Chapter 323
The red sun had already slowly descended from the west. Orange-yellow light sprinkled all over Athana, covering it with a golden blanket.
After the doctor prescribed the medicine, Edward held the medicine in his hand. His hand was still pressed against his stomach. Rose could not bear to see it and was too embarrassed to leave first. “Where’s your assistant?”
He wore a pair of glasses on his high nose bridge. His face was clean and smooth, and his facial features were well-defined. His dark eyes were covered by the lenses, and his tightly pursed lips were cold because of his discomfort.
However, he still looked quite handsome and refined. Rose glanced in the direction of his car and suggested, “Why don’t I send you back on account of Sherri? You smell like alcohol. You must have taken a taxi here.”
Rose guessed.
Edward refused. The daughter of the Roberts family had a natural and unrestrained personality. She was not shy at all and was a little like Natalie. “No need. I’ll just call a taxi on my phone. Thank you.”
Throughout the entire process, Edward remained distant and polite.
He refused again and again, and Rose didn’t want to force him, so she took out her car keys from her bag, shook them, and got ready to drive. “Okay, goodbye.”
Alas, what a pity. It was rare for her to drive by herself, but he actually didn’t want to take the car. If her brother was in Sapphire City, she wouldn’t have had the chance to drive. Since her brother was not here, she had the final say. The driver had to obediently hand over the keys.
After taking a few steps, she seemed to have been frozen by some magic and could not move her feet. A voice told her that it was very immoral to walk like this. At the very least, she would be scolded by Sherri
She thought for a moment and went back. Today, she was wearing a light green dress that revealed her shoulders. She had the same slightly curly collarbone hair and looked very charming. “Let me send you back. I’ll feel guilty if I don’t send you home today.”
Edward was stunned.
In the end, the two sides were in a deadlock. Rose wanted to send him off, but he did not allow her to. A moment later. Edward compromised and got into Rose’s car.
After Rose sat down, she adjusted her emotions in the driver’s seat. She looked like an experienced driver who was very skilled. She asked confidently. “Where do you live?”
Rose turned on the navigation and entered the destination that Edward mentioned. From the rearview mirror, she saw that Edward was a little tired in the backseat. She took a bottle of soda water from the car and handed it to him. She said kindly, “Take the medicine and sleep first. You’ll be there when you wake up”
Edward sat up slightly and reached out to take the water. He thanked her politely. He didn’t know why, but he got into the car. Perhaps it was because of Sherri. “Thank you.”
Rose especially liked this song. She felt that there were many possibilities for everything. It could be good or bad. They could not be generalized. To ease the atmosphere in the car, she turned on the song. The song echoed in the enclosed car.
Perhaps it was because he was too tired, or perhaps it was the effect of the medicine, Edward fell asleep.
Rose drove at a steady speed. She sang along to the beat as she drove seriously. Unknowingly, more than an hour had passed. Why was the navigation a little off the city?
The car continued to drive on the road. Rose looked in the rearview mirror. There were still many cars following them. It was impossible to stop and take a look. She could only drive forward.
She drove for more than an hour. The car behind them had been following them closely. It seemed to be driving toward the residential area where Edward lived. Rose was suspicious. Did he live so far away? Wasn’t it very troublesome to go to work? What time did he have to wake up?
However, even though she was suspicious, she did not let go of the accelerator.
Rose thought, “If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have done a good deed. I feel a little scared after sending him because I’ll have to go back alone.”
Unknowingly, the car had been driving for more than three hours. When she stepped on the accelerator, her legs almost cramped. This was the longest time she had ever driven. She was about to vomit. The car arrived at the destination, and the navigation stopped broadcasting.
Rose parked the car steadily and looked up at the road sign at the intersection, Avagreen Guardian.
followed the headlights of the car and scanned the place where she could see. It didn’t look like a neighborhood. It looked like the entrance of a village. The houses were quite dilapidated. Was the young master experiencing life, or did he have a different kind of hobby?
Rose retracted her gaze from afar and looked at the navigation again. There was nothing wrong with it. Sherri’s brother had mentioned Avagreen Guardian. Rose, who had never doubted the navigation, firmly believed that she had not gone wrong. It must be that Sherri’s brother had some secret that he could not tell.
