This floor was reserved as the dining area of the presidential suite among all the floors of restaurants in
the hotel.
A man sat at one of the dining tables. He did not look happy, but the girl beside him smiled brightly. She
was in a good mood.
With a smile, she ate the breakfast the man had prepared happily. They had planned to travel around
Sapphire City but suddenly changed their schedule and came to Haililand overnight.
They came on a private plane, so Ava was very excited. As for why they woke up so early, it was
already dawn when they arrived at the hotel last night, and they did not sleep for long. She was too
tired. So, she hugged Frank and took a nap before landing.
When Ava received Rose’s message yesterday, she was so shocked that her jaw dropped. She had no
choice but to tell Frank about such a big matter. So, she could only show the message to Frank.
In the end, Frank’s face darkened after reading the message. His expression was indescribable. He
was silent for a long time. This was the first time Ava had seen such an expression on Frank’s usually
gentle face.
After a moment of silence, Frank finally asked Ava if she wanted to go to Haililand.
Ava was very smart. She could guess that Frank wanted to speak to Rose in person. She agreed to go
without thinking twice. However, Frank told Ava not to tell Rose about their trip to Haililand.
To Ava, that was more like a spot check. She wondered how Rose would react when she saw her
brother in the hotel.
Time passed minute by minute. By the time the two of them finished their breakfast, Rose and Edward
were still nowhere to be seen. Ava’s mind was filled with what Rose and Edward might have been
doing last night. Last night could be considered Rose’s wedding night. Perhaps she was a little tired
and was catching up on sleep.
“Frank, why don’t we go back to our room first? Rose might still be sleeping. I’m a little sleepy. I woke
up too early in the morning. Take a nap with me.”
Ava’s thoughts were written on her face. Frank saw through her intention but did not expose it.
In the end, he got up and accompanied her back to her room. Back in her room, Ava lay down under
the blanket. She patted the side of the bed and asked seductively, “Frank, aren’t you coming up to have
a nap with me?”
Her voice was soft.
Frank had no intention of sleeping now. Rose’s sudden decision made Frank feel complicated. He did
not know if this girl had thought it through or if it was a hot-headed decision. He really wanted to ask.
He walked closer to the edge of the bed and rejected gently, taking care of Ava’s mood. “Baby Ava,
sleep first. I’ll be back soon.”
After saying that, he touched Ava’s forehead, afraid the little girl would be unhappy.
“Alright, I’ll take a nap then.” Ava would not force Frank to do anything. She was just afraid that Frank
would be impulsive.
While feeling complicated, Frank still stepped forward and sat by the bed. He touched Ava’s face
dotingly and said, “Go to sleep. I’ll go out for a while. I’ll be back in half an hour.”
Ava playfully pinched Frank’s facc. Then, she reached out and pulled him toward her. She kissed his
cheek and comforted him. “Alright, bye. Don’t be mad.”,
“Okay.” Frank agreed to Ava’s request not to be mad at them.
Looking at Frank leaving, Ava seemed to understand why Frank was unhappy. He must have been
reluctant to part with his sister. Rose had already been legally married to Edward, so she might move in
with Edward when they returned to Athana.
With that, the Roberts family would be less merrier. For the siblings who had been living under the
same roof day and night, Frank could not bear to part with her. It was just that Frank did not speak
much and did not show all his emotions on his face, but Aya could still tell.
After dating Frank for so long, she would be too heartless not to notice his emotions even when he was
suppressing them.
After Frank left the room, he didn’t go anywhere else. He just stood in the corridor and leaned against
the middle of the two suites. He lazily leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette. He held it between his
lips and took a deep puff. He puffed and bit the cigarette butt with his teeth. He took out his phone and
sent a message to Edward. [Come out.]
In the room, Edward, who was already awake, was staring at Rose. When he heard the phone under
his pillow vibrate, he slowly pulled his arm out from under Rose’s neck and turned around slightly to
check his phone.
After seeing Frank’s messages, Edward got out of bed without hesitation and covered Rose with a
blanket. He took a set of casual clothes from his suitcase and put them on. He went to the bathroom to
wash up, put on his glasses and quietly walked out of the room.
Frank had already smoked two cigarettes. He lazily glanced at Edward, who came out.
Edward was not surprised to see Frank. When he saw the message on his phone, he was indeed
stunned. He did not expect

Frank to get to them so soon.
“Rose isn’t awake yet. Let’s find a place to sit and chat,” suggested Edward. Even if they wanted to
solve the problem, they couldn’t just smoke in the corridor. It wouldn’t be nice if Rose came out and
bumped into them.
Frank threw the extinguished cigarette butt into the dustbin, tidied his clothes, and walked behind
Edward casually. After a few steps, the two of them walked side by side as they headed downstairs.
They said nothing as they walked.
When they arrived at the lobby, Frank suddenly said, “Let’s talk here. It’s not something shameful. We
don’t have to find a discreet place like when the secret agents meet.”
Edward wanted to go to the floor where the cafe was located. Before Frank came, he had guessed that
this person would come over, but Frank was a little faster than he had expected. Just as he and his
wife had their first night, his wife’s brother
came.
Thankfully, Frank didn’t knock on the door last night.
Otherwise, they would not be able to enjoy their pleasurable night.
