Chapter 361 You Can Stop Pretending Now


    As soon as Rose was released, she hailed a taxi and headed directly to the Fu Family''s house in A


    City.


    When the cab halted to a stop in front of the house, she frowned with confusion glinting in her eyes.


    The building, which erected tall, seemed very familiar to her.


    Secondster, bits and pieces of her memories came shing in her head. Distressed, Rose smashed


    her head with her hand, trying to bring her back into her sense, but the scenarios in her mind only


    became blurrier.


    She had an elder sister called Anne,


    and it looked to her that she liked her sister very much.


    But her memories served her differently. She remembered that she treated Anne terribly, but why would


    she like Anne so much?


    For a moment, Rose''s mind was thrown into a mess. She wanted to figure it out, but no matter how


    hard she tried, she just couldn''t.


    Suddenly, a ck car stopped at the gate. When two people walked out of the car, Rose''s eyes


    instantly lit up.


    She recognized those two––they were Anne and Kevin.


    At the sight of Rose, the two immediately looked at each other and frowned at the same time.


    The Luo Family had been searching for Rose ever since she disappeared. But amidst their great effort,


    no result hade their way.


    As for Kim''s influence, Anne was well aware that no matter how hard Rose tried, she couldn''t escape


    from his control. But seeing that she was here flesh and blood, Anne could only think of one


    exnation––Kim set Rose free.


    But then, why did he let her go?


    Anne suddenly recalled what happened a few days ago. Sam was still recuperating in the hospital, and


    now Rose had reappeared. What the hell was Kim thinking?


    "Rose, what are you doing here?" Kevin asked while looking at her with evident disgust.


    However, ignoring his words, Rose nced at Anne with surprise.

    She stared at her sister with utmost admiration, as if she was a dog who got reunited with her long-lost


    master.


    But to her dismay, Anne took a step back subconsciously, sensing something bizarre with Rose.


    "Sis Anne, I finally found you!" Rose stepped forward and threw herself into Anne''s arms. "Anne, you''re


    finally here! Don''t you know? I''ve missed you so much! I tried so hard to find you, and now that you''re


    here, please promise not to leave me alone. I promise always to listen to you and obey you. Just


    please, don’t leave me." Rose sobbed while burying her head in Anne''s shoulder.


    Meanwhile, Kevin''s eyes widened in utter disbelief. He watched the scene with his mouth hanging


    agape.


    There was much animosity between the siblings. Just a few days ago, Rose provoked and fought with


    Anne. But what the hell was she doing right now?


    Smiling from ear to ear, Rose cupped her sister''s face. Her face gently rubbed against Anne''s.


    What was going on? How could this happen?


    Kevin was not the only one thrown in surprise. Even Anne stood frozen to her feet, bbergasted and


    quite scared at the same time.


    More than that, she was shocked to see Rose lose so much weight. Her cheeks had sunk, and her


    bones even felt frail against Anne''s palm.


    But what was crazier was Rose holding Anne and calling her sister affectionately, as if they had an


    unbreakable bond.


    "What trick are you ying, Rose? Let go of me!" Anne managed to say harshly after struggling to find


    the right words to utter.


    However, Rose held on to her tightly, unwilling to let go of her. With grievance and expectation on her


    face, Rose bit her lip slightly and said, "Anne, I know I have done a lot of things that made you unhappy


    before, but you can rest assured that I will never do it again.


    I was young and reckless at that time. Can you please forgive me?"


    Rose held Anne''s hand and shook it slightly, much like a spoiled child expecting to be given candy.


    With her eyes wide open, Anne felt as if she had been struck by lightning.


    ''Oh my god! What''s happening?'' she asked herself,pletely bbergasted.


    Pulling her hand free from Rose''s grip, Anne surveyed her sister from head to foot. After that, she


    turned her head to look at Kevin and then back at her before saying, "Rose, there''s no one else here.


    You don''t have to pretend."


    Rose shook her head and grabbed Anne''s hand tightly again. "Anne, I know I was wrong. I really do.


    Please forgive me. Give me one more chance. Onest chance, okay?"


    Then, she knelt on the ground without hesitation and begged Anne like thetter was some saint.


    At the same time, Kevin stepped forward and immediately pulled Rose up and away from Anne.


    Anne''s scandal still hadn''t been cleared, and if a paparazzi photographed this scene, one could


    imagine what kind of news would be released.


    Now, Kevin had to make sure that there wouldn''t be any more scandal toe her way.


    "Kevin, what are you doing? Let go of me! You might be my brother-inw, but let me tell you, I hate


    you very much. Stay away from me! I don''t feelfortable when you are this close to me!" Rose


    pushed Kevin away with an evident hint of disgust on her face as if thetter was some deadly virus.


    With fierce eyes, Kevin lowered his head to look at his hand that was shoved away.


    He knew from the beginning that Rose liked him. In fact, she would be in cloud nine whenever he


    touched or even paid her some attention.


