Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 358

Frank drove the black off-the-road vehicle on Athana Road. The breeze was gentle, and the sun was

bright, so they let both car windows down.

It seemed as if the breeze also wanted to experience sweet love and was sweetly caressing Ava’s

face,

In the car, Frank and Ava’s hands were clasped together tightly, not wanting to be separated for a

moment. At that moment, electric currents seemed to be transmitted through each other’s bodies.

Ava felt bored due to the traffic jam so she took Frank’s right hand and played with it. She depicted one

finger at a time and even compared the length of his fingers with her own.

Then, she opened his hand and gave him a palm reading. Then, she compared his hands with hers

again. Frank, who was driving quietly, stopped at the traffic light and glanced over at Ava. He found that

she was seriously studying their hands, and indulgence appeared in his eyes.

He did not retract his hand.

Meanwhile. Ava getting more enthusiastic. She looked at Frank’s hands for a long time. ‘Do you really

not know how to play the piano

Ava had already asked this question several times so Frank couldn’t help but laugh. Still, he answered

patiently. “I really don’t

“Fine”

Ava showed a regretful expression

Soon, they arrived at the Grand Manor Hotel. As soon as they entered, the security guard at the door

greeted Frank politely, “Good morning, Frank

Seeing that Frank was holding a girl’s hand, the guards were in turmoil. Their first guess was that Ava

must be Frank’s girlfriend, so they quickly added. “Hello, Mrs Roberts”

Frank was startled by what the guards called Ava He stopped in his tracks and nodded at the guards,

who had a good eye, smiling “Remember to go to the finance department to receive a bonus after

work”

Immediately, the guards knew that they had addressed Ava correctly. So, they quickly said in unison,

“Thank you, Frank. Thank you, Mrs. Roberts”

The security guards at Lathern Club were basically Frank’s subordinates and their job was to prevent

people from getting drunk and causing trouble in the hotel

After that, Frank led Ava to the highest floor, where the dining room of the presidential suite was

located. The Turner family had booked the whole restaurant

The last time the Turner family came. Trevon was the one who booked this place. This time, Trevon

sent the date when the Turner family came to Frank’s phone

After receiving the message, Frank immediately asked the person who was originally staying in the

presidential suite to check out. He even arranged other rooms for him and compensated hum with

money just to vacate the room on the highest. floor

Trevon was glad that Frank was taken over by Ava, and Frank was also willing to accept this

arrangement.

When they arrived at the dining room, Frank held Ava’s hand and brought her over to choose her

favorite breakfast. After ordering a few dishes. Ava heard a low magnetic voice above her head. ‘Ill eat

the rest if you can’t finish it.”

“Oh, okay. Do you eat oatmeal?” Ava wanted to eat it, but she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to

finish it.

Frank answered, “Yes.”

Ava continued to ask, “What about this pancake? It looks good. Do you eat this too?”

Frank continued, “Yes.”

“What about the salad?”

“Yes”

“What about the chicken sausages? Or the bacon?”

“What about milk? Ava had to ask about milk because she had developed a habit of drinking it in the

morning. If she didn’t have some, it seemed like something was missing. However, she realized Frank

had too much food in his hand, and there were already two plates full of food.

Ava stared at the milk and waved her hand. “Forget it. There are oats anyway. Frank, you should

choose something you like!

Ill help you get it ”

Frank pointed his chin in the direction of milk. “Milk. Let me take these to our table first. You can sit

while I get my own

breakfast”

“Oh, okay”

Frank brought her to the table and sat down. Then, he instructed Ava to eat first and then went to get

food himself. After a while, he came back with two plates in his hand. There were tarts, pasta, toast,

mini fruit plates, pan-fried tomato, and

mousse cakes.

When Frank put down the plate. Ava’s eyes sparkled. She looked up and met Frank’s cold face. “Frank,

I can’t believe you like these! I like them too. It means we have similar tastes”

These were the section where Ava had stood for a long time when she was choosing the food, and

Frank memorized them all. It was probably because Ava wanted to eat them but did not want to waste

them. In the end, she restrained herself and took the things she wanted to eat the most.

Frank said. “Yes. You should eat first.”

Coincidentally, a guy holding a plate sat down in the empty seat opposite. He wore golden glasses, and

his eyes were dark. He stared at the delicacies on the table for a while but did not say anything and sat

down quietly.

Ava called out excitedly. “Joseph, why did you come down to eat at this time?”

Joseph picked up the fork and explained, “I went out this morning and had something to deal with. I

came back late. Eat slowly.”

Frank greeted Joseph politely. “Mr. Turner, did you sleep well last night? If you have any objections, just

let me know.”

Joseph took a bite of pasta and didn’t look up. The bribe is a little obvious. Everything else is fine.”

“What bribe?” Ava didn’t understand

Joseph smiled and explained, “It’s nothing. I’m just joking with him. Eat quickly. Your stomach will feel

uncomfortable if the food gets cold”

“Okay” Ava had no intention of asking further.

However, Frank knew what Joseph meant. This time. Frank had indeed added something to the

service. For example, Joseph’s room was filled with expensive wine, while the bedding in Daniel’s room

was custom-made. Also, for the coffee, Frank had given them the most expensive brand. Therefore,

Joseph could tell what Frank was trying to do at a glance.

After half an hour, Frank and Joseph did not speak. They were not chatty people to begin with. The

most they talked was when they sent over the map at Sapphire City. The three men had talked about

business

Ava also slowed down on eating, while Frank stopped eating after having a few pieces of pancake. He

waited for Ava to finish before continuing.

