Old Master Bell seemed to be extremely proud of Rosie's answer. His expression relaxed as the tone of his voice softened as well.
"Rosie, I heard about your incident a long time ago. I heard that you're helping out as an advisor in the military intelligence division. You're great at martial arts, and you're smarter than everyone else. You're really outstanding. It's a pity that your father lost you. This is his loss, and the Bell family's loss as well. Now that you're back, we're definitely happy to welcome you.
However, I wonder what are your plans for coming back this time around?"
Rosie started acting pitiful. She squeezed out a few tears and said wistfully." Grandfather, I don't have any other intentions. However, I'm all grown up now. When I see the other sisters uniting with their families, I start missing my own family a lot. That's why I want to return to my roots and reunite with my family. I met my biological father several years ago. I told him who I was with tears in my eyes, but he valued his personal benefits more and only wanted the Ares family to prepare dowry for me. He's a heartless man. Despite how much I value my familial relationships, I had no choice but to cut ties with him."
Old Master Bell nodded and said angrily," Your father is an animal. How dare he not recognize his own daughter? He's worse than farmstock."
While Rosie was chatting with Old Master Bell, Baby Robbie took the opportunity to scan the faces of the people in the Bell household.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
These people all had unfamiliar faces.
He was stupefied by the only familiar face that he spotted.
It was Hecate.
Baby Robbie was secretly shocked. Why was Hecate over here?
Rosie had high emotional and overall intelligence. Soon after, she managed to coax Old Master Bell and make him extremely happy. Old Master Bell chatted away happily with Rosie. He lowered his guard and started introducing Rosie to all her relatives in the room.
When it was Hecate's turn to be introduced, Old Master Bell said, "She's your cousin."
He did not announce her name and simply introduced her as Rosie's cousin.
However, Rosie sensed Baby Robbie's heated gaze on Hecate. She could not help but cast a few more stares at her.
Chills crept up Rosie's back when she looked at her.
Hecate exuded a calm aura. She seemed cold and rather distant. However, the distant air that she gave off made people develop the urge to approach her.
Rosie naturally thought of someone when she noticed Hecate's mysterious aura, and that was their late Sis Shirley.
Baby Robbie was extremely close to Sis Shirley. Hecate's facial features and aura reminded her of Sis Shirley. Rosie was worried that Baby Robbie was finding it hard to stop
obsessing over his past
retationships.
When Old Master Bell asked Rosie to stay back for a meal, she rejected his offer courteously and said, "Grandfather, there's still something that I need to do. I don't have the time to stay back for a meal today. I'll definitely come over to have a meal another day."
Old Master Bell did not put Rosie in a difficult situation. He simply nodded at Hecate and told her, "Send your cousin out."
Hecate walked over with a cold expression on her face. Rosie dragged Baby Robbie, who was in a daze, along with her, turned around, and left.
As they walked out of the villa, Rosie finally calmed down. She turned around and asked Hecate tentatively, "How old are you this year?"
"I'm 16 years old."
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
Hecate's bright gaze landed on Rosie as she asked, "Are you going to introduce a boy to me, Cousin?"
"What do you think about the little young master of the Ares family?" Rosie asked tentatively.
Baby Robbie coughed.
Rosie was pulling his leg. Luckily, he was in disguise. Otherwise, he would not be able to face Hecate.
Hecate did not look at Baby Robbie in disgust like she usually did. There was a look of hatred and jealousy on her face as she spoke to Rosie in a sarcastic tone," Cousin, not everyone can be like you. Not only are you a foster daughter of the Ares family, but you're also a daughter of the Bell family."
Her voice was filled with exasperation.
