Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 323

The red sun had already slowly descended from the west. Orange-yellow light sprinkled all over

Athana, covering it with a golden blanket.

After the doctor prescribed the medicine, Edward held the medicine in his hand. His hand was still

pressed against his stomach. Rose could not bear to see it and was too embarrassed to leave first.

“Where’s your assistant?”

He wore a pair of glasses on his high nose bridge. His face was clean and smooth, and his facial

features were well-defined. His dark eyes were covered by the lenses, and his tightly pursed lips were

cold because of his discomfort.

However, he still looked quite handsome and refined. Rose glanced in the direction of his car and

suggested, “Why don’t I send you back on account of Sherri? You smell like alcohol. You must have

taken a taxi here.”

Rose guessed.

Edward refused. The daughter of the Roberts family had a natural and unrestrained personality. She

was not shy at all and was a little like Natalie. “No need. I’ll just call a taxi on my phone. Thank you.”

Throughout the entire process, Edward remained distant and polite.

He refused again and again, and Rose didn’t want to force him, so she took out her car keys from her

bag, shook them, and got ready to drive. “Okay, goodbye.”

Alas, what a pity. It was rare for her to drive by herself, but he actually didn’t want to take the car. If her

brother was in Sapphire City, she wouldn’t have had the chance to drive. Since her brother was not

here, she had the final say. The driver had to obediently hand over the keys.

After taking a few steps, she seemed to have been frozen by some magic and could not move her feet.

A voice told her that it was very immoral to walk like this. At the very least, she would be scolded by

Sherri

She thought for a moment and went back. Today, she was wearing a light green dress that revealed

her shoulders. She had the same slightly curly collarbone hair and looked very charming. “Let me send

you back. I’ll feel guilty if I don’t send you home today.”

Edward was stunned.

In the end, the two sides were in a deadlock. Rose wanted to send him off, but he did not allow her to.

A moment later. Edward compromised and got into Rose’s car.

After Rose sat down, she adjusted her emotions in the driver’s seat. She looked like an experienced

driver who was very skilled. She asked confidently. “Where do you live?”

Rose turned on the navigation and entered the destination that Edward mentioned. From the rearview

mirror, she saw that Edward was a little tired in the backseat. She took a bottle of soda water from the

car and handed it to him. She said kindly, “Take the medicine and sleep first. You’ll be there when you

wake up”

Edward sat up slightly and reached out to take the water. He thanked her politely. He didn’t know why,

but he got into the car. Perhaps it was because of Sherri. “Thank you.”

Rose especially liked this song. She felt that there were many possibilities for everything. It could be

good or bad. They could not be generalized. To ease the atmosphere in the car, she turned on the

song. The song echoed in the enclosed car.

Perhaps it was because he was too tired, or perhaps it was the effect of the medicine, Edward fell

asleep.

Rose drove at a steady speed. She sang along to the beat as she drove seriously. Unknowingly, more

than an hour had passed. Why was the navigation a little off the city?

The car continued to drive on the road. Rose looked in the rearview mirror. There were still many cars

following them. It was impossible to stop and take a look. She could only drive forward.

She drove for more than an hour. The car behind them had been following them closely. It seemed to

be driving toward the residential area where Edward lived. Rose was suspicious. Did he live so far

away? Wasn’t it very troublesome to go to work? What time did he have to wake up?

However, even though she was suspicious, she did not let go of the accelerator.

Rose thought, “If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have done a good deed. I feel a little scared after

sending him because I’ll have to go back alone.”

Unknowingly, the car had been driving for more than three hours. When she stepped on the

accelerator, her legs almost cramped. This was the longest time she had ever driven. She was about to

vomit. The car arrived at the destination, and the navigation stopped broadcasting.

Rose parked the car steadily and looked up at the road sign at the intersection, Avagreen Guardian.

followed the headlights of the car and scanned the place where she could see. It didn’t look like a

neighborhood. It looked like the entrance of a village. The houses were quite dilapidated. Was the

young master experiencing life, or did he have a different kind of hobby?

