Chapter 363


    At the ckwell family’s house.


    Hackett stared at Frank’s message and fell into deep thought.


    He became fixated on losing the debate about the gene of twins. He suddenly experienced a sh of


    inspiration and shouted at Sherri, who was reading a parenting book on the bed, “Baby, I have an


    excellent idea. Do you want to hear it?”


    As he spoke, he climbed onto the bed and smiled brightly.


    Sherri held the book and looked up to see a hint of conspiracy in Hackett’s eyes.


    He did not hide it at all. Even a blind person could sense it.


    “You’re not telling me you can’t resist your urge and want to get a lover?” This was Sherri’s first


    reaction. After all, she could not make out with him now.


    Hackett thought, “Oh my. Where’s that thoughte out?”


    He raised his hand and swore. “What are you thinking about? Honey, I don’t have the urge or the guts


    to do this. Don’t worry. It’s already tiresome enough for me to distribute seeds on yournd. I’ll be crazy


    if I dare to find another one.”


    With that said, Sherri’s expression immediately softened. The corners of her mouth turned high, and


    her eyes lit up. She was satished with his answer. “Then what do you want to tell me?”


    Hackett leaned against the back of the bedside and said in a scheming tone. “Natalie is pregnant,


    right? Frank said in the group chat that this gene came from Ava’s family, so Natalie’s pregnancy with


    twins is 100%; due to the gene. It definitely has nothing to do with Trevon. If Natalie’s twins will have a


    daughter and we a son, how about we let them be together in the future?”


    Sherri felt it was a good idea, yet, she had already arranged for Ruby’s future boyfriend. “Hackett, but


    Ruby is going to be with Jasper”


    On the day of her pregnancy test, Sherri also said she wanted another betrothal of her kid and


    Natalie’s. Later, when she went home and thought about it again, this idea seemed strange.


    If she was pregnant with a son and her son was engaged to Natalie’s daughter, her son would also be


    Ruby’s brother-inw. It would be too weird.


    Harkett was upset. “No. I don’t want Ruby to be Trevon’s daughter-inw. Absolutely not. If the little


    one in your belly is a boy, I want Trevon’s daughter to be my daughter-inw. If a girl, 1 want her to stay


    away from Trevon’s three sons in the


    future.”


    Sherri was speechless. Hackett was a crazy protector of his daughter, even though he was unsure if he


    would have one now.


    Atst, Sherri was convinced by Hackett’s words.


    Sherri did not tell Hackett that she liked Jasper very much, though she would not interfere with Ruby’s


    future love life.


    In the blink of an eye, it was the following Sunday.


    Natalie and Sherri were at home with their husbands and children this weekend.


    Only Rose, the single one, was bored. When she went to the pier to look for her brother, Frank only


    held his phone and smiled like a fool.


    Rose could not stand the lovey-dovey vibe around her. She needed to find a quiet ce to cleanse her


    mind.


    She did not want to be immersed in the thought that she was lonely.


    Panting, Rose climbed up to the tallest church in Athana. It was in a lush area surrounded by


    mountains and towering ancient trees. One could smell the scent of nature with a light breath


    It was quiet around the church in the early morning. One could hear the church bells ring, calling the


    faithful to worship and purify their souls.


    Rose walked toward the entrance and took a brochure of the church and wee packets. She even


    put a donation in one of the offertory boxes.


    She took the things and walked inside the church. This was her first timeing to the church. She


    observed other people’s etiquettes and how they worshipped. She took a seat, and after watching for a


    while, she seemed to have learned it.


    Rose memorized other people’s movements. She folded hernds, bowed her head, and kneeled on


    the kneeling of a pew. She began to pray sincerely.


    When she closed her eyes, a man came to the pew and knelt beside her. He was also praying in the


    same posture.


    Rose prayed silently. “May Grace and William be safe, healthy, and have a great day every day. May


    my brother be with Ava happily for the rest of their lives. I hope Natalie and Sherri can give birth to their


    babies safely. May God bless me to be


    She only opened her eyes after praying all she wanted.


    When she got up, Rose saw a person wearing ck jeans, a creain-colored shirt with ck pinstripes,


    and a pair of white shoes with air cushions.


    It was Sherri’s brother as well as Rose’s savior. What a coincidence!


    Perhaps sensing the scorching gaze on the side, Edward opened his eyes and looked at the person


    beside her. His eyes widened in a second.


    Edward’s mouth tell agape.


    “Miss Roberts?” Edward eximed in surprise,


    He felt that he had been a little troubled recently, so he came to the church to pray and find inner


    peace. He did not expect


    to meet Rose here.


    Rose was also surprised. “Hey, what a coincidence. But you should probably finish your prayer before


    we talk.”


    It was disrespectful and insincere to chat while praying.


    “Alright.” Edward continued to close his eyes, but there were doubts in his heart.


    The bodyguards in the dark were astounded again. They already could not believe their eyes to see


    Rose climbing the mountain so early in the morning. Now that they felt even more unbelievable to see


    Edward here.


