Following behind him, a couple of his underlings were clutching onto a bunch of pricey gifts, which they put down before heading out to wait by the door. Left alone now, Carl stood by Roo, acting all
respectful and stuff.
"Hello, long ti no see."
Roo had a cold personality and didn’t talk much. Even his greeting was steady and rigorous.
"Roo, what brings you here today?" Louisa was the first to react, looking at the gifts he brought, she put on a warm smile. "It’s great you ca. Thank you for your gifts."
"Roo, co take a seat. Soone, get him a cup of coffee." Kenneth called out in a friendly tone,
"You haven’t visited us since your bro left the country. Let’s catch up tonight."
"Roo, have you eaten yet?"
"I have." Roo replied, still as polite as ever.
"It’s been a while, but you seem even more mature and steady..." Louisa looked at him, finding Roo very likable. Tall, handso, competent, he was basically flawless.
On the second floor. Serena had planned to chat with her parents after Rosemary had gone up to her room. That way, she could strengthen family ties and indirectly find out if they knew about Phillip’s
situation.
Just as she opened the door, she overheard two maids discussing about Roo’s appearance.
After carefully asking them, she found out Roo had co to her house!
Her legs turned to jelly, and she was so frightened that she almost couldn’t stand still. "Miss Serena?"
Martha went up to help her in a hurry, "Are you alright?"
"Martha!" Serena grabbed Martha’s hand, her voice full of panic, "Roo’s here, in the living room...
He must have co because of what happened today! If my parents find out, about how I almost got his grandpa killed... What should I do?".
"Don’t freak out, let’s see what he says first."
"No... there’s a difference between him spilling the beans and coming clean." Serena quickly weighed her options and blurted out, "I’m going downstairs to apologize to him!"
"Miss Serena, don’t do anything rash." Martha tried to hold her back, "Keep your cool, let’s see what’s happening downstairs first, you listen to !"
Kenneth and Louisa exchanged a glance. Miss Collins... could they be referring to Rose?
Roo was well–inford, could he already know that the Collins’ real daughter was soone else?
And Serena was just an adopted daughter?!
It seed like he had sothing to say. Louisa spoke first, "Roo, this whole thing happened out of the blue, we didn’t get a chance to tell you, this story dates back quite a while..."
Roo thought she was referring to the previous engagent, he nodded, patiently waiting for her to continue.
Louisa recounted in detail about the hospital fire, then said, "We only recently found Rosemary, and haven’t yet announced her identity to the public. Rosemary’s grandparents still don’t know about this, we didn’t an to keep you or the McMillian family in the dark."
Roo was shocked.
Carl Was shocked, too.
Louisa knew that at this stage, it was impossible to keep things a secret, so she said, "Edith, go ask Rosemary down."
Carl looked at Mrs. Collins, then at Roo, what’s going on? Roo’s fiancee isn’t Miss Serena, but
Miss Rosemary??
Then this wedding... should be called off even more.
Roo wouldn’t even accept the highly accomplished Miss Serena he knows, let alone so girl he doesn’t know from a small village.
Miss Serena is top–notch in both talent and looks, and has been praised by the big shots in the capital.
But Miss Rosemary...
Roo’s gaze deepened, as if he was thinking about sothing.
Having just finished her shower, Rosemary ca downstairs when she heard her mom calling for her, without giving it a second thought.
She entered the room dressed in a thin nightgown, her hair bunched up in a ball, instantly catching everyone’s attention.
Carl’s jaw dropped when he saw that the woman was none other than Miss Rosemary.
Was she the biological daughter the Collins family had just found??
Roo’s eyes lifted slightly, a hint of curiosity in his gaze.
Was it her?
Was she the real daughter of the Collins family?
Rosemary had just co downstairs when she spotted Roo on the sofa. His handso face, eyes gleaming slightly, and a hint of a smile on his lips.
How did this man end up in her house? Rosemary’s eyes showed her confusion, "Mom, did you call ?"
"Co, Rose, sit with ." Louisa gently guided her daughter to sit down, saying, "Let introduce,this is Roo. Years ago, our family, the Collins, and the McMillian made a marriage pact. So
technically, Roo is your fiancé..."
Rosemary was totally confused and shocked.
What???
Fiancé???
What era is this? There’s still such thing as a marriage pact???
"This is our biological daughter we just found, Rosemary Collins," Louisa introduced to Roo..
Roo’s gaze, softened slightly. So it was her. He didn’t expect she was from the Collins family.
Carl also suddenly realized:" So Miss Rosemary is from the Collins family..."
No wonder she dared to help save people in the hospital, and dared to kick Susana on her knees....
Turned out she had a powerful background! Serena was eavesdropping from the second floor, initially thinking Roo ca to see her because of his grandpa’s matter!
She didn’t expect he was here for Rosemary!
Her nails dug deep into her palm, a bit angry. Why did this Rosemary have to show up!
Why did Rosemary have to co back to this family!
Why did she have to snatch everything that belonged to her?
"So Mr. McMillian is here today, to?" Rosemary looked at the man in front of her, not understanding his purpose.
Roo looked at the girl’s bright and clear eyes, smiling, "I heard that my fiancée just returned to her family, so I brought a little gift to visit."
Carl’s eyes widened in disbelief, looking at Roo.
Mr. McMillian, weren’t you here to break off the engagent?
How did it turn into a visit?
Was it because the person of the marriage pact was Miss Rosemary, so you changed your mind?
You changed your mind too fast!
Although the outside world rumored Roo to be cold–blooded, cruel and brutal, Louisa was very pleased with his character after getting to know him over the years. She knew this man was down–to– earth, capable, and responsible.
Regardless of anything else, just looking at his looks, wealth, and ability, he was the best of the best, unmatched by anyone else.
If Rose could marry him... her later life would definitely be happy and worry–free.
Rosemary never imagined that the man in front of her would be her fiancé...
