Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 487

The next morning.

As the Roberts family’s son-in-law and his first night at the Roberts family villa, Edward, who knew his manners,

woke up early. Rose had to get out of bed as well though she usually liked to sleep in.

The two couples sat in the dining room of the Roberts family at the same time and slowly started their breakfast.

Edward looked out by glancing and could not help but sigh in his heart. He could finally sit inside the house and eat

breakfast without being sneaky about it.

At the dining table, Grace was very polite. She conveniently placed some breakfast that she thought was delicious

in front of Edward’s. “Take whatever you like.”

Rose was smart. She was afraid that William would be jealous, so she poured William coffee and grabbed him a

hotdog. She kept saying, “William, eat more.”

William nodded in satisfaction. “Okay.” Then, he acted like an elder and said to Edward, “Enjoy. It should taste better

than the ones that Rose took out for you.”

At least it was warm on the dining table.

Edward nodded with gratitude and automatically ignored the last sentence that William said. Grace glared at

William, who immediately shrugged his shoulders and shut up.

The only thing missing from the dining table was Frank.

After breakfast, the four of them parted ways at the Roberts family’s door. Edward politely said to Grace before

they got into the car, “Dad, Mom, I’ll bring Rose home tonight.”

He wanted to say that he probably wasn’t going back to stay with the Roberts family. When he met William’s gaze,

he swallowed his words.

Grace understood and replied calmly, “Sure. Be careful on your way.” She pulled William into the car though he still

wanted to say something.

After getting into the car, Edward started the car and said to Rose, “Do you want to give your colleagues wedding

candy? If you want, I’ll buy some at noon and send it to the hospital for you.”

She had already told her boss that she was married and even asked him to approve her request for vacation due to

marriage. If she ran into him, it would be awkward if the boss asked her for wedding candy and she didn’t have any

for him. After thinking about it, she believed she needed to bring some for a ceremonial feeling. A married

woman’s status was not bad and could block any unwanted attention. She rolled her eyes and said, “Alright, then

buy some. Thank you so much. Love you.” Edward was very happy to do it for her. “Okay, okay. I’ll buy it and send it

to the hospital for you. Do you want me to show up?”

Rose said awkwardly, “Hubby, can you please not show up at my work for a while longer?” She really wanted to

keep a low profile. As she spoke, she pouted and looked like a drama queen.

Edward nodded helplessly. Since Miss Roberts requested him to be invisible, he would be invisible. Even if he did not

appear, he would still be Rose’s husband. This identity would not change.

“Okay, then I’ll send the things to the hospital at noon. Are you coming to get them or is Tom coming to get them?”

Rose stretched and pushed her legs forward. “I’ll let Tom come get it. Thank you so much.”

The car arrived at the hospital very quickly. Rose put on a big smile and walked into the outpatient building. The

nurses at the side and the people at the reception desk greeted her.

“Good morning, Dr. Roberts. Dr. Roberts, come here.”

It was still early. Rose walked to the reception desk and leaned against it. “What’s wrong? Any big news?”

the nurse thought, “Aren’t you the big news?”

A few people leaned close to Rose and whispered, “I heard that you took so many days off to get married. Is that

true?”

It was indeed so. Fortunately, her husband was thoughtful. Otherwise, she would have forgotten about the wedding

candy. While smiling and leaning against the reception desk, Rose tapped her finger on the counter and admitted

publicly, “That’s right. Didn’t I apply for marriage leave a few days ago?”

After receiving an affirmative answer, the nurse asked in confusion, mainly because it was too sudden. “Dr. Roberts,

didn’t you go on a trip a few days ago?”

How did she get married?

Rose smiled. She did not intend to tell everyone what had happened. She simply wanted everyone to know about

her happy feelings. She said in a relaxed tone, “I picked up a husband while traveling, isn’t that funny?”

