Renewal Of Love novel Chapter 463

A couple of days later, the Fu Family welcomed a few guests on their doorstep. It was Rose and Mark, together with their precious daughter, Paula.

When the doorbell rang, Selma came to answer the door instead of Anne.

With arms folded across her chest, Selma didn't invite Rose in and gave her a long, condescending look, her hostile gaze sweeping over Rose slowly from head to toe.

After a few seconds, with a little sigh, a peaceful smile graced Rose's face as she greeted Selma politely, "Hello, auntie."

Sliding her gaze away from Rose, Selma lifted her brows nonchalantly and ignored her. Earlier, Anne already shed some light on what happened to Rose, but Selma couldn't believe her ears after hearing the story. Only a silly girl like Anne would consider a statement coming straight from Rose's mouth.

If changing someone's personality was that simple, could Rose do it?

"Mark, I know you're a smart guy, so I want you to answer me honestly. What can you say about Rose's change?"

Selma asked him straight to the point, her voice not faltering a bit.

Embarrassment flashed across Mark's face, and a slight frown created little wrinkles around his eyes. But with Selma being older than him, he answered respectfully, "Auntie, people undergo pretty remarkable changes over time. Perhaps it would help if you looked at them with new eyes.

Let's take Kevin and Anne as an example. Back then, you were vehemently against their relationship. But at the current moment, you're already wishing them both love and true happiness, right?"

Presented with this point, Selma nodded in agreement.

"I'm a bit apprehensive regarding the sincerity of some people. Some people are so fixed in their ways that they cannot change. Who knows, they might have kept a few tricks up their sleeves."

Selma shook her head as she moved aside to let them walk in.

Embarrassed, Rose widened her eyes in shock, and she sighed helplessly. Her cold hands gripped Paula's hand tightly and led her inside the house.

What happened before was already a thing of the past. Like what Anne said, what mattered most to them was living in the present and hoping for the best in the future. As long as Rose tried her best to prove her reformation, Selma would eventually change her opinions on her.

After Anne was informed of the arrival of the guests, she felt excited and walked out happily to join them. A few days had gone by since their last meeting, and Anne instantly noticed the positive energy in Rose's aura, and her face looked more plump and full.

"Welcome! Please sit down and make yourself comfortable." Anne emerged and greeted them. Then she looked at Paula with a huge smile and her arms outstretched. "Paula, come give your aunt a warm hug."

They had met before, so Anne was no stranger to Paula. The girl directly squeezed into Anne's arms, who couldn't stop grinning.

A delightful smile surfaced on Rose's face when she saw the affectionate exchange. She couldn't help but ask, "How is Emily doing recently?"

Anne smiled warmly in return and replied, "Don't worry. Both of us did our best to ensure Emily's safety during that accident in the shopping mall, so I'm positive she would do just fine. Relax, all is well with her."

Rose anxiously nodded and settled down on the couch.

Since her arrival in the Fu Family, Rose had her share of a handful of memories. But now that it had crossed her mind, she felt pathetic. It was a little overwhelming for her to be sitting snugly in the living room with that thought nagging her.

Anne's cleverness led her to see Rose's uneasiness. "Rose, you're my sister. Is there something troubling you for you to show up at my house? You know you can tell me," Anne said as she grabbed Rose's hand.

Anne cast aside the past with her explicit validation of their kinship. From now on, she regarded Rose as her dear sister. It was a pretty common doing for a younger sister to visit her elder sister.

Rose nodded heavily after having understood right off what Anne was implying.

At that same instant, Kevin arrived home from work. The moment he caught sight of Rose and Mark, his face lit up and his brows quizzically raised while walking up to them. "What a nice surprise! I haven't seen you guys in a long time. Anne feels bored from staying home these days. You should drop by often and have a chat with her."

Initially, Kevin and Anne had planned to start up LF Group as a design company, but they feared that Anne's reputation would have adverse effects. With the scar on Anne's face having been removed surgically only recently and still healing, they thought it wouldn't be wise to start the company's operations now.

Left without a choice, Anne needed to stay at home following the doctor's orders. Getting stuck at home bored her to death.

Rose glanced at Kevin and noticed how remarkably handsome he looked, and he had a dignified posture oozing with charisma and confidence. There was something magnetic in his presence that could drive women insane.

Together with the wisdom and wealth that he had acquired, the qualities he possessed would make him an incredible rarity in this world for over a hundred years.

There was nothing wrong with being enamored of such a guy!

But Rose knew her heart's desires very well and was fully aware that he was her brother-in-law. Besides, her happiness didn't revolve around him, but it rather rested on Mark's hands.

Kevin had belonged to her past, and Rose had better things to do than dwell on it.

Rose's appreciative gazes on Kevin's handsome face were done without malice or deeper meaning. Her affinity toward Kevin's appearance no longer involved feelings of intimacy or compulsion.

Time might heal all wounds, but it could also change many things.

Before long, Rose averted her gaze, and when she spun around, she saw Mark. When their eyes met, they shared a meaningful smile without requiring any spoken word.

The three naughty kids playing around in the room ran out immediately after hearing Rose's arrival.

Back then, when Rose was under Kim's control through medication, she had hurt Sally. This bitter experience prompted Sally to hide behind Eddy the instant she saw Rose. Simon, who was standing beside Eddy, also had a dreadful reminder of Rose's violent streak, and so did Eddy. This resulted in all three of them staring sternly at Rose as they stood rooted to the spot.

Initially, Rose felt the urge to step forward and hug the kids, but she changed her mind when she felt their hostile stares coupled with tense postures. Finally, with a hopeless sigh, she balked.

Rose realized she had to deal with the repercussions and assume responsibility for her past actions.

Anne met their eyes and offered a tender smile as she spoke. "Eddy, Sally, and Simon, come here. I want to introduce you to a special guest. Please say hi to your Auntie Rose!"
