"She will stay here for a while?" Rosetta almost wondered if she had heard wrong.
"It's a large house. If we clean up a guest room for Sierra, it won't affect anything."
It won't affect anything, he said...
Rosetta could not hold back any longer. She looked at Elliot and Edric with an icy gaze. "This villa holds so many memories for the three of us. And now you want her to live here? Have you really thought it through?"
Elliot met her gaze, silent for a few moments before finally saying, "I told you, it's only for a while."
"Yes, Rosie," Edric added. "It's just for a while. Can you stop being so unreasonable?"
What? Unreasonable?
That word made Rosetta's heart sink. It made her realize the truth once again. To them, Sierra was the priority now. Those cherished memories they once shared did not mean anything anymore.
If that was how it was, why should she care if Sierra stayed here? She would be leaving soon and this villa would no longer be part of her life.
Without another word, Rosetta turned around and walked away.
Elliot watched her retreating figure, a trace of regret flickering across their faces. Perhaps they had not thought about her feelings enough.
