Rosette was still afraid of being adopted into a noble family. But her desire to change the future outweighed her fear.
Even if Duke Adrian took her in and made her do worse things than Duke Dallas, she resolved to protect him.
Selfishly, Rosette wanted to atone for her past in this way.
Duke Adrian, the director, and Daniel all wore expressions of surprise. The first to recover from the shock was Duke Adrian.
He approached Rosette, knelt on one knee, and carefully embraced her.
“Alright.”
He gently stroked her head.
“Welcome, Rosette.”
The staff of Duke Adrian’s mansion was busy from dawn. They had just received orders to clean the room next to the only daughter of the house, Isabelle.
The third-floor south corridor was a space used only by the direct descendants of the Adrian family. Why suddenly clean a room there, which wasn’t even a guest room?
Although puzzled, the staff couldn’t question the butler’s orders. They moved quietly and swiftly, so as not to wake the precious Isabelle, and tidied the room.
Hours later, as the room was finally in order, Isabelle, already dressed, came to see it.
“Is the room ready?”
Isabelle Adrian, with her fine platinum hair and purple eyes resembling the Duke’s, looked every bit an Adrian.
Only eleven years old, she seemed more imposing than cute.
Her cat-like purple eyes slowly scanned the room. The most experienced maid bowed before her.
“Yes, miss. We’ve just finished.”
“Good, it looks like it. Thank you.”
The maids exchanged glances.
Isabelle was clear on separating professional and personal boundaries, but she wasn’t a cold employer to the staff. She maintained a certain level of conversation with them.
The maids were confident that Isabelle wouldn’t get angry if they asked about their curiosity.
The lead maid hesitantly spoke on behalf of everyone.
“Miss, if I may ask…”
“Yes?”
“Is a guest coming?”
“Oh.”
Isabelle responded as casually as if she was commenting on the weather.
“It seems my sister is coming.”
“Master Lukas?”
“No. A new sister.”
The maids exchanged puzzled glances, and the butler approached Isabelle.
“Miss, the master and your eldest brother have returned.”
“Oh?”
Isabelle adjusted her shawl and signaled the maids with a glance.
“Let’s go.”
“To where?”
“I think my sister has arrived.”
Still clueless, the maids followed Isabelle. When they reached the mansion’s entrance, a grand carriage with the Adrian family crest stopped.
As the coachman opened the door, the Duke stepped out. The lined-up staff bowed in unison.
“Welcome back, master.”
“Thank you.”
The Duke greeted them with a smile and then reached into the carriage to lift someone out. A small, adorable girl with pink hair, even younger than the youngest, Lukas, emerged.
The girl rolled her round blue eyes, taking in her surroundings. Duke Adrian looked at her fondly and then introduced her to the staff.
“Let me introduce you. This is Rosette Adrian, who will be joining our Adrian family.”
The girl shyly bowed her head.
“Nice to meet you.”
The staff internally screamed in delight.
She’s so cute!
The very next day after Rosette declared she would become Duke Adrian’s foster daughter, she left the orphanage early in the morning. Duke Adrian and Daniel couldn’t leave the mansion empty any longer, which was the reason for her departure.
“Whaa, Rosette. You have to stay healthy, okay?”
Expecting Jane to send Rosette off with composure, she instead burst into tears and snot, hugging Rosette tightly. On the other hand, Rosette didn’t cry, just reddened her eyes.
After deciding to change the future of the Adrian family, she tried to act calmly.
‘I’m not a child.’
Her body might be of a seven-year-old, but her mind was that of an adult. She couldn’t forever weep and despair over the past.
It was time to move forward.
Instead of crying, Rosette smiled and bid Jane farewell.
“I’ll write to you, sister.”
“Sniff, but you can’t write.”
“I’ll learn.”
In truth, I can write really well now. You wouldn’t know, but I learned painfully well at the Dallas residence.
“Then you must write to me, okay?”
“Yep. And you write back. Don’t cry, okay?”
“Okay.”
“Come visit. I’ll ask them to make lots of delicious food.”
“You don’t have to invite me; just live well there.”
“Okay, I understand. I really have to go now.”
Rosette hugged Jane tightly one last time, then took her luggage and headed to Duke Adrian.
“Are you done saying goodbye?”
“Yes.”
“You don’t have much luggage.”
“No. I don’t have much to bring.”
Whatever I had was old and might not even be usable anymore. Duke Dallas once threw away my bag in front of me, saying trash like that should be discarded.
Duke Adrian carefully took the bag from Rosette.
Will he throw it away? Rosette tensed for a moment. But instead of discarding it, he placed the bag inside the carriage.
“We’ll need to get you more things at the mansion.”
Then he lifted Rosette into the carriage. She gasped in surprise.
On the opposite seat, the Duke asked, puzzled.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
