NovelEnglishChapter 566 Two months had passed since their last visit, and the mangoes in Sienna Villa had indeed ripened.
Rosie had been craving them for a while. She loved standing under the tree, tilting her head back to count the fruits one by one.

Beatrice, who always indulged her, immediately had someone bring over a ladder and made sure there were people to support her as she climbed. "Be careful," Beatrice said, standing nearby with a furrowed brow. "Don't go too fast. Yes, just pick the one at the bottom." It was true Beatrice doted on Rosie, but so was her concern for her at that moment. Only when Rosie successfully picked a mango and climbed down did Beatrice finally let out a sigh of relief.
As soon as Rosie climbed down the ladder, she didn't even wait to steady herself before running over, clutching her hard-earned prize.
"Mommy, this is for you!" Her face was glistening with sweat, but her smile was radiant. She fixed her gaze intently on Noelle.
Noelle quickly reached out to take the mango. "Thank you." "I'm going to pick one for Grandma, too!" After saying that, Rosie turned and ran back to the mango tree.
Still worried, Beatrice said, "No, Rosie. You don't have to pick one for me." "No! I want to pick one for Grandma!" Unable to stop her, Beatrice turned to the household staff. "Don't just stand there! Hurry over there and make sure she doesn't fall!" Noelle couldn't help but laugh at how anxious Beatrice was. Then, she said in a relaxed manner, "Don't worry. The tree isn't that tall, and there's a mat underneath. Plus, there are so many people around. So, she won't fall." Beatrice shot her a reproachful look. "If she really falls, it'll be too late. You're really too laid-back as a mother." Noelle simply smiled and said nothing.
After a pause, Beatrice asked, "Why did you suddenly cut your hair short?" Noelle sighed helplessly and said, "Seline bought Rosie a toy chemistry set, and while I was playing with her, the alcohol burner accidentally singed my hair. So, I had no choice but to cut it." Her tone was one of calm as she recounted the story. Even so, Beatrice's eyes widened in alarm.

After that, she would keep her eye on the stove every tI cooked, afraid something might happen again." Beatrice frowned. "It's really not ideal for just the two of you to live alone. If something happens, there's no one around to help. Honestly, you were doing just fine living here before-" "It was just an accident. And it was a toy, so it wasn't dangerous. It was my own fault for not handling it properly." Noelle's tone was gentle, but her attitude was firm. Clearly, she had no intention of revisiting the idea of moving back.
Just then, Rosie returned with another mango. "Grandma, this is for you." "Thank you, sweetheart." Beatrice crouched down and used a
handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Rosie's face. "Now that we've picked the mangoes let's go inside. It's too hot but here. How about I have someone make you a mango cake?"
Rosie didn't answer immediately. Instead, she glanced at dat Noelle fon approval Only after Noelle said yes did she nod excitedly at Beatrice. Beatrice took Rosie's hand and was about to head inside when a housekeeper cto announce that a guest had arrived.
Beatrice couldn't help but frown.
