Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 56

Rose lied on my bed in my room with a f*cking bath towel that was also mine!

Rose explained with a gentle smile: "Oh, the heat in your brother's room is broken, so he asked me to find a room to take a shower."

And you just happened to find my room? At two o'clock in the afternoon?

Kidding me?

I didn't wanna waste my time with her so I said, "Please go out."

Rose was taken aback and suddenly said coldly: "Emma! I am your future sister-in-law anyhow, mind your language when you talk to me.

I squinted her: "Please leave!"

My language? I didn't even want to waste one second on her.

"By the way, I remember you are September's friend." Rose smiled charmingly and said: "She hates me, so you also hate me. Judging by that, you are probably the same kind of person as she is. I don't even know how you got the guts to just come around here and say you are Joe's sister."

Actually, I could say the same thing to Rose. After all, she was born and raised by a September's father's mistress while I was the only daughter of 01' Shears and the only granddaughter of the Shears family.

I really didn't expect her to talk to me like that.

I glared at her angrily and went straight downstairs. Joel was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper. He saw me coming down and asked, "Where are you going?"

His tone was as cold as ever.

"Joel, I respect you as my brother because you treat me fairly all this time. But what right does that Rose have to come into this house and say what she wants to say right in my face? And what did she mean by me having guts coming back here? Have I ever asked to be back here? It was you who forced me to come back here on every holiday and even gave me 'my room'. But now what? Did it turn into her bathroom?"

The grievances I have received recently made me lose my temper to Joel for the first time. Rose stood at the top of the stairs in a white bathrobe and was startled, asking in an incredulous tone: "What are you doing?"

Joel looked at Rose coldly. I took my bag and left. Joel would take care of the rest, so I didn't have to worry about it.

Although Joel cannot favor September between September and Rose, I was his sister, which made me different.

Joel loved me as a sister, so he would blame Rose. If I guessed right, Joel would let Rose apologize to me personally!

She should've done her homework before coming at me.

When I went out and drove in Benjamin's car, I called September. She picked it up and said happily: "Emma, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, September."

I told her what had just happened. September cursed in a low voice.

I smiled and said, "It's okay. I just lost my temper on Joel on purpose. He will realize the seriousness of the matter."

I did feel a bit sorry for Joel for having to suffer my temper, which was caused by Benjamin.

After returning to Elysia, I stayed there for the rest of the day, and I cooked myself some nice dishes in the evening.

After having dinner alone and tidying the kitchen, Joel called. I hesitated and chose to ignore it.

Then a strange number called.

A local one.

It should be Rose.

I still didn't answer.

Finally, my grandpa called me personally. I could only pick up and ask, "Hello, grandpa."

"Em, why did you leave home in the New Year?"

Joel would not bother grandpa with what happened during the day.

I explained gently: "I had to take care of something at home."

Grandpa still asked, "Will you come back for dinner?"

Grandpa became unusually kind and amiable.

I refused.

After I hung up the phone, I felt warm in my heart. Although he watched 01' Shears die indifferently back then, he actually had been treating me rather well during the past few years.

He always hoped that I would really return to Shears family. Only if I went back can he unscrupulously give me what he had. I also knew what I would get if I returned to Shears family, the wealth, the status, and the power.

But I couldn't!

It was New Year's Eve, the fireworks outside the window were dazzling, I was sitting on the balcony with a cup of milk tea as I watched the shows on TV.
