Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 357

What was the saddest thing in the world? It might be finding out that your closest relatives had always

wanted to harm you, and you were kind enough to wish he would repent.

Because you never really understand who he truly was or the darkness, the manipulation, and the

impenitence in his heart.

If one always felt that he was man unjust situation, everything they saw would be unbalanced and

unfair. They would never appreciate the good things m life.

After Carlos left, Natalie greeted Rachel and Trevon before going upstairs to comfort Theo. The family

knew that Natalie was very important to Then, so everyone acquiescence this task to her.

Natalie knocked on the study door very softly “Grandpa, may I come in?”

Normally, Theo would have told her to come in quickly. This time, he didn’t answer her immediately.

Instead, he was silent for a long tune before saying in a doting tone. “Come in, Natalie”

Upon hearing this, Natalie pushed the door and entered. Then, she glanced at Theo to find that his

eyes were slightly red with blood vessels under his eyes. The usually lively and cheerful old man, who

always had a hint of child-like cuteness, had an additional sadness on his face. It made Natalies heart

ache to see him like that Suddenly, she remembered her grandfather.

Natalie sat down in front of Theo, poured a glass of water and gently placed it in front of Theo

“Grandpa, let’s play a game! Please guess if I’m pregnant with a boy or a girl. If your guess is right, I’ll

grant you a wish. If you lose, you’ll have to grant mne a wish.”

As expected, Theo’s sadness dissipated because of Natalie. Then, he wiped his eyes and forced a

smile. “Natalie, I know that you’re trying to cheer me up. Even if we don’t play this game, I can still

grant you a hundred wishes.”

Natalie supported her chin, shaking her head. “That’s different. A bet is based on personal strength,

and the other is given as a gift, so the meaning is different. Don’t you think so, Grandpa?”

Theo was amused. “Alright, then I will make a guess. She should be my great-granddaughter.”

Natalie thought for a moment before saying. “Alright, then I don’t have a choice. A boy it is.”

Then smiled. “There’s another possibility where both of us lose Twins”

Natalie successfully changed the top that The cared about “Grandpa, I don’t think that’s possible. It’s

not that I doubt Trevon’s ability, but we don’t have a family history of having twins”

Theo thought about it and felt that it inade sense. The Wilson family only had one child every time and

had no history of having twins. Therefore, the probability was not high. “Regardless of whether it’s a

boy or a girl, you’ve contributed greatly to the Wilson Jarmily, and I will love the child dearly”

Naturally, Natalie believed in Theo’s words

“Will it be difficult for you to work in a few days? Natalie, I don’t mean for you to be a full-time mother. I

just want you to rest at home if you’re tired. You can go to work after you give birth. You don’t have to

work so hard.”

Natalie understood Theo’s intentions. He was afraid that she would suffer. “Grandpa, I’ll go to work for

now. If I really can’t handle it anymore. I’ll take leave. I’m feeling great these days, and I don’t have any

morning sickness. Perhaps it’s really a girl like what you’ve guessed.”

Theo loved hearing that, making him laugh out loud. At this point, the gloominess in his heart

completely dissipated.

Rachel, Caleb, and Trevon stood outside the study with slight worry. When they heard Theo’s

unrestrained laughter, they heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, Trevon stiled proudly.

Caleb sighed. “You should treat your wife well. You’re lucky to have her as your wife”

Trevon smiled even more proudly. Rachel looked at her son’s smug expression and found it funny.

Finally, this family had a sense of hominess. After that, she turned around and went back to her room.

Her grandson was about to wake up.

Back at Deepwater Bay. Ava gradually woke up, but the room was dark. She could vaguely see the

light green blanket and the colour of a pillow. Then, she narrowed her small eyes and slowly opened

them.

She yawned and reached for her phone to check the time. It was already 7:30. She needed to call her

mother.

Emma’s contact was recorded as ‘Dear Mommy’ in Ava’s contact list. Soon, the call was quickly picked

up. Emma was just like Joseph. Both of them couldn’t have a deep sleep. Then, gently, Emma asked,

“You’re up?”

Ava turned on the bed, placing the phone beside her ear and told Ermina bluntly. “Mom, I didn’t do

anything bad with Frank. He slept next door.”

Emma didn’t seem to be surprised. “I know you’re a sensible girl. Our flight is at 10. What time are you

coming over?

Ava immediately replied, “Tll get up now and go over right away.”

Emma hung up after giving her a reply and did not instruct her daughter to do anything else. She

believed that Ava was not a reckless person and also believed in her own judgment.

After meeting Frank in the manor, Emma could sense that he was also a sensible guy who had

boundaries.

Last night, Ava called and asked if she could sleep over at Deepwater Bay Afraid that she would not

agree, Ava told her that Rose was with her. Immediately. Emma knew that Frank had limits. Frank

would not find a third person to stay over if he wanted to do something with Ava. In the end, Emma

agreed, so she was not surprised to hear Ava’s explanation in the morning

Daniel, who had seen Ava’s Instagram post, even praised Frank. Joseph immediately said that Frank

had also sent him a message and promised not to mess around.

After all of Frank’s actions, the Turner family decided not to overly interfere with the young couple as it

would only make the two of them feel awkward. Moreover, they weren’t a feudal family.

