Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

After washing up, Jasper went downstairs to eat breakfast.

As for Natalie, she turned around and went to her room. Seeing that Trevon was still asleep, she tiptoed out, gently closed the door again, and went downstairs.

Olivia and Sophia had already finished their breakfast. They sat leisurely on the sofa and scrolled through their phones, leaning their heads against each other as they chatted about something.

Caleb and Rachel were eating in the dining room. When they saw their grandson coming down, the two of them quickly put down their bowls and utensils and walked to his side. They asked worriedly, "Jasper, how are you feeling?" Caleb carefully observed his grandson's expression and waited for an answer. He frowned slightly.

Originally, Natalie and Trevon were prepared to keep this matter a secret from their parents-in-law. However, things did not go as planned. Rachel, who had always gone to bed early, suddenly cdown to get water last night and bumped into them.

Under Rachel's repeated questioning, Natalie briefly told her mother-in-law what had happened.

Seeing that his grandparents were so nervous that they didn't even want to eat breakfast, Jasper reached out to support them and brought them to the dining room. "I'm much better now. Don't worry." Caleb nodded. He knew that his grandson had made it seem less serious as he did not want them to worry, so he did not probe further. "That's good. Stay at hand recuperate well. Don't go out for the tbeing. There's no hurry to go back to work at the company." Rachel agreed. Her eyes were still filled with worry. She glanced at her grandson from top to bottom. "Yes, your grandfather is right. There's no hurry." Jasper replied, "Yes, I've been staying at hrecently. | don't go out." He would not go back on his word.

Seeing that their grandson agreed, the two elders were relieved. Even Mary was so worried that she did not sleep the entire night. Gage also woke up several times in the night, and it was Natalie who comforted them to go to sleep.

Just as they were talking, Sophia suddenly spoke, "Eh, where's my dear Mary?" Natalie cdown early in the morning and found it strange that she did not see the two busy figures. After asking the other servants, she found out that they had gone to her grandfather's cemetery again. They were probably going to pray to her grandfather to protect the children. "He went to your great-grandfather's cemetery." Caleb nagged, "Gage's rheumatism has been acting up recently. Why is he still going out? I'll talk to him properly when he's back." Rachel said, "Let them be. Even if you don't let them go, they still care about Mom and Dad. At least they can say what's in their hearts if they go." After breakfast.

Natalie helped the two children apply medicine. Caleb had already retired. Now, Trevon was in charge of the company's matters, so Caleb no longer went to the company.

In the study.

Rachel was moxibusting Caleb's leg. He was old and the aftereffects of the car accident had started affecting him again. His leg hurt terribly just by walking.

After applying the medicine, Olivia suddenly walked in. The door was not closed. Seeing that her Grandma was helping her Grandpa with moxibustion, she wanted to help. She reached out and wanted to take the moxibustion device from Rachel's hand, "Grandma, letdo it. Teachhow to do it." Caleb stopped her. "Let your grandmother do it. You're still injured. This is an old illness, so don't worry." Rachel did not give the thing in her hand to her granddaughter. She suggested, "Go down and play with Sophia.

When you graduate, | will leave Grandpa's leg to you. | will retire then." "Alright, I'll go down then." Caleb looked at his granddaughter in relief and said, "Go." After the child left, Caleb could not help but sigh. "Natalie taught the children very well. Be it Olivia, Sophia, or Jasper, there's nothing bad about them. Dad was wise." Rachel said, "I agree. You don't have to look atlike that. I'm not objecting." Seeing that her husband was still staring at her with a meaningful smile on his lips, Rachel continued, "I only made a mistake once. How many years have you been holding it on me? Even Natalie has let it go. You're really..." Caleb smiled. "It's rare for you to make a mistake." Rachel glared at him. Her hands were massaging Caleb's other leg.

When it cto educating children, Rachel was very supportive of her daughter-in-law's methods. She set an example and taught by example.

It was said that parents were the best teachers for their children, and Natalie had proved that it was true. Her children had seen how filial she was to her parents-in-law, and how magnanimous she was to Tucker. Her children had also seen how she took care of the patients, and how she saved the dying and helped the injured.

Olivia had also been influenced by her mother. She also wanted to be a selfless person and take over her mother's job.

The three children were all very outstanding. She was especially satisfied and gratified.

Trevon woke up at around nine o'clock.

Trevon, who was dressed neatly, slowly cdown the stairs. He was still adjusting his cuffs, and his tie was hanging around his neck. When Natalie saw him coming down, she took the initiative to help him take off the tie around his neck. He bent down cooperatively, and the two of them looked very heartwarming.

Jasper, who was sitting on the sofa, saw this scene and an image appeared in his mind. He subconsciously smiled.

Sophia caught Jasper smiling to himself. She stood up and asked, "Jasper, are you starting to envy Mom and Dad's love?" Natalie helped Trevon straighten his tie and button up his suit. If not for the children, Trevon would have kissed Natalie as a reward for helping him.

Jasper glared at his sister as he said, "Don't use that emotional intelligence of yours to misinterpret my smile." Olivia was amused by her brother's words, and she shrugged her shoulders happily. Her mother said that Sophia was very similar to his father in the sense that they both had low emotional intelligence and would always miss the right things to say.

For example, when they saw a cat meowing while running, Olivia said that it was in heat, while Sophia said that it might be too bored.

Another example was when they saw a young couple flirting with each other on the streets. Sophia asked whether they were trying to get attention or to get others to turn back and look at them.

