Chapter 452


    A long ck table was ced by the greenhouse. It was big enough for 20 people to sit at.


    There was a great variety of drinks, fruits, and snacks on the table. They were all prepared by Frank as


    well as Mr. and Mrs. Robertsst night.


    At this moment, the Roberts family’s bodyguards were busy preparing for the gathering that night. They


    went back and forth, either moving stools or shooting balloons. It was gradually getting lively.


    The branches were hung with night lights, and there was a swing by the greenhouse. Balloons were


    piled up all over the ground in different kinds of shapes, including the heart ones. However, it was hard


    work for these tough guys to make those lovely balloons.


    During the day, Frank went to work at thepany. Ava and Rose stayed at home to prepare for the


    gathering and swore that they would do a great job.


    At this moment, the two of them divided the work and worked together to instruct the bodyguards on


    how to do the setup. Ava held a milkshake in her hand as she sat on the swing and watched leisurely.


    She took out her phone and took a photo of the bodyguards and the beautiful scenery, which had been


    well set. She sent the photo to Frank and asked him if it looked good.


    Frank was in a meeting at thepany. When he felt his phone in his pocket buzz, he raised his hand


    and gestured for his employees to wait. When he saw that it was a message from the youngdy, he


    said, “Not bad. Wait a moment.”


    Ava read his reply and felt that she might have disturbed Frank. “Okay. Go ahead with your work. I can


    handle the preparations. Bye. Love you.”


    Frank replied, “Okay.”


    “Let’s proceed.


    Night quietly fell. The lights on the tree branches began to flicker like stars. The dark sky was also filled


    with stars. Looking up, one could see a sea of stars.


    At night, the Roberts vi was brightly lit as if it were daytime. Cars drove in one after another at the


    entrance.


    The first to enter was Trevon and Natalie’s car. The ck Maybach stopped in the parking lot on the


    side of the Roberts vi. The couple opened the car door and got out together.


    Trevon walked around the back of the car and quickly walked to Natalie to support her. He reminded


    her carefully. “Take it easy.”


    “I’m fine. I can walk on my own. I’m only four months pregnant and can handle our twins. Go to Frank.


    I’ll go to Ava and the girls.”


    “Okay. I’ll walk you to them.” Trevon insisted again, afraid that something would happen to her.


    Natalie looked around and could not help but sigh. “Rose’s ce is like paradise. There are birds


    singing and flowers. How big is this vi? It must have taken us several minutes to drive in, right?”


    As soon as Natalie entered the vi, she felt that it wasparable to her uncle’s manor, but it had a


    different style. The Roberts vi had a modern charm and ancient nostalgia. She could not tell exactly


    what style it was.


    Trevon supported her carefully. “If you like it, we can build one ourselves. Their vi is an illegal

    construction. Its size was not approved”


    Natalie burst intoughter. “Are you trying to say that you’re a well–behaved citizen?”


    The Wilson’s residence was not small either. It was about the same size as the Roberts vi.


    Trevon asked Am I not well–behaved in any way?”


    Natalie chose not to answer since what he asked had a different meaning. “Let’s go in.”


    In the living room, Rose and Ava were hiding in the kitchen to watch the chefs make delicacies and


    pastries. As usual, Rose took photos with her phone. The clicking sounds were continuous.


    Natalie said to the two people with their backs facing her, “What are you guys looking at? Are you


    stealing food?”


    Upon hearing this, the two of them turned around with smiles on their faces. “Natalie,e over now.


    What’s up with Sherri and Edward? Why aren’t they here yet?”


    They nced at the door and saw that there was still no sign of Sherri.


    Natalie teased, “Do you think Sherri or Edward is dawdling?”


    Rose fiddled with her hair shyly, which was rare. “Well, he will send me a message when he gets here.


    I’m not waiting for him


    Actually, everyone knew that Rose was waiting for Edward. However, while waiting, she had to stay


    busy. For example, she got busy taking photos while she kept staring at the door.