    But now, he could see the evident hint of disgust in her eyes!


    ''Oh, my God!'' Kevin didn''t know how to describe this bizarre situation.


    At the same time, Anne was also stunned. She suddenly recalled the day Rose came to her in person


    and dered that she wanted to take Kevin back. She even had the guts to copy Anne''s face to attract


    his attention. But now…


    What the hell happened? How was this possible?


    Afflicted, Anne rubbed her forehead helplessly and waved her hand. "Rose, everyone in the Luo Family


    is looking for you. You''d better go back as soon as possible,"


    she suggested, thinking that they could get away from her.


    However, Rose firmly shook her head and held Anne''s hand tightly, as if she was afraid that thetter


    would abandon her.


    "No, I don''t care about them. I want to be with you!"


    While Anne couldn''t seem to grasp the situation, Kevin''s sharp eyes caught sight of a paparazzi


    lingering around. "Let''s go inside first. This is not a ce to talk," he immediately suggested.


    Anne nodded and opened the door of the car for Rose. Rose got into the car happily. Kevin shook his


    head and drove the car to take them home.


    Meanwhile, Selma, who was ying with the children, frowned at the sight of Rose. With obvious


    displeasure, she sneered. "Rose, you have nothing to do with Kevin now. You can''t juste here as


    you please!"


    However, Rose didn''t seem to mind the rejection. Instead, she just nced at Selma indifferently. She


    opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but when she saw Sally and Eddy, her eyes instantly


    brightened up!


    In utter excitement, she ran towards the kids but immediately stopped on her tracks––much to the


    confusion of everyone present. Then, slowly, she squatted down and asked softly, "Eddy, Sally, I''m your


    aunt. Let''s y, okay?"


    In an instant, Anne and Kevin felt their legs in a limp and almost fell to the ground.


    At the sight of Rose staring at both Sally and Eddy with her loving eyes, they thought, were they in a


    dream? What was happening right now?


    "What are you doing?! Stay away from my grandchildren!" Selma immediately grabbed hold of the kids


    while eyeing Rose vigntly.


    She was clearly protecting them from their aunt and whatever thetter intended to do.


    Rose looked at the old woman with disgust before expectantly eyeing her sister and asking, "Anne, I


    like Sally and Eddy very much. Can I y with them? I promise I won''t let them get hurt."


    Anne quickly massaged her forehead to ease the tingling sensation of confusion. She obviously did not


    have the right strength to deal with this kind of unexpected situation. "Rose, there''s no one else here.


    How long are you going to act? Why do you have to pretend? Do you really like fooling us that much?"


    she asked in an aggrieved and tired tone.


    Kevin, who was standing next to her, echoed in his heart. ''Rose is too weird and that''s frightening.''


    If it was the usual Rose they had known, they would not be freaked out. But she was actingpletely


    different!


    "Anne, I know I was wrong in the past. If you just give me a chance to change…please! I really want to


    be your sister," Rose pleaded while twisting her fingers.


    To control her frustration, Anne gritted her teeth and thought,


    ''How long is she going to pretend?''


    Shaking his head, Kevin took a step forward, and instantly––as if it was her reflex telling her––Rose


    stepped back. Her eyes were filled with vignce and disgust.


    ''What trick is she ying?'' Kevin asked himself as he narrowed his eyes at her.


    "Anne, call the Luo Family right now and ask them to take Rose back!" Selma, who was evidently


    weirded out by the woman,manded at once.


    Nodding, Anne took out her phone, only to find Rose rushing over and hugging her tightly in an attempt


    to stop her. She begged, "Anne, please don''t send me back. Please!"


    Anne frowned. Helplessly, she dragged her sister into a room. She knew very well that Rose was just


    pretending. If it were to be left alone, thetter would probably show her true colors.


    Little did she know, Rose was genuinely happy when Anne held her arms just now.


    Kevin withdrew his gaze from Rose, his brows furrowed deeply. "Kevin, what''s wrong with Rose?"


    Selma whispered to him.


    Looking at his mother, Kevin shook his head and asked the same question to himself. Perhaps only


    Kim knew what happened to her.


    Since Rose was taken away by Kim, she had drastically lost weight. Did Kim do something to her? Was


    it to turn Rose insane?


    After dragging Rose into the room, Anne shut the door and stared into her eyes. "Rose, now it''s only


    two of us. You can stop pretending now. Tell me what exactly do you want?"


    Rose walked up and sat down next to Anne and slowly leaned her head on her shoulder, saying,


    "Anne, I know I have done something to hurt you in the past. It''s reasonable that you don''t believe me


    now, but it doesn''t matter. I will prove to you that I have really changed. I am no longer who I was


    before!


    I want you to know that I love and your kids more than I love myself!"


    Hearing this, Anne was not moved. Instead, she felt utterly scared. Was this woman possessed by


    some kind of ghost?
