Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 404

Twenty minutes later, Rose finished her meditation, temporarily relaxing her mind. She felt light and refreshed as if she had reached a new level of awareness.

Getting ready to play a popular song to lift her spirits, she walked barefoot to the small table on the balcony with her phone in hand. The table was filled with snacks, and whenever her stock ran low, Grace would make sure to replenish it.

It was not only punctual, but the snacks she brought were also Rose’s favorites.

Opening a bag of potato chips, she grabbed three slices and popped them into her mouth, savoring the taste. As she was about to switch to a new song, a message suddenly appeared on her screen.

Her fingers acted a second faster than her brain, opening the message…

Rose read the message that Edward had sent. Her initial thought was that he had some questions for her again.

It seemed like he was taking advantage of her as a free consultant.

Chewing the chips vigorously, she grabbed a handful and stuffed them into her mouth, almost as if the chips were Edward himself, being pulverized by her teeth.

She took a tissue and wiped her hands. It was impossible to be impolite with her natural upbringing. She replied. indifferently. [How can I help you?]

Her tone wasn’t particularly friendly or unfriendly, just casual and official.

When most people received messages asking if they were available or free, they usually replied with “What’s up?” or “Is something the matter?” or simply “Yes.”

Wasn’t that an official response?

Edward had been waiting for Rose’s message and quickly responded, [I need to talk to you about something. Are you available now?]

Rose read the message carefully, wondering why Edward would want to consult her about something. They had discussed his relationship matters before, but what else could they talk about?

Rose replied, I’m not extremely busy right now, but I do have a few things going on. Go ahead and tell me.]

Edward immediately responded, I like you. I want to pursue you.]

It was like a bolt from the blue. Rose stared at those few words, her hands trembling so much that she accidentally knocked over the bag of chips onto the floor.

She had just asked him to talk, and now he was confessing his feelings. How should she reply?

At this moment, Rose was dumbfounded. It was as if she had been turned into stone by Medusa, unable to move. The music continued to play, but the once-pleasing melody now seemed a bit bothersome.

She forgot the chips in her mouth and half-opened her lips.
