As Rose arrived at the kindergarten, her phone rang. It was an unknown number, but she recognized it very well. It was Ricardo's private number. Even after all this time, his number remained the same.
That man had an attachment to things that had lasted with him for a long time. No wonder he could easily discard her back then when Diana returned to his life.
The memories of what happened returned to her. She still remembered the pain from falling off the cliff. It made her stomach turn.
Mum, why aren't you picking up the call? Ivy asked her with a curious gaze. The other children were staring at her as well. They were so cute. All the pain disappeared from her chest just by looking at them.
Yes, she was no longer alone. She had her children with her and life was working in her favor. She shouldn't be upset over it for so long.
Rose clicked on the red button and refused the call before responding to her children.
Hm, I think this is one of those insurance calls. You know how much I hate listening to their pitch. She smiled.
Ah, yes, they can be annoying. Evan replied as he placed his bag on the bottom of the car seat.
Mum, just give me the list of numbers you don't like, and I can make you a program to intercept those numbers. So you don't have to deal with them anymore! Eric added casually. For the genius little hacker, it was a piece of cake. He had done so much more complex things before, after all.
Rose didn't quite understand it at first. She thought he was just kidding and tilted her head a little bit in confusion. But then she went along with it.
Baby, besides intercepting those numbers, can you also prepare a funeral home number?
What do you need it for, mum? Eric asked. The other children also stared curiously.
So it's going to be easier to cremate them later if they keep on disturbing me. All the children giggled from hearing that. They gave her thumbs up and a nod of approval.
Mum, you are so savage! So cool! Ivy praised her. After Rose rejected his call for the first time, Ricardo tried calling her several more times, but his calls couldn't reach her. It always said she was out of service range. Rico saw his boss getting agitated and explained that his number was probably blocked by her. How can she block me? He asked, baffled by the thought.
Ricardo was frustrated. It was the first time someone had blocked his calls, especially a woman. If it was Rose Davis, she would surely pick up his call within seconds.
Why did he suddenly think of Rose again? He had long forgotten about her.
Perhaps it was because each time he saw Sapphire, she reminded her a bit of Rose. It was her amber eyes that looked strikingly similar.
He knew these two were completely different people. Her mannerisms and character were the polar opposite of Rose. He just couldn't help the connection he had.
Rico was amazed as he watched from the side. He had never seen such a scenario before.
Sapphire was just a small artist. She was not a Hollywood star either, but she dared to treat Ricardo Croft like that. That woman was truly fierce and audacious.
He made a mental note not to mess with her later if they ever met again.
Ricardo had just lit up his cigar when the door burst open and Diana entered the room with tears in her eyes.
You have to know about Anisa- She started talking and complaining about Anisa for several minutes. He was not listening to her. His mind was occupied elsewhere. Mostly with the thought of Sapphire.
Suddenly, there was a call from Victoria to confirm their reservation. It was put on speaker mode and Diana heard it. The tears stopped flowing from her eyes and a huge smile formed on her face.
Ricardo, did you make a reservation in Victoria? Ah, I didn't think you already had a plan to cheer me up like this. She walked over to his side and grabbed his arms lovingly.
Yes, I did. Do you like it? He put on a sudden smile and Diana nodded.
Of course, it's our favorite restaurant! I can't wait! She squealed like a little girl.
Victoria was an exclusive fine dining restaurant favored by the wealthy in New York. Getting a reservation alone was difficult, so it would be a shame to waste it.
Rose had arrived in Victoria to meet up with Edgar.
Sorry I'm late. Have you been waiting for a long time? The children kept me a little occupied. She asked him as soon as she arrived. The handsome blue-eyed, blonde man shook his head and smiled at her.
No, I just arrived as well. Don't worry about it. They ordered their food and, when it arrived, Edgar offered to cut her favorite dish. Wagyu steak, medium rare. Rose stared as he cut it for her when her gaze suddenly fell on the door. Two people entered the room, causing the smile to fade from her face. It was Diana and Ricardo.
