After hearing that Sean had also prepared a New Year's gift for Rose, Louisa's discontent finally subsided a bit. Good for him, showing some sincerity.
"Hey, how about we add each other on WhatsApp?" Sean took out his phone.
No matter what, he needed to secure his sister's contact info first, rather than going around cap in hand, with no one willing to cough it up!
Rosemary opened her QR code for him to scan. Once they were friended, Sean happily labeled her contact as "Rose" and then asked, "What's your cell number?"
Rosemary spoke a string of digits. After Sean called her to confirm, he said with indulgent affection, "This is my number. Hit me up anytime you need something."
"I never thought Sean would be the earliest bird back home this year." Kenneth chuckled, "I was betting on him to be the last one again."
"Mr. Collins, you got it all wrong about Sean. He rushed back just to see Rose, even before he was fully recovered," Steward chimed in with a timely compliment.
