Ch. 286..290: Rebirth_ Dancing In My Destiny Chapter 286-290

Chapter 286: Protective Father

Nicholas Spencer, who had only been listening to their conversation, finally spoke. "Daughter, I also find it strange why Evan and you don’t want to have children now. You two are mature and established. So, there’s no more reason to start having a small family, right?"

Rose was utterly speechless. She didn’t expect her teasing to turn against her. Several times she cursed herself in her mind for starting this conversation.

Now she had no choice but, to be honest with them.

She was silent for a moment, thinking about what she should say.

"Mom, Dad, In the past, I thought, I want to focus on growing my company, the Wilson Group, so that I can stand on an equal footing with Evan. That’s why I asked Evan to postpone having children. I still want to enjoy a childless marriage. After all, Evan and I are young. We’re still twenty-two. But, mm-mmm..." Before Rose could finish her sentence, her mother interrupted.

"Rose Spencer!! Mom, can’t believe you have such thoughts. Why do you want to prove to Evan that you can match him?" Molly was disappointed to hear her daughter’s irrational reasoning. "Does Evan love you? Why bother thinking like that?"

Rose was stunned. Did she misspeak? Again!? Damn it! She better shut her mouth. Gosh!

"Mom, that’s not what I meant...." She used to think so. But now that her true identity was revealed, she didn’t have to worry about that anymore. She’s the daughter of Nicholas Spencer, and now, her father-in-law, Anthony Collins liked her.

Now Molly was upset. However, she misunderstood what Rose was trying to say.

Instantly Rose felt her mind tired, "Okay, mom, can we stop talking about this? Well, I promise you, I will give you a cute grandchild soon. Don’t worry." She smirked, trying to persuade her sulky mother.

"My daughter, you have to remember, you’re Spencer. You don’t have to worry about your social status. We’re way better than anyone else in this country..." Nicholas Spencer’s words made Rose even dizzier.

Gosh! Rose was getting tired of continuing this conversation. "Father. I understand." She said while trying to end this awkward conversation.

"Daughter, It’s good that you understand." He smiled at her.

Nicholas could understand why his daughter thought that way. Because most people think so, to get into a big family like the Collins took a lot of courage. The Collins had a different philosophy than the Spencers. Especially his best friend Anthony Collins, his mind is very old-fashioned. He always wanted a prospective daughter-in-law from a well-known, wealthy, respected family.

Thinking of this made Nicholas freeze. A thought crosses his mind; Anthony Collins refuses his daughter to marry Evan.

"Daughter!" Nicholas’ cold voice made Rose look at him worriedly.

She froze when she saw her father’s face darken.

Why does he look so angry!?

"Did Anthony Collins turn you down?" Nicholas Spencer continued. His hands clenched into fists, holding back anger.

Molly, sitting beside Nicholas, was also surprised to hear her husband’s words. She worries that her daughter was facing difficulty before marrying Evan.

Rose, "..."

How could her father guess correctly?

"Yes! He firmly rejected me as his daughter-in-law. He said because my last name doesn’t carry my father’s name..." Rose wanted to say that, but her sane mind forbade her. If her father had found out, Anthony Collins would have been beaten by her father. She knew how keen and capable her father was of protecting them. Even though she had only known her father for a few weeks, she could feel that he was very protective of her and her mother.

Rose didn’t want to make a fuss between her father and in-laws. Their relationship is now harmonious. She was sure her father-in-law would regret his one-time skepticism towards her.

"Dad, No. My father and mother-in-law immediately like me when they see me. Well, I inherited my mother’s talent for being able to charm others, I guess..." Rose quickly answered while praising her mother.

Nicholas suddenly laughed at his daughter’s words. "Indeed! You’re right. No one will deny how charming your mother is. Including me..." Nicholas took Molly’s hand and squeezed it gently while tilting his head to look at his blushing wife smiling at him.

Rose was relieved to be able to avoid the conversation. But then her head suddenly felt spinning, seeing the intimacy of her parents.

"Oh please, father, stop doing PDA in front of me!" But of course, her father ignored her plea. He even kissed her mother. Damn!

