Rose's father had just reached Finn's hand without having any idea he wasn't seeing his and his wife's future but he was daydreaming.

Rose spoke like a wronged one, "Finn!!"

​​

Just like that, Finn retracted his hand back to hear Rose giving his full attention to the woman. Rose continued in a tone of dissatisfaction, "Why are you giving this to them? They have already disowned me. I only brought you here because you wanted to see them."

Rose's father who had grabbed the air instead of the brocade box flustered by hearing Rose. Her mother too became disoriented and stuttered, "I- I- We- D-daughter, how could you say that? H-how can we disown our own daughter? D-do we hqve anybody other than you? Haha…"

Rose's father too laughed awkwardly alternating his gaze between Rose and Finn as he spoke, "Rosie, why will we abandon you? We were just a little angry. President Stanley, Which house won't have little clashes? She is too stubborn and prideful hence she left the house."

Finn asked to confirm, "Rose, you were saying you grew up here. Didn't they bring you home? Did you live alone independently?"

Rose was about to speak but her father poked in hurriedly, "No, no… President Stanley, she wanted to be independent so she didn't come home with us when we pleaded."

He deeply sighed as though it had happened and she had rejected him too harshly. He could feel Finn treasures Rose so he didn't want to blame her directly and didn't want to be blamed either.

Rose's mother continued after him, 'S-she just lived to be independent but w-we always looked after her well being. W-we were afraid that s-she might fall ill so I always looked for her. S- She is a good child but -but just a wilful. Please don't mind her behavior and also forgive her if she makes any mistakes."

Her father continued after it, "We are a reputed family, how could we do such mean things…" He went on and on.

As the tree of lies grew, her parents fluidly went on a lying spree without caring if Finn was believing or not.

Rose didn't find it surprising at all. She was just a little amused at how her parents cared about themselves and kept her low.

Finn always hated pretentious people to start with, seeing them going on and on, he didn't care to play his game longer. "Shhhh..." He shushed them to be silent with deep frowns.

He turned to Rose who had a mocking smile looking at her parents, "Seriously? How did you live with them? Good that you moved out before becoming like them."

Despite hearing his words, Rose's father still tried, "President Stanley, she is just a little angry so she must have…"

Dustin grunted, "Stay quiet." His cold voice and chilly vibe of Finn crushed them to silence.

Finn passed the brocade box to Dustin as he spoke, "You want your daughter now because she got a rich boyfriend. Why? You thought I would change your lifestyle? Probably I would have really done it if you had known your duties well."

Finn was turning to leave feeling irritated to look at their face but Rose's mother lunged at her, "You unfilial… Ahhh…" An ear-piercing groan of her continued.

Finn reacted quickly pulling Rose to his embrace and the guard who has nearby had kicked the woman to avoid her falling on Finn.

Instead of helping her, Rose's father chided Rose, "Did you get your boyfriend herr to brag? This just shows we did right by throwing you out before you made my home a whore house. You…"

'Pooh.'

Finn wanted to control thinking of him as an elder and Rose's father but failed. He pulled Rose behind him and punched his face.

The man fell on the floor next to his wife having all the urge to shout and create a scene but looking at tall and well-built men around, he could only shut his mouth thinking how he could create a fuss in the media.

Finn glanced at Rose who looked sad but not much. Actually, Rose was really hurt hearing her father think she seduced Finn to become his girlfriend. However, she kind of expected the world to say it. Probably most of the people who get to know Finn is with a secretary, everyone would think the same.

What relieved her was Finn's actions, how he prioritized her ignoring his morals without doubting her even once when her parents kept repeating she wasn't good to be his girlfriend.

"Mr. May, I am really thankful you threw me out of your house. I am living a far better life than you and guess what? I will live an even better life in the coming days. Your curses are blessings so keep cursing me."

Finn wanted to speak, he wanted her parents to regret but not throw dirt on Rose but he didn't get a chance, Rose held his hand and walked out holding her calmness without getting angry or crying.

Finn cued Dustin to handle them as he followed her, literally dragged him away by her. Before she leaves his hand or takes him to the driver seat, he pulled her to stop causing her to turn to face him.

Finn crossed his arms watching her feeling amused, "Ms. Rose, you are a confident woman, then why were you afraid of me?" He gave a thought before discerning himself. "Because you didn't know me? Or thought of me as a senior influential man?"

Rose shook her head and promptly responded faintly smiling at him, "Probably because you are too perfect and I was afraid of making mistakes."

Finn chuckled hearing somebody entitle him as perfect, he flicked his fingers on her head, "There is nothing as perfect. It's just your thinking."

"Oh!" Rose said as she subconsciously glanced at her parents' house as both ignored the eyes on them from other homes due to expensive cars.

Finn diverted her attention after a thought, "Let me take you somewhere. Get in." He opened the car door for her and saw her blush seeing the door and him.

Finn: "..."

He couldn't believe opening the car door for her made her happy instead of expensive diamonds. Life isn't complicated if they get happy with the smallest things.

---

After an hour, Rose looked at the magnificent mansion and asked Finn, "Where are we?"

Finn alighted and went around the car by the time she had alighted too. An evil smirk craved his face, "Stanley mansion!"

Rose: "..."

Rose tried to run but Finn caught her before she could take the second step. "Finn Stanley, you are crazy." They haven't been on a proper date yet and here they are meeting each other's parents.
