Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Chapter 489: Keep her happy



Rose, who was watching two old men's grim faces, realized Finn wouldn't silently sit if his grandparents looked down on her, his girlfriend. Somehow that behavior didn't suit his personality so she turned to him and noticed... a smug smile.

Her face flushed red again realizing they were purposefully provoking her just like how Finn teases her. She returned her eyes back to the old men who hadn't changed their expression.

She noticed Master Stanley calmly sit through without a bother, then she turned behind to see Madam Stanley forcing an expression to hide her smile. Now she understood why she asked her to just answer the question.

Harold grunted, "Come here." Zeke furrowed feeling suspicious about his next move.

Rose elegantly stood up and went around the center table to reach him thinking if she said anything wrong or was she harsh or sounded rude? She was positive because if they had got angry, wouldn't they throw her out by now?

She stood a step away watching the old man. Zeke's jaw dropped when a red envelope appeared in his hand from the formal jacket's inner pocket. Zeke gritted his teeth realizing Harold tricked him.

Harold extended his hand to Rose, "This rascal didn't tell us earlier so I couldn't prepare any welcome gift before. I hope you can accept it." He gently spoke, widening her eyes.

Zeke Wen interjected, pulling a card out of his purse, "It's hard to handle cash, it's easier to carry a card. Take this..."

Rose: "..."

It was a contrast reaction, so it wasn't only shocking but she oddly felt they were giving her millions as a red pocket and the duo men looked like they were going to have a huge war seeing them glare at each other.

"Elder Stanley, Elder Wen, Your thought is what matters, these all…" She paused to look who held her hand and noticed a bracelet on her slender fair wrist and Madam Stanley beaming, "I will get you better one next time."

Rose: "..."

"Rose, should I buy you another bracelet or are you accepting my gift?" Harold demanded coldly.

Rose: "..."

Zeke pulled his mobile out, "She is shy to accept money, Let me arrange a good gift."

Rose: "..."

Harold turned to Zeke and hissed, "You think I can't do that?"

"Yeah Yeah, will you ask your comrades to get a pistol for her?"

Rose: "..." She actually didn't want anything. She was still unaware if they would really end up marrying or break up sooner or later so she didn't feel the right over anything they wanted to give her.

"Elder Stanley, Elder Wen, I know it's cliche, but I really don't need these." She turned to Madam Stanley removing her bracelet, "Thank you Madam Stanley but I can't take this."

Finn spoke after her before anybody's rebuff, "If you don't take those now, you will end up regretting later."

"Huh?" Rose didn't understand. 'Why will I regret it?' She thought and saw Madam Stanley turning to her husband and asking, "How about the necklace I recently bought? It's modern and stylish."

Rose weirdly knew they were talking about a diamond necklace. She was yet to recover, she heard Zeke's tone, "Fetch the new villa papers we bought recently to Stanley mansion now."

Rose: "..."

Harold ordered somebody over a phone call, "Buy and deliver the new best hybrid sports car at home."

Rose: "..."

She didn't know why, she remembered Finn saying 'Your President sold you off.' 'Why are they so excited? I am just his girlfriend, not even his fiancee.'

She turned to Finn realizing why he said she will regret it. Finn just raised a brow when their eyes met, like challenging her to solve it herself.

Determined, she took a bracelet, red pocket, and cash card, "I am happy with these. Please, no need for anything." Her last words sounded more like requesting them to stop doing it.

However, "What will I do with the car? Just keep it."

"Why worry about living in an apartment? Move to a new villa, I will appoint a helper for cleaning... By the way, do you know how to cook? I will get a chef."

The one who hadn't spoken a word out asked in dilemma, "I heard couples living together nowadays, Dad, why do you want to separate them?"

Finn and Rose: "..."

As the conversation grew, Rose felt like she was a newly wedded bride, it's her first day at her in-laws' places and they were taking care of the needs without even letting her speak.

She initially had thought they were bestowing all expensive gifts due to her identity as Finn's girlfriend but as she continued to hear them, she genuinely felt they cared for her but it was just that they didn't care about the prices to bring everything the best for her.

Finn who saw Rose confused and trying to stop them repeatedly while his grandfathers went on rampage competing with each other, said, "Rose's cooking skills are great."

Rose: "..." She can't understand why he doesn't speak completely and says off the topic.

Zeke Wen stood up clapping his hands, "I will help you cook."

Harold stood up in poise, he pointed Zeke, "He doesn't know to chop vegetables. I will help you."

Madam Stanley, "I will help you fetch the ingredients."

Master Stanley too stood up, "Let me get fresh vegetables from the greenhouse." which was behind the mansion at a little course of distance.

Rose didn't have any problem cooking but she was laughing and smiling sitting in the kitchen eating one or the other snack which was prepared by either the housekeeper or Madam Stanley.

In the end, the one who cooked for all was Finn while all spoke to her, narrated about Finn or something interesting about the Stanley family.

Until that she didn't have any idea, she is Finn's first and only girlfriend. So she realized everything was rumors about Finn with actresses. Nobody brought up about her parents or fret over her single name without a family name so she was quite happy about it.

After dinner, they were thrown out of the mansion asking them to return to Finn's villa to give them complete privacy.

Rose was giggling on the shotgun seat as she said, "I can't believe you joined the military school to have a chance to beat others. I had thought there would be an inspirational line as protecting the nation and citizens of the country."

Finn glanced at her and a faint smile tugged his lips. What if he can't love? He could try to keep her happy.
