She saw Justin standing there, quietly watching her.
Rosalie gave him a small smile.
"Justin, it's getting late. You should rest early," she said.

Rosalie let out a gentle sigh. "It was a bit troublesome, but at least it distractedfrom thinking about Grandma. Now that they've left, I'm starting to think about it again." Seeing that Rosalie was on the verge of tears, Justin immediately stepped forward. "Should I call them back? With their constant bickering, the house would be lively again." Rosalie was amused. "That's not what I meant. Don't worry, I'll manage my emotions. This too shall pass. I just want to find evidence to prove Grandma was murdered." As she said the last sentence, her expression turned somber.
"I'll help you investigate. Until then, I'm not going anywhere," Justin said.
Rosalie lifted her tear-filled eyes to look at him. "Thank you for not acting like them today." "I don't want to pressure you, so I stay out of such matters. I can tell they both care deeply for you, so they can't help but compete to win your favor." "I don't need them to win my favor in such a way. I prefer someone like you-calm and quiet." Justin didn't pressure her and didn't join Sebastian and Yerick in competing for her favor, and she was grateful.
However, the moment she said that, Rosalie regretted it. Her words seemed ambiguous and could easily be misunderstood.
So, she quickly added, "Justin, I mean they don't need to try so hard to please me, and neither do you." "Rose, you don't need to worry that I'll overthink. My only concern is for your peace of mind. If you'd feel better withgone, I can leave right now." Whatever he did, he always prioritized her feelings rather than his own.
"Justin, that's not what I meant. You're fine here. You can stay as long as you want." Justin nodded. "Alright, I understand. If anything makes you uncomfortable, just letknow." "Alright. You should go back to your room. You're not fully recovered yet, so you need to rest early," Rosalie softly said.
"You rest early too," Justin said before turning to head back to his room.
Rosalie also returned to her bedroom.
In the bathroom, Rosalie cried silently as she showered.
