Chapter 414
Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
Chapter 414 William, who was cooking seriously, did not see his daughterâs daze.
Creamy potato soup kept boiling in the pot. William picked up a bowl and scooped a little. âRose, help me taste how this soup is.â
Rose was washing the cabbage. She was going to make a salad. âOkay.â
Rose turned around and drank from Williamâs bowl. William was afraid that it would be hot, so he blew on it again. He was still worried and reminded Rose again, âSlow down. Be careful. Itâs hot.
This scene happened to be seen by Grace, who was done with her work. She looked at this scene with mixed feelings and subconsciously smiled.
âAre the two of you preparing to finish eating before coming out?â
Rose shifted the blame. âGrace, William made me drink it. Go ask him.â
âHoney, do you want to try it? Rose, how does it taste?â
âItâs so delicious. You donât need to add any more salt,â Rose replied with a cheerful smile. This atmosphere was wonderful, making her feel warmer than dining at a fancy restaurant. The food William prepared was truly delicious. Every sip of the soup she took in seemed to spread warmth throughout her body Roseâs cooking speed was relatively fast. In a few moves, she was done. Grace instructed the evening shift servants and maids to take a day off. The three of them harmoniously prepared for the pre-dinner arrangements.
William was in a good mood. He poured himself a glass of red wine and another for Grace. âGrace, Rose and I cooked together today. Do you want a bit of red wine to join in?â
âOne glass will be okay. There was work to be done that night.
Grace instructed, âRose, have a drink.
âOkay, then Iâll have apple juice. Itâs for vitamin supplements.
Anyway, Rose did not like the taste of alcohol. It could be said that she never drank it. Even if she went to play with her friends, she would say that she was allergic to alcohol.
Rose had a low tolerance for alcohol. The most she could handle was fruit wine, but the condition was that she had to be around people she trusted to drink. Living on her own, she had learned to be cautious, At the dining table, Rose leisurely ate the dishes cooked by William. The taste was really good. âWilliam, your culinary skills are not bad.â
Seeing his daughter eating so happily, Willian was satisfied. âIf you like it, I will come back early and make it for you every day.
When William said that, he was happy but also a little sad. âGrace, the salad, the pasta, and the meatball were all made by Rose. I didnât help at all.
Try it.â
Graceâs hand that was holding the fork paused. She glanced at her daughter who was eating seriously as if nothing had happened opposite her.
Grace picked up the fork and ate some. As she chewed the vegetables, tears welled up in her eyes. Grace kept her head down and forced the tears back. âYour culinary skills are not bad either.
Rose changed the topic to smooth the atmosphere. âThen Iâll cook with William in the future. Our maids might lose their jobs. Father-daughter teamwork is a perfect match when it comes to getting things done.
âWilliam, if Frank canât support this family in the future, the two of us will definitely make a lot of money by opening a restaurant.â
Upon hearing this, William raised his hand and high-fived his daughter. This action made Grace smile. Her sadness dissipated as she looked at the father and daughter joking in an indulgent manner.
In the end, William and Grace ate all three dishes of Rose, leaving not a single vegetable leaf behind.
In the room on the second floor, Rose was lying in her tortoise shell after taking a shower. She sent Edward a 1. The secret signal was successfully connected.
Edward sent over the video call in an instant. Rose looked at Edwardâs room in the video. It was extremely monotonous and as clean as Edward himself. It was very simple. âYour room is the same as you.â
In front of the screen, Edward was wearing pajamas, and glasses, and had an unlit cigarette in his mouth. He had originally planned to smoke after taking a shower, but now that he had picked up the video call, he did not plan to smoke any more. He took the cigarette from his lips and placed it on the table.
âIs it not nice?â Edward asked.
1/4 16:12 Chapter 414 âNo. Itâs just quite simple. Let me show you my room. My parents helped me design my room. It looks good, right?â
Rose scanned the room with her phone and pointed the camera at herself at the end.
âIt looks pretty good. Did you buy your tortoise shell online?â Edward also sat on the bed and leaned against the back of the bed.
âYes, itâs cute, isnât it? Last night, I bought a very interesting quilt called the sandwich quilt. Actually, there are many types of quilts in that shop.
Thereâs a cabbage quilt, a pizza quilt, and a tomato quilt. In the end, I think the sandwich quilt is the best pleasing to the eye.â
Edward was stunned for a moment. It was hard for him to imagine how it felt to cover himself with a blanket like a sandwich.
In any case, Frank had already reminded Edward, and Rose had new ideas every day. Edward had plenty of opportunities to experience and adapt to the uninterrupted joys of life.
âWhen the quilt arrives, feel its quality and see how it is. If itâs of good quality, Iâll buy one too.â
âDo you like strange things too? Frank detests it very much. Even my tortoise shell is despised by Frank. He keeps saying that Iâm crazy to buy such strange things. Actually, Iâm telling you that Frank has double standards. If Ava buys this thing. Frank will happily hide in it to sleep. Now that heâs done proposing, he still doesnât come back.â
Rose took advantage of Frankâs absence to complain. However, she was still happy for Frank. They were finally engaged. Edward felt that Frank was really good to Rose and wanted to explain on Frankâs behalf. âActually...â
The knock on the door interrupted what Edward wanted to say next. Rose lowered her voice and said, âWait a moment. Donât say anything.â
After saying that, Rose placed her phone on the blanket and went to open the door barefooted. âGrace, whatâs wrong?â
Outside the door was Grace. She came with snacks again. There were two big bags of snacks. This time, it looked like the high-end snacks were all imported. âItâs not good to eat potato chips too often. I bought you some dried fruits, canned fruits, and nuts.â
Rose felt a little guilty. She scratched her head, not knowing if she should call Grace in. âThank you, Grace. I love you.â
âYou...â
âEdward, do you want to eat watermelon? Your dad bought a very sweet watermelon today.â A sudden voice interrupted Grace.
