Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 493

After saying the good news, it was time for the bad news. They were still excited about the good news.

Rose said the bad news. Even Edward, who was beside her, wanted to know what the bad news was.

Rose said, “The bad news is that you’re going to be grandpa, grandma, and uncle.” She laughed suddenly.

Edward was speechless.

After hearing the bad news, Grace, William, and Frank heaved a sigh of relief. Frank really wanted to slap Rose. He

thought, “Why is Rose so childish?”

Perhaps because this surprise came too suddenly, the three people on the sofa did not say anything. At that time,

there were tears in Grace’s eyes.

William looked at Rose with mixed feelings. He pursed his lips and did not speak. He was no longer as cute as usual.

Instead, he was very serious.

The atmosphere was very quiet. Even Frank, who had always been sharp-tongued, didn’t say anything. Seeing that

no one was talking, Edward eased the atmosphere and expressed his stance in advance. “William, Grace, Frank, I’ll

take good care of Rose. Don’t worry.”

A promise broke the silence. They came back to their senses. William was actually at a loss for words. It was Grace

who spoke first. She smiled at Rose, hiding the tears in her eyes. “I’m glad that you will be parents.

Congratulations!”

Grace and Rose looked at each other. There were tears in Rose’s eyes, making her could not see Grace’s face

clearly. They didn’t say anything, but their feelings were transmitted in an instant.

Frank pressed his tongue against the base of his teeth and exhaled. In the end, he did not say anything.

The few of them chatted in the living room for a few hours. It was Grace who told Rose to be careful, and William

who told Edward to take good care of Rose. There was even a threatening tone in his words.

In the study upstairs, Grace couldn’t sleep. She sat alone in the study and flipped through the photos of Frank and

Rose when they were young. A tear rolled down her cheek and landed on the photo album, gradually spreading.

William pushed the door open and saw Grace secretly wiping her tears. He was heartbroken as he closed the door

again. He walked over and put his arm around Grace’s shoulder, pressing her into his chest. Without saying

anything, he quietly patted Grace’s shoulder and stroked her hair.

He companied her silently. It was so quiet that one could hear the sound of a needle dropping.

After a while, Grace moved away from William’s chest. William raised his hand and wiped her face with his fingers.

“Why are you crying like Rose? I’m not even crying. Why are you crying?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit by Grace.

William was not angry. He even smiled. “Go ahead. If you want to vent, I’ll exercise with you. Are you going?”

“Why are we going now? It’s already so late. Don’t you want to sleep?”

William continued to smile and wiped the tears from Grace’s eyes. He could understand why Grace was crying.

Sure enough, the next second, Grace took a deep breath and said with reddened eyes, “I haven’t made up for Rose

yet.” And she was getting married and becoming a mother.

At this moment, Grace was no longer as cold as usual.

William squatted down and held Grace’s hand. He kissed the back of her hand and comforted her softly. “Grace,

Rose has already reconciled with the past. It’s time for you to reconcile. Let bygones be bygones. Rose is about to

become a mother now, but no matter how old she is, she’s still our precious daughter. We can dote on her however

we want. In the future, you don’t need to say made up for her. We should dote on her.”

Outside the door, Edward originally did not want to eavesdrop, but when he heard Rose’s name mentioned, he

could not help but stop in his tracks at the door of the study.

Only then did he vaguely hear their words. William and Grace in the study were recalling Frank and Rose’s

childhood.

Frank opened the door and came out. He saw Edward standing at the door of the study, squinting. “What are you

doing?”

“Nothing. Help Rose get some water.” That’s right, a few minutes ago, Rose said that she was thirsty and wanted to

drink water. Edward went downstairs to take some.

“Do

you want to get some water in the study?”

Edward didn’t answer this question. The water in the cup sloshed for a while. “Let me ask you something.”

Frank leaned his shoulder against the wall and said listlessly, “Okay, ask.”

“I’ll send the water to Rose first. Wait for me.” Pushing open the door, Edward placed the poured water on the table

and said

to Rose on the bed, “Rose, I have something to discuss with Frank. I’ll be over in a while.”

“Okay, go. Anyway, we could not do anything tonight. You two have a good chat.”

Rose waved her hand and kept talking.

Edward was speechless.

Frank, who was at the door, did not leave. He was waiting for Edward to ask questions. Seeing him come out, Frank

brought Edward into his room to chat. Edward followed closely behind and closed the door.

After being married to Rose for so long, this was the first time Edward had entered Frank’s room. Last time, Frank

refused to let Hackett in even if he wanted to. Edward was quite lucky to be invited in.

He looked around the room and saw all kinds of dolls on the bed. The first thing that came to Edward’s mind was

that they were indeed siblings.

The bed was filled with strange things. There were strange blankets and pillows on the bed of Rose, and cute dolls

on the bed of Frank. His bed was filled with these things. It was difficult to imagine such a cold man sleeping in the

middle of a pile of dolls at night.

No wonder Hackett was not allowed to enter the room last time. Edward stood at the door and imagined the reason

why Hackett could not enter Frank’s room.

Frank looked at Edward’s confused gaze. These dolls were all prepared for the little girl. He did not intend to explain

to Edward. “Do you want to drink? How about coke?”

“Either is fine.”

Frank threw him a can of coke, which had a red shell. Edward opened it and took a sip. He asked directly, “Can I ask

what happened between Rose and Grace before? I don’t mean anything else. I just want to know their past. It’s fine

if it’s not convenient to say.”

Frank pulled a stool with one hand. The foot of the stool rotated. He sat down and stood up again. He pushed open

the balcony door and placed his hands on the railing. He still felt that it was better to talk on the balcony.

