Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 393 The next day. Ava went to Sapphire City University as usual. She had sent a message to Frank the previous night, asking him to go back early this morning, emphasizing that he did not need to come to see her off Frank agreed.

Ava did not want Frank to neglect his responsibilities for her sake like a king skipping his levee and becoming sluggish. In her eyes. Frank had always been clear-headed, and she liked his straightforwardness and clarity.

The driver took Ava to school in a low-key car every day to avoid attention. The car would stop at the entrance of the school, and Ava would get out. However, unlike her usual habit of entering the school gate immediately, she looked around for a while before finally entering this day.

In a corner in the distance, Frank sat in the car, recording a video of the young lady's actions. Watching her, his heart ached even more. His girl was suppressing her emotions and feeling uncomfortable alone.

How could he make her feel better? He stayed still for a very long time, smoking half a pack of cigarettes until his phone alarm rang for the time to go to the airport.

After finishing the last cigarette, he finally drove away.

At Athana Hospital.

Today, Natalie was having lunch at the cafeteria with Rose and Sherri. The reason was simple, they wanted to eat the pizza there. It was not the typical pizza from a random pizza shop.

The cafeteria provided a diverse selection of pizzas with unique flavors that were rarely found in the market. You could choose your preferred toppings, and the tastes were all good. This was what Natalie would like to try, and Rose had no objections to anything that the two pregnant women wanted.

“Oh my god, this is really tasty. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? When | saw this, | thought it would not taste good, but | was so wrong. Rose said while eating, regretting not buying it earlier.

Sherri picked up a piece of pepperoni on the pizza. Are you silly? If you want to know what's good to eat in this cafeteria, you should have asked us. We have tried out all the other cafeterias. It's just that Natalie is too shy to join me in cafeteria hopping Natalie picked up a piece of sliced tomato and blew on it. Are you serious? You keep going to the cafeteria in the inpatient department instead of ours.” “But many of their dishes are really good! Have you noticed that our cafeteria’s food has improved a lot recently? Did the director suddenly get rich?” Naturally, Natalie had noticed this too. The taste had changed. Every time Rose helped bring back food, it tasted great. Natalie would end up eating more than usual.

Rose replied. “Hey, we're the ones who get to enjoy the delicious food. Let's just eat and be content. Have these dishes. always been available?” Natalie confirmed. “They did not have these dishes before, but they have started offering them recently. | heard it from the nurses at the front desk. | was curious and wanted to give them a try since | was craving something When Sherri mentioned that the taste in the cafeteria was different, Natalie had a thought in her mind. She wondered if her speculation was correct.

The food was so good that even Sherri was full. Natalie still had her usual appetite. After finishing, the three of them did not leave, sitting there to rest.

Rose was full too. She propped her chin up with her hand, glancing at Natalie and then at Sherri With a bit of hesitation. she licked her lips and finally spoke, “I have a profound question for you guys” Sherri replied casually. “Go ahead, why the preamble?” Natalie nodded in agreement. They both preferred straightforward people, without any pretense.

Rose was still a bit embarrassed, her ears slightly tinged with a blush. After spending so much time together, this was the first time the others had seen her shy like this.

There was a brief pause before Rose gathered her words and lowered her voice. “Have you ever had sex dreams?” As Sherri was taking a sip of water, she immediately sprayed it out, splattering droplets onto Natalie’s white coat across from her.

Natalie quickly pulled out a tissue and tossed the whole pack to Sherri, saying. “If you were not pregnant today, | would throw you on the ground” She began wiping her clothes, there were droplets all over from the water that Sherri had sprayed. Sherri giggled, finding the topic too sudden. “It's not my fault, blame Rose. Just listeri to the kind of question she asked.

Getting anxious, Rose snapped, “Can we still chat as usual, or are you both trying to end our friendship?” Her threat lacked. any real anger, as she herself felt quite embarrassed about it.

Never having had sex dreams before, she had a dream last night where she was kissing a guy, Shockingly, the guy turned out to be Edward. This was almost too much to handle.

After Natalie finished wiping, she looked up at the shy Rose, finding her adorable. “Are you simply thinking about men for sex, or are you thinking about being in love? Her words were straightforward to the point of bluntness.

Surrounded by couples, even Frank was in one. Rose could not help but want to experience it, especially after being exposed to so much couple affection. It was inevitable for her to be curious and want to try it herself. Perfectly normal. according to Natalie's interpretation.

Sherri, at this moment, propped herself up on the table, attentive. “Exactly, tell us. We experienced people will help you. analyze whether you have fallen for someone, thinking about him all day and night It could not be her brother, could it? For a brief moment, Rose regretted sharing this topic with them. These two were not here to solve the issue, they were thoroughly enjoying gossip. “It was just a kissing dream. | did not... | did not see the guy’s face clearly” After hearing Rose's words, Sherri intnediately concluded. “Well, that means you're thinking about guys and wanting to have a relationship.” She also confirmed that the guy in Rose’s dream was not her brother, leaving Sherri a bit disappointed.