Just as she was thinking about it. Edward woke up. It was already completely dark. In the dark car, he could not see the people in front of him clearly. He could only see the surrounding environment with the headlights.
Rubbing the place between his eyebrows, his eyes under the glasses widened slightly. He subconsciously leaned forward to look. After all, it was dark on both sides and he could not see. When he saw his surroundings clearly. Edward’s head hurt even more. He asked tentatively, “Ahem… Miss Roberts, did you take the wrong path?”
Judging from the surrounding environment, this was not a residential area but a countryside. Moreover, it was estimated that it was not far from the city, but where was this?
At this moment, Edward felt a little regretful. Why did he really get into the car in such a muddle-headed manner? He was really muddle-headed.
There was a car following them in the dark. The people in the car were whispering. One of them said, “Boss, are we just going to follow them? Don’t we have to report to Frank that Miss Roberts is in the countryside?”
Another said. “We can’t report it. We can only follow her. Frank instructed us not to tell Grace and the others about Miss Roberts’s private matters. We just have to be responsible for her safety.”
“Miss Roberts drove for three hours. What is she doing here with Mr. Landor?”
“What else can she do? She’s dating”
“Aren’t we going to report this matter? Will we be scolded by Frank and the others if they find out?”
“Why are you so stupid? Frank has already instructed us to be in charge of Miss Roberts’s safety. Miss Roberts doesn’t like to
be watched, but Frank is worried about her. He’s afraid that something will happen to her, understand?”
The bodyguard started the investigation the moment Rose got into the car with Edward. They found out that Edward was the son of the Landor family.
The comments about Mr. Landor were all very good, so the bodyguards were especially relieved. If it was a hooligan, they would definitely report it.
If anything happened, as bodyguards, they would be held accountable.
Rose turned around in surprise and asked Edward, “Didn’t you say that it’s Avagreen Guardian? Look, there’s nothing wrong with the navigation.”
Edward had taken the medicine and was no longer uncomfortable after sleeping for so long. The car was dim, and Edward felt that he had to watch her on the way back. Otherwise, he did not know where she would drive to
If Frank knew that Edward dared to follow Rose’s navigation, he would give Edward a thumbs up. After all, Frank did not even dare to let her drive, afraid that she would drive to the Jisin Ocean.
Edward pushed open the door and got out of the car. He opened the passenger seat and blamed himself for falling asleep. Otherwise, he would have discovered the mistake. He sat in the passenger seat and realized that the destination entered by the navigation was wrong. He closed his eyes and could only accept it.
Avagreen Guardian and Evergreen Gardens were worlds apart. One was east and the other was south.
Patiently, he said. “The words are wrong. It’s Evergreen Gardens.” As he explained, he entered the correct words on the
screen.
Rose followed his gaze and looked as if she had suddenly realized something. “Oh, so that’s it. It’s my fault for not asking clearly. I’m sorry. I’ll send you back.”
Edward was a little worried, but he did not show it. He suggested, “I’m done resting. Why don’t I drive?”
Rose felt that she had sent him to the wrong place. She was stubborn and had to send him to the right place. “No need. Trust my skills. I promise to send you home.”
The car was almost out of fuel, but it could still hold on for a while. There was no problem reaching the city. Edward looked at the oil dial and couldn’t help but remind her, “The fuel might not be able to last until Evergreen Gardens. Add more fuel according to the navigation.”
“Oh, does it show a gas station on the navigation system?” Rose acted as if she was asking a very casual question.
Edward was speechless. He was now very sure that he had gotten into the wrong car.
Anyone who often drove to refuel knew that they could search for gas stations on the navigation system. It seemed that Miss Roberts had never used this function.
Edward answered politely and did not discourage her. “Yes, I’ll search for you.” Otherwise, it would be difficult to get home safely.
God knew Edward had never wanted to go home so badly.
Rose nodded seriously like a good student. She started the engine and changed direction to follow the navigation. Edward watched from the side worriedly, but he remained silent.
Gradually, he discovered a new world. When Rose drove, her body would turn along with the car. Even her waist would twist. At the intersection where the turn was relatively wide, her butt would leave the cushion.
This forced Edward to speak again. He really couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Miss Roberts, may I ask how long has it been since you drove?”
