Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 423

The car arrived at the manor.

This time, there was no need for anyone to pick up Ava. The bodyguard at the entrance had clearly

been instructed. When Frank opened the car window, the bodyguard called out respectfully, “Mr.

Roberts, please come in.”

Mr. Roberts?

Frank liked this nickname. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. He smiled slightly and

nodded at the bodyguard. Then, he stepped on the accelerator again and drove into the manor.

Recently, Frank had been smiling frequently. Seeing that he was still smiling, Ava leaned over and

kissed him. “Ava’s Hubby, you’re very happy.”

After the car stopped, Frank returned the greeting and kissed Ava’s lips. “Yes.”

“That’s a nice nickname,” he thought.

Frank got out of the car. Ava followed closely behind and opened the passenger door. Frank took out

the suitcase from the trunk and carried it in.

Ava held his hand intimately.

Emma was sitting in the living room. When she saw the two people at the door enter, she walked over

in her house shoes.

Frank stopped in his tracks and greeted them.



At this moment, Daniel also walked over. Ava let go of Frank’s hand and held Daniel’s hand. She acted

like a spoiled child and said, “Did you miss me very much?”

Daniel’nodded at Frank as a response. He really wanted to say that Ava couldn’t be kept when she

grew up. If they didn’t call, Ava probably wouldn’t be willing to come back. She would definitely come

back when Frank went.

He could only see through it and not expose it. Seeing Ava so happy, Daniel also smiled. “We miss

you. Aren’t you guys going home to stay?”

Emma glanced at the suitcase in Frank’s hand, then looked in the direction of the stairs. She adjusted

her shawl and said to Frank, “Take your luggage up first.”

Ava let go of Daniel’s arm and planned to follow Frank upstairs. After all, Frank was not familiar with

the layout upstairs since Frank had not been here many times. “I’ll go with you.”

As Emma spoke, he prepared to walk, but his mind was in a daze Frank had never been so confused

for a moment because Emma did not say which room to put it in.

He didn’t know whether to ask or not. If he asked, it would seem that he was too sensible if they were

given a room. If he didn’t ask, he wouldn’t know which room it was.

It was difficult.

Just as Frank slowed down and walked upstairs, Emma’s gentle voice came from behind. “Put the

suitcase in Ava’s room. The sheets in Ava’s room have been changed.”

These words delighted Frank, who had already taken a few steps. Wasn’t this telling him not to sleep in

separate rooms and to sleep in Ava’s room at night?

Frank was overjoyed in his heart, but his face remained unchanged as he replied, “Thank you. I got it.”



In his heart, he admired Emma. She had arranged everything appropriately. No wonder even Grace

took the initiative to add her contact information. He thought that they would arrange for separate

rooms, but he did not expect it to not happen.

Looking at the backs of the two youngsters going upstairs, especially Ava, her footsteps were cheerful

as she skipped up the stairs. Compared to her, Frank was much more stable.

you

When Daniel saw this scene, his mood suddenly became even more complicated. Emma tidied her

shawl and patted the dark

green gown. She held Daniel’s hand and led him to the sofa. “Ava is already grown up. No matter how

much can’t bear to part with her, she still has to pursue love. They’re already engaged. They slept in

the same room in the hotel. We can’t let them sleep in separate rooms when they go home. It’s

unnecessary.”

Of course, Daniel understood this logic. However, as a father, he still couldn’t bear to part with her.

Thinking back to when he sent Natalie to get married, he also couldn’t bear to part with her. In the near

future, he would send Ava to get married. Just thinking about it made him feel uncomfortable.

“It’s good that Ava is happy. It seems that Frank is still a reliable man.” Daniel was a little worried that

Ava would get pregnant during university. He hoped that Frank knew what to do.

Emma’s calming voice came from beside him. “Don’t worry, Frank knows this.”

Emma continued gently, “Last night, Grace said that when Sherri gets married, she will let our entire

family live in the Roberts family. She also said that we could wait until Sherri gets married and let them

register their marriage in Athana. What do you think?”



Daniel naturally understood what Grace meant. She was afraid that they would be worried about Frank,

so he said reluctantly, “It depends on two young people. I suggest they get married after graduation.”

Emma said, “I’ll listen to you. Then let’s not talk about it. Wait for them to develop naturally. Be more

open-minded. Ava is very happy. Isn’t that what you want?”

Emma was very open-minded. She was quite satisfied with Frank. He had a good sense of propriety.

He would marry Ava first before doing anything.

Upstairs.

Frank came to Ava’s room for the second time. The last time he came in was because Ava had a fever.

He came and left in a hurry and did not stop to observe her room carefully.

Previously, Rose had taken a photo of Ava’s room. He had also seen it before, but there was still a

difference between the real thing and the photo. At least, it was different visually.

When he pushed open the door, he saw the diamond chair in Rose’s photo. Frank took a look and

reached out to touch the diamond on the chair. It was even more shining under the moonlight on the

bright balcony.

Ava was already holding a bear toy in her arms. She leaned against the side of the balcony door and

asked, “Is it beautiful? Is my room beautiful?”

Frank quickly walked around. He had plenty of time to admire it at night. After that, he would be staying

for a few days. Naturally, he could remember it. “It’s beautiful. Let’s go out.”

It was not good to stay in the room the first time he entered with a different identity. He had to go

downstairs to talk to the elders.

Ava replied obediently, “Alright.”



Seeing that Frank was looking at the bear in her arms, Ava explained, “This is a shy bear. The one on

the left of the bed is Doraemon. The one on the right is Marie Cat. The one I used as a pillow is a white

goose. The one sleeping in the middle is Lena Bear.”

