Chapter 024 A dream all too Real
Rosemary didn’t know how long she had cried. She saw her head still resting on Chad Grant’s shoulder and sat up apologetically, “I’m sorry to get all your clothes dirty.”
Chad Grant saw her in a much better mood and knew she had figured it out. He gave her a thoughtful smile. “Then do what I tell you. Okay?”
Rosemary glared at him, turned her head outside and refused to speak to him.
Seeing she was angry, Chad Grant curled his lips and said, “At least I gave you my shoulder just now. You can’t just forget about it.”
Rosemary was still looking out and not talking to him.
Chad Grant pulled into the house. Rosemary got out of the car and saw the living room lights were on. She panicked, but eventually went in with her bag.
“Mom!”
Marian looked at Rosemary and raised her eyebrows. “Why did you leave early today?”
Rosemary knew she would be laughed at for leaving early today.
“I left early because I wasn’t feeling well.” Rosemary whispered.
Marian looked at Rosemary as if she could see right through her. She said coldly, “If you are really unwell, why are you back so late?”
Chad Grant had just stepped through the front door when he heard Marian questioning Rosemary.
“Marian, she did have a headache halfway through, and I took her to the doctor, and that’s why she’s late.” Chad Grant explained dryly.
“Now that Chad testified on your behalf, we can forget about it.”
With that, Marian got up from the couch and said coldly to Rosemary, “You need to learn more about the rules of the house.” Then she went upstairs.
Chad Grant took a look at Rosemary and went upstairs, too.
Rosemary stood in the empty living room and frowned a little, then turned and went to the bedroom.
It was late, but the lights were still bright outside. Looking at the lights outside the room, Rosemary also felt better.
Knock…
“Here’s your milk, Madam.”
Rosemary took the milk and smiled at the maid, then closed the door, turned to sit on the bed to drink the milk and went to bed.
After drinking the milk, Rosemary lay on the bed and a heavy tiredness swept in. Soon she fell into sweet dreams.
A pair of big hands moving around Rosemary’s delicate and smooth body. Cold lips ran across her neck, and strange hands made waves inside her.
“Hmm…”
Rosemary had a hoarse throat. She gulped and tried to keep her eyes open, but she couldn’t.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Sleeping on the bed, her hands scratched wildly. In her hunger and thirst, the cold tongue slipped into her mouth and took her breath away.
…
Rosemary opened her eyes slowly in the morning. She blushed as she remembered her dream last night. She didn’t even know why she was having that dream.
“…”
Rosemary covered her head and rushed to the bathroom, picking up the basin of water and pouring it on her face.
Rosemary looked up at herself in the mirror and saw a hickey on her neck. Thinking it was a mosquito bite, she simply applied some ointment and got up.
Tomorrow was the day of school, and she had to talk about it today.
Rosemary changed her clothes, put on a little makeup, and went downstairs.
“Good morning!”
“Good morning!”
“Morning!”
Darren Grant was sitting on his couch watching today’s financial news. Rosemary stepped forward and gently said, “Good morning!”
Darren Grant looked up at Rosemary and said, “Morning.” Then he looked down at his newspaper again.
Rosemary sat down not far from Darren Grant and looked at him, her lips moving slightly as she tried to speak.
Darren Grant suddenly put down his newspaper, looked at Rosemary and asked gently, “Is there something wrong?”
“I want to go to school. I have six months to graduate. I hope you can agree with me to finish this half year’s study.” Rosemary said in a breath. Her hands were clasped tightly. She was worried that Darren Grant wouldn’t let her go to school.
Darren Grant sighed a little and said simply, “We weren’t going to let you go back to school, but your grandmother saw that you didn’t have much to do around the house, so she asked us to let you go and finish your education.”
Rosemary heard Darren Grant tell her to go to school, she smiled happily and said, “Thanks, Dad.”
“Rosemary, you are now The Grant family’s daughter-in-law, and everything you do out there represents The Grant family. So be careful out there and don’t let people talk about you.”
Rosemary was upset to hear Darren Grant say this. But she finally decided that as long as she kept her distance from them, she would be all right.
“Got it.”
“All right. Let’s have breakfast!” Darren Grant stood up and walked to the table.
“Good morning, dad. Good morning, Rosemary.” Chad Grant walked in with a big smile on his face.
See that Marian was not there, Chad Grant turned to Darren Grant and asked, “Dad, why didn’t Marian come down to have breakfast today?”
“She went to bed late last night, and there was nothing important at work today, so I asked her to come late.”
“I see.” Chad Grant didn’t ask any more questions. He just looked down and ate what was in his bowl.
“All right, I’m full. I gotta go.”
Darren Grant wiped his mouth with a napkin, moved his stool and walked out the door. After a few steps, he came back, pulled a card out of his bag and handed it to Rosemary.
“Here is your pocket money. You’re going to school tomorrow. Today you can see what you want to buy.”
Rosemary looked up and said, “I have my own money and I don’t have anything to buy.” She said, handing the card to Darren Grant.
Darren Grant scowled, “For better or worse, you are now one of the the Grant family. Does our daughter-in-law have to ask her parents for money?” Then he walked out the door.
Chad Grant smiled cheekily at the card on the table. “If you don’t want it, I’ll take it for you.” With that, he reached for the card on the table.
Rosemary took the card into her hand, glared at him, and said, “No way. Even if I didn’t want it, I can’t give it to you.”
Chad Grant was amused to see her nervous. He suddenly realized that his home was no longer so boring.
Rosemary quickly put away the card on her desk and went upstairs without looking at Chad Grant.
Thinking that she would be bored at home, she decided to go to the bookstore and buy some books she liked.
