Chapter 411


    At midnight, the streets in Athana seemed much quieter. In addition, they were still in the suburbs, so


    there were no other cars except for a few cars following behind to protect Rose.


    In the quiet car, there was only the sound of quick breathing and the sound of kissing. Rose and


    Edward hugged each other and gradually became more and more proficient in kissing.


    Both of them were green in intimate contact, yet they made great progress after a moment of learning.


    A long timeter, when Rose’s face turned red and she felt it hard to breathe smoothly, Edward let go


    of her.


    Edward pressed his forehead against Rose’s and panted slightly. His voice was hoarse as he asked


    Rose with a faint smile, “Are you familiar with it? Do you want to practice more?”


    He lowered his gaze and looked at Rose’s slightly swollen red lips. They were delicate and alluring as if


    she had put on lipstick


    They could mess up Edward’s mind and tempt him to take a bite.


    Rose forced herself to nod slightly. She had still been bold a wanted to crawl under the car.


    ile ago, yet she blushed now. She was so embarrassed that she


    Edward smiled and touched her lips with his fingertips. Rose felt numb as if an electric current went


    straight from her head to her feet. Her toes curled up as she held her breath.


    “Are you going to work tomorrow?”


    Edward knew that Rose was shy and was just pretending to be bold. He did not intend to tease her,


    and he changed the topic.


    “Yes. I’m professional after all.”


    If Rose did not talk about anything else now, she would be embarrassed to the extreme. Edward was


    indeed good at chatting.. He knew well about her and found a topic to talk about.


    “I’ll send you back. Sleep immediately after you return home. Can I pick you up tomorrow?” Edward


    asked tentatively.


    He had never been in a rtionship before. At least, Hackett picked Sherri up every day, so Edward


    thought he should do


    the same.


    “Don’t. I haven’t told my brother about our rtionship yet. We have just decided to be with each other,


    and I don’t want to be in a hurry to tell the people around us about it. I’m afraid I’ll scare them. What do


    you think?”


    Hearing that, a few words appeared in Edward’s mind.


    They were “secret lovers” and “underground affairs.”


    Edward discovered that after interacting with Rose, the number of novel vocabry he knew had


    increased dramatically.


    Actually, Rose didn’t make it clear to Edward that she wanted to wait for a suitable opportunity to


    announce their rtionship. Back then, she had told Sherri that Edward was not her type. But now, she


    and him were directly together and even kissed. The kiss was more exciting andsted longer than that


    in Rose’s dream, and she decided to hide it for the time being.


    Edward did not tell Rose that Frank hade to talk to him. That day. Frank was obviously helpless.


    Edward had guessed many reasons and finally reached the conclusion that it was because of Rose.


    I have no objections. I’ll do as you say. If you don’t want to make it public, we can date secretly. Can we


    pick you up tomorrow?” Frank wasn’t at home tomorrow, so Edward could still pick Rose up.


    Rose had the same thought. At that moment, she was also thinking that since Frank and Grace were


    not going home tomorrow, it didn’t matter if Edward came and picked her up. So, she agreed readily.


    “Alright, I’ll give you a chance to prove yourself.”


    Edward sent Rose to the gate of the Roberts’ ce. Rose’s face was still flushed and looked cute. She


    looked up and said goodbye to Edward. “Bye. Send me a message when you get home,”


    “If you’re afraid of sleeping alone, call me.” Edward looked around and found that there were many


    bodyguards and maids. However, Rose’s parents were not at home, and he was still worried about


    her.


    Rose nodded and felt warm in her heart. She was d to have such a thoughtful boyfriend, who was


    concerned about her and warmed her at all times.


    A few minutes after arriving home, Edward called Rose. Worried that she would be scared, he didn’t


    hang up the phone even if it fell intoplete silence on the other side of the line.


    The next morning, Rose was woken up on time by the rm. William was not at home, and the maid


    had packed breakfast


    for her.


    Seeing Rose go downstairs, the maid quickly handed Rose the breakfast that she had prepared earlier.


    “Miss Roberts, Mr. William asked me to prepare breakfast for you.”


    “Thank you.” Rose had just hung up on Edward five minutes ago because her phone turned off out of


    battery.


    She walked to the gate.


    Rose had instructed the bodyguards yesterday, so Edward was allowed to enter, and his car stopped at


    the entrance of the vi early.


    Because she had slept tootest night, Rose was in a daze. She felt dizzy and had a headache.


    Sure enough, once a woman reached 25 years old, she could barely stand staying upte.


    Edward got out of the car and opened the car door of the passenger’s seat. As he looked at Rose’s


    sickly appearance, he knew that she had not slept enough. “Are you still sleepy?”


    As soon as he finished his words, Rose realized that time was a little tight. “Hurry up, I’m going to be


    She had forgotten that Edward was sending her to work, or she would have woken up a few minutes


    earlier.


    “Don’t worry. I’ve driven racing cars before. You won’t bete.”


    Hearing that, Rose felt much more at ease. She wondered. “Why are they all skilled at driving? So


    reliable!”


    After getting into the car. Edward ced two cups of coffee in front of Rose and asked, “Cappino


    andtte, which one do you like? It’s better to be refreshed when you go to work. This way, you won’t


    make mistakes easily. Have a good rest after lunch”


    The car started. Afraid that Rose would bete, Edward continued as he drove. “Don’t go out for lunch


    at noon. I’ll order takeout for you. After finishing eating, you can have more time to catch up on your


    sleep. Anyway, the effect of the coffee won’tst a day.”


    Rose did not refuse Edward and was peeling an egg. As she peeled it, she listened to Edward’s


    heartwarming nagging. He was so meticulous and considered everything for her.


