Chapter 373
Today’s pier was very quiet. The music from the fitness exercises did not echo on the pier, and no familiar figures were shouting in the space
No one was around leading the people.
As Edward drove, he subconsciously looked at the lively venue in the past. However, the atmosphere today was different. Everyone was running circles around the docks, not doing fitness exercises
His eyes squinted suspiciously.
There were plenty of goods at the docks. Frank allowed his men to smoke in the office but not outside.
After getting out of the car, Edward wanted to take out a cigarette, but he thought about it and kept it.
In the distance. Tom had already sent Miss Rose back. At this moment. Tom was munching on a piece of watermelon with his lackey. His lackey glanced at Edward in the distance and asked the person beside him, “Is it the trend now for the CEO to personally receive the goods?”
“I don’t think so. He might be here to look for Frank. He does nor look like he is here to pick up the goods”
It wasn’t like Edward was a small businessman. Why would he come to take has goods himself? If his assistant couldn’t come and pick them up, his subordinate could.
Tom felt Mr. Landor purely wanted to come by himself. Perhaps he was here to look for Miss Rose or to create a chance encounter. It was just that Miss Rose had returned home, anil lie had no chance to encounter her.
Tom wondered. “Aren’t they dating? Why did he have to encounter her?” The way the wealthy date made Tom puzzle.
They were having so much fun. They were romantic enough to go on a date in the countryside and even to the church. Now, they came to the pier to meet by chance. Perhaps this was the romance between Miss Rose and Mr. Landor
It was difficult for ordinary people to understand. Tom always said that he wanted to share secrets with his friends, but he was quite tight-lipped. Besides the few people who followed and protected Rose, no one else knew Edward and Rose were a *couple.”
Tom was quite proud of this. After all, it was glorious to know the inside story. He didn’t care that the more he knew, the faster he would be in trouble.
Edward was a meticulous person, to begin with. He could already guess the reason for the sudden change in the pier’s style. After the goods were unloaded, he left casually. His personality was neither anxious nor impatient.
No one could tell what he was thinking.
Meanwhile, the siblings were at the Roberts family’s villa
Frank had already showered and was sitting in the living room in his casual clothes, accompanying Rose as she watched an entertaining variety show.
The lazy Rose did not want to open packages anymore. It was very boring to open packages alone. At this moment, she was holding a potato chip in her hand and eating it while watching her show. From time to time, she would laugh. Frank was expressionless. The siblings formed a strong contrast.
“Hahahahaha. This is funny. Just thinking about his twisted face makes me feel the same as he did. Hahahaha. That must be painful.*
Rose was overjoyed and laughed wantonly.
The empty living room was filled with her laughter. Her laughter was very loud. Even the bodyguards outside the door were stunned and held in their laughter.
Frank shot her a glance as if he was looking at a fool and continued to look at his phone. Ava should have woken up already. Why was there no message from her? Did she not know that he had been to her room, or was she having a fever again?
His mind was filled with questions and speculations.
Frank looked at his phone from time to time. As he waited, he would glance at the show. However, his eyes were filled with disdain, but he did not turn it off.
Rose was happy, but her brother frowned and pursed his lips. She felt that he was restless and could not sit still. She probed, “If you want to call Ava, just call her. You look like you are in a dilemma. You are not like before anymore. Don’t you like to be straightforward?
“How can you be timid after starting to date Ava? Do you want me to help you?”
Rose tilted her head and looked at her brother as if she could help.
“Look at you. You might get wrinkles on your face if you keep opening your mouth like a hippopotamus,” Frank mocked her for laughing loudly.
Frank threw an orange at his sister. It was extremely fast and hit her forehead. She was so angry that she stopped watching the television and rushed toward her brother barefoot.
She used both hands and feet to attack Frank’s body. Frank put his phone aside and smiled faintly. He grabbed her hands with one hand and pressed the palm of the other against her head. “Try moving your feet. I’ll throw you into the rubbish
bin
“How are you going to make it up for hitting me? Apologize
Rose was very imposing She was angry and kicked him, but Frank dodged to the side.
Soon, the two of them fought. Rose broke free from his grip. It was also because Frank did not use much strength. Her hands messed up her brother’s hair. Frank pinched Rose’s cheek hard. The situation lost control for a moment, like two kindergarten children fighting
The door was opened with a click.
William and Grace, who had just returned from outside, saw their daughter pulling their son’s hair as soon as they entered the house Their son was punching his sister’s face.
It was a loving scene. Anyway, William thought so. Only close siblings would fight like this
The scene was a little unbearable to look at
But it was still acceptable. Their house was livelier like this.
Grace was speechless.
The biased William still helped his daughter. He glared at his son first. ‘Frank, be gentler to your sister. Let go of her quickly.
