Chapter 546
Sherri bought quite a lot of items for Rose and the unborn baby. Among these items were numerous types of clothes. The clothing collection included half-back shirts, robes, tie-dye onesies, and others. However, the color of each piece of clothing was slightly overwhelming.
Since Rose’s due date was approaching, the people in the group chat were more concerned. In addition, there were two pregnant women in the group, so they could discuss with each other.
The next day, Sherri went to work as usual. The children stayed in the Landor family and were taken care of by Juana. Edward did not go to the company and stayed at home with Rose.
After lunch, the sun was very bright. Rose brought the two children to the courtyard to bask in the sun. With both hands resting on her belly, she couldn’t be more relaxed. As the pregnancy progressed, she was more cautious about visiting the Roberts family too often, and Grace didn’t allow it either.
A text message came in. It was from Grace. [Rose. Are you feeling unwell today?]
Rose replied, [No, I have a hearty appetite. Dear Grace, don’t be nervous.]
Grace continued, [If something happens, you can’t hide it from Mom. You have to call in time.] Rose agreed, [Alright, I will.]
Juana came out of the living room and prepared to carry her grandson to sleep. “Rose, go and sleep for a while. It’s quite tiring to sit. Mom has washed all the clothes Sherri bought for you last night. Just let Edward put them all in, then.”
“Okay, thank you, Mom.”
Life was very comfortable. Until the due date arrived, Rose’s belly showed no signs as if there were no reactions at all. She remained calm and composed.
Rose even suspected that this calmness could be inherited.
In the group, Ava sent a message. [ Rose, are there any signs of labor today?]
Rose was also helpless. She sent a speechless emoji with a post. [I’m just waiting.]
Sherri replied, [A week at most. If the baby still doesn’t come out, I’ll drag her out.]
Natalie sent a smiling emoji. [Maybe the baby is calmer.]
Rose sent a dynamic handshake emoji, indicating that she was thinking the same thing as Natalie. Christina’s condition was quite good. She went to work without any issues. She hadn’t experienced any morning sickness or vomiting, which had brought a lot of relief to the Turner family.
Christina sent, [Notify the group when you give birth.]
Rose replied, [Alright, Christina.]
Christina replied with a smiley face.
Perhaps because of Sherri’s arrogant words, in the evening, the little one inside the belly started to become restless. Rose began experiencing mild contractions with long intervals between them.
Edward was shocked. He knocked on Sherri’s room. At this moment, Sherri was already sleeping. After knocking for a long time, there was no response.
However, Juana and Richard came out of the room. After the due date, there were no signs of labor. The entire family was tense, afraid that something would happen. When they went to sleep at night, Juana did not dare to sleep too deeply.
She only slept at half past eleven that night. When she heard her son knocking on the door, Juana got out of bed directly. “Did Rose start?”
Edward didn’t know if it was true or not. Rose said, “I think so. Rose has a little stomachache.”
With that being said, Juana directly opened the door and entered. However, she knew her boundaries and didn’t enter the house directly. Instead, she took a few steps back and asked her son to go inside and

inform Rose.
Edward walked straight to the bed. He did not call Sherri. Instead, he patted Hackett’s face.
Hackett, who was sleeping soundly, thought that he was dreaming. He slapped Edward’s hand away. “I’m sleeping. Don’t be noisy. It’s so annoying.”
Edward did not give Hackett any chance to continue sleeping. He directly pulled him up, which woke Sherri up. She did not open her eyes. “Hackett, what are you doing? Stop fooling around. Let’s meet tomorrow. I’m not interested now.”
Upon hearing Sherri’s words, Juana and Richard were taken aback.
Edward’s head throbbed. He suddenly felt that his mother’s idea was very wise. If the two of them were in the Blackwell family now, he would probably not be able to count on them. He would not even be able to count on them even if they slept next door.
Inside the room, there were his sleeping nephew and niece. Edward had the urge to turn on the lights and pull Sherri out directly, but he sighed and suppressed his anxiety. “Sherri, you have one minute to go and check on Rose’s condition quickly,” he said urgently.
“Rose?” thought she.
Suddenly, Sherri sat up abruptly and quickly got out of bed. Although her mind was not fully awake, she found herself outside the door before she realized it. Concerned that her daughter was not fully alert, Juana pinched Sherri’s neck, causing her instant pain and bringing her back to full consciousness, even faster than drinking a cup of coffee.
She hissed in pain. “Mom, what are you doing?” She couldn’t help but wonder, “Murder at night?” Juana said confidently, feeling that her actions were especially appropriate, “I’m afraid that your mind isn’t clear, and you’ll misdiagnose.”
Sherri thought it made sense, and she couldn’t refute it.
When she entered the room, Rose was in good condition. Sherri asked about the situation. “Every few minutes? Is it very painful? Lie down, and I’ll touch your stomach. The uterus is definitely not open. Don’t be nervous.”