Quickly, Rose buried her eyes with her palm. She is this old but still feels too shy to see them making out before her. Rose feels like a child again. But she feels like a happier child than she was in her previous life.

"Dad, Mom, please stop! Can you hear me, please..." She shouted, making her father stop kissing her mother. "I’m graduating this weekend. So, I hope you guys can come to the East City to attend the ceremony...."

Rose explained her plans, including that Evan, her beloved husband, was going there this weekend and would stay a few days in the city.

She wanted to visit her grandparents’ graves with her father and husband. Besides, she wanted to meet the evil woman who tortured her mother to clear up the woman’s misunderstanding toward her. She didn’t want this matter to bother her for long.

Molly and Nicholas were happy to hear that. Especially Molly. She had to settle many things in the East City before settling down in the capital to live with Nick.

"Mom and Dad are going to your graduation ceremony. I will ask Aunt Nora to clean the house. You and Evan should stay at our house..." Molly said excitedly. She couldn’t wait to show her husband where she raised their daughter.

Immediately Rose excused herself.

She didn’t want to be in that room and witness the intimacy of her father and mother.

After witnessing the intimacy of her parents, Rose suddenly misses her husband. Can’t wait to see him.

But where is he now?

Chapter 287: Our House

Before dusk Rose and Evan arrived at Misty Mountain, Evan’s childhood home had been renovated and would become their house.

"Wow! It feels good to be back here..." Rose felt happy when Evan parked the car near the main entrance door.

"This is our home. From now on, we will stay here and raise our children...." He said while rubbing Rose’s cheek with his thumb just before he got out of the car. She was taken aback by his words. Also, her mind was filled with images of her mother scolding her about her pregnancy plan.

She took a deep breath, thinking her mother would ask her every time they met. It seemed she had to discuss the child matter with her husband again. She will ask for his opinion about this.

"Welcome, Young Master, Young Madam..." A man in a black suit stood by the door. He slightly bowed to Evan and Rose.

This was the second time Rose had seen this man, but she didn’t have the chance to talk to him. Evan didn’t introduce her to this man, who seemed almost forty years old. She wondered who he was.

"Paul." Evan nodded slightly to the man in the black suit.

"Young Master, is there anything you would like to order?" asked Paul politely.

"For now, no. You can go back to your place. I’ll call you if I need anything..." Then, Evan paused as he remembered something. He turned his gaze to his wife, "Wife, this is Paul Martin. He is a housekeeper."

Rose looked surprised to see the housekeeper in this house wearing a suit. It turns out that what she often sees in dramas actually happens in real life. Rich people have their own standards with workers who care for the house, especially the uniforms they wear. Evan was born into luxury, so it was natural for the housekeeper to be like this.

Was the housekeeper at Spencer’s house like this too?

Rose had never seen them, in everyday life. Because there’s always a big event every time she visits and it’s obvious they’re wearing their best suits.

Now, she was curious to know how many staff would take care of a house of this size!?

The thought of having dozens of staff working here made her a little uncomfortable. Because she was used to living in a small apartment with her mother. Since childhood, they did not have a maid to help them take care of the house. However, she recently hired Aunt Nora to help them after her mother’s surgery a few months ago.

"Hello, Mr. Paul. Please take care of me..." Rose said politely.

"Young lady, just call me Paul...." Paul Martin smiled awkwardly when the young madam called him uncle.

"Paul, tomorrow, please introduce all the staff to my wife. And assign one person to help her personally."

"I will, young master."

"Alright. You may go now..." After that, Evan took Rose’s hand and entered the house.

There were only Evan and Rose in the two-story house, while all house staff had their own particular area on the other side of the house. All the house staff seems to have one rule. No one can access the main house during certain hours when Evan and Rose are present. They will only show if requested.

Evan and Rose didn’t stop downstairs but headed straight to the second floor. The second floor is only accessible to them. While the first floor is a common area for receiving guests and family.

This was Rose’s second time in this house. The first time she came to this house was when they got married, but back then, she didn’t have time to explore this house.

Before long, they arrived on the second floor. Evan didn’t let Rose into the primary bedroom. But he led her to another room at the end of the corridor.

