Chapter 460

Chapter 460

Roseanne was already on the express train back to Pinehollow.

Grandma Joie was turning eighty, and the Cole brothers had decided to throw a grand bash for Joie.

Of course, that meant the younger generation, including Roseanne, were expected to make the journey back home.

The dates were set well in advance, spanning three days that weren't holidays, so she had no choice but to request time off.

Madeleine Payne was still abroad at a conference, making her unavailable due to the time difference. Instead of calling, Roseanne opted to send an email requesting leave in advance. Fortunately, Madeleine was understanding, not only granting the leave but also sending along some warm wishes for Grandma Joie.

At two in the afternoon, the express train pulled into the station.

Madge was there to pick her up in the car.

"Where's Dad?" Roseanne asked, looking around the car and finding his absence peculiar.

Madge had a driver's license but disliked driving, so these "menial tasks" usually fell to Norris Cole.

Why not today, though?

Madge sighed, "Your dad's busy."
