Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 419

Frank quickly walked over, picked up Ava, and walked straight to the bed. He gently placed Ava on the

bed.

Then, he turned around and walked toward the bathroom.

Looking at Frank’s back as he went to the bathroom, Ava suddenly had the illusion they were already

married, sleeping in the same bed, eating and living together each day. The only difference was that

this was a hotel.

It was not a wedding house.

She liked this kind of happiness very much, but Ava knew that this happiness was short-lived or would

have the parting that should happen. But this time, Frank still did not say when they would part.

She couldn’t bear to ask.

She was in a daze as she watched.

Soon, Frank came over with a hairdryer from the bathroom. When he saw the person sitting on the bed

staring at him in a daze, he plugged in the power and rubbed her wet hair. With a pampering tone, he

asked, “What are you thinking about?” Ava reacted and didn’t want Frank to see that she couldn’t bear

to part with him, so she smiled happily and said, “I was just wondering where to go on Children’s Day.”

Frank said indulgently, “Up to you.”

The meaning of these simple words was that it was completely up to Ava.



After knowing what she was thinking, Frank turned on the switch and patiently helped her blow dry her

hair. However, Ava stopped talking and fell silent. Frank thought Ava was tired from playing.

Ten minutes later, Frank stood at the side. He inserted a hand into her hair to feel if it had dried. After

checking, he turned around and put the hairdryer back. 7

When he came out of the bathroom again, he saw Ava sitting motionless with her hands propping on

the edge of the bed, staring at him quietly. He strode forward. “Are you tired?”

Ava shook her head and smiled charmingly. “No.”

“Unhappy?”

At night, they were quite happy at the amusement park. Frank thought about why Ava was suddenly

unhappy.

He picked up Ava and placed her on his lap. He held her waist with one hand and tidied her curly hair

with the other. Then he looked at the little girl at eye level with him. “Are you afraid that I’ll go back

tomorrow?”

Similarly, Ava wrapped one hand around Frank’s neck and rubbed his thick, black hair with the other.

Because he had just taken a shower, his hair was still wet. Frank’s hair was not completely dried. “Are

you going back tomorrow?”

Frank didn’t answer whether he was going back tomorrow or not. He just handed the choice to Ava.

“Set a time.”

Then, he looked at Ava without blinking, waiting for her answer.

As for the return date of Frank, it was indeed not set. He did not tell Grace when he would go back. The

only thing out of control when he was not in Athana was that Rose was in a relationship.



He didn’t say that he forbade Rose to date. He only wanted to let her spend more time to get to know

Edward more and let Edward cherish his sister more. Unexpectedly, his plan failed. Rose was way too

impulsive.

Ava wrapped her arms around his neck and looked around with her eyes. She looked like she was

indeed deep in thought. Frank was not in a hurry. He patiently waited for an answer and pursed his lips

without saying anything.

Gradually, Ava’s analysis came through. Her voice was sweet and soft, and it was as if every word she

said tickled Frank’s heart. “Well, why don’t you stay for another five days? No. It will be very tiring for

your mom. How about three days?”

Ava wanted Frank to stay for another five days, but she was afraid it would be too much, and Frank’s

mother, who had always been in Sapphire City, would not like it.

“No mother-in-law would like her son not working for his future daughter-in-law, right?” Ava thought to

herself.

Hearing Ava change her words, Frank chuckled and immediately made a decision. “Five days it is.”

After saying this, he could see the smile on Ava’s face. She was happy. Then, Frank changed the topic.

“You like Grace?”

Ava first nodded. Then, she shifted her butt and adjusted her sitting posture. “Yes, I do. I think she is

cool. I like her very

much. Your father is also cute.”

Frank thought, “Perhaps no one in Athana would think William is cute other than Rose. But there are

indeed lots of people



who think Grace is cool. She is valiant sometimes, after all.

Anyway, it was fine as long as Ava liked her. She was the first person to say that she liked Grace’s

personality, Frank pinched. her face. “Don’t you feel oppressed when Grace doesn’t speak?”

Ava’s eyes were crystal clear. There was no miscellaneous at all. She was discussing her future

mother-in-law. “No, how you, Rose, and Grace get along is fun. It’s especially cool. I hope I can get

along with them in the future.”

“Of course, you’ll get along well with them,” Frank said with confidence.

“Hey, I think I’m getting a little excited and looking forward to it.”

Frank said patiently, “You’re my girlfriend. I like you, and I believe my family will like you, too.”

With this analysis, Ava smiled happily. “That’s great.”

At night, Frank was ready to be an abstinent man. Ava was soft and delicate. It would leave red marks

on her body if he exerted a little force. Her body wouldn’t be able to stand it. “Sleep. I won’t touch you

at night.”

Ava, who was already a mature woman, naturally knew what he meant by touch. She obediently

replied, “Okay”

They fell asleep in each other’s arms, but Ava was quite naughty. She was happy that Frank said he

would stay another five. days longer, so she was excited. She hugged Frank’s neck under the blanket

and kissed him repeatedly, which was very playful.

She was playing and expressing her happiness. Little did she know that this was a torture for Frank.

Frank was turned on a few minutes later, so he pretended to threaten, “Baby Ava, stop fooling around.

Do you still want to be a fire extinguisher at night?”



As expected, Ava became quiet. She hid in his arms and laughed in a low voice. Frank turned off the

wall lamp and shook his head helplessly. “Why are you still laughing? Hurry up and sleep.”

“Okay, Frank. Good night.”

