Shea and Rose had the same innocent look in their eyes and anyone could sense how passionate they were from the way they spoke.
"Irene, just say yes! Rose keeps talking about you! You have always been her best friend," Shea said with a smile. "She spends most of her time with Kiara, so she doesn't have any other close friends."
Irene turned to look at the girl next to Shea, who was slimmer and shorter.
Kiara looked at Irene sheepishly, not daring to speak.
"Irene, this is my younger sister, Kiara." Seeing as how Irene did not say anything, Rose pulled Kiara to her and made the introductions.
Irene nodded.
"It's settled then. I will call Wesley and tell him to get a room ready." Shea smiled before walking away to make the phone call.
It was too late for Irene to protest, and she asked dazedly, "Who is Wesley?"
"That's our dad," Rose said. "Aunt Avery took me down the hill and they are the people who adopted me. They treat me like their own. Even Kiara sees me as her real sister, and they have all been great to me."
Irene nodded. "That's good."
"Irene, do you not want to come to my house? Do you think I'm trying to show off? That's not my intention at all," Rose said sincerely. "It's just been so long, and I've missed you. If you are facing difficulties, I can ask my parents to help you. They are really good people."
Kiara nodded. "Irene, my whole family is nice."
Irene fell into silence.
Shea ended the phone call, came back, and grabbed Irene's hands. "My husband wants you to come by our house as well. He said that he will cook lunch for us all. He is a great cook. Let's stay here for a while longer and head home!"
"My dad really is a great cook. As long as he is not on the night shift, he would cook. Oh, by the way, my dad is a super-talented doctor."
"Your dad is going to be embarrassed if he hears you."
