Chapter 438
Ava had her laptop in front of her, legs crossed, and head bowed as she earnestly replied to messages.
A stille of well wishing hung on her lips Inside the Fairy Fortress chat group, Sherri did the same thing, saving and sharing Rose’s posts to the group chat.
She wanted to make sure everyone shared in the excitement, as she was concerned that someone might miss out on this juicy gossip.
Good things were meant to be shared. It was a principle Sherri always held.
Ava smiled as she scrolled through the photos sent by Sherri One by one, she slid through them and lightly nudged Frank’s arm with her elbow. Her gaze was still fixed on the phone screen. “Frank, look. Rose is traveling.”
At her words, Frank squinted his eyes. His gaze shifted to Ava’s phone, and he was left speechless because the sequence of photos Sherri had sent was exactly the same as the ones Hackett had sent earlier.
These two were really a perfect match.
They were on the same wavelength.
With a faint response, he said, “Hmm.”
After looking at the photos, Ava scrolled down and could sense Sherri’s excitement from the captions Ava wrote, [Rose, are you getting closer to being married?]
Sherri replied, (Oh, she’s my future sister–in–law.]
Natalie chimed in, (Be a bit more cautious. You’re still a pregnant woman.]
Sherri replied, [Can you understand the feeling of having a single older male in the family without a girlfriend, and then hiny finally getting married off? I bless you with tears.]
Rose wrote, [Stop it, tone down the pretense. I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle it, sis.]
Sherri wrote, [Love you, my beloved sister–in–law.]
Natalie added, [Cheesy.]
Ava found the messages quite amusing and looked up at Frank. She noticed that his face had darkened for a moment. His slender fingers kept tapping his phone, seemingly contemplating something. She asked, “Should I reply?”
Seeing Frank’s irritated expression, Ava lost her motivation to reply to the messages. She pushed her laptop slightly away. then turned and straddled Frank’s lap. She tossed her phone onto the ground and wrapped one arm around his neck. With the other hand, she gently caressed his brow. “Don’t furrow your brows like that. Look, Rose is really happy in the photos.”
After speaking, she gave a peck on Frank’s lips. Frank remained still, his deep, dark eyes narrowing slightly. The gloom that had been lurking in his heart was dissipated by Ava’s kiss. He replied, “Yeah.
Frank held her with one arm. Ava had an alluring waist that fit perfectly in his grip, completely under his control.
Unhurriedly, Ava leaned on his shoulder like a child, her weight pressing onto him. She played with her hands on his back. completely unaware of their awkward position.
Suppressing his emotions, Frank picked up his phone and sent a message to Rose. [Are you aiming to be a professional internet sensation, or are you preparing to be a target?]
Rose was playing with her phone at the moment. She quickly replied, [Speak human language.]
After reading the message, Frank’s brow furrowed, and his head throbbed. He wrote, [You could have shared your posts more widely.]
Rose understood and replied, [I’m not that stupid. Others can’t see my posts. I’ve set the visibility permissions so that only a few of you can see them. This time, I even added Grace and others. Am I smart or what?]
Rose had no intention of revealing her private matters outside of their circle. She believed that her romantic relationship was a normal and serious one, not some sort of reality show romance that required attention or popularity. She didn’t want to make it known to others.
She only wanted the people who mattered to her and those who could genuinely wish her well to know about it.
That was how Rose thought about it.
It turned out that her brother Frank shared the same sentiment. They were rarely on the same page.
After reading Rose’s message, Frank breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his sister was quite clever. It seemed she hadn’t lost her mind while dating.
However, he decided not to praise her in text form, lest he give her a big head [Why not change your name to ‘Queen of Spamming“?]

Rose responded, That’s going too far. I don’t smoke or drink, and you still want to take away my one hobby of spamming posts.J
Finally, Frank compromised after recalling Rose’s radiant smile, Stay safe.]
Rose replied, (Got it. Be happy with Ava, okay?]
It seemed Rose still had a conscience, and Edward could put up with it.
Edward, who was usually quite methodical, had actually thrown his work aside to goof around with Rose. This was really a rare exception.
Frank pur away his phone.
Ava continued playing around behind him, sometimes fixing her hair, sometimes fidgeting with her earlobes. Frank wasn’t typically someone whose mind was clouded by desire, but he couldn’t resist her teasing in this posture. Combined with her actions, a sense of restlessness surged within him. “Baby Ava, come down and play the game.”
Ava didn’t step back or come down. She encircled his neck with her arms and locked eyes with him, their gazes aligned, her delicate face adorned with a faint smile. “Are you feeling better now?”
“Yeah
Frank responded lightly, unsure of what else to say at the moment.
Ava dismounted from him, taking a seat beside him, ready for a competition. “Alright, let’s start.”
Ava didn’t seem to notice Frank’s abnormality. Frank, on the other hand, was even more helpless. It was like the person who had just teased him wasn’t her. “Let’s begin.”
Night had fallen.
