Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 550

Frank missed the girl a little. It had been a long time since he last saw her. He wanted to go to her, but he was

afraid of disturbing the girl’s learning progress.

Once he went over, the girl would accompany him. After he left, the girl would stay up late to study again. Frank

could only suppress the thoughts in his heart. [It’s fine. I’ll wait for you.]

Ava put away her phone and glanced at the three busy people beside her. She scratched her neck in

embarrassment. “Mommy, Joseph, Christina, can I slack off to date?”

Christina was amused. Sometimes, she felt that Ava was really cute. Ava was a sweet girl. When Ava was behaving

herself, she was especially obedient. When she was sensible, she was very sensible. It was as if she had several

personalities that could be switched at will, making people feel very comfortable.

She couldn’t help but admire Frank’s sharp eyes.

Joseph gave his permission first. “You can go.”

After getting her brother’s permission, Ava quickly went upstairs.

After Ava left, Christina said, “Ava and Frank have gone a long way.”

“Yes, there’s still another year. I suggested to Frank to get a marriage license first. This child said that there was no

hurry. They’ll make arrangements after Ava graduates.” Emma was extremely satisfied with Frank.

After listening, Christina thought, ‘If it were Joseph, they would have gotten their marriage certificate first. A certain

man likes to be direct.

On the other hand, from the looks of it, Frank was allowing Ava to grow freely, whatever Ava felt like. However,

Christina was certain that Frank had his own spies in Sapphire City.

For example, whether it was Frank, Joseph, or Trevon, they all liked to control things. They did not like things that did

not go according to their plans every day. Otherwise, they would have to deal with it every day. Hackett Blackwell

would not do this. His main focus was to do whatever made him happy. Upstairs, Ava locked the door. She hid under

the covers and turned on the table lamp. This way, it felt more like a chat. It made it feel more ritualistic. When

everything was ready, she called Frank.

It was picked up instantly. In order to match the girl’s atmosphere, Frank’s room was also dark. Only a desk lamp

was turned on. On the screen, Frank appeared in his pajamas. His hair was messy. He must have just washed his

hair. A bunch of hair fell over his eyebrows. It looked like it was about to poke him in the eyes.

Through the screen, Ava could not help but want to travel through the screen to help Frank tidy his hair. Meanwhile,

Frank looked at the charming little girl on the screen who was like a fairy. His longing which he had just suppressed

burst out once again, A low voice came out from the phone. “Baby Ava.”

The corners of Ava’s mouth curled into a particularly beautiful arc. Under the blanket, her legs were bent, and her

chin rested on her knees. She replied softly, “Yes?”

Frank pressed his tongue against his molars and finally said what he wanted to say, “I miss you.”

His low and magnetic voice overflowed through the phone screen and invaded Ava’s eardrums. It spread

throughout her entire body and finally stopped at her heart. Her heart was beating irregularly.

Ava smiled foolishly. Her smile was bright. She was very excited in her heart. Her Frank rarely said these words. “I

miss you too. I really, really miss you, but I have class tomorrow.”

Frank said, “Okay, focus on class.” He just missed the little girl and wanted to tell her.

Ava did not want to make the atmosphere so sad. In case she couldn’t control herself and cried, Ava changed the

topic. “I think Rose’s baby is so cute. He’s so adorable. His mouth and eyes look like Rose’s. What do you think?”

Frank’s gaze was fixed on the person on the screen. “Yes, they do.”

Ava did not think that Frank was being perfunctory. Compared to before, he was already doing very well because he

could say that he missed and loved her. Ava continued, saying, “Let me tell you. I saw Rose give birth. Then, my

sisters all had cute babies. I think it’s quite fun to get pregnant, to use 10 months of pregnancy to wait for the baby

to break out of its shell. It’s full of expectations and surprises. Then, we watch as the baby grows. People like my

mom and dad, William and Grace are so grandiose. It accounts for all moms and dads. Of course, everyone except

my sister’s father. I’m talking about responsible parents.”

Frank never thought that the girl would actually want to get pregnant. “Is pregnancy infectious,” Frank wondered.

He refused without thinking, saying, “Wait a little longer.”

Ava was still in school. If she became pregnant, how would she go to class with a big belly?

Ava continued to analyze as if she was trying to convince Frank. “I realized something. Look, Christina is pregnant

with a single child. My sister’s first child is also a single child. Do you think I’ll have one child each pregnancy like my

sister? Then there will be two children from the second pregnancy. That would be wonderful.”

In the future, the villa of the Roberts family would be filled with many little babies running and playing around.

Imagining this image in her head, Ava looked forward to it.

The corners of Frank’s lips twitched. It turned out that the girl not only wanted to get pregnant but also wanted to

get pregnant two times. Looking at the girl who kept rambling, he chose not to dampen her enthusiasm. Anyway,

Frank had made up his mind that at most, they would only have one pregnancy. There wouldn’t be a second one.

Without waiting for Frank’s reaction, Ava continued, saying, “It’s also possible that our twin genes are only passed

down to women and not men.”

After saying that, she patted her thigh and laughed non-stop. Frank was inflected with a smile. “It’s possible.”

After chatting for more than an hour, Ava’s phone was burning hot. Frank then urged the girl to hang up and rest

early. Ava still had class tomorrow. Having a girlfriend who went to school was really worrying. Frank had to

suppress his emotions.

The next day, Joseph sent the Turner family couple to the airport.

