Rose looked at them and vice versa.
Hallie Hill raised her hand to greet both, "You are back, come here."
The two came over and sat aside, but their attention was paid on Rose.
"Zoe and Stefan, she's your second sister-in-law, Rose Linder." Hallie Hill introduced them to each other, "Rose, she's my daughter Zoe Hill. He's my youngest son Stefan Lee. And they are all in college now, one is a freshman and the other is a sophomore. You guys come and say hello."
"Nice to meet you, Rose." said Stefan in a white shirt, neat and tidy. He's a little bit shy and cutie.
Zoe was more overjoyed than unexpected and asked, "When did second eldest brother get married? I didn't even know that!"
"Zoe, it's your brother's decision, don't be impolite." Hallie scolded her daughter softly, "Come and greet Rose."
"Good to see you, Rose." Zoe greeted unwillingly.
"Don't be like this if you don' wanna do that." There were footsteps upstairs and followed with a cold voice. That's Bright with a cold expression.
"Brother." Zoe quickly stood up and called him in a bell-like and cheerful voice.
"Brother." said Stefan.
Bright just responded lightly, then walked towards Rose and naturally hold her hand, "Let's go home."
"My brother, you finally came back once. Could you just stay here overnight and spend more time with dad?" Zoe felt lost when she saw Bright leaving.
"It would be nice to have you and Stefan here." Bright had rarely stayed overnight in Lee's villa since he moved to Ginkgo Villa. "I won't stay here to bother dad. Out of sight, out of mind."
After that, Bright intended to hold Rose's hand and leave. Meanwhile though, Hallie called Rose, "Rose, your gift."
Rose was about to take the gift while Bright picked it up faster. With a glance, he finally placed it on the coffee table.
"Just tell me and I'll give everything you want. It's not proper to disturb our Auntie like this." said Bright in a reproachful but spoiled tone.
Rose nodded slightly and looked back at Hallie with sorry.
Being rejected by Bright, Hallie seemed to feel awkward and smiled in an embarrassment, "It's just a small gift for Rose."
"Yeah brother, my mom really wanna make Rose feel at home. Can you just take it?" Stefan felt sorry for his mother.
"Brother, mom didn't give it to me even though I asked for that. She cherishes Rose so much, how can you reject kindness of mom?" Zoe blamed on Bright, but she seemed to be dissatisfied with Rose.
"I'll give you if you like." Bright handed the skincare products to Zoe, then looked at Hallie, "We appreciate for your kindness and your gift. Farewell."
Then Bright took Rose away. Rose was so embarrassed that she said goodbye to Hallie and siblings, "Thank you Auntie, bye-bye."
"Come back often when you're available." Hallie stood by the side of the sofa clasping hands in front of her body with dignity and elegance.
After they left, Zoe stepped forward and supported Hallie to sit down, "Mom, you are partial to her. You give the skincare products to Rose, am I your biological daughter or not? Why I feel like being an outsider?"
"No nonsense Zoe. Rose is your second eldest brother's wife as well as a member of Lee family. Your dad will be mad at your words if he's here." Hallie scolded her naive daughter with a stern face.
"Mom, I don't like her." Zoe Hill showed an extreme unpleasantness on her face when Hallie being a lot partial.
"It doesn't matter whether you like her or not. What matters is that both Bright and your dad likes her." Hallie Hill reminded her again, "Be careful of your words."
