The Lucky Wife novel Chapter 216

"No, Swallow City."

“Why did President Severe come all the way here? Why didn’t you start your business somewhere closer to home?” Rose Loyle asked.

“I wanted to transfer the crisis of my family business… ” Before Zayne had a chance to finish, Francis started coughing continuously.

Zayne quickly changed the topic. "I want to build an empire of my own."

“Is President Severe married?”

“Not yet.”

“Aren’t your parents anxious?”

“No, but my grandfather is. He’s so anxious that he fell ill.”

When Rose heard that her grandfather was sick, there was a slightly dumbfounded look in her eyes.

Her grandfather had always been strong and healthy. Why did he suddenly fall ill?

“Is the old man okay?” she asked worriedly.

Francis glanced at her from the rearview mirror, assessing Rose’s every move. Her concern for Old Man Severe seemed genuine.

Zayne suddenly became crestfallen and said gloomily, “Ever since my younger sister passed away, the old man fell ill from all the grief. He hasn't been able to recover since.”

When Rose heard that, she felt her heart clench.

Rose had chosen an ordinary Chinese restaurant and ordered some regular home-cooked dishes. Zayne and Francis stared at her, dumbfounded.

“Miss Loyle, you like these home-cooked dishes?”

Just when the two people were starting to grow suspicious of Rose’s humble taste, Rose explained. “I don’t like wasting the company’s money.”
