Chapter 420
At the dining table, the atmosphere was unnormally quiet. Grace was waiting for Rose to speak, and William was also waiting for Rose to speak.
There must be a reason for this abnormality.
Rose looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated. She lowered her head and glanced at Grace, who was stirring the spoon to eat swift grain. Then, she looked at William, who was eating oatmeal with his head lowered. The egg in her hand had been peeled beyond recognition.
The skin was stuck to the shell, and a large piece was peeled off. It was bumpy.
Rose couldn’t last more than a few minutes in such an atmosphere. It could suffocate her to death, so be it. The sooner she said, the sooner she would be relieved. She took a deep breath and exhaled repeatedly to adjust her emotions.
Grace had been paying attention to her daughter’s movements from the corner of her eye. Naturally, she saw all these small actions. She stopped stirring the spoon and crossed her hands on the table. She looked up at her daughter, who was making psychological preparations. “Say whatever you want.”
As soon as she said this, the courage Rose had just mustered suddenly disappeared like a deflated ball. Grace raised her hand. to look at her watch. She reminded Rose again, “Time is limited.”
As expected, Rose mustered her courage again. She exhaled and said with her eyes closed, “Grace, William, I’m in at relationship.”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was no sound in the entire dining room, nor was there the questioning and surprise that Rose expected. It was as if they had expected it.
Rose opened one eye and squinted at her parents. She saw the two of them lowering their heads to eat again. This time, she opened her eyes.
Instead of opening her eyes, her eyes widened in confusion and curiosity. “Did you already know?”
Could it be that her brother had already told them, but her brother had not told her?
William wanted to say he knew, but Grace’s voice sounded before his. There was no surprise in her voice. “I didn’t know, but I do now.”
“Then why isn’t she as surprised as I expected? Could it be that her endurance is too strong? I’m in a relationship, okay?” Rose thought to herself.
Grace finished her breakfast and gently put it down. She wiped her lips and explained why she was not puzzled or surprised. “Rose, I said I would not interfere with your relationship again. I mean what I say. As long as you’re happy and feel that it’s suitable, it’s fine. Only you know if it is good or not. Just like your brother. In the eyes of outsiders, Ava and Frank are very different in age. But only your brother and Ava know they love each other deeply and are very suitable for each other. Then you’re the same. I can’t feel whether you’re happy in this relationship.”
This was the first time Grace had talked to her about relationships after that incident. She even used her brother as an example. Rose was very touched. She no longer cared about Grace’s promise of not interfering. Now, she also wanted her mother to participate so that her mother would not always remember the past.
William also thought that her daughter’s sudden confession was because she was afraid of what had happened before, so he replied in a very understanding tone, “Yes, your mother is right. Me and your mom won’t interfere in your relationships. If you think the other party is good, be with him. If you don’t think that he’s good or if he bullies you, we’re your strongest support. Me and your mom build this empire for you and your brother, right?”
Her parents’ carefulness in her relationship made Rose feel very guilty. Because she was insensible, her parents never touched her bottom line and put her first. The tears in her eyes flickered and blurred the egg in her hand.
Seeing that her daughter was about to cry, Grace felt upset. “Hurry up and go to work after you’re done eating. We only have one request. Make sure everything about you and your brother is fine.”
This was worth it. The couple worked so hard because of their children. Every time they were tired and wanted to lie down, they would think they couldn’t fall because their children didn’t have a backing. For so many years, the children had been the motivation in their hearts.
Rose raised her hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand. She smiled and said to her parents, who had been looking at her, “But I want you to participate. I want to tell you that I’m in a relationship, and I also want to tell you who the other party is. I like the principle of honesty in our family. Mom, isn’t honesty the principle of your relationship with Dad? I quite like this principle. I plan to report my happiness and unhappiness to you in the future. Can I?” Hearing this, the couple was stunned. They never expected their daughter to say this. They had always been afraid of crossing the bottom line of Rose. Even if they sent bodyguards, they didn’t allow them to report the situation of Rose. But today, this girl said she wanted to be honest and share everything with them.
They were touched.
15:12
They must be touched. This meant that Rose had let it go. She wanted to share it with her parents without any burden. The first person to lose control was William. A teardrop was stuck in the fine lines at the corner of his eye. “Okay, I’m willing to listen. As long as you want to tell me, Rose, I’d like to hear. Grace, right?”
Tears welled up in Grace’s eyes. She closed her eyes and pursed her lips as if thinking about something. “Rose, you don’t have to force yourself to do anything in this family. You and your brother can fall in love freely. If you need your father and me, just let us know. We can take care of you. I…”
Rose interrupted Grace for the first time. “Mom, but I’m very envious of your relationship with Dad. I want to share it with you. If I encounter a bottleneck in my relationship, won’t you be my free analyst?”
How could Grace not get it when Rose said that? A crack finally appeared on her cold face. “Then tell me what kind of boy he is. There’s still 15 minutes.”
Grace didn’t say that Frank had already told them everything about Edward. Since Rose wanted to say, they would give her a chance.
Rose took a look at the time on her wristwatch. It was a good thing that she woke up so early. She began to give a long speech. William took the unsightly egg from her hand and handed her a smooth and translucent one. And he ate the deformed egg.
He peeled half of it and handed it to Grace, and Grace took it. She split it with William. It was an egg peeled by their daughter. It was very yummy.
The couple silently ate the egg Rose peeled.
Looking at this scene, Rose smiled naturally. She held her cheek and said, “He’s the young gentleman of the Landor family in Athana. Yes, the Landor family. And his name is Edward. Not only is he handsome, but he’s also refined. Of course, he’s
well. not as handsome as William. He’s quite good to me now and takes good care of me. He can read people’s thoughts very Whatever I’m too embarrassed to say or don’t want to say, he can help me decide in the next second or change the topic. He’s very considerate.”
Frank had already investigated Edward’s personality thoroughly. He had also told William and Grace about his personality, relationship history, and methods of doing things. At this moment, they listened carefully as if it was their first time to hear that. They were very focused, not because the other party was Edward, but because it was the first time their daughter had shared things with them.
This was the rarest.
Grace said, “It’s only good if you think it’s good. But according to what you said, he’s not bad. You can observe the other aspects of his.”
William added, “Yes, Grace’s right. You’ll only find out if you’re suitable when you interact more. Rose, don’t be anxious because of your age. Even if you don’t get married in this lifetime, our family can still support you.”
Rose was afraid she couldn’t hold back her tears, so she immediately smiled and made an OK gesture.
After explaining to her parents, Rose felt light all over her body, even her feet. Every cell of hers was jumping around. This feeling was so good. No wonder William and Grace had always upheld the principle of honesty to maintain their love. It was not bad. She had to use this principle in the future.
Edward’s car was parked at the entrance of the Roberts family’s villa.
In the car, Rose happily got into the car, quickly fastened her seatbelt, and said to Edward, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, “You don’t have to open the passenger door for me in the future. I can open it myself. You can help me when I can’t in the future.”
Rose was too straightforward. She was too anxious when she saw boyfriends open the door for their girlfriends. They could have opened it themselves. What was the point of helping? Wasn’t it better to save some time and rush to work?
Edward smiled. “Sure. If you want anything in the future, or if you need my help, just tell me.”
