Chapter 527 Planning To Divorce

Clover continued his relentless monologue, barely pausing for breath. Rose was a bit overwhelmed, and even Emily, who had just caught up, couldn't help but chuckle. The two women exchanged amused glances, their smiles mirroring each other. Noticing their mirth, Clover frowned and delivered another light tap on Rose's forehead. "What's so funny? I'm giving you advice, and you're not even taking it seriously!"

"I'm listening!" Rose protested, rubbing the sore spot on her forehead.

However, Clover remained unconvinced. "I don't think you're actually paying attention."

Rose contemplated Clover's words, understanding his genuine concern for her well-being. Still, something nagged at her. "Harriette..." she muttered.

While she couldn't define her feelings toward the woman, there was no denying the sympathy Harriette's raspy voice evoked. "She must have endured a lot over the years." Clover, however, remained skeptical. "If she really suffered that much, she would have returned sooner. Why wait until now?"

He refused to believe that Harriette's sudden reappearance was solely due to Oliver's passing.

"In any case, just keep your distance from her," Clover reiterated firmly.

Knowing she couldn't win this argument, Rose quickly nodded. "Alright, alright. I'll keep my distance."

Finally sensing her sincerity, Clover finally relaxed. Just then, his car pulled up to the curb.

"Get in," he instructed.

"Okay, Clo!" Rose replied sweetly.

Linking her arm with Rose's, Emily couldn't resist teasing them. "Tsk, someone's turned into a real control freak now that he's a big brother. Looks like you've lost your freedom, Rosie!"

He didn't see himself as a control freak. As Rose's brother, he felt responsible for every aspect of her life. Since this was his first time being an older brother, he was determined to be the best one in the world. Rose and Emily shared a knowing look before climbing into the car. As Rose settled into the car, her thoughts drifted back to the purpose of her visit-she had come to confront Anastasia about Kelly's whereabouts. However, after everything that had transpired, even if Anastasia hadn't fled, she doubted the woman would have willingly given her any information. It seemed she would have to find another opportunity. Just then, a figure outside the car window caught her eye, and her heart skipped a beat. It was
