Chapter 426 Just as Ava was disappointed, Frank opened the door and entered.
Seeing that the little girl on the bed had woken up, Frank took off his shoes and lay down beside her again. He asked in a low voice, “Are you up?” Ava looked at her husband in a daze and said, “Frank, | seem to have forgotten to give you extra points. | want to give you extra points for your performance. You're already at 91 points.” He smiled as he fiddled with her hair, his palm pressed against her head. The little girl's eyes were huge and clear and bright, as if they could draw people in. “Okay. Want to get up?” He asked again.
“No, give me a hug. There wasn’t much time left. They were going back in four days. Ava wanted to cling to Frank openly.
He definitely had to agree to such a simple request from the little girl. He stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his arms, hugging her along with the blanket.
A muffled voice sounded in his arms. “Let's not go out today Up to you.” He gently stroked the back of her head.
Artroyland’s Pigeon Plaza.
Countless pigeons fluttered and landed on the ground. Their pure white feathers seemed to be a thick layer of snow. Their red agate-like eyes and dark red feet stepped on the ground.
They kept chirping. A girl with shoulder—length hair was squatting in front of the countless pigeons. The hair on one side of her face was tucked behind her ear, revealing a round plate earring. As the girl fed the pigeons, it kept swaying. Her tight top vividly displayed her graceful waist, and she was wearing a pair of ripped jeans.
Squatting on the ground, she stretched out her fair and smooth arm and scattered pigeon food. In an instant, the pigeons in the square were attracted by the girl and surrounded her. Their sharp and red little mouths nodded and pecked the ground. In the distance, a well-dressed man pressed the camera button on this beautiful image. There was a click.
A girl with a smile as warm as the sun was squatting on the ground. A group of pigeons surrounded her. The scene was as beautiful as a painting.
With a few swift actions, he set the photo as the wallpaper of his phone.
The girl turned around with a smile, like a ray of light shining into the man’s heart. Her voice was filled with joy. “Edward, look.
This pigeon seems to be thanking me. Don't sit on the bench. Come along.” Upon hearing this, Edward stood up and glanced at the photo he had secretly taken just now. He stuffed his phone into his pocket and walked to her side. He tugged at his pants and squatted down beside her. “Do you still have pigeon food? Should | buy some more?” “There’s no need. | won't feed them after this. If we feed them a little and the others feed them a little, I'm afraid that the pigeons will die. I'll give you some.” Edward was speechless. They wouldn't die, right? After all these years, he had never heard of pigeons dying from being too full.
As he spoke, Rose pulled Edward's hand and opened it. She placed some pigeon food on top of it and gestured for him to feed them.
Edward was happy to do these things with her. He felt that it was very meaningful. His life had always been calm. He acted according to the scale in his heart. Thinking back, he was quite a failure. There was nothing he did that was especially meaningful.
After feeding the pigeons, Rose stood up. Perhaps because he had been squatting for a long time, her legs were a little numb.
After—standing up, Rose did not take a step forward.
She maintained a strange posture. The corners of her mouth twitched. It was hard to explain.
Edward stood up after her. Seeing that she did not move, he looked down at her ripped jeans and guessed that her legs were numb. She had been squatting for more than half an hour. “Numb legs?” “Yes, a little. Maybe it’s because I've been squatting for too long It's not a big deal, I'll take a break. At this moment, whenever Rose’s leg moved, it was like many little bugs moving inside her leg. It was so munb that it felt like it had been amputated. It was very uncomfortable.
Without another word, Edward bent down and picked Rose up. He carried her to the bench and sat down. He squatted in front of her again. “Let me massage you.” There's no need. It should be fine in a while.” 13 Chapter 426 After being suddenly rejected, Edward thought that Rose felt embarrassed and awkward, so he let it pass Seeing that he was stunned, Rose was afraid that he would think too much. In the end, she changed her words. “You should help me massage it. It's quite numb.
Rose was puzzled. Why did she feel guilty for rejecting Edward? The Depressed Prince should not be taken lightly. When he was depressed, she could not bear it. She, Rose, could be considered to be under his spell.
Edward gently lifted Rose’s leg and placed it on his knee, massaging it through her pants.
“Has anyone ever told you that you're a very warm man?” Rose looked at Edward, who was gently massaging her, and asked.