Seeing the blissful smile on Rose’s face, the nurse did not want to find out whether what she said was true. She only

partly believed it. After all, Rose’s marriage was real. So the nurse sincerely congratulated her. “Congratulations, Dr.

Roberts.”

“Thank you. I’ll give you some wedding candy during lunch. I’m leaving for work. Bye.”

When they were usually free, the receptionists would often chat with Rose and the other two. Looking at Rose’s

back, they truly sent her their blessings.

At the same time, there was also an element of envy, because, in everyone’s impression, Rose was always carefree

and relaxed.

At noon, Edward handed two boxes of candy boxes to Tom. When Tom took them, he was still dumbfounded. Not

many people knew that Rose and Edward had registered their marriage. “Mr. Landor, is this for Miss Roberts?”

Edward placed the box in the trunk of Tom’s car. He clapped his hands and instructed, “Yes, send these things to

Rose.”

Tom was still puzzled. This was wedding candy. Wasn’t Miss Roberts and Mr. Landor not married yet?

Seeing Tom’s puzzled and confused expression, Edward explained to him, “I’ve already registered my marriage with

Miss Roberts. You can keep your share of this. Thank you for everything.”

With that, Edward left Tom, who didn’t know how to react. He got into the car, started the engine, and drove away.

He did not have much time to waste. He still had to decorate the new house with Rose tonight. Now, it was time to

buy the materials Rose wanted.

Tom stood alone in the parking lot for a while before coming back to his senses. He looked at the two boxes of

candy in the trunk and finally realized what was going on. He quickly took a box of wedding candy and placed it in

the front passenger seat. He was overjoyed. He was the first person to have Miss Roberts’ wedding candy and the

first person to hear the news.

He eagerly sent all the sweets that Edward gave him to Rose’s consultation room. Rose gave a few boxes to the

people she was familiar with in different departments. Some of them came to ask for them themselves.

When she went to work in the afternoon, she met some children who often came to visit. Róse also gave them

wedding candy. The children’s innocent smiles and gratitude made Rose feel even happier.

She quickly finished handing out the wedding candy that Edward had bought. Of course, Rose did not plan to buy

more of it. She just wanted to have a sense of doing this thing. She did not plan to offer it to everyone in the

hospital.

Although she had the ability to do so, she did not want to.

After work, Edward came to pick her up on time. Ever since Edward started dating Rose, Tom had basically lost his

role and would occasionally show up.

The car drove towards the Landor family. On the way, Rose, who was sitting in the car, suddenly thought, “Wait, we

need to do something else. I think I forgot to buy a gift for going to your house for the first time.”

Edward said, “There’s no need. Mom said that you don’t have to buy anything. Your presence is the best gift.”

It was supposed to be a touching sentence, but Rose laughed out loud after hearing it. She reached out and

grabbed Edward’s cheek. She understood this sentence from a completely different perspective. She looked

sympathetic. “Hubby,. how difficult was it for you to get married? Mom has lowered her condition to an extremely

low point.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Edward smiled. Indeed, his mother’s actions showed that no one wanted him.

“So, thank you for taking me in.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll treat you well,” Rose laughed wantonly and happily.

The door of the villa of the Landor family was not closed. It was open as if Edward and Rose did not know how to

open the door.

Edward held Rose’s hand and entered the door. As soon as she stepped in, she was knocked back by a sudden

force. Edward held Rose’s waist with his big palm to steady herself.

He scolded his impolite sister. “What are you doing? Why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be taking a rest at

home for giving birth?

Sherri grinned and slapped his brother’s hand away. She dragged Rose inside the house. “Today is the first day of

Rose’s stay in the Landor family as my sister-in-law. As the Landor family’s… beloved daughter, how can I not come

home for it? I’ve decided to stay at home for the rest of my break. Sister-in-law, do you have any objections?”

How could Rose reject this? She definitely agreed. She had just arrived and this was her first time staying with the

Landor family. With Sherri around, she would definitely be much happier. She was obviously fine with it.

