The birthday banquet ended at nine o'clock. Rose was stopped by Grandma Linder, and they went back to the Linder family’s villa together.
The car drove slowly into the villa. After five-years, Rose returned to the Linder’s house again, but everything felt so strange and unfamiliar to her as if she never lived and grew up there.
Back at the house, no one except grandma really welcomed her. They were even disgusted, but she didn't care at all.
Rose helped her grandma sit on the sofa in the living room. Chandler and Joy sat together, and Sophie and Sky sat beside them – a family of four, warm and complete.
And she was the extra one.
“Grandma, let me help you go back to your room and rest.” Rose saw that it was late.
“I have something to say.” Grandma Linder blocked the hand that Rose stretched out to help her and pulled Rose to sit next to her.
“Mom, it's late. We’ve had a tired day. Why don’t we talk about it tomorrow?” Chandler was also a little tired, but it was more that he didn’t want to talk about Rose returning to the Linder family.
“Yes, mom, the doctor has said that you should rest more because it’s good for your health.” Joy also fulfilled her responsibility as the daughter-in-law.
“What? I'm not dead yet and you all don't want to listen to me anymore?” Grandma Linder was well aware of what they thought that she roared out of anger.
“Mom, we didn't mean that, don't be angry,” said the couple.
“Grandma, don't be angry. Seeing you this way makes me sad.” Rose frowned and said worriedly.
Grandma Linder looked at the sensible Rose, patted the back of her hand lightly, and comforted her. “I'm fine.”
Then she looked at the other four in the room. “I know my condition. I could just survive for more than a few years. Today is my 80th birthday, my only wish is to know what happened that year. Why did Sky separate from Rose? I want to know if Rose was wronged!”
Sky and Rose were childhood sweethearts and loved each other.
There was nothing to complain about Sky’s character and family. She and her husband approved of him as their grandson-in-law.
To her surprise, after her husband passed away and she went abroad to recuperate, she returned to attend the wedding of Sky and Sophie... and was told that Rose went abroad.
Sky remained silent, lowered his head slightly, and wrinkled his brows.
“Sky, if you betrayed Rose and went to Sophie, then I, an old lady, won’t let you off easily.” Grandma Linder saw that he didn't say anything and couldn't restrain her anger.
The thought that Rose had been away from home for five years and didn't know how much she had suffered made her blame herself.
“Grandma, this is not Sky’s fault. I and Sky are in love. We just want to be together.” Sophie said the “truth”. “Grandma, even if you care about sister, you should not be so biased. I am also your granddaughter. In your eyes, my happiness is not as important as sister’s?”
“Sophie, don't talk to grandma like that.” Chandler scolded his daughter.
“Mom, Sophie is immature, don't blame her.” Joy glared at her daughter.
“Sky...” Grandma Linder called Sky’s name.
“Grandma, I...” Sky couldn't speak. His eyes fell on Rose.
When he knew that Rose betrayed him, he was really hurt and pained, and hated that she gave up easily. But everything happened a long time ago and even though he still hated her, he didn’t want to talk about what happened back then. He wouldn’t be a man if he did.
“Grandma, I don't like Sky.” Rose stretched out her hand to caress her grandma's chest and took the responsibility.
