Chapter 479
Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
Chapter 479 Edward tried to minimize the noise of his footsteps as he walked into the room. He sat gently on the side of the bed and leaned against the headrest.
He turned on his phone and started scrolling through the dayâs news.
He had no intention of waking Rose up yet. The girl on the bed was sleeping soundly, and he sat beside her and quietly accompanied her.
A bed with a lovely couple silently spending their morning on it.
One was sleeping while the other was accompanying silently.
There was no definition of satisfaction. To a hungry person, a bowl of oatmeal or a slice of bread was satisfaction. To a person who worked overtime every day, a day off was also satisfaction. There was no limit to satisfaction. It depended on what one wanted.
At this moment, Edward was satisfied with what he had.
At 10.50 p.m., Edward, who had been reading the news for almost an hour, felt his eyes were slightly sore. He took off his glasses with his slender fingers and rubbed his eyes. He closed his eyes and put them back on again. Then, he looked at the time on his phone screen.
It was almost time for lunch, but Rose was still deep asleep. There was a blissful smile on her face. To be honest, he was a little reluctant to disturb her sleep. He reached out and patiently stroked her delicate face as he called her name gently, âRose... Rose...â
His voice was too soft and gentle that it could not wake the sleeping Rose.
Having no other choice, Edward smiled and pinched her delicate nose dotingly. Only then did Rose respond a little. Rose was displeased to be awakened in the middle of her deep sleep. She frowned and squinted her eyes. âIs it time to have lunch?â
In her half-awake state, she still knew that she had to eat. At least her mind was clear while she was asleep.
Edward was still as gentle and patient as ever. However, the following sentence made Rose jump out of bed. âYes. Your brother wants you to get up and have lunch at the restaurant with him.â
âWho?â Her eyes, which were originally squinted, were now wide open. She looked surprised and puzzled. She was dumbstruck and snapped out of her drowsy state instantly.
Edward smiled and patted her head. He said calmly, âYour brother, Frank.â
She knew it!
Rose sat up instantly, forgetting she had been âexercisingâ last night, She grimaced and gasped in pain. That was really not Edwardâs fault. She had been requesting it repeatedly and was addicted to it.
Edward was also exhausted. When Frank texted him early in the morning to talk, his legs trembled as he walked to the lounge with Frank.
âAre you feeling uncomfortable?â asked Edward worriedly.
Rose sighed deep down. She knew she had to limit her desires. The impact of excessive exercisingâ was strong. She felt like she had been forcefully asked to do a split. It made her wonder if she would look like a clown when she walked later.
Actually, Rose wasnât the only one who thought this. Edward had also decided not to let his desire overtake his rationale like Rose in the future. He had to control his urges. Otherwise, he might exhaust himself sooner or later.
Rose reprimanded herself deep down. She had brought this upon herself. âHey, hubby, letâs not let our desire overtake us anymore.â
Hearing this, Edward chuckled. âOkay. Let me massage you.â
H Otherwise, if she went to have lunch with her brother under such conditions, Frank would be so pissed off. Roseâs muscles were indeed sore. She lay flat and let Edward massage her. Enjoying the massage, Rose asked, âHubby, have you met my brother? Is he in a good mood? Did Ava come along with him?â
Edward did with him.â
not see Frankâs fiancée. He did not know if she was here. âI only saw your brother. I didnât see your sister-in-law Edward answered Roseâs question honestly.
Rose panicked. Who could stop her brother from going berserk if Ava was not around? Edward could not possibly fight with her brother. Rose was troubled by the thought of facing her brotherâs rage.
âDonât worry. Frank isnât that angry. We had a good chat just now. If your brother scolds you, blame it on me. Iâm a man.â At most, he would be beaten up.
However, the conversation in the morning was not bad. Frank had no intention of beating him up.
Rose slapped Edwardâs arm. âAre you stupid? Youâre a man, not a scapegoat. Iâm his sister. At most, Iâll be scolded. If my 1/8-
15.5557 Chapter 479 brother interrogates me later, donât interrupt. Iâll protect you. Stand behind me.â
Half an hour later, Rose took a pink dress from her suitcase and put it on. After all, today was their first day of marriage, so she felt she had to dress more glamorously. Wearing jeans and a T-shirt would be too casual.
After putting on a pair of macaroni-colored shoes, she walked out of the room, holding Edwardâs wrist, and headed toward the dining area.
Soon, they arrived at the dining area.
Ava woke up half an hour earlier than Rose. Frank said that he would have lunch with Rose at noon. So, Ava immediately got up upon hearing that.
They had been waiting in the dining area for some time.
As soon as Rose entered the restaurant, she saw her brother from afar. She quickly let go of Edwardâs arm and ran over to Frank. âFrank, why are you here? Did you miss me? I told you to come along with us on this trip.â
Edward thought, âIf Frank came along, the probability of us getting married would probably be zero. Fortunately, he did not agree to come.â
Ava smiled as she watched Rose speak to Frank coquettishly to flatter him. Then, she politely greeted Edward, âEdward, please take a seat.â
Frank raised his head slightly and glanced at Edward. Then, he looked at his sister, who was already Edwardâs wife, in disdain. There were faint hickeys on her neck and collarbone. One could imagine how unrestrained Edward had been last night.
