Chapter 408
For the rest of the time, Edward went to pick up Rose for lunch every afternoon. No matter what, Rose
temporarily left the organization.
Only Sherri and Natalie were left in the hospital.
Soon, it was May 27th.
On this day. Rose returned from her meal as usual. However, she did not look for Sherri and the others.
Instead, she went straight to the HR department to apply for leave.
When she came out after applying for leave, she bumped into Natalieing out of the washroom.
She nced at the leave slip in her hand and asked, “Are you applying for leave?”
Rose nced at the note in her hand and replied, “Yes, I’ll tell you what to do. You can’t tell Ava. Isn’t
tomorrow Ava’s birthday? My brother is preparing to propose to Ava and then settle the marriage first.”
When Natalie heard this, she felt that Frank must have nned this for a long time. However, the two
of them had been dating for a few months. Both families knew about it. Whether it was Ava or Frank,
they were all devoted people who wanted to get married.
“Your pediatrics department has been quite busy recently. What excuse did you use to apply for leave?
Will the HR department let you go?”
Natalie asked curiously.
Rose smiled and handed the note to Natalie. She said softly, “This stays between us. Don’t tell your
Old Trevon.”
This made Natalie even more curious. At the same time, she felt that the reason was definitely not
simple. She took the note and looked at it. She looked up at Rose suspiciously. “Are you sure this is
good?”
Rose took back the leave slip and stuffed it into her pocket. “I can’t think of a way either. Besides, it’s
not easy to apply for leave now. I’ve used up all the reasons I could think ofst time. I used this reason
to be coherent.”
The reason said on the note was imprinted in Natalie’s mind. “My brother is going to be removed from
the family tree tomorrow and officially be a live-in son-inw. The entire family is sad. I’m afraid
that my parents will do something stupid. I hope the leader will allow me to look after my parents.
Thank you”
She finally knew why Trevon Wilson couldn’t find out. This reason was probably the only reason in the
world that Rose could think of. Even Sherri wasn’t at such a high realm.
In the end, Natalie silently gave Rose a thumbs up. “You’re really awesome. You might have been left
behind by aliens in
Athana for fun.”
“It’s a secret” After saying that, Rose made a clicking gesture, indicating that she wanted to silence
her.
Natalie changed the topic. “I’ve already sent the gift over. A few days ago, I was still nning to apply
for leave, but Aunt and the others didn’t agree, so I sent the gift over. It should be about today. When
he proposes, remember to help Ava take photos and record beautiful memories. As her elder sister, I
might not be able to go. I’ll leave this mission to you.”
Natalie felt a little regretful and apologetic.
Roseforted her warmly. She knew that Ava was very important to Natalie. He hugged Natalie’s
shoulder and said, “Hey, aren’t you pregnant? If you weren’t pregnant, you would have died long ago.
Ava can understand. I’ll broadcast it live for you guys.”
“Okay, thank you.”
“It’s not a big deal. Taking photos is my hobby. I’m very skilled.”
Natalie admitted that Rose’s post was better at taking photos of living things or herself.
In the evening, the Roberts family boarded the ne.
On the ne, Rose sent a message to her brother. “We’re ready to set off. You’ve been in Sapphire
City for a week. Are you done?”
“Yes.
“I really don’t know how Ava can stand your stinginess for words. I won’t ask you for money even if I
say another word.” This time, Frank replied with four words. “It depends on people.”
“Crap.”
After the ne took off, Rose started sleeping. She might need to help her brother see if he had
missed anything at night. She would probably have to stay upte. If she slept for a while now, she
could still sleep for a few hours.
William was a little excited. Back when he was working hard, he had never thought that he would have
a son who would
propose marriage one day.
At that time, he was prepared to be hacked to death at any time. He did not expect to live so long and
have a son and a daughter. He also had a beautiful and cold wife. He sighed. “Gracie, are you
excited?”
William rarely used this name. It was only when he was aroused, or when he made a mistake, or when
he wanted to express
his emotions.
Grace nced at him. “What are you trying to say?”
