Rose's gaze fell on the delicate and beautiful little cake that the little boy had handed to her daughter. She squinted her eyes, even though she hadn't spoken to Elliot's son in a few days, and he looked quite shy. His pale face gave her a feeling of pity.

However, Rose didn't want her daughter getting too close to Madeleine's son after all. Madeleine was not an easy woman to deal with.

"Leah," Rose interrupted the two children as they turned their heads towards her.

Rose seemed to notice that the little boy became even more shy and lowered his head while holding back his hand with the cake, afraid to speak again.

Leah ran over happily and pulled Rose's arm slightly, shaking it. "Mommy, are you feeling better? Let's go downstairs for dinner! The maid has made some delicious food for us so you can recover!"

Rose nodded and looked at him again.

Shawn felt uncomfortable all over his body but greeted Rose with a soft voice. "Auntie."

Rose smiled and nodded but didn't know what else to say, so she took hold of her daughter's hand first before heading down stairs.

Downstairs at the dining table, Rose and her daughter sat facing each other at the table, which was adorned with several dishes that looked both exquisite and rich, tantalizing anyone who laid eyes on them. Rose suddenly realized how hungry she was.

For the past few days, she had been eating bland and light dishes while she was ill, leaving her mouth devoid of any flavors.

The servant brought out one last dish, then stood respectfully aside, explaining, "Mrs. Harper, Mr. Harper called earlier, saying he won't be coming home tonight because he has work; you can have dinner together with Leah and Shawn."

Rose nodded absentmindedly, allowing the servant to leave first.

She actually hoped that Elliot wouldn't come back for dinner; she had no desire to dine with him. These days, she had managed to avoid him while being ill, and it brought her considerable relief, especially not having to deal with his irritable temperament. She had been sleeping very soundly at night as a result.

"I don't know why Daddy is so busy these past few days; we barely get any time together anyway! Today when Mommy finally feels better, he doesn't come home for dinner either... It's really annoying we can't even eat together..." Leah pouted cutely, expressing some dissatisfaction; everyone present could hear it.

Rose's lips twitched as her gaze involuntarily fell on her daughter. After a few glances, she tentatively asked, "Leah, do you... really like Elliot?"

Beside her, Shawn's ears perked up as he listened intently for Leah's response.

Leah coughed and cautiously glanced at Rose before shaking her head nonchalantly. "No way! I just think... it's a little too quiet here! You know me, Mommy. I like it when there are more people around!"

Yes, that was the reason.

Rose deeply looked at the little girl and nodded with a smile before dropping the subject. "Let's eat."

As Rose picked up her utensils to start eating, she noticed that Shawn hadn't joined them at the table but instead grabbed a piece of bread from the kitchen and seemed to be heading upstairs to eat.

Shawn had indeed planned on eating in his own room; he could sense that Rose didn't particularly like him and even Leah didn't seem too fond of him either. He didn't want to be an inconvenience.
