Chapter 327
In the end, Frank did not allow Ava to carry the metal bucket Instead, he placed the milkshake in the trunk.
Ava stood at the back of the car and looked at the metal bucket full of milkshakes. She was curious what Rose’s expression would be when she saw this. Frank’s actions might make Rose not want to drink milkshakes anymore.
While she was in a daze, her forehead was lightly flicked. A deep voice penetrated her eardrums, “Get in.”
“Alright.” Ava responded as she eagerly walked to the front passenger seat.
As soon as they got into the car
Frank asked. Do you want to drink it now or later?”
“Let’s drink it at your house. Ava replied. Otherwise, it would be very awkward for Rose to drink alone. Moreover, she did not know how Rose would drink her the milkshake later. She could not possibly drink it from the bucket.
“Mm Frank replied faintly.
After helping Ava fasten her seatbelt, he took the initiative to hold her hand tightly.
Ava’s petite face turned red again. She awkwardly touched her slightly red cars with her free hand and looked shyly at the man driving with one hand. For some reason, she felt that Frank was very seductive.
The car drove steadily in the direction of Deepwater Bay. The both of them clasped their hands tightly. It was difficult for the two to part. They were feeling blissful by Ava’s surprise visit.
Ava’s surprise visit was something Frank did not expect. He initially planned to fly to Sapphire City after he had settled the issue, but the little girl caught him by surprise. She was fast and decisive.
Just like how she confessed to him in front of so many people.
After Rose hung up the call, she changed her clothes. The wind at night was comfortable but slightly chilly. She casually took a set of sportswear from her wardrobe and put it on. In any case, her brother had some of her clothes at his home. She did not have to worry about not having any clothes to change into tomorrow.
Rose took a sling bag and placed it over her left shoulder. It drooped over her like it would fall off the next moment. Then, she opened the door and went downstairs. She skipped down the stairs while nibbling on a cheese stick.
In the living room, Grace and William were still discussing something The two of them had different opinions and looked like they were debating. It was obvious that William was the less domineering one.
Rose threw her bag on her shoulder and pulled the chain with one hand. She stood behind her parents and tilted her head to look at the documents on the coffee table before saying. “Grace. William, I’m going to sleep at my brother’s place.”
The two of them turned around and looked at Rose. Grace was calmer and glanced at Rose for a while before leaning back on the sofa with her legs crossed and holding the documents.
William was a little more anxious than Grace. He asked. “Why are you going to your brother’s place? Isn’t your brother coming back to sleep at night? Are you staying at Lithern Club?”
Rose had a smile on her face. She deliberately placed her hands on the sofa and leaned closer to them before whispering. “Brother has to accompany my future sister-in-law.”
These words made the Roberts family and his wife lose their cool. However, Grace did not open her mouth and waited for William to speak. “Your future sister-in-law? Your brother found a girlfriend? When did this happen? Why didn’t anyone say anything?
William felt that he had missed out on the million-dollar news. His son had already found a girlfriend, but he, the patriarch, was unaware of it. This did not go well with the well-informed Roberts family.
William was very depressed. He felt that he had deviated from the information chain.
Rose was unsurprised that her parents were ignorant that Frank was wooing Ava. Her brother was a solemn man, to begin with How could be announce that he was going after a girl? If she did not know Ava, she probably would not know either. “Don’t be anxious. There will be a time for you to meet When the time is right, Frank will bring her over to meet you.” Rose saud casually with a tinge of smugness. She thought, “You guys don’t know, but I do”
William was very curious about what lus future daughter-in-law looked like. He lowered her voice and gossiped, “Baby girl, tell Daddy about your sister-in-law.”
Besides the big shot and has identity as the head of the family, William was still a father. It was common for fathers to be curious about what type of women their sons were going after
Although Grace was not as gossipy as William, her ears were perked up. She narrowed her eyes in anticipation of what Rose was about to say.
Rose thought momentarily and began to organize her words, “Yes, she has to look beautiful. After all, Frank is very picky. Anyway, my future Sister-in-law’s family background, JQ, and educational background are great. You’ll be satisfied with her,
She’s a little young, and there’s a big age gap between her and Frank.”
“You guys don’t mind the age gap, do you?” Rose continued probing.
William waved his hand as if his daughter would not believe him. He said affirmatively. “No, no. As long as your brother likes her, it’s fine even if she hasn’t graduated, right, Grace?”
After saying that, William even pointed his chin toward his wife, suggesting she should relent too.
