Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 364

Rose and Edward walked to another quiet place and lit a candle.

As she turned around, Rose saw a familiar figure. It was someone she would never forget It was her

ex-boyfriend, Samson Miller, a scumbag

Rose glared at him and turned around in disdain. Coincidentally, Samson, in a regular t-shirt and jeans,

noticed her. He ran to her in a second

With a tawning smile, he greeted enthusiastically. “Rose, it’s you! You’re back”

Samson had heard that Rose had left the country and had not returned. And she had also lost contact

with her classmates.

Rose swept her hair back with one hand and then casually straightened her clothes. She said

indifferently. “Am I invisible, or are you blind?”

His words were craps to her.

Samson was not angry. He glanced at Edward, standing beside Rose, and continued. “I mean, we all

miss you. Since you’re back, how about we find time to grab a coffee or have dinner? 1 have a lot of

things to say to you”

Rose looked at the man in front as if he was muts. She wondered if Samson had lost his memory or

was simply stupid. Did he forget that her brother had broken his legs? Are you sure you’re not mentally

ill? Do we know each other?”

Samson could never have imagined that the good little girl had turned to be so sarcastic and

provocative, showing no respect for him at all

Edward could tell that there was a story between them. Also, he noticed that Rose did not want to talk

to this man, so Edward kindly helped her out of the situation. “Let’s go. It’s still cool now, but the sun

may come out soon, and it will be

hot

He was always so observant, so gentlemanly.

Indeed, Rose did not want to talk to Samson even for a minute. It was too disgusting. How could she

have been blind not to see such a two-timing man back then?

Soon, Samson’s mother arrived and saw her son standing with a beautiful woman. She immediately

walked to Samson and asked, “Samson, who is this young lady? Is she your friend?”

Samson replied to her shamelessly. “Mom, this is my ex-girlfriend.”

Samson’s mother looked at Rose from head to toe. Then, she seemed to think of something and said,

“Oh, it’s Miss Roberts, right? Samson has been missing you all these years.

“Are you here to pray too? Why don’t you join us? We can sit together later.”

At this moment. Rose could tell at a glance that Samson’s mother was up to something. If only she

could have seen it before.

Edward finally understood what was going on. He narrowed his eyes slightly, frowned, and felt

disgusted at Samson and his mother Edward turned to look at Rose, only to see she was still

indifferent. It seemed like she did not care about them at all.

“Are we leaving?”

Edward asked Rose.

Rose looked up at Edward and smiled. “Do you want to watch a show?”

Edward glanced at the mother and son. He did not want to watch any show but still asked for Rose’s

opinion. “How about you? Do you want?”

“Forget it. It’s not easy to purify my soul. Talking to them will stain it. Let’s go.” Rose decided she did

not want to argue with such a person, let alone look at his face.

When Rose turned around. Samson was in a hurry to grab her arm, but he was stopped by a large

palm that grabbed his wrist and pushed him back. “You will not want to mess with me here. As for what

I noticed, I don’t think your leg can carry you well.

Edward’s tone was calm, but every word was threatening and cold.

Samson suddenly felt a chill in his leg. Rose’s brother had once broken his leg. Every time he walked

for a long time, his leg would hurt a little.

Samson’s mother was a pious follower of the faith. She would come to this church to pray every

weekend. Samson loved his mother so much, so he would accompany his mother to the church every

week. Ever since the Roberts family forced them to leave downtown Athana, they had moved to the

foot of the mountain where the church was on

When Samson saw Rose, he realized she was more beautiful than before. He recalled how lovely

Rose had been and felt if he worked harder, he might have a chance to get her back.

With this thought in mind, he acted, but he did not expect that Rose was no longer the same Rose as

before. She seemned to have changed a lot.

How could someone who had died once be the same? The scumbag had no idea that Rose had

committed suicide once.

Samson firmly believed that Rose did not know he had cheated on her when they were together years

ago.

On their way down the mountain, Rose did not talk as much as earlier. She was so quiet that Edward

was not used to it. He asked her in a low voice. “So… Ex-boyfriend?”

He was not a gossipy person. It was just because of the vibe. After witnessing someone else’s

awkwardness, he had to say something

Rose sneered. She was self-deprecating about feeling embarrassed. “You must think that I’m blind and

don’t have good taste

in men?”

The two of them walked down the steps together. Without waiting for Edward to say anything, Rose

continued, “Who doesn’t have a crush on someone else in their lifetime? Besides, it’s normal to meet

scumbags, right?”

Edward sneered at himself, “Yes, that’s right. Who doesn’t have a crush?”

He had, hadn’t he?

Rose suddenly wanted to confide in him. She did not know if it was because she had met a scumbag.

She had a feeling that Edward was a suitable person to talk to. It was like they were in the same boat.

She was blind enough to have been with a scumbag, and Edward had someone he loved that he could

not be with. Rose could tell Edward had not let go of Natalic, but he knew what he should and should

not do and did not disturb Natalie.

Edward was a real gentleman. His usual gentlemanly manners helped him notice that Rose wanted to

tell him her story. “If you don’t mind, I can be a temporary listener. I promise I’ll only listen and not tell

anyone else about anything”

Rose walked down the stairs one by one. They did not know that Samson had caught up to them just

as they were leaving, but he was stopped and frightened by the bodyguards hidden around.

Samson’s mother was timid. She told her son not to pester Rose anymore. It was better not to provoke

a young lady with bodyguards following and protecting her. Thinking of her son’s legs, Samson’s

mother began to feel a lingering fear.

The scheme she had in mind was gone. Her son’s life was more important.

