After seeing Cecil, Marlene took them to a restaurant.
In the private room, Paul was still taking care of Hanna.
"Rosa, don't you want to see them since you're back?" Marlene asked carefully, for fear of touching Rosa's sore spot.
Rosa paused from eating and said, "They should be living a good life..."
Marlene sighed, "Henry treats them well. They are well-protected. It has been five years, and no one knows what they look like. They don't attend kindergarten and have teachers teach them at home. Even if they were photographed by the paparazzi occasionally, the photos would disappear before they were published. I am sorry I couldn't take any photos of them for you."
Rosa lowered her eyes and said in a soft voice, "They are his sons. He should be good to them..."
"What about you?" Marlene asked, "Do you not miss them at all?"
The smile on Rosa's face froze. A few seconds later, she looked up at her and chuckled, "Marlene, do you not plan to marry again?"
Marlene got divorced and gained custody of her child.
"I am busy as a doctor. No one will be satisfied to be married to me. Plus, I am just fine being alone."
"Yeah, it's good to be alone..."
Marlene was stunned and then sighed, "Rosa... Over the past five years, Grace has become... I'm afraid you can't defeat her..."
"She is powerful. She made Geoffrey divorce Asher and married him. Then, she helped Geoffrey start his own company. She is very capable." Rosa's eyes were cold as she said, "The supporters behind her are self-evident."
Although she was abroad, she paid attention to the news from home.
Grace and Paige got close, so it was clear how Grace got to be so successful.
In the past five years, Paige...
She remained the woman that stay by Henry's side for the longest.
Everyone thought that Paige and Henry were married but did not make it public.
No one knew if the twins addressed her as their mother in private.
"I have never thought someone could be so rotten to the bone. Asher knew Paige helped in making Geoffrey leave her to be together with Grace, but she was not mad at all. What do you think is the reason?" Marlene didn't understand why they didn't fall out.
"Why?" Rosa smiled faintly and said, "They must have dirt on Asher."
"Dirt? Grace has dirt on Asher?"
"No one is perfect. Asher has been at odds with Geoffrey for a long time. She knows everything he has done. How can she bear it? So, she must have a lover too. Grace might not know, but could it be said the same for Paige? As another shareholder of the Lewis Corporation, it would be shameful if it was exposed. How will Miranda see her mother by then?"
With this, Rosa chuckled and said, "Maybe Asher hates Grace more than I do. But with Geoffrey's protection and Paige's support, how can Asher make a move on Grace?"
"Does Henry not care?" Marlene didn't believe it. Everyone was afraid, but Henry shouldn't be.
"Will someone else other than them know?"
Marlene was stunned. She stared blankly at Rosa.
Why did Rosa become both familiar and strange?
Rosa's analysis was clearly correct, but why was she a little scared?
Had Rosa been blinded by hatred?
"Marlene, don't have to look at me like that. People need to grow up. I have paid a huge price for it. My change is inevitable." Rosa seemed to understand what Marlene was thinking through Marlene's eyes.
Marlene was stunned and sighed helplessly. Change was not a bad thing.
If Rosa remained innocent, her ending would be far worse.
After the meal, Rosa was going to the house that the company had arranged for her.
"Rosa, stay with me. I have an extra room." Marlene invited.
"Marlene, thank you, but the company arranged somewhere near Quaductions. You have to work, and Paul lives in the school. It's more convenient like this."
Marlene felt helpless. She was indeed very busy with her work.
Marlene drove Rosa to the apartment building. Before Rosa went upstairs, Marlene received an emergency call from the hospital.
"Rosa, remember to call me if you need anything."
"Okay!"
Marlene didn't waste any more time. The patient was in critical condition, and she had to go immediately.
Rosa watched Marlene's car leave.
Rosa held the suitcase in one hand and took her daughter's hand with the other and walked toward the apartment.
She didn't know if it was a coincidence, but her apartment was on the 18th floor.
She went upstairs and opened the door. It was a well-decorated house.
It was in a modern style and fully furnished. It had two rooms and a living room.
As the agent sent by England, she needed to stay here for about half a year.
Therefore, the company found her the most expensive, comfortable, and closest apartment to the company.
"Hanna, I will send you to school tomorrow. Be good at school!"
Before she came, she had already registered Hanna in a private international kindergarten. The fee was expensive, but the teachers were very responsible.
For her, money was not a problem as Hanna was her priority.
In addition, she had to interview a few nannies with good reputations to care for Hanna.
"Okay. Mommy, I've been looking forward to going to kindergarten. I'll be good!"
Hanna seemed excited, and her eyes were shining with anticipation.
Rosa was a little distressed. In fact, Hanna should have gone to kindergarten a long time ago, but she postponed it because of Hanna's poor health.
"Good girl!" Rosa kissed Hanna's forehead and said, "Let's go and get you washed up. You should go to bed early and go to kindergarten tomorrow morning."
Hanna nodded and followed Rosa to wash up.
