Chapter 184: Sudden Appearance (2)
Even though Rose now felt so nervous, she endured it. She accepts Anthony Collins’ big warm hand with a smile adorning her face.
"I’m sorry I came late, Rose. But I’m so happy with both of you... Next time I’ll make up for it by taking you all to dinner as a family, including your mother-in-law...." Anthony Collins stops his gaze at his beautiful ex-wife. He couldn’t stop admiring how well-maintained his ex was now.
Though she is older than his new woman now, still that new one can’t compare to Doris. They both like the sky and earth.
Evan’s eyes darts at his father to tell him to stop talking and steals the show. He can feel there’s no sincerity in his father’s words.
The sudden appearance of Anthony Collins in the room immediately changed the room’s atmosphere to a slightly gloomy one. No more warm chatter. No smile or broad laugh is adorning the faces of people in the room. There was only tension until the supposedly intimate and relaxing lunch ended in such a short time. So fast that Rose didn’t even know what she had just eaten? She lost her appetite as Evan’s father sat across from her.
Not long after, all the family was back in the family room. Meanwhile, Oliver and the others take their leave. They have to go back to the office. So many things to do, especially the project of Rapid Realty.
Rose walked her friends to the front yard. She wanted to give them some short advice before she took a week off to enjoy her honeymoon.
"Oliver, please take care of our office! Call me if you need something important...." She stood before four handsome men opposite her. They all look so tall. Standing near them makes her look petite.
"Damn, Boss! Do you think I would dare to call you on your honeymoon? Your husband will silence me forever. Gee!!" Oliver felt a chill run down his spine at the thought of Evan Collins being angry with him. That man, not even talking, made him feel suffocated. What if he was openly mad at him? No! He wouldn’t dare to provoke Evan Collins.
