Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 417 They walked out of the teaching building.

Frank was still holding Ava’s shoulder while all Ava was thinking was how Frank had been jealous. Her heart felt warm, and her mouth curved into a radiant smile.

Ava whirled around and moved Frank's hand away from her shoulder. She walked backward, facing Frank and holding his hand.

She tilted her head and fixed her eyes on Frank. Frank was puzzled by her gaze.

“What's wrong?” Because they were holding hands, the diamond rings on their hands clanked.

Ava kept smiling. Frank could tell that she was in a great mood. She still walked backward and shook Frank's hand, asking.

“Frank, were you jealous just now?” Now Frank understood why she was so delighted.

“Yeah,” Frank replied. Ava was Frank's fiancée, Neal fantasized about Ava in front of Frank. Wasn't Neal trying to cuckold him? How could Frank bear it? Now, Frank somewhat understood Trevon.

Ava had learned a new skill. She knew how to interpret Frank's words. She could dig out the meaning even when Frank said only one word. After analyzing Frank's previous brief answer. Ava smiled even more cheerily Seeing Ava’s smile had deepened, and she was still walking backward, Frank had to remind her, “Watch your steps.” Ava turned around to hold Frank's arm and snuggled up to him. “Okay.” Frank tidied up her hair and asked, “What do you want to eat?” Ava still had a class in the afternoon, so they could not leave too far from the school.

“I want to eat steak. What do you think?” Frank would agree with whatever Ava wanted to eat. “Okay. Anything you like.” www Before Frank came, Ava had been eating with Alex every day. Now, she abandoned Alex. Out of apology for dropping her friends because she was in a relationship, Ava took out her phone and lowered her head to text Alex. She muttered, Tl text Alex and ask if she wants to eat anything. Let's bring it back for her.” “Sure,” said Frank. He did not object. Alex was quite good to Avi, and he knew Alex was a true friend to Ava.

Ava sent a message to Alex. [Alex. I'm gonna have steaks with Frank. Do you want to eat anything? Steak, pizza, or French fries...?] Alex replied very quickly. She was probably playing with her phone. Recently, Alex had been addicted to a mobile game and spent so much time on it. She said. [No, | don't want anything. Don’t worry about me. Tm going to have spaghetti at the school cafeteria. | haven't eaten it in a long time. | miss it. Enjoy yourself] Ava replied, [That's fine. We'll bring the food back for you after we're done eating. Whatever you want. Anything.] Alex said. [Little Princess. Can you let me have a plate of spaghetti from the school cafeteria?| Ava finally understood that Alex was determined not to disturb them. She texted, [Fine. If you want something, text me.] Alex replied, Thanks. Now, go on with your date.] Seeing Ava putting up her cheeks, Frank guessed Alex must have rejected her. He asked, “She doesn’t want us to bring her something?” “Right. She said she would have spaghetti at the school cafeteria.” Meanwhile, at Athana Hospital, Sherri was thrilled. She was in high spirits today and could not wait to share her joy before getting off work.

-Her original plan for today was to go to her parent's house for dinner and tell Juana that her brother was dating Rose. Sherri was impatient and eager to share the happy event.

It was already unprecedented for her to keep the thing to herself all day. Even Sherri admired her self-control.

She had just gotten off work and had yet to take off her white coat when she was already on the phone with Juana. Her tone was filled with excitement. “Mom, it's true, It's Dr. Roberts. She's the one you said you wished that she could be your daughter-in-law last time. She's the doctor who came to our house to treat Ruby.” Sherri was afraid that Juana did not understand which girl she was talking about, so she bombarded Juana with things related to Rose.

Juana finally seemed to recall which girl it was. She was stunned and remained silent for a while. Sherri did not even hear Juana's breathing over the phone.

Sherri thought that her mother had fainted from excitement, so she took the phone away from her ear and looked at it Just as she was about to ask if Juana was still there, a voice came from the other end of the phone. “Sherri, you can’t joke about this matter. You're not going crazy because you're too desire of a sister-in-law, are you?” Sherri was speechless at her mother. When her brother did not have a girlfriend, Juana nagged about it with concern. Now that he had one, Juana did not believe it. “Mom, 1 think you're suffering from conflict syndrome. When my brother was single, you and my mother-in-law talked on the phone and even pictured him to have so many kids. Now that he’s dating. you won't believe it. You can ask him yourself if you don’t believe my words.