Natalie picked up on the hesitation in Rose’s words and was sure Rose knew who the guy in the dream was, but did not want to say it Natalie skipped the topic. “Have you figured it out then? Is it your subconscious thinking about that person?” Sherri chimed in. ‘Are you silly? She said she did not see the guy clearly. That just means she’s in the mood of having sex.

Natalie thought to herself without replying, “I think it's you who's being silly” Rose continued to ask, “Have you both experienced this?” Sherri admitted straightforwardly. “Of course. Alter | had sex with Hackett, | missed it for a while. When | was pregnant, | even dreamt about having sex with him a few times Natalie was speechless once again.

Rose also remained silent and thought to herself, “Actually, there is no need to be so straightforward. | am still an innocent. girl” Seeing the stunned expressions on their faces, Sherri shook her head in disbelief. “Seriously, you guys why feel embarrassed as we are all women? Many of the doctors in our department who assist with childbirth are male. Right. Natalie? You must have had these kinds of dreams too.” The topic briefly shifted to Natalie. Yes, she had experienced it too, while pregnant. She cleared her throat and calmly said, | had it once Sherri was smug this time. “See, see. | told you it is normal” “You think it’s normal? Then why did you spray water?’ Natalie glanced at her white coat, adorned with numerous irregular Watermarks.

“Hey, it's not like | had time to react. But now that you put it that way. I'm curious about the guy in Rose's dream Sherri’s face was full of gossip.

Rose used her glass to hide her face. ‘| feel reassured hearing you both say that. | thought there was something twisted in my mind. If everyone experiences it, then it means I'm normal too, right?” “Of course, guys also have sex dreams, it's normal. And it's partly because you specialize in pediatrics and probably aren't Lamiliar with these matters. I'll give you a crash course in gynecology later” Rose did not reply, as she thought the crash course was not necessary. After the dream, she did some online research and found that many people have experienced this. She just wanted to confirm its authenticity by asking her two friends. At the villa of the Roberts family.

After finishing dinner, Rose went upstairs. She was very quiet, and the calmness puzzled even her parents.

Sitting on the couch, William was concerned. He turned to look at the stairs and noticed that his daughter’s room was still very quiet, without the usual sound of pop music. His worried expression deepened. “Grace, could our daughter be upset. about something? She did not say a word after coming back and went straight upstairs after dinner.

It was a little abnormal to be too quiet.

Grace did not think much of it. Her daughter was grown up now, and she would share her happy or unhappy moments when she felt like it. If not, she would find a quiet comer to deal with it on her own “Don’t worry unnecessarily. Rose is already an adult.” “I'm just worried she’s not happy” William smiled flatteringly, and as he spoke, Frank walked in with a bag in hand. He did not seem like someone who had just returned from a trip.

William called out to him, “You didn’t bring clothes?” Frank lifted the clothes in his hand. ‘Aren't these clothes?” The trip to Sapphire City was very last-minite, and he indeed did not bring any clothes. On the night he arrived, he casually bought two simple outfits at a nearby shopping mall. He changed out of them and brought them back with him.

Seeing her son's repeated trips, Grace sensed that he was tired. Her tone remained neutral, saying, “Have you decided on the engagement date?” “Yeah,” Frank replied simply William wanted to ask about the specific date, but Frank had already decided to go straight upstairs. “I'll take a shower. I'll be going to the pier tomorrow.” Grace replied softly. “Alright, that's fine.

“Check on Rose in her room. She went to her room right after dinner and it's been very quiet. Go and see if she’s upset about something.” William called out to Frank’s departing figure.

The communication between the two siblings was much simpler than dealing with an old father like him due to their similar ages.

So, this task was assigned to Frank.

Upon hearing this, Frank's first thought was that Rose was up to something. He furrowed his brows slightly. “She’s probably asleep.” Frank did not immediately head to Rose’s room. Instead, he went to his own room, put his things in the washing machine, and then sent a message to Ava. [Baby Ava, I'm home.) Ava was probably waiting for his message, as she replied instantly. That's good. Focus on your work and don’t miss me too much.] What Frank did not know was that Ava was sending these messages with teary eyes, He replied, [I miss you a lot. Wait for me.] Ava texted. [Alright, I'll allow you to miss me a lot.) Frank wanted to tell her not to cry, but eventually, he deleted the sentence and texted. (Alright. Get rest early.1 Ava replied. Ok, Frank. Are you going to the pier for work tomorrow?] Frank replied. Yeah, to work and earn money to support you] Ava sent a bashful emoji. In reality, she had already started crying but she managed to hide it in her words. She continued using her usual lively tone. I'll be waiting I'll be waiting for you to support me.) In fact, what she wanted to send was “Marry me.” After a moment's hesitation, she changed her mind.

Frank replied, [OK]
