Chad smiled and said, “Rosemary, that’s who I am in your heart?”
Rosemary thought that when she said that, Chad would get mad and stop talking to her. But instead of being annoyed, he looked pleased.
What was she gonna do now? How the hell was she gonna find out if it was him that night?
Rosemary took a deep breath and clenched her fingers around the corners of her dress, saying, “Isn’t it?”
Looking at her pale face, Chad smiled ruefully. “Ok, let’s go in!”
Rosemary sighed, wondering if she had gone too far.
Chad took two steps and stopped and said, “I’m going on a business trip tomorrow for about a week.” Then he turned and left.
Well…
Rosemary didn’t know what he meant by that, but at least she was safe for a few nights.
“Rosemary, what are you doing here and not in?” Andrew Harris approached and asked.
“Dad!” Rosemary grabbed Andrew Harris’s arm and said, “How are you doing?”
Andrew patted her arm and smiled gently. “I’m fine, you don’t have to worry about me!”
Looking at Rosemary’s pale skin, Andrew Harris could see right through it even though her face was covered with a layer of foundation and blush.
“Rosemary, are you having a hard time at The Grant’s? Why were you so pale?” There was worry in his eyes.
Andrew Harris now regretted that he agreed to marry Rosemary into The Grant family. He had expected Wilson Grant to wake up when she was married to him, but in this case, that was not going to happen.
“Dad, I’m fine. I just caught a cold these days, so my skin is a little pale.” Rosemary said, resting her head on Andrew Harris’s shoulder.
“All I want is for you to be okay, so I won’t be sorry to your mom.” He said, his face indulgent as he touched her head.
Christine, please keep Rosemary safe and happy.
Andrew Harris thought to himself.
Laurie had just come from Daisy’s to talk to Andrew Harris and was annoyed to see them laughing and talking.
“Rosemary, today is all about your sister’s engagement, and it’s all about the bigwigs. Is that appropriate to lean on your father like that?” Laurie scowled.
Rosemary stood up straight, saw Laurie’s strange face, and said faintly, “Laurie, is it not proper for a daughter to play pettish before her father? No wonder Daisy was taught so... well by you.”
Laurie was so upset that she tried to grab Rosemary when Andrew Harris said, “Laurie, it’s Daisy’s engagement party. Watch your manners.”
“I…”
Laurie looked at Andrew Harris. She wanted to say something, but she didn’t. She just left angrily.
Laurie was furious. She wanted to be angry but then remembered that today was Daisy’s engagement party. That look was really funny.
“Dad, I’m gonna go say hi to my friends, and I’ll catch up with you later.”
