The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 2198

"I... um..." Rose found herself fumbling for words under Molly's intense gaze.

She hadn't heard about such a grown-up child at Rosalynn’s.

This girl had a mischievous streak for sure.

Just staring at her was enough to give Rose chills.

"Molly, this is Mommy's guest, Lady Rose!" Ivy turned and, noticing the awkward silence, chirped up with an explanation.

Molly continued to eye Rose, then finally nodded, "Hi, Lady Rose."d2

Rose managed a friendly smile, "Hello there."

Molly gave a short nod. Foregoing the elevator, she bounded up the stairs with the grace of a gazelle and was at the front door in no time.

Molly had been thriving this past year. Rosalynn made sure to get her a full health check every six months, supplementing anything she was lacking.

She didn't gain weight but sure shot up in height.

Felix had measured her recently, and she was nearly five-foot-three.

Molly had great proportions, and most of her height was in her legs.

Rose watched, dumbfounded, as Molly disappeared like a bolt of lightning.

"Sorry about that, Ms. Albinia. My daughter's been practicing her gymnastics, so she's a bit... swift," Felix explained, coming up from behind.

"Gymnastics?" Rose echoed, her surprise evident.

"Rose~" Rosalynn's voice called from the elevator, seeming all too accustomed to Molly's peculiar ways.

She trotted toward the elevator.

"Mommy, you have to talk to Uncle Felix, don't let him pick out clothes for Molly, don't let him cut her hair, and don't let him trim her nails!" Ivy suddenly blurted out, as if recalling some nightmare.

"Why on earth not?" Rosalynn asked, puzzled.
