Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

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, I seem to have forgotten to give you extra points. I 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 I buy some more?”

“There’s no need. I 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.”

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.

Edward 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. A man 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?”