“Yeah, good night.”

At that time, lots of people in Athana hadn’t slept yet.

There were lots of messages in the group chat Fairy Fortress. The one who started was Sherri. [It’s

almost Children’s Day. Natalie, how are you going to celebrate it for Jasper?]

Natalie replied, [My family wants to hold a banquet, but I stopped them. I plan to take my son to the

marine park.]

Sherri said, [Only Old Trevon can think of such a thing. The banquet is only useful for adults, but it’s not

interesting at all for Jasper. Even an amusement park is better than that.]

It couldn’t be a coincidence that they could be best friends. Sometimes, their thoughts were the same.

At this moment, Natalie was thinking the same thing. If the Wilson family held a Children’s Day banquet

to celebrate Jasper’s happiness, the meaning of this banquet would probably change. In the end, it

would only become a business meeting.

A child should have the happiness of a child and not be mixed with impurities. The purest childhood

was the best.

Rose also sent a message in the group chat. [I’m participating too. I’m still a child.]

Natalie replied, [You are indeed a big child.]



Sherri retorted, [Girl, you’re older than me, okay? Do you need me to remind you that you’re already

26?]

Rose replied, [That’s too much. It’s age discrimination. I’m a child because I’m not married. Aren’t

unmarried girls counted as children?]

Sherri said, [Alright, you’re my future sister-in-law. What you say is right.]

Natalie grinned and sent a surrendering emoji.

In an instant, the style of the conversation in the group changed. The three of them realized they were

relatives of each other.

At last, they decided to take the two children to the marine park on Children’s Day. They had to work

during the day. After exiting the chat interface, Rose wondered why Edward hadn’t sent her a message

today. Was he busy?

Rose sat on the bed and propped her head up as she thought. After a while, Edward’s message came

like they were connected. [What are you doing?]

Rose lay on the bed excitedly, her legs swinging non-stop. She held her phone with both hands and

replied, [I was talking to Sherri and Natalie about how to celebrate Children’s Day for the two kids.]

Edward asked, [How are you going to celebrate it?]

Rose replied with a question mark.

Edward continued to say, [How do you want to celebrate Children’s Day? Isn’t it Friday? Do you want to

celebrate it here or abroad?]



After reading this message, Rose was stunned. Did Edward treat her as a child? Although she had

indeed joked in the group chat just now that she was a child, wasn’t it blissful to be treated as a child by

her boyfriend so blatantly?

Rose didn’t say that she wasn’t a child, nor did she say that she wouldn’t go. [If I want to go on a trip,

will you have time? Saturday and Sunday. Two days off!]

Edward replied, [Yes, I’m free if you’re free.]

It was just that Kyle would have to deal with the aftermath.

Rose grinned and replied, [Alright then, I’ll treat you to a trip. Why don’t we go to Artroyland? There are

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

still many projects that we haven’t played last time. I want to feed the pigeons.]

Edward replied, [Sure, will your family agree?]

Rose instantly remembered that she had yet to confess to her parents, and her brother had yet to

return. It seemed that she had to tell them herself. She could not keep it from Grace forever. Otherwise,

Grace would think that she did not trust her.

Thinking about it this way, Rose decided to tell them tomorrow and go out to play on Children’s Day. It

was not a big deal. It was just dating.

Wasn’t it just a confession?

One second later, Rose thought of something. She picked up her locked phone again and sent Edward

a message. [Did my brother hit you?]

Edward asked in confusion, [Why do you ask so?]



Rose recalled the look on her brother’s face after he fought with someone that night. As she did not

see Edward’s face, she did not know how badly he was beaten.

Just as Rose was about to type, Edward sent a message. [Your brother didn’t hit me. We had a good

chat.]

These words made Rose feel sorry for Edward for seconds. This man was not only a warm man but

also a good man. He was probably afraid she would have a problem with her brother, so he lied and

said he had a good chat with Frank. How good could it be when his mouth was wounded?

Rose had no idea that the person who fought with Frank was Trevon. She believed that the person who

fought with her brother was Edward.

Meanwhile, Edward’s words had automatically changed to cover-up. This made Rose add a lot of

scenes as she imagined Edward being beaten up in her mind. Once again, she found many cute

emojis in her phone and sent them over.

She sent a bunch of emojis like hugging and “You’re so nice!”

The last emoji was a small person covered with a blanket, which meant good night.

Even the way Rose said good night was especially pleasing.

It was the next morning. Rose had woken up 10 minutes early every day recently because Edward had

come to pick her up. Today, Rose was even more unexpected. She woke up more than half an hour

early.

When William saw Rose coming down, he couldn’t help but rub his eyes, thinking he had seen wrongly.

Only when he took a second look did he realize it was his daughter and not his imagination.

“Rose, why are you up so early?” William was not used to it and asked curiously.



Not only was William shocked, but even Grace, who was waiting for breakfast on the sofa, could not

help but look at the staircase.

Noticing everyone’s gazes, Rose was still embarrassed. She even admired herself for waking up half

an hour early. She was impressed by herself. “I just wanted to have breakfast with you guys.”

This lie was pretty good. She did not know if Grace and William would still be able to eat after she told

them about her and Edward.

Grace didn’t quite believe this. After all, Rose was her daughter. She knew very well what Rose was up

to. The fact that someone who was glued to bed could wake up a half hour earlier said something.

However, Grace did not expose her. William and Grace looked at each other and seemed to be

communicating invisibly.

They understood a little.

This was the tacit understanding between husband and wife.
