Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 321

At 12:30 in the afternoon, the sun was scorching hot. The dazzling fireball hung high in the sky, emitting

heat that made one’s back burn. The dazzling light forced one to subconsciously lower his head.

The temperature of Earth rose slightly. They could still smell the cement smell of Earth being roasted

by the sun. In any

case, it was hot.

Frank’s tall figure stood on Ava’s side, blocking most of the heat for her. He raised the bag high above

her head with one hand to block the dazzling light.

“I’ll send you back to your dormitory, Frank suggested.

“What about you? Ava thought. “Was he going back? Back to the hotel?”

Meeting her expectant gaze, a certain part of Frank’s heart softened. “Tll wait in the car. I’ll accompany

you to class in the afternoon”

In just two seconds, Ava followed her heart. She knew that Frank could not stay in Sapphire City

forever. He might go back the day after tomorrow or tomorrow. She wanted to cherish their hard-earned

time together and did not want to waste it.

“I’m going to sleep in your car. Her eyes were firm, not taking no for an answer.

“Alright.” Frank lowered his head and looked at her for a few seconds before giving in.

He was still holding his bag to shield her from the sun. Soon, the two of them arrived at the side of a

Porsche car in the parking lot. He opened the door of the driver’s seat and the back seat. He started

the car and turned on the air conditioner. He spread a spare shirt on the back seat and reminded Ava,

who had just gotten in, “Don’t close the door yet. Let the heat. dissipate first.”

“Oh.” This was the first time she had taken Frank’s car since the last time they went to the island.

Previously, Rose was there, but now there were only the two of them.

The temperature dissipated for about five minutes before Frank closed the car door and rolled up the

window. Instantly, the tightly sealed car darkened, and not even a trace of scorching light could

penetrate.

Frank, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, turned sideways and looked at Ava, who was in the

backseat. “Sleep for a while.”

Ava was a little sleepy, but she wanted to sit in the front passenger seat and not so far away from him.

“I want to sit in the front.

She had always mentioned whatever she wanted. She didn’t want to pretend and say that it didn’t

matter or she didn’t want it. It was against her conscience.

Frank glanced at the front passenger seat. It was not suitable for sleeping. He opened the back seat

because he thought that there was more space for her to lie down

Since she liked the passenger seat, he could only arrange it. Frank directly put the passenger seat

down and adjusted it to a

comfortable size.

Without another word, he pushed the door open and got out of the car again. He opened the backseat

door and sent Ava to the front passenger seat while blocking the sun. After she got in, he gently closed

the door.

He walked around the front of the car and sat in the driver’s seat again. He leaned over and took a light

green blanket from the back seat and placed it on Ava’s knees.

“Cover it up and lie down to sleep for a while.”

Ava thought that if she slept, he would be bored alone. She lay on the chair and tilted her head to ask,

“What about you?”

“I’ll sleep with you for a while. I’ll sleep in the driver’s seat.” He originally wanted to say that he would

sleep with her, but he was afraid of scaring her, so he added this sentence at the end.

The enclosed space was filled with ambiguous elements. Ava’s attention was always attracted by the

man beside her. Her closed eyes would open from time to time as if he would disappear if she didn’t

look at him.

Frank closed his eyes to rest. The chair was put down at the same height. His hands were crossed in

front of his chest, and his handsome face slowly relaxed. His brows relaxed, and his handsome face

was like a fog. She could never guess what he would do next. It was mysterious and attractive.

She looked at the boy she liked lying so close to her. Although there was some distance between them,

they were breathing the same air. The deep affection that was buried in her chest instantly blurted out.

She did not want to look away, nor could she bear to look away.

“I’m not sleepy.” Frank was thoughtful. He didn’t open his eyes to expose Ava, who was staring at him

the whole time. Instead, he closed his eyes and said.

Upon hearing this, Ava lay back on the chair. Her head was still tilted, and her voice was soft. Tm

sleepy. Have a sweet dream.”

Ava’s sleep quality was very good. At first, Frank was by his side, so she was happy and couldn’t fall

asleep. Her thoughts ran wild, and she fell asleep thinking about it. After a while, a balanced breathing

sound came from the car

Frank opened his eyes the moment she fell asleep is pitch-black eyes were as deep as the sea. He

turned sideways in the direction of Ava Her beautiful sleeping face was like a sleeping beauty. She was

very quiet, obedient, and cute.