Upon hearing this, Frank even pulled Rose’s face harder before letting go. Then, Rose also rumbled his hair before letting go. She glared at him in disdain. She was furious and quickly messed up Frank’s hair agam before walking to the sofa opposite and sitting down.
Rubbing her face, which was hurting from her brother’s pinch, she said, “Grace, William did you have fun on your business. trip?
Frank was about to say something when a special notification alert on his phone beeped. It was a message from Ava. [Frank, what are you doing?]
He frowned when he saw the message, but the frown soon dissipated. [Has your fever subsided?]
Ava replied. Your medicine is very effective. I’ve already recovered.]
After reading all the words, the corners of Frank’s mouth curled up. [Sleep early tonight.]
Grace was wearing a white suit. Her collarbone-length hair was casually tied behind. Her sleeves were rolled up, revealing a light blue watch.
Beneath her coat were a pink dress and eight-centimeter high heels. She had an intimidating temperament as she sat down
beside Rose
She spoke casually, “There’s a gift you like in the suitcase.”
Hearing this, Rose was instantly happy. She stopped rubbing her cheeks and wanted to open the suitcase. However, there were two suitcases in the living room. Just as she was at a loss, Grace’s faint voice sounded. “The black one.”
The moment the suitcase was opened, Rose was shocked. It was filled with watches, cosmetics, and bags. They were all things that girls liked.
Grace was indeed more fashionable and understood what young girls liked nowadays.
Every item was Rose’s favorite. It was indeed what she liked.
William walked in and saw the 29 unopened parcels piled in the corner of the door. One of them had already been opened and placed aside. She had only removed the transparent plastic and did not take anything out. He looked at his son and daughter and asked. “Rose, did you buy these?”
“Ahem. I bought that, William. I also bought you a pair of shoes and a pair for my brother.”
Actually, both pairs belonged to her brother. She looked at William’s feet on the spot. They seemed to be about the same size as her brother’s. He should be able to wear them.
At that time, she was so excited about spending money that she forgot about William. She felt terrible and unfilial.
William was thrilled that his precious daughter had bought him shoes. “Daddy will help you unbox them, then.”
Frank couldn’t be bothered to expose her. He lay lazily on the sofa and replied to Ava’s message.
Then, William accompanied his daughter to open the packages. He took a short stool and a pair of scissors and began to
unbox thein.
Grace pulled the white suitcase beside him and placed it on the coffee table. She reached out and opened it. In an in kinds of diamonds shone under the light. They were dazzling and blinding
Frank looked at the diamonds that had taken half of the space in the suitcase. Each of them was wrapped with transparent packaging. Through the transparent packaging, they could still shine as usual. Those were diamonds. They could glow anywhere. Even in a dark place, they could still shine.
Frank stared at the luggage for a few minutes before looking up at Grace. “Grace, are you preparing to develop your business in the jewelry industry”
Grace stretched out her slender fingers and took a pink diamond. This color of diamond matched the nude pink manicure in Grace’s hand. She did not answer her son’s question. This pink diamond is much better than the one you collected in Athana. You can use this if you want to give Ava a marriage gift. I’ve already contacted the source for you.”
“Marriage gift!” Frank looked at Grace. He smiled as he lacked the corner of his lips
This morning, when he wanted to get engaged, he was tactfully rejected by Ava’s father. He could not send them a marriage gift after that.
Grace noticed the problem “Your father said you had abducted the young lady into Deepwater Bay a few days ago. The Roberts family might have started low but we’re not a family without dignity and murale We should take responsibility. “Since you like her and have had your hands on her, you should assure her parents and tell them your feelings for her. Since your little girlfriend likes jewelry. I have a box of gems with good resources. The goods are all not bad. She can open a jewelry company and customize a brand”
Rose was stunned. What did the mean? Was Grace going to open a jewelry company to pamper her daughter-in-law because Ava liked diamonds: No way?
“Grace, didn’t you go on a business trip to look for diamonde
Rose ran behind Grace. She looked at the half box of diamonds and gulped. She was stunned.
Their family seemed to be quite rich.
William sat in the corner of the door and opened the packages seriously. The sound of the scissors sliding through the transparent tape was especially ear piercing in the quiet environment. He slowly said. “Grace decided this Grace might be cold, but she is very meticulous. She has already made plans. Frank, quickly ask your little girlfriend it she likes it”
Grace did not like such a straightforward compliment. It was even in front of his son and daughter She felt very awkward and said to William without looking at him. Just open the parcels quietly.”
Rose, who had recovered from the shock, continued to run back to unbox her items. She needed time to digest what she had seen. Staring at half a box of diamonds could easily blind her.
