Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 292

In the Wilson’s residence, around the dining table, Jasper sat between Rachel and Caleb, and Theo sat

at the head of the table.

Rachel picked out the fish bones patiently for Jasper. As for why Natalie did not propose that she would

do it, it was because Rachel would definitely say that there was no need.

Since she would get the same answer whether she asked the question, Natalie decided to keep silent.

Jasper was eating happily. In the past few days, his small face had become rounder and more chubby.

He blinked his eyes and winked at Natalie. It was unknown who he had learned it from, and he seemed

to enjoy it a lot.

Natalie’s lips curled up. She looked at Jasper for a long time before retracting her gaze. From the

corner of her eye, she saw Theo picking up another piece of pork rib, which was the fifth piece he had

eaten this evening. Natalie reminded him in time, “Grandpa, one last piece. Be careful of your

cholesterol and cerebrovascular vessels.”

“Upon hearing that, Theo placed the meat on his empty plate. He smiled lovingly and said, “I have no

choice. There’s a professional doctor at home, and I have to follow her orders. I’m not eating meat

anymore. Im eating some vegetables.***

Rachel peeled another prawn for Jasper and said softly, “Father, you have to pay attention to your

health. You’ve been gluttonous recently.”

In the past, it was Rachel who took care of Theo’s three meals on behalf of his deceased wife. Now,

Natalie also joined her. Theo said. “Alright. I have to keep healthy to welcome the birth of my great-

granddaughter.”

Natalie understood what he meant and did not avoid the topic. She smiled and exposed Theo’s true

intention. “Grandpa, are you urging me to have a second child?”

Theo laughed out loud, and the wrinkles on his face gathered together. He was even more

straightforward now that he was exposed “Natalie, if I do, will you agree? I’m so old. I don’t know how

long I can live. If I can see my great-granddaughter before I die, I’ll be satisfied. I can explain it to your

grandmother when I go to heaven.

“If I couldn’t explain it to her clearly, no one would know how she would scold me.”

Theo recalled the scene of his wife scolding him.

Natalie looked at Theo’s smile and felt sad in her heart. She put on a faint smile and joked, “Grandpa, I

can’t guarantee that my second child will be a girl”

Trevon’s hand that was holding the fork paused. He turned his head to look at Natalie with a surprised

and complicated expression.

Hearing that Natalie agreed. Theo couldn’t stop smiling. “It’s fine. As long as you give birth to it. I won’t

care about its gender. Jasper, do you want to be an older brother?”

Jasper looked up, his small mouth stained with food. “Yes! Of course!”

He winked at Natalie with one eye, as if he was saying “It’s up to you.”

Jasper looked so cute that Natalie could not help but smile.

Even the servants in the dining room began smiling. Rachel and Caleb were no exception.

During the meal, Trevon put down his tableware and pinched the back of Natalie’s neck. He said in

front of Rachel, Caleb, and Theo, I plan to go to Sapphire City to propose tomorrow.”

Although he and Natalie had registered their marriage and had a child, he had no intention of missing

the proposal. The Turner family was now Natalie’s family, and it was only right for him to visit them.

After eating. Caleb put down his tableware and made a decision. “Your mother and I will go with you.

Let Jim deal with the affairs in the company for a day.”

Natalie was stunned. She had never thought that Caleb would go to Sapphire City with Trevon.

Although she had called Caleb “father” these few days, she did not expect his decision.

She knew that it was for her sake and that Caleb valued her family.

Rachel agreed. She opened a pack of wet wipes to clean Jasper’s mouth and hands. “Jasper, go have

fun by yourself for a while. I will go and join you later. Mary, keep an eye on Jasper.”

Jasper got down from the chair and jumped straight into the toy area. He began enjoying himself as if

the conversation among adults had nothing to do with him.

