What could be seen in Rose's eyes now was indifference and determination and she didn't want to accept any of Sky's kindness at all. Even if she had once been his little spoony girl, her resolve stayed still.
She'd seen through everything to let all the past and missed gone. There was nothing to regret or lament, as it wouldn't make any difference to do that.
They were supposed to keep such status and distance and it would be better for both of them.
After observing the earnestness in Rose' eyes and listening to the determination in her words, Sky clearly felt that his faint hope was fading away, being anxious and painful.
"Rose, why? I just want a chance to make up for you? Is it that hard?" Sky still tried hard to ask for a chance, while she still stood aloof, which made her request unacceptable for him.
"I've already asked you to get out of my life and this is the acceptance that I've given to you." Rose, again, stressed her thought, "And stop making any fruitless efforts."
"Perhaps it makes no sense for you, but for me, it does." Sky remained stubborn to insist on his idea, "You're my lifesaver and I should return with much favor. If it were not for your sacrifice, I would not be as healthy as I am. You give this life to me."
"Though I can't do what you ask, I will try my best not to bother you. But I won't give up what I'm supposed to do. Your rejection doesn't represent my returns. Rose, those things that are meaningless for you are my reason to live on."
Sky's clear words of sincerity showed his firm determination, despite her rejection.
He would only do what he needed to do silently to make up for her.
Rose was annoyed and slightly frowned at him, "Mr. Tanner, why? You don't owe me anything. You should remember that you also saved my life when we were young, so I did the same to you five years ago to thank you for your kind deeds."
"So we've been even a long time ago and don't owe each other. You don't need to be stressful to have such thought. That's what I want to say and I have no more words for you, so Mr. Tanner, behave yourself."
"Rose, I—" Sky was interrupted by someone who said, "Who are you?"
Sky looked at the person who dressed up as a local. Because of his farming in the fields under the exposure to the weather, the man looked suntanned, with his special image of a rough and strong farmer.
"Rose, this is one of the chickens I have raised. I captured one for you and Mr. Wilfred." Rose had no idea how many times Dudley Jonsen had come to the Young Family.
In the last few days, he would always make some excuses to look for her, while she found no chemistry between them.
"Dudley, we also have some here, so just keep it for yourself." Rose found it really hard to resist his passionate reception.
"Mine is different from Mr. Wilfred's. No need to treat me with politeness." Dudley carried the chicken and showed it to Rose, "Just take it."
"I don't, but we still have some here..." Dudley interrupted Rose again, "Mr. Wilfred is getting older and you look so thin and weak and you even need to take care of a little child...You don't know how to kill the chicken. I'll help you do that before I leave."
"Dudley, don't bother." But he still did it on his own way in disregard of her rejection.
He passed by Rose and Sky, pushed the door and went in.
