Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife -

Chapter 183: Chapter 183
At high noon, the restaurant staff nearly dropped their utensils in shock when they saw Hunter and Rosemary strut in together.
Mr. Collins still hasn’t left the company? He’s still eating lunch with Ms. Rose?
Did he really have a thing for Ms. Rose, just like the rumors suggest?
But there’s at least a six- or seven–year age gap between them!
Was this a classic case of an older guy chasing after a younger girl?
"He seems really gentle when he’s chatting with Ms. Rose."
Hunter leaned in to listen to Rosemary, gave a nod, said a few words to the cafeteria staff, and then helped Rosemary with her food. He took it to the table first, letting her sit and wait.
"Mr. Collins is such a gentleman! Helping Ms. Rose with her food before getting his own. No trouble at all."
"Rose!!"
At this point, Molly, who had just gotten her food, saw Rosemary sitting alone at the table. She joyfully carried her tray and sat next to her. "Why are you alone? Did Mr. Collins leave?"
No sooner had she said this than she saw Hunter approaching them with his tray.
"Mr. Collins?" Molly was surprised. "Did I take your seat? Sorry, I’ll just"
"It’s okay; let’s eat together."
Hunter sat across from Rosemary, wiped his hands with a sanitizing wipe, and began peeling shrimp.
"Mr. Collins, do you like shrimp too? Just like Rose, you guys both love seafood."
"I’m peeling them for her." Hunter placed the peeled shrimp one by one on Rosemary’s plate and said,
"Eat up; I ordered all these dishes for you."
None of the dishes he liked were ordered.
"Rose, your brother is so good to you." Molly couldn’t help but say, "Mr. Collins, you should try our cafeteria food. Ever since Rose revamped the cafeteria, the food here is so much better. Fresh,
delicious, and cheap!"
"Really?" Hunter placed the peeled shrimp into Rosemary’s bowl and said, "I’ll give it a try later."
He turned to Rosemary and gave her a small smile, saying, "Your staff speaks highly of you."
"Molly is my good friend, not just a staff member."
Their relationship had already surpassed that of boss and employee.
"Well, invite your good friend over to our place sometime." Having finished peeling the shrimp, Hunter added a piece of meat to Rosemary’s bowl.
"You should eat too." Rosemary was worried his food would get cold.
"Just seeing you enjoy your food makes me happy, and it increases my appetite. I’ll surely eat more than you later."
Hunter didn’t stop what he was doing; instead, he said, "I might come back late from this trip abroad. Take care of yourself and go shopping or watch movies with your good friend when you’re bored. All
expenses are on me. If there’s anything you can’t handle, call me."
"Okay." Rosemary responded and ordered a steak for Hunter, urging him to eat.
Hunter’s eyes softened; his little sister was ordering food for him! That’s a treatment no other brother got!
Suddenly, he felt like creating a chat group just to show off to everyone else.
"I’ll be back to keep you company soon." Hunter said after finishing his meal, "Your brother David will be back in a few days. He’s blunt, so if he unintentionally hurts you or makes you feel wronged, tell me. I’ll
sort him out."
When Molly heard the news, she was freaked out big time Mr Collins’s kindness and strictness were all too real, they were beyond imagination!
He could scold his own brother without any hesitation, that was simply horrifying!
"David is coming back?" Rosemary was a bit surprised
"Yeah, not sure when, though, don’t bother about him" Hunter put some fish onto Rosemary’s plate, thinking to himself, No more chances to help his sister from now on, David really hit the jackpot!
"That’s too much, I can’t finish it’ Rosemary didn’t want him to add more to her plate. "If you’re not eating,neither am I."
"Okay Seeing the shrimps were mostly peeled, Hunter wiped his hands with a disinfectant wipe and said,
"I’ll wash my hands first, then I’ll add some soup for you, then I’ll eat"
After Hunter left, Molly couldn’t help but nudge Rosemary with her elbow: "Oh my God, I’ve never seen Mr.Collins this gentle before. Rose, you’re so lucky to have such a good big brother, he defended you in
front of everyone last time, and now he’s peeling shrimp for you. I wish I had a big brother like that!"
"Your mom is good to you too, isn’t she?" Rosemary gently smiled; this kind of affection and care from family was something she hadn’t experienced in the Harris family for eighteen years, except for a bit of warmth from Grannie Grace.
The employees around were all discussing,
"Mr. Collins must like Ms. Rose! I bet ten bucks!"
"Some colleague wrote a love letter to Ms. Rose in an email this morning; he was immediately transferred to another subsidiary after Mr. Collins found out! Isn’t that enough to prove Mr. Collins’s
feelings?"
"Yes, it’s all so obvious; I can’t wait to see their sweet moments!"
"Will the company give us a day off if they get married?"
"So jealous of Ms. Rose, I wish Mr. Collins would be that gentle with me."
Hunter brought a bowl of soup to Rosemary, shared a lot of his food with her, and then started eating.
Halfway through, he suddenly asked, "Rose, do you have a favorite flower?"
"Flower?" Rosemary was taken aback. "Marigold, I guess."
What was he asking for?
"Shall I have someone plant marigolds around your balcony? "
This way, when he’s abroad, she would think of him when she saw these flowers.
He’s afraid she’ll forget him when her other brothers come back!
Rosemary had no idea what he was thinking; she just nodded, "Okay."
She thought he was acting a bit strange all of a sudden.
After lunch, Rosemary went back to the office, and Julian immediately put the purchased items in front of her.
"Ms. Rose, these are some newly bought coffee beans; would you like to try them?"
"Coffee sounds nice."
"Til brew it for you right away!"
After Julian made the coffee, he brought a cup to Hunter and one to Rosemary and said, "Ms. Rose, have a taste; how’s the flavor? Is it too bitter? Do you need some sugar?"
"It’s fine; you go do your work." After Rosemary said that, she looked at Hunter sitting on the sofa and couldn’t help but ask, "Do you really like this brand of coffee that much?"
"Yes, this coffee has a rich flavor without being bitter, and the aroma is fragrant without being greasy, truly a rare taste." Hunter replied gently, "You should have a
taste"
After that, he turned to Julian and asked, "Have you told them yet?"
"Yes. I’ve informed the procurement department that from now on, Ms. Rose’s coffee will be sent directly from the headquarters; there is no need for the procurement department to buy it separately."
"Hmm" Hunter lifted his coffee for a sip
