Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 433

A few hours later. Frank’s flight successfully landed at Athana’s airport.

Athana’s weather was very good. The sky was clear, and the white clouds in the sky were like cotton.

They looked soft, reminding him of Ava’s personality. He had just reached Athana and was already

missing her a little.

The Turner family’s bodyguards wanted to follow Frank down the plane, but they were stopped by him.

“Thank you. Do you want to go to the hotel to rest? There’s no need to send me back home.”

The bodyguards stood up in unison. “Mr. Roberts, this is our duty. Mr. Turner has instructed us to send

you home. This is

our mission.”

The bodyguards‘ stubbornness made Frank very exasperated. He had experienced loyalty from Pat

before, and now he was experiencing it again. “Thank you.”

The bodyguards said, “Mr. Roberts, you’re too kind. It’s our duty.”

Exasperated, Frank shook his head again. He didn’t even have a new word to describe this. He could

only ask the bodyguards to send him back to the Roberts family. When they sent Frank back, he took

out a few cigarettes from the car and gave them to the bodyguards.

They accepted the cigarettes from Frank.

As soon as Frank stepped into the living room, the phone in his back pocket rang. He put down his

suitcase, took out his phone, and hung up. The call was from Hackett.



After hanging up the phone, he stood in the living room and sent a message to Ava. [Baby Ava, I’m

back in Athana. Don’t cry. I’ll pick you up when Hackett gets married. Before that time, I can also pick

you up when you want to come to Athana, or I’ll go look for you.]

The message was not immediately replied. Frank guessed that Ava was probably still sleeping

because she was too tired last night.

He casually pushed her luggage in and walked straight to the sofa. He was indeed a little tired after

sitting on the plane for so long, coupled with the fact that he had expended a lot of energy the entire

night.

Frank yawned and instructed the servant, “Give me a cup of coffee.”

The servant said respectfully, “Yes, Mr. Roberts.”

When the servant brought the coffee over, Frank asked again, “Did William and Grace go to the

company?”

The servant stood upright. “Yes, Mr. Roberts.”

Frank waved his hand to indicate that there was nothing else. Then, he took a sip of coffee and lay on

the couch. He dialed the number that had just been hung up and said impatiently, “Speak.”

On the other end of the call, Hackett was in a good mood. “You’re up. The scenery of Sapphire City is

indeed more beautiful than Athana. It can even make you wake up early. Actually, I’m just trying to see

if I can get through”

Unexpectedly, Hackett’s call was returned after he had been hung up. When he fell in love, Frank’s

temper improved a lot. Frank rubbed his temples impatiently. For a moment, he regretted returning this

guy’s call. “Are you bored?”

Hackett smiled obsequiously and quickly explained, “How can that be? I just wanted to ask when my

best man–to–be would be back.

A word spilled out from Frank’s lips. “Athana.”

“Fuck. When did you fucking come back? It’s only past eight o’clock. You didn’t look for us when you

came back last night. You’ve really thrown us out of the window since you have your Little Princess.

You’re too biased”

He had no idea that Frank had returned in the morning and continued harping on it. He tried his best to

complain that Frank had no sense of brotherhood so that he could move on to the goal of the call.

Frank acted as if he did not hear his nonsense and automatically blocked it out. “If you have something

to say, say it. If not, get lost.”

Seeing that Frank was in a hurry to hang up, Hackett quickly got to the point. “Meet at Lithern Club

tonight”

This time, Frank did not refuse. Instead, he agreed readily. “Okay.

Before Hackett could react, Frank had already hung up.

After hanging up, Frank looked at his phone and realized that Ava still had not replied to his message.

He simply placed the phone on his stomach.

The coffee didn’t work. He was a little sleepy. Frank took off his shoes and lay on the couch. He folded

his hands behind has head and narrowed his eyes.

Chapter 433

At this moment, his mind was filled with Ava’s bright smiles.

The servants knew that Frank had a cold personality, so they did not dare to ask him if he wanted a

blanket. The servants in the Roberts family were very well–behaved and there would not be a case

where a female servant would attempt a seduction. There were two reasons. The first was that the

employees were personally chosen by Grace. It could be said that she had investigated the potential

employees thoroughly. The second was that all the employees were relatively older.

In the dark room, the person on the bed subconsciously touched the spot beside her. She closed her

eyes and felt her hand around.

A few seconds later, she realized that it was empty. Even the temperature was no longer warm. Her

palm could feel the coolness of the bedsheet.

With that, the coolness reached her heart through her palm and turned into a trace of disappointment.

The soft translucent curtains draped down because the screen windows were tightly shut. Her arm

reached out from under the blanket and reached for the phone on the bedside table according to her

memory.

The light from her phone stimulated her so much that she had no choice but to squint her beautiful

eyes to relieve the sudden intense light. She was not used to it. After squinting for about half a minute,

she opened her sleepy eyes to look at the time on her phone. It was 11:32.

Why did she sleep so late? Frank should be in her room at this time. Where did he go?

Ava was already used to Frank lying motionlessly beside her while she slept and waited for her to wake

up. For some reason, she panicked and quickly opened a message on her phone.



