Chapter 187: Sudden Change

Anthony was stunned to hear Marcel’s question. For a slight second, he paused,

"No. That woman never married, but I just met her daughter, and she is a beautiful daughter. And now her daughter has become my daughter-in-law!" Anthony Collins wanted to say that, but he stopped. He will tell Marcel when they meet. That man must be shocked if he tells him now.

"She is not married!" He said as his mind bothered with Jamie Stone’s presence near Molly. According to his investigation, Jamie Stone is Molly’s best friend, and they are so close to each other, like brother and sister. But something strange happened when he saw how Jamie looked at Molly. Like he holds a deep feeling toward her.

"Anthony, we should meet! Where are you now? I will come to you now! This is urgent. And, do call the first brother." Marcel said.

"I did call him, but he didn’t answer..."

"Mm... let’s meet first then!"

"Fine! In the usual place at 4 PM. You try to call the first brother!"

Anthony Collins stood in his place without moving; he stared at his black screen phone silently. His mind flew to twenty-three years ago in the North City. That time, he and two of his best friends accidentally meet Molly, the innocent girl from East City. That girl could attract their attention. She is beautiful.

Now, many years have passed, and her beauty has not changed. Even now, she turned into a formidable woman different from the innocent girl he saw.

What’s bothering Anthony Collins right now; Molly has a daughter at the age of twenty-two. And from the results of his investigation, Molly was never married since she had Rose until now.

Suddenly, Anthony Collins’ whole body shivered, imagining Rose’s birth father was the person in his mind. If what he thought was true, then he was in big trouble.

How could he have the courage to refuse to be Rose Wilson’s father-in-law!?

He will make it right! Rose Wilson is the right woman for his son. Instantly, his evil-plan that he wanted to make his son and Rose break up vanishes from his mind. The father will atone for all his mistakes by doting on his daughter-in-law. He couldn’t bear to make a wrong impression on the girl.

Anthony Collins walked over to the patio, and he was surprised to see his son, as well as Rose, sitting with the others. He walked fast to greet his daughter-in-law cheerfully.

"Daughter-in-law, you should rest longer, so you don’t get tired easily...." Anthony Collins’ cheerful voice echo made everyone on the patio surprised. Especially Evan and Arthur, they never hear him speak like that, gentle and warm like when the spring breeze first appeared after cold winter.

"Did my father drink a potion that made him lose his memory!?" Evan mutters in his heart as he glances at his father, trying to see his sincerity. It didn’t take him long to find out that, at this time, his father was really saying that from the bottom of his heart. He is sincere!

Evan was stunned beyond words. Something is not correct. Why on earth does this old man change so fast? He instantly looked in the direction his father received a call from earlier. Evan really wondered if someone had just hit his father’s head, and now he had lost his memories and accepted Rose just like that!?

Not only Evan, who was confused about how Anthony Collins behaved toward her but Rose too. She was confused when she saw this charismatic man change abruptly. Rose no longer felt any pressure from him that previously made her suffocate. Now, she felt a genuine warmth and sincere smile and tone from him.

Rose stood from her seat to greet him, "Sir, I’m fine...."

"Daughter, stop calling me sir." Rose was stunned hearing that. She could only nod when Anthony rubbed the top of her hair gently. "From now on, call me father. Can you do that, Rose?" Anthony titles his head slightly to see Rose’s shy face.

"Y-Yes, F-Father...." Rose’s voice was awkward because this was the first time she had called someone by the name ’Father.’ It feels like something tickled her heart. She can’t find the words to describe her feelings now.

"That’s good. That sounds good. Alright, seat again... don’t bother me." Anthony then looked at his father. "Father, I will excuse myself. I have important things to do at the office."

Arthur, observing his son’s strangeness, could only nod. "Mmm, you can go!"

"Son, I will go now...." Anthony turned his back, looking at his son standing beside him. "Take care of your wife, never bully her, or I will break your leg! Father will go now. And I will make arrangements for our family dinner." He said and walked toward the house. He can’t wait any longer; he will go to meet Marcel Quinn.

Rose felt like deja vu hearing Evan’s father’s words earlier. She heard Grandpa Arthur tell her like that too. She just silently smiles, looking at her father-in-law walking fast to the house.

Everyone in that place was still in a daze looking at the back of Anthony Collins disappearing behind the door.

Jamis Stone, who didn’t know that there was something odd with the Collins family, spoke first.

"Rose, I and your mother will not stay here for long. We will go to the East in a few hours." Rose looked at Jamie Stone with her sad look. It seemed she was still not satisfied with meeting her mother, but she couldn’t hold them to stay longer. "Don’t be sad, Rose. Your mother will move here in a few weeks...." Jamie Stone slightly chuckled when he saw Rose’s teary eyes.

"Little girl, what your uncle Jamie said is true. Your mother will come back here for good. So no need to be sad...." Arthur Collins also helped to make Rose feel better after he saw how sad her face was now.

"Y-Yes, grandpa, uncle Jamie... I understand," Rose softly said while trying to hold back her tears.
