Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 1071

Chapter 1071 His Child (10)

At this moment, Leah standing behind Rose didn't want to say anything more. Her father was really hopeless. She had wanted to mediate between her father and mother, hoping they could reconcile and make peace. But now it seemed like her father's pursuit of his wife was a long way off.

Rose heard him promise Madeleine and took a deep breath, looking coldly at the man in front of her. "You go if you want to go. I'm not going."

"That young man."

Elliot uttered three words lightly, feeling much better than before despite his initial displeasure.

Rose was slightly stunned but regained her composure quickly. She looked at the man in front of her with gritted teeth as she spat out four words. "How despicable you are!"

She didn't want to return to the Russell's or see those disgusting people again. But for Valentin's sake, she had no choice but to go back there.

The hand she had placed by her side kept tightening as she thought about facing the person she hated most - Conner Russell.

...

In the end, Rose went with Elliot to the Russell Residence without bringing Leah along. She didn't want Leah involved in such a disgusting place.

An hour later, Elliot's car stopped outside the Russell Residence.

As soon as Rose got out of the car, Madeleine greeted her with a smile on her face, "Rose! You're back! I thought you would be mad at me and not come."

Rose smiled at Madeleine while saying calmly, "I never wanted to come back here."

If it weren't for Elliot threatening her with Valentin's safety, she wouldn't have set foot inside the Russell Residence again!

The next second Shiloh Fox - Rose's stepmother who is also Madeleine's biological mother - walked out from inside the hall.

"Rose! You're back! Come on in; we've been waiting for you," said Shiloh.

Elliot's eyes darkened as he glanced sideways at Rose who looked tense. He opened his lips slightly and spoke coldly, "Let's go."

Taking a deep breath, Rose walked into the hall with an impassive expression on her face.

Soon enough, everyone sat down around the dining table where Conner spoke first pretending concern towards his daughter. "Rose, are you okay? You don't know how worried I am knowing something might have happened to you."

With disdainful eyes fixed upon Conner when he spoke these words, she didn't see any sadness in Conner's face.

She remained silent, but Conner had no intention of giving up on small talk. He continued, "You must have had a hard time living abroad for the past five years!"

After saying this, Conner pretended to pick up a dish for Rose and said, "But if you come back to live here, you and your child won't have such a hard time."

Rose looked down at the dish her father picked out for her. She smiled faintly with an indifferent expression and said, "I don't eat cauliflower."

Conner heard this and his face darkened slightly. However, he still forced a smile to smooth things over. "If you don't eat cauliflower then you can drink some soup instead."

He gave Shiloh a look that signaled her to get up and serve Rose soup.

Rose watched this scene before her eyes with amusement. This man who claimed to be her father once turned a blind eye towards the abuse from her stepmother and stepsisters towards herself and her brother. Now that she has returned after disappearing for five years, he is pretending to care about her again but doesn't even know what she likes or dislikes when it comes to food.

Rose pursed her lips without saying anything while Shiloh wiped away tears that weren't there after serving Rose's soup. Suddenly she spoke up, "If Rachel were here, she would love drinking soup."

"Unfortunately," Shiloh continued, "she can never drink it again."

As soon as Elliot heard these words, his face darkened visibly making Shiloh immediately change course, "It was Rachel's own fault; she made mistakes which led to such consequences."
