While her mother is busy treating Evan like a king, Rose is busy planning to get her mother to stop what she is doing.
"M-Mother!!" Rose whispers while glaring at her mother. Trying to force her mother not to disturb Evan's meal. Molly just smiled, looking at her daughter. She hurriedly ate her own meal and let her future son-in-law eat in peace.
Seeing her mother not bothering Evan anymore made Rose breathe a sigh of relief. The three of them enjoy the food quietly.
"Aunty, after lunch, may I take Rose out?" Evan, who had just put down his fork and spoon, asked Molly for permission.
"You guys want to go on a date?" Evan smiles while nodding at Molly. She continued, "Sure…but don't forget to bring her home, okay?" Molly laughs, teasing her son-in-law.
Evan almost choked with the water he had just drank. He quickly put the glass on the table while wiping his mouth slightly. Then, he looked at Molly in a hurry with a surprised look.
"A-Auntie, of course, I'll take her back home. I promise you, she will come back home before nine..."
Rose was speechless hearing her mother and Evan exchange words.
"I'm underage? I'm almost 22 years old, alright!" She could only scold them in her heart, too lazy to bother these two people talking about her.
Molly laughs, looking at Evan.
"Hahaha, alright, you can bring her home before midnight…my daughter is no longer a teenager. She is an adult now…." Molly's words made Evan feel happy.
"I will, Aunty. I will bring her home before midnight." Evan smiled widely. He could imagine spending his night with Rose in his place. This is their first date as a couple. He will be looking forward to it.
"What are you thinking, Rose?" Evan glanced at Rose, who was sitting beside him. She had been staring out the car window without saying a word since they left her house.
Rose snapped out of her thought. She looked at Evan with her mind full of her future plan.
"I was thinking about where I should live in the capital later…." She took a deep sigh before continuing her words. "Time flies so fast. It doesn't feel like two months from now we will graduate."
Evan glanced at Rose quickly, "I told you before, I will take care of everything…."
"Evan, I know you will help me with my trading account registry, and I'm really thankful for that. But for a place to live, I think… I better handle myself. I'm worried about your family… " Rose felt terrible having to reject Evan.
However, Rose didn't want Evan's family to know that their son provided a home for a woman. Her reputation as Evan's girlfriend would be tarnished in the eyes of his family, especially his mother. She knows who his family is and how far the gap between them is.
Evan was stunned by what she thought.
Did she already know about my family? Instantly Evan felt worried.
"Rose…" Evan slightly looked at her. "I just prepared a place for you to live, not living with you. If you want us to live together once we move to the capital, that's fine with me. I am actually looking forward to it."
"Evan! I'm serious right now..." Rose was speechless.
"So do I. I mean every word!"
Rose could only shake her head. Feeling hopeless talking to Evan. Now she just realized that this man was so persistent in his stance. If he wants something, he will go after it. No wonder he can wait years to date her. She felt pleased with his determination.
"Fine! You provide my place to stay. But, I have to pay…." She faintly smiled at him.
Evan smiles widely, feeling happy because Rose didn't refuse his offer. He has plenty of property in the capital, so he will ask his people to immediately renovate a unit for her.
Soon their car entered the basement parking lot of Highland Apartment. This apartment is located not far from Rose's house, only 5 minutes away and a walk distance from B University.
Rose had visited Evan's apartment before, along with several friends. They come to study assignments together.
She didn't believe she would come back again as Evan's girlfriend at this time. She felt a bit odd, but she was also thrilled in her heart. This is the first time she has visited a man's apartment. Even though she was close to Dustin in her previous life, she never came to his house because Dustin still lives with his parents. He never brings her to his home until they are engaged.
Instantly Rose felt goosebumps. The image of Evan hugging and kissing her flashed through her mind and made her cheek feel warm.
"Why does your face turn red, Rose? Are you sick?" Evan worried when he saw Rose's face turn red as they got into the elevator. He touched her forehead, but he didn't feel her body temperature rising.
"I'm fine! I just feel a little hot… looks like the air conditioner in this elevator isn't working!" Rose immediately answered Evan while hiding her blushing face.
How could she think about romance when she visited the home of a young man like Evan? If only Evan could read her mind, he'd be happy to grant her wish, right? Gosh!
"Rose!"
"Hmm?"
"Are you afraid to visit my apartment?" Evan could guess how tense Rose was by his side.
Instantly Rose was shocked.
"Can Evan read my mind?" She thought. She quickly saw Evan, who was staring at her.
"N-No, Evan. Why should I?" She lied. Deep down in her heart, she feels tense.
Even though she had been intimate with a man in her past life, now it is different. She felt tense just standing so close to Evan. Especially when they were alone in this vast apartment. They are both adults, and of course, when they are dating, they will do something more than hold hands or hug, right?