    “I want the cappino. I’ll give you an egg in return. My father and brother usually help me at home,


    but I peel it myself today. Are you touched?”


    Rose seemed to be waiting for Edward’s praise. Her eyes were curved into crescents as she smiled.


    Edward held the steering wheel with one hand and reached out to take the egg from Rose’s hand with


    the other. He stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it, feeling a little thirsty.


    He picked up thette and took a sip of it before swallowing the yolk. While they were talking, they


    arrived at the hospital. There were still five minutes left, but it would take time to walk to the


    consultation room and change clothes.


    Rose didn’t dare to dawdle. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to keep her title of “Queen of Punctuality.”


    As soon as the car stopped, she opened the door and said goodbye to Edward, “I’ll be leaving now,


    bye.”


    “Take the coffee. Drink it after breakfast, or it’ll hurt your stomach, Edward reminded.


    “Okay. I have to go now, bye.”


    “Bye. Be careful. It seemed that Edward would not be at ease if he didn’t remind Rose.


    Edward finished the rest of his coffee and then drove to the Landor Group.


    When he arrived, he walked straight to the elevator. Just as the elevator door was about to close,


    someone pressed the button outside, and the door slowly opened again.


    Kyle strode into the elevator and nced at Edward who was standing beside him. Edward was


    wearing a silver suit. He looked pretty tired, and the dark circles under his eyes could be seen through


    his sses. Kyle could not help but ask him with concern, “What’s going on? You didn’t sleepst


    night?”


    Kyle thought, “There are no projects that require him to stay upte recently. Why did he have to stay


    up all night? Didn’t he pay a lot of attention to a regr life?


    “It could be said that he is a machine which runs ording to the itinerary.”


    Upon hearing Kyle’s words, Edward rubbed the space between his eyebrows and yawned. The coffee


    had yet to work. Last night, when he called Rose, he was worried that she would be afraid while


    sleeping, so he stayed upte. During it, he even used a power bank to keep his phone on. He only


    took a nap after Rose fell asleep. About two hourster, he went to the Roberts’ ce to pick her up.


    Edward was indeed tired. He had always followed his schedule, yet he made an exception and cked


    off today. He instructed Kyle, “Preside over the meeting in the morning. I’ll take a nap.”


    Edward didn’t want to die suddenly. Anyway, he just began his rtionship.


    Kyle thought he had misheard. “Me?”


    At that moment, Edward only wanted to catch up on his sleep. He did not feel anything wrong and


    continued seriously, “T recruited you with great difficulties. Didn’t you always want to show your


    strength?”


    “Wait a minute. I’m not talking about hosting the meeting. I’m talking about your abnormality. This is the


    second time you’ve asked me to host a meeting. Previously, you secretly went to Artrond to attend


    someone’s opening ceremony, but it only took a minute. Today is the second time. Have you already


    woord her or are you still wooing her?”


    The corners of Edward’s lips curled up into a smile. He did not answer Kyle’s question directly. Rose


    had requested an underground rtionship. Today was only the second day since they decided to be


    together. To be more exact, it wasn’t 24 hours enough. The meeting will begin in five minutes. Are you


    sure you want to continue this topic with me?”


    “I knew you’d say that. If you’re in a rtionship, I can help you with the morning meetings every day.”


    Kyle said that out of sincerity. He hoped that Edward would find a girl he liked. Others might not know


    how Edward had lived all these years, but Kyle did, as he had always been by Edward’s side.


    When Edward returned to his office, he did not go to sleep immediately. Instead, he took out his phone


    and sent a message to Rose. [What do you want for lunch? I’ll send it to you. I won’t let Sherri see me.


    I’ll go to you openly when you want to make our rtionship public.]


    Rose drank too much coffee and went to the bathroom. When she just went out and was washing her


    hands, she felt the vibration of the phone in her pocket.


    She wiped her hands and walked back to the office. When she took out her phone and saw the


    message from Edward, she felt that he was a little pitiful. Actually, it was not that being with him was


    shameful, but that she had not thought of how to exin it to others. She wanted to wait a few more


    days, at least until Frank returned.


    Otherwise, Frank would be annoyed when he came back and heard the news. He went to Sapphire


    City to propose marriage, while Rose dated Edward in Athana. If she told everyone about it earlier than


    telling it to Frank, he might feel sad.


    Therefore, after consideration, Rose decided to tell Frank about it first.


    Rose had a n. She thought that if so, Frank wouldn’t beat her up.


    She replied quickly as she had to go to work. I’ll have lunch with Sherri and the others. You don’t have


    to send any food to me in person. You can sleep for a while in the morning. Don’t worry, there will be


    many chances for youter.]


    Edward texted, [Okay. I’ll take your advice. I’ll sleep for a while]


    Rose was stunned. She thought, “Why is he so obedient? Is he going to listen to me from now on? Is


    that what he means?


    “It turned out that Samson and I weren’t in a true rtionship in the past. What was I doing back then?”


    Rose shook her head. and drove Samson out of her mind. She couldn’t bear to let such a disgusting

    guy disturb her beautiful moment.


    While she was thinking, Rose arrived at the consultation room. Edward sent another message. [You’re


    at work, and I won’t disturb you anymore. Call me if you need anything. My phone is on 24 hours a


    day.


    Every message from Edward contained his concern and worries about Rose. Rose was touched and


    felt warm in her heart, even her face turning slightly red. She felt good to be with Edward.


    As an extrovert, she did reply that way. Anyway, Edward couldn’t see her blush now. [It feels good to be


    in a rtionship with you.]


    Edward texted. [That’s good. I’ll fulfill my promise and prove myself]
