Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon) novel Chapter 556

Chapter 556

Edward walked into the room under everyone’s gaze. When he saw his wife doing the strange dance, he was slightly dumbfounded. He quickly picked up the phone and turned off the music that had been playing on a loop.

The music ended abruptly.

The moment Rose turned around, she only had one thought. She wished she was on another planet right then.

“Fuck! Is there anyone more fucking embarrassed than me right now?” she thought as she shuddered.

She braced herself and smiled awkwardly. “Mom. Everyone… Hello….. I… I… I’m just playing some music to help nurture children from a young age. Yes. It’s to help the baby.” She laughed awkwardly.

She didn’t even believe what she said.

She felt so awkward that her face was incredibly red now. If one touched her face, they might think she was having a fever.

Her eyes met Edward’s. It was as though she was speaking to him. “Why didn’t you call out to me?”

Edward replied with a look, “I just came up too. I didn’t see because they were in the way.”

Rose stared at him. “I feel so awkward,” her eyes seemed to say.

“Let’s go in and see the child,” Grace said to ease the awkward atmosphere.

With that said, everyone entered the room at the same time and headed in the direction of the cradle. Edward helped Rose adjust the blanket and let her lie back down. “Rose, come here.”

Then, he turned around and went to the bathroom. He took a wet towel and wiped Rose’s face. “Is there anywhere else that’s sticky?”

Rose pulled the blanket up high. She still had not recovered from the social suicide she had experienced just now. The dark history could not be erased from everyone’s mind. She shook her head.

Joy left not long after. During that time, she kept praising Rose’s baby for having good genes. Before she left, she even gave them a card. Juana was too embarrassed to accept it, but Joy insisted that they had to accept it.

She secretly said that William and Charlie were extremely competitive and they could not be stingy.

After Juana understood the situation, she grinned and asked Rose to accept it. Rose took the card. Everyone had been so generous that she felt overwhelmed. She thanked her politely.

After everyone left, only Edward and Rose were left in the room.

Grace was urged by Rose to return to her room to rest. Rose’s phone was forcibly confiscated by Edward because Rose often secretly sent messages to chat with Natalie and the others.

Rose began to act cute. She smiled at Edward, who was helping the child tidy up the blanket. However, there was something she wanted out of this. “Hubby, can I chat for a while?”

Edward thought that Rose wanted to chat with him and quickly agreed. “Sure. What do you want to talk about?”

“Can I look at my phone for 15 minutes? I’ll return it to you when the time is up, okay?” Rose took on her drama queen persona and started acting cute before him.

Edward thought, “So I am thinking too much and have mistakenly thought that she wanted to chat with me.”

Even though he knew that Rose’s pitiful appearance was an act, Edward still couldn’t resist and agreed. “Alright. 15 minutes. You can’t try to drag on when the time is up. You can’t go back on your word.”

“Okay. Am I that kind of person? I’m very trustworthy.” When she said this, Rose felt guilty. After all, she had never been trustworthy. It was like this when she watched television dramas during her pregnancy, and it was also like this when she secretly played with her phone.

She had no credibility to speak of.

Edward took a pillow and placed it behind Rose’s back. It was a

hamburger pillow and it was a gift from Emma. “You can’t lie down while you are on your phone. Sit up while you’re using it for a while.” With that, he handed the phone that was hidden in the drawer to Rose.

Rose handed Joy’s card to Edward. “Here. You can hide this too.”

“I’ll put it in the safe. I also put the card that Trevon gave there.”

“Alright. Besides, I don’t need it now anyway.” Rose turned on her phone and began to share her happy mood and the matter of her social suicide. She glanced at Edward and opened up a group chat. [Everyone, let me

tell you about something I had done that made me so embarrassed that I wish I could transmigrate. This is first on the list of things I’ve done that made me wish I could turn back time.]

Sherri instantly leaped at it. She could tell something was up. [You ran naked? Did you forget to put on your clothes when you go downstairs?] Natalie texted, [Is there nothing useful in that brain of yours?]

Sherri typed, [She’s already so embarrassed that she wants to transmigrate. What do you think it is if it’s not running naked? I’m already thinking about positive things, really. She can’t possibly pee while standing, right?]

Rose said, [How did you know that my childhood wish was to pee while standing?]

She had only told Edward about this. “Could it be that Edward had shared it with Sherri?” she wondered.

That shouldn’t be the case. Edward was very tight-lipped.

Everyone in the group was momentarily stunned into silence. Natalie was the first to break it. [Your wish is really different. Very impressive.]

She also included a big thumb pointing at Rose.

In the end, Rose was afraid that Edward would come to collect her phone. She urged him, “Go take a shower first. When you come out, I’ll give you my phone. I promise I won’t stall for time. I mean what I say.”