Juana said. “Alright, I'll ask him when he’s here. I'll call your brother and ask him to come and have dinner tonight. So do you Tve planned to be there. I've got to go. Hackett is waiting for me After hanging up the phone, Sherri was elated. She even walked a lot more lightly. Her petty figure swayed in joy. The nurse at the reception was infected as well. She smiled and asked, “Dr. Landor, why are you so happy? Finding money on the ground?” Natalie happened to walk to the reception. She put her arm around Sherri’s shoulder and asked, “Why are you grinning? Where's Rose?” Sherri answered, “A sick child came one minute before work ended. She told us not to wait for her.” Sherri, who had just said that llackett was waiting for her and was in a hurry to leave, was now taking her time. She leaned against the reception desk and shared the good news with the others. “Something even better than finding money. I'll have a sister-in-law soon. Isn't that amazing?” The nurse did not know what to say.

Natalie thought, “Seems like she will keep selling the news for quite a while.” “We should go. See you tomorrow” Natalie and Sherri waved the nurse goodbye.

The two reached the gate and saw two men standing outside. One was in a suit and leather shoes, and the other was in a pink casual shirt. They were very eye-catching.

Seeing them come out, the two men quickly walked toward them. Trevon looked at Hackett's clothes in disdain and said, “Why are you always dressing so fancily?” Hackett wanted to retort that Trevon always dressed like he was about to attend a funeral.

However, he only thought so and said something else. “Bite me. Life needs color. You won't understand that. What do you think, Natalie?” Natalie could only smile. She looked at Hackett’s pink shirt and did not know what to say. She did not like a man wearing pink because she felt weird, but that was none of her business but Sherri’s. “You look great. Trevon was joking with you.

Don’t mind him.” Trevon saw the perfunctory look in his wife’s eyes. He curled his lips into a smile and exposed her. “My wife didn’t want you to feel embarrassed. Alright. We're leaving.” Natalie rolled her eyes.

She looked up and glared at Trevon, seeming to warn him not to put her on the spot.

Trevon leaned close to Natalie's ear and whispered, “We have the same mind, don’t we? | know you so well!™ Natalie was speechless again, thinking, “Fine, thanks, my dear husband.” Sherri thought that Hackett was dressed well. She did not like her brother and Trevon’s unchanging dressing style. She had seen them in suits too many times. Sherri suggested with a smile, “Trevon, you need more colors in life. Colors can help to cheer you up. Why don’t you try changing? Bye-bye, Natalie. We should go.” “Okay, bye,” Watching Sherri and Hackett leave, Trevon took Natalie by the waist and helped her into the car. He fastened the seatbelt for her.

When he sat in the driver's seat, he casually asked, “Is Sherri also pregnant with twins?” Natalie laughed and patted Trevon’s arm. “What are you thinking? She’s three months pregnant, and the baby won't change.

“She’s happy because Rose is dating Edward. They have been dating for a few days. This morning. Sherri and Hackett happened to see them dating. Sherri is overjoyed and prepared to go home to share this joy with her mom.” Trevon drove steadily and smiled faintly. “Well, that's fast. It's most likely Rose who asked Edward out first.” The nickname Ninja Landor was not given for nothing. Trevon believed that Rose must be the one who confessed her feelings for Edward and asked him out.

Natalie thought that Trevon had forgotten the pain in the past. She reminded him kindly, “Did you forget why Frank beat you up? Trevon teased Frank. This is not something that Frank can control. All he can think of now is only Ava. What else do you expect him to do?" Natalie replied to him with silence.

Trevon was satisfied with Edward's relationship with Rose and then changed the topic. “Honey, where do you want to take our son for Children’s Day?” “To the Ocean Park. How about that?” Trevon looked at her affectionately and said. “You're in charge of our family. We'll all listen to you.” Natalie smiled as she looked at the scenery outside the window. Happiness flashed across her eyes.

Sherri and Hackett arrived at Juana’s house.

Hackett, Sherri, and Sherri’s parents were in the living room and sat on the sofa. There was only one armchair left for Edward.

Ruby had learned the word “auntie.” As she played, she kept mumbling, Auntie. Auntie. Auntie Rose...” Hackett facepalmed, feeling sorry for his brother-in-law. The entire family seemed to gather together for an interrogation of Edward.

It was a nightmare when a single man’s family suddenly knew he was in love.

Hackett could only wish Edward good luck.

He wanted to see how Edward would deal with this. Hackett was there to watch the show but felt it was unfair that Frank did not beat Edward up. Why was he the only one who got hurt? About 35 minutes later, Edward walked in with a coat in his hand. He wanted to pick Rose up for dinner, but Juana insisted he go home, saying there was something significant to discuss at home.

Edward could only text Rose, telling her he could not pick her up. Rose knew Tom was already waiting at the entrance of the hospital. Even if Edward sent her home, Tom would follow them. Her family did not know about her relationship with Edward, and she had to go home for dinner, so she was okay with Edward standing her up.

