Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 101

Two years later, in Azureland stood a magnificent Rose Manor. The entire villa was surrounded by a

variety of roses, as if it were a painting, giving people the feeling of living in a fairy tale world.

The entrance was surrounded by a swarm of black-clad bodyguards, and high-definition cameras were

installed in every corner of the villa.

Inside the villa, a girl with a high ponytail and a cute face was running around chasing a little cutie who

had just learned to walk. The entire living room was a mess, but it exuded a warm and homely

atmosphere.

The white dress and ponytail swayed irregularly as she ran, giving off a playful and agile vibe. The

teenage girl eventually grew tired and collapsed onto the leather sofa. panting heavily as she shouted,

“Lena, help me! I can’t move anymore.” Hearing the girl’s cry. Lena rushed over after washing her

hands and picked up the little cutie who was still trying to pull the teenage girl’s hand, wanting to

continue playing “Jasper, why are you so energetic? You’ve been running around for hours. and your

auntie is exhausted. Yet, you’re not tired at all, Lena said, slightly out of breath.

The little boy kept tugging at the girl’s dress, his bright eyes shining with innocence as he tried to pull

her up. He murmured. “Auntie, let’s play”

The girl lying on the sofa still hadn’t caught her breath, her chest rising and falling as she mumbled,

“Jasper, let me rest for a bit, just a little while”

After discussing it with the little boy, she started to complain again. “It’s too tiring to take care of a child.

I won’t have a child in the future. I want to be a Dinky”

The little boy was very obedient and stopped making a fuss. He started to build his own building blocks.

Just as the voice fell, a gentle voice could be heard from the stairwell. “You can’t even handle taking

care of a child for a while. If you want to remain childless, you may be removed from the Turner family.”

The girl pouted and lay on the sofa. The sofa instantly caved in, and the little boy quickly climbed up to

sit on the girl’s stomach. The girl naturally protected him I was just saying. It’s not like I don’t like Jasper

and Ruby, right, Jasper?”

The middle-aged woman walked downstairs and hugged the little guy from the girl’s body. “Jasper, are

you hungry? I will make you something delicious, okay? What do you want to eat!”

Jasper rolled his bright, clear eyes and said, “Pasta, eggs”

Not long after, Jenny came out carrying a young, lively, and handsome girl. As soon as she saw the

girl, she struggled to get down “Auntie

Jenny slowly put the little girl down and held her hand as they walked to the sofa. When she saw the

cute and adorable girl, the girl immediately sat up

The girl lifted Ruby with both hands and placed her on her lap. With slender fingers, she gently poked

at her small body. causing the little girl to giggle uncontrollably The room was filled with the sound of

her innocent and romantic laughter, creating a lively atmosphere in the living room

It made Jasper in the middle-aged woman’s arms restless. Soon, he joined in.

After playing for a while, the middle-aged woman reminded lum, “Ava, stop playing. Let them rest for a

while. If they get too excited, it will be late for their afternoon nap”

Ava took off her hair tie and tidied her messy hair. She tied it up casually and said to the two babies in

front of her. “Enough fooling around. If you continue playing, you will be spanked. Do you understand?”

The two ignorant children blinked their big sparkling eyes and nodded cooperatively. Ava wondered if

they really understood.

Lena watched the harmonious and warm scene unfold before her, feeling deeply moved. She thought

about how Natalie had gone through so much hardship and adversity and never imagined that Natalie’s

mom still had relatives alive. Fortunately, Natalie was able to find her family after leaving the country.

Over the past two years, the Turner family had treated Natalie well, fearing that she would not be

comfortable with the local caregivers. They even chartered a private plane from Athana to bring her

relatives over to take care of Jasper and Ruby so that Natalie could focus on her studies without any

worries.

They did not need to do any other chores here. They just needed to take care of the two babies.

However, in reality, they were very relaxed. Most of the time, Mrs. Turner and Miss Turner took care of

them.

Soon, the servants finished preparing lunch. The middle-aged woman, dressed in a dress that showed

off her

well-proportioned body, didn’t seem to show her age. Her long hair fell over her shoulders, and she

wore comfortable house shoes, giving off a warm and approachable vibe.

Her skin was very fair, and she was 5 feet and 6 inches tall. When she walked, she had an inuute

temperament. The way she spoke was gentle but eloquent. There was a hint of toughness in her

gentleness, but she did not give off an uncomfortable

Emma, turning around picked up the little boy Jasper, pasta is ready Should I feed you, or would you

like to eat by yourself

Jasper sand in a childish voice. “I want to eat it myself“

“That’s great, Jasper. Then you’ll eat by yourself. After you’re done, tell your mommy that you are

amazing today”

Jasper similed innocently, revealing six teeth. He was so cute that one could not help but want to kiss

him. “Tell Mommy“

Emma smiled warmly and rubbed the little guy’s head.

Although Ava was quite naughty herself, she really liked these two children.

Despite frequently complaining that she was tired, she found joy in playing with the little kids in ne

As they were eating, the sound of a car could be heard from outude Halfway through their meal, the

two little kids quickly climbed down from their seats and left the room with surprising ease, suggesting

that they were used to doing so

Emma and Ava followed closely behind the two little kids, afraid that they might fall. “Slow down, be

careful not to trip”

The car door opened, and two girls in completely different clothes got out. One was hot, and the other

was handsome.

