CHATBOT: William opened the door, looking surprised but pleased to see her. "Hey there, sweet and sticky little darling. What brings you here?" he teased. Rose explained what had happened at the Xu family's house, feeling ashamed of her need to escape. William listened sympathetically and invited her inside, offering her a glass of water. As Rose sat down, she noticed a chessboard on William's table. "Do you play?" she asked. "I know how to move the pieces, but definitely not at your level," William replied with a chuckle. Rose smiled, feeling comfortable in William's presence. She realized that despite his teasing, he was genuinely caring and protective of her. As she sipped on her water, she thought about her family and wondered how they were doing. She hadn't spoken to her brother in weeks, and she missed him terribly. She also felt guilty for keeping secrets from the Mason family, Karen, and even William. William noticed her melancholy expression and asked, "What's on your mind?" Rose hesitated for a moment before mustering the courage to speak, "William, can I trust you?" William's smile faded as he regarded her seriously. "Of course, you can. You know that." Rose took a deep breath before revealing her biggest secret yet, "My real name is Li Xiaocai. I'm not an orphan, and I have a family. But I'm not sure where they are, and I'm afraid of what might happen if anyone finds out." William's expression softened as he listened, "I see. You do have a lot on your plate." Rose nodded, feeling relieved to have finally shared her secret with someone. She didn't expect William to understand completely, but he surprised her by saying, "I understand the importance of keeping secrets. And I promise to keep yours safe, no matter what." Rose felt grateful for William's understanding and support. For the first time in a while, she felt hopeful that she might find a way to reconcile her love for chess with her family and identity.
