Chapter 394
After chatting with Ava, Frank went to Rose’s room.
He knocked on the door, but there was no response. He knocked again, but there was still no response. Frank guessed that Rose might be asleep or listening to music with carphones.
In the end, he opened the door and went in. If Rose decided to do something crazy, he would have to deal with the
aftermath.
After entering, Frank was speechless.
He leaned against the door frame with interest and crossed his arms. His gaze was fixed on his sister, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed with her hands on her lap and her eyes closed.
Honestly, Frank could not imagine what was wrong with Rose agam. She was playing a holy song on a loop in the room. The music was very soft. No wonder William said that he did not hear anything.
After standing at the door for a few minutes. Rose was still meditating quietly. She did not notice that someone was standing at the door. At the same time, Frank looked at his sister as if she was an idiot. After thinking for a while, he turned on his phone and took a photo of Rose meditating, and sent it to Ava.
Ava replied. (What is Rose doing?]
Frank was not in a hurry to enter the room. Instead, he stood at the door leisurely and texted Ava (Becoming an immortal]
Ava sent over a row of laughing emojis and wrote, I know! She seems to be meditating. With the music for meditation, the purpose is to relax and put the troubles behind her head. There must be something troubling her]
After reading Ava’s message. Frank frowned. Didn’t Rose just come back from a trip?
Frank replied. [She’s probably crazy:]
Just as he replied, Rose suddenly spoke without changing her posture. “You are disturbing me. Please be respectful”
Frank was speechless. Still, he strode to her bed and sat down. Then, he picked up Rose’s phone and glanced at the music. “Have you suddenly become religious after going on a trip?”
Rose ignored him without batting an eyelid. She had her eyes closed as she focused on meditating.
Seeing that Rose did not respond, Frank was not in a hurry. He picked up his phone and put on the meditation music Ava recommended. Instantly, the music was switched to the sound of water flow. Finally, Rose opened her eyes and glared at Frank, who had disturbed her.
“You’re so annoying. I was emptying my mind. Everything in this world is vanity.”
“You’re just putting up a show. Listen to the music you play. Does it match your movements?”
Rose widened her eyes in confusion. “Wasn’t I playing a holy song?”
“You’re meditating, not trying to become immortal” Frank was full of confidence as Ava had explained it to him just now.
“How do you know? Frank, have you done this before?” Rose did not expect Frank to know about this. She had also found it online. It was because she was afraid that she would dream about embarrassing things again, so she wanted to clear her mind before sleeping.
She couldn’t possibly kiss Edward every night in her dream. At this rate, she might just sleep with Edward in her dream. Wouldn’t that make her a hooligan? That would be absurd,
Plus, she said she wouldn’t be a substitute.
Frank did not answer Rose’s nonsense and asked, “What do you want to empty from your mind?”
This was a sensitive topic, and Rose would definitely never answer him. “Well, it’s because I’m getting older, so I have more trouble. For example, why do I have to go to work at 8? Why do I have to eat every day? Or why am I so bad at maps, or…”
Frank felt that she was noisy and did not want to listen to her nonsense. Therefore, he quickly cut off the conversation. “Stop! You can continue now.
At this point, Rose couldn’t continue lying. Fortunately, Frank stopped asking. Otherwise, the situation would be even more confusing. Seeing that Frank was about to leave, Rose asked, ‘Where are you going? Let’s talk a little more!
Frank had already stood up and looked down at Rose with his hands in his pockets. “Aren’t you afraid of delaying your meditation?”
“I told you that I was clearing my mind. When have I said I want to become immortal? You’re really annoying.”
Then. Rose changed the topic. “During dinner, Grace asked me if you had any plans to get engaged. What are your thoughts about this? Don’t tell me you don’t want to marry Ava”
Do I look like a hooligan or a scumbag”” Frank narrowed his eyes and stared at Rose with a dangerous gaze.
Frightened by the warning gaze, Rose quickly said. Tm just confirming the matter. What if Grace asks again? It’s good to know what you truly think too. So when do you plan to get engaged to Ava?”
