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 nced 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 eximed 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 red 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 epted his offer Shey 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 nced 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 bepeting. A few of us n 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 wasst


    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 slowlyposing 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 nced 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 vi.


    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 andpetent. 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 finallye 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 nonchntly 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 be prettier. You are


    looking more and more like Grace


    William’sments were undoubtedly made as topic starters for both Rose and Grace. Rose


    understood her father’s intentions andposed 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 ced 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 red at William, who was beside her, and chided “Who are youining to


    William saw Grace’s re 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 te, he


    handeds te 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 ced his hopes on his


    daughter and asked, “Rose, what do you think? Do you want toe back to stay? Your brother


    wouldn’t be able to take good care of you if you stayed at his ce.”


    Grace put her tableware down and said to her daughter. Tve already changed theyout 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 nced at Frank


    and said, “Okay, but I have a condition. Frank muste back to stay too


    Rose was too bored at home alone. She wanted someone to bicker with


    Frank raised his head and red 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 thest 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 seeded, 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 nced 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.”


    Frank was stunned when he heard that. Rose was lying through her teeth. He looked at Rose and said,


    “Is the supplementary card 1 gave you unusable? Isn’t your room full of parcels?”


    Rose nced 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 nces between the two, Grace knew that her daughter was not telling the


    truth. However, she yed along and said, “Will, give her the card.”


    William quickly stood up, took a ck card from his wallet, and handed it to his daughter before saying,


    “Rose. Here, use it as you wish. I’ll remove the notificationster. 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 epted it. Franky


    around as he watched his drama queen’s sister performed.
