Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife

Chapter 344: Chapter 344

Before Rosemary could even respond, Serena chimed in, "If you’re bothered by me being the adopted daughter, I can clear that up in front of our classmates. Make it crystal clear that you’re the real Collins family princess, and I’m just a charity case. I won’t let my vanity hurt you anymore."

Rosemary stayed silent.

"Sis, can you give me one last chance? Just one more, okay?" Serena pleaded, tugging at Rosemary’s sleeve. "Can we be good sisters again and forget all the past unpleasantness?"

Rosemary noticed that this time, Serena’s eyes weren’t filled with the usual scheming and cunning. Instead, they were filled with sincerity and pleading. She was probably scared of losing everything she had, hence her desperation.

"Sis, I’m begging you!" Serena tried to kneel, but Rosemary stopped her with a foot, saying coldly, "Some issues can’t be settled by getting on your knees."

"What do you want me to do then?" Serena asked earnestly. "Bring you breakfast every day? Lunch? Hang out with you after school, save you a seat in the cafeteria? Help you pick up packages? Give you massages?"

No need to go overboard.

"Sis, you name it. Anything you want me to do, I promise I’ll do it!" Serena seemed to have made a big decision.

"We’ll see," Rosemary replied noncommittally, and she left early with Myrna.

Serena was left alone, unsure of what Rosemary’s vague response meant. Was she forgiven? Not forgiven? Or intended to watch her actions?

Serena turned to Chasel for help as Rosemary left. "Chasel."

But Chasel was just as indifferent: "You should go back."

He didn’t explicitly offer her a chance either.

"Chasel, don’t go. Talk to Rosemary for me. I really realize my mistake." Serena followed Chasel like a pitiful sidekick.

When they got to a nearby restaurant, Chasel, Myrna, and Rosemary went in first. Serena followed them in after settling the cab fare.

The waiter looked curiously at the somewhat disheveled young lady and politely asked, "Excuse me, are you here alone or with the three who just walked in?"

"With them." Serena followed them upstairs. When they went into a private room, she didn’t dare to enter, waiting outside instead.

Inside the room, Chasel glanced at Rosemary and gently asked, "How do you plan to handle this?"

"Chasel, how do you think I should handle this?" Rosemary’s gaze was pressuring.

Myrna couldn’t help but sigh. Rosemary was indeed the real daughter of the Collins family. Her aura was just as powerful, if not more so.

"I’ll handle it according to your wishes." Chasel poured her a glass of lemon water, then poured one for Myrna too. He seemed to have gotten used to her powerful presence.

"I suggest we keep an eye on her and see how she behaves next," Myrna said, sipping on her lemonade. "If she doesn’t show any signs of remorse in the coming days, or if she’s up to no good behind our backs, we’ll let your parents know and they can kick her out. But if she truly realizes her mistake, Rose, should we give her another shot?"

"So, you mean we should make more friends than enemies?" Rosemary glanced at them, seemingly grasping their point.

Myrna: "I’m just throwing it out there. After all, your parents have quite a soft spot for her. Your brothers have also put a lot of effort into dealing with her. If we suddenly kick her out, your parents might find it hard to adjust. They’ve been together for eighteen years. But it’s just a suggestion; the ball’s in your court."

Chasel: "Rose, you don’t have to worry about anyone else’s feelings. I’ve got your back, no matter what you want to do, even if you want to kick her out of the Collins family."

Myrna: "True that, I’m with you, too. If you want her gone, she’s got to go."

Rosemary tapped her finger against her cup, falling silent for a moment. "Alright, we’ll see how she behaves next."

Having Serena in the house didn’t really bother her. Over the past couple of months, Serena had been a handful, but she never got anything good out of Rosemary.

If it came down to dealing with Serena, Rosemary could do it in a snap. She was mainly concerned about the feelings of her family members.

They seemed to have quite a soft spot for Serena.

"One more thing," Chasel suddenly piped up.

Rosemary and Myrna both turned their attention to him.

"I’m sorry for what Serena said earlier," Chasel apologized. "About the travel destinations. Whenever you have time, wherever you want to go, we’re all in. We can make new memories, just us, as a family."

Rosemary’s gaze softened.

When Serena mentioned their childhood and everything Chasel had done for her, Rosemary felt a pang of envy. She never experienced that kind of familial warmth growing up. Attlee and Olga never showed her an ounce of love.

Even though Grannie Grace adored her, it was not the same as being pampered by her brothers.

She had never been spoiled by her brothers growing up.

Chasel seemed to understand what she was thinking, but before he could say anything comforting, Myrna beat him to it. She draped her arm around Rosemary’s shoulders, patting her consolingly. "Don’t worry. From now on, I’ll spoil you rotten. Whatever you want to do, whatever you want, I’ll make it happen."

Rosemary cracked a smile and said, "I’m content with what I have now."

She might not have any deep memories from the past, but the genuine love and care from her family were palpable.

Now she had Myrna as well. That was more than enough.

Chasel: "Rose, remember, you always have more say in this house than Serena. If you need anything, everyone would choose you over her, no questions asked. Of course, the choice might be painful, but that’s just how it is. We can handle that pain. You’re a part of this family; no one has the right to threaten your place here, not even Serena. You’re more deserving of our love and care than she is. Remember, we’re family. Next time you see me, don’t be a stranger. If you need anything, I’m here for you."
