Chapter 160 - Time Traveling Joke



The party went on for about an hour after Rose received her award and they decided to go home immediately without waiting for the fun that comes afterwards. Noah tried to persuade her to stay using the delicious delicacies to be made available and the dance that will take place.

Rose was firm about going back home and Noah had no choice but to give up her persuasion. She made sure to exchange contacts with Rose since she was serious about being Rose's new friend. When Rose asked her why she wanted them to become friends, she simply said that it was because she found Rose to be a very interesting person.

When she could not persuade Rose with that answer, she finally said that it was because she wanted the privilege that she will definitely enjoy when Rose becomes Queen and she will love it if her name gets included in history as the Queen's best friend which was close to impossible depending on how close they were and how much of an impact Noah made on Rose's life or in the kingdom.

Noah was not giving up and Rose did not try to stop her. On the way back home, Rose thoughts went towards her mother's friends including her foster mother. They were all people who stood by her mother and smiled at her openly but they were the same people who abandoned her mother and possibly betrayed her mother.

"Are you okay?" Liam had to ask her when he noticed the unhappy expression Rose wore. Rose had been quiet and her mind was so occupied that she did not even spare him a glance as she looked out of the window into the blackness of the night.

"Hmm?" Rose asked turning to see Liam. She was shocked to see that he had already taken off his mask and his handsome face was visible in the dim light of the car.

He moved to where she sat down and made himself comfortable beside her. "You don't look too good," he told her his observation. Lifting his hands, he brought them to her face and reached for the mask. He untied it and removed it from her face. With her face now in full view, he placed the back of his hand on her forehead and nodded in approval. "You don't have high temperature."

"I am fine, I just need to rest," she told him calmly.

"If you don't enjoy occasions like this, you should not attend. It is best that you avoid things that you don't like or things that stresses you," he advised her. He reached towards her and tucked a few strands of her hair that made their way to her face.

​ "I am not stressed. It was fun. At least I could accept that," Rose said pointing at the award on the seat she placed it.

"You did not look like you were having fun at all. Do you have anything against such parties that you want to talk to me about?" Liam asked in a tone that told Rose of how much he cared and how much he wanted her to be aware that he cared.

Rose looked at him. His grey eyes were visible enough in the dimly lit car because she could easily see the sincerity in his eyes. "No, I am fine. I just need rest," she told him firmly. Some things of the past are just meant to stay hidden or locked up forever to avoid the pain they might bring.

Liam knew she was not willing to talk about it and he did not push any further and leaned his back against the backrest of the chair. He wanted to be happy but since he had mentally tied his happiness to Rose, he prioritized her happiness above his happiness. He was willing to do almost anything to ensure that she was happy.

He bent towards her and placed his head slowly and cautiously on her shoulder. "I come from the future," Liam suddenly told her one of his biggest secrets.

"Uh?" Rose asked shocked. She turned to look at him with her eyes wide opened. She thought of what might have made him come up with such a sudden unexpected joke. Since it was a joke, she decided to smile.

"I am serious," he said with a serious expression looking up at her face from where his head rested on her shoulder. It was actually a very pleasant surprise that Rose did not shrug him off.

Rose concluded that the expression he now wore was to make the joke funnier and she decided to chuckle softly. Don't people laugh at jokes?

Liam knew that she was only faking the expressions she showed him including her smile and laughter. "You might not believe me but someday soon, I will prove it to you," Liam said smiling slightly. Since she decided not believe him, he knew there was no way he could persuade her vocally without a solid proof.

"I will love to see something from the future, Mr. Time-traveller. What if I say I have lived two lives?" Rose asked looking at him fully to see every expression in the dimly lit car.

Liam smiled at that because he thought she was saying that because of the 'joke' he just told her. "It actually sounds cool," he said still smiling. "You are really not good at making jokes but I really want to know what you were in your past life. Were you a butterfly? Or were you a Queen from a century ago?"

"I was none of that. I was actually a poor orphan that was killed to satisfy the cruelty of my stepmother's heart and her desire to see me die in the most miserable way," Rose replied as a matter of fact. Those were the things she had in her memory. It was not sure that what she had in her memories was what truly happened to her but that was all she brought from her past life.

"You might have had a dream when you were in coma because there is nothing in this world like past life. No one dies and return with the memories of a past life that clearly does not exists," he told her seriously. He realized the reason why she said something like that from her answer and it immediately took him to his past which is most people's future where he had to do everything to make this possible.

"I did not expect you to believe me," Rose said without offense. She did not mind that he did not believe what she believed in because she did not tell with the aim of making him believe. "It is funny how someone who doesn't believe in past lives believes in time travelling," Rose said jokingly.

"Time travelling is actually very logical and I will prove it to you," Liam said earnestly. "Perhaps you travelled through time and you are actually thinking you have a past life."

Rose did not take what he said seriously and moved her gaze to look out of the window. "Tell me what will happen tomorrow."

"One of your father's cousins will die from cancer. He is actually sick in the hospital as we speak," Liam suddenly whispered serious.

Rose shivered. She had expected something less serious. He sounded like he meant but she refused to believe it.. As she thought of it, she felt living a new life sounded more reasonable than time travelling but what she did not know was that Liam was also thinking of the same thing.