Hackett sat on the sofa and was eating peanuts. Beside him, Ruby was working hard to peel peanuts for him. After

peeling it, she placed it on a plate for Hackett to eat. Hackett treasured it so much that he fed them to his daughter

eventually.

“Rose,” Ruby called out sweetly the moment she saw Rose.

Rose was so happy to hear that. She held Sherri’s wrist and walked over. “Come, let me give you a hug.”

Ruby obediently sat on Rose’s lap. Hackett said, “If you like kids, you make one yourself.”

As Hackett spoke, he shook the small cradle occasionally. In the cradle, Jasper was sleeping soundly.

Rose’s eyes looked at the little handsome guy who was lying in the cradle. He looked very chubby and cute.

As they were talking, Juana came downstairs. In order to welcome her daughter-in-law, she specifically went

upstairs to change her clothes. Sherri couldn’t stop her even though she tried to.

When Rose saw Juana, she hurriedly called out, “Mom.”

The corners of Juana’s mouth curled up to the sky as she replied loudly, “Yes. Sherri, stop minding yourself and take

care of your sister-in-law.”

“Mother, Rose is going to be a part of our family from now on. Rose, take whatever you like. Otherwise, my mother

will definitely think that I won’t let

you eat.”

“This child, you don’t even know what you’re talking about. You’re always talking nonsense.” It was rare for Juana to

reprimand Sherri in the gentlest tone. Sherri was not used to it and shuddered.

Was her mother possessed by something? She thought she was too used to her mother’s cold tone that she could

take this right now.

She secretly leaned close to Rose’s ear and said, “Rose, I think you’re the only one in the family who can deal with

my mother. Let me tell you, before you came, my mother wasn’t wearing this dress. She was afraid that you would

say that she didn’t look good, so she went to change into another one.”

“I see…”

Looking at Rose’s surprised expression, Sherri grabbed an apple and started munching on it. She shook her legs

and said, “It’s true. This is the first time I’ve seen my mother being so weak. When she argued with me, she was

always so mighty, like a level 10 typhoon.”

Hackett turned a deaf ear to his wife complaining about his mother-in-law. He could not participate in such a

discussion. He ate with his daughter and invited Edward to join them. “Sit down. You are not going to lose your wife.

You don’t have to start at her like this.”

Edward glanced at Hackett, who was sitting calmly. This guy’s social status in this family seemed to have increased

recently. “Rose, I’ll go upstairs.”

The underlying meaning of his words was to ask whether Rose wanted to go up or not. However, Sherri was so

engrossed in chatting that she did not notice the look her brother gave Rose. She was still talking about her own

matters. Rose could only give Edward a look to indicate he should go up by himself first while looking helpless.

After Edward left, Rose touched Ruby’s braid while saying, “Sherri, have you gained weight?”

She looked at the waist, the face, and the bottom of Sherri. In the beginning, she didn’t notice it because Sherri was

wearing a dress, but now that she was sitting together with her, she definitely felt it.

“Sigh. I absorbed everything I ate. I really want to cry now that we are talking about this. I got on the scale

yesterday I have gained 12 pounds. I really cannot control my weight gain.”

Rose reached out and pinched Sherri’s waist. Then, she pinched her own waist. “You seem to have to control your

appetite. Otherwise, this will get out of control. When you go to work, you won’t even be able to enter the operating

room with a facial scan.

At the moment, Sherri could still pass the facial scan. However, if things continued this way, it might be difficult for

her to do so.

Sherri said, “Actually, I don’t want to eat so much either. My mother-in-law has been too good to me. She makes

different kinds of soup for me every day. Although the soups were also meant to increase the production of my

milk, I couldn’t bear to waste them after my mother-in-law stewed them for so long. It’s mainly because they’re too

delicious.”

Hackett said, “It’s okay, honey. No matter how fat you are, you’re still my wife. Love you.”

Rose suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body after seeing Hackett’s confession of love.