After instructing Mary, Rachel continued, “As Trevon’s parents, Caleb and I should visit Natalie’s family

and talk about the marriage. It is necessary etiquette. Let’s take a private plane tomorrow and bring

Jasper along”

Trevon did not object “Okay.”

Caleb reminded. “Is the betrothal gift ready? What can I help you with? What about the shares of the

Wilson Group?”

Caleb’s words frightened Natalie. Did all wealthy families nowadays propose marriage with shares?

She quickly rejected, “Dad, there’s no need”

Before Trevon could say something, Theo chimed in. “Draft an agreement later. Natalie can take 20%

of the shares of the Wilson Group. Trevon, what else have you prepared?

Trevon took a sip of water and replied unhurriedly. “All the shares of Grand Manor, as well as Lithern

Club. A cruise ship and an island”

Theo nodded in satisfaction and asked, “How about jewelry and cars? Didn’t you prepare?”

Trevon was a little speechless. “I don’t plan to make a list on the dining table. If you want to see it, I’ll

organize one for you to take a look at later. There are a total of 168 sets of things”

*168 sets of things? What are they?” Natalie thought in surprise. She felt that she had become a rich

woman after having

dinner.

She didn’t know what she could say for a moment.

Theo looked at Trevon in satisfaction and nodded. “Not bad. “The number of gifts is so pleasing to the

eye. You finally make some progress. You’re worth teaching”

Trevon could say nothing. Sure enough, Theo would not miss a single chance to mock Trevon.

Otherwise, he would not be Trevon’s biological grandfather.

Caleb did not oppose Theo’s decision and immediately maile the decision. “Then it’s settled. We’ll go to

Sapphire City tomorrow morning”

Everyone had decided. If Natalie stood out and objected, she would seem a little ungrateful and might

destroy the harmonious atmosphere. So, she only thanked them politely. “Thank you, Dad, Mom Thank

you, Grandpa.”

Rachel said. “Go back and tidy up your luggage after dinner. Do you want to stay here or at Evergreen

Gardens tonight?”

Trevon looked sidleways at Natalie. Obviously, he was waiting for Natalie’s answer. They looked at

each other for a few seconds, and Natalie had her idea. “Mom, we’ll go to Evergreen Gardens to get

our things. Then, we’ll return and spend the night here”

Rachel’s reply was still concise. “Okay”

In the Roberts’ residence, the door of Rose’s room was wide open. Music was playing on the phone,

and it was the latest pop song. She hummed along to the rhythm, and she was in a good mood.

The song was played one by one in sequence. After Light Chaser, another song “We’re Different” was

played, followed by

“Little Birdie”…

One after another, Rose could hum every song entirely and follow every beat accurately.

She squatted on the ground and sorted out her luggage.

Frank leaned against the door frame with his hands in his pockets, looking leisurely. He had listened to

Rose’s wanton singing for a while and felt it ear-piercing. He had no choice but to say, “Do you want

me to resign the lead singer from Lithern Club and let you take his place?”

Frank’s sudden voice startled Rose. She covered her chest and glared at him. ‘Are you a ghost? Can’t

you make a sound when you walk over? You almost scared me to death.”

Frank ignored her exaggerated acting skills and said, “You’ve only been working for a few days. What

are you planning to do now? Cleanse your soul again?”

The music was still playing. Rose thought, “He is indeed forgetful and stubborn. No wonder he is

single. He even secretly used my phone to introduce a big shot to Ava, although I did not know who the

big shot was.”

“I’ll go to Sapphire City tomorrow. Trevon will go propose marriage, Hackett will spend his honeymoon

with Sherri, and I will cheer Ava on and give her a surprise. Do you want to go with us?”

Rose asked Frank tentatively

Frank leaned against the door frame and was stunned for a moment. He said coldly. “I don’t.”

Rose stared into Frank’s eyes, trying to find out if he was lying.

A moment later, Frank said, “What was the condition you mentioned last time?”

“Huh? What condition? Rose was puzzled.

“The condition you mentioned when I borrowed your phone,” Frank reminded her.

