Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

The two of them chatted in bed and forgot about the tthey woke up. Ava also forgot that she was woken up by hunger.

Frank answered Ava's question, "No." Ava was now even more perplexed. If it wasn't her mother, she wondered how Frank found out. She was hesitant, unable to believe that he could have discovered her little maneuver. Nervously, she inquired, "So, how did you find out?" Frank smiled evilly and stared at her without blinking, making her hair stand on end. She said coquettishly, "Just tell me. Did you guess?" Her stomach rumbled at an inappropriate time, interrupting Frank's answer. He got up and walked to the wardrobe. "| have a stomachache. Do you want to get up and eat?" Frank had retrieved a shirt from the wardrobe and presented it to Ava. "Indeed, it should be this one. | don't feel like wearing the other. | prefer the black short-sleeved shirt." Ava pointed at the wardrobe. Although she couldn't see it, she still commanded.

"Change into something else. It's a little hot today. Black absorbs heat. White is better." Frank rummaged through the wardrobe and glanced at the black one that Ava said.

"Oh, okay." Recognizing her own mistake, Ava quickly acquiesced. Whatever she wore was fine. As long as Frank was by her side, she felt it would look good.

Ava today was especially squeamish and clingy. She allowed Frank to put on her clothes without making a fuss.

Frank knew that she felt that she had made a mistake and could not help but curl her lips into a faint smile.

Ava was quiet. She puffed up her cheeks as if she were thinking about something. After a moment, she said, "Frank, | didn't mean to not tell you. Alright, | didn't tell you on purpose. | was just a little nervous back then, but I'm not too nervous now." After getting dressed, Frank gently picked her up and placed her on his lap. He hugged her tightly and smiled.

"You're still making small movements when you're nervous." Upon hearing this, Ava widened her eyes, wondering how she had been discovered. Her eyelashes fluttered, filled with doubt. The questioning look was evident in the depths of her eyes.

Frank asked, "Are all the things you brought pierced? Where did you learn to do that?" At this moment, Frank found it hard to believe that Ava could do this under his nose. He was actually unprepared. If this was done by Rose, Frank would not be surprised at all.

If it weren't for the hidden meaning in Trevon's words, he wouldn't have had any suspicions. It was fortunate that he was craving a cigarette. Otherwise, he wouldn't have cinto contact with the greasy substance.

Speaking of this, Ava still felt a sense of accomplishment. After all, Frank didn't doubt it at all.

She was so awesome.

He said truthfully, "I stabbed them all. | was afraid that if | couldn't hit them, | would poke many small holes." After saying that, he looked smug, and his eyes curled.

Frank placed his palm on her stomach again, with mixed feelings. Although he could not feel anything, he felt that he could feel everything. He could even feel the existence of the child. After a while, Frank said in a deep voice, "Baby Ava, actually, | can wait." There's no need to make her do all this. Combining academics with pregnancy can be exhausting. Not everyone's pregnancy is as effortless as Hackett's wife, who seemed to lay eggs.

Ava sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. She leaned on his shoulder and said gloomily, "No, | promised to marry you during the summer vacation, but you don't want to register your marriage." As soon as he said this, Frank was stunned for a few seconds. When he cback to his senses, his hand stroked Ava Turner's hair from tto time. "Baby Ava, it's not that | don't want to register our marriage." He did not want her to feel restrained because of the certificate.

When he heard Frank say that he did not want to register their marriage, Ava immediately moved away from his shoulder. He tilted his head and leaned close to Frank's face. He asked, "Do you want to register your marriage too?" "You can take it if you want." Looking into Ava's expectant eyes, Frank smiled.

"Really? Then let's go tomorrow. Will Athana still be in Sapphire City?" Ava continued to look at Frank with bright eyes. He was extremely excited and waited for an answer.

Ava was pregnant, so it was not appropriate for her to run back and forth. She chuckled. "Just do it here." "Well, from tomorrow onwards, you won't be my Frank anymore. You'll be my Ava's husband." Ava held Frank's cheek and kissed it. Her voice was crisp and loud.

Ava's saliva was still on her cheeks. Frank did not reach out to wipe it away. He just smiled at her and said calmly, "Are you still nervous?" She shook her head like a rattle drum. "I'm not nervous anymore." When she was alone, she would be afraid and think nonsense. When she was with Frank, she did not seem nervous anymore. She felt very safe.

His eyes were filled with emotions as he looked at her. "Baby Ava, if you have anything to say in the future, just say it. You can't hide it from me. Do you understand? Can you remember?" She reached out to play with his collar, pulling and smoothing it. "I'm just afraid that if the child is miscarried, I'll tell you that you'll be disappointed again in the future. | want to tell you when the child grows up." "A while ago, Rose recommendedto watch the TV series. After the female lead got pregnant, she was especially happy to tell everyone about her pregnancy. Then, the child suddenly disappeared. The entire family was especially sad. | don't want this to happen." "Furthermore, the doctor emphasized three months ago that extra caution is required. The likelihood of miscarriage is higher in the initial three months compared to the later period." She even spent less than 200 dollars consulting an online doctor.

As for why she didn't look for Sherri, it was because once Sherri knew, it was equivalent to everyone knowing.