Rose is feeling tired. Right now, she just wanted to straighten her back and lie down on the soft bed. Maybe it’s because she did not have time to rest at her grandfather’s house all day. She was too busy talking to friends and family who came to the wedding.

"Did you change our bedroom?" She was confused, but she still followed him to the door.

"No. But, you need to see something...." Evan said. A mysterious smile crossed his calm face.

She was getting curious. But a second later, she gasped in surprise as the door opened.

"H-Hubby... this!?" Her eyes saw a workspace with a modern interior dominated by pastel colors.

From where she was standing, near the door, there was a massive glass wall. It has a view of the beautiful backyard. She could see the infinity pool and, of course, the city view; The lights from the skyscrapers began to flash. It looks so beautiful.

"This is your home office. My office is next door. If you don’t go to the office, you can work from this room. And..." Evan took her hand and led her to the sofa area.

When Rose’s eyes caught the neatly arranged present on the coffee table and the floor near the sofa area, she was shocked. She can see many boxes and shopping bags from luxury brands.

"This is your wedding gift from our family and friends. You can open it later if you have time...."

"This much!?"

As far as she remembered, only a few people had come to their wedding. But the present in front of her was quite a lot.

Did they give her more than one gift?

"This includes gifts from your father’s family. They sent gifts to our apartment. But, I asked Sam to bring everything here."

Rose was shocked to hear that. She didn’t expect them to prepare a present for her. Instantly her heart became warm. There was the happiness she felt. Strange joy, which she rarely felt. However, now, it seemed like she had to get used to it because she had many relatives who accepted her with open arms and loved her endlessly.

Chapter 288: Defeat Feelings

"As for my wedding gift to you, I will give it to you tomorrow..."

Rose, still deep in thought, was taken aback by his words. Slowly, she turned her gaze towards Evan, who stood a few steps before her. For a moment, she just stared at him without saying anything. For some reason, her tongue feels stiff. This man, why does he spoil her so much?

Evan pinched his temples when he saw his wife’s beautiful face seem to seduce him. Slowly, he stepped forward as his hand gently held her face. Their eyes meet.

"No need to thank me, my wife...."

Rose’s whole body instantly felt warm when Evan’s warm lips touched hers. That passionate kiss could bring her body back to life after feeling blue. As their lips parted, and she was still panting, she called out his name, "E-Evan..."

"Ms. Collins! If you call me ’Evan’ again, I will kiss you hard...." He chuckled when he saw her bury her mouth with her small delicate hands. She looks so adorable and just seeing her blushing face makes his body down there awake. Damn!

Rose took a few steps back to avoid him. She could tell by the look in his eyes what this man was thinking. Rose wasn’t going to arouse him. Not tonight when she was so tired.

Gosh! My wife. Do you think you can hold me by taking a few steps back? You can’t escape tonight, my dear wife!

Just before Evan wanted to pull Rose, he heard her ask,

"H-Hubby... didn’t you already give me three properties?" Rose asked. A few days ago, she selected three properties in her favorite cities in several countries.

"That’s because you only chose three of the hundreds of properties I own. And, you also choose the cheapest." Evan took a deep breath as he advanced toward her. He pulled her between his arms. "So, Ms. Collins, I’ll pick a wedding present for you tomorrow..." His whisper sounded like seduction in Rose’s ear.

She was amused. Because she could sense this man, still trying to find a chance to have sex with her.

Talking about the cheapest property, Rose felt defeated.

How can this man say; Penthouse in Central Park, New York? Mansion in the south of France and Villa in Switzerland cheapest property?

She believed the property she chose was costly. Especially the one in Switzerland.

"Hubby, thank you..." Rose could only say that. Because there was no point in rejecting this man. If he wants to give her something, he will find a way until she accepts it.

"Wife, you don’t need to thank me. Just let me make love with you tonight before you go to bed...."

"Evan! You..."

Rose was surprised when his lips pressed against her. He kissed her so hard that Rose was almost out of breath, and her knees felt like jelly. She nearly fell, but her body was already lifted before she knew it. Afraid that Evan may lose his grip over her body, Rose immediately wrapped her arms around Evan’s neck and buried her face in his neck.

