Chapter 380 The End of the Month

I remained silent.

What were these two talking about? Couldn’t they change the subject?

Pretending I hadn’t heard a thing, I lowered my head and focused on taking Richard’s pulse.

A few minutes later, I gently set his hand down and let out a long breath. “Mr. Richard, your pulse is steady. Other than being physically weak from this prolonged lness, there’s nothing major to worry about. It’s nothing that proper care and rest won’t fix.”

“Rosie, you’ve worked so hard for me.” Richard took my hand, sighing with emotion.

I held his hand and smiled. “This isn’t hard at all. Don’t worry, Mr. Richard. As long as I’m here, I’ll make sure you live a long and healthy life.”

“Longevity isn’t what I’m aiming for,” Richard chuckled, stroking his beard. “What I truly want is to see you and Caden get married and give me a great–grandson before I go.”

Then, as if worried I’d misunderstand, he quickly added. “A great–granddaughter would be just as wonderful!”

I felt my face heat up. “Mr. Richard, isn’t it a little too soon for that?”

“It’s not too soon at all.” Caden took a step closer, looking down at me with a serious expression. “I can’t wait a second longer.”

I wanted to disappear.

The moment Leslie brought up the engagement, Richard practically beamed with joy. “That’s wonderful! Once they’re engaged, the wedding won’t be far behind.

I instinctively glanced at Caden, only to meet his affectionate gaze.

“Rosie, leave the engagement arrangements to us,” Richard reassured me. “You don’t need to worry about anything.”
