Chapter 27 Will Definitely Have You Married
Chapter 27 Will Definitely Have You Married
The birthday banquet ended at nine o'clock. Rose was stopped by Grandma Linder, and they went back to the Linder family’s villa together.
The car drove slowly into the villa. After five-years, Rose returned to the Linder’s house again, but everything felt so strange and unfamiliar to her as if she never lived and grew up there.
Back at the house, no one except grandma really welcomed her. They were even disgusted, but she didn't care at all.
Rose helped her grandma sit on the sofa in the living room. Chandler and Joy sat together, and Sophie and Sky sat beside them – a family of four, warm and complete.
And she was the extra one.
“Grandma, let me help you go back to your room and rest.” Rose saw that it was late.
“I have something to say.” Grandma Linder blocked the hand that Rose stretched out to help her and pulled Rose to sit next to her.
“Mom, it's late. We’ve had a tired day. Why don’t we talk about it tomorrow?” Chandler was also a little tired, but it was more that he didn’t want to talk about Rose returning to the Linder family.
“Yes, mom, the doctor has said that you should rest more because it’s good for your health.” Joy also fulfilled her responsibility as the daughter-in-law. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“What? I'm not dead yet and you all don't want to listen to me anymore?” Grandma Linder was well aware of what they thought that she roared out of anger.
“Mom, we didn't mean that, don't be angry,” said the couple.
“Grandma, don't be angry. Seeing you this way makes me sad.” Rose frowned and said worriedly.
Grandma Linder looked at the sensible Rose, patted the back of her hand lightly, and comforted her. “I'm fine.”
Then she looked at the other four in the room. “I know my condition. I could just survive for more than a few years. Today is my 80th birthday, my only wish is to know what happened that year. Why did Sky separate from Rose? I want to know if Rose was wronged!”
Sky and Rose were childhood sweethearts and loved each other.
There was nothing to complain about Sky’s character and family. She and her husband approved of him as their grandson-in-law.
To her surprise, after her husband passed away and she went abroad to recuperate, she returned to attend the wedding of Sky and Sophie... and was told that Rose went abroad.
Sky remained silent, lowered his head slightly, and wrinkled his brows.
“Sky, if you betrayed Rose and went to Sophie, then I, an old lady, won’t let you off easily.” Grandma Linder saw that he didn't say anything and couldn't restrain her anger.
The thought that Rose had been away from home for five years and didn't know how much she had suffered made her blame herself.
“Grandma, this is not Sky’s fault. I and Sky are in love. We just want to be together.” Sophie said the “truth”. “Grandma, even if you care about sister, you should not be so biased. I am also your granddaughter. In your eyes, my happiness is not as important as sister’s?”
“Sophie, don't talk to grandma like that.” Chandler scolded his daughter.
“Mom, Sophie is immature, don't blame her.” Joy glared at her daughter.
“Sky...” Grandma Linder called Sky’s name.
“Grandma, I...” Sky couldn't speak. His eyes fell on Rose.
When he knew that Rose betrayed him, he was really hurt and pained, and hated that she gave up easily. But everything happened a long time ago and even though he still hated her, he didn’t want to talk about what happened back then. He wouldn’t be a man if he did.
“Grandma, I don't like Sky.” Rose stretched out her hand to caress her grandma's chest and took the responsibility.
If grandma continued to ask questions like this, Rose was afraid knowing the truth would only make her relapse.
“Rose, you don't have to lie to grandma. Grandma saw your feelings for Sky. You like Sky.” Grandma Linder refused to believe it, still trusting her intuition.
“Grandma and grandpa liked Sky very much back then. If you guys like him, then I like him, otherwise I won't be engaged to him. Later I didn't like him. Now, since Sophie likes Sky, then we should let them be together.” Rose smiled with relief, suppressing the bitterness in her smile.
Grandma Linder frowned. She did not speak, but still had doubts.
“Grandma, I am having a great time now. This is more important than anything. Let the past pass. The future is more important. I will meet someone better for sure.” Those words were meant to both comfort and explain.
Grandma Linder looked at her granddaughter for a long time, distressed tears floated in her eyes, and spoke quietly. “It's grandma’s fault. Don't worry, Rose, grandma will definitely find you someone better
than Sky!”
“There’s no need, grandma.” Rose didn't want her grandma to do anything pointless. She didn't have any intention to getting into a relationship at the moment. “Marriage depends on fate.”
“Fate? Is that CEO Lee?” Grandma Linder was also impressed with Bright today. “Do you need my help?”
Rose was embarrassed. How did the conversation turn to Bright?
“Grandma, he and I only have a professional relationship.” Rose raised her hands and swore. “Don't be silly.”
The light in Grandma Linder’s eyes faded and dimmed. “Rose, it’s not that grandma is criticizing you. You see Sophie is married even though she’s younger than you and the same goes for your best friend Nora, who was married to Alan at the age of twenty and has been married for five years. Why don't you learn from Nora so grandma doesn’t have to worry as much? Grandma just want to find someone whom you can entrust the rest of your life to before I pass away so that grandma can go to your grandpa and tell him that there’s someone helping us take care of you and love you in our place.”
“Grandma, don't say that, you will live until you are a hundred.” Rose changed the subject. “As long as you rest and convalesce, I will stay with you every day until you get annoyed and no longer want to see me.”
She would not leave this time she came back, otherwise there would be no such opportunity for her to gain a foothold in the Linder family.
From then on, she would slowly revenge on the people who betrayed her and hurt her.
Grandma Linder was naturally happy when she heard that Rose was going to stay. “Then it's settled. You will stay with my grandma in the future. Grandma will definitely have you married.”
Rose, “...”
The topic somehow still went back to her marriage.
“Okay, okay, okay, as long as you take good care of yourself, everything is up to you.”
Rose coaxed her grandma, making her very happy, and treated the others like air.
Afterward, she helped her grandma back to the room to rest, and after staying with her until she went to sleep, Rose left gently.
The living room was empty, only Elena, who was new to the house, came forward and spoke to Rose. “Miss Rose, your room is the guest room on the third floor. I will take you there.”
“There’s no need. I'm more familiar than you are.” Rose smiled slightly. She wasn’t going to let them as a guest so easily.
Rose looked up at the second floor and lightly lifted her skirt to head upstairs.
She did not go to the third floor, but went to the second floor to the bedroom just around the corner. Elena paled when she saw, and hurried after. “Miss Rose, that is not your room.”
Rose didn't pay attention to Elena’s effort to stop her at all. She pushed open the bedroom door.
In the bedroom, Sky sat on the sofa while Sophie straddled his lap. The suspender nightdress on Sophie was half down, revealing her entire snow-white back.
How inappropriate for children...
