Chapter 1030 - Meeting The Lindens (1/2)

Rose took a deep breath.

Now she had even more questions than before. For example, why Elios Linden and his brother had different last names. And why Rune never told Rose from the beginning that he was actually a member of the Schneider family.

Rune noticed the confusion on Rose's face and he knew she must have a lot of questions. He nudged her arm and tilted his chin toward Aleksis.

”That's my sister. If you have any questions, you can ask her,” he said.

”Right.. oh, right,” Rose nodded her head, still looked confused. She smiled toward Aleksis and finally found her voice to greet her. ”Hello, my name is Rose Fournier. Nice to meet you all.”

”Nice to meet you too, Rose,” Aleksis replied with a sweet smile. As for her husband, as usual, his smile was reserved for only very important people, mostly his family. He just looked at Rose with a cold expression.

”Hi, Auntie Rose, nice to meet you again,” said Ireland with his crisp voice. Scotland nodded beside him. ”It's been a while. How are you?”

”I'm good, thank you,” Rose's mood turned so much better when she saw the twins. The two familiar faces gave her comfort. ”So... you are here with your parents. You have such a beautiful family. I have no words...”

Aleksis laughed when she heard Rose's words. She liked Rose already.

Aleksis already read some information about Rose when she checked her background before she allowed Rune to come and live together with Rose in the East Village.

She also had heard about Rose from her twin boys and Rune. Now that she could meet Rose directly and talk to her, Aleksis could understand why they liked her.

This beautiful girl looked really compatible with Rune and Aleksis could only hope that these two would really hit it off and became a real couple.

Rose would be a nice addition to their big family.

”My name is Aleksis Schneider Linden. This is my husband Elios Linden, and my two sons, Scotland and Ireland. It's so good to finally meet you. So, you are both in Medion today? I've heard about how beautiful your country is,” Aleksis said. ”Thank you for having my brother with you. He said he is having a great time.”

”Uhm.. well, actually, it's me who has to say thank you,” Rose said. ”Rune has been helping me with so many things. I am grateful that he is here with me.”

Aleksis thought things moved quite fast for Rune and Rose since her brother is at the phase where he was starting to open up about his identity to the girl.

She remembered, with London and L it took longer. Only after their baby, Lily, was born, London finally revealed his identity to L.

”Well... I really can't believe this...” Rose gushed. ”Rune initially told me he only shared the same last name with the Schneiders and that his family came from a humble background... but suddenly... this....”

”Well, our family likes privacy. I hope you would forgive my brother for hiding his identity from you. He always planned to reveal everything in a timely manner. So, I guess, today is the day,” Aleksis said.

”Yes, I think you are right,” Rose sighed. ”Well, I am not angry that Rune decided to hide his identity from me. I totally understand it. I am just shocked... that is all. You are... you are both very famous.”

”Are we?” Aleksis and Alaric exchanged glances.

Both were very private people, but apparently, Alaric's position as the owner of RMI made him unable to escape people's attention.

As long as RMI was still controlling most businesses in the world, people would always remember him as the founder and the owner of the giant tech conglomerate, even though he rarely showed himself to the public.

This was what Rose meant by 'famous'.

Rose was embarrassed by her reaction earlier. She was a noble girl and was used to meeting high officials and royals, but seeing the sister of her fake boyfriend who turned out to be the wife of Elios Linden, she felt awestruck.

”Thank you, I'm so happy to hear that,” Aleksis said. ”We heard from Rune that you are an artist. I would love to see your work sometimes. We have an extensive art collection and always enjoy seeing new artworks.”

'I bet you do,' said Rose inwardly. She read somewhere that this family had the most complete art collection, spread in their many homes.

”Ahh.. I'm flattered that you are willing to see my works. I will send some to Manhattan as a present when I return to New York.” Rose's face was beaming. She loved that Aleksis seemed genuinely interested in her and her arts.

This made Rose feel so good about their meeting. Gosh.. she loved Rune's family!
