Chapter 545


    Time passed quietly.


    In the blink of an eye, it reached Memorial Day.


    the Turner family came to visit their family grave in the morning as usual. However, Joseph Turner was


    missing this year. The reason was simple. Christina Yamin was pregnant, so he had to stay in Sapphire


    City to apany her.”


    After visiting the grave, Mr. Turner, Mrs. Tuner, and Ava Turner bid farewell to Natalie and directly left


    for the airport to return to Sapphire City. They did not stay for long and left in a hurry.


    Ava and Frank only had a bit of time to meet each other in the car.


    No matter the weather, as long as he could still move, Theo would go to the cemetery to see histe


    wife every year. Every year, he would say to her, “Old hag, wait for me. I should be almost there. Don’t


    be anxious.”


    This year, Theo was the happiest. He originally wanted a great-granddaughter, but Natalie gave the


    Wilson family a surprise and had two kids at once.


    A few monthster.


    It was getting closer and closer to the due date of Rose’s pregnancy. There was only one week left.


    Under the urging of the Landor family and the Roberts family, Rose took an early maternity leave.


    At the Landor family.


    Rose finished her dinner and leaned against the sofa. She ced one hand on her waist. Her waist


    was very sore. She twisted it. Edward raised his hand to massage her. “Is it sore here? Or is it here?”


    Perhaps it was because he had just pressed the right spot. “Oh, yes, yes, yes. It’s here. Rub it right


    here.”


    “Am I using too much force?” Edward rubbed it a few times. He wouldn’t dare to use too much strength


    and asked gently.


    “You are good. I feel much better now.”


    Richard Landor came out of the study and walked down the stairs. He nced at his loving son and


    daughter-inw on the sofa and advised, “You should stay at home starting tomorrow.”


    “Right, right, right. It’s safer this way. For the next few days, you need to stay by Rose’s side. She will


    feel more at ease with -you at home. Thepany is not as important right now. Our family’s priority


    now is to take good care of Rose,” Juana


    Landor agreed with her husband. There was nothing more important than her daughter-inw giving


    birth.


    Besides, there was still a week before her due date. Who knew when she would give birth?


    Then, Juana instructed, “Rose, sit for a while longer and go to sleep. Get Edward to stay with you.”


    Rose replied, “Got it, Mom.”


    “Oh, right.” Juana was all over the ce. It gave Richard a headache. Fortunately, his daughter-inw


    did not care However, she reminded her, “Can’t you talk slowly? Don’t make a fuss. Also, please lower


    your voice.”


    Juana was not angry at her words. She calmed down and said, “I’m too agitated. I’ll call Sherri and ask


    her to stay with us for a while. If anything happens at night, she’s a professional after all. She can be


    useful.”


    Rose was speechless. She turned to look at Edward and smiled. The meaning in her eyes was that his


    mother seemed to be


    too nervous.


    Edward leaned close to Rose’s ear and replied, “I agree with letting Sherrie over. That way, I’ll feel


    relieved as well.”


    The call was connected. Juana sat down on an armchair. With one hand on her waist, she said at the


    top of her voice, “Are you at home or having fun out there?”


    On the other end of the phone, Sherri felt that her mother had installed a GPS on her body. “Mom, how


    did you know that I’m outside? I’m hanging out with Hackett, Ruby, and Liam.”


    Liam referred to Sherri’s son. It was more convenient to call him that. His real name was Liam


    ckwell.


    In the mall, Hackett was holding his daughter. Beside him, Sherri was pushing a small cart. Inside the


    cart was her son, who couldn’t walk. It was rare for this family of four toe out to the mall.


    It was because the season had changed and the clothes of their son and daughter were not big


    enough. The couple, who liked to dress


    up, were prepared toe to the mall to buy some new clothes.


    Sherri received the call after they had just finished a meal. They haven’t started shopping yet. Juana


    nced at her daughter-inw on the sofa and gave an order like an empress. “Come to our house


    after you’re done shopping. Before your sister-inw gives birth, you’ll stay here to prevent any


    unexpected situations.”


