Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236: Chapter 236

Such a pricey item is rumored to only be passed on to the daughter–in–law.

Has Rosemary already won Shirley’s approval?

But she heard Shirley’s condition hasn’t gotten any better; could it be Phillip’s idea?

Who would have thought that Rosemary just got back to this family, not only loved by her parents but also favored by Phillip and Romeo? Look at Serena; the jealousy in her eyes was about to spill out.

Such a restless child.

"Romeo’s here?" Kenneth stood up cheerfully, signaling a seat beside him: "Come sit over here."

"Sorry, I got a bit held up. I’m late." Romeo said, then looked at Lucas and Beverly. He spoke with gentlemanly politeness, "I’m really sorry for keeping everyone waiting; I’ll punish myself with three glasses."

He picked up a glass of red wine from the table, poured it and drank it three times in a row.

Even though Kenneth and Louisa both said it wasn’t necessary, and even Lucas and Beverly tried to dissuade him, Romeo still finished all three glasses. His behavior was cold and noble, and his overwhelmingly strong aura coupled with a masculine charm was mesmerizing.

"What a polite kid!"

"He can really handle his wine–three glasses–and he’s not even blushing or out of breath. Romeo, sit down. You must be hungry." "Don’t wait for David; let’s start serving the food!"

"Brother–in–law, good evening." Serena greeted with clear ulterior motives. Dressed to impress, her goal was to catch Romeo’s eye. Alma also called out to Romeo, but he only nodded slightly; his gaze quickly moved to Rosemary, not lingering on them for long.

A flash of disappointment crossed Serena’s eyes.

"Romeo, I heard you’ve been really busy lately. No matter how busy you are, you must take care of your health. Even though you’re young now, being career–driven is good, but it’s not worth it if you end up like me, aching all over when you’re old! You need to rest more; health comes first!" Lucas said with a chuckle.

With a ladylike smile, Beverly said, "Romeo doesn’t need your reminders! He has a wife to take care of him."

"Hahaha, that’s true."

Beverly gently looked at Romeo, then at Rosemary, saying, "Romeo is handsome and hardworking; Rose is capable and stunningly beautiful. They’re a perfect match!"

"Indeed." Lucas laughed, "Romeo, my brother went through a lot to find his daughter; you better cherish her! Or we, the elders, won’t agree!"

"Don’t worry, I will cherish this fate and treat Rose well." As Romeo said this, he gave Rosemary a doting look.

Seeing the atmosphere heating up, Lucas changed the topic with a smile: "I heard you recently acquired several companies and bought the areas of Hollyfalls and Windhelm. Are you planning to build a residential district in Hollyfalls and a high–end department store in Windhelm?"

Before Lucas could finish, Kenneth interrupted with a laugh, saying, "Hey, let’s not talk about work today. You rarely come, and you’ve already had three glasses of wine. I should toast to you. You’ve been looking after Rose and busy with work; you’ve worked hard."

He poured a glass of wine, and Romeo did the same for himself. He raised his glass and poured a bit out, saying, "You’re too kind; I’m honored to take care of Rose."

"Haha, you’re quite the smooth talker."

Just as Kenneth was about to drink, Louisa and Rosemary simultaneously reminded him, "Don’t drink too much."

At this, Kenneth and Romeo both paused, then put their glasses down.

"We’re about to eat; let’s not drink just yet!" Kenneth laughed, clearly afraid of his wife.

He took off his sunglasses, all smiles and sunshine, and said, "Sorry I’m late!"

He greeted everyone cheerfully as he entered and then found Rosemary, ruffling her hair, saying, "Little sis, I’m here! Get me a seat!"

Originally, Kenneth was sitting next to Romeo, then Rosemary next to Romeo, and Serena next to Rosemary. But David insisted on squeezing in between Rosemary and Serena.

Actually, he wanted to sit between Romeo and Rosemary, but he was worried about the reactions from his parents and Romeo.

"Were you busy today, Rose?" David sat down, and before Rosemary could answer, he turned to Romeo and said, "Look at how hard Rose’s working running a company at such a young age; you should help her out."

"I’d like to."

But she wouldn’t let him, so all he could do was look for other ways to cooperate privately, which was tough.

"I can handle it." Rosemary was clearly defending Romeo.

The corners of Romeo’s lips lifted instantly; he could tell that Rosemary really cared for him!

"How about taking a break from work tomorrow? David can take you out." David was also hoping for a chance to get closer to his sister. Without waiting for Rosemary’s refusal, he whined, "In a few days, I’ll start working, and then you won’t see me for months."

"Then Rose’s ears will get a break." Romeo added. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"You can’t wait for me to leave!"

Alma noticed Serena’s awkward look. From the moment Romeo entered to David’s appearance, their attention was all on Rosemary, and no one gave Serena a second glance.
