Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 389

The two of them walked side by side towards the villa.

Rose still felt somewhat skeptical. She glanced sideways at the elegant and handsome Edward standing next to her. For some reason, she found his appearance with glasses strangely comfortable and attractive.

With her hands in her pockets, she pretended to be carefree and averted her gaze. She pursed her lips and asked, “Why weren’t you sleeping? I thought you were already asleep.

Walking beside her. Edward slowed his steps. His face remained emotionless, and his eyes were hidden behind his glasses. Then, he said in a calm tone. “Just wanted to take in the night view of Artroyland.”

His tone was natural, and it was hard to discern its authenticity.

Rose paused for a moment, pondering if his words were genuine. Then why did you leave? Why not stay a while longer? They’re still dancing”

Edward replied in a subdued manner. It’s enough to experience it. There’s no need to keep watching

“Alright then, I’ll go to sleep. Goodbye and good night. As they chatted, they reached the door of Rose’s room. She waved

her hand and entered.

Once inside, the room was dimly lit, and her mind replayed the moment when Edward had his arm around her shoulder. She hadn’t noticed it earlier, but now in retrospect, it seemed a bit off. It felt almost like a scene from the sovereignty declaration of a male lead in a TV show.

While Rose was fairly satisfied with her appearance, Edward’s appearance was quite appealing too. But he wouldn’t fall for her after just a few encounters, especially considering he had feelings for Natalie. It was probably just a passing thought

Rose realized she had been watching too many romance TV series, so she decided to take a break from them. Her imagination had started to blur the lines between fiction and reality

After some contemplation, she gave up trying to figure it out. It was too mentally exhausting. Maybe Edward was only looking out for her at Sherri’s request.

Rose had a straightforward personality, but she was reserved when it came to relationships. She became cautious after having been hurt once before.

Edward didn’t leave immediately. His mind replayed Rose’s dance moves on the beach, along with her charmning smile and genuine laughter. He stood there for a while before finally leaving.

After sorting out her thoughts, Rose finished her shower and lay on her bed. She opened her phone to check the flight ticket. She had to go back to work the day after tomorrow. No matter what, she would have to leave tomorrow when she woke up.

Calculating the time, arriving at Athana at night would leave her too tired to work the next day. Besides, it was already early morning, and waking up early tomorrow was unrealistic.

Lying on her bed, she placed her phone in front of her. She propped up her chin with one hand and tapped her buttocks with the other.

She leisurely examined her flight options. 9 am was too early. She wouldn’t be able to wake up in time. Maybe an afternoon flight would be better. Since the villa was quite expensive, she might as well get some extra sleep. She could check out before noon, have a meal, and then catch the plane.

Then, she quickly purchased the flight ticket for tomorrow. The departure time was 1:30 pm. After buying it, she happily placed her phone on the bedside and prepared to sleep.
