Chapter 505
Meeting her brother’s death-like gaze, Rose shivered timidly and sat down on the couch. Edward sat down beside her.
“You don’t have to look at me like that. I’ll go back after dinner.” Her mother-in-law and the others went to a relative’s placé and would eat before returning home..
Sherri and Hackett were out visiting friends for Christmas too. Hackett would bring the two children out with them so he would recoup some losses. Especially since he would be bringing gifts over as well.
Only at Trevon’s and Frank’s, would Hackett often be at a disadvantage. Perhaps Hackett was willing to suffer the loss. Thus, having been so calculative, if Sherri and Hackett didn’t get rich, who would? They were too smart. William said, “Rose, it’s fine for you to spend the night here, right? Edward?”
He immediately understood what his father-in-law meant. “William, I have no objections. Rose would like it too.” Edward didn’t dare to have any objections. The entire family was afraid that Rose would be tired and unhappy. However, Rose was very sensible and would take him into account too. She would stand in his shoes and consider the issues. Sometimes, it felt like they had switched roles as she acted like a big sister who always said that she would protect him. William nodded in satisfaction and dragged Daniel away to play chess while Joseph ran upstairs alone..
Emma’s gaze
followed him for a while before looking away. Grace patted Emma’s hand. “Don’t worry.”,
Rose said, “My mother-in-law went visiting. She was afraid that I would be too tired from running back and forth, so she didn’t let me go. However, I still plan to go back tonight.” Otherwise, Edward’s parents would be alone at night. It would be too lonely for Christmas. There were quite a lot of people now at the Roberts family. It was very lively. It would be fine if Rose was not here.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you to see my work.” Ava held Rose and prepared to bring her upstairs to see her recent earnings. The platform was getting better and better, especially since she had help from Frank and Joseph.
“What do you do?” Rose asked curiously as she followed behind!
Frank invited Edward to drink coffee. “Let’s go. We can go somewhere else and have a cup of coffee.”
At the same time, Christina had returned home to the Yamin family’s residence.
As soon as she walked into the villa, she saw her sister lying on the couch with her limbs spread out. She kept wailing in that ridiculous pose.
When Stella saw her sister come in, she quickly sat up and started complaining, “Christina, why didn’t you ask me to come along with you when you ran away? I thought it was cold today, so I wore an extra thick down jacket.”
As she spoke, she took off her coat, leaving her only wearing her white sweater. She continued, “Let me tell you, our mother didn’t go out to a Christmas party. It was entirely a blind date. You know, Great-aunt’s house is filled with men and women. I did a count. There were eight men and eight women. Why don’t they just match them up?
“It’s like a huge wedding celebration. They even sat in rows. I was so depressed. What do you think our Great-aunt is thinking? When Mom saw that scene, she was stunned. I think Mom definitely didn’t know about it beforehand.”
Stella was afraid that her sister would not be able to imagine that sight, so she painted a very vivid picture.
Christina was not stupid. Every year, she could not escape from the urging of their family to get married. This year was definitely the same. However, she did not expect it to be so spectacular. It was unexpected even for her. Fortunately, she did not go. However, even though she escaped from the blind date set up by her relative, she did not escape unscathed today.
“Chris, did you see anyone you like?” Christina sat down beside her brother.
Chris rolled his eyes at his sister. “What do you think?” The moment he saw what was happening, he fled the scene alone.
Christina did not answer. She was in a good mood. She picked up a magazine on the table and flipped through it. She crossed her legs leisurely. Stella, who was sitting opposite her, asked, “Christina, how are you and that future brother-in-law of mine progressing? Let me tell you, if you still have no progress after Christmas, our mother can give you ten more choices. You’ll be done for.”
Angie could really do such a thing. Actually, Angie’s actions were understandable. She was anxious. After all, there were three children at home, but none of them had anything in the way of a relationship.
Angie was afraid that they would drag it out for so long that she would be dead. If that happened, Angie just might claw her way out of her coffin just to matchmake them. She had said this many times and was a little terrified.
Joseph’s face flashed through Christina’s mind in the next second. He was really handsome and seductive, but he seemed to
