Chapter 545
Time passed quietly.
In the blink of an eye, it reached Memorial Day.
the Turner family came to visit their family grave in the morning as usual. However, Joseph Turner was missing this year. The reason was simple. Christina Yamin was pregnant, so he had to stay in Sapphire City to accompany her.”
After visiting the grave, Mr. Turner, Mrs. Tuner, and Ava Turner bid farewell to Natalie and directly left for the airport to return to Sapphire City. They did not stay for long and left in a hurry.
Ava and Frank only had a bit of time to meet each other in the car.
No matter the weather, as long as he could still move, Theo would go to the cemetery to see his late wife every year. Every year, he would say to her, “Old hag, wait for me. I should be almost there. Don’t be anxious.”
This year, Theo was the happiest. He originally wanted a great-granddaughter, but Natalie gave the Wilson family a surprise and had two kids at once.
A few months later.
It was getting closer and closer to the due date of Rose’s pregnancy. There was only one week left. Under the urging of the Landor family and the Roberts family, Rose took an early maternity leave.
At the Landor family.
Rose finished her dinner and leaned against the sofa. She placed one hand on her waist. Her waist was very sore. She twisted it. Edward raised his hand to massage her. “Is it sore here? Or is it here?”
Perhaps it was because he had just pressed the right spot. “Oh, yes, yes, yes. It’s here. Rub it right here.”
“Am I using too much force?” Edward rubbed it a few times. He wouldn’t dare to use too much strength and asked gently.
“You are good. I feel much better now.”
Richard Landor came out of the study and walked down the stairs. He glanced at his loving son and daughter-in-law on the sofa and advised, “You should stay at home starting tomorrow.”
“Right, right, right. It’s safer this way. For the next few days, you need to stay by Rose’s side. She will feel more at ease with -you at home. The company is not as important right now. Our family’s priority now is to take good care of Rose,” Juana
Landor agreed with her husband. There was nothing more important than her daughter-in-law giving birth.
Besides, there was still a week before her due date. Who knew when she would give birth?
Then, Juana instructed, “Rose, sit for a while longer and go to sleep. Get Edward to stay with you.”
Rose replied, “Got it, Mom.”
“Oh, right.” Juana was all over the place. It gave Richard a headache. Fortunately, his daughter-in-law did not care However, she reminded her, “Can’t you talk slowly? Don’t make a fuss. Also, please lower your voice.”
Juana was not angry at her words. She calmed down and said, “I’m too agitated. I’ll call Sherri and ask her to stay with us for a while. If anything happens at night, she’s a professional after all. She can be useful.”
Rose was speechless. She turned to look at Edward and smiled. The meaning in her eyes was that his mother seemed to be
too nervous.
Edward leaned close to Rose’s ear and replied, “I agree with letting Sherri come over. That way, I’ll feel relieved as well.”
The call was connected. Juana sat down on an armchair. With one hand on her waist, she said at the top of her voice, “Are you at home or having fun out there?”
On the other end of the phone, Sherri felt that her mother had installed a GPS on her body. “Mom, how did you know that I’m outside? I’m hanging out with Hackett, Ruby, and Liam.”
Liam referred to Sherri’s son. It was more convenient to call him that. His real name was Liam Blackwell.
In the mall, Hackett was holding his daughter. Beside him, Sherri was pushing a small cart. Inside the cart was her son, who couldn’t walk. It was rare for this family of four to come out to the mall.
It was because the season had changed and the clothes of their son and daughter were not big enough. The couple, who liked to dress
up, were prepared to come to the mall to buy some new clothes.
Sherri received the call after they had just finished a meal. They haven’t started shopping yet. Juana glanced at her daughter-in-law on the sofa and gave an order like an empress. “Come to our house after you’re done shopping. Before your sister-in-law gives birth, you’ll stay here to prevent any unexpected situations.”
Seeing that it was silent on the phone, Juana thought that the signal in the mall was not good and continued to shout, “Did you hear me?”
“I heard it, I heard it. I’ll come over with Hackett after buying the clothes.”
There was one benefit to frequenting her parents’ house. She did not need to bring anything with her. She could move in anytime by simply going there.
After hanging up the phone, Juana asked Edward to help Rose upstairs to rest. Lying in bed should make her feel more comfortable than sitting down. Juana, who had given birth to two children, knew how hard it was.
In the room, Rose touched her bulging belly and leaned against the back of the bed. Edward took a soft pillow and placed it on her waist. “Are your feet sore? Do you want me to massage them for you?”
Rose stretched out her legs and said without any pretense, “Massage them, Hubby. I think I’m treated like a queen now. I feel bad for Sherri. She’s been ordered around by her mother for the past few months during my pregnancy. There were a few times when Sherri complained that she was the adopted child while I was the biological one. That was hilarious.”
