Come on Daddy!

Chapter 25 The Elegant Man

“Grandma, I—” As Rose opened her mouth to talk, Sophie also spoke.

“Sky, where’s the present you prepared for grandma?” Sophie gently pulled on Sky’s sleeve to remind him.

Sky handed the gift to Grandma Linder. “Grandma, happy birthday!”

“Grandma, happy birthday!” Sophie smiled sweetly. “Grandma, this is a birthday gift Sky and I carefully selected for you. Take a look. Do you like it?”

Grandma Linder took it over but didn't mean to open it.

She had always been brooding about the fact that this younger granddaughter replaced Rose and married Sky.

She always felt that the matter of their breakup was not so simple, but she never had the opportunity to ask clearly.

And her health has been deteriorating in recent years. She has been recuperating in Switzerland for many years. Her biggest hope coming back this time was to see Rose and see if she had any that was too painful to talk about.

“Some people are so guilty that they can't remain calm anymore.” Nora mocked Sophie, who had lost some composure just now because of anxiety.

“Miss Cooper, we welcome you to come to my mother’s birthday banquet, but if you want to get involved with our family matters, then don’t blame me for being rude as your elder.” Chandler looked at Nora with displeasuring, hoping that she would not say anything inappropriate in public.

Family matters? Rose was expelled from the Linder family. Did she still count as a member of the Linder family?

“Mr. Linder, I am really not interested in your family matters at all. As Rose’s best friend, I just want to be by her side. I don't want her to be bullied for nothing.” Nora still did not back down in the face of Chandler’s unwelcoming tone.

“Miss Cooper, look at what you are saying... We are Rose’s parents and relatives. We will never ignore anyone bullies her.” Joy was sophisticated, which made people unable to find fault in her words.

Nora did not answer, but the word “hypocrisy” showed in her beautiful eyes as she looked at Joy.

“Who dares to bully Rose when grandma is here?” Grandma Linder domineeringly guarded her beloved granddaughter and looked at Sky. “Sky, I brought Rose up from a young age. I know her character very well. She is definitely not the type to be irresponsible in a relationship. Are you misunderstanding her?”

“Grandma, I have seen it with my own eyes. There is no misunderstanding.” Sky said affirmatively.

As soon as he thought of Rose holding the child, his heart felt suffocated.

“Saw it with your own eyes? What did you see? Show grandma the evidence.” Grandma Linder frowned.

“Grandma, I don’t want to enquire about things that happened in the past. Let it pass. The important thing is that I am very happy now. I just want to cherish the person around me who really loves me and who I also love, and that’s good enough for me.” Sky clasped Sophie’s hand next to him, his cold eyes becoming soft.

Sophie met Sky’s warm eyes. She was really moved.

She felt that everything she did was worthwhile. Even if Rose would hate her for life, she didn’t mind.

“Sure enough, men are all as changeable as the moon.” Nora snorted coldly.

“Miss Cooper, don’t stereotype men. I am not such a person.” A joking voice came.

It was the Clark family’s sixth son, Jayden, who was always cynical.

Today he wore a grapefruit red suit with a golden rhinestone deer head pin on the. Together with a blue, white, and red-coloured fine-vertically striped floral shirt and white trousers, he looked fancy and dandy, but stylish and serious.

“I am wholeheartedly dedicated to Rose. She is the only one my eyes. God can prove it.” Jayden stretched out his hand to gently clasp Rose’s thin shoulders and grinned, revealing his white teeth.

“Grandma Linder, happy birthday. I wish you a happy and long life.” He brought a gift.

“How come you are here?” Rose was surprised. Jayden didn't like attending such banquets since he was a child. He would rather hide in peace at home by himself.

“Because I knew you were back, so I came right away. You see that I miss you so, are you very moved?” Jayden raised a brow, his peach blossom-shaped phoenix eyes sending out waves of affection towards Rose. He also looked at Sky on the opposite side, as if trying to provoke him.

“Moved, very moved.” Rose cooperated with Jayden and was thankful to Jayden for coming to support her from the bottom of her heart.

“Since you are moved, why don’t you follow me. I will love you and protect you for life.”

“...” Rose smiled as beautiful as a flower, but in her heart, she asked if they were acting a bit too much?

Afterward, Jayden took Rose’s hand and put away the cynicism on his face. His charming face registered seriousness. “Grandma Linder, we really don’t have to worry about marrying Rose, as she is so beautiful and charismatic. Tom, Dick and Harry are no match for her. If you don’t mind, you can rest assured and let me take care of Rose.”

Jayden also assuredly patted his chest and raised his brows in Sky’s direction. The irony in his words was strong.

The expressions on Sky, Sophie, Chandler, and Joy went cold because of the words “cats or dogs”.

On the other hand, Nora looked like she was watching a good show, and calmly gave Jayden countless praises in her heart.

Sophie saw Sky appearing indifferent and calm on the surface, but clenching his fist secretly, trying his best to restrain his anger.

“Jayden, who are you calling Tom, Dick and Harry?” She couldn't bear anyone humiliating Sky.

“Whoever answered me.” Jayden smiled brightly, but the light in his eyes piercing Sophie like a cold sword.

“You—” Sophie turned pale with anger and didn't know how to respond.

Sky tightened his clasp on her waist to prevent her from replying further.

“Grandma, we are going to greet our relatives and friends first.” Sky was too generous to care about Jayden and was about to leave with Sophie.

“No one is allowed to leave until I finish speaking!” Grandma Linder's tone was filled with rare anger.

At this time, Chandler’s assistant trot over and whispered. “Mrs. Linder, CEO Linder, Madam, a distinguished guest is here.”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion at the door. Everyone looked up and the crowd gave way.

She remembered that face deeply. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Long eyebrows reaching the temple, ink eyes deep like an endless abyss with lights of wisdom, and thin lips like blade, sexy and perfect – it was a face more handsome than male celebrities in the entertainment industry.

Exquisite, perfect, flawless...

She couldn't find better vocabulary to describe this handsome man.

The well-respected man arrived gracefully, noble like a god and even more dazzling than the brilliant crystal lamp.

“Miss Linder.” His thin lips spoke her name generously, making her heart beat faster. “Long time no see.”
