Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 481

They went back to the hotel.

Rose dragged Ava to her new bedroom, wanting to share her happiness. Everything in the room was

decorated by Edward, and Rose was still very touched by his efforts to this day.

As long as she did not lose her memory, she would remember it for the rest of her life.

In the future, she would still be touched when she thought about it.

Seeing his sister pull Ava to her room in the hotel, Frank naturally followed closely behind. He strode in

lazily, and Edward followed behind with something in his hand.

When Frank saw the decoration in the room, he smiled again and turned to Edward, who was following

behind. “Who was the one decorating the room? You or the hotel staff?”

Edward answered truthfully, “I don’t have much time, so the style is pretty simple. I’ll prepare something

better for Rose when we get back to Athana.”

“It’s not bad,” Frank said.

These two words could be considered praise, and it was rare to hear such compliments from Frank.

Edward had no particular reaction, as he didn’t have much contact with Frank in normal circumstances

and didn’t realize the significance of these words coming from him.

This was how Frank usually spoke to Ava, so she wasn’t surprised.

The most surprising reaction came from Rose, who quickly interpreted, “Oh my god, Frank, are you

complimenting my Edward? ‘Not bad’ doesn’t even cut it. You’re practically saying his decoration is

amazing, right?”

Frank thought, “My Edward? You guys just got married recently! Stop being this dramatic,”

She only had eyes on Edward now, and Frank found it amusing.

Edward’s gaze was fixed on Rose. His lips curled into a smile, and Rose also grinned brightly. Hearing

her sharp-tongued brother praise her husband, she was rather thrilled.

Frank couldn’t be bothered to look at his sister’s silly look. The room was quite nice, and it could be

seen that Edward had put in a lot of effort, which showed that he did care about Rose.

As an elder brother, he was quite satisfied with his sister’s choice.

Ava was like a supervisor, placing her hands behind her back and observing every corner of the room.

She felt that Rose was quite happy, and it could be seen that Edward was a thoughtful person.

Rose went over and grabbed Ava’s shoulder. Her movements were too big, so Ava almost lost his

balance. Frank quickly held Ava’s arm and said to Rose, “You are already married, so it means you are

an adult. Can’t you try to be more mature?”

He turned around and said to Edward, “I’ll leave this task to you.”

Continuation of the conversation revealed that this task was even more challenging than completing a

project at the company. He didn’t have much confidence, and Rose was a free-spirited and happy-go-

lucky type.

Forcing the label of “serious and mature” on Rose might be a bit challenging, but if she decided to

perform gracefully on her own, she would do so exceptionally well.

After meeting Frank’s cold gaze, Edward said with a gentle voice, “She’s in charge of the family, and

I’m in charge of the company.”

Edward had mentioned this before, perhaps when discussing their birth mothers.

Frank said, “You guys already managed the workload. That’s pretty fast.”

Edward answered, “We’ve already reached an agreement.”

“What are they talking about?” Rose pondered.

“Aren’t we visiting their hotel room? Why are they talking about the workload?’ Ava was also confused.

In the end, Ava was persuaded by Rose to stay and help build Château de Courbonne. Ava wanted to

build her palace with Frank, so she didn’t take out the palace she had bought but instead asked Frank

to put his things back in the room before coming back to Rose’s room.

Seeing Frank leave, Edward followed.

Frank opened the door to the room next door and invited her out of politeness, “Wanna come for a

drink?”

Edward didn’t say a word but let his actions speak for his thoughts. He walked into Frank’s suite, and

upon seeing the room’s arrangement, he deduced that they had probably arrived at Haililand not this

morning but the previous night. Edward had some analytical skills, after all.

After analyzing the situation, Edward smiled and thanked him, “Thank you, Frank.”

Seeing that Edward was looking around, Frank knew why he had expressed his gratitude. “I only have

one request from you. You have to make Rose happy,” he said.

Without waiting for Edward to respond, Frank continued, “You should know that Rose has had some

traumatizing experiences in the past, which she would rather put behind. I hope you can help her move

on.”

Edward accepted the task readily. “Of course I will.”

Seeing that Edward agreed with a serious expression, Frank politely invited Edward to hang out in the

living room for a bit.

Inside Rose’s room, Ava poured half of the pieces on the table. Each piece sparkled under the

lamplight. Ava meticulously searched for and handed the puzzle pieces to Rose, who used tweezers

and tools to start building the castle.

Two heads were better than one, and they formally kick-started a harmonious duet.

Not every piece was large. Some were quite small, requiring wide-open eyes to locate and precise

alignment to assemble. If they went askew, it would be troublesome to disassemble them.

Edward and Frank were in the adjoining room discussing some topics men often talked about, along

with Frank’s instructions for Edward. On the other hand, Rose and Ava were in this room, continuously

testing their perseverance, eyesight, and dexterity…

After about an hour of piecing it together, Ava rubbed her eyes, feeling like she was seeing stars even

when she wasn’t looking at the golden pieces.

It was as if the entire room was filled with golden pieces.

Rose also rubbed his eyes, blinked, put down the pieces, and lay flat on the carpet on the floor. She

was worn out. “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have overestimated myself. Building Château de Courbonne is

not romantic at all but shooting myself in the foot.”

“Why did I decide to buy this castle blocks set? I was having a relaxing day. What is the point of

spending money on something exhausting?” she asked herself.