She could feel Evan’s quick steps entering the main bedroom. She realized that by now, she had awakened this beast! She couldn’t avoid it anymore, even though she was still tired.

"I want to make love with you now, Ms. Collins. Looking at your parents’ marriage reminds me of our wedding night..." he whispered in her ear. It made her heart race.

"Let me take a shower first..." Rose tried to get away from him as he laid her down on the soft bed.

Her eyes blinked a few times when she watched her husband start to take off his clothes. But, a few seconds later, she saw him stop. His eyes burn as he stares at her.

She froze.

"Wow! That’s a brilliant idea, wife! Let’s take a bath together...." Evan smiled widely and took her hand.

Rose was utterly speechless.

She imagined herself soaking in the warm bath moments before they went to bed. But now, what she imagined had to come to an end. Because she was sure, they would spend the night making love.

*****

The next morning.

Her body was crushed!

That’s how Rose felt when she opened her eyes in the morning. Her lower abdomen and thighs hurt. She couldn’t remember how many times they had made love, and she couldn’t even tell when she had slept. The man really exhausted her.

She looked at Evan’s bedside, but his figure wasn’t there.

Where is he going? Did he leave for work this early?

For a moment, she tried to hear the sound from the bathroom, but there was no sound of splashing water from inside. Also no noise from behind the bedroom door.

The morning was so calm that she could faintly hear the distant sound of birds chirping coming from the slightly open window.

She smiled. Very happy to hear the sounds of nature.

This is it!

This is where she wants to spend the rest of her life. Get away from the city’s noise and enjoy this mountain’s natural beauty.

Before long, Rose slowly got out of bed, but as soon as her feet touched the marble floor, it was like stepping on broken glass. The pain is excruciating. She fell, sitting on the edge of the bed. Her eyes looked at the floor, looking for the broken glass. She didn’t see the shard there. But why was the pain she felt so real?

"Damn, Evan Collins! You are such a beast!!" She let out gasps as she scolds her husband.

Now she understood why her husband was constantly nagging her to increase her stamina. She hasn’t been able to match his passionate lovemaking.

After a while, Rose tried to get up again. This time her legs have improved. She immediately walked to the bathroom and did her morning routine.

She had no plans to leave the house today. She would just stay at home while recovering her strength. She also wanted to explore this house. And if she feels better, she wants to climb to the top of the mountain in the afternoon.

Her goal now is to increase her stamina. This is something she had to do immediately. Otherwise, she would feel like this every morning.

Chapter 289: Breaking News

Soon Rose came down and witnessed a strange sight. Evan was watching television with Sam. They looked so immersed in the news on TV that they didn’t notice her presence in the room.

Intrigued by what had the two men so focused on the TV, Rose looked in the same direction. Instantly, she was shocked to see the news of a massive explosion at the high-speed train station in Nova City. The blast destroyed the largest train station in the city of Nova during rush hour, as people left for work. It was reported that dozens of people died, and hundreds were seriously injured.

Rose’s body froze, looking at the injured victims. "Oh my God!! How big was the explosion? How could there be so many victims?" Her voice trembled in shock at the news.

Evan, who heard Rose’s voice, immediately turned off the television. He stood before asking Sam to do something. "Wife, let’s have breakfast first..." he said as he led her to the dining table.

"Hubby, about that explosion... Was it a bomb? Who did it?" She asked anxiously.

Previously Evan didn’t want to talk about this incident with his wife, but since she had seen the news, he couldn’t avoid it. He let her settle on the dining table first before replying, "The authorities are still investigating... but there might be a gas pipe explosion." He couldn’t possibly tell his wife that this was most likely a terrorist attack.

Rose started to enjoy her salad while listening to Evan’s explanation. Still, suddenly her body froze when she connected the horrific incident in her previous life to the explosion that had just happened in Nova City.

That would be an incident that will never be forgotten by everyone in this country. Terrorist attacks in several major cities; Explosions in public and holy places. To create chaos. However, that series of terror only happened when the new presidential election was about to begin, two years from now.

Rose firmly believed that the explosion in Nova city was a terrorist attack. But what made her a little confused? Why was this happening so fast?

