Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife novel Chapter 427

Chapter 427: Chapter 427

As soon as Rosemary hung up the phone, she saw her mother waving at her, signaling her to come over.

Rosemary strolled over with a puzzled look, only to be hushed by her mother, Louisa. "How is it going with Clark?"

Rosemary glanced at the distant figures and whispered, "Are you trying to set them up?"

"Ever since Crystal was a little girl, I’ve watched her grow up. She’s so innocent, brilliant, and smart. You couldn’t find a single flaw in her background, character, or education."

Louisa seemed quite fond of the girl. "Most importantly, she’s been in love with your brother Clark for over a decade—everyone’s noticed. When she was in primary school, she said she wanted to marry Clark when she grew up. We thought it was just a child’s innocent words, but after all these years, she only has eyes for Clark. I think they make a great pair."

"But it seems like Clark isn’t interested in her?"

"Your brother Clark needs someone to give him a push from behind, or else he’s going to be too slow. She’s been making all the moves, yet he doesn’t know how to respond." Louisa was exasperated.

Rosemary caught sight of Clark in the distance, pulling out his phone to send a message. In a moment, her phone buzzed.

[Sis, where are you? Hurry up.] Clark sounded desperate.

"Let’s go, we shouldn’t intrude on them." Louisa pulled Rosemary away. "Let’s give them some time together."

Rosemary gave a sympathetic look at the distant figures and replied, [Mom and I are going inside.]

Clark was speechless.

"Mind if we exchange digits?"

"Sure."

Rosemary offered her number. Crystal entered it into her contact list, then said, "Well, we’d better get going. You guys should get some rest. I’ll stop by again soon."

"Um, okay." Louisa and Kenneth stood up to see them out.

"Rose, Rose!" Clark called quietly from the staircase, waving at Rosemary. "Come up."

Once she was upstairs, Clark hooked an arm over her shoulder and whispered, "Did Mom ask you to give us some alone time?"

"She didn’t exactly put it that way." Rosemary raised her eyes to his, a soft smile on her lips. "You’re not into Crystal?"

"I see her more as a buddy."

"Does she know that?"

"Yeah."

"Are you into that girl who gave you the lucky charm?"

Clark looked surprised. "How did you know?"

"You seemed really attached to that charm. The night you lost it, you looked so anxious, like you lost something really important."

Yeah, to him, that thing was the last vestige. The final link between him and her.

Perhaps seeing the melancholy in Clark’s eyes, Rosemary couldn’t help but ask, "Where is she now?"

"Gone. A year ago." Clark walked to the large balcony on the second floor, staring at the distant scenery with a faintly self-mocking tone. "After breaking up with me, she vanished without a trace... Took everything with her. If not for the charm I had on me, she probably wouldn’t have left anything behind."

Clark gazed into the distance, his eyes filled with a subtle sorrow.

"Rose, this world is vast. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack to find someone. All you get is disappointment. Over and over."

Rosemary sensed the sadness in his words. "Did you two have a fight?"

"No." Clark’s voice was nostalgic. "We never fought. But near the end, she started to drift away. Eventually, she told me she didn’t have feelings for me anymore, that she was in love with someone else, and asked me to stop looking for her."

"Did she really find someone else?"

"Probably." Clark wasn’t sure, but how could she be so heartless if not?

"Does Crystal know about you two?" Rosemary asked again.

"Yeah. She confessed her feelings to me when I was at my lowest, right after she left."

"And you turned her down?"

"Yeah." Clark looked off into the distance again. "Crystal’s a good girl, but I’m just not into her. I didn’t want to lead her on."

Rosemary understood now. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Aren’t you one of Astronisia’s top hackers? Couldn’t you find out anything?"

"No, I tried everything. It’s like she never existed. Sometimes, I wonder if everything that happened between us was just a dream."

Rosemary gazed at Clark’s profile, a sudden wave of sympathy washing over her.

"What’s her name? Maybe I can help."

Clark looked at Rosemary in surprise, then realized with a jolt that his sister’s hacking skills trumped his own. Maybe she could indeed find her.

"Send me her personal details later," Rosemary said, her gaze falling on the road ahead. "If she’s doing well, there’s no need to disturb her. But if she’s in any sort of trouble, you could use this opportunity to clear things up."

Clark looked at his sister’s profile, finally agreeing, "Alright."

Serena, lurking in the shadows, was taken aback. She hadn’t realized that Clark had such a deep and haunting past. His family always assumed he was single.

But why had he only told Rosemary?

Never her, his other sister.

Rosemary knew that someone was eavesdropping from the shadows. Serena was the only one who would stoop to such levels, but Rosemary couldn’t be bothered.

After taking a shower, Rosemary received a message from Clark:

[Carol Earwood, 22, a Libra, raised in an orphanage, was adopted at the age of ​6 by a family and moved to 111 Stardust Lane in the Golden Fields of Summerfield South District. Her adoptive parents were county teachers.]

Clark also sent a photo. The woman in the picture had an aloof and indifferent air about her—stunningly beautiful.

"Got it."
