Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 479

Edward tried to minimize the noise of his footsteps as he walked into the room. He sat gently on the side of the bed and leaned against the headrest. He turned on his phone and started scrolling through the day’s news.

He had no intention of waking Rose up yet. The girl on the bed was sleeping soundly, and he sat beside her and quietly accompanied her.

A bed with a lovely couple silently spending their morning on it.

One was sleeping while the other was accompanying silently.

There was no definition of satisfaction. To a hungry person, a bowl of oatmeal or a slice of bread was satisfaction. To a person who worked overtime every day, a day off was also satisfaction. There was no limit to satisfaction. It depended on what one wanted.

At this moment, Edward was satisfied with what he had.

At 10.50 p.m., Edward, who had been reading the news for almost an hour, felt his eyes were slightly sore. He took off his glasses with his slender fingers and rubbed his eyes. He closed his eyes and put them back on again. Then, he looked at the time on his phone screen.

It was almost time for lunch, but Rose was still deep asleep. There was a blissful smile on her face. To be honest, he was a little reluctant to disturb her sleep. He reached out and patiently stroked her delicate face as he called her name gently, “Rose… Rose…”

His voice was too soft and gentle that it could not wake the sleeping Rose.

Having no other choice, Edward smiled and pinched her delicate nose dotingly. Only then did Rose respond a little. Rose was displeased to be awakened in the middle of her deep sleep. She frowned and squinted her eyes. “Is it time to have lunch?”

In her half-awake state, she still knew that she had to eat. At least her mind was clear while she was asleep.

Edward was still as gentle and patient as ever. However, the following sentence made Rose jump out of bed. “Yes. Your brother wants you to get up and have lunch at the restaurant with him.”

“Who?” Her eyes, which were originally squinted, were now wide open. She looked surprised and puzzled. She was dumbstruck and snapped out of her drowsy state instantly.

Edward smiled and patted her head. He said calmly, “Your brother, Frank.”

She knew it!

Rose sat up instantly, forgetting she had been “exercising” last night, She grimaced and gasped in pain. That was really not Edward’s fault. She had been requesting it repeatedly and was addicted to it.

Edward was also exhausted. When Frank texted him early in the morning to talk, his legs trembled as he walked to the lounge with Frank.

“Are you feeling uncomfortable?” asked Edward worriedly.

Rose sighed deep down. She knew she had to limit her desires. The impact of excessive exercising” was strong. She felt like she had been forcefully asked to do a split. It made her wonder if she would look like a clown when she walked later.

Actually, Rose wasn’t the only one who thought this. Edward had also decided not to let his desire overtake his rationale like Rose in the future. He had to control his urges. Otherwise, he might exhaust himself sooner or later.

Rose reprimanded herself deep down. She had brought this upon herself. “Hey, hubby, let’s not let our desire overtake us anymore.”

Edward chuckled. “Okay. Let me