Edward said with certainty, “No.” “Then what did others say about you? Like a nickname.” Rose, who liked to give others nicknames, was very curious about what kind of nickname Edward had. No one said that such a gentleman was warm.
Did no one say it, or did no one say it in front of him? It might be the latter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEdward thought about it as he massaged. He had never interacted much with girls. In the past, he often received love letters on his desk, but no girls gave him nicknames. Kyle often called him this though: Depressed Prince, “Depressed Prince. Aman came up with it.” He sort of gave an explanation.
Who was so brilliant to think the same thing as her? Rose continued to look at the man who was massaging seriously. He was really quite handsome. “The person who gave you this name should be someone who often spends time with you. It's very appropriate.
Edward said slowly, “My assistant. He’s been with me for a long time. We're friends in private. I'll bring you to meet him next time He indeed knew him better than she did. No wonder the nickname was so appropriate. “Alright, I'm not numb anymore. Let's go to the next stop.” Rose retracted her leg. Edward stood up and sat beside her. He turned his head and asked, “Where do you want to go? The pottery studio or the teahouse?” Edward took the map guide and pointed at the recommendation guide.
Since they were here, they had to do something meaningful. “Let's go to the pottery studio.” After deciding on where to go, the two of them took a taxi to a famous pottery studio in Artroyland.
It was very affordable and only cost 30 dollars per person, including sculpting, coloring, and baking.
The teacher saw the two of them walking hand in hand. They were dressed very appropriately. One look and one could tell that they were children from rich families. They had to receive different people every day. After seeing too many of them, one could distinguish the temperament of those who were really rich and fake rich.
As long as you think about it, look at it carefully, and look at the details.
The teacher asked, “What do the two of you want to do? There's a picture book here. You can choose As she spoke, the waiter brought the album over. The two of them leaned their heads together to look at it. Because Rose’s hair was shoulder length, it always fell. When Edward saw this, he immediately tucked her hair behind her ear and pursed his lips without saying anything.
Array of sunlight shone in, and the faint light shone on the two of them, making them look especially compatible.
She stared at the album and thought about it again and again. She took a fancy to a relatively good-looking and simple one that was suitable for Edward. “Edward. Why don’t we make this dual-color cup? What do you think?” Edward's original gaze was on Rose's face. Hearing this, he retracted his gaze and looked down at the album. One was a white cup with a coffee—colored hand, and the other was a green cup with a light green hand. It was very simple and clean. ‘Sure.” “Miss, we'll do this then. Sorry to trouble you.” Rose politely handed the album over.
The teacher was also especially polite. Alright, let me clarify in advance. This cup takes a long time to fire. It's not something you can bring away immediately after it's done today. It takes about 25 to 30 days. Can the two of you accept this?” Edward glanced at Rose and nodded. “Sure.” Then, the teacher personally led the two of them to a corner. The two of them looked more cultured. The observant teacher specially arranged for them to sit in a corner and helped arrange the clay. She personally taught them at the side.
Rose took the two aprons and hooked her finger at Edward with one hand. Edward bent down and Rose helped him put on the apron. She looked at his chest and wrapped her arms around his waist as she tied the rope behind.
Chapter 426 This was the first time Rose hugged Edward like this. However, at this moment, Rose only wanted to play with clay. She didn’t have any other thoughts. She just wanted to help tie the apron However, Edward was different. His gaze was always on Rose from time to time. Today, Rose was especially good-looking. The attentive gentleman also helped Rose with the apron, but her back was facing him and she was leaning against his chest.
The two of them were extremely intimate One seat for each person. The plate was spinning. Rose maintained her smile the entire time. When the clay touched her hands, she was especially happy. The smile on her lips widened. Her white teeth felt reflective. She was playing happily like a child who had not grown up.
Edward sat at the side. He was infected and his smile widened. He wanted to live like this forever.
A few hours later, the two of them washed their hands and wrote down Edward's contact information at the front desk. It was going to be sent to the Landor Group.
In the Turner Manor, Ava felt so safe being carried by Frank that she fell asleep immediately. Helpless, Frank could only lie on the bed with her.
When it was almost noon, the little girl slowly woke up.