Grace fiddled with the document and said calmly, “Our family doesn’t have so many criteria. Her character comes first
“Dad, I think you’re amazing. How do you know that my future sister-in-law hasn’t graduated?” Rose pretended to be surprised.
William was speechless. He had made the statement casually.
William regained his senses and asked, “Just how old is the future sister-in-law you’re talking about?”
“I think she’s 22 years old. She’s a graduate student now. Frank’s seven years older than her, Rose replied after running it through her mind and finally said with certainty.
William muttered, “She’s a little young, don’t you think so. Grace? As long as Frank likes her, it’s fine.”
William tried to persuade Grace. He feared his wife would mind and interfere in his son’s relationship again.
“Okay, I’ll send you to your brothers, Grace said to Rose. “Okay” meant that she did not object to the relationship.
William almost leaned forward to kiss his wife when he heard that. He was relieved.
“There’s no need to. You guys go about your business. I’ll get Tom to send me there. Bye bye. Continue, please continue,” Rose said as she threw her bag on her shoulder and waved her hand.
Rose always had bodyguards by her side. Even Rose’s driver, Tom, was good at fighting skills, so Grace was not very worried
when Rose went out.
After Rose left, William sighed, “Don’t tell me you wanted to send your daughter to Frank’s to see your future wife?”
“You’re overthinking it. I’m not as gossipy as you. It’s up to him whether he likes the lady or not,” Grace said with an attitude.
William continued to probe. “Grace, you haven’t told me why Frank asked you for a defense map the last time. What was he going to do with it? How did he convince you? Tell me.”
Grace shot William a cold stare and slapped the documents in her hand into his arms. She sipped the coffee on the table and said, “Your son is so capable. He threatened me.”
William’s eyes widened. After all these years, no matter how anxious his son was, he did not dare to threaten his mother. He must have liked his mother to the core. Frank was just like him and inherited William’s adoration for Grace. William was happy about it.
*How did Frank threaten you? When he comes back, I’ll talk to him properly. He has no regard for filial piety now. I wonder who’s in charge of the family now,” William thought as his face contorted with concern.

Grace was too embarrassed to expose William’s poor acting skills. Grace recalled the day her son asked her for a defense map. She said, “On the day before you went to Sapphire City, your son came to ask me for Athana’s secret defense asked him to give me a reason, but your son asked me to choose between giving half of the defense map in exchange for a daughter-in-law or letting Rose inherit the family business in exchange for a son-in-law. How was I to choose?”
Was this a compromise? This was not his wife’s character. Shouldn’t they talk about it a few times first? William asked, “And then what happened next? Did you give it to him? That’s why he asked you for the defense map and used it as an excuse to woo his girlfriend from the start. You didn’t hold back because of the words ‘daughter-in-law?”
“I’m afraid that holding this picture will affect the Roberts family’s procreation, Grace casually said. William knew Grace inside out after being husband and wife for many years; she was stubborn but soft-hearted.William smiled and said, “How is that possible; you’re stubborn and saw that it’s rare for your son to like someone. You did not make things difficult since he asked for it repeatedly. You also have faith in Frank’s taste. You’re just afraid that the child will be impulsive. Frank is quite sensible and didn’t ask for the entire map; he only wanted half of it.”
Grace glared at William again and yelped, “Shut up. Are we still going to discuss the matter?”
“Sure, let’s talk. Grace, you go first, William replied. He was in a good mood. His daughter was back, and now his son had found a girlfriend.
Rose came to Frank’s Deepwater Bay villa but had forgotten the password after touring Sapphire City for a few days. In addition, she had been staying at the Roberts’ villa previously. She could not remember the password to his brother’s villa and inputted her bank card pin instead.
She stood at the door and pressed the doorbell. Soon, the door opened. It was Ava in a puerile-looking sweater. When the door opened, Rose hugged her excitedly.
“Little Princess, why are you here? Why didn’t you send me any messages? Are you here to give me a surprise? Are you two
finally together?” Rose asked.
From the looks of it, the two of them seemed to be in a different state. Ava was no longer in a bad state.
Ava graciously walked to Frank’s side and held his hand. She raised it in the air and clasped his hands.
This made Rose excited Rose exclaimed, “Ahhh, oh my god, what did I see? Brother, you’re awesome. You’re my idol.”
Rose gave Frank a thumbs up from afar and even spun around in excitement.
Rose came back to her senses and realized the problem. She said, “Wait a minute, why did you get together so quickly? Is there something I don’t know?”
“What’s the accelerator of relationships? Rose thought.
Frank could not be bothered with Rose and said, “Cut the crap. Your the milkshake is over there. Take it yourself.”
