Come on Daddy!

Chapter 59 She Deserved A Better Man

Rose let go of her grandmother and said, "Grandma, I'll come back after organizing my things.”

"Alright.” Grandma replied.

Rose let Elena carried her suitcases into the room.

After going upstairs and shutting the door, she returned the clothes and utilities in her suitcases to their original position while she was humming a song. She seemed to be in a good mood.

After she had tidied up her room, she enjoyed a comfortable bath and changed into a new set of clothes, looking elegant and beautiful.

She looked at the clock and then went downstairs while clutching a paper bag.

Grandma was watching the television, and by now Joy had returned, and Sophie was holding her arm. The mother and daughter duo was having a good time shooting the breeze.

"Mum, you're back.” Rose watched the lovely interactions between the mother and daughter and an uneasiness seized her heart. She wanted them to feel uncomfortable too since she herself was feeling uncomfortable.

Joy and Sophie noticed Rose who was descending the stairs slowly and their smiles immediately vanished from their faces. Their expression turned into one with dismay and they obviously didn't welcome her presence.

Rose already knew they would react like this, but she paid no attention to it.

She was wearing a white dress with a deep V-shaped cut on her chest. The fluttery dress had brought out her quiet charm.

Standing beneath the chandelier, she was sparkling, and her tiny face was smudged slightly by the light. Her brows were perfectly coupled with her seductive figure, and this made her look incredibly beautiful.

She was exuding an elegant and outstanding aura just by standing there quietly, and this was making Sophie hateful and envious of her.

"Why are you back?” Joy had noticed the slightly increased pressure applied by Sophie's fingers which were clutching her arm.

She looked towards her daughter's pale face, and she couldn't help but feel distressed that her daughter had to feel pressured by Rose.

"This is my home too, I'm just out for some business.” Rose stepped off the last flight of stairs and walked into the living room and sat beside grandma, "Am I correct, grandma?”

"Joy, as a mother why are you spouting nonsense? Is there any way to talk to your daughter?” Grandma knitted her brows while scolding her daughter-in-law, "I have told you before that you can't choose to only care for one of them.”

Joy didn't reply, she just signaled Sophie as they were prepared to go upstairs. But she was stopped by grandma, "Joy, I am talking to you now.”

"Mum, I heard you.” Joy said in a mellow tone. "I have something to do with Sophie, we'll go upstairs now.”

"Mum, what has happened for you to be in such a hurry? Why don't you sit down here and see what I have brought you.” Rose showed a faint and harmless smile and said, "Sister, you should sit down too.”

Joy and Sophie were rooted to their spot as they didn't leave the living room right away.

Grandma added, "You should just listen and sit down, why are you still standing there.”

"Mum, what are you guys talking about?” Chandler's deep voice drifted in from somewhere nearby, and it was followed by his appearance in the living room.

He immediately noticed Rose who was sitting on the sofa, and his initially smiling face was now flashing a hint of displeasure.

The whole family did not like her at all, so it was as if they had seen a ghost whenever they lay eyes on her.

Rose on the other hand was smiling so brightly. The more they disliked her, the more she wanted to enforce her presence around them. She wanted to make sure they were suffering, and this would make her happy too.

Although this was a childish mindset, and she could gain nothing from doing all of these, but it was worth it as long as she could be happy.

"Dad, you should sit too.” Rose's voice was sultry and showed indifference towards their displeasure towards her. "I have brought you a gift when I was on a business trip in City J. It was something introduced by Mr. Lee. Let's see if you guys will like it or not.”

Rose handed a present to grandma, and she gave two presents to both Joy and Chandler.

"Elena, this is for you.” Even Elena had a gift from her.

Elena was shocked when she knew there was a present for her. She had gotten a present, but not Sophie, wouldn't this be too awkward?

"Oh, Sophie, I didn't buy anything for you because I thought you're not at home.” Rose looked innocent while emphasizing that she did not forget it on purpose.

Sophie smiled faintly and couldn't care less about that. She took this opportunity to retort, "It's okay, Sky would buy me anything that I want, he loves me very much.”

"Oh, speaking of which, I have met Sky in J City, and we were staying in the same hotel. His room was just one floor below mine, it was such a coincidence. I have met him while taking the lift, and during that time the lift was too crowded that I almost fell down. Luckily Sky had given me a helping hand,” Rose described her encounter with a lively expression, especially when she came across Sky's name.

During this time, Sohpie's expression gradually darkened. She bit her lips while clutching her bag hard.

"Is that so? He is always so kind, he even treats injured cats and dogs by himself sometimes. Besides, Sky calls you sister after me, like how I am calling you. Maybe you don't know that there are girls who will throw themselves at men that they like on their own, but my husband only treasures me in his heart, so he will never be tempted by other girls.” Sophie was hinting that there was no difference between Rose and those cats and dogs. They weren't something Sky should be too concerned about.

"Is that so?” Rose lifted her lips and replied, "Then sister, you have to keep this man, otherwise you won't be able to find such a good husband anymore.”

"Sister, you are right, Sky and I always love each other. We could only love each other with all of our heart.” Sophie was an expert in showing off her romance.

"Sky must have prepared a present for you, you won't be missing my present. I'm sure you won't blame me for this.” Rose had found herself a good excuse this time.

"Of course I won't blame you, it is the best kind of happiness to receive a present from my husband. I hope that you can also find the right one for you soon, so that I will have a chance to attend your wedding.” Sophie was not planning to back off in their verbal war.

"Of course she will.” Grandma interrupted them. She always viewed Rose as the best child, "Our Rose deserve the best guy out there.”

"Grandma, that's for always loving me. I feel like I'm the happiest girl in the world with your love.” Rose held grandma's arm and replied to her while leaning her head lightly on grandma's shoulders. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Grandma patted Rose's shoulder lightly and said, "Grandma will find you someone better that Sky and make you happy."

Sophie immediately felt dissatisfied at grandma's words as she protested for Sky's sake, "Grandma, what you said sounds like Sky is not good enough, is he not good enough? He is the one who has gotten you and grandpa's acknowledgement.”

"Sophie, it's not that I am saying bad things intentionally, Sky did get our acknowledgement, that's because we thought that he would make Rose the happiest woman alive and love her for the rest of her lives. The day that he had abandoned Rose, he would never be good enough anymore in my eyes.” Grandma was fuming now that she was talking about Sky, "And you, Sophie, you chose to love Sky out of everybody, and you were even married to him. Aren't you afraid that he will abandon you one day?”

"Grandma, Sky will not ever treat me like this.” Sophie retorted hurriedly, "Sky had broken up with sister, why couldn't Sky marry another girl? And why couldn't I marry him?”