He had calmed down. But when he saw the marks on Roseâs collarbone, he felt Edward should have cared more about his sisterâs body. âBaby Ava, you donât have to greet him first. He should be greeting you instead.â
Edward took his seat beside Rose. He poured a glass of water for Rose and placed it in front of her. âAva, please donât stand on the ceremony. You are now my sister-in-law. I should be the one greeting you.â
âAh... Alright..â But, to Ava, Edward was still eight years older than her, and she had always respected him like an older brother.
âFrank, what do you want to eat? Iâll buy you this meal. Today is my first day of marriage with Edward. Letâs order something special and take it as our wedding banquet. Let me tell you, I forced...â
Edward had already admitted in the lounge that he was the one who had convinced Rose to get married. He did not want his lie to be exposed. He pulled Roseâs arm. Even though Roseâs head had turned around looking at him, she did not stop talking.
âI was the one who forced Edward to get married. Iâll take responsibility for my actions. You can scold me if you want.â
Ava silently gave Rose a thumbs-up from the other side of the table. Frankâs attention was on the two of them, so he did not see Avaâs actions.
In the end, he fixed his gaze on his sisterâs righteous face. She looked like she took responsibility for her actions and did whatever she wanted. Frank was speechless. He frowned and said, âYouâre quite loyal and responsible.â
Edward quickly said, âThe responsibility is mine. Rose only mentioned it briefly. Iâve always had this thought in mind, so I was the one who did this.â
They were united and even spoke up for each other, trying to protect their loved ones.
Frank remained silent. Seeing that the atmosphere was awkward, Ava chuckled and tried to smooth things over. âFrank, Iâm hungry. Letâs order some food and talk while eating.â
Meeting the little girlâs expectant gaze, Frank picked up the menu and ordered. After ordering the little girlâs favorite dishes, he gave the menu to his sister beside him. âOrder.â
Edward said, âThis meal is on me.â
âRose, youâre getting married. Frank and I havenât gotten you a wedding gift yet. Hmm, why donât we go shopping later? Weâll pay for what you choose.â No matter what, they had to give them a wedding gift. Besides, Rose had already said that they wouldnât hold a wedding.
Ava noticed Roseâs gaze. She seemed to be afraid that Frank would scold her. Today, Rose was like a timid hamster. She continued. âIâve discussed it with Frank. Letâs go together in the afternoon. We want to go shopping too.â
Actually, this suggestion was made by Ava. As long as she suggested it, Frank would agree. However, Ava had analyzed this matter carefully. She knew that Frank was not dissatisfied with Edward. It was just that he could not bear to part with Rose. There were two lovey-dovey couples at the table. Frank was serving Ava, and Edward was helping Rose with the cutlery. They ate for more than an hour.
Seeing that Frank was no longer angry, Rose served food to her brotherâs plate and smiled. Frank didnât mind. As long as his sister was pleased, it was fine. He served her to express his acceptance. However, he did not say he had accepted it, but the signal from his actions indicated that he was relieved.
2/3â
15:55 Chapter 479 Frankâs actions made Rose extremely happy. She knew that her brother would not be angry with her. âFrank, Iâll buy you a gift later.â
She was trying to curry favor with him.
Frank thought, âIs she going to take the pocket money I gave her to get me a gift?
âWhatâs the point?â
After the meal, the four of them hailed a cab. Edward sat in the front while Frank, Rose, and Ava were in the back. Ava held Frankâs left hand, and his sister grabbed his right arm.
Ava and Rose had been chatting across Frank. âRose, have you thought of what you want as your wedding gift?â
Edward glanced at Frank in the backseat through the rearview mirror. He happened to see Frank staring at the back of his head. He looked away and smiled.
It was useless to be dissatisfied. Rose was his wife, and they wouldnât get a divorce.
Rose raised her head and pondered. She had everything at home. She did not lack watches, bags, or jewelry. Grace would bring a lot back whenever she went on a business trip. What should she buy?
âFrank, what do you want to buy for me?â
Frank snapped. âHow would I know what you need?â
They arrived at the mall in Haililand. It was the most prosperous place in Haililand, and it was also the world of the rich.
Two lovely couples... No, a dating couple and a married couple wandered the mall, trying to find something they liked.
Suddenly, Avaâs eyes lit up. She patted Frankâs arm beside her. âFrank, that looks good. Should we buy it as a gift for Rose? Take a look.â
Frank stopped and looked in the direction the little girl pointed. He saw an Eastern royal wedding design model in the transparent glass cabinet. It was eye-catching and unique.

ï¤Chapter 478 My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise ï¤Chapter 227 Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen ï¤Chapter 340 Edward and Rose, who were walking side by side, also stopped at the same time. They stood at the door and looked at the assembled model through the glass window. They could not help but be astonished by its beauty.
Rose was already attracted to it. She liked these types of decorations. The model was stunning. The luxurious model reminded her of Sherriâs wedding.
It looked so real. Its craftsmanship was terrific.
She could not help but pull Edward in. Ava was also attracted. It would be a pity not to go in and look closer. âFrank, letâs go take a look too.â
The little girlâs eyes were shining with anticipation. âOkay, weâll buy and assemble it if you like it.â
