Chapter 436: Chapter 436

"Sweetheart, thank goodness you’re back. Where did that Clark take you this time?"

Louisa, sitting on the couch, quickly got up to greet Rosemary as she walked in.

When she had called and messaged her earlier, she hadn’t gotten any response for a while. Louisa was worried something had happened to her daughter.

"Clark and I just went out. I didn’t check my phone," Rosemary explained softly.

"As long as you’re safe," Louisa said before turning to Clark, "Young man, look at the time! You can’t just keep your sister out late! If you want to party, that’s one thing, but a young lady should get her beauty sleep. Can’t you keep track of time?"

"It was my idea to go out," Rosemary defended. "It wasn’t Clark’s fault."

Louisa turned back to Clark, "You see, your sister defends you, even after she asked you out to bond. You better treat her right!"

Clark, carrying bags of late-night snacks, just smiled, "Got it, Mom. I brought food, let’s eat."

"I can’t, and I’ve been doing yoga with Romeo’s mom, trying to lose weight."

"Then I should support my wife. You two enjoy," Kenneth led her upstairs, advising, "Don’t worry too much about the kids. They’re just out having fun and brought some food back. Let’s head upstairs."

"I had a bad feeling. I thought something happened to them."

Clark brought the snacks to the kitchen. The servants arranged everything onto eleven large plates.

Serena, who had been waiting upstairs for a while, came down when Clark didn’t show up. She found them in the dining area.

Clark was just serving Rosemary some tarts, mumbling, "Eat more."

"Clark, Rose, you’re back?" Serena hid her jealousy behind a bright smile. "So much food. Can anyone join?"

"Serena? Come, join us. I brought a lot," he got up to pull a chair out for her and got her utensils.

Serena shot a glance at Rosemary. So she not only snatched Clark but also brought these "trophies" to show off? Cunning girl!

"Serena, eat up," Clark served her a few tarts, then turned to Rosemary, "How is it?"

Rosemary nodded, "It’s good."

"Eat more, then," Clark put more on her plate. He felt a pang of sympathy when he remembered how she had been busy all day.

"These are good too. Try them," he added more to her plate.

Serena’s eyes flashed with displeasure. Clark had only served her four, but he had given Rosemary seven!

"Clark, you should eat while it’s hot," Rosemary advised.

"I’m not hungry." Clark felt guilty and served her some more food, including crispy sausage. He even got her a piece of beef sausage as well, worrying she might not be full.

Rosemary had been hungry all day, yet she had spent hours in the laboratory. If he hadn’t heard her stomach growling, would she have gone without eating tonight?

"Clark, this is for you," Rosemary picked up one and put it onto Clark’s plate.

Clark felt touched but also more guilty, "Eat more, I’m not hungry."

Mid-meal, Rosemary suddenly remembered she’d forgotten to call Romeo. She took out her phone and sent him a message.

[I’m home now. Go to sleep early. Goodnight.]

Within seconds, Romeo replied, [You’re going to sleep?]

[Yes.]

[I see you’re enjoying your meal.]

Rosemary looked up at the message, "Clark, did you tell Romeo we’re having a midnight snack?"

"Yeah, he asked if we were home, and I said we were, having a late-night snack."

"And you sent him my photo?"

"Yep." Clark showed her the picture, "Look at you all chubby from eating, so cute."

[So, you lied about going to bed just to have a midnight snack with Clark?] Romeo texted with a sad emoji.

All Rosemary could reply was, [I’ll go to bed right after I shower.]

[Are you tired today?]

[Yeah, a bit.]

Serena noticed Rosemary constantly typing. Oh, that attitude, as if she wanted to make it clear that she was chatting with Romeo!

What was she showing off?

She even purposely mentioned Romeo’s name, as if she was announcing to the world that she was chatting with Romeo!

After a while, Rosemary finished her snack and stood up, "I’m full."

Serena thought she finally had a chance to be alone with Clark. Her eyes lit up, but before she could express her joy—

"Rose, wait." Clark hadn’t finished eating yet, but seeing his sister getting up, he quickly stood up too, "I’m done too. I’ll walk you upstairs."

Rosemary was a bit puzzled.

Serena didn’t expect Clark to be so clingy to Rosemary and suddenly felt unhappy!

"I forgot to ask you a question earlier." After leaving the dining area and making sure no one was around, Clark whispered, "You said your skills were taught by those old men. Are they masters in their fields?"

"Yep." Rosemary nodded, not understanding why Clark suddenly asked this question.

"So, your fighting skills were also taught by one of them?"

Rosemary immediately reacted, "Did Jack tell you something?"

"No, he didn’t say anything. I hacked into his phone and saw the video of you fighting with those guys."

Now, it made sense to Rosemary. That big mouth—he must have told Clark about her installing surveillance at Carol’s house. Otherwise, how would Clark know there were surveillance videos on his phone and even hack into it to see?

So, the picture of the beautiful woman that Clark sent to Jack was not to introduce him to a girl, but to a virus.

Just to hack his phone.

"Rose, when was your gang established?" Clark asked again.

Did Jack also mention the gang?

Right now, Rosemary just wanted to wring his neck.

"Jack didn’t really say anything. It’s just that I saw those guys calling you boss and they all had weapons." Clark couldn’t help but ask, "I don’t want to pry into your past. I just want to know if you’re safe now. Do you need more people to protect you?"

"No need." Rosemary smiled slightly, "Don’t worry, Clark, I’m doing just fine."

"So, what does your gang do?"

"Well, we protect the weak and also some medicinal plants."
