Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon) novel Chapter 485

Chapter 485

Seeing that his wife did not pursue the matter of registering for a marriage certificate, William became very suspicious for just a moment. Then he turned to look at his daughter.

Was it possible that his daughter brought it up previously to his wife so that she would not pursue this matter much? Did the boy from the Landor family take the initiative to take the blame?

That was possibly how things went. Otherwise, there was no way that his way would back down so easily.

William sighed heavily inside. He previously thought that his daughter could still stay at home for a few more years. He did not expect her to move away so soon. How did she get married after just taking a trip?

In the future, he would not be able to see his daughter every day. On the other hand, it would be a long time before his future daughter-in-law got married into his family. the Roberts family would become a bit quiet from now on.

William, who was used to having people around, felt a little disappointed and had mixed feelings.

Rose originally wanted to see her father’s reaction, however, now she felt bad after seeing William being unhappy. She took out her phone and sent a text message to her father, [Dad, although I am going to get married, I can still stay with you guys. I’ll take turns staying at both their house and ours. If you ever miss me, I’ll come home for you right away.]

A notification sound came from William’s phone, he took it out and saw that it was a message from his precious daughter. He turned to look at Rose and saw his daughter playfully raising her chin for him to check his phone. William lowered his head and read Rose’s long message. A smile finally appeared on his face. He was glad to know that his daughter was so mature that she knew what he was thinking about.

William replied to ha

text, [Fine, I understand.].

Rose sent another message

it okay for Edward and I to spend the night here?]

Though William was not willing to let Edward stay at his house, he still agreed since his daughter would spend the night at his house as well. He replied, [Sure, I’ll do whatever to make you happy.]

A son-in-law would always be his father-in-law’s natural enemy.

The discussion of wedding gifts continued while the younger generation watched on the side. Since this was a matter that should be hosted by the Landor family, Juana decided to let Richard take charge and handle this matter gracefully.

Richard went straight to the point. “Thank you for being generous and not fussing over Edward’s mistake. Another reason for us to come today is mainly to propose marriage. Although they have already received marriage certificates, we still have to make up for what we should have offered Rose. Our entire family is quite fond of Rose. My wife talks about her every day. You can rest assured that we will treat Rose the same way we treat Sherri.”

William waved his hand and continued to behave politely. “Actually, the Roberts family doesn’t really care about wedding gifts. Rose is our greatest treasure. If your son takes Rose with him, but can’t treasure her like we did, my suggestion is to stop this whole thing right now.”

The Roberts family did not care to marry Rose into the Landor family if she was not going to be treated properly. They surely could afford to let Rose stay with them. The Roberts family’s bottom line in agreeing with this marriage was that their daughter would be properly taken care of.

Sensing that his father-in-law was in a tense mood, Edward immediately said, “William, I can definitely do that.”

Grace fiddled with her sleeves. Her tone was calm, but there was also a hint of deterrence. “Remember your words.” Edward nodded. Frank casually sat at the side and played with his phone. He pursed his lips and did not say anything. Once both families reached an agreement, it would not be possible for them to break the deal.

Richard said, “A few days ago, Edward asked me to transfer all the shares under his name to Rose. Here is the document of that. Rose, please sign it. Here is a list of the other wedding gifts. The villa next to the Landor family is under your name as well. Edward put it under your name when he bought it.”

Rose was deeply touched. Why was this fool always doing this kind of thing in secret?

Grace was not pretentious. She took the document on the table and roughly skimmed it. “This is too much. Our gifts for this wedding were 30%. We only ask you to match our part. We don’t need this many gifts. Our sole requirement is for Rose to be happy.”

The gifts from the Landor family were 50%.

Juana waved her hand and said straightforwardly, “This is not too much at all. Rose deserves it. After all, Edward is the one who would be considered taking advantage of Rose by marrying her.”

William was not someone who was greedy for wealth. If he was offered cash, he might just accept it. However, their family was offered the shares of the company of the Landor family. This did not seem appropriate to him. It was as if to change the Landor Group to Roberts Group. He said, “We are simply marrying our daughter into your family. We have no plan of taking over your company. Please reconsider your hospitality.”

Grace nodded in agreement. “Let’s exchange 10%.”

Edward objected. If it was just an exchange, he felt that his family would end up not showing enough sincerity. “Mr and Mrs. Roberts, 30% of Rose’s shares will be hers no matter what. It will not be integrated into our marriage assets. Since Mrs. Roberts thinks this is too much, I will give 10% of my share to Rose. Additionally, I will draft another contract that indicates all of the assets under my name will be transferred to Rose if I ever cheated on her.”

Hackett thought, “Edward is basically saying that he will leave this marriage without anything if anything happens. Should I help him if he left their house with only a pair of underwear at that time?

“He’s being too harsh on himself.”

The sharp-tongued Frank continued to remain silent. He only curled his lips when no one was able to him. He was satisfied.

In the end, things went the way Edward wanted. It was also because Grace did not want to reject the kindness of this child. Edward said, “The drafted document will be sent over tonight.” Grace replied, “You don’t have to rush. It can happen tomorrow.” However, Edward still texted Kyle Jenkins to ask him to start preparing the document.

Edward, who was known for always abiding by the rules, did not like to procrastinate. He is straightforward and decisive. Once a decision was made, he wouldn’t be able to sleep that night until he signed off on it.

Mr. and Mrs. Roberts asked the Landor family to stay for dinner. Because it was their first time coming to the Roberts family, when they first arrived, they did not have a chance to take a proper look around the place.