    One of them said. “The ces where Miss Roberts dates with Mr. Landor are unusual.”


    Another one echoed, “Tell me about it. Last time, they drove the car to the countryside and then


    returned. This time, they clunbed the highest church. Perhaps that’s what rich people like to do.”


    “Well, their rtionship is much more interesting than Frank’s”


    “That’s for sure. Miss Roberts is a girl full of whims. Didn’t she ride a dude’s electric motorcycle at the


    pier and have a crash a few days ago? She rode the motorcycle and knocked off the car door of


    Frank’s project partner”


    “Miss Roberts is awesome. I admire her. There aren’t many people whoe to the church to have a


    date.”


    “Maybe they hope that God could bless them. Let’s just follow them.”


    Rose stood outside the church and looked down at the foot of the mountain. It was tall. No wonder so


    many people came to worship. Firstly, climbing up could show their sincerity. Secondly, it was quiet at


    such a high ce. Even if people did note to the church, they could have inner peace from


    nature.


    The sunlight shone on the man who came out of the door. His tall figure stepped out of the door. He


    was refined and elegant. In ancient times, Edward might have been a gracelul young prince.


    Rose stared at Edward for a few seconds before looking away.


    Edward came out from inside and looked up at Rose, wearing a cream-colored hoodie and pants. It


    was simple and neat. He took a step forward politely “Miss Roberts, are you religious?”


    Edward was not an indifferent person. He was careful and gentle. He would not ignore someone he


    knew.


    Rose smiled. The sun shone on her body, making her feel even warmer. “How should I put it? Those


    who came here might not necessarily be religious Perhaps there are things they wish toe true.


    Would it be rude for me to say so?”


    Edward agreed with what Rose had said. The people who came to the church might not be religious.


    Some might have been devout, while some might be desperate and have no ces to go. In short, only


    those who prayed knew what they prayed for.


    It was just like how not all the people who went to the City Hall and got married were in love with each


    other. Some might make do with each other, some might get married by agreement, and some might


    be together out of love. Only they knew


    the reason.


    Edward was still holding the church brochure. He said calinly, “No. I think it might be the truth.”


    It suddenly urred to Edward that this ce was quite far from the city. He did not think Rose could


    drive here herself with her poor driving skills. “Did you drive here yourself, Miss Roberts?”


    Hearing this, Rose said faster than she could think, “I took a taxi.*


    She repeated, “Right. I took a taxi here.”


    For some reason, Edward felt it was suitable for her to take a taxi. At least, it would be better than her


    driving. Rose’s driving was dangerous, and she might kill herself if she was not careful enough.


    In the end, Rose and Edward did not stay at the church for long because the other one was around,


    Rose was actually a sensitive person. She could see theplicated emotions in Edward’s eyes. She


    guessed it was because of Natalie, but she said nothing about it. Instead, she warmly invited him to


    walk with her.


    “Mr. Landor, since we’re here at this nice ce, why don’t we go for a walk and feel the beautiful

    nature? Rose suggested


    Rose had always felt that Edward hid many things in his heart, which wore him out. He carried heavy


    emotional burdens and could not say or do whatever he wanted like Rose and her friends did.


    Although her brother was also a man of few words, he could sleep or date whenever he wanted to.


    Frank knew what he wanted and had ways to achieve his goals. He lived freely.


    Edward met Rose’s sincere eyes. He felt it was wrong to turn her down and did not want to be rude. In


    addition, he dide today to rx, so he agreed. “Sure. Miss Roberts, do you know the way?”


    Rose did not know, but she did not n to tell him. Even though the church area was quiterge, she


    thought she would not get lost. She said uncertainly. “How about we make a mark anywhere we go?”


    “It was a great idea. That was what Rose thought.


    She could not use the navigation app there. She could not enter the word “exit” in the app. The church


    was not a tourist area and did not have a map.


    She had to walk on foot.


    Edward was lost for words. He thought. “Does she not know how to remember the route? Well, that’s


    funny.”


    He had a new impression of Rose. He could basically confirm that she had a poor sense of direction.


    Edward did not want to hurt Rose’s feelings, so he replied patiently. “I know the way.”


    Rose thought, “Why bother asking me if you already knew the way? Forget it. Im not a petty person. I’ll


    let it go since you look so depressed. After all, you’re my savior.”


    The two of them walked side by side without saying a word. The bodyguards following them secretly


    and slowly were dressed in in clothes and looked like they were there to visit the church.


    Rose and Edward walked together without speaking. Such an atmosphere was too oppressive for Rose


    because she was born a lively person. She tried to lighten the mood. “Mr. Landor, how did you know


    about this church?”


    Edward walked forward with the church brochure in one hand and the other in his pocket. “I looked it


    up


    “Really? Join the club!”


    online.”


    Rose started talking non-stop. Edward inexplicably felt that Rose was like his sister Sherri, and he did


    not think her noisy. However, there were always intruders who spoiled the beautiful picture. Not all


    fated people could meet, and those not could also encounter.
