It seemed like Irene did not want to acknowledge them.
Elliot and Avery suddenly did not know what to do.
Irene was not a three year old kid anymore. She could not be easily comforted.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe had her mind of her own at that age, and she did not need to depend on anyone to live. She was more mature than girls her age. She also knew how to survive in society.
Therefore, money was not the most important thing to Irene. No matter what status Avery and Elliot had in society, they were trivial to her.
"Uncle Elliot, Aunt Avery, you should go home! I'll talk to her." Rose saw how stunned they were. She felt bad for them, and she felt kind of troubled. "My parents will also talk to her." Avery was the first to snap out of it.
"Yeah. Rose, you have to tell us straight away if Irene wants to leave. We will meet her again no matter what," said Avery. "Alright." Avery dragged Elliot away from the Brook mansion.
Rose instantly went back inside after they left. She told Irene everything.
Irene instantly hopped off the bed, and she wanted to pack her luggage to leave.
"Irene, don't be like this! They left..." Rose grabbed her hand because she did not want her to leave. "They won't force you to acknowledge them." Irene replied, "I know. I just feel too awkward. There was a comforting layer between us, but now that layer is torn apart. I feel so uncomfortable here. Rose, you can visitin Taronia in the future. I can show you around too." Rose said, "I'll visit you for sure, but can you not leave right now? My uncle and my aunt will look for you if you leave now." Irene stayed silent.
"They know you're here, and they haven't met you. How will they ever just let you leave? They will want to а meet yo no matter what." Rose held her hand tightly. "Irene, please calm down, and don't be rash, I'll protect you. I'll be on your side if you don't want to acknowledge them." She calmed down after hearing what Rose had to say.

Elliot and Avery went to shower and changed their clothes after they went home.
Layla cback from the office soon after.
"Dad, mom! Have you met Irene yet?" asked Layla.
"That granny who raised her passed away. She lives alone right now. She can live on her own, so that means she's a survivor. She knew about her background, but she didn't cto look for us. That means she doesn't care about our wealth and status. She probably hates us to death," said Avery. "Why does she hate us? It's not like we don't want to take care of her..." Layla frowned and asked, "How about I go talk to her?" Avery stopped her daughter and said, "Don't go. We should wait until the paternity test results are out. Let's calm down for the moment." Avery was much calmer after the shower. However, Elliot did not seem calm.
He sat on the sofa, and drank continuous cups of coffee.
