“I think your kitchen utensils don’t welcome me here, Sir Ares. It seems like I shouldn’t be here often in the future!” After some time, Rose finally raised her little head.Jay was filled with laughter. Rose had the expression of ‘I’m not going to cook ever again’ written all over her face!“Let me do it.” Jay walked over and took the flour from her hand. Then, he started to get busy.Rose, who was bored, started chattering endlessly. “You can cook, Sir Ares?“It doesn’t make sense. My friends told me that a man who can cook is a man who can’t make money.“But it seems like you’re only able to cook basic European cuisine. To be frank with you, European cuisine doesn’t always match everyone’s palate. Furthermore, constantly eating them will make you bloat like a balloon…”It was because she disliked European cuisine!Jay was quickly frying up some bacon and eggs while she babbled away.Rose saw the golden brown bacon and licked her lips.“Can I eat it?” Rose asked somewhat pit
“You were dragged out of the emergency room yesterday. Don’t you consider yourself a patient?”Rose’s mouth widened in shock.“I went to the emergency room last night? Why don’t I remember this?”“You were blackout drunk.” Jay closed his book, his face becoming cold and stern. “Women who come from good families won’t get blackout drunk outside. You’ve gotten a bad influence from Josephine.”Rose opened her mouth in bewilderment and stuttered, “I was the bad influence!”“You still have the nerve to utter those words out loud?”Rose bowed her head.When Josephine was mentioned, Rose became incessantly concerned. “By the way… Is Josie okay?”Jay replied, “In which aspect?”Rose, “...”“She didn’t go to the emergency room, right?”“She’s fine.”Rose was not at ease. Hence, she stood up from the swing. “I’d better go ask her.”She entered the house and dialed Josephine’s phone.After waiting for a long time, Josephine finally answered.“I’m sorry, Rose. Your trust limit in
When Rose got dressed and came out, Jay had already brought out the car.“I’m heading to the company, so I’ll take you on the way there.”He was occupied with starting the engine while talking, so he naturally did not notice the puzzled look on Rose’s face.When she opened the door to the back seat, she heard Jay mutter, “Sit in the front and talk to me.”Rose could not help but wonder. A person who barely spoke had taken the initiative to find someone to chat with him. Perhaps there was something wrong with his brain.However, she obeyed him and sat in the front seat with him.“Can you drive?” Jay raised his gaze and looked at her.Rose hesitated for quite some time before shaking her head. “No.”Angeline could drive, but Rose could not!“I’ll teach you,” Jay stated.Rose’s gaze fell on his car key, and she realized that it was a new car. Although the Maserati’s body was slightly smaller, the interior was still luxurious and the appearance was streamlined.It was a car that
Josephine took off the instrument in an exasperated manner. When she saw Rose, she pulled it over her eyes once more. She asked angrily, “Why are you here?”Rose sat beside her and sighed quietly.“What’s gotten into you, Josie? You must at least give me a reason for why you’re angry at me.”Josephine grabbed the mask open again and said to the beautician, “You may leave for now.”The staff got up and left.Rose noticed how swollen Josephine’s eyes were that she could no longer keep them open. She immediately felt a stab in her heart.How long would it take for someone to cry to become like this?“Didn’t you say that nothing’s going on between you and Zayne, Rose Loyle?”“Of course!” Rose nodded.Josephine was so angry that she lifted the pillow and threw it over. “You’re a liar. When you entered the emergency room yesterday, Zayne rushed over to see you. He was so worried about you that I could tell he cares about you even if I’m an idiot!”Rose was dumbfounded.Why did Zay
Rose did not speak for a long time…Starting from her life experience, the mysterious car accident, secrets in the attic… She had no idea where to begin…“Josephine, I’m not Rose Loyle!” Consequently, she struggled to share the secrets that she had kept for so many years.Josephine looked at her in surprise. “What do you mean?”“You’re not Rose Loyle? Then who are you?”Rose hesitated for a moment. Then, she continued with great difficulty, “I’m Angeline Severe.”Josephine’s pupils dilated in shock. “What did you just say?” She was somewhat in disbelief.She scanned Rose from top to bottom several times before asking curiously, “But you’re obviously Rose Loyle?”Rose shook her head. “I’m in Rose Loyle’s body, but it’s Angeline Severe’s soul.”“Huh? Josephine exclaimed aloud.“Did you have plastic surgery?” Josephine could not think of any other reasons besides this.Rose shook her head again and said faintly, “Seven years ago, I woke up from a car accident and became Rose Lo
Josephine smacked her lips and said, “Did you know that your scarf made my brother’s eyes turn red with jealousy? I still remember his tone at the time when he said, ‘Angeline has never given me such a precious gift!’”Josephine mimicked Jay’s voice, making it sound so old-fashioned. It made the two of them laugh out loud!Once they finished laughing, Rose abruptly burst into tears.Those beautiful memories of her past life had now become scars in her heart.The amount of love she gave Jay was the same amount of harm Jay had caused her.Seeing Rose weeping inexplicably, she looked heavy as the rims of her eyes started shedding tears. It made her look all the more pitiful.“Why didn’t you tell my brother, Rose?” Josephine asked in a puzzled manner.Rose looked at her in shock… The grief in her eyes pierced through Josephine, making her intensely uneasy.“Are you hiding something you cannot speak of, Sister-in-law?”Rose stood up and turned her back to Josephine.Tears were str
The quarrel suddenly came to a halt!Josephine lay on the bed limply.Only an endless amount of pity remained for Rose.“If my brother truly treated you that way, then I'll never forgive him.” Josephine’s sense of justice was clamoring in her bones. “Rose, it must’ve been hard for you to love him for two whole lifetimes, huh?” Josephine could understand Rose’s grief.In Rose’s beautiful eyes, which was once filled with vitality, there was now nothing but stagnant water.“Loving him is truly the happiest thing I’ve ever done. It’s just that loving someone requires a specific amount of power, and mine is running out each day like an hourglass.“I can’t love him anymore, Josie. It’s too extravagant, and the price I need to pay is too heavy for me to bear…” Rose’s face appeared blank and lost.Josephine looked at Rose who was in pain and squeezed her hand distressedly. “Angeline, even though my brother's heinous in your opinion, there’s something I must tell you. My brother may no
Rose smiled sadly. “If I had the heart to expose him, then I wouldn’t be in so much pain and be so entangled in all of this.“Josie, I’d rather swallow up all of the grievances I feel than expose his true self. Firstly, it’s because he’s the father of my children. Secondly… I always thought that if I don’t expose him, then he’ll forever be that perfect Jaybie in my mind.”Josephine’s heart trembled as if tens of millions of ants were gnawing her heart, making her feel extreme pain. “Angeline, don't worry. This time, I’ll stand by your side and firmly support all your decisions.”“Thank you, Josie.”…“Haa!”There was a long and profound sigh!The two women squeezed on top of the single narrow bed and stared at each other.“I didn’t expect that the two of us would end up falling this way, Angeline.”Rose said, “Yeah. I love your brother, but your brother's after my life.”Josephine said, “I love your brother, and I’ve lost the most precious thing a woman could have because o