Rose retracted her gaze from afar and looked at the navigation again. There was nothing wrong with it.

Sherri’s brother had mentioned Avagreen Guardian. Rose, who had never doubted the navigation,

firmly believed that she had not gone wrong. It must be that Sherri’s brother had some secret that he

could not tell.

Just as she was thinking about it. Edward woke up. It was already completely dark. In the dark car, he

could not see the people in front of him clearly. He could only see the surrounding environment with the

headlights.

Rubbing the place between his eyebrows, his eyes under the glasses widened slightly. He

subconsciously leaned forward to look. After all, it was dark on both sides and he could not see. When

he saw his surroundings clearly. Edward’s head hurt even more. He asked tentatively, “Ahem… Miss

Roberts, did you take the wrong path?”

Judging from the surrounding environment, this was not a residential area but a countryside. Moreover,

it was estimated that it was not far from the city, but where was this?

At this moment, Edward felt a little regretful. Why did he really get into the car in such a muddle-headed

manner? He was really muddle-headed.

There was a car following them in the dark. The people in the car were whispering. One of them said,

“Boss, are we just going to follow them? Don’t we have to report to Frank that Miss Roberts is in the

countryside?”

Another said. “We can’t report it. We can only follow her. Frank instructed us not to tell Grace and the

others about Miss Roberts’s private matters. We just have to be responsible for her safety.”

“Miss Roberts drove for three hours. What is she doing here with Mr. Landor?”

“What else can she do? She’s dating”

“Aren’t we going to report this matter? Will we be scolded by Frank and the others if they find out?”

“Why are you so stupid? Frank has already instructed us to be in charge of Miss Roberts’s safety. Miss

Roberts doesn’t like to

be watched, but Frank is worried about her. He’s afraid that something will happen to her, understand?”

The bodyguard started the investigation the moment Rose got into the car with Edward. They found out

that Edward was the son of the Landor family.

The comments about Mr. Landor were all very good, so the bodyguards were especially relieved. If it

was a hooligan, they would definitely report it.

If anything happened, as bodyguards, they would be held accountable.

Rose turned around in surprise and asked Edward, “Didn’t you say that it’s Avagreen Guardian? Look,

there’s nothing wrong with the navigation.”

Edward had taken the medicine and was no longer uncomfortable after sleeping for so long. The car

was dim, and Edward felt that he had to watch her on the way back. Otherwise, he did not know where

she would drive to

If Frank knew that Edward dared to follow Rose’s navigation, he would give Edward a thumbs up. After

all, Frank did not even dare to let her drive, afraid that she would drive to the Jisin Ocean.

Edward pushed open the door and got out of the car. He opened the passenger seat and blamed

himself for falling asleep. Otherwise, he would have discovered the mistake. He sat in the passenger

seat and realized that the destination entered by the navigation was wrong. He closed his eyes and

could only accept it.

Avagreen Guardian and Evergreen Gardens were worlds apart. One was east and the other was south.

Patiently, he said. “The words are wrong. It’s Evergreen Gardens.” As he explained, he entered the

correct words on the

screen.

Rose followed his gaze and looked as if she had suddenly realized something. “Oh, so that’s it. It’s my

fault for not asking clearly. I’m sorry. I’ll send you back.”

Edward was a little worried, but he did not show it. He suggested, “I’m done resting. Why don’t I drive?”

Rose felt that she had sent him to the wrong place. She was stubborn and had to send him to the right

place. “No need. Trust my skills. I promise to send you home.”

The car was almost out of fuel, but it could still hold on for a while. There was no problem reaching the

city. Edward looked at the oil dial and couldn’t help but remind her, “The fuel might not be able to last

until Evergreen Gardens. Add more fuel according to the navigation.”

“Oh, does it show a gas station on the navigation system?” Rose acted as if she was asking a very

casual question.

Edward was speechless. He was now very sure that he had gotten into the wrong car.

Anyone who often drove to refuel knew that they could search for gas stations on the navigation

system. It seemed that Miss Roberts had never used this function.

