The Secret Heir Return To Wealth And Love
Chapter 2215

Max rarely ignored people, but Jacob was one of the people he doesn't like.

Not even a wag of the tail did Jacob receive as he passed by Max.

Rose stood there, her heart pounding like a drum in her chest. Had Jacob noticed something? Was that why he came warning her?

But turned out, it was just because Rosalynn was entrusting her with a new project, and there was a palpable fear of failure hanging in the air-a fear that Rose could mess it all up.

The vacation had been blissful.

Rose spent three carefree days at Moonlit Lake, where the only worries were what to eat next and which book to read on the tranquil banks. After a brief return to the grindstone at the office, she found herself on a plane to Berlin with Rosalynn.d2

In Berlin, while Rosalynn was in high-level meetings, meetings that Rose wasn't a part of, Rose's thoughts wandered elsewhere. She buzzed her lab buddies back home and set up a meeting. Rosalynn's Berlin stay was a brief three days before they were off to Munich.

That's where Penn picked them up from the airport. His hair was a disheveled nest atop his head, and he looked lost in thought as he waited for them, alone.

Without her by his side, it was clear Penn's world was a bit of a mess, and Rose couldn't help but feel a smug satisfaction at the sight.

"Dr. Lange," Rosalynn broke the silence, snapping Penn out of his trance.

He approached them with a warm smile, glancing at Rose. "Rose hasn't been any trouble, has she?"

"Not at all. She's come a long way," Rosalynn replied, linking her arm through Rose's. "When we get back, I'm putting her in charge of a project."

"Really?" Penn's eyes sparkled with pride as he ruffled Rose's hair. "That's like starting a whole new chapter in life, Rose. You'll have to work hard. Who knows, maybe you'll end up a renowned entrepreneur like Ms. Jared!"

"I doubt I can hold a candle to Ms. Tesdal, cut it out, Penn. Besides, we haven't even had lunch yet," Rose protested.

Penn quickly ushered them away from the airport.

On the drive, they steered clear of talking about the potion.

But Rose mention it first, "Penn, is the potion really making that much progress?"

He nodded. "Yeah. Found some useful stuff in my dad's old notes, and with Ms. Jared's funding support, we are making quite a progress."

"That's amazing!" Rose beamed. "Think of all the families that will benefit once it's successful. And the awards you could win!"

She turned to Rosalynn. "Most importantly, Ms. Tesdal and the kids won't have to wait in agony anymore. President Silverman will be heading home soon!"

Then she reminisced about the New Year's she spent with Ms. Tesdal. "You know, Penn, you should see their place. It's so cozy, I never lost a wink of sleep. When Mr. Silverman gets better, it's only going to get cozier!"

Rose spoke with genuine joy, her wish for Wayne's recovery a heartfelt one, so he could return to Rosalynn and the kids for a proper family reunion.

Penn chuckled softly, but his eyes dropped in a moment of introspection, silently hoping that what he had just heard from her mirrored her true feelings.
