Chapter 337
The photo in William’s phone was sent to him by his subordinate. Usually, William treated this
subordinate well. This subordinate sent the photo to congratulate William. He had no idea that William
did not know what his future daughter-in-law looked like.
William cared about his image and how others perceived him. He could only lie to his subordinate and
say, “Yes. I’ve seen her in person. She looks better in person than in photos. The person who took the
photo didn’t capture the best features of my future daughter-in-law. Tell him to practice his photography
skills more next time.”
This was William’s reply to his subordinate. In reality, he had never seen Ava. That mischievous Frank
is keeping things under wraps too tightly,” he thought.
Frank strode into the living room with one hand in his pocket and the other holding a bottle of Red Bull.
As soon as he entered, he saw Rose playing with her phone seriously.
He had gotten used to this situation. At Deepwater Bay, Rose had been playing with her phone every
day.
However, the way his parents looked at him was a little strange, especially William, whose gaze
seemed more intense. Grace’s brows were slightly furrowed. It was obvious they were not pleased.
Frank stopped in his tracks, one hand holding a Red Bull, the other pressing onto Rose’s head. Rose
forcefully pushed his hand away. She then pressed his hand onto the sofa and asked, “What’s the
matter?”
William turned his head, preparing to ask about matters related to his future daughter-in-law. Just as he
was about to ask Frank about it, Grace retracted her gaze. Her back was now facing Frank. She spoke
first, “Have you been planning to start a jewelry company recently
Frank tapped on Rose’s head. Then, he walked over to a single sofa and sat with his legs spread apart.
He raised his head, finished the Red Bull drink placed it on the table, and said, “No”
Rose was still rubbing her aching head. She was glaring at Frank.
Grace squinted and looked at her son for a full minute. Then, she crossed her legs and folded her
arms, ready to listen carefully to her son’s explanation. She said again. You don’t plan to start a
company, and you don’t have the hobby of collecting jewelry Why are you searching for pink diamonds
so extensively? Do you know how many people have called me these few days to give me pink
diamonds Tell me What are you planning to do?”
Toward the end, Grace got a little angry The Roberts family was a prominent family, but they had never
accepted such benefits from others. Such benefits that came knocking on one’s door had to be repaid
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsooner or later. There was no such thing as a free lunch. It remained to be seen whether the benefits
would be repaid in terms of money, favors, or something else Perhaps one would only know when the
time came
Grace had never been someone who allowed others to make requests, so she would not accept those
diamonds. However, there were always people coming in pairs or groups to visit and gift diamonds,
which made her quite annoyed.
Rose suddenly had a realization, as if she had guessed it. However, just as she opened her mouth,
Frank glared at her coldly. She immediately shut her mouth. She even mimicked the motion of pulling a
zipper, as if sealing her lips shut in response.
“Let me pretend once agam that I don’t know” Rove thought. She picked up her phone and played with
it. However, she paid close attention to the conversation. She listened attentively. She wanted to know
how her brother would explain himself.
Frank clasped his hands behind his head, leaned back, and crossed his legs, just like Grace. Then, he
replied nonchalantly, “They are useful.”
Grace was left speechless.
Seeing his wife’s expression turn displeased, William reminded Frank, “Frank, tell your mom what use
those diamonds are to you. If you really need those diamonds, wouldn’t it be quicker if your mom and I
help you? The more people collaborate on a task, it becomes easier and more effective to accomplish
a goal
After saying that. William winked at his son.
Frank licked his lips. The taste of Red Bull’s essence was quite strong. “Im working on something,” he
said. “Rose, you had better keep your mouth shut and do no get involved.”
Rose, who was about to share this huge piece of information with her friends on the Fairy Fortress
group chat, muttered and put down her phone again. She sighed. “Fine, she thought. “If my brother
wants to surprise us, then let him surprise us. I’ll just assume that Im hearing things.”
The drama queen Rose pretended that she was deaf
Grace was smart. In a second, she guessed who this so-called thing was for. “You collected so many
expensive pink diamonds to please your girlfriend,” she said.
It was an athrmative sentence. It was not a question.
