Chapter 009 Marry into The Grant Family 9
Daisy turned to Andrew Harris and said lovingly, “Dad, I’m just playing with my sister!”
Rosemary smiled at Andrew Harris and tacitly replied, “Yes, Dad, I’m going back to my room to rest.”
“Rosemary!” Andrew Harris stopped Rosemary. He walked up and said, “You’re going to The Grant family tomorrow. Go buy some clothes. All this time you can buy things as much as you like, it’s your dowry!”
“No, dad. We’re having a tough time financially. I don’t need anything!”
“That’s what you deserve! And…” Andrew Harris was about to say something, but he stopped himself and looked at Rosemary with a loving look on his face.
Rosemary nodded and said softly, “Well, I’ll go out and see what I can buy and come back later!”
Andrew Harris said “Okay”, looked at Rosemary’s back, sighed, and went upstairs helplessly.
Beep…
Rosemary walked out the door. It might be hard for her to hang out with her best friends, as she was about to marry into The Grant family and take care of her vegetative husband.
The call was soon picked up by a cheerful voice.
“Rosemary, why are you calling me today? How rare is that?” Carina quipped.
Carina was Rosemary’s best friend in junior and high school. The two of them are on good terms. Rosemary went to art school after college, and Carina went to fashion design.
Hearing her teasing tone, Rosemary felt a surge of warmth. Since her mother died, her father and Carina were the only people in the world she felt warm to.
Rosemary decided not to think about anything today. She just wanted to have a crazy day with her friend.
“Come on. I’m really busy these days. Well, I called you right after I got out of school. Isn’t that enough?”
Rosemary chuckled into the phone.
Carina was so happy to hear Rosemary say that.
“One o’clock, see you at the usual place!”
“Okay!”
Rosemary hung up the phone, feeling a little relieved.
It was a nice day and the sun was shining brightly. Pedestrians were hurrying to and from the streets, while some couples were cuddling arm in arm.
Rosemary got on the bus and sat down by the window. As she watched the scene flash through the window, her mind slowly recalled the good old days in high school.
If only time could stop at that moment! What a peaceful time that was!
“Dear passengers, the Sunny Road is here, please get ready for the passengers getting off…” The graceful voice of the announcer rang out from the bus.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“Wait! I’m getting off here.”
Rosemary exhaled softly as she got off the bus. “I almost missed my stop.”
“Rosemary!” A beautiful shadow flew over. Carina jumped up and hugged Rosemary.
“Carina, I missed you so much! You just keep getting prettier and prettier. I hardly recognized you.”
“Well, thank you. You are much prettier.”
The two of them talked and Rosemary forgot all about her unhappiness.
“Let’s go Shopping today. I haven’t hung out with you in a long time.” Carina took Rosemary’s hand and walked toward the pedestrian mall.
“Okay!”
“Shopping is gone!”
Rosemary was demure, and Carina was bubbly. Their classmates used to wonder how two people with totally different personalities could become such good friends.
…
“Well, I’m exhausted.” Carina went to the lounge, threw her things away and threw herself on the sofa.
“Rosemary, why didn’t we feel so tired after shopping before? Now after shopping a while I feel like my legs are out of control.”
Rosemary looked at her, frowned, and gently said, “Miss, is it that exaggerated?”
“Look, most of what we bought today was yours. Why did you complain about being tired before I did?” Rosemary snapped.
Hearing her friend’s words, Carina’s smile deepened.
“Well, dear Rosemary. Thank you for your hard work today.”
