Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 308

The car stopped in the manor’s parking space. Trevon unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car. He

opened the backseat door for Ava, acting like a gentleman.

Ava slowly got out of the car. After stepping out, she walked quickly towards the entrance of the villa.

After a few steps, Ava paused and asked Trevon, who seemed to be in an unusually good mood,

“Trevon, is Natalie in her room?”

Trevon pondered for a moment and replied, “Natalie should be awake. You can go and take a look”

As she entered the villa, she came face to face with Emma Emma was dressed in a deep green sheath

dress, wearing a pair of indoor shoes on her feet, and holding a toy in her hand. Inside the living room.

Jasper was munching on a cherry tomato with one hand and playing with a toy with the other. Jasper

was truly displaying the demeanor of a master.

Emma Turner’s hair was elegantly updoed, secured with a jade hairpin, exuding an air of grace and

prestige. When she saw the black hat atop Ava’s head. Emma’s eyes squinted slightly, yet she

refrained from saying anything. Instead, Ernma put on a tender smile, brimming with affection.

“Welcome back, Ava Did Trevon fetch you?”

Ava was in a hurry to find Natalie. Then, she quickly replied. “Yes, Mom.”

Trevon, who was following behind Ava, did not refute. He only smiled slightly and meaningfully. Then,

he politely addressed Emma and sat down on the sofa. Emma turned around and looked steadily in the

direction of the stairs. Emma shook her head helplessly and sat down on the sofa.

Trevon naturally noticed Emma’s concern. He casually picked up one of Jasper’s toys and handed it to

Jasper. Although Jasper was quite puzzled by Trevon’s behavior, he still accepted it without much

thought

“Emma, did Joseph tell you about Frank?

Emma handed the toy she was holding to Jasper. Jasper took it and in a sweet and childish tone said.

“Thank you, grandma,

dad.”

“Well. Trevon responded in a subdued tone.

Emma extended her hand and affectionately ruffled Jasper’s hair on top. Crossing her legs, she sat

gracefully, her hands. folded on her lap “Joseph told me this morning that Frank’s approach is quite

straightforward, and Frank doesn’t have any undesirable habits”

After Ava left in the morning. Joseph informed Emma about everything that happened last night. He

also shared the information he had gathered, including Frank Roberts’s character and personality.

After listening to it. Emma had a favorable impression. The details would still depend on Ava’s

thoughts. She repeatedly advised Joseph not to meddle in Ava’s relationship matters. Joseph could

protect Ava, but not intervene. All decisions should still be made by Ava herself.

Trevon didn’t lie to Emma. He spoke truthfully. “Frank is reserved, but he’s good in all other aspects,

especially when it comes to relationships. Frank maintains a clean approach and always adheres to his

principles. Emma, you can be reassured about this. I’ve spent many years with him, and I can vouch

for his character.”

Frank wasn’t someone who acts recklessly. Otherwise, their years of relationship wouldn’t be as pure

as a blank sheet of paper.

Just Lithern Club’s leading lady had admired Frank Roberts for years, yet he never allowed her to get

close. Aside from their professional relationship as superior and subordinate, there was nothing else.

Just as Frank said, she’s here to recruit the headliner, not to be the headliner.

Emma nodded after listening. She was also satisfied with the present Trevon, as he treated Natalie

well. Their primary concern was Natalie’s happiness. Material matters were of little importance to them.

Upstairs, Ava pushed open the door to the room and found that Natalie was no longer on the bed.

Ava’s gaze swept around, and the sound of rushing water echoed from the bathroom

Following the sound, Ava walked toward the bathroom and called out sweetly. “Natalie, you’re awake.”

Natalie’s mouth was still filled with toothpaste and foam. She removed her toothbrush and asked

unclearly. “You’re back.” Ava had mentioned to Natalie last night that Ava had classes in the morning.

So, she should be back from class by now.

Natalie’s sleepwear was a dress with a slightly low neckline, revealing the faint marks on her fair skin.

Ava felt a bit embarrassed even looking at it. She glanced at the doorway and asked playfully, “Natalie,

it looks like those hickeys on you are having a hard time staying put.”

After saying this, Ava playfully pointed at Natalie’s chest and neck with her fingers, indicating that there

were quite a few of them

Natalie squinted her attractive eyes, her face stiffening. She turned to look at her reflection in the

mirror, giving herself a one-second glance. Inside, Natalie cursed Trevon countless times, closed her

eyes tightly and took a deep breath.–

Initially. Natalie had intended to find a reason to help Ava forget about this awkward moment. However,

as Natalie turned around, she saw the black baseball cap atop Ava’s head. Natalie raised her hand and

gestured toward the cap, asking, “Did Frank Roberts come to see you?”

Natalie did not notice it just now. Now, he finally noticed that it was clearly a boy’s hat.

Natalie quickly added. “Or it belongs to your good friend?”

After pondering for a moment, it made sense that Alex would wear this hat. Nothing about him was

girlish, let alone a pink hat

Ava finally realized that she still had Frank’s hat on her head. Ava’s cheeks turned slightly red as she

delightedly and shyly took off the hat, murmuring. “Frank’s”

Natalie had finished brushing her teeth and rinsed her mouth. She wiped her mouth with a towel and

came out of the bathroom without any makeup. Ava moved to the side to make space, following

Natalie.

Natalie understood, “Did he bring you back and then leave without entering the manor!”

