Chapter 971 - Rose Of Medion (1) (1/2)
”Rose...” Rune suddenly halted his steps and called Rose. The girl turned to him and asked him a question without a sound. 'What is it?'
”Do you want me to hone my acting as your fake boyfriend?” Rune asked her sheepishly. The man became daring after several glasses of wine he drank earlier.
”What do you have in mind?” Rose furrowed her brows.
”At least, let me hold your hand,” whispered Rune. ”So later, when we meet your family, we won't look awkward.”
Rose was stunned by the young man's words. Ahh .. what a flirt, she thought. Rune didn't look like a womanizer, but somehow he could find such an excuse to hold her hand. And he was good with his words too!!
However, come to think of it, Rune was right. They must appear natural as a couple. With that in mind, she had to get used to holding hands with Rune. Finally, the girl nodded lightly and stretched out her hand towards the man.
The young man took Rose's hand with a wide grin on his face, and so they continued their journey happily.
Two girls who just came out of the club caught their actions before Rose and Rune walked away. They looked at each other.
”See? I was right! The two handsome men are a gay couple,” said one girl, looking disappointed.
Her friend nodded sadly. ”Well .... what a shame, they are not into women. They are both so handsome.”
***
Back at Rose's apartment.
”You're right .. you can surely look like a man,” Rune commented as they arrived back at the apartment. ”Your life seems very fun and full of excitement.”
Rose smiled at the young man's words. She just shrugged and didn't answer.
Since she was sleepy from drinking a lot of wine at dinner outside earlier, Rose decided to hurry to her room in the loft and rest.
Rune stared at the girl's back while she walked up the stairs until she disappeared on the second floor. Then, he took a breath and shook his head.
What a very unique and lovely girl, he thought. Rune then opened the sofabed and made the bed, and lay down comfortably.
He was very happy to live with Rose.

FOUR YEARS AGO - GLASGOW, SCOTLAND
.
That night, a luxury car pulled up in front of the boarding school for children of the world's top-class families, St. John Academy, and out came a middle-aged man accompanied by a teenage girl from inside.
”Oh, why… of course, Mr. Stockton… We will educate Lady Fournier properly…” said the principal in a friendly manner. The tall, bespectacled, high-class woman looked at the teenage girl in front of her. ”This sudden arrival is surprising, but ... well, please pass my regards to the Duke and Duchess Fornier ...”
”Of course, Madame ...” Mr. Stockton bowed down and excused himself. ”Thank you in advance. I will convey your regards. Goodbye.”
”Goodbye ...”
As soon as Mr. Stockton came out, the principal looked at the girl in front of her from head to toe and cleared her throat softly, ”Lady Rose ... I want to see you wear a nice dress tomorrow morning when you go attend the class. Now Miss Khatrine will show you your room.”
Rose only smiled a little. She was wearing men's clothes, a white satin shirt and black trousers with commando boots.
Ugh ... The contents of the suitcase she carried were not much different. She did not have any dresses there.
'Even my mother never tells me how to dress. Why would this lady bother me so much?' she thought in annoyance.
”Please come with me, Young Miss...” said a fat woman who appeared from the next room. She politely motioned Rose to follow her to the girl's dorm on the east wing.