There was not a trace of worry on her face. He could not help but reach out his well-defined fingers and

carefully push a strand of hair on her forehead to the side. He retracted his hand and adjusted the

temperature of the air conditioner to the most comfortable degree

He quietly lay down and watched her sleep. Time passed peacefully, and the frozen lake was finally

melted by the warm sun. His phone rang at an inopportune time. He hung up as quickly as he could.

The call was from the manager of Lithern Club. He muted it, but the call was still assiduously coming in.

Frank guessed it was something important.

The manager couldn’t have developed the courage to disturb him like this. He did not get out of the car.

Instead, he pressed the answer button and lowered the volume of the voice beside him. He placed the

phone beside his ear and controlled his emotions impatiently. He lowered his voice and said, “Speak.”

The manager could clearly feel that his boss was in a bad mood, but he had no choice but to disturb

him. “Mr. Roberts, something happened at Lithern Club. Yesterday, a customer brought contraband to

our place and was unconscious. After a while, the police arrived and took him away. However, when he

woke up, he insisted that someone from our place sold it to him. The police requested to summon you

for investigation.”

The last few words were said with all his might by the manager. Frank had only left for a few days, but

something had happened. As the manager, he had reached the end of his career. Before Frank left.

Frank had repeatedly instructed him to pay attention to the problem in this aspect. In the end, such a

problem happened.

The person who was captured had just pushed the blame onto Lathern Club in the morning. This

forced Frank to hurry back. After all, he was the boss. He could not let William and the others replace

him.

The manager was feeling uneasy. He thought to himself that it was so awful and he had implicated his

boss. However. unexpectedly, Frank did not lose his temper. He even said in a low voice, “Okay, wait

for me.”

After hanging up the phone, Frank stared at Ava’s face, unwilling to leave. He thought to himself. Tm

afraid that I cant accompany you anymore”

An hour and a half later. Ava slowly woke up. She opened her sleepy eyes and said in a sleepy voice,

“You’re awake?”

“Yes, I just woke up. Frank lied. He watched her for as long as she slept. He only looked away when

she moved and pretended to have just woken up.

Ava pulled off the blanket. Her body was lazy and she had no strength at all. She had no choice but to

get up since she had a professor’s class in the afternoon. She crossed her hands in the air and moved

her waist left and right. After doing a few rounds, she finally woke up a little.

Frank’s phone rang again. This time, it was William. There was no urgency in his voice as if it was a

normal concern. “Are you back?”

Frank glanced at Ava and said calmly, “No”

William did not ask Frank if the matter was settled. He only said simply. “Hurry up and come back to

settle the matter. If this matter drags on, it’s easy to cause big trouble.”

“Yes, I know.”

When his son did things, William was relieved and would not interfere much. He didn’t say much and

hung up after saying a few simple words.

Ava vaguely felt that something was wrong with Frank. Her expression became much more serious.

“What’s wrong?”

This time, she didn’t call him Frank or Mr. Roberts.

“It’s fine. I’ll accompany you to class. Let’s go.”

Before Ava could say anything else, Frank had already gotten out of the driver’s seat and opened the

door of her passenger seat. There was no joy or worry on his face.

The two of them walked side by side, but Ava felt that something was changing. Ava couldn’t tell what it

was, but Frank’s aura was different. It seemed like he was suppressing some emotions.

For this class, Frank accompanied Ava seriously. It was usually 45 minutes. It was like a world. The

moment the bell rang. Frank’s eyes were dark and a complicated emotion flashed across them.

He picked up Ava’s bag and walked out of the classroom. The professor watched the two of them leave

the classroom one after another and muttered to himself, “It’s good to be young. They’re a good match.

When they arrived at the parking lot, Frank still didn’t tell Ava that he was leaving. The atmosphere had

obviously changed,

and Ava was uneasy.

When the car arrived at Turner Manor, Frank took a deep breath and controlled his emotions. He

opened the passenger seat and Ava got out of the car. He helped her adjust the brim of her hat and

said sadly, “Baby Ava.”

Everyone called her Little Princess or Ava. No one called her Baby Ava. He was the first.

She looked up at him with a puzzled expression, her hands clenched nervously into fists. “Yes?”

Frank, who had always been straightforward, could not find any words to say to this innocent and

harmless face. He took a deep breath and smiled. Ill return to Aihana later.”

Ava replied to Frank with silence. There was a long silence. The wind around her stopped. Tears slowly

blurred her vision and ran down her face disappointingly. She did not sob or make a sound. It was

silent. She did not want to cry. She could not control it.