Feeling the movement in his arms, Frank said in a low voice, “You're awake.” They had to find something to do at home. She needed to exercise at night, so she was a little lazy during the day and did not want to go out. “Yes, I'm a little hungry. Frank, what are we going to do in the afternoon?” Actually, it was fine even if they did not go out. As long as Frank was by her side, Ava was very satisfied.
Frank said calmly, “Anything is fine. What do you want to do?” The lutle girl seemed to be thinking. Her eyes kept moving and she even frowned, looking like it was very difficult. Frank lay at the side and did not disturb her. She did not speak either. A few minutes later, Ava excitedly picked up Frank's hand and Taised it in the air. “I'll teach you how to play the piano and draw in the afternoon.” After saying that, she even gestured in the air as if she was drawing and playing the piano. It was as if there was really a piano in front of her The children of the Roberts family did not have much artistic talent. They all developed naturally. Whether it was Grace or William, they did not purposely ask them to learn music, chess, calligraphy, and painting like other children. As long as they wanted to learn, they would learn. If they did not want to learn, they would never force them.
Rose knew how to dance, but she didn’t know how to play the piano or draw. If she did have a talent, it would be buying all sorts of weird things.
Frank chuckled and pinched her exquisite and flawless face. “Up to you. Get up and eat first.” “Alright, let me think about where to start teaching you.” The little girl was still thinking when Frank got up and opened the door of the cloakroom. He leaned against the door frame.
“Which one do you want to wear?” She will be at home all day. She did not need to put on makeup or dress up too much. It was better to be more casual. “The sports shorts set. The off-white colored one. The third set.” Following Ava’s guidance, Frank found the clothes, took them off the cabinet, and handed them to the little girl.
No matter how they communicated at night, the young lady would still be shy during the day. She was too embarrassed to take off her clothes openly in front of him. Frank understood. He tactfully left the room and carefully closed the door.
Send Gift Rose subconsciously hugged Edward's neck in case not fall. In front of everyone, she was carried into the villa by Edward.
Behind them, there was an uninterrupted commotion.
When he arrived at the front desk, Edward had no intention of putting her down at all. He only used Arillion to say to the security guard beside him, “Please help me send my luggage up. Thank you.” Throughout the entire process, Rose was carried upstairs by Edward. She pursed her lips and did not say anything. She did not know what Edward wanted to do. The security guard followed closely behind and helped him bring his suitcase up. Then they immediately went down.
Rose really could not guess Edward's thoughts. If she did not ask, she would feel uncomfortable. “Edward, what do you mean by this? Didn't you go to get a room?“, Just now, she had asked him to stay and he insisted on going out, as if she wanted to eat him up. Now, he was like a child who had run away from home and came back on his own.
Edward hugged Rose and could not bear to put her down. When he lowered his head, the distance between the two of them was less than an inch. At such a close distance, Edward’s Imdsome face appeared in front of Rose’s eyes. Rose's heart raced as if missed half a beat.
“Rose, open the door first. Edward pursed his lips. There was a deep and apologetic look in his eyes as he lowered his head and said to the Rose in his arms who was staring at him in a daze.
The warm breath hit Rose's face like hypnosis. She leaned out and swiped the room card to open the door.
The door opened.
Edward pushed it open with his foot and kicked the suitcase into the room. The suitcase instantly slid forward into the room and then he closed the door with his fool.
It was 12:30 in the morning, and night had fallen. The lights in the room were not switched on, but the balcony door was open, and moonlight shone in, illuminating the entire room.
Edward gently put Rose down. She tenned against the door and looked up at him in confusion. He held her waist with one hand and placed the other on the top of her head. He apologized sincerely, “Rose, I'm so sorry. | didn’t think that much” The suppressed emotions were broken by Edward's apology. It turned out that adhering to the principle of confessing required tears. She puffed up her cheeks to suppress her emotions and felt a slight pain in her heart. “Perhaps | was too naive. | thought...” Atear fell. Edward didn’t want her to say the following words. He leaned forward and covered Rose's lips. The kiss was very gentle. Rose couldn't tell what the current situation was or what it meant.
A moment later, Edward withdrew his body and gently caressed Rose's face. “I'm so sorry. Rose, | left the room not because! had someone else in my heart. My only thought at that time was to be afraid that you would be gossiped. There was absolutely nothing else. | swear.” Edward raised his finger and swore in the air, afraid that Rose would not believe him.