    Seeing that it was silent on the phone, Juana thought that the signal in the mall was not good and


    continued to shout, “Did you hear me?”


    “I heard it, I heard it. I’lle over with Hackett after buying the clothes.”


    There was one benefit to frequenting her parents’ house. She did not need to bring anything with her.


    She could move in anytime by simply going there.


    After hanging up the phone, Juana asked Edward to help Rose upstairs to rest. Lying in bed should


    make her feel morefortable than sitting down. Juana, who had given birth to two children, knew


    how hard it was.


    In the room, Rose touched her bulging belly and leaned against the back of the bed. Edward took a soft


    pillow and ced it on her waist. “Are your feet sore? Do you want me to massage them for you?”


    Rose stretched out her legs and said without any pretense, “Massage them, Hubby. I think I’m treated


    like a queen now. I feel bad for Sherri. She’s been ordered around by her mother for the past few


    months during my pregnancy. There were a few times when Sherriined that she was the


    adopted child while I was the biological one. That was hrious.”


    Edward massaged her legs and said slowly, “Actually, Mom is very concerned about Sherri. As long as


    they don’t quarrel for three days, they both will feel ufortable. They like this noisy way of getting


    along. If Mom is very gentle to Sherri, Sherri might think that Mom is being weird. If Mom feels even a


    little sick, Sherri will leave work and go home right away. She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.”


    “Hubby, your analysis is very insightful. I think so too. Do you think we are having a boy or a girl? Let


    me tell you, Sherri wanted to tell me a few times when she did an ultrasound on me, but I didn’t let her.


    I want to keep it a surprise.”


    “I will be happy with either a boy or a girl. Rose, after giving birth to this child, we won’t have any more


    children, no matter if this is a boy or girl.” Edward had apanied her throughout her pregnancy. He


    tried his best to avoid going on business trips. He usually asked Kyle Jenkins to go in his ce.


    As a pediatrician, Rose liked children a lot. She did not agree. She raised her head and said, “That


    won’t do. My goal is to have at least four children. Our family is too small. I wanted there to be enough


    people in our family to y two games of Euchre together.”


    Afraid that she would be too agitated, Edward pressed her shoulders. Rose sat upright and began to


    analyze. She raised her hands and waved them in front of Edward’s eyes. “Look, Sherri is married now.


    If they’re not around, there’s no one to y card games with. You, me, Dad, and Mom will be enough


    for a game of Euchre. Then, the one inside my belly won’t be able to join the game, right? If I have


    three more, wouldn’t it be just right for them to have another game of Euchre?”


    Edward was speechless. He had heard of people who liked children and wanted to keep having


    children all the time, but he had never heard of someone trying to have children to make up participants


    to y card games.


    Meeting Rose’s burning gaze, Edwardpromised. The alluring Rose could never be refused by


    Edward. He said in a low voice, “We’ll talk about this after we give birth to this one.”


    Rose wouldn’t listen to him. Edward couldn’t withstand her teasing. She had already mastered the best


    methods to flirt with Edward and wanted to give birth to as many children as she wanted. This wasn’t


    up to Edward to decide. She hadpletely thrown away all birth protections.


    Two and a half hourster.


    There was amotion downstairs. It was obvious that Sherri and the others had arrived. Rose


    wanted to go downstairs to take a look. She picked up her phone and looked at the time. It was still


    early. It was only 9:30.


    When Juana saw her grandson and granddaughter, she quickly ran over and picked up the little guy


    sitting on the cart. She then held her granddaughter’s hand with the other hand. Richard also quickly


    put down the magazine in his hand and carried Ruby on hisp.


    “Grandpa, Grandma,” Ruby called out softly and obediently.


    “Hey, did you go buy new clothes with Mom and Dad? Did you buy Ruby little princess dresses?”


    As he spoke, Ruby slid down from Richard’s legs and prepared to take the clothes for her grandparents


    to see. She rummaged through the bags one by one. Hackett and Sherri were still moving things


    outside. Clearly, the bags in the living room were not everything that had bought.


