Chapter 487
The next morning.
As the Roberts family’s son-in-law and his first night at the Roberts family villa, Edward, who knew his manners, woke up early. Rose had to get out of bed as well though she usually liked to sleep in.
The two couples sat in the dining room of the Roberts family at the same time and slowly started their breakfast.
Edward looked out by glancing and could not help but sigh in his heart. He could finally sit inside the house and eat breakfast without being sneaky about it.
At the dining table, Grace was very polite. She conveniently placed some breakfast that she thought was delicious in front of Edward’s. “Take whatever you like.”
Rose was smart. She was afraid that William would be jealous, so she poured William coffee and grabbed him a hotdog. She kept saying, “William, eat more.”
William nodded in satisfaction. “Okay.” Then, he acted like an elder and said to Edward, “Enjoy. It should taste better than the ones that Rose took out for you.”
At least it was warm on the dining table.
Edward nodded with gratitude and automatically ignored the last sentence that William said. Grace glared at William, who immediately shrugged his shoulders and shut up.
The only thing missing from the dining table was Frank.
After breakfast, the four of them parted ways at the Roberts family’s door. Edward politely said to Grace before they got into the car, “Dad, Mom, I’ll bring Rose home tonight.”
He wanted to say that he probably wasn’t going back to stay with the Roberts family. When he met William’s gaze, he swallowed his words.
Grace understood and replied calmly, “Sure. Be careful on your way.” She pulled William into the car though he still wanted to say something.
After getting into the car, Edward started the car and said to Rose, “Do you want to give your colleagues wedding candy? If you want, I’ll buy some at noon and send it to the hospital for you.”
She had already told her boss that she was married and even asked him to approve her request for vacation due to marriage. If she ran into him, it would be awkward if the boss asked her for wedding candy and she didn’t have any for him. After thinking about it, she believed she needed to bring some for a ceremonial feeling. A married woman’s status was not bad and could block any unwanted attention. She rolled her eyes and said, “Alright, then buy some. Thank you so much. Love you.” Edward was very happy to do it for her. “Okay, okay. I’ll buy it and send it to the hospital for you. Do you want me to show up?”
Rose said awkwardly, “Hubby, can you please not show up at my work for a while longer?” She really wanted to keep a low profile. As she spoke, she pouted and looked like a drama queen.
Edward nodded helplessly. Since Miss Roberts requested him to be invisible, he would be invisible. Even if he did not appear, he would still be Rose’s husband. This identity would not change.
“Okay, then I’ll send the things to the hospital at noon. Are you coming to get them or is Tom coming to get them?”
Rose stretched and pushed her legs forward. “I’ll let Tom come get it. Thank you so much.”
The car arrived at the hospital very quickly. Rose put on a big smile and walked into the outpatient building. The nurses at the side and the people at the reception desk greeted her.
“Good morning, Dr. Roberts. Dr. Roberts, come here.”
It was still early. Rose walked to the reception desk and leaned against it. “What’s wrong? Any big news?”
the nurse thought, “Aren’t you the big news?”
A few people leaned close to Rose and whispered, “I heard that you took so many days off to get married. Is that true?”
It was indeed so. Fortunately, her husband was thoughtful. Otherwise, she would have forgotten about the wedding candy. While smiling and leaning against the reception desk, Rose tapped her finger on the counter and admitted publicly, “That’s right. Didn’t I apply for marriage leave a few days ago?”
After receiving an affirmative answer, the nurse asked in confusion, mainly because it was too sudden. “Dr. Roberts, didn’t you go on a trip a few days ago?”
How did she get married?
Rose smiled. She did not intend to tell everyone what had happened. She simply wanted everyone to know about her happy feelings. She said in a relaxed tone, “I picked up a husband while traveling, isn’t that funny?”
Seeing the blissful smile on Rose’s face, the nurse did not want to find out whether what she said was true. She only partly believed it. After all, Rose’s marriage was real. So the nurse sincerely congratulated her. “Congratulations, Dr. Roberts.”
“Thank you. I’ll give you some wedding candy during lunch. I’m leaving for work. Bye.”
When they were usually free, the receptionists would often chat with Rose and the other two. Looking at Rose’s back, they truly sent her their blessings.
At the same time, there was also an element of envy, because, in everyone’s impression, Rose was always carefree and relaxed.
At noon, Edward handed two boxes of candy boxes to Tom. When Tom took them, he was still dumbfounded. Not many people knew that Rose and Edward had registered their marriage. “Mr. Landor, is this for Miss Roberts?”
Edward placed the box in the trunk of Tom’s car. He clapped his hands and instructed, “Yes, send these things to Rose.”
Tom was still puzzled. This was wedding candy. Wasn’t Miss Roberts and Mr. Landor not married yet?
Seeing Tom’s puzzled and confused expression, Edward explained to him, “I’ve already registered my marriage with Miss Roberts. You can keep your share of this. Thank you for everything.”
With that, Edward left Tom, who didn’t know how to react. He got into the car, started the engine, and drove away. He did not have much time to waste. He still had to decorate the new house with Rose tonight. Now, it was time to buy the materials Rose wanted.
Tom stood alone in the parking lot for a while before coming back to his senses. He looked at the two boxes of candy in the trunk and finally realized what was going on. He quickly took a box of wedding candy and placed it in the front passenger seat. He was overjoyed. He was the first person to have Miss Roberts’ wedding candy and the first person to hear the news.
He eagerly sent all the sweets that Edward gave him to Rose’s consultation room. Rose gave a few boxes to the people she was familiar with in different departments. Some of them came to ask for them themselves.
When she went to work in the afternoon, she met some children who often came to visit. Róse also gave them wedding candy. The children’s innocent smiles and gratitude made Rose feel even happier.
