Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon) novel Chapter 488

Chapter 488

During dinner.

Rose was staying in the Landor family for the first time. Edward was worried that she would feel uneasy, so he was extremely

attentive to her.

With Sherri and Ruby lightening things up, the atmosphere was quite pleasant and the dining room was filled with laughter and joy. Everyone had a smile on their faces. Even Richard, who usually did not talk much, would occasionally ask Rose to

eat more.

After dinner, Juana urged his son to take Rose upstairs and warned her daughter not to be nosy, saying “Hurry up and go to your room to sleep.”

She continued to criticize her in a low voice, “You’ve been so idle all day. Go upstairs and check if the child is hungry. Hackett has already bathed Ruby, but you’re lying on the couch like a slug. Aren’t you ashamed?

“Hackett spoils you too much. Look what have you become?”

Sherri automatically developed selective hearing and continued to lean against the couch with her legs crossed. “Mom, shouldn’t you be happy that Hackett treats me well? Or would you rather him hit me?”

“Quit your backtalk and go upstairs now. Your brother and sister-in-law have already gone upstairs. What are you doing in the living room alone? Don’t you need to wake up in the middle of the night to feed the baby?”

Although Juan was telling Sherri off, she actually wanted her daughter to get some rest because sitting too long was not good for her health. She might have spoken harshly, but she meant well.

Postpartum care is critical to ensure that a woman is recovering properly from pregnancy and delivery. Some people think that taking good care of yourself during the postpartum period would be like a reboot of health. But If you don’t recuperate well, you may be afflicted with minor ailments for the rest of your life. Therefore, Juan hoped that her daughter could sleep earlier.

Upstairs.

With her hands behind her back and her eyes glancing around the room, Rose looked very much like a manager inspecting the work site. Edward walked behind her like a subordinate who was solely responsible for following and not talking.

As long as his superior did not provide any comments, he could only stay muted.

After inspecting for a while, Rose finally said, “Edward, your room really reflects your personality. You prefer simple things, but I like something interesting. Will you be okay with that?”

It was not surprising that Rose asked the question because Edward’s room was very plain and minimalistic. It had only two colors, with a grey bedsheet and white walls. There was not even a single potted plant.

Rose hoped to add a bit of greenery to brighten up the space.

Upon hearing this, Edward pushed up his glasses, wearing a sweet smile on his face. He took a few steps forward and wrapped his arm around Rose’s waist as they walked in. “I lived alone and was used to it being simple. Kyle bought the sheets in double and gave me one. But now that we’re living together, it doesn’t have to be so simple. You can decorate it however you like as long as I live with you.”

Rose’s eyes lit up. “Really?”

“Yes.”

“Great.”

Next, Edward told her everything about the trophies on the shelf and the certificates, making Rose feel that he had married a scholarly genius.

In the dead of night, everything went quiet.

Rose and Edward took a shower and sat on the bed in matching pajamas. When Edward was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep, a playful idea suddenly crossed Rose’s mind.

She turned Edward’s face to her and squeezed his face together with his hands, contorting it into a funny expression. She found it hilarious and giggled. Edward also indulged her without taking her hands away.

After making fun of the man for a while, Rose suggested seriously, “Hubby, why don’t we go to the new house now?”

“Now?” Edward thought he had misheard. Initially, he had planned to bring Rose over after finishing renovating the house. And Rose could add some decorations to have a sense of participation.

Rose nodded decisively. Worrying that Edward would think that she was unsure, she nodded a few more times. “Yeah, now. Is that okay?”

Then, she played coquetry with Edward by scratching his chest like a kitten. It tingled Edward’s senses. Taking a deep breath, he agreed to his wife’s request even if he didn’t want to.

“Okay. Get up.” If they didn’t leave then, he figured they wouldn’t have to go because his woman was too provocative.

The two of them quietly opened the door and tiptoed downstairs, walking one after the other as they worried that they would wake the others.

Upon reaching downstairs, they gently closed the door behind them. Edward stood in the courtyard and opened the trunk of the car. “I’ll go get my things. Give me a minute.”

“Did you buy anything?” Rose walked over and craned her neck, trying to peer inside, practically putting her whole head into the trunk.

Edward pulled her back to prevent her from hitting the trunk. “Balloons. I forgot to take them out during the day. Let’s go.”

The new house Edward bought was two houses away from his current house. There was a villa in between. After scanning his fingerprint, the door was opened. he did not enter immediately. Instead, he took Rose’s hand and asked patiently, “Which finger do you prefer for a fingerprint?”

Rose raised her hand in a daze without understanding right away what he meant. A few seconds later, she said, “It doesn’t matter. Whichever finger will do.”

Edward did not get a definite answer. So, he took it upon himself to use the index finger of Rose’s right hand for the fingerprint recording. The door closed, and after scanning Guoguo’s fingerprint, the door opened again with a click.

All the lights in the living room were on, making it as bright as daytime. The decorations were luxurious and comfortable.

The house that Edward bought was inspired by royal interiors with a romantic touch. The floor was laid with cream-colored tiles. The sofa in the living room was light pink and there were several ottomans beside it. In the center was a transparent crystal coffee table with flowers on top.

The windows were floor-to-ceiling, providing ample natural light. In one corner of the living room, there was a huge green turtle-shaped bean bag, which appeared to be custom-made.