It was now January, and the weather in Sapphire Caty was warmer than Athana. At this time of year.

Athana experienced cold and chilly winds, while Sapphire City enjoyed a comfortable spring-like

climate

Natalie was dressed in a white t-shirt, leather jacket, jeans, and boots She had her hair tied up in a high

ponytail. No one could guess that she was already a mother to a one-and-a-half-year-old child.

On the other hand, Sherri was dressed in a floral dress, a white trench coat, and high heels, exuding

femininity. In terms of appearance, there wasn’t much change over the year, but for Sherri, her body

had undergone a sky-high transformation.

“Mommy… The two little guys ran into Natalie’s arms.

Sherri rolled her eyes. “You two are heartless. What about me?”

The little girl grinned sweetly. “Mommy Sherri”

Whenever the little girl called her by that, Sherri felt a sharp pain in her heart, but she paused for a

moment before replying, “Ruby, have you finished your meal?”

Yes, Mommy, you will eat.”

“Okay.” Sherri squatted down and carried the child inside. She said politely and gratefully to Emma,

“Thank you, Emma.“

“There’s no need to thank us. We’re family. We should thank you for taking care of Natalie for so many

years”

Shortly afterwards, a man dressed in a white athletic suat walked into the room. He had a tall figure

and stood with an air of confidence. A navy blue watch adorned his wrist, adding to his overall

elegance and sophistication. His every move exuded charm and charisma, making him seem like the

embodiment of a prince charming at Rose Manor.

The man first playfully touched the nose of the little boy sitting on Natalie’s lap before sitting down and

placing a set of keys

in her hand.

“Natalie, this is the apartment I bought for you in Athana. The decoration has been completed, and you

can move in as soon as you go back. The property has already been transferred to your name.”

Natalie looked at the man in surprise. “When did you buy it? Why didn’t you tell me? I have money”

The man smiled. “Save your money to buy milk powder Isn’t that right, Jasper! This is a gift from Uncle.

Do you like it?”

As he spoke. Jasper played with the keys on the table.

The man’s tone was reproachful Learn from Jasper. This is what a family should be like. Don’t always

separate us.”

“Alright. I’ll take it Do I have to remind you to give me the 20 thousand dollars tomorrow before I leave! I

don’t want to hear any ex uses later I take the property, but I really do have the money. The Foster

Group has been doing well these past few years, and I have extra cash on hand Ruby and Jasper

won’t be going without food”

Emma and the two rantues laughed, but Sherri kept her head down while eating. She wasn’t in a

particularly good mood that day.

Ava pouted. “Joseph, why don’t you transfer some money to my card account?”

After sticking her tongue out at the man, she turned to Natalie and Sherri and said with a hint of

reluctance, “Natalie, are you really leaving tomorrow? I’ll be the only one left at home then. Why don’t

you take me with you so that I won’t be lonely?”

After the two little ones finished their meal, Natalie kissed their little faces before they both scurried off

to play. Half-jokingly and half-seriously, Natalie said, “The course has ended. We were supposed to

leave last month, but the Athana

Hospital has already reminded us several times. If we don’t leave soon, I might get fired.”

Ava didn’t seem to care and said, “If they fire you, so be it. You can stay here. We have our own

hospital and research institute. You can go wherever you want.”

If this conversation had taken place in Athana, people might consider it showing off wealth. However, in

Sapphire City, when Ava Turner said it, it was simply stating a fact. They really did have that kind of

family background and wealth.

“Ava, I have to go back. My grandpa and mom are over there. I’ll come over to play when I have my

annual leave, or you and uncle, aunt, and Joseph can come to Athana to visit us anytime.”

Emma changed the subject and glanced at her daughter, who was playing on the table. She said to her

son, “Joseph, have you checked the house in Athana for formaldehyde and other toxins? The health of

our two little kids is very important, and we can’t be careless about it.”

“Mom, I’ve asked a professional team to check. Don’t worry.”

Then, he said to Natalie, “Also, I bought you a ride. You have a child and can’t ride a bike. The bike is

parked in the garage. The key is on the shelf in front of your house.” He was extremely attentive and

considerate.

Sometimes, Natalie wondered what kind of woman was worthy of someone like Joseph.

Natalie felt warm in her heart. Over the past few years, they had helped her with everything they could

think of, afraid of tiring her out. With a smile on her face, she said, “What else have you arranged for

me? Arrange everything that you can; I won’t say no to more help.”

Joseph knew that Natalie was joking, so he smiled and said, “Everything has been arranged for you. If

you still feel like something’s missing, just give me a call, and I’ll take care of it for you.”

Natalie said nothing.

Emma looked at her daughter, who still seemed low-spirited, and gently said, “Ava, after you finish your

lunch, I will take you shopping. I promise you’ll have a great time.”

Ava said halfheartedly, “Okay, whatever.”

Natalie patted Ava’s head as if she was petting a kitten.

Ava was mischievous yet adorable. She wore her emotions on her sleeve, whether happy or unhappy.

Her innocence was pure and unadulterated, just like a blank sheet of paper.