Frank did not say anything. As he watched tears fall from her exquisite face, his chest felt suffocated.

He raised his hand and slowly wiped away her tears to stop those crystal-clear pearls from stringing

together. “I’ll come back to fight for points after

I’m done.”

Ava had only added 7 points to him today. It was not easy for him to reach 70 points. He was still far

from 99 points. He could not lose points.

Seeing that Ava didn’t answer and looked very sad, he knew that she still liked him in her heart, but he

didn’t expose her. “Do you want to deduct my points?”

She shook her head pitifully. She could no longer suppress the urge to hug him. She raised her fair

arms and tiptoed at the same time. She wrapped her arms around Frank’s neck and buried her head in

his neck. The wetness on Frank’s shoulders made his heart ache

Silently comforting her, he wrapped his arms around her waist and bent down slightly. He rubbed the

back of her head with one hand. The bodyguards beside him turned their backs to him, not daring to

look over.

A muffled voice came from his neck. “I don’t want 99 steps anymore.”

The expected surprise was also a sudden surprise. He thought that Ava would have to persist for a

long time, so he laughed. “We still have to take 99 steps. The score will continue. My Little Princess’s

plan can’t be messed up, and you can’t give up halfway, okay?”

Ava hugged him tightly like a child who could not bear to part with him. She nodded at his neck and

said. “Yes”

She did not ask when he would be back. Although she could not bear to part with him, Frank had his

own career and could not be a fatuous ruler forever. She knew this and knew her limits.

Suddenly, she slowly let go of Frank’s neck and moved back. Her hand was still hanging loosely by his

neck. Her tear-stained face met Frank’s eyes. After looking at him for a second, she tiptoed and kissed

Frank’s cheek.

It was Ava’s first time taking the initiative to kiss a boy. Her ears instantly turned red, and her face was

also red. She was very cute, and the warmth still lingered on Frank’s face. He stood motionless with a

smile on his lips.

Ava quickly retreated and said arrogantly. “Tve already stamped you. Even if you go to Athana, you are

still mine. You have

to be virtuous.

Frank was the one who said this in class. Ava remembered it.

“Even if you don’t stamp me, I’ll be virtuous” He had been virtuous and had never crossed the line.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ava received a satisfactory answer and threw herself into Frank’s firm

embrace. She let go of his neck and hugged his waist rightly. Frank hugged her as if she was a

treasure and pressed her into his arms. His hand comforted the back of Ava’s head. “Wait for me to

bring you to Athana.”

“Yeah

No one urged them. The two of them hugged each other for a long time. There was a time limit on

Frank, so he did not dare to stay any longer. The longer he stayed, the more reluctant he became. He

placed his hands on Ava’s shoulders and leaned down to kiss her forehead. “I’ll send you in

Then, he rubbed her soft and silky hair. She nodded and knew that this parting would take a long time.

The car drove into the manor. Time passed minute by minute. Ava held Frank’s right hand and

interlocked their fingers. However, the distance today was very short. It did not take long for them to

reach the courtyard.

Neither of them got out of the car. Frank took a red box out of the car. It was rectangular and opened.

A shiny golden bracelet came into view. Originally, Ava was depressed, but her eyes lit up. It wasn’t

because she was materialistic. Ava could have anything she wanted, but this bracelet was taken out by

Frank

Frank slowly took out the bracelet. He held the bracelet in one hand and raised Ava’s fair arm with the

other. Her skin was very fair, so fair that it reflected light. It was easy to leave a mark with a light touch.

This is a Gemini bracelet”

He carefully lowered his head and helped her put it on. After a while, the bracelet glowed around her

wrist.

It turned out that he still remembered that she

A simple bracelet wrapped around her like a rope

Frank looked at the light blue bracelet on Avas hand with satisfaction. It was not in vain that he had

spent so much effort to find at It was indeed very beautiful Go up I’ll come over after I’m done”

Frank’s heart ached as he raised his hand to stroke her hair again. He was also very reluctant to part

with her and stared at her for a long time

Ava mustered up the courage to kiss Frank’s face again. “Kiss goodbye”

She smiled and reassured Frank

Her initiative made him lose control. How was he going to make it because she still had to study at

university for a few

years)

Ava reluctantly opened the door and got out of the car. She looked back three times with every step.

When Frank opened the window, they were really like a couple who was unwilling to leave each other

When he could no longer see Ava, Frank started the car and left. The moment she got out of the car,

the air in the car became extremely cold. The temperature dropped to the freezing point, enough to

freeze the entire car
