Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 468

After lunch, Ava wanted to send a gift to Sherri. However, she did not know the exact location of the

Blackwell family’s villa, so she could only ask Frank to accompany her.

Ever since Sherri gave birth to her baby, the Landor family and the Blackwell family successfully came

together and became one big family.

Car stopped at the Blackwell family’s villa.

Frank led Ava inside and pressed the doorbell at the door. Neither of them had called Sherri or Hackett

beforehand.

After the doorbell rang for a while, Joy came out to open the door. At first, she was a little surprised.

“Frank… Come in quickly.”

“Hello, Mrs. Blackwell. I’m here to look for Sherri,” Ava said politely.

Joy invited, “Sherri is upstairs. Come in. Don’t stand outside.”

After they entered, Joy instructed the servants to prepare fruits and drinks. Then, she said to Frank,

“Didn’t you call Hackett? He went to the company. This morning, his father told him the price of the

building. He held the calculator and calculated for a long time because he felt that the price was

inappropriate. After arguing with his father for a while, they both went to the company.”

“Take a seat first. I’ll go inform Sherri that we’ll be having dinner here tonight,” Joy said.

As soon as they entered, Joy had already arranged their dinner.

Joy ran upstairs anxiously. In the room, Juana was tidying up the bassinet while Sherri was

breastfeeding. Seeing her mother-in-law grinning, Sherri asked curiously, “Joy, what are you so happy

about?”

“I’m just happy for your mother. Frank and his fiancée are downstairs. I asked them to stay for dinner

just now. When the time comes, call your son and Dr. Rose over. Wouldn’t that be perfect?” Joy replied.

Joy had a well-arranged plan.

Sherri said uncertainly, “Moms, isn’t this very awkward? My brother and sister are both at the dining

table, and my brother-in-law, who is also my brother.” There would probably be an awkward silence.

He was not very good at talking, and Frank had a cold personality. What did they rely on to ease the

atmosphere? Perhaps the two mothers could help.

To be honest, Sherri was afraid that it would backfire.

“I don’t think so. I thought the Roberts family didn’t object to your brother being with Dr. Rose. That

means they don’t object. It’s fine to have a meal together,” Joy reassured Sherri.

Juana voiced her thoughts. “Actually, this isn’t a deliberate arrangement. Didn’t Dr. Rose give the child

a lot of gifts? Shouldn’t you thank her? You should at least invite her over for a meal,” she suggested.

“Isn’t that just nice? Your brother is going home for dinner too. In addition, Frank and the others

happened to come today. Isn’t this a coincidence?” Sherri exclaimed.

“Yes, Sherri. Your mother is right. We have

to thank her,” Joy agreed with Juana’s analysis.

Sherri thought, “Most importantly, your purpose is not just to treat us to a meal, but to observe Frank’s

attitude. Isn’t this intentional? What else could be considered intentional? Tying the two of them to the

bed?

“Or consummate the marriage on the spot?”

Under the heated gazes of his two mothers and their urging, Sherri finally picked up his phone and sent

a message to Rose. [Sister, come to the Blackwell family for dinner tonight.]

Everyone else was left waiting for Rose’s reply in the hospital. She did not reply immediately, likely

because she was at work.

Sherri showed the phone screen to the two mothers and confirmed that the message had been

successfully sent. He expressed his frustration, saying that it was really difficult. He felt like he was just

a tool after confinement.

Downstairs, Ava and Frank were sitting side by side. The coffee tables were already filled with fruits

and dried fruits for them. Ava asked Frank, “Frank, is Hackett good at math?”

Frank hesitated for a moment but eventually admitted, “Yes, he’s quite outstanding in mathematics and

has a strong aptitude. for numbers.”

“But usually, I can’t tell at all. Hackett always seems like he doesn’t care about anything and is always

cheerful.”

Frank replied, “That’s just his personality. He can be a bit silly at times.”

His brain had not developed for nothing. It was indeed useful, but he tended to be lazy and not fully

utilize it.

Ava was speechless.

Every time there was a building opening, Hackett would always meticulously calculate the price using a

calculator.

About an hour later, Frank, feeling full from drinking water, noticed that Hackett had still not returned.

He took out his phone and was about to call Hackett.

Hackett’s phone rang behind him. Without turning his head, Frank knew that Hackett had returned. He

reached out his fingertips and hung up the call.

As soon as Hackett entered, he saw the two people sitting on the sofa. “Ava, why are you here? Are

you here to see me?”

Frank turned sideways to look at Hackett, who was still standing at the door. “How dare you say that?

We’re not here to see you.

“Frank, I’m going to look for my sister,” Ava said as she stood up and left.

Looking at the little girl’s back, he asked, “Has the price been set? Is it you who’s wrong, or is it Uncle

wrong?”

Hackett said proudly, “When did I ever make a mistake? It must be the old man’s fault. He didn’t stay in

the company to handle the aftermath.” If he had made a mistake, Nathan would surely have left him to Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

deal with the consequences. Only the old man himself might feel a bit inferior.

“Have dinner here tonight. It’s rare for you to come over, so I have to treat you to a meal. Do you want

to invite Rose as well? Since you’ve accepted the gift, you have to arrange the meal. You can’t just be

a freeloader.”

