Chapter 355
It had been 40 minutes since Ava and Frank got off the Ferris wheel.
While Ava was still calling Emma, Frank quickly sent a message to Rose at the same time. [Sleep at Deepwater Bay tonight.]
At the same time. Tom drove the car to the entrance of the villa belonging to the Roberts family. Before the car managed to stop entirely. Rose received the message from her brother. She cursed in her heart, “Fuck, am I a tool used to prevent awkwardness?”
Tom, who was in the driver’s seat, was confused. “Miss Roberts?”
Rose looked at the dumbfounded Tom and waved her hand. Tm fine. I met a lunatic. He needs me to treat him. Turn around and go to Deepwater Bay
Tom thought. “Isn’t Miss Natalie a paediatrician? When did she become a psychiatrist?”
Less than a minute after the car drove away from the villa, William called. He said dotingly, “Rose, why did the car turn around? Aren’t you going home?”
Rose said bluntly. “Im going to make an appearance.”
William did not understand what she meant. “What appeareance? Do you have a night shift tonight?”
Rose replied. Tm going to work overtime at Deepwater Bay where Frank is.”
William instantly understood the meaning behind her words. Worry and joy alternated on his face. “Frank kidnapped Ava to Deepwater Bay at night? Although it’s good that this child is as straightforward as me, her parents are still at the hotel. I don’t think this is suitable.”
Rose was already very used to her father’s narcissism. He needed to make his presence known at all times and boast about his genes. “William, don’t you think there’s a possibility that Frank tricked Ava?”
William was in disbelief. “Probably not. Maybe, it’s hard to say… Nevermind. Even if we end up having grandchildren, we’re open-minded parents. We won’t say anything. You should help me find out the truth tonight, so I can prepare.”
Rose was puzzled. “Prepare for what?”
“A betrothal gift. Of course we have to give a betrothal gift if we get grandchildren”
Rose sat in the front passenger seat and massaged her temples. “William, I think you’re overthinking things. Ava hasn’t even graduated from university yet. It will take at least a year and a half, which is a result of Ava’s hard work. A normal person. would need three years. So, I think you better wash up and go to bed early with Grace. Goodbye.”
Tom felt a whirlwind of emotions inside him as he drove, having stumbled upon a big piece of news. He thought, “Frank is getting married, when did that happen? How come none of us, his underlings, knew about it?
“What a surprise! I’m going to share it with everyone tonight”
Rose jumped out of the car and walked straight to Deepwater Bay. She said to Tom, who was still behind her, “Pick me up on time tomorrow morning.”
“Okay, Miss Roberts, I promise I won’t make you late.”
She pushed open the door and shouted, “Surprise… Where are they?”
The living room was brightly lit as if it were daytime..
It could be seen that William and Ava had returned for a while, but where did they go? Could it be that they only asked her to come over for show, but they have already started doing… No way, that’s not good.
Should she go up? What if she stumbles upon something inappropriate for children? Should she automatically look away or watch it secretly for a while?
If she didn’t look, she would feel a little regretful. However, if she looked, she was afraid of getting traumatized. What should she do? Rose felt conflicted over the decision of if she should look or not.
Rose held the bag in her hand and casually swung the chain over her shoulder. “Why don’t I watch for a while?*
Without hesitation, Rose decided to take action. She slipped off her shoes, exposing her bare feet. Adopting a half-hearted attempt at being stealthy, she tiptoed upstairs. At this moment, she couldn’t help but envy the agility of characters in novels with their light-footed techniques.
As Rose approached Frank’s room, she became increasingly cautious, barely daring to breathe. She leaned against the wall and slowly inched her head into the room. In the next second, her head was caught in a firm grip
Frank’s large palm covered the top of her head and pulled her into the room. He looked down at his sister’s bare feet with one hand on his waist. “Is this a new skill that you learnt? Put on your shoes back on.”
Frank let go of Rose’s head and let her put on the slippers she was carrying.
Ava stood by the bed, holding the pajamas that Frank had bought for her last time She stood there in a daze and looked at Rose’s bare feet. “Rose, why aren’t you wearing shoes?”