“Don’t meddle in the adult’s affairs. Hurry up, take a shower, and sleep, Frank instructed
Tom had been trained into a car racer by Rose, Now, he was praising his driving skills in front of the pier, making the Jackeys envious.
Frank took a shower and went downstairs to get some water. William was still worried about his daughter, so when he saw Frank coming down, he quickly walked over and asked with concem, “Is Rose alright?”
Frank poured a glass of water. “Do you want some?”
William glanced at the water and rejected it. “No. I’ll have to wake up in the middle of the night to pee if I drink too much before bed. The older one gets, the smaller the storage of their bladder becomes.
Frank had no intention of having a deep conversation with his father about bladder problems. So he took a sip of water and told him about Rose’s situation. “She might be planning to become an immortal.”
William did not understand what Frank meant. He thought about the downside and said in a broken voice, “What, Rose…
Was she thinking of committing suicide? Grace was also stunned as she sat on the sofa. Immediately, her face was pale. Looking at the couple, Frank knew that they had misunderstood. So he quickly explained, “It’s meditation. She said she’s just emptying the troubles in her mind’
As soon as he finished speaking, William and Grace were obviously relieved. Rose’s suicide was an indelible trauma in their hearts.
Frank comforted them. “Don’t keep thing about the bad side of things. Rose isn’t as weak as you guys think. She’s not the Rose in the past. She’s 26 now.”
Right now, Rose had become sensible, but Frank did not say this.
William nodded, thinking that they would be happy as long as their son and daughter were safe and sound. If they could. get married, it would be the icing on the cake. Even if they couldn’t find one, it was fine. Their family would also be very happy and their days would always get better.
They had already gone through so much in the past. What else could push them down? However, their bottom line wast their children.
Phoenix Manor
After eating, Natalie felt a little hungry again. Recently, she had a good appetite. Indeed, it was completely different to be pregnant with two babies than one baby.
At such a time, Jasper was already asleep. Trevon said that he had an international conference and might not be home until 9:30 pin.
Trevon loved to report everything he did so he would always send her messages in detail. This gave her a sense of security. Natalie had always thought that love was not something that could be controlled. If a person was not in love with you, it would be useless even if you kept looking at his phone.
Loving someone should come from the bottom of one’s heart. If a person cared for you, they would always tell you where they were, even if you didn’t ask.
Take Trevon as an example, he would send her a message after sending her off to work from Monday to Friday to remind her to eat more. When he came to pick her up in the afternoon, he would also send a message in advance. “Tm here. Slow down. There’s no hurry”
On weekends. Trevon would leave her a text. “Honey, I’m going to work. Remember to eat breakfast when you wake up. Or when he worked overtime, he would say, “Honey, I’m going to work overtime for a while. Sleep first if you’re tired. Send me a message if you want to eat something.
Natalie could feel Trevon’s concem for her and it would be a lie to say that she was not happy. Instead, she was very happy. She did not expect Trevon to dote on her to this extreme.
Later, she draped a shawl over her shoulders and went downstairs in the silk pajamas that Emma had bought. Holding the stairs with one hand, she slowly got down to find that Mary was still awake. She was watching television dramas about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the living room. From the looks of it, she was engrossed.
When Mary heard the sound from the stairs, she quickly stood up and clapped her hands. “Mrs. Wilson, why are you here? Are you hungry?”
Natalie smiled and was a little embarrassed. “Yes, a little. Is there anything to eat?”
Mary strode to the kitchen and asked Natalie, “What do you want to car? I’ll make it for you.”
It was already 9 at night, so it was quite troublesome to cook. Actually, she was craving Spaghetti Bolognese, something a little salty, but she felt that it was troublesome. “Is there any ready-made food!*
“Swift grain and some soup. Mrs. Wilson, if you don’t like it, I’ll make something else for you. Don’t think it’s troublesome and decide not to cat. You might not be the one who wants to ear but the two babies in your tummy are hungry?
