Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 472
Edward took off his shoes and climbed into bed. A pillow separated him from Rose.
Rose never knew what a prude he was, seeing the vacant space between them.
Actually, Rose had no intentions of doing anything out of the line that night, nor did she want to bang him. If they were to officially
register their marriage the next day, the following night would be their wedding night. This trip was meant to be their honeymoon,
and she even contemplated extending their vacation.
Rose lay on the bed, happily making plans. Edward, on the other hand, had yet to lie down. He carefully covered her with a
blanket and turned off the light.
As soon as the lights were turned off, the room plunged into darkness. Neither of them felt sleepy. They stared at the ceiling in
the dim light and chatted. “Edward, are you asleep?”
Edward’s deep voice came from beside her. Under the blanket, Edward placed his hands on his abdomen. “No, can’t you Jeep?”

On the other hand, Edward had insomnia. In the dim light, he gazed at Rose’s peaceful sleeping face. She was very still, unlike
the restless moments before falling asleep. Her even, gentle breaths warmed Edward’s neck. It felt ticklish, like a feather lightly
brushing against his heart. Edward closed his eyes in helpless surrender once more.

He couldn’t even go to the bathroom if he wanted to, the path was blocked by Rose. She held him tightly, preventing him from
getting out of bed. He had no choice but to divert his thoughts elsewhere.
In the quiet night, held by his gentle girlfriend, Edward contemplated how to explain things to the Roberts family. To Edward, who
had always been rule–bound, Rose’s actions felt misguided. However, if Rose wanted to go through with this. he was willing to
stand by her, even if it meant taking the blame in the end.
No matter what, he was a man. When the Roberts family inquired, he would claim that it was his idea. He didn’t want Rose to
face criticism from her elders. At worst, he could handle being reprimanded by Frank.
Edward listed all the issues in his mind while held in Rose’s arms, bracing himself for the worst.
As he pondered, Rose’s leg gradually rose higher until it almost reached his shoulder. He thought, “Is this how she normally
holds her pillow? It seems like she is genuinely treating me as a pillow.”
Edward couldn’t help but chuckle. With a bit of effort, he freed one of his hands and gently repositioned Rose’s legs from his
shoulders to his waist. Since Rose mentioned she liked being held to sleep, he was willing to oblige.
He hoped he wouldn’t be kicked out of bed while he slept.
The next morning.
