Chapter 279


    At that moment,


    Rose hung up the phone and stood in front of the window. Her white pajamas blended in with the


    moonlight.


    As long as one looks up, one would feel the stars close to you. It was so close that you would


    unconsciously reach out to


    touch it


    Looking down, everything was beautiful. The night scriery in the courtyard was captivating if only one


    looked closely. It was simply breathtaking The lush trees and blooming flowerspeted for one’s


    attention. There was a crystal-clear swimming pool lined with rockery and a small bridge Colorful


    goldfish were swimming under the truall bridge.


    The entire courtyard was elegant, romantic, solemn, and pleasing to the eye.


    She couldn’t help but sigh at Will and Grace’s exquisite taste. Everyone wanted to buy a vi, and


    everyone was buying vis. Only her parents acquired a plot ofnd in the suburbs and built the house


    themselves.


    It was good to be back. It felt good to have a home Why did she not treasure this back then?


    Self-reliance Running away from home? Wasn’t this vi perfect?


    As Rose was ileep in thought, there was a saw Grace standing outside.


    k on the door. Rose came to her senses and walked over to open the door. She


    Rose opened the door a little wider to let Grace in. She smiled politely and said apologetically, “Grace,


    you’re back.” Grace was holding a bag of snacks and a te of fruits. They were all to Rose’s liking


    She handed it to Rose and replied. “T bought some after work. If you like it, eat it. If you don’t, bring it


    downstairs tomorrow”


    Rose took the bag and looked in it. It was filled to the brim. Her heart felt warm as she smiled yfully,


    “Grace,e in and have a seat


    Grace paused for a moment before entering Rose’s room in her slippers She looked around and asked,


    “Is there anything you’re unhappy withe”


    Rose ted the things on the table beside the sofa and pulled out a white ir for Grace to sit on. She


    eximed. “It’s quite good I like it”


    Grave sat down and looked up at Rose’s hair. Rose lookedfortable, pure, and young in her current


    hairstyle. Her bangs highlighted her exquisite facial features. The top of her hair was naturally fluffy,


    and the end of her hair was very smooth. Her hair color was light browni


    Her hair color was simr to Grace’s When the two stood together, Grace looked more like Rose’s


    sister.


    Noticing that Grace’s gaze was on her head. Rose pretended to be rxed and scratched her hair


    twice casually with her fingers. Rose asked with a smile. “Does it look good? I’ve thought of this color


    for a long time”


    Grace did not explicitly adout that the hairstyle looked good on cold. She was serious and quiet, to


    begin with. Grace asked, “Why did you cut your hair?


    Rose looked rxed and casually replied. “I thought your hairstyle was quite nice. I want to try it too”


    Momentster, Grace smiled and said in a low voice. “It looks good.”


    It was unknown if this sentence was meant for Rose or herself


    Rose smiled and touched her hair again before saying, “I think it looks good too. At the salon, I feared


    Tony would get too excited over the hairstyle. I was going to buy a hat at the shop. When Tony was


    cutting my hair, I kept looking at the hat. I was already thinking of a solution”


    The reason for Rose’s fear was because of her ssmates. She remembered that there was a time


    when curly hair was fashionable. Two ssmates in ss who were vain went to perm their hair. In the


    end, they came the next day furious. They looked at least ten years older.


    It was not an exaggeration to call them aunties. After school, the two vain girls went to have their hair


    straightened.


    At that time, Rose was holding her phone andparing their photos. She almost died ofughter.


    This was not an ordinary ident scene


    Recalling this joke, Roseoberts could not help but smile.


    Grace smiled faintly and looked at her daughter with a straightforward gaze. “You don’t have to cut it if


    you don’t want to. You don’t have to force yourself. No one forced you to do anything*


    Hearing Grace’s words, Rose was stunned. She stopped smiling and pursed her lips, “Mum, thank you


    for your understanding *


    Grace reached out to pull herself up before sitting on a chair beside Rose. Grace croued her legs and


    ced her hand caually on herp before saying. “Everyone makes mistakes. Who can guarantee that


    they will be rigist for the rest of their


    lives or that every decision is perfect! I can’t do it, and neither can you. Why does the pencil have to be


    matched with an Fraser Isn’t it to correct it? Won’t it look better after correction? You can make


    mistakes, but we can’t make the same mistakes repeatedly


    Tears welled up in Rose’s eyes as she looked at the trees outside the window. Tears blurred her eyes


    as she assured her mother, “I know I was blindsided in the past It won’t happen again”


    Grace had already guessed that her daughter knew the truth andforted her. “At that time, you were


    still young and could not see through people’s intentions Even people of the right age might not be able


    to see through people’s thoughts. 1 have also misjudged my subordinates in the past ”


    Grace patiently exined the human mindset to her daughter for the first ume. “This society is very


    realistic Some people approach you with ulterior motives and know how to pretend from the beginning.


