Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 904

“What has Anne been busy with lately?” Geneva wondered aloud. “I’ve invited her over for dinner twice, but she always says she’s too busy. It’s been over a month since I last saw her…”

Neely Rodriguez lowered his newspaper and glanced at her. “Honestly, you’re a grown woman. Why are you pestering your granddaughter for company? What do you think Roseanne is busy with? It’s either experiments or papers. Of course she can’t get away.”

“I know… I just miss her after all this time…”

Neely paused. It was true. He missed her too.

After the New Year, the elderly couple had bought a villa in the same Pinehollow neighborhood as their daughter. They moved in as soon as the contracts were signed. Madge was quite startled to return from Hong Kong and find her parents had become her neighbors, but she was also genuinely happy. The arrangement was perfect for Neely and Geneva; they could see their daughter and son-in-law every day without living under the same roof, giving everyone their own space.

They had been living there for two months before Neely had to return to the capital for a board meeting he was chairing. Upon their return, neither of them had been idle. Neely was busy with work, while Geneva tended to her garden, worked on her vegetable patch, and periodically called Roseanne to invite her for dinner.

…

Another Saturday rolled around. Roseanne had worked late at the lab the night before and ended up just sleeping there, since she kept a bed, bedding, toiletries, and a change of clothes on hand. She slept until eight, woke up for breakfast, and slipped on her lab coat. By eight-thirty, the second set of model data had finished processing, allowing her to pick up right where she left off.

“Morning, Roseanne~”

At nine, Mamie and Scales arrived.
