Chapter 481
They went back to the hotel.
Rose dragged Ava to her new bedroom, wanting to share her happiness. Everything in the room was decorated by Edward, and Rose was still very touched by his efforts to this day.
As long as she did not lose her memory, she would remember it for the rest of her life.
In the future, she would still be touched when she thought about it.
Seeing his sister pull Ava to her room in the hotel, Frank naturally followed closely behind. He strode in lazily, and Edward followed behind with something in his hand.
When Frank saw the decoration in the room, he smiled again and turned to Edward, who was following behind. “Who was the one decorating the room? You or the hotel staff?”
Edward answered truthfully, “I don’t have much time, so the style is pretty simple. I’ll prepare something better for Rose when we get back to Athana.”
“It’s not bad,” Frank said.
These two words could be considered praise, and it was rare to hear such compliments from Frank. Edward had no particular reaction, as he didn’t have much contact with Frank in normal circumstances and didn’t realize the significance of these words coming from him.
This was how Frank usually spoke to Ava, so she wasn’t surprised.
The most surprising reaction came from Rose, who quickly interpreted, “Oh my god, Frank, are you complimenting my Edward? ‘Not bad’ doesn’t even cut it. You’re practically saying his decoration is amazing, right?”
Frank thought, “My Edward? You guys just got married recently! Stop being this dramatic,”
She only had eyes on Edward now, and Frank found it amusing.
Edward’s gaze was fixed on Rose. His lips curled into a smile, and Rose also grinned brightly. Hearing her sharp-tongued brother praise her husband, she was rather thrilled.
Frank couldn’t be bothered to look at his sister’s silly look. The room was quite nice, and it could be seen that Edward had put in a lot of effort, which showed that he did care about Rose.
As an elder brother, he was quite satisfied with his sister’s choice.
Ava was like a supervisor, placing her hands behind her back and observing every corner of the room. She felt that Rose was quite happy, and it could be seen that Edward was a thoughtful person.
Rose went over and grabbed Ava’s shoulder. Her movements were too big, so Ava almost lost his balance. Frank quickly held Ava’s arm and said to Rose, “You are already married, so it means you are an adult. Can’t you try to be more mature?”
He turned around and said to Edward, “I’ll leave this task to you.”
Continuation of the conversation revealed that this task was even more challenging than completing a project at the company. He didn’t have much confidence, and Rose was a free-spirited and happy-go-lucky type.
Forcing the label of “serious and mature” on Rose might be a bit challenging, but if she decided to perform gracefully on her own, she would do so exceptionally well.
After meeting Frank’s cold gaze, Edward said with a gentle voice, “She’s in charge of the family, and I’m in charge of the company.”
Edward had mentioned this before, perhaps when discussing their birth mothers.
Frank said, “You guys already managed the workload. That’s pretty fast.”
Edward answered, “We’ve already reached an agreement.”
“What are they talking about?” Rose pondered.
“Aren’t we visiting their hotel room? Why are they talking about the workload?’ Ava was also confused.
In the end, Ava was persuaded by Rose to stay and help build Château de Courbonne. Ava wanted to build her palace with Frank, so she didn’t take out the palace she had bought but instead asked Frank to put his things back in the room before coming back to Rose’s room.
Seeing Frank leave, Edward followed.
Frank opened the door to the room next door and invited her out of politeness, “Wanna come for a drink?”
Edward didn’t say a word but let his actions speak for his thoughts. He walked into Frank’s suite, and upon seeing the room’s arrangement, he deduced that they had probably arrived at Haililand not this morning but the previous night. Edward had some analytical skills, after all.

Chapter 481
After analyzing the situation, Edward smiled and thanked him, “Thank you, Frank.”
Seeing that Edward was looking around, Frank knew why he had expressed his gratitude. “I only have one request from you. You have to make Rose happy,” he said.
Without waiting for Edward to respond, Frank continued, “You should know that Rose has had some traumatizing experiences in the past, which she would rather put behind. I hope you can help her move on.”
Edward accepted the task readily. “Of course I will.”
Seeing that Edward agreed with a serious expression, Frank politely invited Edward to hang out in the living room for a bit.
Inside Rose’s room, Ava poured half of the pieces on the table. Each piece sparkled under the lamplight. Ava meticulously searched for and handed the puzzle pieces to Rose, who used tweezers and tools to start building the castle.
Two heads were better than one, and they formally kick-started a harmonious duet.
Not every piece was large. Some were quite small, requiring wide-open eyes to locate and precise alignment to assemble. If they went askew, it would be troublesome to disassemble them.
Edward and Frank were in the adjoining room discussing some topics men often talked about, along with Frank’s instructions for Edward. On the other hand, Rose and Ava were in this room, continuously testing their perseverance, eyesight, and dexterity…
After about an hour of piecing it together, Ava rubbed her eyes, feeling like she was seeing stars even when she wasn’t looking at the golden pieces.
She let go of his chin and hugged him, her chin resting on his neck, her hands wandering on his back. “It is more for your feelings. If you just want to sleep, we’ll just sleep. But if you have other ideas, well, we can do that too, but just once.”
He was her partner, and she wanted to try her best to make him happy. After all, they had finally experienced the wonder of intimacy last night, so she wouldn’t mind having more time like this.
Edward raised an eyebrow. He didn’t have those kinds of thoughts running through his head all day long. He wondered if Rose had misunderstood something about him. “Rose, I’m not thinking about that. I’ll carry you to bed.”
Rose immediately turned around. “You don’t want to?” She sounded surprised. Was she not alluring enough?
That shouldn’t be the case. She considered herself a pretty attractive and charming young woman.
Why was Edward so calm?
Edward noticed the surprised look on her face, and he was afraid that she would misunderstand him. He could only explain slowly as he carried her and stood up. Meanwhile, Rose hung on him like a koala.
Edward explained slowly as if reading her mind. “You’re very attractive, but I don’t want to hurt you. We should have some
rest.”
With that, Rose had no more doubts. At least Edward had been pretty wild last night. She responded in a pleasant tone, “Alright then, if you ever need it, just tell me. Don’t hold back.”
He had been holding back for 30 years, and it wasn’t healthy. For this kind of thing, she could definitely help him. As for the company’s matters, she might not be useful even if she wanted to.
At this moment, Edward did not know what to say.
In the end, he didn’t say anything. He just carried Rose to the bed and placed her on it. “Do you want to change into pajamas?”
your
Rose lay on the bed and looked at Edward. “No, but do you want me to change? I can if you want me to. It wouldn’t take long anyway.”
Edward answered, “Just do whatever you want.” Anyway, they planned to have some rest, so it was better if she had clothes
on her.
“Alright, let’s get some sleep. I like to cuddle with you.”
“Sure.”
With her husband cuddling, she might not need to put that many pillows on her bed anymore.