“I want to say that we’re very happy. Our son is about to be engaged. I never thought that I, William
Roberts, would have such a day.”
Grace understood what he meant. She reached out and interlocked her fingers with his. “Didn’t you say
that your life would get better and better with you? Now that you’ve done it, you’re evenmenting.”
“Gracie, you’re my lucky star.”
Grace’s eyes shed, and she held his hand even tighter. The warmth of their palms allowed them to
feel each other’s feelings. Even without saying a word, she knew what this action meant.
A few hourster.
The nended at the airport of Sapphire City. Frank was already waiting at the airport. Seeing them
After William’s luggage was taken away by his son, he held Grace’s hand. Grace did not refuse. Being
held by him was an invisible indulgence.
Rose took three steps forward and pushed her suitcase to her brother. She naturally held her brother’s
wrist. “Tm so tired. At least you have a conscience to pick us up.”
Frank nced at her in disdain, but he did not shake her hand off. He pulled the two suitcases with one
hand and said. angrily. “I’m here to pick up Grace, William. You can do whatever you want.”
Rose pouted and leaned against Frank. “You’ve forgotten about your sister after getting a wife. Forget
it, I won’t argue with you on ount that an old leftover man like you has finally caught someone’s
eye.”
Frank took the Roberts couple and Rose to the Sapphire Hotel and put their luggage in the presidential
suite that they had booked in advance.
Rose shared a suite with Grace and William
The night was dark and the moon was shining brightly.
An office in the Sapphire Hotel. It was wide. Seven people were sitting in the coffee room with a stack
of documents on the
table.
A woman was wearing a simple and elegant gown, with flowers blooming in summer. Her hair was tied
up with a bright white jade hairpin. She was dignified, elegant, and gentle. She also had the charm of a
As for the other woman, it formed a contrast. She was wearing ck wide-legged trousers and a
casual shirt. Her corbone hair was casually tied behind. Her entire face was cold, making it
impossible to tell her age, but she had a strong aura.
On the other hand, the men were dressed much simpler. One was wearing a formal gray suit, and the
other was wearing a
white suit.
On such an asion, Rose needed to reduce her presence. When she entered, she had already
politely called out to someone. She lowered her head and sat beside her brother, pursing her lips
without saying a word. She was here today to be a witness and appear for free.
Daniel Turner, who was wearing a gray suit, spoke first. He was approachable and did not have the airs
of a rich man. “It’s been hard on you toe all the way here. If you have anything you’re not satisfied
with staying in the hotel, feel free to
mention it.”
William politely greeted, “They’re all quite good. I heard from Frank that this hotel is yours. This is many
times better than Frank’s hotel.”
“Mr. Roberts, you’re too kind. Your son is very capable. Grand Manor is not inferior to my Sapphire
Hotel.”
Grace didn’t like such formalities. She liked to be direct, but today’s asion was different. She didn’t
n to continue the small talk. She nced at Emma Turner, who had been sitting upright and
dignified. Her red lips moved slightly. “I hope you can forgive me foring so suddenly today. I
believe Mr. Turner and Mrs. Turner know our family. My name is Grace Roberts, and I’m Frank’s
mother. We’re here today mainly to propose on behalf of our son. I wonder if Mr. Turner and Mrs.
Turner have any thoughts.
Today, you’re the first and we’re the second. Don’t be polite just because we’re guests.”
William chimed in, “That’s right, Mr. Turner. If you have any thoughts, feel free to ask. We’ll think of a
way to satisfy you if we can. It’s all for the sake of the child.”
Joseph couldn’t help but look up at the woman who spoke directly. He had investigated Frank’s mother.
It could be said that there was no need to investigate. He would know after asking.
She was very famous. When she was ruthless, she was even more ruthless than Frank’s father. She
did things cleanly. Frank directly inherited his mother’s genes. Without any nonsense, he went straight
to the point.
An hour ago, Frank called Joseph and directly said that he wanted to propose to Ava. He also told
Joseph his ns for tomorrow and hoped to give the phone to Ava’s father, Daniel Turner.