Then, Frank reached out and took the remaining oatmeal from Ava and started eating one spoonful at

a time. In just a few bites, he finished the whole bowl.

Joseph smiled as he watched Frank eat. Still, he did not say a word. Instead, he handed a tissue to

Ava. “There’s some cream at the corner of your mouth.”

“Oh. Frank, can you finish it? There were still a lot of things on the table so Ava was a little worried.

“Yes,” Frank answered. He didn’t expect Ava to eat quite a lot in the morning. There wasn’t a huge

portion, but there were

more varieties.

Moreover, he didn’t like sweet stuff, especially in the morning. However, when he thought it was Ava’s

leftovers, he didn’t feel it was that bad.

Joseph finished his pasta, crossed his arms, and leaned back in his chair. Then, he took a tissue and

wiped his hands very carefully. His gaze was fixed on Frank, who was eating Ava’s leftovers. After a

while, he smiled in satisfaction. “Mr. Roberts, you’re quite a frugal person. Not bad”

When Frank finished Ava’s breakfast, Ava handed over a tissue in time. Frank expressed his gratitude

before answering Joseph. It depends on the person.”

Joseph didn’t respond to this and just smiled.

After breakfast, Frank did not follow Ava to the presidential suite. Instead, he went to Lithern Club’s

office

Joseph put his arm around Ava’s shoulders, walked to the elevator and they went straight to Emma’s

room.

Natalie, Trevon, and Jasper were already sitting in the room. When they saw them, Natalie thought that

they had gone to have breakfast. “Are you guys done eating?”

Emma was holding Jasper and Daniel was talking to him. At that moment, Jasper was very happy and

giggled.

Then, Joseph let go of Ava’s shoulder and rubbed her head before walking over to pinch Jasper’s face.

“Call me Uncle”

Jasper called out in an adorable tone, “Uncle.”

Joseph smiled and praised. “You’ve gained a little weight. You have to eat more so you can grow taller.”

Then, he went to the other side of the couch to talk about business with Trevon. When Joseph went to

the base in the morning, he discovered a few problems and needed to discuss them with Trevon

Ava sat down beside Natalie and answered, “Yes, I had breakfast with Joseph and Frank.”

Natalie was speechless. Did Frank come so early? Or….

Emma saw the confusion on Natalie’s face and said, “Ava didn’t sleep at Grand Manor last night. She

slept with her friend.”

“You slept at Deepwater Bay?” Natalie was very surprised.

Ava nodded obediently “Yes”

Seeing that Natalie was a little surprised, Ava nodded a few more times, indicating that she really slept

over there.

Natalie believed her now and could only praise Frank for being capable enough to bring Ava home with

her uncle and

brothers around.

It seemed that her brothers were quite satisfied with Frank

At the Athana airport was another uncomfortable parting. Emma and the others reluctantly kissed

Jasper and hugged Natalie

Joseph could see his sister’s reluctance and instructed Trevon. “Take good care of Natalie. You can still

make up for your regrets.”

Trevon’s heart skipped a beat. “Thank you for your reminder. I will.”

Joseph did not say anything else. He was satisfied with Trevon’s current attitude. Then, he walked over

and played with Jasper for a while before glancing at Ava. Then, he pursed his lips before boarding the

plane.

Then, Frank greeted Emma and Daniel “Mr. and Mrs. Turner, have a safe trip?

The Turners expressed their gratitude and waved at Natalie, telling them to go back while they boarded

the plane.

Trevon was speechless, and so was Natalie.

“Since you’ve worked so hard. I’ll make room for you,” Trevon said as it was rare to see Frank looking

so pitiful.

Ava stood on the spot and hugged Natalie before kissing Jasper on the cheek. ‘Say goodbye to Auntie

Ava. Auntie Ava will visit you next time. Remember to tell me what gift you want, okay?”

After saying goodbye to her nephew, Ava politely said to Trevon, ‘Goodbye, Trevon”

Trevon replied, “Goodbye, Ava.”

In order to make room for the miserable couple, Trevon and Natalie left first.

Frank smiled at Trevon in satisfaction.

Finally. Ava hugged Frank’s waist. She did not hug his neck today as she felt depressed. Soon, her

beautiful eyes were watery. “Frank, I’m leaving again”

Frank rubbed the back of her head in distress. “I know. Be good. I’ll visit you soon.*

Hearing this, Ava looked up to see if Frank was telling the truth. “Really?”

“Yes,” Frank said affirmatively.

After all, the entire family was waiting for Ava. It was not good to take up too much time. In the end,

Frank endured the reluctance and said, “Go, your family is waiting.”

Frank seemed to have seen what lie wanted in Ava’s eyes. Then, he leaned down and kissed her

forehead. “Remember this until next time.”

‘Oh’ Ava tiptoed and pecked Frank on the lips. “Goodbye, Frank. I’ll miss you.”

Frank gave a faint response before reaching out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and led

her to the plane.

Just like that, the plane took off Frank looked up and watched as the plane soared into the sky again.

He didn’t leave and thought to himself. “How many times more would he have to raise his head?”

Ava’s message came while he was lost in his thoughts. “Frank, you get one point. I’m very happy that

you taught me how to play cards. Now you have 84 points.”

Frank leaned against the car door with his phone. Then, he looked up at the calm sky and replied,

“Okay.