    After a while, everyone in the living room heard the sound of the trunk being closed. Hackett’s hands


    were full, and Sherri’s hands were also full.


    When Rose was helped downstairs by Edward, she saw the entire living room filled with shopping


    bags. They did not seem like they went shopping in the mall. They seemed like they robbed the entire


    mall.


    Rose thought, “Their desire for shopping is even bigger than mine.”


    Edward looked at the shopping bags of different colors and sizes in the living room and could not help


    but frown. He was very speechless.


    Seeing Roseing down, Sherri was so tired that she threw herself onto the sofa. Hackett politely


    greeted everyone. He then emptied his hands and sat down beside Sherri to rest.


    Although she was tired, sharing the result of the shopping had always been a woman’s nature. Sherri


    pulled Hackett’s arm and sat up straight. She moved her butt and said, “Rose…”


    As soon as she said that, a few pairs of eyes stared at her, scaring her so much that she quickly


    changed her words./She smiled and said, “Sister-inw,e and take a look. I bought a lot of things.”


    Juana was also having a headache. She red at her daughter and said, “Only Hackett would allow


    you to go shopping like this. Is the mall going bankrupt or is there a big sale going on? Why did you buy


    so much stuff.”


    Hackett coughed dryly. Actually, he had tried to stop her in the mall. However, when Sherri started


    shopping, she couldn’t even press the brake button on it. She became absolutely crazy and wanted to


    buy everything she saw. She bought a bit of everything and ended up with this much stuff. “Well, Mom,


    these are not only for us, but also for my sister-inw and her child.”


    Hackett helped to exin for Sherri. Then Juana couldn’t stay mad about her daughter, she was being


    nice because Hackett was present.


    Ruby showed everyone the dresses she had bought. Everyone gave her a good review. Sherri said,


    “Ruby chose these herself. She didn’t like the dresses that Hackett and I picked for her.”


    Rose and Edward sat on the sofa on the other side. Sherri was looking for something for Rose in a pile


    of shopping bags. After searching for a while, she found it. “It’s here. Look at the dress I bought for you.


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    I think the color is okay. Actually, I think you look quite good in a dress. You always wear jeans.


    “Isn’t that right, Edward?”


    Edward responded, “Yes, it looks quite good.” It was quite normal. It was just a simple white dress.


    Just as he rehearsed this sentence in his heart, Edward was quite shocked in the next second. Sherri


    took out a monk robe that looked like a flowery bedsheet. On it was a fiery red peony with green


    leaves. It was very beautiful and flirtatious, but it was very tiny.


    Sherri raised the clothes in her hand and showed them to everyone in the air. She looked smug as if


    she was waiting for everyone to praise her. “This looks good, right? I think it looks really good. Let me


    tell you, if they have my son’s size, I’ll buy it for him too. Isn’t it so unique? I feel your baby would be the


    coolest baby ever after wearing it.


    “Uh-huh…” After saying that, Sherri added a final note.


    Rose looked at this piece of clothing with a mysterious expression. She could not find any words to


    describe it. Her expression was indescribable. It was too frivolous. If there was a simr design for


    adults, Hackett might be more suitable for it.


    At this moment, Rose’s mind was already filled with the image of Hackett wearing an adult-style flower


    bedsheet and monk attire.


    When Rose smiled, Edward saw it. Sherri, who had been introducing the clothes, didn’t see their


    expressions. She was still waiting for everyone’s praise. Hackett was looking for clothes they bought for


    his mother-inw and the others to win their favor.


    Edward saw Rose’s smile, he leaned closer and asked, “What are you smiling at?”


    Rose lowered Edward’s neck and leaned closer. In a voice that only the two of them could hear, she


    described the image that she had imagined in her mind to him.


    After saying that, Edward smiled inexplicably. He pressed one hand against his upturned lips and


    looked at Hackett in front of him with aplicated gaze. That gaze made Hackett, who was


    rummaging through things, confused/


    He was very puzzled. Why did he look at him like that? Why was it so strange?