Christina was waiting at home for Joseph to come back and take her to the company. Joseph was worried about

leaving Christina alone at home. It was better if she stayed by his side. It made him feel more at

ease.

The private plane pilot was also tired today. He had just sent the Turner family couple back and had to go to Athana

again. Now, he could fly to Athana with his eyes closed.

A girl in a dress was carrying a limited-edition bag. Behind her were several bodyguards in black. The person at the

front was pushing a suitcase.

Night fell.

The

courtyard of the villa of the Roberts family was filled with the pleasant chirping of birds and the rustling of the

breeze trying to wreak havoc on the branches. There was also the sound of a suitcase dragging on the ground.

The moment the woman reached the door, she gestured for the bodyguards to keep quiet. Then, she said in the

lowest decibel, “Shh, don’t say anything. I have the key and I know the password.”

The bodyguards nodded in unison.

The door was opened and it was quiet. Grace hadn’t returned yet and was accompanying Rose in the hospital. Only

William and Frank were left at home. It was already late at night and it was so quiet that one could hear their own

breathing.

This time, Ava did not even tell Grace because she did not want Grace, who was already so busy that she didn’t

even have a moment to rest her feet, to come back and take care of her.

After closing the door, Ava did not even dare to breathe loudly. She took off her shoes and quietly went upstairs,

taking one step at a time.

The steps were very cold, so cold that she shivered. She covered her mouth and walked very slowly, afraid that she

would make any noise.

She gently pushed open the door to Frank’s room. She didn’t bring her suitcase with her because she was afraid of

making too much noise.

Because Frank said that he missed her, after class, she waited at the airport for her mother’s private plane to come

back to Sapphire City from Athana. The Turner family couple got off the plane. Ava got on the plane with the

bodyguards, and Pat Black went as well.

Tomorrow was the weekend, and there were no classes. Ava left studying for next week, mainly because she

missed Frank too.

Ava quickly lifted the blanket and hugged the person inside. It was warm inside the blanket. The person inside the

blanket turned around. He didn’t grab Ava’s hand like last time. Instead, he tried to turn on the light to confirm that

he was not dreaming.

Ava stopped him. She smiled under the blanket. “It’s me, your girlfriend, Ava. Are you surprised? Are you

touched?

“You didn’t expect me to come, did you?”

Frank held his breath and stopped what he was doing. His hand froze in midair. After a while, he pulled the little girl

into his arms and said in a broken voice, “Don’t come so late in the future. If you want to come, I’ll be the one to

pick you up.”

Ava hid in Frank’s arms and said gloomily, “Didn’t you say that you missed me?”

Just because he missed her, the girl rushed over overnight to relieve his pain of missing her. His arms tightened

around Ava, and Ava almost suffocated in his arms. Ava pushed him away with her hand and said in a coquettish

tone, “I can’t breathe.”

As soon as she said this, Frank let go of the person in his arms. “Is your suitcase downstairs?”

Under the blanket, Ava wrapped her arms around Frank’s waist. Feeling the familiar warmth and touch, Ava

touched him restlessly and looked up at him. “Yes, I was afraid of making a sound. Why didn’t you grab my wrist

today?”

The last time she gave Frank a surprise, she was almost treated like a thief. She was pressed directly onto the bed.

If she had been a second slower, she might have been thrown off the bed. Today, Frank’s reaction was abnormally

calm, as if he knew that it was her.

Indeed, Frank knew that it was his girl. The reason was very simple. Rose had just given birth and was still in the

hospital. There was only him and his father at home.

However, Frank did not pass it over. Instead, he patiently explained to the girl, “Did you forget that Rose is in the

hospital? You have a criminal record.”

After saying that, Frank pinched the little girl’s nose dotingly. His movements were very light, while Ava pouted in

dissatisfaction.

Ava giggled. “I see. Frank, lower your head. I have something to tell you.” Under the blanket, the little girl curled her

finger at him. Frank thought that she really had something to tell him so he lowered his head to get closer to her.

He heard the little girl’s warm breath and low voice. “I took a shower at home. I’m not on my period.” Ava

snickered.

Frank raised his head in a second and looked at the little girl playfully under the dim light. How could he resist

blatant teasing? He had been sleeping alone for a long time.

Without a word, Frank flipped over and pressed the little girl under him. With his hands on both sides, his eyes were

slightly red as he warned, “Baby Ava, you have to take responsibility.”

Ava nodded shyly. Of course, she knew that she had to take responsibility. She was here to extinguish Frank’s fire.

The kiss then landed, disrupting Ava’s thoughts. She lifted her head and accepted Frank’s longing, which had been

cultivating inch by inch and blossomed from the seed of love.

The heat in the room spread to every corner, and the curtains fluttered. Perhaps it was because it was hot, the

blanket that was in the way was ruthlessly thrown to the ground.

The soft moonlight shone inside the courtyard of the villa, coating it with a layer of silver.

The vines of the climbing rose were tightly entwined together and swayed with the wind. They moved to the left

and then to the right, giving people the feeling that they would be uprooted by the wind in the next second.

The shadows of the intertwined vines swayed with the wind and moonlight. It was dizzying.

The temperature outside rose by a few degrees, and a secretive feeling surrounded the Roberts family villa. The

sensitive plant in the courtyard lowered its head and didn’t dare to look up.

After some unknown amount of time had passed, so long that one couldn’t bother to look at the bathroom and just

wanted to lie down and sleep.

It was too tiring. The medicine to relieve one’s longing was good, but it was too tiring and harmful to one’s health.
