Reborn [Jirose Adoption ]

Chap185-My little girl

She was deep in thought when Ryujin entered, carrying a large bouquet of red roses and a small, delicate gift bag. She placed the two things on Roseanne's desk.

Roseanne had yet to return to herself fully. When she saw the large bouquet, she lifted her head. "What is this?"

"Someone sent this over earlier. They said it was for you. I've checked it. There's nothing wrong with it." Ryujin looked at her.

"For me?" Roseanne pointed at the roses, looking suspicious.

Ryujin nodded, and without saying more, she turned to leave.

"Wa! Aren't there at least several hundred roses in there?" Felix leaned on Roseanne's desk enviously. "Who sent them for you? It's so romantic! Could it be President Park?"

How could Roseanne possibly know who had sent them.

It wasn't her birthday, nor was it a special occasion or an anniversary. Furthermore, she had only just visited the police station in the afternoon. Only a few hours had passed since Park Jimin sent her back to the studio. Why would he suddenly send her presents and flowers? It was not as if he had multiple personality disorder!

Roseanne suspiciously raised the large bouquet. The tender and alluring roses carried their unique fragrance. Every flower seemed to be delicately picked. With just one glance, she could tell they were of one of the finest breeds. Not only were they definitely expensive, but they were also packed to endear to the hearts of young women. They were wrapped with pink packaging.

This color...

Roseanne could not help but recall the pink gown Mark Tuan had previously prepared for her.

Many years ago, whenever the teenage her accompanied Lin Mason to large events, she would always be dressed in pink. No matter if it was her gown, shoes, or bag, they were all pink. Back then, she was indeed a young lady who adored pink. She lost the bias for that color over time.

This bouquet was not accompanied by a card. She could not see the sender's name or a message.

She casually took up the delicate gift bag by the side, opening it to find a square gift box. After unwrapping the box, she found the white packaging for a branded, luxury, handmade leather watch.

It contained the latest Van Cleef & Arpels women's watch in pink color. When Roseanne saw the image on the watch's face, her expression immediately turned unhappy.

She found a card inside the box and flipped it over to see a message written in black ink.

[Van Cleef & Arpels' Lovers Bridge; It's the most romantic watch in the world. The little boy points toward the minutes, while the little girl points toward the hour. With every passing minute and second, they move closer to each other. The little boy is urgently counting down the minutes, while the little girl is calmly counting down the hours. As they approach midnight, they share one minute of embrace.

-Wishing you all the best, my little girl.]

The sender did not leave his name on the card.

However, Roseanne could recognize Mark Tuan's handwriting. Several years ago, she had seen his writing when he lived in the Lin family. Afterward, when Lisa was hospitalized, she had also seen the diagnosis and medical history he had written.

"Such a beautiful watch, ah!" Felix exclaimed loudly by the side. After seeing the logo, he appeared even more starstruck. "My god! It's actually this brand! It's really expensive, ah!"

Before Felix could even finish his words, he watched in shock as Roseanne shoved the large bouquet into the trash bin. She then pushed the gift box away from herself.

"Do you like it? I'll give it to you."

"..."

Three droplets of sweat rolled down his forehead. Such... s-s-such an expensive thing, how could he dare to take it?

Roseanne glanced at the watch box and heaved a deep sigh.

Several days ago, she had returned home to expose Choi Clare's mask. Today, Mark Tuan abruptly sent her flowers and a gift. What was he trying to say?

Was he using such a method to greet her? Or was he declaring war?

Was he informing her that he was upset she had destroyed his plans?

Sending this so-called 'lovers bridge'; was he intentionally trying to disgust her?

The entire office was filled with the fragrance of the roses. Roseanne was originally unaffected by these things, but after a moment, she abruptly stood up. She opened the door and called Felix over.

"Throw the flowers out and ventilate the office well. Call me back when the fragrance dissipates."

After finishing her words, she walked out.

Felix was dumbstruck. Right now, he did not know who the sender was, nor why Roseanne was so upset about receiving these things; Roseanne appeared as though she had swallowed a bug.

He did not dare to disobey and swiftly followed Roseanne's orders to throw the flowers out. He then turned on the humidifier and opened the windows.

When he turned back to see the watch box, he felt that this thing was truly too expensive. If Boss Lin insisted on having him take it, he would not know what to do with it. Thus, he decisively shoved the item into Roseanne's bag and rubbed his hands in satisfaction before walking out of the office.

The consequences of the action Felix had taken to have peace of mind, was that Roseanne had unknowingly brought the watch home with her.

She only found out about it after her shower.

Park Jimin stepped out from the room next door and entered to see the handbag Roseanne had tossed on the bed. A white box was peeking out of it. His cold, deep brows furrowed.

He approached with his cold, handsome face, and upon seeing the watch box, he brought it out. The logo of Van Cleef & Arpels' Lovers Bridge—the luxury watch brand that had been famous in France for generations—was printed on the box.

He had taken the watch out for a look when the sound of running water stopped. Roseanne stepped out of the bathroom while rubbing her hair with a towel. When she saw the watch in his hand, she faltered in her steps. Her large, wide eyes stared at him before turning to the watch; she was clearly flabbergasted.

Why was the watch here?

Didn't she order Felix to handle it in the morning?

How did she end up bringing it back?

Roseanne placed the towel down and suddenly felt embarrassed.

The man stood right by the bedside, his heavy and cold gaze connecting with hers for several seconds.

"Who gifted it to you?" Park Jimin asked with his low, indifferent tone.

However, he clearly already knew the answer.

After all, Ryujin no longer dared to hide anything related to Roseanne from him. She must have already informed him about the gift Roseanne received today.

Although she did not intentionally bring it home, under his stare, Roseanne still felt that not throwing that watch directly out of Lin Building's window was her greatest mistake today!

Seeing that his gaze was still fixed on her, Roseanne grabbed her hair to say, "This type of gifts are often a one-sided thing. Also, I didn't plan on bringing this back at all. I wanted to let someone throw it out, but..."

Park Jimin mildly cut her off. "Who give this to you?!"

"...it was Mark Tuan."

Even though he had already known this, after hearing that name from her lips, the man's expression darkened.
