Chapter 396
Time passed day by day. It felt like everyone was living their lives, following the prescribed order.
They went to work, got off work, and went home.
In the blink of an eye, half of May had passed. On this day, after work, Rose hid in her room. After meditating, she realized. that her brain had been very abnormal recently. She hid in the large-sized tortoise plush bed that she had bought online.
She hid herself inside it. When Frank returned home, she was already asleep inside it. He pressed between his eyebrows and realized that his sister’s recent actions were strange. She was either meditating or letting herself go. She looked like a lunatic and seemed to be possessed.
He patted the turtle shell, but there was no reaction. Rose was sleeping soundly.
Frank helplessly took a blanket from the bed and covered her with it. He slowly closed the tortoise’s shell a little before leaving and going to his room.
In the Landor family’s residence, Edward was lying on the bed. He turned on his phone. He subconsciously clicked on Rose’s profile picture and entered her post page. He found that the post she had sent an hour ago was, I need to be the turtle’s companion for some time. Please don’t ask me to be brave. Thank you.]
The young lady’s posts were all as unusual as herself. The words she used were all strange.
Ordinary people really couldn’t understand it.
Since he was bored, Edward flipped through the posts of Rose one by one. He read it with interest and smiled from time to
time.
It was obvious that Rose liked to share her happiness.
The only thing she didn’t share was her family background and mansion. She was different from those wealthy young ladies who flaunted their wealth in this aspect. Many wealthy young ladies in Athana always shared on their social media where they went to play or what collections they auctioned off.
How did Edward know about the daily sharing of these young ladies of wealthy families? He could see it from the headlines. Every day, there were different articles and popularity. Like which lady bought something worth more than 20 million dollars and which lady did charity. It was all to establish a persona and leave good impressions.
Only Rose was living like a passerby.
The door opened with a click. Sherri was wearing a conservative dress as pajamas. She held a fruit plate in her hand and walked in affably, “Edward, have some fruit.
Edward was also wearing pajamas. When he saw his solicitous sister enter, he naturally pressed the lock button on his phone. The phone screen instantly turned black. It was placed upside down on the blanket. He looked at Sherri and asked, “Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about? There must be a reason for you to send me food so late at night.”
Sherri sat down on the bed and even took off her shoes. It hadn’t been long since she had pregnancy reactions, and she only vomited for a few days before feeling better. She looked like she was prepared to talk all night. “Edward, you’ve misunderstood me too much. Am I that kind of person? Have you forgotten the plane ticket I bought and the hotel I booked for you last time?”
Edward subconsciously recalled the picture in Artroyland last time. A scene flashed across his mind, but he reacted quickly. “You sure you have no purpose? Then if you do later, I won’t say yes. Let me make it clear first.”
“I don’t. Look, Mom send me to be a special agent, right? But I know my limits, and this field isn’t my forte, so I chose to be honest with you. Let’s talk about it face to face.
Sherri honestly said that. It was a little difficult to play tricks in front of Edward.
If she chose to be honest, she might be able to find out something from Edward’s expression.
“What does Mom want to ask about? My marriage?”
Edward crossed his arms and leaned against the back of the bed. It was hard to tell if he hated it or not. He only guessed that it was the question his mother wanted to ask. Recently, because Sherri was pregnant with a second child, Juana became
even more anxious.
However, this could not be blamed on Juana. As parents, when they saw no girls by their son’s side when people of their son’s age already had several children, like Trevon, who had almost three children, it was inevitable for them to be anxious.
Sherri nodded and asked seriously, “Edward, just tell me. Do you have a girl you like? Don’t worry. As for what we would talk about tonight, I won’t tell Mom about anything you don’t allow me to. I promise to only report to our mother what you allow.”
Sherri was worried that Edward would not believe her, so she even raised her hand to swear. Edward looked helplessly at his family, who were all anxious for him. He reached out, took her hand, and pressed it on the blanket.