The two men sat on the sofa in the hall, facing each other. Frank took out a cigarette and threw the
remaining cigarette to Edward. He said indifferently, “You didn’t quit, right? Smoke as many as you can
now. Rose doesn’t like the smell of cigarettes.”
Hearing this, Edward laughed. He took a cigarette from Frank’s cigarette box and held it between his
fingers. He brought it to his lips and lit it up. He took a puff and said, “I’m married to Rose. I’ll make up
for what I owe her and won’t mistreat her. I have realized my mistake. You can vent your anger if you
want.”
Frank sneered and took a few puffs of smoke. The thin smoke blew in Edward’s direction. “You admit
your mistake pretty quickly.”
Frank could not beat this man up. After beating Edward up, Rose might blame him because of this.
Edward stopped smoking after smoking one cigarette. He extinguished it and threw it in the ashtray on
the table. Seeing that he had finished smoking one cigarette, Frank suggested politely, “Smoke another
one. Who knows, you might quit one day. Smoke as much as you want today.”
Edward wanted to say that even if Rose didn’t like him smoking and wanted him to quit in the future, he
didn’t intend to smoke to death in the hotel as soon as they got married. He refused. “Thanks, but I’m
done.”
It was mainly because he had not eaten breakfast. It was uncomfortable to smoke without eating
anything.
Seeing that he refused, Frank did not force him. “Did you mention it, or Rose did?”
“I mentioned it. I want to marry her. I told her this when we were in Artroyland.” If Frank found out that it
was Rose who mentioned it, Frank might scold Rose. It was better for him to take the blame.
“Well, you are good at planning. You took her overseas to register your marriage without even
informing her. You did plan well. Do you think you are a prince or king who can decide everything
without asking anyone’s permission?”
Edward could hear the resentment and dissatisfaction in Frank’s tone. He automatically defended
himself and ignored Frank’s anger. “I’ll treat her well. She’ll only live a better life with me than when she
was in the Roberts family. I can guarantee that.”
Frank smiled. He crossed his legs and leaned casually on the sofa. He squinted his eyes and looked at
Edward, who promised earnestly. He could tell that Edward was sincere. He just felt unhappy and was
not mentally prepared because his sister was married out of the blue.
This girl didn’t even send him a message. He felt left out.
If not for Hackett’s inexplicable congratulatory message and the fact that Ava happened to see it on the
post, it would probably take a few days for him to find out that his sister was married.
Frank was the one who gave her the pocket money for this trip. “Rose is a princess in the Roberts Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
family. Are you sure you can withstand her temper and treat her like we did?”
Edward thought, “I should be able to withstand her temper, except for when Rose seduces me.”
Last night, Rose decided to enjoy the pleasure and practice with him repeatedly. In the end, even
Edward was exhausted. After the two of them were exhausted, they decided to sleep and do it again
the next time.
“Rose is cheerful. She is a carefree person. I like the innocence in her. Sometimes she is like a child,
sometimes she is like a mature woman, and sometimes she is calm. She can switch between roles. But
Rose is still Rose.”
Edward recalled everything about Rose. In his memories were her playful look, the way she patted his
shoulder like a brother, and the way she pretended to be brave despite being very shy. They were all
adorable and genuine.
Frank smiled on behalf of Rose. There was someone who could discover the good side of this girl. “You
do know her well. You have taken away our princess just like that. Aren’t you going to say something to
express your gratitude?”

Edward, who knew how to read people’s expressions, could naturally see that Frank’s expression had
softened. At this moment, Frank was no longer as gloomy as when he first sat down. Instead, there
was a hint of mockery as Frank suggested, “Why don’t you address me as your brother-in-law first?”
Frank bit the cigarette butt. He smiled at Edward, who was opposite him. Edward said, “It’s not
impossible, even though we are almost the same age.
“Well. No matter what, I’m legally married to Rose. It’s polite to address you as my brother-in-law. Are
you satisfied? Feel free to request anything as long as it can satisfy Rose.”
Edward mentioned it half-jokingly and seriously.
In the end, Frank did not make any requests. It was fine as long as his sister felt happy. His sister was
married to Edward, not sold to him. Besides, he was not in a position to make any requests. After all,
Grace and William hadn’t said anything yet.
The two men talked in the lobby for nearly an hour before getting into the elevator together. In the end,
they entered their respective rooms. Before entering, Frank said again, “Wake her up for lunch. Don’t
let her sleep for too long and stay awake all night. She is here to travel, not to sleep.”
Edward smiled. Frank was indeed Rose’s brother. He was concerned about her sister but would never
say anything nice. Edward agreed. “Okay.”
He walked into the room and closed the door. The person on the bed was still sleeping soundly, but the
blanket was sandwiched between her legs and used as a bolster. It made Edward wonder how Rose
had been sleeping alone in the winter. Wouldn’t she catch a cold?
He raised his arm and looked at his watch. It was already 10 o’clock in the morning. Frank would come
over in an hour to urge them to join him and Ava for lunch.
When Frank walked into the room, his mood differed from when he went out. He looked at the little girl,
still sleeping soundly on the bed, and smiled. He lay on the bed and hugged her with the blanket.
“Hm.” The sudden hug made Ava grunt.
Frank comforted her, “It’s me. Go to sleep. Sorry. I’m back an hour late.”
Ava was silent again. She habitually snuggled into Frank’s arms, trying to adjust her position to sleep
more comfortably.
