Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 488

During dinner.

Rose was staying in the Landor family for the first time. Edward was worried that she would feel uneasy, so he was extremely

attentive to her.

With Sherri and Ruby lightening things up, the atmosphere was quite pleasant and the dining room was filled with laughter and joy. Everyone had a smile on their faces. Even Richard, who usually did not talk much, would occasionally ask Rose to

eat more.

After dinner, Juana urged his son to take Rose upstairs and warned her daughter not to be nosy, saying “Hurry up and go to your room to sleep.”

She continued to criticize her in a low voice, “You’ve been so idle all day. Go upstairs and check if the child is hungry. Hackett has already bathed Ruby, but you’re lying on the couch like a slug. Aren’t you ashamed?

“Hackett spoils you too much. Look what have you become?”

Sherri automatically developed selective hearing and continued to lean against the couch with her legs crossed. “Mom, shouldn’t you be happy that Hackett treats me well? Or would you rather him hit me?”

“Quit your backtalk and go upstairs now. Your brother and sister-in-law have already gone upstairs. What are you doing in the living room alone? Don’t you need to wake up in the middle of the night to feed the baby?”

Although Juan was telling Sherri off, she actually wanted her daughter to get some rest because sitting too long was not good for her health. She might have spoken harshly, but she meant well.

Postpartum care is critical to ensure that a woman is recovering properly from pregnancy and delivery. Some people think that taking good care of yourself during the postpartum period would be like a reboot of health. But If you don’t recuperate well, you may be afflicted with minor ailments for the rest of your life. Therefore, Juan hoped that her daughter could sleep earlier.

Upstairs.

With her hands behind her back and her eyes glancing around the room, Rose looked very much like a manager inspecting the work site. Edward walked behind her like a subordinate who was solely responsible for following and not talking.

As long as his superior did not provide any comments, he could only stay muted.

After inspecting for a while, Rose finally said, “Edward, your room really reflects your personality. You prefer simple things, but I like something interesting. Will you be okay with that?”

It was not surprising that Rose asked the question because Edward’s room was very plain and minimalistic. It had only two colors, with a grey bedsheet and white walls. There was not even a single potted plant.

Rose hoped to add a bit of greenery to brighten up the space.

Upon hearing this, Edward pushed up his glasses, wearing a sweet smile on his face. He took a few steps forward and wrapped his arm around Rose’s waist as they walked in. “I lived alone and was used to it being simple. Kyle bought the sheets in double and gave me one. But now that we’re living together, it doesn’t have to be so simple. You can decorate it however you like as long as I live with you.”

Rose’s eyes lit up. “Really?”

“Yes.”

“Great.”
