Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 443

At the same time, compared to the Roberts family’s calmness, the Landor family had exploded.

When they heard that Edward was coming back tonight. Sherri and her family stayed in the Larulor family’s residence. Their main focus was to wait to hear the gossip.

When Edward walked in and saw the familiar lineup, he felt a headache coming. However, he still braced himself and carried his luggage in

The people in the living room had not changed much. Only his niece was missing from the lineup. She was most likely asleep at this time, Otherwise, there would still be the same number of people as before.

Edward was not in a hurry to go upstairs. He placed his suitcase at the top of the stairs. He proceeded to unbutton his cuffs and rolled up his sleeves, revealing his tanned skin. Under the gaze of Sherri, Hackett, and the Landor family, he sat down in the armchair.

People who were in the know knew he was in a relationship. Those who did not would have thought he had committed a crime.

He spread his feet and rested his arms on his knees. He pushed his spectacles and mentally prepared himself. “You didn’t go to bed because you wanted to wait for me to come back? Also, why are you home?”

The last sentence was directed at Sherri.

Sherri spoke very sincerely. She leaned against Hackett’s body, looking very intimate with him. “I just wanted to learn about your progress with Rose.”

He knew that this was the reason. When he met. Hackett’s complicated gaze, Edward did not understand for a moment. Hackett pursed his lips and didn’t say anything. Frank actually didn’t beat Edward up. It was fine if he didn’t beat him up, but how could he even let Edward and Rose proceed with their relationship unimpeded? What was he thinking? Frank must be crazy after he was in a relationship.

Juana clasped her hands nervously and excitedly. “Edward, how did it go? Was Dr. Roberts satisfied with you? Did Dr. Roberts despise you for being much older?”

Sherri’s eyes widened. She never expected her mother to say aloud that her precious son was old.

Hackett, who was eating oranges, choked at his mother–in–law’s words. He tried to rescue his image in Juana’s eyes to gain a favorable impression. “Juana, Edward is actually not old either. It’s just that he’s a little slow. Isn’t he already catching up to us? Right, Edward? Good luck. I wish you all the best.”

Edward fell silent. Back then, he had hit Hackett a little too lightly and let him go too easily.

“Speaking of old age, Frank is the one who is dating a far younger woman. At the very least, Rose is already 26. Ava is only 22. However, Frank is faster than his brother–in–law in terms of speed,” Hackett thought inwardly.

Hackett was dissatisfied with the fact that Frank did not beat Edward up.

Edward pinched the space between his eyebrows. He did not know what to say about this meaningless interrogation. When he met the expectant gazes of the entire family, he replied in exasperation, “Mom, she doesn’t think that I’m old. We’re getting along quite well at the moment. It’s not the time for the subsequent questions you’re thinking about,” Upon hearing this, Juana felt much more at ease. “Alright. It is good that she is satisfied and that both of you get along well. Go to bed early then. Remember to say goodnight to Dr. Roberts before you go to bed. Sweet talk more when you are with her. Don’t keep everything to yourself. If you behave that way, she won’t understand what you are thinking. If you really don’t know how to verbalize things directly, you can talk to Hackett.

Hackett stared at Juana. Was she degrading him or praising him?

Richard did not say a word throughout the entire process. He was here to make up the numbers. He did not want to participate in such a meeting at all.

However, he had to appear every time. It was also mentally tiring for him.
