Chapter 352 Threat
Chapter 356 Embrace New Life
"Pretty good. Studying, working, taking care of Mom—keeping busy." Amy nodded, her voice soft.
"Did you miss me?" Rose's question was so direct that Amy's head snapped up, her eyes meeting Rose's deep gaze, where clear affection burned with intense warmth.
Amy's face instantly flushed red, her heart pounding like a drum.
Over these three years, it wasn't that she hadn't thought about Rose.
That dangerous and mysterious Rose was like a crimson mark, imprinted on her heart.
On nights abroad, Amy would sometimes recall the cool touch of Rose's fingertips, her brilliant yet distant smile.
"I..." Amy opened her mouth, unsure what to say.
She was afraid—afraid this was another dangerous game, afraid of falling into an uncontrollable whirlpool again.
But that flutter in her heart, forcibly suppressed for three years, surged powerfully under Rose's direct gaze at this moment, nearly breaking through the dam of reason.
Rose watched her flustered yet expectant expression and chuckled softly. "Amy, I know what kind of person I am. Most places I've been aren't exactly clean. I can't give you an ordinary, stable life, and might even bring you trouble."
Rose paused, stepped closer, narrowing the distance. Her voice lowered, carrying a fatal allure and sincerity. "But over these three years, I kept thinking about you. About how you looked when you cried, when you pretended to be strong, when you blushed... It's troublesome, but I can't forget."
She reached out, this time not touching Amy's face, but gently grasping her slightly trembling hands—hands that had learned drafting and crafting at Seraphim, had developed calluses, yet remained slender.
"I won't force you. But I don't want to lie to myself anymore either. Amy, I want to try. Not keeping a little pet, but seriously being with you. Do you dare?"
Amy looked at their clasped hands. All her fears and concerns seemed defeated in this moment by that clear flutter of her heart.
She didn't want to go against her true feelings anymore, didn't want to miss this dangerous yet intensely attractive possibility out of fear of the unknown.
Amy gripped Rose's hand back. Though her fingertips still trembled slightly, her eyes became firm. "I don't know what the future holds. But I want to try. Together with you."
Rose's eyes suddenly burst with dazzling light, an emotion close to wild joy that made her whole being vivid and bright.
She squeezed Amy's hand hard, her smile brilliantly radiant. "Okay."
When the two appeared hand-in-hand before everyone, the atmosphere was clearly different. The blush on Amy's face and the lingering light in her eyes, Rose's undisguised tender gaze—all the adults present except the innocent Arthur and Marlowe instantly understood.
Elodie was momentarily stunned, then smiled.
Brandon raised an eyebrow, thoughtful, but said nothing.
The most shocked was Rachel.
Seeing the invisible intimate aura between Amy and Rose, her eyes widened, mouth slightly open, hardly believing what she saw.
Her sweet, quiet sister Amy, with the female leader of Selman, Rose?
This pairing left Rachel more stunned than any business plot twist.
"Amy, you two?" Rachel pointed at them, barely able to get the words out.
Amy's face reddened further as she hid slightly behind Rose.
Rose was calm, gently pulling Amy to her side, curving her lips at Rachel. "As you can see, Ms. York. I hope you'll look kindly on us from now on." These words were directed at Rachel, but also at Brandon and Elodie.
Brandon, seeing Rachel's adorably shocked expression, couldn't help but chuckle, teasing softly in her ear with endless affection. "What, you're allowed to have never imagined marrying me back then, but Amy can't have an unexpected connection?"
Indeed, how wonderful fate was.
Had Rachel herself ever imagined years ago that she would spend her life with someone as unfathomable as Brandon, bearing his children?
Everyone had their own path, their own right to pursue the happiness that moved their heart.
As long as it was genuine, mutual, and protective.
Rachel gradually came to terms with it, even feeling happy for Amy.
"As long as Amy is happy." Rachel finally said softly, nodding at Rose. Her eyes held both blessing and request. "Treat her well."
Rose put away her casual attitude and responded solemnly. "I will."
The evening sun's glow streamed into the living room, coating everyone in a layer of warm gold.
A newborn's cry, children's laughter, lovers' whispers.
All the love and hate, schemes and calculations, hardships and struggles seemed to melt in this moment into a picture called home and love.
Rachel wasn't the only one reborn from the ashes.
Everyone, in their own way, had broken free from the past, embraced new life, and found their own belonging and light in the bonds of love.
Their stories might still have unknown chapters, but this moment's completeness and hope were enough to illuminate the path ahead and warm the rest of their lives.