Rose was stunned for a moment.
Rose busily waved her hand and said, âIâm on a video call with Sherri. I think itâs her momâs voice.â
Roseâs smile was a little awkward. Grace naturally noticed it and did not expose her. âContinue chatting. Eat less at night. Iâll go to the study.â
âOkay, Grace. Good night.â
âOkay, good night. With that, Grace left.
Rose closed the door and exhaled. She patted her chest and jumped to the side of the turtle. She picked up her phone. Edward was probably afraid that she would not be able to explain if Grace heard the sound and hung up the video call.
In the end, Edward even sent a message. [Iâll call you later.]
Rose replied, Okay.]
When Grace returned to the study, she felt that something was wrong. She was sitting on a chair, her mind elsewhere. One hand was half-clenched by her mouth, and the index finger of the other hand tapped on table. William, who was at the side, asked curiously, âWhatâs wrong, honey? Is there anything you donât understand?â
âDo you know anything about the Landor familyâs son?â
Graceâs sudden words made William very puzzled. âNo, didnât we see him once when Trevon held the wedding banquet last time? He looks quite refined and polite.
William didnât know much about Edward, but at the wedding, he felt that Juana wanted to ask about Rose. William thought about it.
Seeing that Grace was still silent, William asked again. âIs there something wrong? Didnât Frank cooperate with him on transportation? Did something go wrong?â
Grace stretched out her hand and made a banning gesture. âDonât talk for now. Iâll make a call.â
2/4 16:12 Chapter 414 After Grace said this, William really didnât say anything. With just a look, William knew that Grace had found a clue. The call was connected on the other end, and Frankâs voice came through. âHelloâ
Grace went straight to the point. She saw the panic in Roseâs eyes and the embarrassment she was hiding. If Rose was chatting with Sherri, this would not be the case. âIs Rose in a relationship?â
William at the side was totally shocked.
At Sapphire Hotel. Frank had just taken a shower and was about to dry Avaâs hair when he received a call from Grace. His phone was on speaker.
There was nothing that Ava could not hear. When Frank heard this, he turned off the hairdryer and picked up his phone to answer seriously.
Ava, who was sitting quietly, was also shocked when she heard this. Rose was in a relationship. Who was her boyfriend?
What was going on?
Frank frowned. âWhat do you mean?â
Didnât Frank tell Rose to be reserved?
Frank and Ava just got engaged a few days ago, but Rose was already in a new relationship?
Frank pinched the area between his eyebrows that was hurting. What a troublemaker. Rose had promised just to know about Edward. But what did she do? Graceâs voice overflowed from the phone. âYou know?â
Frank replied honestly, âIâm at Sapphire City.â
How would Frank know?
Then, Frank added, âGive me five minutes. Iâll call her. I have a way,â
After saying that, Frank hung up the phone and touched Avaâs head. He looked at Avaâs confused eyes and said, âWait for me.â
Frank used one hand to make a call and the other to wipe Avaâs hair. Seeing that he was very busy, Ava took the towel from his hand. âIâll do it myself.
You call first.â
Frank sat down and placed Ava on his lap. He took the towel from her hand again and said, âUse my phone to call Rose.â âOkayâ Ava sat on Frankâs lap and called Rose. Frank wiped Avaâs hair carefully inch by inch.
The call was quickly connected, and the speaker was turned on. It was Frank who asked Ava to do so. âFrank, whatâs the matter?â
âYes, my men saw you getting out of the same car as Edward. Tell me. Whatâs the situation? Didnât you tell me that you were just to know about him?
Whatâs the matter now? Are you in a relationship?â
Rose, who didnât doubt Frankâs words, panicked. Before she could confess, she was seen by Frankâs men. âWhat a coincidence. Athana is so small. I was just waiting for you to come back to tell you. How would I know that you wouldnât be able to come back?â
Is your reservedness separated from you? Are you a fool? Is the phone just for show?â Frank was very angry and mercilessly exposed Rose with three consecutive questions.
Ava held the phone with one hand and kissed Frank on the lips. She whispered into Frankâs ear, âDonât be so fierce.
Frankâs back stiffened, and his Adamâs apple moved unconsciously. Ava listened to the gossip while playing with his Adamâs apple. She was very curious and played with it happily.
âThen Iâll be honest with you now. Weâve only been in a relationship for a few days. Actually, you canât blame me for this. Itâs mainly because you and Ava are so happy. I was envious of you two and wanted to have a sweet relationship, so I agreed to Edward...
âThe night you proposed, he came to the airport to pick me up, and I promised him. Well, thatâs it. Iâm done confessingâ
Roseâs attitude was very proper. âI didnât tell Grace and William. Frank, could you help me tell them? Iâm too embarrassed to say it.
Frank was furious. âYou are so bold to be in a relationship secretly, but you donât have the courage to tell Mom and Dad? Did you tell Edward when youâre coming back?â
âNo, I definitely didnât tell him. Iâm not crazy. Why would I tell others in the middle of the night that Iâll be in Athana? Besides, it was early in the morning.
Frank understood. Edward had waited at the airport. He was quite determined.
âAlright, Iâm hanging up. Iâm busy.â

Rose was stunned for a moment. So what was the point of making this call?
What should Rose do next? What were Frankâs opinions?