Were there really enthusiasts for this sort of thing with stores opened this large? It took a great deal of

patience and meticulousness to enjoy this kind of physical activity.

Ava agreed with her. This was indeed quite tiring, but she still felt a sense of accomplishment to look at

the finished product on the table. When her palace was completed, she would definitely feel a greater

sense of accomplishment. She could work on it separately, half an hour today, and half an hour

tomorrow. As long as it could be completed, there was no need to make herself stressed.

“If you buy this horse carriage for Sherri, will she be able to complete it?” Sherri and Rose were pretty

similar. If Rose persisted for an hour before giving up, then Sherri might not be able to hang in there for

this long.

Rose crossed her arms and held the back of her head. Meanwhile, Ava helped her sort out some

pieces. “Take your time. Frank spent quite a lot of money on this gift. Even if Sherri doesn’t want to

work on it, you still have Hackett, right?”

“Don’t worry. I’ll finish this one eventually. After all, it’s the wedding gift you all gave me, and I picked it

out myself. As long as I’m alive, I guarantee that Château de Courbonne will stand tall in my room,

emanating a romantic vibe as if there is a princess inside.”

When Edward and Frank entered, they overheard Rose’s whimsical remark about a princess. Frank

looked at his sister, who was lying on the floor, and teased her, “You bought Château de Courbonne,

and now you are a princess, huh? Stop dreaming! You are just a parvenu.”

Rose answered, “Excuse me? Did I say that I will be a princess? I was saying the castle would make

my room more romantic. You can ask Ava if that’s what I meant.”

“Rose, it was fun building the castle with you, but I’m a bit tired. I need to catch up on my sleep. You

guys should take a rest as well. Let’s hang out tonight. Shall we?” Seeing that Edward was back in the

room, Ava felt it was better to let the love birds. enjoy some privacy.

Frank walked to her side and reached out to pull her up from the floor. Without answering Rose’s

question, he strode out of the room with his hand on Ava’s waist.

Rose was still lying down with her legs crossed. Edward walked closer, looked at the things on the

table, and asked, “How long did you spend on the castle? Are you tired?”

“Alas, would you think I am dramatic if I tell you that I am so tired that I cannot move anymore? But……

But, yes, I am pretty drained out.”

Edward had already expected the situation. He sat down beside her, picked up one of the pieces, and

looked at it. Building the castle set was indeed pretty challenging. “If you are tired, I can finish it. We

can put it in our room when we go back to Athana.”

Rose suddenly sat up, knelt on the floor, and crawled over to Edward’s legs. Playfully, she lifted his

chin with a finger. “My dear hubby, this requires teamwork, you know. There’s a saying that goes quite

well with this situation, We can work

together for a better world with men and women of goodwill.’ I won’t allow you to secretly steal the fun.”

She was afraid that Edward would finish building Château de Courbonne by himself secretly. It was ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

such a huge project. How tiring would it be to finish it alone?

Anyway, she was going to tease him. Rose sat in Edward’s lap, her chin resting on his neck as her

hands roamed his back. “Do you want to sleep together? I mean sleep, nothing else.”

They had had too much fun last night, so she just wanted to have some sleep. “What a tiring day,” she

thought.

Edward lifted his chin slightly and held her waist with one hand. As his eyes darkened, he sat straight.

“Rose,” he stared at Rose in a naughty way and called her name.

She let go of his chin and hugged him, her chin resting on his neck, her hands wandering on his back.

“It is more for your feelings. If you just want to sleep, we’ll just sleep. But if you have other ideas, well,

we can do that too, but just once.”

He was her partner, and she wanted to try her best to make him happy. After all, they had finally

experienced the wonder of intimacy last night, so she wouldn’t mind having more time like this.

Edward raised an eyebrow. He didn’t have those kinds of thoughts running through his head all day

long. He wondered if Rose had misunderstood something about him. “Rose, I’m not thinking about that.

I’ll carry you to bed.”

Rose immediately turned around. “You don’t want to?” She sounded surprised. Was she not alluring

enough?

That shouldn’t be the case. She considered herself a pretty attractive and charming young woman.

Why was Edward so calm?

Edward noticed the surprised look on her face, and he was afraid that she would misunderstand him.

He could only explain slowly as he carried her and stood up. Meanwhile, Rose hung on him like a

koala.

Edward explained slowly as if reading her mind. “You’re very attractive, but I don’t want to hurt you. We

should have some

rest.”

With that, Rose had no more doubts. At least Edward had been pretty wild last night. She responded in

a pleasant tone, “Alright then, if you ever need it, just tell me. Don’t hold back.”

He had been holding back for 30 years, and it wasn’t healthy. For this kind of thing, she could definitely

help him. As for the company’s matters, she might not be useful even if she wanted to.

At this moment, Edward did not know what to say.

In the end, he didn’t say anything. He just carried Rose to the bed and placed her on it. “Do you want to

change into pajamas?”

Rose lay on the bed and looked at Edward. “No, but do you want me to change? I can if you want me

to. It wouldn’t take long anyway.”

Edward answered, “Just do whatever you want.” Anyway, they planned to have some rest, so it was

better if she had clothes

on her.

“Alright, let’s get some sleep. I like to cuddle with you.”

“Sure.”

With her husband cuddling, she might not need to put that many pillows on her bed anymore.