As expected, the moment she finished reading the message, tears kept flowing down her face. She did

not cry out loud. She just stared at her phone in a daze. Her vision was blurred by tears.

Yes, she was just quietly waiting for today’s sadness to dissipate. After that, she would feel better.

Didn’t they agree last night that he would go back today? She knew it. She had known about it.

However, there was no farewell for them.

Ava was trying to adjust her emotions as soon as possible. She could reply to the message after

adjusting her emotions. However, the phone on the bed seemed to be deliberately set against her. It

kept ringing as her blanket became very wet from her tears.

After crying for a while, she raised her hand and wiped her tears with the back of her hand. She turned

on her phone. She originally thought that they were Frank’s messages, but it turned out that it was

messages from the Fairy Fortress.

Before she could think of a reply to Frank’s message, she opened the group chat message. [My

lovelies and darlings, I’m getting married soon. I’ll remind you in the group chat every day in the future.]

Natalie said, [Don’t. I Don’t want to remember how many times you married.]

Sherri also texted, [Get lost. I advise you to restrain your arrogance. My bridesmaid position is still

empty. Hmph!] Originally, when Natalie got married, Sherri had planned for her best friend to be her

bridesmaid. However, recently, she could not bear it when she saw Natalie’s gradually expanding

stomach. Even Juana did not agree.

After all, Natalie was pregnant with the children of the Wilson family. More importantly, there were two

precious babies. If anything happened, Sherri’s wedding would probably not have been held

successfully. It was better to let her sit at the



table.

Natalie received Sherri’s threat. [Alright, it’s my fault. Please calm down.]

Rose joined in. [ It’s all because you guys had to choose the same time to be pregnant. If the timings

were different, you wouldn’t have bumped into each other. I’m dying of laughter.]

Sherri sent Røse a dynamic video of a man carrying a long sword, so long that the end of the sword

touched the ground when the man was walking.

Rose cooperated and found a moving picture that showed a person trembling. The frequency of the

shaking almost shattered the screen.

Sherri was very satisfied with Rose’s reply. [Yes. Seeing that you admitted your mistake in time, I’ll

forgive you.]

Natalie couldn’t help but yank her best friend down from cloud nine. [Don’t go too far. She’s your future

sister–in–law. Don’t be so impudent.]

Sherri replied, [Give me a break, can’t you? Let’s go to the canteen to eat. Let’s go. We will protect you

like bodyguards] Rose texted, [Alright. You can make the decisions since you’re getting married.]

Natalie said, [Tsk. She’s getting full of herself.]

Ava did not reply in the group chat. She looked at the messages in the group chat again and smiled.

She exited the group

Cimpter 433

chat and opened Frank’s message. She lay under the blanket and replied, I thought you were

downstairs. Are you now in Athana?]



She put on a relaxed tone, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and waited for his reply.

Actually, at this moment, Ava was afraid that Frank would call.

However, Frank, who might just be able to read her mind, did not call. Instead, he replied, [I’m afraid

you’ll cry, so I did not let you send me. Baby Ava, if you want to come to Athana, send me a message.

I’ll pick you up.]

Ava began to comfort Frank to reassure him. [No need. Isn’t Sherri getting married next month? I’m

going to be the bridestnaid. When the time comes, Mom and the others will have to go over.]

Frank guessed that Ava had already cried. [Okay. Are you feeling unwell?]

As soon as he said this, bashful thoughts from last night surged into Ava’s mind. She replied with a red

face, [No, I’m fine. What time did you arrive in Athana?]

Frank texted, [8 p.m.]

Ava really wanted to say that she could accept parting too, but she just needed a little time. However,

she did not say so in her message. [Alright, don’t leave so early in the future. We didn’t even kiss

goodbye.]

Frank agreed. [Okay.]

Seeing that the other party was not typing, Frank panicked and typed again. [Baby Ava, your mom said

that when you all come for Hackett’s wedding, you will be staying with us. I’ll show you Grace boxing

then.]

Unknowingly, Frank was speaking more when he was with Ava. He was learning to ease her

unhappiness.



Ava said, [Really? Then I’ll have to plan what date to go and what gift to bring for her. I’ll have to think

about it carefully.]

Frank texted, [There’s no hurry. It’s fine if you don’t buy it. Grace doesn’t care.]

That definitely wouldn’t do. How could she not buy something on her first visit? Ava was already

thinking about what to buy.

The two of them chatted for another half an hour before Frank finally urged her to eat. Only then did

they stop this conversation reluctantly.

She put down her phone and walked to the window barefooted.

When she opened the screen window, it was as if she had been reborn. Her tears had already dried up,

and the bright sunlight refracted onto her face. She closed her eyes to feel the warm sunlight, and the

gloom in her heart gradually dissipated. The future was promising. She just had to wait.

When she opened the window, the breeze caressed Ava’s face as if it was comforting her. The curtains

danced with the wind, and her sad emotions drifted to every corner of the courtyard with the wind. The

entire room seemed to fall exceptionally quiet with her.

After sorting out her emotions, she turned on her phone again and replied to the messages in the Fairy

Fortress. [I look forward to going to Athana.]
