Come on Daddy!

Chapter 60 Stolen Happiness

Sophie was biting her lips as her body started to tremble, "Grandma, you are always biased.”

"History always repeats itself. Nobody could guarantee that he will never do that again. I just don't want to see you repeat your sister's mistake.” Grandma was giving solemn advice as she sighed emotionally.

Grandma's words were right on the mark. Rose had no confidence about her future… after all, this was stolen happiness.

As long as Rose was still single, Sky would always have his opportunity.

The best way to resolve this right now was to get Rose into marriage before Sky could discover the truth. It didn't matter who the groom would be.

She couldn't stand Rose appearing in front of her anymore, especially hearing Sky's name from her mouth.

Her husband would always belong to her completely. He was hers alone.

"I will make sure that I'm happy, grandma, you don't have to worry about this. As for sister, you should introduce a good candidate for her, so that she will not always be lonely.” Sophie changed the topic and continued, "Grandma, I will look forward to you finding a good guy for sister.”

"I will choose the man carefully this time.” Grandma held Rose's hands while saying, "Rose, leave this to me.”

"Grandma, I always listen to you. You can do anything as long as you are happy.” Rose held grandma's hand affectionately and her eyes were full of gratitude towards her. "I will try my best to be happy so that you won't worry too much about me.”

"Alright, you are always the best granddaughter.” Grandma felt relieved at her words, "Let's go, I'm hungry.”

Grandma didn't utter a single word after this as she let Rose helped her on the way to the dining room.

Chandler, Joy and Sophie remained in the living room as they stared at the two presents on the table, feeling a little distressed. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

"Dad, mum, you have to hurry up in finding the guy, otherwise if grandma starts to arrange blind dates for her, then it will be a shame.” Sophie tugged at Joy's arms, "We can't let her be so arrogant.”

"You can be rest assured, we will arrange for it.” Joy and Chandler exchanged a glance as she took in a deep breath, "From now on, we have to make sure she thinks that we have accepted her, if not she won't be so good to listen to our words.”

"Mum, I will listen to you no matter what.” Sophie did not deny her mother's suggestions. She knew that in order to take Rose down, she had to pay some price.

Joy opened the gift box, and inside it lied a peacock-shaped brooch, which was very beautiful.

Chandler opened his gift box too and found a tie inside. Its design and colour suited middle-aged men like him, and wearing it could showcase his maturity and generosity.

The three of them got up and entered the dining room. When Joy had taken her seat, she flashed a smile towards Rose, "Rose, we have seen your present, and we love it very much. Thanks for putting us in your heart.”

Joy's change in attitude had shocked grandma slightly, but she immediately smiled, "This is how a mother should look like.”

"Mum, you don't have to be so polite, we are family after all.” Rose was very forgiving too as she didn't find fault at them for what had happened in the past. "I am your daughter after all.”

"Yes, you are right,” Joy nodded, "I used to have a bad attitude and it was because something was bothering me all along.”

"Rose, please forgive mum and me, we will change our ways.” Chandler had softened his stance as he showed his fatherly side.

"How could I blame you? You have given me my life, that was something to be forever grateful of.” Rose looked like she was "touched” as a moist film developed on her eyes, "You don't have to mention it, I understand everything.”

Rose was actually feeling awful and disgusted while spouting this.

She was astonished at herself for being able to spout such nonsense naturally.

"It's good that we have talked things out, a family should always be happy together.” This was what grandma always wanted to see. This was how a family should look like.

Grandma and Rose had been enjoying themselves during this meal, but Joy, Chandler and Sophie were still upset deep in their hearts, but they had to put on a good façade for the time being.

After dinner, Rose accompanied grandma to take a walk to help with her digestion, before helping her to wash up and prepare for sleep.

When she was upstairs again, it was already nine thirty. She was intercepted by Sophie suddenly when she reached the second floor.

"Rose Linder, I need to talk to you.” Sophie directly called out her full name.

"Grandma is not around, so we don't have to pretend anymore. It was so tiring anyway.” Rose stood by the door while looking at her sarcastically.

"I feel the same.” Sophie stood opposite her and what separated them was just a narrow corridor.

"Speak up. If there's nothing else I want to go to sleep.” Rose let out a yawn.

"Rose Linder, let me warn you, don't ever think of seducing Sky, your struggles will always be useless. He loves me now, and I'm his wife. You are nothing!” Sophie warned her in a serious tone because she had almost reached her limit.

"What? You are already so restless when I said that he had helped me a little?” Rose retorted with disdain, "Sophie Linder, let me warn you too, what you have taken away from me I will take it back again with double the suffering for you.”

"You dare to do that!” Sophie exclaimed, looking visibly shaken.

"Why would I not do that? Since the day you had snatched him away from me, you should know that one day he will no longer belong to you.” Rose was really cruel, "Sophie, I'm back now, you should wake up from your delusions!”

"And besides, I don't even need to seduce him, he's the one who had volunteered to help me in that crowded lift.” The curve at the corner of her lips gradually deepened.

"Impossible! He won't even look at you!”

"You are right, he won't look at me for just once… he wants to eye me more than once, hehe, don't you know that men are always putting on a fake front and couldn't be trusted?”

Her deprecating laugh that drifted into Sophie's ears had caused a headache, "Enough! Rose Linder, I don't believe you. You better not be too smug, I will let you be gone from this place.”

"Oh… is that so, I look forward to it.” Rose arched her eyebrows and replied, "I want to sleep now, please get as far away from me as possible.”

Rose didn't want to talk nonsense with her, so she pulled open the door to her room.

"Rose, wait.” She stopped her in her tracks.

At this moment, a voice could be heard downstairs, "Miss Sophie, Mr. Tanner has come to pick you up.”

"Alright, let him come up here.” Sophie crossed her arms in front of her chest, as if she could finally claim victory over Rose as long as Sky was here.

After a while, Sky went upstairs, but he slowed down his pace when he saw Sophie and Rose standing opposite each other in a confrontation. His gaze swept over both of them before he quickened his pace and came to Sophie's side.

"Let's go.” Sky held Sophie's hand naturally.

"Sky, did you buy me any present this time?” Sophie leaned intimately against him while locking her fingers with his.

"Of course, I would never forget that.” Sky said in a soft tone. "I'll show you at home.”

"Did you buy anything for sister?” Sophie asked with anticipation.

"There's no need for that.” Sky replied coldly.

"We are family in the end, why not I give sister the present that you planned to give me?” Sophie asked Sky ambiguously. Nobody knew what she was getting at.
