Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon) novel Chapter 482

Chapter 482

Ava and Frank were back in the next room.

Ava did not sleep when she returned to her room. She had said that she was tired because she did not want to disturb Rose and Edward’s private time. She was pretty energetic after catching up on sleep in the morning. Moreover, she wanted to build her palace as well.

She took out the palace set, and every part of the bag was individually packaged. She chose a small bag and poured the pieces on the table. Frank sat on the ground beside her to help unwrap the parts and look at the instructions.

Frank patiently read the instructions carefully, and his eyes were fixed on the paper as he pondered. He pinched the back of Ava’s neck. “Baby Ava, let’s start from the foundation and keep going, alright?”

“Do you want to do this first? Alright, I’ll find out what this area needs first. Then, we’ll piece it together according to the instructions.”

Ava looked at the pieces and made her own arrangements, which were orderly, organized, and neat. Her slender hands were already rummaging through the pieces on the table to find what she needed.

This was the first time Frank had done such meticulous work since he was born. Ava might be the only one in this world who could make him sit and build a palace. In the past, when he was in school, he had never handed in his homework for art classes.

He patiently picked up the paper with instructions and helped Ava find the pieces one by one. “Let’s have some rest after an hour, alright?”

Frank cast a quick glance at the intricate tasks at hand, realizing how straining they were on the eyes and neck, making it unsustainable to keep one’s head down for long.

Even Ava couldn’t endure it for long. She had already been assisting Rose for an hour and politely responded, “Alright.”

The two of them cooperated silently, and neither of them spoke. Ava lowered her head and stared at the pieces in her hands, afraid that she would make any mistake. Frank, on the other hand, held the pieces in his hand and handed them to her. From the beginning, his eyes had been fixed on her face.

After putting part of the palace together, Ava looked up and happened to meet Frank’s gaze. She was not embarrassed and said with a smile, “Do you think I will become more beautiful if you keep staring at me?”

Frank still did not look away. Instead, his gaze was still fixed on her as he smiled faintly. “You can’t be more beautiful,” he said.

Ava had a genuine smile on her face, for Frank had started to learn how to say sweet things to her. She changed the topic, “I think Edward really takes care of Rose. What do you think, Frank?”

Frank did not affirm his approval. “He is fine so far.”

way

Ava Turner nodded, understanding that true kindness wasn’t a fleeting gesture but rather a sustained commitment, like the his. parents treated each other, the way his sister and her husband took care of each other. Short-term interactions couldn’t provide a definitive assessment, but based on their current interactions, it appeared that Edward was treating Rose quite well.

Ava hoped that Edward would treat Rose with love, kindness, and respect forever.

“Frank, are you jealous seeing them getting married? If you want, we can get married whenever you

want.”

Frank’s friends were already married. Hackett, his brother-in-law, and Rose were already married. Ava felt that their relationship was actually the same as marriage. It was just a piece of paper, so she would be more than willing to do the paperwork if Frank fell left behind.

Frank didn’t think so. “Don’t worry about others. I’m not in a hurry. Let’s wait until you graduate.”

“Alright then, Frank said reassuringly as he tenderly ruffled Ava’s head. It meant both comfort and a genuine assurance that everything was fine.

He wouldn’t mind if they only had one kid in the future, for he did not want her to suffer too much.

Besides, he was willing to wait and also wanted to bring her back to Athana to register their marriage.

At night, the four of them sat on a ship of Haililand and enjoyed a seafood feast. Meanwhile, the fishermen in front of the huge ship were fishing for seafood.

keep it low-key tonight.”

“Come on! I am just sharing my happiness! I want to send her the picture. What do you think?” she asked Edward.

“Sure, but I still suggest you post it,” Edward advised. Sherri might send messages of complaint or even call if she received the photo. Posting it was a more standard approach and wouldn’t provoke much resentment.

Sending the picture might come off as showing off, especially since she still could not move freely. It might make her envious.

Ava nodded and suggested, “Why don’t we keep a low profile and not post anything online?”

Three to one, a complete defeat. “Alright, I will only send you guys the picture then. It’d be bad if they have an argument.”

Frank said, “Trevon would never have an argument with his wife. She is his queen. As for Hackett and his wife, I am not that

sure.”

After Frank had meticulously peeled all the seafood, he lazily leaned back in his chair, gazing at the endless expanse of the lake. He casually inquired, as if it were an idle thought, “Where are you moving after going back then?”

Rose was dumbfounded and did not understand his words. “What… what do you mean?”

Ava did not interrupt and ate quietly the entire time, for she knew that Frank actually did not want to be away from Rose.

Rose then gave Ava a thumbs-up and remarked to her brother, “I really don’t know what good deeds you’ve done to find such an excellent girl like Ava.”

Ava said, “Because Frank is a very kind person.”

Rose suddenly leaned over, and her words dripped with a coquettish tone. “Edward is also a very kind person.”

“Cough, cough, cough, oh god.” Edward choked on his drink, accidentally taking a sip at the very moment Rose talked to him in such a tone. It sent shivers down his spine, catching him entirely off guard.

Frank was amused by her sister’s actions. He smiled and looked at Edward, thinking this man would suffer in the future. His sister would come up with funny ideas from time to time. He found Rose more outgoing than Baby Ava, but Baby Ava was

more mature.

Ava thought, “Rose and Edward’s way of interacting is so special. Nonetheless, they seem to be getting along very well. She is the one being funny, and he just takes care of her all the time.”

Rose commented, “Alas, is Edward serious? I have to train him so he can be more used to my jokes.”

It was after twelve by the time, they got back to the hotel, and the four of them went back to their own rooms.

“Night, night. I’ll be going back to Sapphire City with Frank tomorrow. Edward, Rose, enjoy your trip.” Ava felt that they were disturbing this newly-married couple.

“What? Are you leaving tomorrow? You should stay for a few more days.” Rose had completely forgotten that Ava had to go back to work.

Frank felt that his sister was even more silly after getting married. “Baby Ava is a holiday. She has to go back to work, okay?”

“Oops, I’m sorry, I forgot that. Alright, see you soon then, Ava. We’ll go to Sapphire City to visit you soon.”

Rose slapped her forehead.

Ava would leave tomorrow morning. She planned to stay with Frank at Turner Manor for a day. “Goodbye. Have a good trip,” she politely bade farewell to Edward.

Edward, “See you soon! Good night!”

Frank wasn’t the type to say goodbye at every turn. It was too exhausting. So, he pushed Ava and walked straight into their

room.

On the other side, Rose was also brought into the room by Edward, but she even had a look of pity on her face. “Alas, what a pity. They’re leaving tomorrow. How fun would it be if they could stay for a few more days with us? The more the merrier.” Edward asked, “I am not fun enough for you?”

“You are, but it’s different. It’s… oh, how should I put it? It’s the kind of atmosphere where you can have a blast. I am having fun with you, so don’t overthink it. I cannot live without you. You’re important to me.” Rose patted his shoulder to reassure

him.

Edward did not know what to say.

It was just a simple question, but Rose seemed afraid to hurt his feelings.
