Even without seeing her face, Rosalie could tell that udia''s features must have been twisted with anger.


    you were upset that day, so you said those harsh words. Neither Helena nor


    After a few seconds, Rosalie heard udia say, "We''re all family. I knew you I are going to holo u against you"


    sha sure has a lot of patience. No wonder she has managed to beat Rosalie''s mother and win, she wondered. Rosalie let out a derisiveugh.


    udia continues. "Rosalie, you go ahead and finish what you''re doing, but you should still eat dinner. Don''t starve yourself. We''ll wait for you toe back and eat together... I''ll go check on the soup I''m simmering in the kitchen for you. Bye.


    With that, probably fearing that Rosalie would say something even more infuriating, udia hung up the phone first.


    Rosalie didn''t take them seriously and just focused on her own business. It wasn''t until seven-thirty in the evening that she headed to the Graham residence.


    "Mr. Gralum. Mrs. Graham, Rosalie has arrived." Hollie said.


    When Rosalie entered, she could sense the low pressure in the living room, clearly, the family was in a sour mood.


    And the culprit of this unpleasantness merely nced at them indifferently, handed her suitcase to Hollie, and said, "Take it upstairs and put it in


    my room.


    "Yes. Rosalie." Hollie replied.


    At that moment, footsteps could be hearding down the stairs, apanied by an extremely discontented voice echoing from the stairwell. "Rosalie, what''s going on? Don''t you know everyone''s been waiting for you to eat? Why did you show up sote?"


    The usatory tone fell squarely on Rosalie.


    She looked up and saw the old woman, and curled her lips into a smile. “Grandma, you are back,” she said nonchntly, without much emotion. even though the woman was her grandmother.


    Ever since time travel, Phyllis had always favored Helena, Rosalie didn''t understand why, as the legitimate granddaughter, she was the one being neglected in favor of a girl brought in by a stepmother.


    Because she felt sorry for Helena, Rosalie never took out her frustration on her.


    Instead, Rosalie would ask Edward about it. Edward would say that the grandmother felt bad for Helena''s illness and thus doted on her a bit more.


    Over time, Rosalie just epted this behavior. She figured that since she had her father and stepmother''s affection, it didn''t matter if the grandmother favored Helena a bit more.


    Even when Phyllis spoke harshly to her in private, Rosalie would endure it for her father''s sake.


    But the reality was this in Phyllis'' eyes. Helena was the true granddaughter, while Rosalie, a member of the Talley family, was perhaps just an outsider.


    Phyllis had always been domineering in front of Rosalie and knew that Rosalie was usually intimidated by her. Phyllis didn''t expect that after returning from a month-and-a-half-long trip, Rosalie would still have such an indifferent attitude. First came a moment of surprise, followed quickly by a more evident displeasure on her face. "Making everyone in the family wait for you in the evening, don''t you feel the slightest bit ashamed?" she said.


    "Is that so! You were waiting for me?" Rosalie''s gaze shifted to udia. "Didn''t I tell you not to wait for me? You didn''t pass on my message.” Meeting Rosalie''s piercing look, udia''s eyes flickered with a hint of guilt before she exined, "I took it upon myself to have everyone you. We''re all family; it wouldn''t make sense for us to start eating without you. I just didn''t expect you to be sote.