Looking down at the night scenery in the courtyard below, the night wind blew and leaves fluttered.

Edward followed closely behind and leaned on the railing. Frank’s deep voice came from beside him. “The past is

not pleasant. You know the injury on Rose’s hand.”

-Edward nodded.

That’s right, Rose had told Edward about the origin of the scar on her hand, but she did not say clearly the cause

and effect. At that time, it was not appropriate for Edward to ask too much.

Frank turned to look at Edward and thought, “This guy is indeed handsome. No wonder he has charmed Rose.” He

took away his gaze and spoke frankly, explaining the real problem of Grace and Rose.

After hearing this, Edward held the Coke tightly in both hands. His fingers pressed down on the Coke, and the crisp

sound of the Coke can was especially ear-piercing.

Frank patted his shoulder. “Don’t mention this matter in front of Rose in the future. Pretend that you didn’t hear

what you heard in the study.”

Frank could already guess that Edward must have heard William and Grace’s conversation at the door of the study.

After all, Frank was Grace’s son. In addition, Frank had always been observant. He had long guessed that Grace

would be sad.

He opened the door and came out to take a look, but he met Edward standing at the door of the study.

“Rose’s personality is more rash. You should keep an eye on her and persuade her about things she shouldn’t do.

She’s actually very meticulous, but sometimes she’s inattentive. Actually, she wants to live happily and simply.”

Frank’s eyes were fixed on a tree in the courtyard. His words were filled with worry for Rose and careful

instructions.

Edward was heartbroken for the previous Rose. He thought that it was simply because she was young and

insensible and wanted to commit suicide with someone else. He said, “I’ll take good care of her. I’ll only let her live

happily. I said that I didn’t need her to change anything. She can just be herself.”

He liked Rose who became herselfl

At noon the next day.

During the lunch break, Edward left the company and went to the Athana Hospital. He planned to accompany Rose

for lunch. He wore a mask and a cap the entire time.

“Oh my god, who are you?”

When Rose saw this strange man enter, her hands were still on the buttons of her white coat. She paused and

suddenly raised

her voice.

Edward quickly took off his mask and placed the lunch box on the table. “Rose, it’s me.”

Rose stood her ground in a daze and stared at Edward. He was wearing a casual sweater, a black cap, black

sunglasses, and a black mask. He was like an escapee.

She asked in confusion, “Why were you dressed like this when you came to the hospital to have lunch with me?” He

didn’t even call her.

Edward opened the lunch boxes and arranged them one by one. He explained patiently, “Didn’t you want to keep a

low profile? I’m afraid that I’ll be recognized if I wear a suit. I don’t want to attract too much attention.”

Why did she feel that her Edward, who was being hidden, was a little aggrieved?

Rose was dragged by Edward to wash up her hands. Edward helped to squeeze the hand sanitizer on her hand and

helped to wash it one finger at a time. She did not refuse. Instead, she enjoyed it very much. After washing up, she

even reached out her hands and held them in front of him to let him wipe them. She was very happy with a smile.

After washing her hands, Rose was pulled by him to sit down on a stool. Edward carefully placed the food in front of

her. “These dishes were made by the auntie at home. Try them.”

She was very touched. Actually, now that she could do it herself, she could also go to the canteen to eat. However,

Sherri and Natalie were not in the hospital. She didn’t want to eat alone. “Hubby, you don’t have to bring me lunch

tomorrow.”

Edward asked in confusion, “Doesn’t it taste good?”

Rose quickly waved her hand. “No, look, I still have a long time before I can give birth to a child. I’m just pregnant

now. Your company is so busy. You can’t let Richard work for you all the time. He is already old. When it’s not

convenient for me to move, you can come and help me.” Otherwise, she felt that she was useless.

Rose thought that she was touched by Edward who delivered food every day, but she didn’t want to be too

pampered.

Seeing that Edward did not respond and only kept putting food into her bowl, Rose spoke again. She picked up her

fork and took a bite of the food. “It’s delicious. Hubby, I’m serious. Look, I’m fine. I can eat well. You really don’t

have to worry so much. Even if you don’t come to eat with me, you’re still very good to me. You also take good care

of me.”

While they were talking, the door of the consultation room opened and Frank strode in. When he saw the table full

of dishes, he smiled. “The food is not bad.”

Edward invited him, “Come here.”

“I’ve eaten. You guys eat. Rose, this is for your waist.” As he spoke, he stuffed a lumbar support on Rose’s chair.

Rose instantly felt that her waist was supported. She was extremely touched. “Frank, you didn’t come to give me a

lumbar support on purpose, did you?”

The stubborn Frank did not want Rose to be too touched. “Am I very free? I bought it while I was eating. Use it. Oh,

this candy is not bad. Try it.”

Then, Frank placed a can of candy on Rose’s table and strode out of the door. The entire process took less than five

minutes.”

Frank did it quickly, but Rose knew that he was just concerned about her and worried about her. It was just that

Frank was not good at expressing himself, and he disdained to talk about what he had done.

After Frank left, Rose was touched and almost cried. She smiled and said, “Why is he so stubborn? Do you know?”

Edward took a tissue to wipe her tears that were about to fall and touched her cheek. “Although he cares about you

very much, he doesn’t want to say it.”

After a period of interaction, Edward also realized that Frank was actually cold on the outside but warm on the

inside. Just like Grace, their personalities were similar,

Frank was also very meticulous. The tenderness would only be given to those he cared about.

Rose was amused by Edward’s words. “Hubby, you’re getting cuter and cuter. Let’s eat. After eating, you have to

work hard and earn more money. I might be like Sherri. There’s not enough breast milk to feed our child.”

Edward was speechless.