When Daniel picked up the phone, Frank was polite and direct. He told him his thoughts and even
made a guarantee.
In the end, the three of them agreed toe to the Sapphire Hotel because Frank was going to
surprise Ava tomorrow.
Upon hearing this. Emma smiled gently and elegantly picked up the coffee cup, and took a sip. She
gently put it down and continued to pursed her lips without saying anything.
With his parents around, Frank chose not to make a sound. He knew that his mother could handle
Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
things well. Rose lowered her head and paced around the few of them.
Daniel agreed with William’s words. A rich family like theirs just wanted to see every child happy. “Mr.
Roberts is right. It’s for the child. We quite like Frank Ava also likes him. Otherwise, our requests are
secondary. We only have one request. Ava can be happy. At home, she is pampered by us like a
princess. As a father, I definitely hope that there will be someone who can rece us and pamper her
for the rest of my life.
“Although Ava is not old and has lived at the top of the pyramid since she was young, she is not
arrogant and domineering. I believe that you can feel this after being together for so long. She is
different from other princesses. She does not have princess syndrome.”
Frank nodded and responded politely. He reached out to refill Mr. Turner’s ss and refilled his
parents’ ss. “I know. I like Ava, not for her family. Just as Ava said, she likes me as a person. I’m the
same for no other reason.”
Daniel thought, “Is this kid telling us that Ava only likes him? Is this a pointer?”
Joseph curled his lips in a way that no one could see. He picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. His
gazended on Frank. Frank smiled and reached out to refill his cup.
William ced a stack of documents in front of the Turner family and exined, “This is the sincerity
we brought. Mr. Turner can ask for it again. I’m not very cultured. I won’t say beautiful words.”
Grace noticed that Daniel did not take it. Instead, Emma nced at it. Grace had always been
observant. She could also tell that although the person speaking for the Turner family was a man, the
most useful person to talk to was still this gentle and silent woman.
“Mrs. Turner, why don’t you take a loqk?”
Emma picked up the information and looked at it. Daniel naturally did not object. He mainly did not
know what his wife was thinking and did not dare to agree rashly.
The betrothal gifts were made into a concise list of gifts. There were 50% shares of the Roberts Group
and a jewelrypany. All the shares under the name of Frank in Lithern Club, Grand Manor were
written as betrothal gifts. There were 88 misceneous shares. The meaning was quite good.
Putting down the list of gifts, Emma handed the documents to her husband beside her. She sat upright
with her hands on herp and replied in a soft voice, “I agree to this marriage. But the gifts are too
expensive. Just as my husband said, we only want Ava to be happy. Frank, can you do that and
cherish Ava forever?”
“I promise.” Then, Frank took out all the defensive maps of the Roberts family and ced them on the
table. “My life is in your hands.”
When the Turner family saw these things, they were all shocked, including Joseph. They understood
how eager Frank wanted to marry Ava. Not only the defensive map of Athana but all of them.
Without using anything else, the importance of thest piece of information to the Roberts family was
self-evident. In the end, Emma did not take it and took a piece of Athana’s. “If we don’t take it at all, it
will show that we’re not qualified as Ava’s parents. We’ll take the piece of Athana as a reminder to you
to always remember your promise in the future. How about that
Frank promised again, “Thank you, Madam. I won’t go back on my word.”
Emma smiled and nodded.
In the end, Daniel said after his wife finished speaking. “Frank, we agree now, but if Ava doesn’t agree
to your proposal tomorrow, our agreement won’t count. You still have to work hard.”
“I know, Mister.”
Even so, the Turner family knew that it was impossible for Ava to refuse. They could tell how much this
girl liked Frank.
In the end, regarding the betrothal gift, the Turner family did not ask for the Roberts family’s shares, nor
did they intend to let Frank leave with nothing from the koberts family. They knew the impact of the
change in Roberts Group shares in
The Turner family repeatedly refused to ept 10% at most, no more. Just like when Trevon Wilson
proposed marriage. Ava was going to be happy, and they were not selling their daughter,
The only requirement was for Ava to be happy. They would treat Ava well in the future.