Frank glanced at the dolls on the bed and looked at Ava with a smirk. “Where should I sleep?”

It could be imagined that she usually hugged a pile of dolls to sleep. It could also be said that she was

surrounded by a pile of dolls to sleep. If these things were not removed, there would really be no place

for Frank.

Ava turned to look at her bed and smiled shyly. Her little face was slightly red as she said in a low

voice, “I’ll just leave the bear toys in the cloakroom at night.”

“Okay, let’s go.” Seeing that Ava was shy, he stopped teasing her and reached out to hold her hand.

Daniel and Emma downstairs were watching the news. There were many fruits on the table.

Frank politely sat down opposite them. Older people liked to play chess. Previously, Daniel had lost

several times to William. Now, he wanted to play chess with Frank. “Frank, do you know how to play

chess?”

“Yes, I know a little. If you don’t mind, I can accompany you to play chess.” His words were humble and

polite.

“Come. Let’s play chess now.” Daniel led Frank to the coffee room.

Only Ava and Emma were left in the living room. Ava had always shared everything with Emma, and

even when she wanted to woo Frank, she had also asked Emma for her opinion.

At this moment, she also began to share. She looked around and saw that the servants had already

gone away. She approached Emma and whispered, “Mom, if I don’t take any measures, will I get



pregnant?”

Emma’s hand that was holding the half-orange paused. She thought that they had not taken any

precautions in the hotel for the past few days, but she quickly returned to calm. She was afraid that she

would scare Ava, so she stuffed the orange into Ava’s mouth and asked, “Have you not taken any

precautions?”

Ava was chewing on the orange and could not speak. She was afraid that she would not be able to

explain clearly, so she quickly waved her hand and waited for the orange to swallow before saying,

“No, I’m just asking. Frank has always prepared protective measures.”

Upon hearing this, Emma nodded. She knew that Frank had a sense of propriety and planned well

when he should do something. She continued to patiently explain, “I can’t say for sure. It doesn’t mean

that you can get pregnant without taking any safety measures. This depends on a person’s physique.

Some people can get pregnant in one try because of their susceptible physique, and some people have

a difficult physique. Even if they don’t take any measures, they won’t get pregnant. They might need to

recuperate before they can get pregnant. This is completely a physique problem.” Ava listened

attentively to Emma’s words. She did not interrupt or ask questions. She was only listening to it.

Emma sat in a dignified manner and turned her head to tidy up Ava’s hair. “Are you planning to have a

child with Frank?”

“No, he didn’t mention.”

Emma said, “For Frank, it’s the right time to have a child, but you’re not in a hurry. Moreover, you

haven’t graduated yet, but you can’t decide this on your own. You have to discuss it. Ava, you’re also

engaged now. Although Grace and the others. like you very much and would dote on you, there are

many things that we have to learn to consider from other people’s perspectives.

“I’m not asking you to think about giving birth to a child in advance. I’m just asking you to discuss with

Frank more in the future, understand?”

After understanding how William and Grace had succeeded, Emma admired Grace’s tenacity. She also

felt sorry for such a woman who had walked step by step from an orphan to where she was now.

The image of Grace in a suit appeared in Ava’s mind. She looked especially pretty. “Mom, I understand.

Actually, I quite like Grace. I think she’s cool and easy to get along with.”

Emma agreed that she was easy to get along with. Other than Grace’s cold appearance, she was

indeed easy to get along with. She spoke readily, was not shy, and was transparent. She was very

comfortable to get along with.

Around 10 p.m.

The lights in the room were dim, and there was only a table lamp left.

time.

Frank was wearing pajamas with his hands on both sides. In the dark night, he was like a cheetah,

ready to attack at any Ava’s eyes were blurry from the kiss. She squinted at the person in front of her

and said softly, “Can you turn off the light?”

“Okay.” His eyes were red as he replied slightly.

After turning off the lights, Frank lay on her side outside. There was a rustling sound. The sudden noise

in the quiet night was especially ear-piercing.



Ava could not see what Frank was doing. It seemed to be tearing something apart. “Frank, what are

you doing?”

Frank did not stop what he was doing and replied, “Protection.”

Ava understood this sentence. Her face suddenly heated “Oh.”

1.

She suddenly thought of what Emma had told her that night. Frank was old enough to have a child.

Was Frank anxious? She asked, “Do you want a child?”

This time, Frank was busy doing the protection and he stopped. A few seconds later, he raised his

hand and touched her face. His eyes were possessive and doting. “When you graduate.”

“Oh, that’s gonna take a long time.”

He was really not in a hurry to have a child. They could enjoy just the two of them, not just for a year,

but for two years. He said in a hoarse voice, “I’m not in a hurry, Baby Ava. Do you want to have a

child?”

She hadn’t thought about this question yet, but Emma had asked her. So Ava wanted to ask Frank.

She also wanted to spend some time alone with Frank. She shook her head, indicating that she didn’t

want to.

The two of them came to an agreement.

“Baby Ava, I’m not in a hurry. As long as you don’t want to have a child, I will agree.” There would be

no accidents if they took full precautions.



As soon as he finished speaking, his lips fell. After experiencing this, Ava already knew how to

cooperate and create love. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him towards herself.

Love filled the warm room, and happiness filled the entire room. Her excited heart beat like a drum in

the dark night, not stopping for a moment.

The diamond chair on the balcony was even more shining tonight. It kept flickering.

Together with the moonlight, it emitted a different light.

The plush toys in the cloakroom couldn’t help but be out. A doll fell as if it looked up at the beautiful
