Rosalie was washing vegetables when the doorbell rang.
Yerick walked to the door with the baby in his arms. Through the peephole, he saw an old lady of around 60 to 70 years old standing right outside. She had a very commanding aura about her.
Rosalie walked out of the kitchen and asked, Who is it?
I don’t know her. It’s an old lady. Should I open the door? Yerick said.
Rosalie walked to the door in doubt and looked through the peephole. When she saw the woman standing outside, she was shocked.
Wasn’t that Chandra? What was she doing here? Was she here to cause trouble for Justin?
Chandra lifted a hand to knock on the door this time. I heard you talking. Open up!
Rose, who is she? Yerick asked.
She’s Seb’s grandmother, Rosalie said. Let me handle this.
Instead of opening the door, Rosalie asked through it, Miss Fisher, what brings you here? If you’re here to cause trouble, please forget about it. Let’s not waste each other’s time.
I’m not here to cause trouble. I came here to look for you regarding something else.
What is it? If it’s about what happened last time…
It’s not, Chandra said, cutting Rosalie off. If I wanted to settle scores over what happened in the private room, I’d have done so long ago. I wouldn’t come looking for you after so many days. That incident is over in my books. I came here for something else. I came alone, and no one’s with me. Don’t worry.
Was she really alone? Rosalie couldn’t quite tell through the peephole. After pondering for a moment, she decided to open the door anyway. As Chandra claimed, she stood all alone outside.
What do you have to say? Rosalie demanded.
Chandra saw another man in Rosalie’s apartment. Who’s this kid? He’s pretty young and good-looking.
Chandra walked in unceremoniously.
He’s a friend, Rosalie said. It’s none of your business. What did you come here for?
I have something to discuss with you. Just between the two of us. She glanced at Yerick and went on, Outsiders shouldn’t be around.
Rosalie scoffed. I’m sorry, but you’re the outsider here.
Yerick was so elated to hear Rosalie say that, he smiled proudly.
I
Chandra wasn’t angry at Rosalie’s words and said, What I’m going to tell you is only appropriate for the two of us to hear. I don’t have a problem if you insist on him being here, but it won’t be ideal for him knowing too much.
With that, Chandra glanced coldly at Yerick.
Rosalie knew Chandra wasn’t one to be trifled with, and was worried about implicating Yerick. After pondering for a moment, she said to Yerick Yerry, could you bring Steve out for some fresh air please?
Rose, will you be fine alone here? Yerick asked worriedly.
I’ll be fine, don’t worry. I’ll call you once I’m done.
Alright, then. I’ll take Steve out for some fun and come back later.
After Yerick left with Steve, Rosalie and Chandra were left in the living room.
Miss Fisher, please be quick and don’t drag things out unnecessarily, Rosalie said.
Chandra pulled out a gold trinket and asked, This is yours, isn’t it?
Rosalie took it, vaguely recognizing it as an ornament on her bag. She probably dropped it in the private room last time.
This isn’t anything valuable. There’s no need for you to come all the way here to deliver it to me, Miss Fisher.
Rosalie found Chandra’s visit today very strange. What else would she be here for if not to cause trouble?
Don’t look at me like that. I won’t
devour you whole, Chandra said as she sat down. You and my
yel
grandson were married once. Can’t I get to know you better?