Rose couldn’t possibly say that she was here to peep. She thought for a while and found an excuse. “Ava, would me if I said that it’s too hot today and the temperature of the marble can lower my leen?”
you
believe
Ava was even more confused as the weather wasn’t very hot today “Ah. ”
Frank didn’t even bother with Rose’s feeble excuses, giving her a disdainful glance. He turned to Ava and said with a gentle tone. “Go take a shower first”
“Oh, then I’ll go take a shower first”
Frank dragged Rose, who had already put on her shoes, into her own room.
Rose quickly asked curiously, Frank, could it be that you’ve been planning this for a long time and was waiting for Natalie’s marriage to bring Ava to your house? When did you buy the light green four-piece set in your room?”
Seeing that Frank was staring at her without saying anything, Rose seemed to have thought of something “No way. You didn’t buy it based on the photo I gave you, did you?”
If that was the case, her brother was really scheming.
Frank knocked on her head. “Stop imagining things. If I see you walking barefool next time, I’ll peel off your skin”
Looking at Frank’s expression, Rose could tell that he did not intend to tell her the truth. “So tonight, I’m still just a tool for you to use to prevent awkwardness. Are you going to sleep next door or in master bedroom tonight?
Frank replied colilly, Just focus on your own sleep. Go take a shower”
Rose shrugged. She was a little curious about how she had been discovered. She had aliviously been very careful. She held her breath till she almost passed away. “How did you discover me?”
“I’m not deaf, and the door isn’t soundproof,” Frank, answered.
Rose thought to herself, “I was too careless. I used too much strength when I closed the door just now as I swung it close with my foot. Therefore, the cautious actions afterward were completely useless.
“That was so awkward, I definitely don’t have the potential to be a spy. It’s better to stick to my current job.”
After Frank took a quick shower and changed into matching pajamas with Ava, he openly headed to Ava’s room. As he passed by Rose’s room, he knocked on the door Rose opened the door and glanced at her brother, asking, “What’s up?”
“Go to the master bedroom,” Frank instructed his sister
“Sigh, as a tool, I still have to perform. Let’s go. Remember to pay me for the appearance. Do you think it’s easy for me to be tormented by the two of you lovebirds?”
Rose complained about her difficulties Frank immediately transferred a sum of money to her. Her expression immediately changed when she saw the amount of money that entered her account. “Frank, you’re especially handsome today I love you to death. Is there anything you need me to do?”
Frank replied, “Go in and accompany Baby Ava”
Rose said obsequiously, “Alright, aren’t you going in
Frank glared at his sister but did not enter. Instead, he stood by the door frame. She still entered the room under the enticement of money,
“Hello, Ava. Do you need me to sleep with you?” Rose sat on the bed, but her eyes were still fixated on the door.
Ava sat on the bed and looked over. “Rose, what are you looking at?*
“No, no, I’m just looking around. This four-piece set is not bad. It’s very comfortable,*
Ava asked. “Didn’t you buy it?”
As it was a refreshing color, Ava thought that Frank had asked Rose to help buy it.
Rose did not dare to take the credit. Besides, Frank was still standing outside the door. She shook her head and said, “You can feel touched everytime you come. Frank bought it. Are you happy?”
Ava replied, “Can I say that I’m extremely happy?
Rose saw his shadow under the door frame and felt a little sorry for Cranky Franky. Worried about the Turner family’s perspective of this situation, Rose suggested, “Ava, let’s take a photo together, a bedtime photo,”
Ava was in a good mood. She immediately took out her phone and used the camera function to take a photo of Rose sitting with her under the blanket. After taking the photo, Rose said, “The caption should be a goodnight photo of you and the beautiful sister before bed.
Once Rose saw that Ava had finished posting the photo, she stretched and yawned, “Aiya, I can’t take it anymore. Maybe it’s
because I didn’t sleep in the afternoon today. I’m a little tired. I’m going to sleep first. You should sleep early.”
Ava was confused and thought, “Didn’t you say you wanted to chat and sleep together?”
Before she could say anything else, Rose had already walked quickly to the door. As soon as she opened the door, she had a triumphant look on her face, as if she were the hero of the moment.
Frank, who had been standing outside the door, gave Rose a rare smile. He reached out and patted her head. “Hurry up and sleep. Don’t go out again.”