Seeing how anxious Edward was, she believed him. She sniffed and asked, “Then why are you back?” He helped Rose wipe her tears and bent down to look at her at eye level. “I thought of a good solution and came back. If you're being gossiped, wouldn't it be better for me to marry you?” This answer was unexpected and Rose was touched. Rose was very happy, but she deliberately said, “Dream on. You want to marry me after staying for one night. What are you thinking?” Seeing that Rose was no longer angry, Edward smiled. “Can you take me in again? My dear Rose.” The luggage had already been pushed in, so there was no need to ask.
“Alright, since you're so sincere, I'm not someone who likes to hold grudges. I'll take you in for the time being. Perform well.
Rose said generously. She smiled and patted Edward's shoulder like an elder sister.
Edward did not kiss her again. He only hugged her tightly and said solemnly, “Rose, didn’t you say that we have to be as honest as your parents in the future?” Rose nodded a few times in his arms.
When she nodded, he continued, “You didn’t confess today and suppressed your truest thoughts. | hope you won't hide your thoughts from me in the future, including your grievances. Otherwise, our misunderstandings will become worse and worse, and we will become increasingly distant. Is that okay?” Who could resist the love of such a handsome and warm man? She, Rose, was too keen on this good-looking and refined man.
She only had one thought now. She raised her head and said to Edward, who was at eye level with her, “| only have one Chapter 425 thought now. Kiss you Edward was speechless.
When she was being wronged just now, she wasn't direct at all and hid all her emotions. Now, she was direct and said whatever she wanted. He really couldn't keep up with her thought.
In the end, Edward compromised and kissed her. The meaning of apology spread between their lips as they gave each other the answer they wanted.
Half an hour later, Rose and Edward were done showering in their respective rooms.
Before he went to bed, Edward knocked on Rose’s door. It was only when Rose's voice came from inside that he unlocked the door and pushed it open.
He stood at the door and saw that Rose was still awake. She was playing with her phone on the bed. He wanted to remind her to sleep early.
“Want to chat for six dollars?” Rose spoke first with a smile on her face. The interlude just now had brought their relationship closer.
Edward didn’t understand what she was saying, but he could roughly guess what she meant. It may be Rose asking him if he wanted to chat for a while. But as for the six dollars, he couldn't understand. “Do you want to chat?” he asked.
He raised his hand and glanced at his watch. It was already early in the morning and very late. However, looking at Rose’s sober expression, it was obvious that she wanted to chat. He compromised and walked in. He did not close the door and just left it open Edward's little detail seemed a little cute to Rose, who was always thinking for her. In fact, Rose felt that this action was a little revealing. Once the door was closed, who knew what the people inside were doing? Rose adjusted her blanket and moved to the side to make some space for Edward. Edward was stunned for a moment before he sat on the edge of the bed. Like her, he leaned against the back of the bed with his hands on his legs and his feet on the ground. Only his butt occupied the bed.
He looked sideways and asked Rose, What does six dollars mean?” “One dollar for 10 minutes. If | want to chat for an hour, it's six dollars.” Rose explained with a smile.
Edward continued to ask like a good student, but his eyes narrowed under his glasses. He was very confused. “Why is it one dollar per 10 minutes?” “I made it. Rose raised her chin proudly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEdward was speechless.
Edward thought about the fixed price of Rose and calculated it in his heart. He crossed his hands on his lap and changed his actions. “Then we can only talk for three dollars. It's already early in the morning and we still have to play tomorrow. You won't be able to take it.” “Fine, can | ask you a question?” At this moment, Rose was wearing pajamas, which was very conservative. Her legs were crossed, and her elbows were propped on her legs. She held one cheek and looked at Edward.
Edward looked sideways at Rose beside him. “Yes, ask.” “What's the degree of your lenses? Is it because you're short-sighted from watching television or because you're studying too hard and have the wrong posture?” She was also very serious about watching television s and playing with her phone. But her eyes were still quite good.
When Rose wanted to ask a question, Edward quickly thought of what she would ask in his heart, such as feelings, family, and the future. However, he did not think of this question. He smiled as he answered truthfully, “300 degrees. | don’t know how I'm short-sighted. | wasn’t short-sighted when | was studying “That means that it’s very tough for you to manage the company. My parents occasionally wear glasses when they read documents.” Most of the time, Edward listened and Rose said. Edward was more curious about Rose. She said a lot about the matters when she was in Sapphire City alone. As she spoke, she yawned. It was not even half an hour yet. It might be the time to sleep.
