Chapter 560 Sudden Appearance Eleanor's thoughts naturally drifted toward the unfinished embroidery restoration project in her study. The last tRose visited the Finch Manor, Eleanor had been impressed by her knowledge of embroidery patterns. With the need to repair her damaged evening gown, Eleanor found a convenient reason to visit Rose without appearing too forced or unnatural.
Satisfied with her plan, a smile crept onto Eleanor's face.
Meanwhile, someone else also had Rose on their mind. Nestled comfortably against Cyrus' chest, Lizzie had regained her composure. As she thought about her upcoming birthday, she spoke up.
"Cyrus, I want to wear something special for my birthday this year. I want us to create more unforgettable memories together." Cyrus, ever indulgent of Lizzie's wishes, responded without hesitation, "That won't be a problem. I will bring you the finest gowns from the most prestigious brands worldwide." Lizzie managed a grateful smile but let out a disappointed sigh. "Other brands are fine, but I've always loved K&K's designs. There's one designer with a truly unique style. It's just a shshe hasn't released anything new in a long time." Detecting the sorrow in her voice, Cyrus couldn't bear to see his wife disheartened. If the designer hadn't created anything new, he would simply commission her to do so.
"What's the designer's name?" he asked.
"Ms. Flora," Lizzie replied.

However, she noticed they weren't taking the usual route as they drove. Their destination appeared to be entirely different.
A guess formed in Rose's mind, but she remained silent. As the car veered further off the familiar path, her suspicions grew stronger.
A sense of longing welled up within her the closer they got to their destination. It reached its peak when they finally arrived, and she found herself standing before Oliver's gravestone.
"Grandpa, I've cto visit you," she murmured.
The night was dark, and the image of Oliver on the gravestone was barely visible.
However, Rose and Miles didn't need to see it. Their grandfather's face was forever etched in their memories-the warmth of his kind smile and loving gaze remained vibrant even amid the enveloping gloom.
For Rose, those inexplicable moments of connection with Oliver now made sense-it had always been the pull of their shared bloodline. He wasn't just a kind old man. He was her biological grandfather.
A hint of sadness crossed her eyes. The regret of not having reunited while Oliver was still alive weighed heavily on her.
Sensing her sorrow, Miles gently placed a hand on her head, his voice soft as he reassured her, "Grandpa knew you were his real granddaughter before he passed. He was aware his twas short even if that incident hadn't happened. "He was content, Rosie. In his final days, he got to hear you call him Grandpa. Your presence brought him solace, and he was grateful for that." Rose felt a wave of gratitude herself. She was thankful for the curious twists of fate that led her to Oliver-the unexpected meeting on her mother's birthday, the visit to the cake shop, and the coincidental trip to the park. These serendipitous moments gave her the chance to get to know him and call him Grandpa.
"Grandpa... have you met Mom over there?" she muttered to the gravestone. Oliver had dedicated his entire life to finding his daughter. If there truly was an afterlife, maybe they had finally reunited.
Rose lingered at the grave for a long time, speaking softly to Oliver's gravestone and sharing her thoughts and feelings. It wasn't until rain began to drizzle from the sky that Miles gently urged her to leave.
Unbeknownst to them, a figure dressed in black and carrying a matching umbrella approached the grave after they left. Shrouded by the darkness and standing perfectly still, one could hardly notice anyone was there at all. The person stood in silence, staring at the gravestone, lost in thought. Minutes and hours passed until finally, without a word, the figure turned and left as quietly as they had cas if they had never been there at all.
Meanwhile, back at the Young Estate, Rose and Miles returned hto find that Anastasia and Harriette had already arrived.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs Rose and Miles walked through the door, Harriette's eyes flickered With our le curiosity, yes hackered with subtle curiosity. She had seen them leave in the car before her, and even accounting for any potential delays. They should have arrived haround the stas she dia.
Yet, Harriette spent two whole hours waiting at the estate before they returned.
"Where have they been during those two hours?" she wondered, a hint of irritation surfacing within her. However, she quickly concealed her emotions beneath a veil of excitement.
The moment Rose and Miles stepped inside, Harriette jumped up from the couch with exaggerated enthusiasm.
She nearly dashed to greet them but managed to compose herself when she reached them. Grabbing Rose's hand affectionately, she adopted a teasing tone tinged with gentle reproach as she said, "Rosie, you're finally back! I've been waiting for you for ages." "You were waiting for me?" Rose asked, her surprise evident.
Harriette nodded vigorously. "Of course, who else would I be waiting for? You have no idea how much I wanted to talk at the banquet, but there was a sea of people around you. I couldn't even get close! "And then... you simply vanished. I couldn't find you anywhere." Rose thought back. Aside from the moment when Harriette had shielded her, she couldn't recall seeing her much at the event. But then again, with so many people around, perhaps she hadn't noticed. "You wanted to talk to me?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.
"What could Harriette possibly want to discuss with me?" she wondered.
Harriette smiled brightly. "Yeah. I wanted to congratulate you! But not for finding your biological father.