    “Sis, this is delicious. It has sugar crisps in it. It’s crispy and fragrant. Try it


    Ava picked up an oval–shaped sugar pastry and handed it to Natalie. As a member of the Roberts


    family, she had to act like a proper host. Natalie smiled when she saw this, but Ava did not notice it.


    Actually, although Ava and Frank hadn’t got married yet, they now acted like a real couple. “When are


    you and Frank getting married?”


    Ava held her arm. “I’ll marry him when I’m stronger. Do you think that’s a good idea?”


    Natalie took a bite of the pastry. It was indeed quite delicious. She narrowed her eyes at his sister and


    asked, “Stronger? What do you mean? Are you trying to be a strong woman?”


    “I admire Frank’s mom very much. Since the Roberts fatnily’spany is so big, 1 figure that Frank will


    have a tough time handling the business alone if I stay at home and be a housewife. I want to help out.”


    Natalie thought, “Frank should be very touched to know that. My sister, who does not do any chores,


    ns to work hard just to reduce Frank’s burden.”


    It could only be said that love could change people and also make them mature.


    “So you’re doing it secretly and aren’t going to tell Frank?”


    “That’s right. Please don’t tell your husband about it. I’m still learning. Actually, I think it’s quite fun to go


    to work. I can gain a lot of things every day.


    Recently, Ava had seen a lot of things that she had not seen before. When she was in Sapphire City,


    she knew that her father and brother had a hard time working, but this hardship was different from the


    hardship she had learned. Previously, she merely learned about it in the dictionary. Now, she could feel


    the inner meaning of hardship.


    In short, she had different thinking since she had experienced different things.


    Rose went out again, obviously to wait for Edward.


    “I won’t tell him. You can do it.” Couples should share their burdens if they were into a long–term


    rtionship.


    Ava bent down slightly and stroked Natalie’s protruding belly as she whispered, “Darlings, I’m Auntie


    Ava. Be good girls. Don’t be tough on your mom.”


    Frank and Trevon, who were talking on the sofa, happened to see it. Actually, it was not a coincidence


    because they stared at their girls from time to time.


    Trevon took a candy from the table and opened the package. “It seems that my sister–inw likes


    babies quite a lot. You’re a lot behind since you guys don’t n to get married sooner.”


    Frank was not blind. Of course, he could tell that his love liked babies very much. “We’ll wait a little


    longer.”


    “If you keep waiting, Rose’s babies will be born.” Trevon provoked him as he leanedzily on the sofa.


    What he said was very likely to happen. Ava would graduate in at least a year. It was not impossible for


    Rose and Edward to get married before Frank and Ava did. Frank did not deny it.


    “I won’t stop her if she wants to get married.” Frank then looked at his sister, who was casually leaning


    against the door and looking around, like an unprofessional doorman.


    She was desperately waiting for her lover. It was not strange for them to get married next year.


    Upon hearing Frank’s words, Trevon clearly felt his helplessness and powerlessness. He smiled slyly


    Tens of minutester, three people came to the door. They were Hackett, Sherri, and Edward.


    Hackett and Edward were both wearing casual clothes. Hackett was dressed in his usual coquettish


    manner, while Edward was rtively in.


    Beforeing, Edward was conflicted about whether to wear formal or casual clothes. In the end, he


    chose casual clothes because Rose’s family was rtively casual. If he wore a suit, he would look


    rigid.


    In the end, Edward chose casual clothes. Clearly, this choice was right because everyone in the vi


    was wearing casual clothes. None of them were in suits.


    Edward was holding several exquisite gift boxes in his hand. Rose took two from him and followed


    beside him as if to cimbolden him.


    Frank felt helpless when he noticed that. He wasn’t going to do anything to Edward. If he wanted to


    make things difficult for him, he wouldn’t even let Edward enter. Frank wondered, “This girl is too


    concerned about her boyfriend!”


    As soon as everyone stepped into the living room, Mr. and Mrs. Roberts, who had just changed their


    clothes upstairs, came downstairs. They saw Edward, who hade in.


