Rosalie would cover her ears as her entire body shook. She knew that if she opened the door, her


    aunt might beat her up.

    Although her aunt was fierce to her and would scold her when she was sober, thetter seldomid


    a finger on her. However, it was a different matter when her aunt was drunk and lost all senses.


    After getting beaten up twice, Rosalie made it a point to lock herself up in her room each time her


    aunt got drunk. After screaming at her incessantly and finally running out of steam, her aunt would


    go back to her room and fall asleep, and Rosalie would be safe.


    That was a very dark period in her life. She frequently witnessed her aunt bringing different men


    home. Each time that happened, the only thing she could do was to hide in her room and cover her


    ears.


    Subsequently, her aunt abandoned her at the entrance of SK


    Enterprise’s office, telling her, “Rose, wait here for me. I’lle here and fetch you in a while.”


    Rosalie ended up waiting for her for two days, during which she kept pacing back and forth at the


    entrance of SK Enterprise’s office. building. She eventually couldn’t withstand it any longer and


    fainted.


    When she woke up, she saw a kind face looking down at her.


    She had been through some rather tough times, but after Reba took her in, her life took a turn


    for the better. The Spencers‘ household was filled with care and concern, so much so that the


    darkest days in her childhood became nothing but a faint memory. Her misfortune and blessings


    were indeed deeply intertwined with each other.


    Reba, her heart aching, said, “How was it all right? You silly girl, always sharing the good and


    keeping the bad to yourself! When I


    found


    you back then, you were but skin and bones, and with bruises all over your body. It was obvious


    you had suffered much. The more I think about it, the more upset I get.”


    “Grandma, I’m doing fine right now, aren’t I? Let’s not bring up those unhappy memories, all right?”


    No matter what came her way, Rosalie never failed to give Grandma a smile, not wishing to burden


    the old woman with her troubles.


    To Reba, she was a bundle of sunshine. Over the years, Reba” felt thankful that she chose


    to adopt Rosalie.


    Not only did she gain a wonderful granddaughter, but she even found an excellent wife for


    Theodore. Although that wasn’t her original intention, she realized over the years that Rosalie would


    certainly make a good wife.


    It was a pity that Theodore was blind in the matters of love, just like his father, who didn’t know how


    to treasure what he had.


    “All right, let’s not talk about it anymore.”


    Reba patted the back of Rosalie’s hand kindly.


    “Grandma.”


    A voice came from the entrance, and Reba looked up to see Theodore walking in.


    The moment he entered and saw Rosalie there, he stopped in his tracks and stared at her for a few


    whole seconds.


    Reba saw the smile freeze on Theodore’s face.


    “Why are you here?” Reba said unceremoniously to Theodore, clearly not weing him here.


    Those who had no clue might even think that he was a random passer -by, and not her grandson.


    Theodore had long been used to his grandmother’s attitude, knowing. that she probably reserved all


    of her kindness for Rose.


    He walked up to her and said, “Grandma, I’m here to see you and tell you something.”


    Theodore nced at Rosalie once more, and hesitated for a moment. They exchanged nces,


    and the air around them seemed to stand


    still for a few seconds.


    “What is it?” Reba rolled her eyes. “You’re so troublesome, honestly.”


    Theodore furrowed his brows. “Grandma, how am I troublesome? I don’t evene here often.”