But Samson was not reconciled to such a result. He could not hide in this godforsaken place for the

rest of his life. Ever since he was forced to move here, the girl who had been with him had left him too,

and no one wanted to be with him anymore. He needed to make a comeback, and Rose was his

stepping stone. He believed as long as he was persistent, he would succeed. Rose seemed to be

telling someone else’s story. She walked beside Edward and said, “I met this scumbag before I was an

adult. We used to be good friends, but this scumbag was great at acting. He pretended to care about

me and be affectionate to me. I was tricked and fell into his trap. One day, the scumbag felt the time

was right and told me he loved me. Then, we were in a relationship.

“We didn’t even hold hands, nor did we kiss. But at that time, I didn’t seem to want to be intimate with

him. I didn’t even have that kind of urge. Now that I think about it, it might be because I didn’t like him,

but I just had a good impression of him during puberty.

“We had only been together for a few days when Grace found out. Oh, Grace is my mother. I must

have been out of my mind to think that my family had ruined my love life, which was built on lies. I

watched too many television dramas and committed suicide. I was a dumbass, wasn’t I leven chose the

most painful way to die. 1 slit my wrist. Now that I think about it, I must have been insane. Or say, I

might have been possessed.”

Edward frowned when he upon hearing that. Rose was still smiling when she told the story. However,

her smile was bitter and remorseful. Not for the scumbag, but she felt sorry for her youth and her

parents.

Edward had never thought such a lively and cheerful young lady, who seemed not to take things to

heart, would kill herself.

Committing suicide needed courage. Edward wondered how desperate Rose had been to want to end

her life. It shocked

him.

For some reason, he felt sad for Rose.

After the story was finished, it seemed like it would be quite a blow if he did not comfort her. “Everyone

had moments of thoughtlessness or did things they regretted. Not only minors, but adults will also do

something wrong.”

Including him. What he needed to do was to wake up in time.

Rose continued stepping downstairs and nodded in agreement. “I’m done with my story. And what you

said made sense. Can I take the liberty to ask why you’re not with Natalie?”

Seeing that Edward stopped in his tracks, Rose knew she was being presumptuous. She quickly

explained, “It’s okay. If you don’t want to talk about it, never mind. You don’t have to answer. I didn’t tell

Sherri and Natalie about this. I’m sorry I wasn’t thinking.”

Her tone was filled with apology and assurance, which showed that she would keep her mouth shut.

Edward stopped waking and met Rose’s apologetic gaze. Instead, he felt sorry for not telling her. There

was a magic in Rose’s eyes that people would not want to refuse her. After a brief silence, he opened

his mouth and said, “There’s nothing about it that I can’t tell you.”

Rose thought that he was being forced. Se continued to wave her hand. “No, you don’t have to do this.

I mean it. I’m not going to dig deeper into your secrets. It’s just the vibe. You know, I’ve talked a lot

about myself. It seems not right if I don’t ask you.”

Edward did not know what to reply

“However, if you don’t have anyone to confide in, I can also be your listener. I won’t tell anyone, Rose

continued.

Edward sighed and continued to walk down the steps. Tve been falling for Natalie for a long time.

Sometimes I can’t tell how much I like her. I’ve always wanted to protect her as she grew up. I couldn’t

bear to see her suffer or see her sad. When ! went on a business trip, I wanted to buy her what she

liked, such as gloves and helmets. She has always liked things different from others. She doesn’t fancy

bags, cosmetics, or branded goods.

“However, Natalie’s a frank and straightforward person. No one can force her to like or dislike

somebody. If she doesn’t like someone, she will not pretend she dors. I’ve seen her reject some boys in

university. It was neat and efficient. She didn’t feel embarrassed at all. And she didn’t leave any hope to

the boys. I wanted to tell her my feelings for her a few times, but I was afraid we wouldn’t be friends if I

did so.

“She’s always seen me as a big brother, and I’ve always accompanied her as one. It’s hard to imagine

if I can’t maintain such a” relationship with her after she turns me down. However, now, we can no

longer keep this relationship.*

After saying that, Edward laughed at himself in his heart. He smiled faintly, looking a little sad.

He recalled how Trevon invited him to attend the wedding ceremony. Edward thought it would be

Natalie who called him. but it turned out to be Trevon.

Trevon said, “Td like to invite you to the wedding of Natalie and me on April 18th, and maybe you can

give up on her after witnessing our love.”

It hurt. Every word Trevon said hurt. Edward knew Trevon wanted him to give up. Edward understood.

Trevon did not give Edward a chance to speak but added, “You don’t have to give us any wedding gifts.

We don’t have room for your gifts. And you’ll have to pay for the placement of the helmet you gave

Natalie,”

Edward pinched the space between his eyebrows and hung up.

How could such a possessive person allow Edward to stay around Natalie as a big brother while they

were not bound by blood?

Rose naturally saw Edward’s bitterness. She patted Edward’s shoulder like a buddy and comforted

him. “It’s not a big deal. We all have an unforgettable youth. After walking down this step, let’s bury all

the bad memories here and let gods help us

store them.”

Edward laughed. ‘Are you sure the gods can keep them for free without asking you for anything in

return?”

“Don’t worry. I have faith in them.”

Rose’s tone was relaxed.

Edward thought, “Perhaps she was right. It’s time for me to let go, Natalie is happy now. Sherri said

Natalie was pregnant again in our family group chat yesterday. Natalie was pregnam with twins. I know

Natalie too well. If she didn’t want to, no one could force her to be pregnant again so soon.

“It seems that she loves Trevon so much. That’s why she wants to have his babies again. I hope she

will be happy forever.”