Seeing that her mother seemed to have misunderstood something. Rose quickly explained on behalf of
Ava to prevent her mother from being biased against Ava in the future. “Mom, things are definitely not
as you’re thinking,” she said. “The reason
Frank collects pink diamonds is simply to express his love for Ava. I can assure you that Ava definitely
doesn’t know about this. Also, I guarantee that Frank’s girlfriend, who is my future sister-in-law and my
good friend, is definitely not a girl who is vain or acts like a little princess. Her age and personality are
not proportional”
After saying that, Rose was still worries Frank she said ‘Say something”
Grace would.

Rose thought. “I asked you to explain. I didn’t ask you to talk nonsense.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him. Frank was speechless. He added, “She’s not a delicate
person that has a habit of seeking comfort and enjoyment.
“She would cry at most, Frank thought “Everything else is fine”
In any case, in his opinion. Ava was good.
The usually confident William thought that his son must also have good taste. “After all, he has
inherited my genes, he thought. “This taste could not possibly be lacking”
“Alright” William said “Just manage things well on your own Don’t try to act too cool all the time, and
avoid unnecessary conflicts with women Learn from the more often. You can see me as a role model.
I’ve never been involved in any romantic rumors” While criticizing. William did not forget to praise
himself before Grace
Grace was left speechless.
Rose was left speechless as well
Rose thought. “You don’t have to say the last sentence Everyone knows your history. It was Mom who
put an end to it When you were young, there were always people trying to introduce girls to you, but
they were scared off by Mom’s powerful presence. Your lack of romantic rumor has got nothing to do
with your virtue
After being glared at by Grace, William rubbed his nose guiltily and smiled. He no longer talked.
After the two children went upstairs, Grace said worriedly. “Your son no longer has principles. You have
got to talk to him seriously when you are free.”
William did not share that viewpoint. He retorted, “Grace, I have to talk about this. I don’t think there’s a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmproblem with our son. It’s not that he spends all his money to make his girlfriend happy. It’s all within his
means. If you were to mention something you want right now, I could probably arrange for the entire
Roberts family to buy it for you. Do you believe
that**
Grace crossed one arm over her chest. She then propped the other hand on her arm to pinch her
aching eyebrows. She took a deep breath and said. “Put away your lovestruck mindset. Your son is just
like you”
William said. “Isn’t that good? Although Frank is a man of few words, there’s nothing wrong with doting
on his girlfriend. Even though she’s not his wife yet but a girlfriend, judging by our son’s current
behavior, he’ll definitely dote on his wife in the future. Don’t you think so? Just like we love each other,
our son and our future daughter-in-law will also love each other. You’re worrying too much. Relax and
don’t overthink.
“Your son is doing this because he loves the girl to the extreme. He probably wants to give her a
surprise. Didn’t you notice that he didn’t want Rose to reveal it? Look at this photo. Look. I know you
want to see it. Now that your son and the others. aren’t around, just look at it without worrying. This girl
looks very pleasant in this photo, right? She’s such a good match for
our son.”
William picked up his phone and handed it to Grace. Grace glanced at it from the corner of her eye.
She did not say anything. However, the worry on her face disappeared. After a moment of silence,
Grace said, “She looks quite pretty. Did Rose say that she’s a graduate student?”
William said, “Oh yes That’s right. She’s a top student. We don’t have any top students in our family. If
Frank marries a graduate student, this will instantly enhance the Roberts family’s perceived level of
culture and education, don’t you think?
“Look at this girl’s appearance. Like Frank, she is exceedingly good-looking. She’s mideed very
compatible with Frank. In the future, our grandchildren will definitely be exceedingly good-looking
Bringing them out will attract lots of attention. It is a source of pride and it will contribute positively to the
family’s image. No worries about genetics at all.
“Don’t you think so, Grace?
Grace felt a throbbing in her forehead. She thought, “Why did I end up marrying this chatterbox? He
doesn’t talk much when we’re out, but once we’re home, he just goes on and on. He even expects me
to respond from time to tune. Don’t you think so? Isn’t that right? Did you hear me?”
Grace was at a loss for words.
“Can you take a break for a while?” Grace said. “If you’re thirsty, have some coffee before you
continue. Im going to bed.”
William grabbed hold of Grace’s arm and said, “Let’s go together. I’m tired too. If I hadn’t been chatty,
how could I have been able to win your affection when I pursued you?”