Edward answered politely and did not discourage her. “Yes, I’ll search for you.” Otherwise, it would be

difficult to get home safely.

God knew Edward had never wanted to go home so badly.

Rose nodded seriously like a good student. She started the engine and changed direction to follow the

navigation. Edward watched from the side worriedly, but he remained silent.

Gradually, he discovered a new world. When Rose drove, her body would turn along with the car. Even

her waist would twist. At the intersection where the turn was relatively wide, her butt would leave the

cushion.

This forced Edward to speak again. He really couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Miss Roberts, may I ask how

long has it been since you drove?”

Rose drove seriously and regarded it as a casual chat. She answered truthfully, “Tve been driving for

many years. According to my driver’s license, it should be six years.”

Well, yes, she got her driving license when she was twenty.

Edward grasped the main point in a second. According to the driver’s license? So it was not the driving

time. “What if it’s according to your driving age?”

Rose did some calculations in her mind. “It shouldn’t be a full moon yet.”

Hearing this, Edward gasped. This was the most rash thing he had done in the first half of his life.

Seeing that the person beside her did not say anything. Rose felt that Edward was doubting her driving

skills. She said affirmatively. “Although I haven’t been driving for long, I have no problem driving. It’s

just that I was careless just now and didn’t ask you about the spelling. I promise to send you home.

Don’t worry. Why don’t you sleep a little longer?”

Edward didn’t dare to sleep. He was afraid that he would take the plane back when he woke up. He

wanted to say that he would drive, but it would hurt her confidence. Forget it. The car was quite stable,

but it was a little slow and her entire body still had to move.

It was as if she was dancing. It was quite tiring to watch.

Afraid of the awkward silence, Rose continued chatting. “I mainly stayed overseas for a long time. I just

came back and I’m not very familiar with the roads of Athana. I’ll get better after some time.”

A long time later, Edward discovered that a person with a bad sense of direction did not matter how

long it took. Even after 30 years. she would still lose her sense of direction. If a person with a bad

sense of direction did not follow the navigation, it was only suitable for walking in a straight line and not

for turning. As long as the navigation was wrong, the road would deviate 100%.

With Rose’s driving skills, Edward did not dare to disturb her driving. He turned off the music in the car

and watched her drive with all his attention. The car finally arrived at the entrance of Evergreen

Gardens.

His anxious heart relaxed, but at the same time, he was a little worried. After looking at the time for a

while, he realized that it was almost midnight. Miss Roberts had been driving for almost seven hours.

He was afraid that something would happen to her. “Why don’t you take a taxi home? You’ve exceeded

the driving limit today. If you drive any further, you’ll be considered tired.”

Edward sincerely suggested. After all, such a thing only happened because she wanted to send him

home. If anything happened, he would be quite responsible. “I’ll help you call. Leave the car in my

garage.”

Even without Edward’s reminder, Rose’s foot was already throbbing. If she continued to drive, she

would be crippled. She said without changing her expression, “Alright, why don’t you drive me in?

Tomorrow, just get Sherri to drive it to the hospital.”

“Sure, I’ve already called the car for you. Take it as a thank you for sending me back,” Edward said.

Rose almost wanted to say that she was repaying his kindness, but after thinking about it, she decided

not to. If he found out that she was secretly investigating him, it would be impolite. She accepted it

generously. “Alright, then we’re even. I won’t give you my fare.”

Soon, the car arrived. Rose opened the car door and got in. She thought to herself that she would

rather die than drive this month. It was better to let Tom drive her. She was too tired. She did not know

if she could still walk tomorrow. She was really exhausted.

However, Sherri’s brother seemed to be a warm man, but why wasn’t he with Natalie? This was quite

strange, but Rose wouldn’t ask about it. She definitely couldn’t tell him about his privacy.

After seeing her leave, Edward opened the driver’s seat and sat in it. As soon as he sat down, he

realized that the seat was too close to the car head. It was so cramped, but he made do with it and

drove the car into Evergreen Gardens.

After all, it was Rose’s car. It was better not to move it. Miss Roberts might not even know how to

adjust the seat.
