Chapter 24 Tell Me About Your Grievances
Chandler and Joy didn’t accept this indecent daughter from the bottom of their hearts, nor did they want her to come back to destroy the happiness and warmth of their family.
Moreover, five years ago, she had been driven out of the Linder family in front of many media. Rose’s return to the Linders would be an embarrassment to themselves.
“Mr. and Mrs. Linder, don't you know Rose? Why are you not happy at all when your daughter is back?” Nora deliberately raised her soft and pleasant voice.
Grandma Linder recovered from the excitement of seeing Rose and found that her son and daughter- in-law hadn’t spoken. She frowned. “Rose is talking to you. Are you deaf?”
“Mom, today is your 80th birthday, let’s discuss this after we go home.” Chandler replied evasively.
“Yes, mom.” Joy echoed her husband's words.
“Yes, today is my 80th birthday, so I have the final say.” Grandma Linder was very dissatisfied with the Linder couple’s response. She didn't let go of Rose’s hand for a single moment. “Rose, you will come home with me when the banquet is over. Tonight, stay with grandma to make some small talk. You… child, you are so thin... Grandma really feels bad.”
In this family, only grandma loved her the most. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Her biological parents hated her and wished she would disappear forever.
Rose already knew what her parents thought of a long time ago, but her heart would still be filled with sadness when she saw them again.
She and Sophie were both their own flesh and blood, so how could they bear to be so cruel to her?
“Grandma, I just have a thin face. I still have quite a bit of weight on my body.” Rose comforted her grandma. After all she was already 80-year-old, and her health has always been quite poor.
“Grandma, do you think Rose looks good in this dress?” Nora also subtly diverted Grandma Linder's attention.
Rose wore elegant makeup, her beautiful Korean-style hair was fluffy and lazy, and her swan neck was white and graceful, as noble as a princess.
A goose-yellow tube top dress made her skin look porcelain white and charming. The waist was decorated with shiny fine diamonds and the hem of the veil was like a cloud.
She was pure, sexy, and graceful, making people wonder how there could be someone so perfect and exquisite!
“Beautiful, very beautiful.” Grandma Linder smiled with satisfaction. In her eyes, her elder granddaughter was the most beautiful princess.
“Grandma, who are you praising about being beautiful?” It was a sweet female voice with traces of playfulness.
“Sophie, see who it is.” Grandma Linder happily pulled Rose in front of her.
Sophie’s laughter stopped abruptly when she saw that it was Rose. Shock flashed across her beautiful eyes and the smile on her face froze for a few seconds, but she quickly recovered.
The man she held onto was Sky. They were officially married three years ago, and she became Sky’s wife.
Their wedding was very grand. It lasted for three days and three nights. They were a trending topic, fully showing everyone Sophie’s happiness.
The healthy Sky had clean eyebrows, fair skin, vermilion lips, and a vigorous look. His eyes were darker than before and were especially cold when he looked at Rose.
When he misunderstood and abandoned her five years ago, Rose knew that the warm and caring boy she once liked was gone.
“So it’s sister who came back. I haven't seen you for five years. I really miss you.” Sophie pretended to hold Rose’s hand, but Rose avoided her.
Nora also took a step to block Sophie, with sarcasm in her eyes. “Since you guys are so close to each other, why didn’t you search for her these past five years? You even married your sister’s fiancée to replace her…you’ve really missed her quite a lot.”
“Although Rose is kind and generous and won’t fuss over it, I’m petty. If anyone bullies Rose in front of me, I won’t treat her very nicely!”
Nora wore a red high-slit dress with a sling V neckline. With charming eyes, flaring red lips, snow-white porcelain skin, and long dark-grey hair in big wavy curls, Nora looked tall, domineering, and enchanting.
Nora and Rose were like two sister flowers, one like fire and the other like ice. They made the beautiful and sweet Sophie much less attractive and became the most beautiful women at the banquet.
Sophie looked at Rose, who she hadn’t seen for five years and found that time treated her well over the years. She changed from naivete to maturity, so charming that she attracted men’s gaze.
She was jealous of Rose and had been jealous since she was a child.
She unconsciously held Sky’s arm tighter. She was afraid that Sky would waver when he saw Rose after she transformed.
“Rose, look at how pretty sister is.” Sophie cautiously tested Sky’s attitude towards Rose.
“You are the most beautiful in my heart.” Sky raised his right hand and lightly covered the back of Sophie’s hand with his, spoiling her.
“Sky, you are so kind...” Sophie blushed shyly. “You are my wife, and I will treat you well for the rest of my life.” Sky calmed Sophie and looked at Nora with distance between them. “So please be careful with your words, Miss Cooper. I am the one who proposed to Sophie. If you have any complaints or anger, come at me.”
Sophie looked at Sky beside her, her eyes watery from being moved. Her vermillion lips lifted up into a smile. “Sky, thank you.”
Those who show off their love will die the earliest!
Nora sneered coldly, full of disdain, feeling disgusted.
“Since we’ve gotten to this point, I also want to say something.” Grandma Linder became serious and asked Sky. “Sky, why did you break the engagement with Rose and marry Sophie? What's wrong with Rose?”
“Mom, when it comes to young people's feelings, we as the elders shouldn’t interfere. We just need to give them our blessings.” Chandler spoke first, wanting to stop Grandma Linder from delving into it. “And now it is not an appropriate time to talk about this.”
“Mom, Sky and Sophie were in love with each other so it’s natural for them to get together.” Joy spoke for her younger daughter under the pretense of true love.
“I don't want to listen to you guys, I want to listen to Sky.” Grandma Linder was very angry that they always got in the way. “It doesn’t matter who was right or wrong, what I want to know is the truth.”
“Grandma, I just want to say that I am not sorry toward anyone, I just made the most correct choice.” Sky’s eyes were cold.
“That’s bull!” Nora exploded and swore inelegantly. “Sky, not only are your eyes blind, your heart is also freaking blind—”
Rose stopped Nora, who wanted to fight for her. Since grandma was here, and it was her 80th birthday, she didn’t want to hurt her grandma, who was worried about her, and didn't want to ruin her grandma's birthday banquet.
She could solve her own issues by herself, slowly, and after five years of waiting, she was not in a hurry.
“Rose, tell grandma if you have any grievances. Grandma will help you and will never let anyone hurt you.” Grandma Linder felt sorry for this strong yet silly girl.