“Ask whatever you want. I’m not sure about the girl I like. I need more time to be sure. But there’s a girl I have a crush on
Sherri seemed to have heard something huge. She was so shocked that she could barely speak. After a while, she reacted and asked curiously, “Who is it? Who is it?”
Edward had an indifferent expression on his face. He looked as calm as usual, so his sister could not tell who she was. “I can’t tell you now. Wait a few more days”
This time, Sherri was even more anxious. How could she wait? “Edward, this is where you’re wrong. You should copy Frank. Look how fierce he is when he makes a move. If Ava said that she missed Frank, he would fly over from Athana overnight without a word and return in the early morning. Direct, right? Now, Ava loves Frank so much.
“Waiting is the easiest way to miss an opportunity. I mean it. No one is waiting for you at the same spot. It’s fine if the girl you have a crush on is ugly or not outstanding. Perhaps not many people will like her, but there’s a chance that someone will still like her. There’s a certain risk. If the girl you have a crush on is good-looking and popular, your risk factor will be off the charts. Someone might confess to her while you’re waiting.”
Edward frowned when he heard that. “Where did you learn all this logic? Did Hackett teach you that?”
“I know it because I’m just a bystander. You’re confused by the situation. Didn’t you say that you don’t know if you liked her? Then I’ll use the soap operas I watched to analyze it with you. It’s not your fault. You’ve never been in a relationship
before.”
Sherri’s sense of superiority in this aspect immediately rose. She couldn’t compare to her brother in other fields. But in terms of relationships, she surpassed her brother. After all, her brother was still a noob.
A moment later, just as Sherri thought that her brother was going to reject her, Edward’s gentle voice sounded. “Tell me about it.”
Her brother’s action made Sherri feel a hundred times more energetic. She was extremely excited as she slapped her thigh and said, “Alright, I’ll analyze it for you. When I’m done, I guarantee you’ll be enlighted and be able to get your wife immediately.
As soon as she was happy, she became arrogant and started to talk nonsense. She received Edward’s cold gaze. Sherri knew it and hurriedly stopped. I was just too happy. I’m so happy”
She was so happy that her brother had someone he had a crush on. It made her happier than knowing her leader was having an affair.
Sherri moved her butt inside. “Then I’ll use the people around me as an example to you. Let’s see what you think about it. As for whom? Natalie and I are married, so we’re not suitable to be the example. Let’s say, Rose. I was only making an analogy, not saying that you must think of Rose as someone you have a crush on. Look, isn’t Rose good-looking and cute? She also makes everyone happy. Moreover, she’s from a wealthy family, but she doesn’t have the arrogance and superiority. of those rich girls. Isn’t she very likable?”
Edward didn’t answer this question. He didn’t know how to answer it either. He was waiting for his sister’s next big move. “Rose is already 26. Shell be 27 after the new year. The people in our hospital don’t know she’s from the Roberts family. Recently, many outstanding doctors have come to ask about her preferences. I had wanted to set you guys up, so I lied and said that Rose isn’t planning to date now.
“Next, we’ll start analyzing. If you like Rose, hypothesis, if you like her, then when someone covets her, if you’re anxious, uncomfortable, and worried, it means you care about her. Also, a few days ago, Rose told me she was kissing a man in her dreams. I suspect that she has a boy she likes. You have to keep this a secret. You can’t tell anyone, not even Kyle.”
Sherri reminded repeatedly.
After hearing this, Edward frowned. “Someone she likes?”
Sherri was too focused on speaking to notice the change in Edward’s expression during the process. She finally had the chance to act as a teacher. She was so excited that she forgot that she was there to observe her brother’s expression. During this period, she did not capture any of Edward’s expressions. “Well, these are all girls’ little secrets. You don’t have to care about this. I’ve analyzed so much and already given you an example. Think carefully. Do you only have a good impression of her? Or have you fallen for her without even knowing it? Edward, if you like her, make a move quickly. Just Do It. Come
