'Make them regret?' Rose didn't know how to react. She never thought she needed to make her parents regret their behavior but she had a different kind of feeling for hearing it from Finn.

She realized her identity isn't a trouble for him and he was totally fine with revealing their relationship to all. If he wanted her to feel good by making them regret their behavior, she was already content just by hearing it.

​​

Finn saw her silent smile, having no word to speak so he continued, "It's late tonight," Then he planned to take her inside the villa, "I have a client meeting tomorrow so we will go after it. You are following me tomorrow else Aunty Amelia will take my class. You just care about looking good, I will arrange rest. If you could look smug, it would be even better but it's not required."

When Finn ended, Rose muttered, "I didn't know you talk so much."

Finn: "..."

He felt the need to explain to her. If Aria was in her place, she could discern the plan herself without the need of words so he cared to speak it out, 'Is she looking down on me?' He paused near the guest room door and glared at her.

Rose awkwardly laughed darting her eyes away from his angry face, "I was kidding." She said before explaining, "You don't have to trouble yourself with your work. I don't care about my parents anymore."

Finn asked back as he went towards his room, "Then why are you still calling them your parents?" He paused at the door and turned to her.

Rose didn't respond, It was inevitable truth even if they disown her or she stays away from them. Seeing him still standing, she quickly bowed, "Good night president Stanley."

Finn: "..."

Finn crossed his arms on his chest and leaned on the door frame, "Back straight, and bow at 90 degrees."

His lips twitched when she followed his orders in the movement, "Tsk…" He went inside the door closing it behind him.

Rose realized what she did chided him, "Heartless man. Did you forget I am your girlfriend?" However, she didn't get a response and stormed to the guest room.

In the morning,

Rose pinched her cheeks hard and got fresh before going out. She needed to confirm she didn't dream of everything. She entered the kitchen to see Finn had already prepared breakfast for two.

"Good morning…" She wished and heard him hum before pointing at the dining table for her to sit as he brewed coffee for both.

'How to confirm I was dreaming?' Rose thought to herself and turned back to him, "What time are we going to my parents' place?"

Finn noticed her being too careful and gazing curiously at him. He played, "What!? Why do we have to go to your parents' place?" He asked coldly.

Rose's jaw dropped and turned away from him. She held her head, chiding herself for dreaming such a long one. 'When will you stop fantasizing?' She scolded herself.

Finn sat down and saw her pout in displeasure, he didn't talk and breakfast was completed in silence. "President Stanley, I will do the dishes."

However, Finn flicked on her head, "You still say you are smart."

Instead of getting angry, "You mean I didn't dream? It was all real."

Finn just shook his head in resignation to see her instantly brighten up happily. He couldn't understand why she is happy when she already knows he doesn't love her.

He paused in the track and turned to her, "Don't you want to know who is my first love?"

Rose saw him before she revealed herself, "President Cooper, everyone knows."

Finn: "..."

He was mentally strong enough to keep holding the plates and cups without dropping them. Placing them on the kitchen counter, he asked back, "What do you mean by everyone?"

Rose asked back, "Do you think all are dumb not to realize your feelings towards President Cooper?"

Finn's face deadpanned hearing him, "Alia?"

Rose knew he might misunderstand the Morgan family and Aria but she still spoke, "I think she knows too. President Morgan doesn't usually hide things for her."

Finn stormed inside the kitchen and started washing dishes making her sigh. Rose ran behind him, she regretted mentioning 'everyone knows'. She could feel him angry instead of embarrassed to face Aria.

"Pre… Finn, you know them better than me. I am pretty sure no one wants to make you uncomfortable. In fact, Madam Morgan treats you like a son, they are really fond of you."

She noticed his poker face didn't change and his coldness increased. She racked her brain and again tried, "They love you, they don't pity instead everyone admires your selfless care towards President Cooper."

"Shhh" Finn shushed her and untangled his messy thoughts. Finn wasn't a child to misidentify their real concern and care towards him as pity. 

He didn't know why, he really felt that when Aria must have got to know about it, she would have blamed herself for becoming his unrequited love. But for him, she was the change and the girl who brought him to the track, who showed him how one could love selflessly without changing by the problems or distance. He really commenced Alan in mind for still trusting him with his babies or Aria.

"And you thought, my standard is Alia and I wouldn't accept you if you proposed," Finn asked out of the blue when Rose was still racking her brain.

Rose was stunned hearing him. She had expected him to be angered or talking about Aira. She didn't respond to it but spoke, "You know first love is always beautiful and makes you a better person, gives you goals. You can never forget it, it will always have a special place in the heart."

Finn tapped his water dripping finger on her nose, "I am glad you too think the same." The more time he spent with her, he was certain he will like Rose, but love? he will slowly take it on.

"Won't you get jealous?" He asked.

Rose giggled, "There is nothing to be jealous of, one, you know your limits else why would President Morgan trust you? Two, President Cooper won't cheat on her husband."

Finn: "..."

Why does it feel like he and his new girlfriend have a crush on the same woman and admires her man?

He firmly said, "Sometimes it's good to compliment me instead of them. You could have said I won't cheat." Then he smacked her head.

Even though she rubbed her head grinning he was expecting the praises on him, "You are really nice."

Then she went to the living hall remembering Amelia, 'No doubt Madam Morgan wanted to adopt me for you.' To play with little ones, she had numerous times visited the Morgan mansion so she knows how they were fond of her new boyfriend.

At May's house

Rose gulped looking at Finn's arrangements, "Finn, do we really have to enter inside? Don't you think this is too much? Let's go back."

Finn smirked in response.