Edward walked into the living room and was surprised to see all the family members. Everyone stared fixedly at him as if they wanted to dismantle and study him. Their gazes were a little terrifying Edward was bewildered. He could not figure out what happened until he heard Ruby murmuring, “Auntie Rose.” Only then did Edward come to a realization. Without a doubt, the instigator of this gathering was Sherri. Looking at Juana’s sparkling eyes, he sighed. He understood why Juana urged him to go back for dinner.

He walked unhurriedly to the armchair and placed his coat behind him. He adjusted his glasses and crossed his hands on his knees before he said, “Go ahead. Ask whatever you want to ask.” Edward was prepared to face the family hearing and had a great attitude.

Ruby felt her pronunciation was already standard. No one had taught Ruby the phrase, but she learned from the adults’ conversation. “Auntie Rose,” she repeated.

Edward carried Ruby on his lap and tidied the little fellow’s hair. “Do you like Auntie Rose?” Ruby nodded. “Yes, yes. Auntie Rose.” Edward smiled and pinched Ruby’s face softly and dotingly.

Juana was pleased and satisfied with how Ruby addressed Rose. She asked her son with a smile, “Son, why did you keep this a secret and not tell us? How long have you been dating Dr. Roberts? Did you discuss when you're getting married?” Juana wished her son to marry Rose as quickly as they could. It would be best if they held the wedding tomorrow. Juana was so excited, and her blood pressure soared.

Edward pinched the spot in between his eyebrows and hugged his niece with one hand. Facing Juana’s excited face and expectant gaze, he felt even more helpless. He turned to Hackett, whose face was filled with amusement. “Mom, we've only been dating for a few days. Your attitude like this will scare Rose away and get me to be single again.” Edward was worried about his entire family’s reaction. What if Juana suddenly went to the hospital to see Rose? It would make things difficult for him if Rose did not like that.

His relationship with Rose was like setting up a tent in the field, which was not fixed to the ground. The slightest movement could easily break it.

Juana waved her hand. “But you're together now, aren't you? You are serious about each other, right?” Hackett reminded her with a half smile. He looked at Edward smugly. “Juana, what if their relationship doesn’t end well? They need more time to be together, just like Sherri and L. We're now the most stable couple in the world. Right, Edward?” Edward thought he should have beaten Hackett up harder in the past.

However, this annoying and gloating person was right. Edward's relationship with Rose was unstable now. There were many unknowns, so they could not afford any accidents. “Mom, don’t listen to Sherri’s nonsense. She’s always exaggerated. Now is not the right time. If | can take her home, | will. Just be patient. One more thing. You can't go to the hospital to see her.

Richard was only there be a makeweight. He had no intention of participating in such an interrogation. He was one of the family, so he ought to be there. He knew his place and did not mean to interfere with his son’s relationship.

Edward’s words upset Sherri unhappy. “Edward, how could you say that? No matter what, I'm your matchmaker, and you won't form a romantic relationship with Rose without me. You shouldn't be so ungrateful to me. | didn’t say anything. improper to Mom.

| only told her that you're dating Rose. Am | right, Mom?” Juana nodded agreeingly and replied, “Sherri is right. It's rare for your sister to do such a nice thing. You need to thank her. Also, she said you are planning to get married soon. Is that true?” Edward knew that Sherri could not deliver the news the way it was. She would always embellish the story.

“Why didn’t you tell the others that you almost caused a misunderstanding between Rose and me?” Hearing Edward's words, everyone's gaze turned to Sherri. “What happened? Aren't you the matchmaker of them?” Edward smiled while he pinched Ruby’s face again. “Sherri’s quite capable. She knows how to play our matchmaker and also break us up.

Sherri nearly ruined his relationship with Rose. She even said he had a girlfriend in front of Rose. How could Edward be grateful to her? Speaking of this, Sherri was quite awkward. She had indeed almost ruined Edward's love life. Sherri covered up her embarrassment and cleared her throat. “Well. You can’t blame me. Didn't you say that you had someone you liked? It was not my fault. | had tried to match-make you with Rose back then, but you had shown no interest in her. | thought the two of you wouldn't work. Rose is my friend, so | have to explain to her.” Sherri tried to defend herself. It was indeed merely her guess that Edward had feelings for someone else, but what Edward. had done was quite misleading.

Edward did not want to waste his time arguing with Sherri. He did not say that, but he could not explain it explicitly now. “Alright.

Don’t worry about it. | know what I'm doing. I'll bring her home and officially introduce her to you when it’s the right time.” Juana did not dare to push Edward too hard. Her son was already 30 years old. Today, she mainly wanted to confirm his relationship with Rose. Now, Juana was relieved.

She reminded Edward carefully, “Edward, | like Dr. Roberts. Promise me you'll be good to her.” After confirming this matter, Juana decided to ask Joy about the Roberts family and see if there was anything she could help Edward with.