Later, Joseph went to the research base early. He was constantly busy and also enjoyed being busy.

Although he had already handed the matter to Trevon, he still had to go and take a look. After all, this

was the dowry he gave to Natalie.

On the other side, Ava brushed her teeth and realized that she did not bring clothes. So, she picked up

her phone and planned to send Rose a message.

Suddenly, she realized that Rose had sent her a message very early on in the Fairy Fortress chat.

“Ava, I’m going to be late for work. I have to clock in at work, so I won’t take leave to send you off.

Have a safe trip. Little Princess.”

Sherri wrote. “Ava. I can’t send you off because I have work today. I’m sorry.”

Natalie replied. “We’re coming over now. Are you up?”

Ava replied. “I’m up.”

Natalie had no idea that Ava was sleeping in Deepwater Bay and thought her sister was in the Grand

Manor Hotel Ava did not say anything in the group chat, not even Rose mentioned anything about it.

Ava suddenly thought of what her mother had said yesterday and replied. “Natalie, you don’t have to

pack your things. Mom told Dad that you can’t go to Sapphire City this time. She said you must be

careful since it’s your early pregnancy stage. She asked you to go again next time. Don’t let them

worry”

There was no reply for a long time, as Natalie was discussing with Trevon. Finally, she replied, “Okay. I

understand. At this point, I probably need someone to feed me when I’m caring and help me wear my

clothes, huh?”

“Clothes?” Ava remembered what she was up to. So she sent a message to the contact ‘Ava’s Hubby”

“Frank, I left a set of clothes here when I came last time. Did you throw it away?”

Soon, there was a knock on the door. Ava threw her phone on the bed and ran to open the door. To no

surprise, it was Frank

He was still in his pyjamas and looked sluggish, but there was his expression looked energetic. He

must have woken up long ago. Then, Ava tiptoed and hugged Frank’s neck. After kissing him on the

lips, she said softly. “A good morning kiss. I seem to have forgotten to bring my clothes-”

The sudden kiss made Frank’s back stiffen. He did not grab her waist immediately. Instead, he stared

at her face for a while before lifting her leg with both hands and placing it on his waist

Ava hung on Frank’s body like a koala while he walked to his closet. It turned out there was a jacket

and shorts inside the closet.

It was the outfit she had left here last time. Back then, she wanted to remind him, but she had forgotten

to mention it again. Right now, she was immersed in love and forgot about the outfit.

It turned out her clothes were hung on the hanger, mixed in the middle of Frank’s clothes. Even her

pants were hung inside. Then, Frank’s next actions made Ava blush

He opened a drawer with his undergarments, and Ava saw that her undergarments were placed inside

too.

Seeing her blush, Frank did not expose her. Instead, he smiled. “Have you forgotten about it long ago?”

Ava leaned on his shoulder and hugged him tightly. She nodded a few times, indicating that he had

really forgotten that and did not leave them here on purpose.

Frank chuckled, “Come down and put on your clothes. I’ll send you to the hotel after that.”

“Okay,” Ava replied obediently.

Frank had Ava’s class schedule recorded on his phone, and Ava’s favourite class was scheduled for

tomorrow. Since Ava was enthusiastic about learning, she would never want to skip class.

After that. Frank gave her a quick peck on the lips. There was a hint of reluctance in his eyes as he

said, “Im going to change. Then, I’ll take you to the hotel for breakfast”

Ava nodded and there was also reluctance. Every time they parted, she always felt uncomfortable.

However, she had no

choice as she had to go back to class.

Frank took a pair of jeans and a striped T-shirt from the closet and went out. He even closed the door

for her.

Then, Ava looked at the closed door and pouted. She took off her pyjamas and changed into a jacket

and shorts. For a moment, she felt awkward. It seemed that Frank had washed her undergarment,

making her feel embarrassed.

As for why she didn’t think it was Rose who washed it, it was because when she was still sleeping.

Rose had already gone to work. So, it shouldn’t be her. Plus, after she left. Rose must have returned to

her parent’s house after work. The possibility of Rose finding her clothes was not high.

Later, Ava tied her hair into a high ponytail. When she opened the door, Frank was leaning against the

door frame, waiting

for her.

Although it was a simple outfit. Ava still felt that Frank was very handsome. “Frank, have you been

waiting for a long time? Why didn’t you knock?”

Frank, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, stood up straight. He held Ava’s neck

with one hand and carefully sized her up before letting go. I just got done.”

Ava took the initiative to reach out and let Frank hold her hand. Their fingers intertwined as they walked

down the stairs.

There were two cars parked in the courtyard One was a Porsche, and the other was an off-road

vehicle. Frank Roberts glanced at Ava and patiently let her make a choice. Which one should I drive?”

Ava liked cool cars The off-road vehicle. I like how cool it looks”

Frank smiled, knowing that she liked it Young ladies loved cool stuff. However, Rose had a lot to

complain about when. Frank letched her last time in this car She kept complaining about the car’s

height and that it was difficult to get into the car. After opening the passenger seat door. Frank carried

Ava and put her into the car. Then, he closed the door and went straight to the driver’s seat
