Chapter 471

Half an hour later, Edward truly kept to the schedule.

When the time was up, he went to the bathroom to take a shower. Worried about the possibility of slipping, Rose leaned against the door with crossed arms, prepared to offer help if needed.

After showering, Edward was indeed wide awake. It was also possible that the hangover medication provided by Rose had started to work.

When he emerged, he was dressed in a standard pajama set consisting of a top and bottom. He had a white towel draped over his shoulder, which he used to dry his damp hair. There were still water droplets on his neck that he had missed while wiping, trickling down into his pajamas.

There was a subtle masculine aura in his polished demeanor. Rose found herself lost in a daydream for a moment as her mind wandered.

She cleared her throat awkwardly. “Ahem, ahem. Are you feeling better?”

Edward, now fully awake, apologized, saying. “I’m sorry, Rose. I assure you, this won’t happen again.”

Edward promised that this would be the last occurrence.

Rose chuckled at his playfulness and earnestness. He always prioritized rules. She straightened up and had the urge to lightly tap the back of his head. She gently tugged at the towel in his hand and held his hand as she guided him to the sofa. “Edward, I’ve come to realize that you’re incredibly adorable when you’re serious.”

Edward didn’t comprehend the statement, but he allowed Rose to guide him to the sofa and take a seat. Rose moved around to the back of the sofa to assist him with drying his hair, but Edward interrupted her. “I’ll handle it myself.”

Rose swatted his hand away in frustration and exclaimed, “I won’t let you feel like you’re taking advantage of me. Your hair is shorter than mine, so you should return the favor. Help me dry my hair later.”

Edward replied, “There’s no need for that. I can assist you with drying your hair even if you don’t do this for me.”

He felt quite content. Although Edward was fully awake after his shower, he still had a slight headache.

Rose playfully tousled his hair with both hands. “Silly Edward, he truly had a reason for being single. Without me, he would probably remain single for the rest of his life,” thought Rose.

Edward’s hair-was short and dried within a few minutes. Rose playfully ruffled his hair and said, “There you go, all dry. I’m going to take a shower now. You can take a break for a while.”

“Alright,” he replied. Edward sensed that something about Rose tonight was a bit unusual, but he could not figure it out. He gazed at her back and found himself lost in contemplation.

Edward didn’t take a break as he eagerly awaited Rose’s return to assist her with drying her hair. After approximately 20 minutes of waiting, Rose emerged with a white towel wrapped around her head, with bunny ears on both sides.

It was incredibly adorable. It was evident that the towel was not from the hotel; Rose had brought it with her. Edward was momentarily speechless, captivated by the sight.

Rose playfully tugged on her bunny ear towel and asked, “Don’t I look cute?” She had found it adorable when she purchased

it online.

Edward snapped back to reality and smiled. “You look great. Come here, I’ll help you dry your hair.”

“Alright, let me experience your hair-drying skills. Have you blow-dried Sherri’s hair before? As Rose spoke, she had already taken a seat on the sofa.

Rose sat on the sofa, crossing her legs and turning her back towards Edward. Edward, in response, stood up and carefully picked up the hairdryer.

“I have, but haven’t assisted her with blow-drying her hair since she was 18 years old. Sherri is quite lazy, and she has long hair. She always avoids blow-drying it,” Edward replied.
