Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife-Chapter 53

After dinner, Phillip took Rose on a tour around, finally reaching the top floor for a distant view.

"Now it’s getting dark and you can’t see the view very clearly. But during the day, you can see beautiful flowers, streams, and distant mountains. Rose, you should definitely come and check it out when you

have the time." Phillip said.

"Sure." Rose glanced at the time, her voice gentle, "It’s getting late, I should head back."

"Don’t leave." Phillip was a bit reluctant, "Can you stay a bit longer?"

"I’ll come to see you next time." Rosemary said.

Seeing Rose about to leave, Phillip quickly signaled to his butler, Brodie, who immediately understood his intentions and discreetly ordered the servants to prepare.

Just as Rose reached the first floor living room, led by Romeo, all the lights in the villa suddenly went out.

"What’s going on?" Phillip feigned ignorance, "Why is there a power outage all of a sudden?"

"Weird, we’ve lived here for years and have never encountered this situation before! Let me go check what’s wrong. Hang tight, I’ll be right back." Brodie said,

Brodie played dumb and quickly went downstairs.

"Romeo, take Rose to the sofa for a while." Phillip then ordered a servant nearby, "Go find some candles and emergency lights."

"Sir, didn’t you collect some really nice emergency lights before?" A servant asked pretentiously.

"That’s right, you guys go look for them." Phillip also found an excuse to leave.

The living room was left with just Romeo and Rose.

Romeo smiled. The villa clearly had a backup generator. So even if the power went out, there wouldn’t be complete darkness. Was the old man deliberately making a chance for them to be alone?

Rose waited for a long time and checked the time, "It’s already half past eight. Let’s go."

If she stayed too late, her parents would worry.

Romeo pulled her into his arms, "It’s still early. Stay with me a little longer."

"I’ve been with you for a long time already today." Rosemary said.

"Just a few hours, not enough." Romeo held her even tighter, "I want to stay a little longer."

Rose was speechless. Why was he so clingy?! He used to be so cold. freёnovelkiss.com

"Let go of me. What if grandpa sees." Rosemary said.

"He’ll be even happier if he sees us." Romeo said.

Upstairs.

Brodie saw Phillip coming up and quickly whispered, "Sir, over here!"

Phillip hurried over, squeezed next to him to look downstairs, "How’s it going, any progress?"

"They’re just chatting, no substantial progress." Brodie said.

"Romeo, you blockhead! It’s so dark in the room, why isn’t he kissing her?" Phillip thought for a moment, "Is the atmosphere not romantic enough? Have someone take those petal lights and LED candles down there."

"Alright." Brodie said.

Soon, the living room was decorated with beautiful petal lights and LED candles on the tables,suddenly creating a romantic ambiance.

"Hold on." Rosemary stopped a servant who was setting up candles, "Tell my grandfather, I’m ready to leave."

Faced with this sudden situation, the servant was a bit flustered, "Miss, the entire house is out of power, could you wait a bit longer before leaving?"

"It’s already too late. I need to go." Rosemary said.

"But, the front door is locked. You can’t get out." The servant said.

Rosemary was puzzled at this.

"Each door is a special electronic smart door. If there’s a power outage, the doors can’t be opened."

The servant said.

"Don’t these doors have USB ports? You can just use a power bank to charge it." Rosemary offered a solution.

But then the guy replied, "The USB port is gone."

"What about the spare key?" Rosemary asked.

"Uh, lost that too." The servant answered.

"Well, take out the dead battery from the door lock and replace it with a new one." Rosemary suggested.

"No spare batteries either." The servant said.

Rosemary was speechless. How come these servants didn’t have anything prepared for the door?

Seeing his shifty eyes, Rosemary quickly caught on and smirked.

"Just go tell my grandpa that I’m ready to leave." Rosemary got up, ready to go.

"Miss, please wait, let me inform Mr. Phillip. Please stay here." The servant said.

Seeing Rosemary determined to leave, he hurried off to find Phillip.

Phillip waved his hand dismissively after hearing her story, "No worries, I’ve already had the USB port removed and the spare key and battery hidden. She can’t leave unless the power comes back on."

As Rosemary approached the front door, she noticed signs of the USB port being tampered with and the hidden spare key and battery were missing, obviously taken away.

She smirked, turning to the man before her, "Your grandpa sure went to great lengths for you."

"It’s for you." Romeo held her, word by word, "He likes you a lot and wants you to stay."

Rosemary thought, "Stay? So this guy can take advantage of me? No way!"

She placed her fingers on the key pad, punching in a few numbers. Soon enough, the door swung open.

The servants around were stunned. How did the young miss do it? The door was clearly locked. Didn’t Mr. Phillip say it was impossible to open without power?!

Romeo didn’t expect her to bypass the system, rendering the password useless. This girl knew a lot of tricks.

"I just keyed in randomly, let’s go." Rosemary was the first to walk out the door, but hadn’t gotten far when she heard a voice.

"Miss, please wait. Mr. Phillip suddenly had a heart attack, please come and check!" The servant shouted out.

Rosemary was speechless. Though suspicious, she hurried over to help. A servant led the way with a brown emergency light, taking her to Phillip’s room.

"Oh, my heart." Phillip laid in bed, pretending to be ill.

"Grandpa, where do you feel uncomfortable?" The moment Rosemary’s hand touched his wrist, she knew what was up.

"Miss, how is Mr. Phillip, is he okay?" Brodie asked.

Rosemary smirked, retracting her hand, and lazily replied, "He’s perfectly fine. If I must say something,he probably ate too much and is feeling a bit bloated."

Phillip and the butler didn’t expect Rosemary to catch on so quickly that he was faking; they were both taken back.

"Grandpa, you should rest." Rosemary didn’t call him out, but gently said, "I really should go home If I’m out any later, my parents will worry!"

"Miss, please stay! If the master has an emergency in the middle of the night, we won’t be able to find a doctor in time." Brodie tried hard to convince her.

"Yes, you can stay in the room on the third floor. Romeo’s room is on the other side of the corridor, you two will be separate." Phillip added.

"Most importantly, it’s been a long time since the house was this lively! You and the young master are always busy with work, we don’t know when you’ll be able to visit again." Brodie said.

"You’re the daughter–in–law of the McMillian family. It’s only reasonable for you to stay at the McMillian’s! If you feel it’s not proper, I can arrange for you two to register your marriage at the town hall right away!" Phillip said.

Rosemary was speechless. This was really unnecessary.
