NovelEnglishChapter 513 Rosie adapted well to the new environment. At first, she was a little reserved around Beatrice. But after a few days together, her smiles grew more frequent, and whenever she saw Beatrice, she would call her "Grandma" without prompting.
Beatrice bought her plenty of toys. Although Rosie accepted them all, her favorite was still the little lion plushie. She never let it leave her side, even sleeping with it at night.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNoelle had once asked if she realized this wasn't her original lion plushie, and Rosie said she knew. She liked the old one, too, but that didn't change how much she liked the new one.
Such simple words carried a deeper meaning that resonated with Noelle. But before she could process it, a voice suddenly cfrom outside, "Mr. Freeman is back." Noelle's expression froze instantly.
Rosie, on the other hand, asked her curiously, "Mommy, who's Mr. Freeman?" Noelle was about to explain when the man in question stepped inside, and he wasn't alone. Next to him stood a woman Noelle had never seen before.
It wasn't the one she'd bumped into at the grocery store, but she wasn't surprised. After all, Hendrix was never short on female company.
The expression of curiosity immediately vanished from Rosie's face the moment she saw Hendrix. Then, she quickly ran to hide behind Noelle.
Just then, Beatrice cdown from the stairs.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHendrix finally shifted his gaze away from Noelle and greeted Beatrice, "Hey, Mom." The woman beside Hendrix quickly walked over to Beatrice and introduced herself with a smile, "Hello, Mrs. Freeman. I'm Angela Rhett." Beatrice nodded at her. "Hello, and welcome." "I've been meaning to visit you, but Hendrix said you value your peace, so I didn't want to intrude," Angela said. "It's fine. Feel free to visit whenever you have the time," Beatrice replied. Then, as if remembering something, she turned toward Noelle. "Oh, letintroduce you. This is Noelle Swanson. You've probably heard about her." "Yes, of course," Angela said, nodding. She smiled at Noelle. "Hello, Ms. Swanson." "Hello," Noelle responded, forcing a polite smile.
Truthfully, this situation made her deeply uncomfortable. It was only natural for Hendrix to bring his new girlfriend to meet Beatrice, but what was not natural was Noelle's presence here. en Yet, no one else realized this. They all carried on as if everything were perfectly normal, while she alone felt painfully out of place.
Noelle couldn't help but clutch the hem of her top. Then, when the opportunity arose, she said, "Mrs. yarose, shee n Freeman, Rosie hasn't been out for a few days, and Seline keeps saying she wants to see her. So, I was thinking of taking her out." "Right now? But I had the cook prepare sof Rosie's favorite food for tonight."
"It's fine. She had snacks this afternoon and won't be hungry m anytsoon. You all go ahead and enjoy dinner without us, as we may not be back in tfor it." As Noelle spoke, she even smiled and nodded at Angela before taking Rosie's hand.
Rosie didn't forget to turn back and bade Beatrice goodbye, though she didn't spare Hendrix a single glance.