Rose slapped her forehead and suddenly had an idea. She thought she could not allow Frank to

continue disguising himself. She should make a move to save him. “Frank, you asked me for it. No

matter what condition I raise, you have to agree. You can’t go back on your word. If you do, you’re not

a real man.”

Frank looked at the scheming Rose, and his mind was full of schemes. “Tell me. What is it?”

Rose turned around and jogged to the bed to turn off the music on her phone. Then, she walked back

and said, “Come with me to Sapphire City to protect me “

After a long silence, Frank still didn’t say anything

Rose was anxious “Can you say something? You are not mute after all. Give me a direct answer right

now”

“Alright”

Rose was shocked and in disbelief. She thought that she would need more time to persuade Frank, but

he agree so quickly. Why? For no reason, Rose felt something was wrong. “Really? You didn’t wait for

me to raise the condition on purpose, did

you

Rose began to doubt herself.

There was no change in Frank’s expression. He said indifferently, “Can it be harder to serve you? I

think you will just die alone”

Rose snorted. “Hmph! You’re also single, okay? There is no difference between you and me”

Frank retorted. “Don’t flatter yourself. I don’t have time to argue with you. I’m going to talk to Grace”

Rose was curious. “What are you going to talk about with Grace? Tell ine”

Frank’s tone remained indifferent. “I can’t count on you.”

Rose wondered, “You can’t count on me? What the hell it is?

Frank left Rose’s room and went straight to Grace’s study. He knocked on the door and entered after

hearing Grace’s permission.

Grace was reading a document. Although she was wearing pajamas, she still exuded the overbearing

aura of an able woman.

Frank put one hand in his pocket and touched the back of his neck with the other. He said to Grace, “I

want the secret defense map in Athana and relevant information Half of them is enough”

Grace put down the documents in her hand and took off her glasses. She narrowed her eyes and

repeated what she had said before. “I told you I want a reason.”

Half an hour later, Frank went out of Grace’s study with a file in his hand. When he returned to his

room, he called Trevon, and Trevon quickly picked up the phone.

On the other end of the line, Trevon sounded busy. Frank teased, “Are you doing sports?”

As a man. Trevon certainly understood the implied meaning in Frank’s words. “Im just tidying my

things. Stop talking

nonsense.”

Frank chuckled. “Can you do me a favor?”

Trevon glanced at Natalie, who was sorting out the things in the suitcase. He walked to the window and

asked, “What is it?”

Frank said, “Bring me to Joseph I have something to discuss with him”

Trevon instantly saw through Frank’s plan. He teased, “Are you not going to pretend anymore? I

thought you planned to always be a role model and do good deeds without leaving your naine.”

Frank heard the ridicule. “You’re bored, right? I’ve helped you investigate so many things. It’s time for

you to return the favor”

Trevon said those words on purpose, yet he would still help Frank. “Your method of visiting the enemy

in person is a little risky. Alright. Wait for me at the airport tomorrow.”

Hearing that, Frank hung up the phone directly.

After that, he went out again. Rose heard the sound of the car starting outside and felt strange. Frank

seemed to be busy and mysterious tonight. She called him and asked, “Where are you going?”

Frank did not answer Rose’s question “What’s the matter?”

Rose didn’t understand why Ava would fall for Frank. After all, he was so bad-tempered. I’m just

concerned about you.”

Frank replied. “I have something on. I’ll come back late. What do you want for supper?“

At the mention of supper, Rose’s mood instantly improved, and she no longer cared about Frank’s bad

temper. “You are just so good. I want to eat barbecue and tacos”

Frank broke her fantasy directly. “No. If you don’t want to have diarrhea on the plane tomorrow, eat

something healthy.”

Rose was still thinking about it when Frank made the decision for her. “Pizza. Milk or milkshake!”

Rose thought that pizza was not bad. “Milkshake

Frank hung up the phone after that