She could only seek advice from afar. In fact, what the online doctor told Ava was also a possibility. Doctors usually respond cautiously, avoiding definitive answers and ensuring that the worst-case scenarios are communicated. In the end, they often add a disclaimer, stating that they cannot guarantee the absence of unexpected events, although they are usually unlikely to occur.

As for Ava, she did not care about the good or the bad. For example, she did not dare to tell Frank about the online consultation.

"After listening to Ava's words, Frank silently cursed Rose in his heart. The chaotic television recommendations had left the Ava with a shadow." He didn't take good care of the child every day and just watched television s blindly. He would teach Edward a lesson another day and ask him to take care of him more or less.

"This won't happen. Didn't your sister give you a checkup? Isn't the result good? Baby Ava, relax." Frank scolded his sister in his heart again and began to comfort her.

"Alright, I'll listen to you." After saying that, he hugged Frank's neck tightly.

Frank brought Ava downstairs for lunch. He also ate a little. Emma was relieved to see her daughter's smile.

In Emma's opinion, Ava's nervousness could only be cured by Frank.

She did not disturb the two of them from eating. She secretly went upstairs and hid in the study to practice his calligraphy.

After eating, Frank chatted with her for a while. After reading for a while, she started yawning again. Frank coaxed her to sleep and accompanied her to sleep.

When she woke up, it was already past five o'clock. The person beside her was still sleeping soundly and had no intention of waking up.

Frank raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist. This watch was a gift from the young lady. He had been wearing it all this time. He looked at the time, carefully got out of bed, and went downstairs.

She realized that her father-in-law and brother-in-law had already returned. The four of them sat in the living room together. Joseph Turner was carrying the child in his arms. The child in his arms had grown up, and his facial features were starting to look like Christina. He was biting with a teething stick in his hand with relish. He did not make a fuss.

He suddenly felt a little uneasy. He slowly walked down the stairs towards the sofa and sat down on the single sofa.

Just as his buttocks adhered to the sofa, the big uncle across from him, namely Joseph, began to speak. His voice was deep, and it was hard to discern any emotion. "What thoughts do you have?" He tidied up his already neat clothes and sat properly. His attitude was upright and sincere, and his tone was affirmative. "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, | plan to register my marriage with Ava tomorrow." As soon as he finished speaking, the Turner family and his wife didn't have any objections. Emma had mentioned a long tago that they would register their marriage first, but Frank didn't agree and said that everything depended on Ava. After that, he didn't mention it again.

Now that Ava was pregnant, this should indeed be on the agenda. Emma nodded and asked gently, "Sure, do you want to go back to Athana to do it?" Frank said, "I'll do it here." Just as Baby Ava said, accidents were prone to happen three months ago. It was better to take fewer flights for safety's sake.

"Alright, do you wantto inform your mom, or will you tell her yourself?" Even though Ava was married abroad and getting the certificate here, it was still necessary to inform Grace. Although Ava knew that Grace wouldn't say much, "Letdo the talking." Emma nodded and decided to call Grace after Frank finished speaking.

Joseph glanced at Frank and asked, "Ava is thinking too much. When are you going back?" After sorting out the order of the two sentences, Frank had already finished reading.

After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said, "I won't be going back for the tbeing. I'll watch Baby Ava." Joseph was quite satisfied with this answer. There was no need to say anything else. With Frank Roberts accompanying Ava, his mood would be much better. He believed that this girl's wild thoughts were also temporary.

Emma instructed, "Frank, Ava is still young. Her emotions might fluctuate greatly during her first pregnancy.

Please bear with her and persuade her." Frank nodded in agreement. "Mom, | know. Baby Ava is already very sensible." When one looked forward to something too much, one would becnervous and careful, afraid that things would not go as planned. For example, in the exam, the more one wanted to get a high score, the more nervous one would be. After the exam, one would be even more nervous than during the exam. One would always recall the process of doing the questions and find out what they had done wrong.

From beginning to end, Daniel did not say a word. Logically speaking, he should have given sinstructions.

Frank promised his silent father-in-law, "Dad, | will take good care of Baby Ava." Daniel clasped his hands together and smiled slightly. He nodded. "Alright, I'll leave Ava to you." After returning to his room, Frank immediately called Grace . "Grace, Baby Ava is pregnant.” Previously, he had only told Grace as a guess, but this time, it was true. He couldn't see Frank's expression, but he could guess that he was very happy. After a while, he said, "Alright, take good care of Ava. You don't have to worry about the company for the tbeing. Your father and | can handle it." Frank said, "I plan to register my marriage with Baby Ava tomorrow at Sapphire City." Knowing that her son was actually asking for her opinion, Grace replied very quickly,, without a pause. "The Roberts family has never valued boys over girls, nor does he have any feudal thinking about where we have to register our marriage. As long as the certificate is valid, anywhere is fine. | have no objections." Frank's lips curled into a beautiful smile. "Thank you, Grace." Grace was silent for a few seconds before he chuckled. "Take good care of Ava. Although this child looks mature, there will be times when he's immature. Everyone has their ups and downs. The sthing starts when you're 20 and ends when you're 30. The decisions you make when you're 40 are different. Only afterward will you know if you did the right thing or not." Grace, like everyone else, made numerous poor decisions in his youth. No one can navigate every situation flawlessly, and they all gained valuable experience through their failures.

Frank replied, "I know." After a few words, Frank hung up.

Actually, Frank had already heard William's voice over the phone. He could hear William's joy through the screen.
