister, and they have all been great to me."


    Irene nodded. "That''s good."


    "Irene, do you not want toe to my house? Do you think I''m trying to show off? That''s not my intention at all," Rose said sincerely. "It''s just been so long, and I''ve missed you. If you are facing difficulties, I can ask my parents to help you. They are really good people."


    Kiara nodded. "Irene, my whole family is nice."


    Irene fell into silence.


    Shea ended the phone call, came back, and grabbed Irene''s hands. "My husband wants you toe by our house as well. He said that he will cook lunch for us all. He is a great cook. Let''s stay here for a while longer and head home!"


    "My dad really is a great cook. As long as he is not on the night shift, he would cook. Oh, by the way, my dad is a super-talented doctor."


    "Your dad is going to be embarrassed if he hears you."


    "It doesn''t matter what others say. My dad is the best."


    At eleven, Shea took the three down the hill. Rose could not stop talking to Irene as they made their way down.


    "You haven''t been around Aryadelle for a while, right? I can take you around! I have a substantial allowance."


    "Take me with you, Rose! I have an allowance, too!" Kiara said.


    "We will need to see if Irene is okay with that," Rose said.


    "Sure," Irene said sheepishly.


    "You are


    nice, Irene. Stay at our


    house! You can stop by anytime et

    "I might not have so much free time after I start university," Irene said.


    "Alright, then! You cane to visit whenever you have time, or we can go to you instead!" Kiara said.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    "Of course."


    Shortly after, the car arrived at Elliot''s mansion.


    Irene gaped at the luxurious mansion before her, not expecting them to be wealthy enough to live there.


    "Irene, this is my uncle''s house,"


    Rose said after getting out of the car. "Kiara and I are staying here for a while, as my uncle and aunt-in-faw are abroad. My cousin is home alone for the time being, but think she''s at work right now."


    She took Irene''s hand and led her into the yard.


    "This is the home of Elliot Foster and Avery Tate?" Irene asked warily.


    "Yeah! Do you know them? They are super nice and would buy me all sorts of gifts every year," Rose said.


    "They are busy with work most of


    the time, though."
