Seeing the two of them bickering again, Gabrielle thought they would get along well through those petty quarrels. They would probably make best friends out of each other.
"It looks like you aren't doing so bad recovering, Doctor Maniac. If you follow up your rehabilitation well and consistently, you'll walk within no time," Gabrielle encouraged him.
"Gabrielle, this ought to be the finest present he's ever gotten." Rose grinned.
"Just stop with the bickering. I bet you're starving. Let's eat lunch together." Gabrielle invited them.
"We are hungry. We knew you would show up today. Since we wanted to eat together, we waited for you. Did you bring the child with you? You didn't leave him, did you?" Rose asked Gabrielle.
"Yes, I brought him back. Star is upstairs, sleeping." Gabrielle escorted them to the seats.
"Rose, Doctor Maniac, Westley and I will return to the Morris' Mansion for dinner. We will be back later and we could celebrate it together. As a result, you, Sophie, and Neil will have supper here and look after Star for us. Is that a good idea?" Gabrielle asked them what they thought.
"I can't disagree. Anyhow, I am alone. I can eat wherever. I got no home, and it's not a must that I go home for the family gathering." Rose smiled faintly.
Since she lost her one and only sister, Rose was homeless.
"Hey, Rose, don't be so discouraged. Consider this your home from now on, forever. Okay?" Gabrielle stated solemnly to Rose.
Rose said Gabrielle resembled her younger sister, so to Gabrielle Rose was an elder sister.
"Okay, I'll call this wonderful place my home from now on. Every year, it's a wonderful idea to have the gathering here," Rose said seriously.
"Let's eat."
After lunch, Rose accompanied Gabrielle to see Star. Sophie and the others began decorating the house ahead of the celebration.
"Gabrielle, you have a beautiful child. To say the least, the mixed-blood child is beautiful. I'm not sure if I can have such in the future." Admiring Star's sweet face, Rose couldn't help joking.
"Rose, you will do whatever you want in this world. Just wait for the right time to come," Gabrielle said coolly.
Gabrielle was honestly unconcerned about Rose's personal life. All in all, everyone had various opinions.
"Rose, I have to get this call." Gabrielle's phone rang then.
By the time she returned, Alvin had replaced a new SIM card for her. The phone number she used in Antawood was valid again.
Wendy was the one calling.
"Hi, mom." Gabrielle answered the phone from the balcony.
"Gabrielle, you're finally ready to pick up the phone and call me mom. Tell me what you and Westley did. Are you going to be happy when the Jones family falls into shambles because of you?" Wendy unleashed a deluge of abuse on her.
Bryce was still injured, so definitely Wendy was furious. On top of that, she could not get in touch with Gabrielle. Of course, she was enraged now that she had finally contacted Gabrielle. Despite the fact that Gabrielle comprehended Wendy's feelings, she would never tolerate Wendy's method of speaking to her.
"Mom, maybe you should ask Bryce about this matter. I've been the victim from the start to the end," Gabrielle said coldly.
"I don't get it. How are you the victim here? Don't you appreciate marrying Westley?" Wendy was enraged.