    Grace simply nodded. William met Rose’s nervous gaze and could not bear to leave Edward hanging.


    He slowly went downstairs. “Come in and take a seat. Don’t stand there. Frank, entertain him.”


    Frank said, “He’s already here by our ce. Ile can be well–entertained by staying outside the house.”


    “Can’t you just be nice to him, Frank?”


    Trevonughed. “Your sister is quite concerned about her lover.”


    “She is concerned now, and I’m afraid that she will fall for himpletely.” Frank wondered, “This girl


    will totally fall for him. She is heartless and simple–minded. She only works hard on things she likes.


    When there’s something she feels that she doesn’t have to work hard on, she wouldn’t be bothered to


    think.”


    Edward said politely and appropriately, “Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Roberts,”


    After saying that, he ced the gifts on the coffee table. He did not introduce what he had brought.


    William was quite pleased. For his daughter’s sake, he did not neglect Edward. “You don’t have to bring


    anything when youe over next time. We’re happy that you would pay us a visit.”


    Grace could tell that Edward was a little nervous. She instructed her daughter, “Rose, why don’t you


    take him to the courtyard?”


    “Well, okay. Let’s go, Frank. I’ll show you what I bought with Ava today. After saying that, Rose hield


    Edward’s hand and left. Edward politely nodded at everyone and also nodded at Grace.


    His mother–inw liked him, but his father–inw was helpless.


    Sherri and Natalie greeted Grace and William. In order not to disturb the young people, the couple


    decided to leave. “We’re going out for a while. Entertain everyone well, Frank.”


    Frank did not agree. “There’s no need for you guys to go out. Just stay.”


    “Although I look quite young. I can’t disturb your gathering. You can have fun as you want. I’ll go out


    with Grace to have some alone time.”


    Frank said, “Fine.”


    William had indeed nned to bring Grace to have some alone time. He had even booked a restaurant


    and nned to take a walk by the beach after dinner. The two of them had been quite busy and did not


    have time to go out alone.


    Love had nothing to do with age, nor did romance have anything to do with age. The feelings of love


    were the only thing that mattered.


    Rose held Edward’s hand, feeling a little shy. This was the first time she had brought a guy home, and


    it was openly. “Edward, actually, I didn’t call you here today to ask you for a promise. It doesn’t mean


    that you have to marry me in the future just because you came to my house. If you…”


    After that, Edward interrupted her by kissing her. Since they were in the Roberts vi, Edward knew his


    limits. He gave a light kiss and retreated. The two of them were at the edge of the fish pond. The


    gathering was at the greenhouse, which was still a distance away.


    Edward pressed her into his arms and rested his chin on the top of Rose’s head. “Rose, have you


    forgotten what I said in Hailnd? I am a decent man. The bad things you’ve mentioned don’t and will


    never happen. It’s merely in your imagination


    “You get to decide when we will get married. I won’t back down. Got that?”


    Her muffled voice sounded in Edward’s arms. “Okay. Got it.”


    In the living room it was extremely lively. The women were gathered together, and the men were


    gathered together. Hackett approached Frank and tried to sow discord. “Mr. and Mrs. Roberts let Rose


    bring her lover in like this without making things difficult for him. He’s having an overly easy time, isn’t


    he?”


    Trevon said, “If you want a divorce, you can go on with your dark thoughts.”


    Hackett looked up and saw Sherri in the distance. “I was joking. I’m just curious why you guys took him


    in so quickly. You have to test him no matter what.”


    Frank satzily on the sofa. He took an orange and peeled it slowly. “He’s a better man than you are.”


    “How is that possible? Tell me, how is he better than me?”


    Frank and Trevon both nced at his private part with meaningful eyes and a smile on their faces.


    Hackett subconsciously mped his legs together. “Damn. What are you two doing? I’m a capable


    man.


    He wondered, “How perverted! Sherri and I are about to have two babies. Frank is the incapable one


    since he’s not having any.”