There was a slight trace of disappointment in Ava’s voice. “Yes, Frank told Trevon that he will come

next time.”

“But you still want Frank to come, right? Didn’t you say you wanted him to pursue you in doubled time?

And now you’re having second thoughts?” Natalie asked, firing off a series of questions as she

searched for clothes in the closet that Emma had prepared.

Ava sat on the edge of Natalie’s bed, toying with Frank’s hat in her hands. Ava unbuttoned it and

fastened it back, her gaze drifting up to Natalie. Ava’s eyes shimmered, and she began to speak in a

gentle tone. “Natalie, I really lack self-control. You know, today he came to school to accompany me to

class. I lost my composure and almost couldn’t resist agreeing to him.”

“Why does he perfectly match my aesthetic preferences? He’s just so handsome, you know…”

Ava continued to chatter on, wanting to share with Natalie the details of what happened between Frank

and that infatuated girl.

Natalie turned around abruptly, her face showing astonishment. She interrupted Ava’s rambling and

exclaimed, “What did you say… Frank went to your university to accompany you to class?”

This time, Natalie stopped looking for clothes and sat directly beside Ava Natalie had initially assumed

that Frank was just going to pick Ava up at the entrance, but to think he actually accompanied her to

class. Was he that efficient?

Thinking about Damon, this platform belonged to Frank. The efficiency was also extremely high. With

such a comparison, it didn’t seem strange for Frank to be so efficient.

Damon, making Natalie slightly suspicious. Didn’t wait for Ava to answer her previous question, Natalie

asked again. “Ava, what’s the online username of the guy who taught you about computers?”

Ava answered without any hesitation, “Damon”

This name was so familiar. She’d been seeing it every day recently. It was already imprinted in her

mind. She didn’t even need to think to answer.

Natalie was speechless.

If she had to give Frank Roberts a nickname, “Big Bad Wolf” seems to be quite suitable.

However, it was obvious that a big bad wolf could not describe his actions at all.

“The big bad wolf” and “the scheming man” were all very fitting

Ava was like a little white rabbit, willingly walking into the tiger’s den and seeming quite content about

it.

Ava was curious about Natalie’s reaction. In addition to being surprised, Natalie also seemed

astonished “Natalie, do you know him?”

“I might not personally know him, but this platform was created by Trevon and Frank. As for Damon, I

believe Trevon is acquainted with him. Just give me a moment.”

Natalie confidently affirmed her analysis results.

This time, it was Ava’s turn to be surprised. Her voice suddenly rose. “Damon is Frank’s man?”

The level of surprise didn’t skyrocket because the connection between Damon and Ava was

established through Rose Roberts. Natalie had already swiftly analyzed this in her mind. Considering

that Rose is Frank’s sister, it’s quite reasonable for them to know each other, and that explanation

makes sense.

So she wasn’t very surprised.

Natalie nodded as she took out her phone and sent a message to Trevon. [Are you downstairs?]

Trevon quickly replied, [Yes, are you awake?]

Natalie got straight to the point. [Come upstairs for a moment. I need to talk to you about something.]

Trevon replied obediently. [Sure, honey 1

Not long after, Trevon strode into the room. With one hand casually in his pocket, he strolled in and

nonchalantly asked. “Honey, what can I do for you?”

“Ahem, ahem, ahem. Let me ask you something. Isn’t there a person named Damon on the platform

you and Frank are involved in? Do you know him? Who is he?”

Natalie asked directly.

Trevon glanced at Natalie and then at Ava, meeting their expectant gazes. Trevon felt somewhat

awkward and lowered has eyelids as he pondered.

Trevon couldn’t keep it a secret anymore today. If he lied, he might end up being scolded by Natalie.

The plan they had, discussed about having a second child couldn’t be compromised. Trevon thought

about the consequences.

After carefully considering the pros and cons. Trevon, with one hand in his pocket and the other gently

touching his nose. leaned against the door. After a moment. Trevon looked up, meeting the two pairs of

hopeful eyes Succumbing to the situation, he revealed. “Well.. Damon is actually Frank Roberts”

“What?”

Natalie and Ava were both left in shock, their mouths agape and their expressions frozen. For a

moment, they couldn’t seem to grasp the reality of the words they had just heard.

Silence hung in the air, a brief yet profound stillness that enveloped the room. For that moment, no one

uttered a word.

The tension in the air even made Trevon, who was typically composed, feel uneasy. Trevon attempted

to break the silence. saying. “Frank might have wanted to do a good deed without seeking recognition.

You can ask Rose, she might have a better understanding of the situation”

Trevon passed the buck to Rose.

“Exactly. I had no idea about this. It had nothing to do with me,” said Trevon. Trevon signaled with his

eyes to show Natalie

his innocence.

Trevon’s statement was directed at Ava. The extent of Ava’s surprise indicated that it wasn’t Frank who

approached her on his own, which meant someone else introduced them. Upon further thought, it was

undoubtedly Rose Roberts.

However, Trevon was unaware that he had misinterpreted the situation. Frank had actually volunteered

for this operation. using Rose’s name as a cover.

Natalie snapped out of it and bumped Ava’s shoulder, who was still in a daze. “Yeah, ask her. Rose

might know the reason.”

Whether this was a carefully planned move, love at first sight, or a delayed realization, only Frank

Roberts himself probably knew.