She shuddered to think that her rebirth actually caused a butterfly effect. Many things that should not have happened in the past are now changing in the present. This scared her because she was starting to be unable to predict what would happen next.

What she remembered in her past life; This country was in chaos. Terrors are emerging here and there. Several organizations refused Jayson Spencer to win the election. But, in the end, Jayson Spencer still won and became President with a unanimous victory. However, many lives had to be sacrificed in this bloody terror.

As a person with zero interest in politics, Rose didn’t follow what happened after the horrific incident. She had no interest in following the news.

But now it’s different...

Jayson Spencer is her uncle. With all her might, she tried to remember what had happened then. Rose tries to remember how they stopped the attack and who was behind all the chaos. However, after trying to remember, her memory was hazy. It was far from her memories of business developments that she remembered vividly.

Rose felt angry with herself. If she could remember what happened then, she could inform her grandpa to prevent a repeat of the horrific events that have tarnished the history of Astington.

She needed to do something, so she shall need Oliver’s help.

Oliver’s skills as a hacker can help her gather the information she wants and match it to what she vaguely remembers.

But, what worries her now; can Oliver get data from the military or police of this country? She suddenly felt stressed just thinking about it.

She has to go to the office today to meet Oliver in person.

"Wife, don’t worry, the authorities will take care of it soon..." Evan, who saw her tense face, tried to calm her down. This was why he didn’t want her to be alerted to the news on TV, worried that her mood would change.

Evan couldn’t imagine how worried Rose would be if she discovered this incident was related to terrorists.

"I feel sorry for the victims. Hopefully, the number of victims doesn’t increase again..." she said while trying to finish her salad even though her mind was disturbed at the same time.

"I do hope so...."

"Husband, are you going to the office?"

Rose noticed that Evan looked handsome in a white shirt paired with light gray pants.

Didn’t he say last night he didn’t go to the office today?

"Didn’t I tell you yesterday? I was going to take you to see your wedding present?" He rubbed the top of her hair before continuing, "Wife, it seems that you need to eat a lot of Salmon so you don’t forget easily..."

"How could I remember it when you devoured me afterward? Gosh!" She wanted to say that but she couldn’t.

What was on her mind when she woke up this morning; How could she keep up with his strength?

Thinking of what happened last night made Rose’s cheeks feel warm. She immediately drank her apple juice while trying to get rid of her steamy thoughts about their activities last night. Worried, this man will think she was signaling him to make love again.

"You have given me many wedding gifts. Wouldn’t it be too much for you to give me more?"

"Think of it as a gift a month after we got married. Well, I thought of giving you a monthly gift to celebrate our wedding day..."

Rose almost choked. She narrowed her eyes on Evan.

Is this guy kidding?

Wedding celebration gifts every month?

Rose was utterly speechless.

She could only sigh.

Evan placed his coffee cup on the table. He was a little worried when he saw his wife was deep in thought as if something was bothering her.

"Is there something you want to say?" Evan asks.

"Um? No... nothing important."

"Really!?"

"Yeah! Well, I was just thinking about stopping by the office...."

"Wow... what a coincidence. After seeing your wedding gift, I plan to meet my friend to chat about business." Evan was lying. He needed to meet his people at Silver Phoenix to discuss the terror in Nova city.

Chapter 290: Mr. Evan Lavish Collins

Before Rose left the house, she met all the staff who worked for them. She was surprised to learn that more than twenty people worked in this house. During the brief meeting, Rose also met the assistant assigned to help her, Laura Martin. However, she didn’t have much time to chat with Laura. Because Evan was already waiting for her in the car. He looked impatient.

"Wife, from now on, Sam will stay with us as a full-time bodyguard. He moved today. So wherever you go, he will follow you...." Evan said as their car drove towards the city.

Why did he suddenly ask Sam to live with them?

Rose glanced at Evan, wanting to ask his reason, but his face was straight ahead, focused on driving the vehicle. Seeing him look so focused on the road, she put the matter aside. She will ask him later.

She opened her cell phone and started reading the incoming text messages from her mother. Molly tells her that she is heading to East City with her father. After replying to her mother, she opened her office group chat. It was amusing to read their conversation. As usual, all the single souls in the group were actively discussing their future girlfriends. A topic they talked about more than office matters.

