"Roo" Serena spotted him about to leave and quickly grabbed the hem of his coat. "I like you; I really do. Can you turn around and look at , please?"
At this mont, Martha coughed from a distance, seemingly hinting at sothing.
Following Martha’s gaze, Serena saw Rosemary descend the stairs step by step. She hurriedly let go of
Roo’s coat, stamring, "Sis, you mustn’t misunderstand."
Crap, would Rosemary spill the beans to their parents?
Would they think Serena had ulterior motives and kick her out of the house?
If that were the case, she’d be dood!
"Carry on," Rosemary said nonchalantly as she walked towards the kitchen.
She had been watching the drama unfold from upstairs until she got hungry and didn’t feel like watching anymore.
Roo shot Serena an annoyed look, then quickly caught up with Rosemary’s pace, explaining nervously, "Rose, it’s not what you think."
"Oh? What is it then?" Rosemary retorted indifferently as she continued towards the kitchen.
"She just happened to brush against my coat, that’s all." Roo hastily took off his suit jacket and tossed it in the trash bin.
Standing still, Serena felt like she had just been slapped across the face. She was utterly mortified!
He actually found the clothing she touched filthy!
"Rose" Roo grabbed Rosemary’s hand and asked, "Are you mad? If so, I’ll change my pants too."
While heading upstairs, he called David Collins and asked, "Which pair of pants in the cloakroom haven’t you worn?"
"What?" David Collins sat up on the hotel bed, his handso face full of surprise. "Roo, are you broke? You don’t even have pants to wear?What are you doing at my house so early in the morning?"
David Collins, the youngest son who was rarely ho, suddenly understood, "Are you so broke that you need my family to take you in? Should I wire you so money? I can’t let you be so destitute."
"Which one hasn’t been worn?" Roo resisted the urge to punch him and pushed open the door to the cloakroom. It was about 20 square ters, with clothes for different seasons and occasions and
materials neatly arranged...."
But the colors were too conspicuous, too trendy–a bit hip–hop, not Roo’s style.
"The left section is all gifts from brands, and they’ve all been washed before being put into the closet.
Just how did you go bankrupt? Tell , how did I not hear about this big news?"
Before David Collins could finish his taunting, Roo ended the call.
After changing his pants and heading downstairs, Roo saw Rosemary on the balcony, making a call.
Her slender figure was so pleasing to the eye that it was indescribable. Seeing her hang up after a few words, Roo imdiately approached her and said, "Rose, I’ve changed."
Rosemary glanced at him, and sure enough, he had changed into new pants. How did he have pants at her house?
"Rose." Roo wanted to hug her.
But Rosemary, aware of the several servants around, didn’t let him get what he wanted.
Roo felt like he was missing a piece of his heart. He was extrely tornted.
"Roo, you’re here early today?" At this ti, Kenneth ca downstairs, yawning lazily.
"Good morning." Roo looked attentively at the girl in front of him. She seed indifferent, like she was angry.
Kenneth was cheerful, feeling great first thing in the morning. "Morning, Rose, Serena, you’re up too?
Go have breakfast first; I’ll wait for your mom."
"Okay." Serena glanced at Rosemary nervously. Seeing Rosemary walk towards the kitchen without any intention of telling on her, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief..
Thank God, if her parents knew she had grabbed Roo’s coat, they would surely think she had ulterior motives.
At the dining table, Roo gently blew on the fried egg on the plate before setting it in front of Rosemary and saying, "It’s not hot anymore; you can eat now."
Rosemary didn’t eat it and instead picked u p a cute-looking sandwich, casually biting into it while considering what Jack had told her on the phone earlier.
Roo held up a glass of milk to her and said, "How about so milk?"
Rosemary didn’t seem interested in drinking. Roméo swapped the milk for a cup of coffee and held it to her lips.
"Will you ever stop?"
Unfazed, Roo put down the coffee and kept talking: "How about cream of mushroom soup? Or salmon seafood soup?" Rosemary was reminded of Jack’s news–a few of their brothers were injured by the Group –and Her brows furrowed in irritation.
Seeing her finish a sandwich, Roo served her a plate of toasted bread.
Rosemary was a bit helpless. "Can you stop stuffing with food?"
"What can I do to make you not mad?"
"I’m not mad." As soon as Rosemary responded, her phone vibrated. She glanced at the caller ID, stood up, and walked away to answer the call.
[Boss, Group S sent a ssage. They’re demanding our territory within three days, or they’ll blow us to smithereens.]
"Ha." Quite audacious.
There was a place outside the jurisdiction of three countries. From the sky, it looked like a triangle, hence the na "triangular zone."
The zone was lawless and ho to countless small gangs and a few larger organizations; Rosemary’s group being one of them.
Their territory housed a mountain full of rare herbs, so natural, so planted by Rosemary. It was worth a fortune.
Group S’s threat today was undoubtedly a desperate move, keen to claim the land for themselves.
"You handle it." Rosemary had just returned ho and couldn’t personally go to the triangular zone.
Just then, Roo hugged her from behind.
"I’ve got to hang up."
"Rose." Roo’s voice was deep and captivating.
"Are you still eating?" Rosemary didn’t expect him to be so clingy.
The thing was, from the start, Serena had been sitting there watching, feeling wronged and angry; she couldn’t even finish her breakfast!
She couldn’t believe that Roo, usually so aloof, would stoop so low!
He didn’t have a temper in front of Rosemary at all!
Even if Rosemary gave him a hard ti, he was all about pleasing and showing weakness!
How could Rosemary treat such a great guy like this?
It was too much!
"Please forgive ." Roo pleaded with the girl in his arms, "Don’t ignore ."
Rosemary was truly at a loss for words. "Haven’t I been responding to you?"
"You’ve beco colder. How can I get you to pay attention to ?"
"Talk to like you used to." Roo held onto her tightly.
Rosemary really couldn’t recall how she used to interact with him. She felt like she hadn’t changed at all.
Or was it because she zoned out earlier and didn’t notice what he said, making him feel neglected?