    Some people are sincere with you initially but may leave you because of vested interests after a while.


    Some people can sacrifice themselves to protect you Of course, this is the most umon and also


    the most precious. I telling you this not because the people around you are unreliable and you should


    be wary of them. You should not judge others either. The society is notplicated. The human heart


    is the mostplicated because you can’t see through it. You never know what others are thinking”


    Grace was a rags-to-riches story. She was used to seeing through people’s intentions. People were


    lickle-minded and rebellious. How much could they sacrifice? In this era, it was easy to be blinded by


    fancy surroundings It was not easy to maintain one’s innocence. It was even more umon to have


    two or three good friends.


    This was Grace’s first time talking about the human heart with Rose. It was also another way of


    educating her Rose was not stupid and understood. She took a can of drink from the bag and handed it


    to Grace before saying generously. “Thank you for sharing your experience, Grace I salute you”


    Grace opened the lid and gently clinked it with Rose’s can. She suddenly realized that her daughter


    had grown up. Grace’s eyes welled up as she raised her head and sipped her drink. Her lips quivered.


    After Grace left. Rose was in a good mood. It was as if she had cleared her emotional baggage. She


    picked up his phone and took a beautiful photo of the snacks and fruits on the table. Then, she


    uploaded the picture online and added the caption, “Thank you for freding me. Grace I love you”


    Rose was satisfied with her post. It looked good from all angles. Then, she posted Ava’s photo on her


    social media and added the caption. The poor little princess had encountered a problem and has been


    trying to solve it all day and night. She has moved to the dormitory and continues to fight hard day and


    night. Sending you hugs and kisses Keep fighting””


    The post was uploaded onto Rose s social media.


    After finishing her posts, Rose happily put on her earphones and listened to the music of her liking. She


    was even humming a small song as she leisurely ate her snacks. At this moment, she wished she had


    two months so that she could eat snacks and sing at the same time


    Just as she was eating happily, there was a knock on the door. She thought it was Grace again and


    quickly put on her slippers. to open the door However, it was Frank standing outside with two bags of


    snacks


    Rose looked at her brother outside the door in disbelief. She licked her dry lips, removed her


    earphones with one hand, and asked. “What are you doing?”


    Frank looked at his short-haired sister inquisitively and snapped, “It’s for you. I’m afraid you’ll starve to


    death”


    Rose thought. “What’s going on today? Should I open a snack shop with this many sucks? I’m so


    lucky!”


    She hurriedly took the bag and ran into the room. Frank entered without invitation and casually walked


    in. He looked around and said, “It looks like a cozy nest”


    Rose was in a good mood and did not argue with the sharp-tongued man. She said, “Is there anything


    else”


    Frank did not waste any time and reached out his hand to say, “Can I borrow your phone? My phone is


    spoilt.”


    “Frank, can youe up with a better reason? Don’t tell me you want to see something from my


    phone. Tell me the truth”


    How could Mr. Roberts of the Roberts family not be able to afford a mobile phone? What kind of joke


    was this? Nobody. would believe him. Was he trying to act dumb?


    Frank took out his phone and shoved it to Rose before saying, “ck screen, did you see that? Do you


    think Irn as free as you


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Rose still did not believe him and suggested enthusiastically, “Use thendline at home instead”


    Frank said frankly, “Tell me, what are your conditions?”


    Rose’s was full of mischief. She no longer probed into his purpose of borrowing her phone. Anyway,


    there was nothing private on her phone. It mostly contained her selfies and it did not matter. She asked


    tentatively. “Really? Any condition? You can’t go back on your word.”


    Frank said impatiently. “When did I go back on my word?”


    While Frank had a sharp tongue, he always meant what he said. He had never broken his promise.


    That was true.


    As long as it was within his means, Frank would agree immediately. He would never say yes to


    something he could not deliver. He would not even respond to the request.


    He was a reliable person who never made empty promises.


    “Trant think of any conditions at the moment. I’ll owe you the conditions first I haven’t thought about it


    yet. I’ll fulfill it with you when I think of it” Rose said. She was not stupid. Frank just wanted to see


    something on her phone. It was a good deal to exchange her phone for any conditions.


    After negotiating the terms, she generously stuffed the phone into Frank’s hand and continued eating


    nonchntly.


    With her back facing Frank, she said graciously. There’s no hurry to return it. Give it to me tomorrow


    morning”


    held Roses phone and red at the back of her head before saying. “Sleep early Arent you afraid of


    overeating at ht? You don’t look like a girl at all. Did you screw up your hair at the salon again**


    Rose turned around and red at him angrily. Then, she nced at the phone in his hand. “Are you


    trying to kill me? If you thin movereating, why did you still buy me so many snacks? You’re such an


    asshole! I’ll call you Roberts Bitch from now


    Frank ignored her and returned to his room with her phone.
