Chapter 484
Edward knew that Rose liked to sleep in, so he booked the flight for the afternoon.
This way, Rose could sleep until she woke up naturally. Everything was packed. There was no need to rush. She could take her time.
When Rose woke up, it was already 10:30 p.m. After lunch, the couple pushed their luggage to the airport. Rose pushed two suitcases while Edward pushed three.
They had brought two suitcases with them when they came. They bought three suitcases later. There were gifts, souvenirs, photos, and so on.
On the plane, Rose woke up. After sleeping for the entire morning, she began to chatter non-stop. The route that the two of them had planned was to go to the Roberts family’s residence. Rose was afraid that Edward would be nervous when he officially met her parents, so he told her about her parents’ personalities.
“Are you nervous?”
Edward held her hand. “I’m not nervous.”
“Are you really not nervous? I’ll analyze my parents for you.”
Since Rose wanted to tell him about them, he was happy to hear. It was still beneficial to know more about them. He glanced sideways with a serious expression and prepared to listen attentively. “Okay, go ahead. I’ll listen.”
Rose moved her butt and adjusted her sitting posture. She looked ahead. In her mind, she thought about her parents. There were also scenes of them getting along happily in the residence, including Frank. “Let’s talk about my father first. William looks cold and fierce on the outside and is a man of his word. However, William at home is completely different from outside. William at home is a little cutie. He talks a lot, is everywhere at home, and likes making his presence known, especially in front of Grace.
“Also, if you want to flatter William, you have to praise him for being handsome and young. He’s very narcissistic.
“Do
you
remember?” Rose asked Edward worriedly, afraid that he did not hear her clearly.
Edward nodded, indicating that he remembered. “I heard you. Anything else?”
“Yes, there’s also my mother, Grace. She looks cold and aloof on the outside. She doesn’t talk much and even less than my brother. However, my mother is the kind of person who’s cold on the outside but warm on the inside. For example, she’s the one who prepares the medicine that I always prepare when I go out on a trip. My pocket money is prepared by my brother. Anyway, even though they aren’t big on talking, they’re very meticulous. For example, my brother is very thoughtful toward my sister-in-law, Ava. He’s so careful that he would use a fine toothcomb for it if he could. You didn’t see this coming, right?”
Edward really didn’t expect Frank to be so meticulous, but Edward seemed to understand. It was because when you liked someone, you could consciously learn to do something and want to surprise them. It was because you had eyes for them, so you would take care of them.
This was care and love.
Judging from Rose’s words, the couple were easy to get along with. They were not as unreasonable as the rumors said, including the ones that mentioned they were unkind and stubborn.
Edward didn’t have much contact with the Roberts family, and he didn’t have much interaction with the Roberts family in the past. It was just that this year, he had a dock project with Frank and needed to borrow his transportation.
Previously, he had heard from Kyle Jenkins that the Roberts family in Athana was quite unyielding. Perhaps it was because their entrepreneurial journey was different from other families. They could distinguish between gratitude and grudges. A favor was a favor, and money was money. If something could be resolved with money, there was definitely no need to resort to favors.
Throughout the entire journey, Rose had been analyzing the situation at home with Edward. She had analyzed Frank because he was afraid that they would not get along well.
A few hours later, the two of them stood at the exit. Edward first called his parents and asked them to go straight to the Roberts family’s residence. A few days ago, Edward had already talked about the shares. Juana had also discussed the betrothal gift with Richard.
After receiving their son’s call, the couple hurriedly rushed to the Roberts family.
After getting off the plane, Rose began to feel nervous. She had been talking non-stop on the plane just now. Now that she imagined the scene of the two families sitting together and discussing their marriage, she inexplicably began to feel nervous.
Edward noticed that Rose was silent. It was obvious that she spoke much less. “Nervous?”
“A little. They won’t quarrel, will they?”
“They won’t. They’re there to give the betrothal gifts, not to quarrel.”
Rose said, “I’d better call my brother.” As she spoke, she took out her phone and called Frank. “Hello? Where are you?”
Frank answered, “Get to the point. If you have something to say, say it. If not, I’m hanging up.”
Rose stood at the exit and took a deep breath. She kept telling herself he was her biological brother and that she should let it go. “I just wanted to ask where you were.”
“Home.”
Rose wanted to ask if he would die if he said one more word. In her heart, she was scolding her brother. However, she asked in a friendly manner, “Alright, are you going out later?”
“No.” Actually, Frank knew that Rose would be back today, so he came back early in the morning after going to the office. However, he did not say it out loud.
This girl probably wouldn’t be able to stay with the Roberts family for long. He was sad to see her move out.
Edward was very familiar with the route of the Roberts family’s residence. He could even find the location of the door with his eyes closed. After an hour, Edward’s car pulled up steadily in the parking lot in the courtyard.
This time, he had entered the Roberts family’s residence openly and legitimately.
When they walked into the living room, they heard Hackett sitting on the sofa and talking non-stop. “Frank, you’re the worst now. We’re already married. Look, I already have two children. Look at Trevon, he already has three. Perhaps in the near future…”