Frank didn’t immediately agree with Hackett’s suggestion. Instead, he asked, “Is Edward joining us for

dinner tonight?” “How is that possible? He’s busy. He picked up your sister in the morning, took her to

lunch, and then dropped her off after work. Don’t you think that Edward Landor’s schedule might not

align with my family’s mealtime?” Hackett replied. Hackett felt that Edward was even busier than a taxi

driver. He couldn’t fathom how many miles he had to drive in a day. Frank said, “If he can’t even see

Rose off, he should distance himself from her as soon as possible. Many people would gladly see my

sister off.”

“Tsk, tsk, you’re so protective of your sister. You didn’t mention that no one is pursuing Rose. Are you

also advocating for my brother-in-law?” Hackett responded.

Ava went upstairs. Joy and Juana were no longer there. The little guy was already asleep.

“Sherri.”

Since Joy had already told Sherri that Ava was downstairs, she was not too surprised to see Ava. “Ava,

come and see your little nephew.

Ava held a rectangular box and a round box in her hands. She walked to the side of the crib and stared

at the sleeping little guy. “He’s so cute. He’s very similar to Hackett.”

“He does look like him. Our whole family says he resembles Hackett. Hackett’s genes are just too

dominant. Ruby looks like him, and our son looks like him too. It seems it has nothing to do with me,”

Sherri remarked.

Regarding this, Sherri felt somewhat helpless.

After gazing at him for a while, Ava couldn’t bear to disturb the little guy’s adorable sleep. She tiptoed

to the bed and said, “Sis, I bought this for my nephew. It’s not very expensive, but I purchased it with

my own money. Mom asked me to bring this over.”

Ava also gave her gold. Before presenting it, she had asked Natalie what he liked. At the time, Natalie

had mentioned that he would appreciate gold.

A gold spoon, a gold bowl, and a pair of gold forks.

bowly

They were all solid and had significant weight to them.

Ava introduced “This represents luxury. This is from Mom. It’s an emerald longevity lock. Mom gave the

two girls the same style. They’re identical.”

As she spoke, she helped open the box and let Sherri take a look.

Over the past few days, Sherri had received many thoughtful gifts from everyone. The gifts carried

beautiful meanings, and she was deeply touched. “I love it so much. Please help me thank Auntie and

the others,” she said.

After receiving the gift, Sherri was concerned that the plans for the evening might be awkward, so she

decided to start a conversation with Ava. “Ava, I have something to discuss with you,” she said.

“Sis, please tell me.”

Sherri said, “My mother-in-law want you to have dinner at the Blackwell family tonight. I was thinking of

inviting Rose as well, and then my brother will surely come too. If Frank doesn’t like it, you can help

mediate.”

After hearing this, Ava frowned slightly. “That doesn’t seem right. Frank didn’t object to Rose.”

“I’m just concerned that the two mothers won’t be able to keep the secret. If they get too anxious and

say something that

upsets Frank, like asking when you two will get married or have children.”

Sherri analyzed her concerns to Ava.

“Don’t worry. Frank is very gentle. He won’t get angry.” Ava reassured her. She had never seen Frank

angry before, he had always been gentle and considerate.

Sherri thought, “I’m afraid he’s not only gentle to you. In any case, I’ve been quite rude to Rose.”

When Natalie was hospitalized, he even saw Frank tapping Rose on the head. This was what he

considered gentleness. There must have been some misunderstanding.

In the afternoon, Frank and Hackett hid in their room and played video game racing using controllers.

They were both confident in this game, and after playing for a while, Frank managed to tie with Hackett.

Ava was chatting with Sherri in the room, and Sherri was in high spirits. During this time, Ava was

reluctant to let her take a

nap.

Moreover, since Ava didn’t visit often, Sherri felt it was important to keep her company. After all, she

could take a nap at any

time.

As night fell, the darkness gradually spread, attempting to cover the entire sky.

The sound of the car scraping against the ground outside the door seemed particularly loud in the

stillness of the night.

Rose and Edward received the message simultaneously. Instead of replying, they both called each

other immediately to discuss how to resolve the situation.

In the end, they both agreed to have dinner at the Blackwell family’s residence.

Rose got out of the car, and as soon as she closed the door, a familiar sight caught her eye. She

thought she must be mistaken. She approached and examined it closely. It looked incredibly familiar,

but she couldn’t believe her eyes. She checked the license plate again. “Isn’t this my brother’s car?”

she exclaimed.

She thought, “What is going on? Is Frank also part of the Blackwell family?”

Edward recognized Frank’s car and had already suspected that Frank was at the Blackwell family’s

house. He also wondered why his mother had insisted on him bringing Rose home for dinner. “Your

brother is already at the Blackwell family’s place. Do you want to go in? If you don’t want to, I can say

that you have something else to do,” he suggested.

They were already at the door, and if Hackett happened to check the surveillance camera, it would be

quite awkward.

“Forget it, let’s go in. My brother should have come with Ava,” Rose decided. When the time came, she

would just spend time with Ava.

In reality, she wasn’t afraid of Frank. Her fear was primarily driven by the instinctive fear of being

scolded by her brother.

Fortunately, with her sister-in-law around today, she could rely on her to handle her brother’s talkative

nature.
