NovelOnlineRose immediately darted off toward the backyard.
Kiara was about to catch up with her sister when Rose skipped ahead of her again.
"Mom! Hurry! Rose is running off!" Kiara yelled toward Shea.
Shea was more tepid by nature, and Kiara was just like her.
"Let's just sit and rest in the dormitory. Your sister will find us later," Shea said gently.
"No! We need to catch up with Rose. | want to see what her best friend looks like," Kiara said before dragging her mother toward
the backyard.
Meanwhile, Irene and Sister Arya had been chatting in the backyard for half an hour when Sister Arya suddenly remembered
something.
"Rose calledlast night and said that she is coming to visit today. If you don't want to see her, | won't keep you here for lunch,"
she said.
Irene paused and panicked at the coincidence.
After a brief moment of consideration, she decided to leave. She had accomplished what she had chere for and had no
regrets. Just as she bid farewell to Sister Arya, she heard a shout.
"Irene! I'm Rose!"

Rose took long strides toward them.
Irene did not know what to say.
It was easy to spot Rose with her hair like bright snow, and her preference for white clothes. Her hair was tucked behind her ear,
and she looked like a fairy with the long white dress she had on.
Irene froze, wanting to leave, but unable to move. Deep down, she wanted to see Rose and talk to her.
"Irene! It's really you! Why didn't you call me? | thought you had my aunt-in-law's number."
Avery had always treated Rose like her own and after Rose was adopted by Shea, she started to call Elliot 'uncle' and Avery 'aunt-
in-law’ as Kiara did.

and Irene felt her heart roglting.
Indeed, Rose was as kind and passionate as she was in the past, and doubting her just seemed foolish.
"Irene, how have you been? Where's your grandma? Sh—"

Rose was older than Irene, so she remembered more of the past.
Just as Irene was thinking up more ways of saying no, Shea and Kiara arrived.
"Rose, is this your friend, Irene?" Shea walked over to Rose and studied Irene.
Irene had fair skin and beautiful features. Shea thought that Irene looked familiar like she had seen her somewhere before.
"Mom, | want to invite Irene to our house to play, is that okay?" Rose asked.
"Sure! It's been so many years, and it must be fate that you found one another again," Shea said before taking Irene's hand.
"Irene, you are welcto cto our house."
Irene looked at Rose with a troubled expression.