Looking at the yawning Rose who wanted to chat more, Edward suggested, “Go to sleep. We'll talk for six dollars tomorrow” Rose’s mind was on the verge of dozing off, but the naughty thoughts in her mind were growing. She propped up her eyelids with both hands and widened her eyes. “Alright, let's have a goodnight kiss,” she said.
Chapter 425 Upon hearing this, Edward did not move. He sat on the edge of the bed obediently Rose could not hear to see Edward's actions and wanted to tease him After waiting for a few minutes, Edward still did not move. The two of them looked at each other. Ruse felt that if she contimied to look like this, she would become cross—eyed.
She moved her butt and half-knelt in front of Edward. With a smile on her lips, she Kooked her hands around Edward's neck.
Her nails accidentally touched the skin on his neck, and her face kept getting closer.
Edward's back was stiff. He didn’t know where to place his hands. He held his breath, looking like he wanted to calm down. At this moment. This scene is like a female hooligan teasing a gentleman.
Seeing that he was so calm, Rose was not anxious at all. She smiled and sat on his lap. Her lips slowly moved closer to his ear, and her charming voice penetrated his car. “Do you want to kiss me goodbye?” Edward clenched his fists tightly. He was a man, who had an eagerness for her. In the next second, he grabbed Rose’s neck. His lips fell as expected. The kiss was lingering and their breathing was chaotic. Their hearts were beating like drums.
Abnormal, Rose's checks were red, and Edward's eyes were scarlet The kiss continued. Rose did not plan to stop so quickly. The time was not right.
It wasn't until Edward's breathing became chaotic and his hands were touching Rose’s back that Rose went from his embrace.
Her hands were still wrapped around Edward's neck as she smiled evilly “Dear, the goodnight kiss is over.” Facing Rose’s smug smile, what else did Edward not understand? The young lady in front of him was deliberately provoking him, and he almost lost control.
Rose got off his lap and hid under the blanket. She chased him away impolitely. “Help me close the door, please,” she said.
Edward pinched the space between his eyebrows to case his emotions. He sighed, stood up, and walked out the door.
Rose was very satisfied with Edward's performance. She liked his uneasiness.
“I specialize in dealing with your calmness,” she thought.
Rose, who had crawled into bed, had already closed her eyes and was motionless. Edward was still standing at the door, thinking that she had already fallen asleep. He thought to himself that her sleep quality was really good. She could sleep wherever and whenever she wanted.
He stopped at the door for a while and closed it with a smile. He might not be able to sleep tonight.
The next morning.
In the Turner Manor.
Emma and Daniel did not have the habit of sleeping in. They had breakfast in the dining room early in the morning. The crisp sound of the spoon stirring the edge of the bowl reached the stairs.
Frank was wearing a casual T-shirt and jeans as he walked towards the dining room. He politely greeted the couple who had their backs facing him and said, “Good morning.” The couple turned around at the same time. Emma nodded slightly and called out, “Come and eat breakfast” Daniel retracted his gaze and instructed the servants to add more bowls and forks. Then, he said to Frank, “If you are not used to it, let the servants make something else for you.” “Daniel, 'm more casual when it comes to eating. I'm not picky. I'm fine with anything.” “Why don’t you sleep a little longer? Are you not used to sleeping?” Daniel asked with concern.
While they were talking, the servants had already served breakfast. There were milk, sandwiches, fruit, cake, and cookies. “No, | slept well last night. It's just that | woke up and got up.” Emma finished swift grain and said to Frank, who was always reserved, “Eat whatever you want. You don’t have to finish it. In the future, you won't have to get up as early as us. You can get up whenever you want.” Indeed, the reason why Frank got up early was indeed because it was his first time living in the Turner family and he had no choice but to force himself to get up early. He also wanted to accompany Ava to sleep for a while more, but he was afraid that he would be rude.
He was very grateful and smiled. “Okay, thanks.” Emma thought that Frank had a sense of propriety, she was very reassuring and was also very satisfied.
After breakfast, Emma went to the greenhouse in the manor. Daniel went to the company. Before he left, he told Frank that he could visit the Turner Corporation when he had time.
Of course, Frank agreed.
