The Continent of Europe

Chapter 56's

...CHAPTRE 56...

...MEETING WITH CLARK AGAIN...

"Where are you going, Rosie?"

Rosaline, who was standing in front of the mirror, gasped as the door of her room suddenly opened and revealed the figure of her twin, Reagan, in her beloved navy blue nightgown, standing in the doorway.

From her annoying gaze, Rosaline could tell that the man was assessing the dress he was wearing. Just look at the movements of his eyes that continue to shift from bottom to top. Observing him with probing eyes.

"Where are you going, Rosie?"

This time his voice sounded calm yet intimidating. His probing gaze became sharp. Sharp enough to strip Rosaline of the wall of lies she's trying to make.

Oh lord. He didn't want to tell anyone about the dinner at the Adler family home. Especially Reagan and Daniel. It would be a big deal if they knew about it.

"There's something I have to do," he replied, trying hard not to show any expression in front of his twin.

"Who?" She asked.

"Oliver."

"Where?"

Just by looking at his anxious expression, Reagan inevitably felt suspicious. Since then the girl has continuously slipped her hair into her ears, even every time she speaks she does not dare to look back at Reagan.

"You're lying, right? Your ears are always red every time you lie."

Reagan grinned as he watched the twin's body stiffen as his last sentence came out. Actually he was just kidding. Rosaline's ears never flushed every time she lied. His body language shows.

Rosaline. He anxiously covered both of his ears and shouted, "no! I'm not lying!" Excited restless. His eyes moved furiously, ignoring the twin's intense gaze as much as possible.

Rosaline could feel Reagan's sharp gaze still on her as she slowly turned her head only to see Reagan remain still where he stood. The man frowned, probably still looking around for lies on Rosaline's face.

Well, of course Rosaline would never be able to lie to him, but for this she had to lie. No one should know where he went. No one can know.

"Sorry Reggie, I have to go. Oliver'll be mad at me if I'm late. Tell Daniel not to worry about me, maybe I'll be home a little late."

In a hurry Rosaline ran out of her bedroom, leaving Reagan still standing in front of the bedroom door. The man watched Rosaline's back slowly disappear from his sight as she descended the stairs quickly.

"What happened to him?"

He raised an eyebrow. By the time Reagan wanted to close the door on Rosaline's bedroom. Something caught his ear. He turned his head left and right, looking for something that rang there.

"Oh shit," he said, "he forgot his phone."

...•—— ⁠✿ ——•...

As soon as a house like a castle appeared in Rosaline's sight, the girl immediately felt anxious. Because the house is a sign that he has arrived at James' house.

Slowly Rosaline got out of the taxi that took her there after handing over some money to the driver. He looked up, observing the house with a feeling of anxiety.

"Yes, this is just a return. Think of it like that!" Say it to yourself.

With a doubtful step Rosaline took her foot towards the house. His hand pressed the bell outside the gate and a camera appeared. Just like Oliver did when they came here, Rosaline just mentioned her name and the gate of the house opened.

But this time it's different. A man in black appeared in front of him.

"This way, miss," he said

Rosaline got in the car.

Well, Rosaline can't deny how far James' house is from the front gate. It would be exhausting for him to walk.

The car he was riding with the man in black clothes arrived at the door of the house. This time Rosaline's anxious feelings increased when she saw the number of cars parked and again, she was one hundred percent sure there were Clark's car parked there.

"This is going to be a nightmare!"

Suddenly the door of the house opened and again appeared a man in a black suit. Oh my god, it's just a dinner, right? He won't be killed or made into a project crash, will he? Not daring to do his instinct to run from there, Rosaline resignedly moved her legs in.

The men in black suits there quickly surrounded Rosaline and directed her into a room with golden doors. At the door there are many beautiful ornaments that Rosaline believes are very expensive.

"Please come in, miss."

It felt like Rosaline wanted to scream to stop them from leaving her alone there. But what can be done. If he does not enter, the land released by Floyd Adler could be contested again. But if he comes in? Oh lord!

"Wish me luck!"

In one breath, Rosaline slowly pushed the door with her eyes closed. The girl did not dare look around and found the gaze of the Adler family or whatever was waiting for her in the room. Please, she just wants to go home and lie comfortably on her bed.

"Oh finally. This is the girl I was talking about that day!"

Rosaline gulped as soon as she heard the raucous voice of Floyd Adler welcoming her arrival. Somehow it felt so hard to open his eyes, as if it had been glued together with something very sticky.

"Sorry I'm asleep—"

Rosaline. His eyes that were slowly starting to open now widened in shock. Over there. In that room. Everyone sitting at the long dining table stared intensely at him. Their faces and expressions were sour, as if they did not welcome his arrival.

Rosaline did not expect the guests in the room to be really crowded. Even so he knew, in the crowd there was Clark watching him in confusion, well, or also hatred for suddenly appearing at the Adler family dinner.

"Rousalina!" Someone shouted and Rosaline heaved a sigh of relief once she knew who it was.

Minerva Adler's. The older woman waved her hand gently towards

Rosaline, tell the girl that there's an empty place next to her. Rosaline actually wanted to refuse, but unfortunately only the place next to the woman was left.

Trying as hard as possible to ignore the intense gazes of everyone who seemed to be stripping her, Rosaline sat herself down next to Minerva anxiously. He knew that in front of him right now was Clark sitting side by side with James.

God, maybe today is the unlucky day.

Just look at Clark who snorted hatefully at him as soon as Rosaline sat down next to her future in-laws. He would definitely kill her after this.