"We have arrived!"

Rose slowly raised her head. She was surprised to see their car parked in front of the main entrance of the unfinished skyscraper. Looking at the layout of the building, she could guess that this building would be used as an office.

"Where are we?" She asked while looking around.

Rose could see they were next to the Collins’ Luxury shopping center in the Entertainment District, a block away from her current office in the business district.

She was familiar with this place because, in her previous life, she often came to this shopping center.

Why did Evan bring her to this building? Her wedding gift in this building? Or does he just come here to visit his company project?

As she got out of the car, something suddenly crossed her mind, and she stood next to Evan.

Did this man give her an office in this building?

Feeling excited, she smiled at him, "Hubby, I can guess what my present is?"

"Really?" Evan took her hand as they walked to the entrance.

"Yeah! How many floors did you give me? If you want to give me office space, make sure you give me at least five floors..." Rose said playfully.

It could be that what she said will be granted by her lavish husband, right!?

If that were the case, she would not need to rent a place for her office. They can move in here until the Wilson Group Building is built. And apparently, the Wilson Group building was only on her mind. Because until now, Oliver still hasn’t reported to her about the land they want to buy. It seems Oliver is struggling to get land that fits her criteria.

Evan smiled mysteriously. He didn’t answer but continued walking into the building. She followed him and was surprised to see Marvin Sanders standing in the empty Lobby. He seemed to be waiting for them.

She also saw a middle-aged man of average height in a black suit. The man looked like the person in charge of this building.

"Sister-in-law, nice to see you again." Marvin Sanders greeted Rose without reaching out for a handshake. He learns from the past that his jealous boss will never allow them to touch his wife, even if it’s just a handshake. His jealousy was keen.

"Hello, Marvin. Nice to see you again..." Rose smiled, thinking about yesterday she met him at her parent’s wedding. Still, she didn’t have time to chat with him because her grandfather was busy introducing her to his friends.

The man standing beside Marvin also greeted Evan and Rose. He knew Evan Collins, one of his boss’s best friends and heir to the Collins Group. But he had never seen this woman before. He was curious because this woman was casually talking to his boss. She even called out his first name casually. Who’s she?

"Sister-in-law, this is Ben Davies in charge of this new office building." Marvin introduced Ben to Rose and was greeted with a confused look by Rose.

Why did Marvin introduce Ben Davies to her in such detail?

Was her guess right? Evan bought her an office in this building? Oh my god.

Instantly, she felt happy but only for a few seconds because, what Marvin said next, made Rose’s knees feel like jelly.

"Ben, this lady is Ms. Rose Spencer, wife of Mr. Evan Collins. She’s your new boss. She owns this building...."

Rose, "..."

She didn’t hear wrong, did she?

Her husband gave her the entire building, not only several floors, as requested. The nearly finished luxurious building now belonged to her.

Instantly she felt her head spinning.

If her guess was correct, this building was 30 floors high, just like her dream, having such a tall building and being in such a prime location.

Slowly she turned her gaze to Evan, who was looking at her with a loving smile. She melted. This man, how could he treat her like this? He provided everything she needed.

A thought suddenly crossed her mind; How did he know she was looking for land to build the Wilson Group building?

"Lavish!" Rose muttered. But Evan, hearing what she said clearly, frowned and was confused by her reaction.

Shouldn’t she be happy now? Or maybe mad at him? But why did she say ’lavish’?

"What?" He asked.

"Is your middle name LAVISH?"

"Wife?" He frowned, confused.

Rose chuckled before continuing, "Mr. Evan Lavish Collins?"

"Hahaha..." Evan rubbed the back of his neck before continuing, "Yeah, you can call me that way. But, Wife, I only do this kind of thing for you... because you own me, and only you have this privilege."

Marvin was speechless, watching his boss doing PDA right before his eyes. In public. Damn!

As for Ben, he was shocked to hear that this beautiful woman is Evan Collins’ wife. The number one bachelor in town is now sold out. And he just bought this building for his wife. Ben was utterly speechless at how rich Evan Collins was.