Trevon added, "If you're envious of my relationship with your mother, bring your woman has soon as possible." As soon as he said this, Natalie hurriedly patted his arm and gave him a stern look. "Hurry up and leave." Olivia, on the other hand, grasped the key point. She suddenly raised her voice as she asked in surprise, "Jasper, you have a girlfriend?" Her father had not asked Jasper to find a girlfriend soon but to bring her hsoon.

Jasper pinched the space between his eyebrows. His two sisters looked at him with their mouths agape as if they had heard sexplosive news. His father, on the other hand, smiled playfully.

"No, that is what Dad wants," Jasper replied.

"No wonder. | knew it was not possible. I've only been overseas for a short time. How could | not know that my brother has a girlfriend? You scared me," Sophia commented.

She looked like she knew that was the case and threw herself onto the sofa.

Trevon then invited, "Sophia, I'm going to the company. If you're bored, cto the company to play." "Okay." Sophia placed a cushion at the back of her head and used it as a pillow. She then crossed her legs and made an okay gesture. She seemed so much like a tomboy.

Natalie was speechless.

Olivia looked at her brother suspiciously. She was about to ask when the person at the door interrupted her.

"Trevon." It was Rose and Ava. When they heard that Jasper and Olivia were injured, they cover to take a look.

Trevon, who was in a hurry to go to the company, did not stay any longer. He responded and walked out.

"Auntie Ava, Auntie Rose," the two children greeted politely. Sophia did a flip and sat up. She then moved quickly and skillfully, crossing her legs and placing the cushion on her lap.

Jasper also greeted them politely.

He tried his best not to look at his sister. Otherwise, he could not help but want to criticize her.

Rose asked, "When did you cback, Sophia?" Sophia patted the seat beside her for Rose to sit down as she replied, "Last night. Don't you have to work today?" Rose answered, "I'm on leave. | worked yesterday so that | could rest today. How are you guys? Are your injuries very serious? Last night, Sherri cried so much that | was scared to death. My mother-in-law also cried for a long time. When | went over with my husband, | was quite frightened as well. | almost thought that we had lost Liam.

My mother-in-law, Sherri, Ruby, and Liam's grandmother were all crying. The ground was covered in tissues." Everyone was speechless. Was it that exaggerated? Natalie thought, "Thank god Jasper hid his injuries from them. Otherwise, all of them would have cto the Wilson's residence to cry." After Rose's description, everyone replayed the scene from last night in their minds. It did look a little like a funeral.

Ava sat down beside Olivia. She wanted to check on Olivia's injuries. "Lettake a look at your injuries. How are they?" Olivia held Ava's hand and rejected her. Her tone was gentle as she reassured Ava, "I'm fine. I've almost recovered now. My injuries aren't serious at all. It's just a scratch." Ava was skeptical as she asked, "Really?" Olivia replied, "Yes. If you don't believe me, ask my mother." Ava turned to look at her sister, and Natalie nodded. Olivia's injuries were indeed not serious. Natalie said, "It's true. Olivia's injuries are not serious." Sophia looked everywhere. Her mouth puffed up as she went from left to right. She was having a lot of fun and was not bored at all. She threw the cushion high and caught it. She then threw it high and caught it again and again.

Rose asked again, "What about you, Jasper? Is he badly injured?" Jasper lied without changing his expression. "It's just a little scratch." Ava heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Frank only cback in the middle of the night last night. He only toldafter | pestered him for a long time. He even wanted to hide it from me." She had been worried all night.

The room was filled with women, so Natalie knew that her son could not sit still. She instructed, "Go upstairs, Jasper. I'll have a chat with Ava and Rose." "Alright." Jasper stood up. When he passed by Sophia, he took away the cushion that she had thrown into the air.

It was an eyesore, and he could not bear to look at it for a moment longer.

Sophia was dissatisfied that Jasper had taken the cushion away. She turned to ask her brother, "What are you doing?" Jasper ignored his sister and threw the cushion to Olivia. Olivia caught it and hugged it in her arms.

Upstairs, Jasper did not go to rest. Instead, he went to the study to practice lettering. Due to the lack of strength in his injured arm, the words he wrote were not nice to look at. After finishing one sheet, he threw it into the trash and wrote another.

Downstairs, the women were chatting enthusiastically. From tto time, slaughter could be heard.

At around ten o'clock, Sherri finally arrived. Before she entered the house, her voice could already be heard. "It's so lively." "Why are you here? Is Liam feeling better?" Rose asked.

Last night, Sherri was still crying her heart out. Today, her cheeks were rosy and the corners of her mouth were curled up to the back of her ears.

Sherri sat down beside Rose and looked for Jasper. She whispered, "How's my future son-in-law?" Natalie automatically ignored her best friend's words and replied with a smile, "He's resting upstairs. He's doing quite well. Is Liam feeling better?" Sherri shook her head and continued, "He's like a king now. Ruby and my mother take turns serving him. Those who don't know that he's injured will think that he's ascended the throne." These words made Sophia laugh non-stop. She laughed out loud and said, "Auntie Sherri, you're too funny.

Hahaha." She couldn't stop laughing. She laughed till her stomach hurt.

Olivia also smiled. She took out his phone and sent a message to Liam. [I heard that you've ascended the throne today.] Liam, who had contributed the most, was confused.

Olivia wiggled her eyebrows at Sophia and gestured for her to look at her phone. Olivia had sent the message in the group chat.

Sophia glanced at her phone. Her mouth was agape, and the smile on her lips widened uncontrollably. She sent a message. [Do | need to choose a concubine for you?]
