Chapter 562
At eleven o’clock, someone knocked on Ava’s door. Frank went to open the door sleepily. When he
opened the door, he saw that it was Joseph. He rubbed his messy hair and yawned. His voice was
slightly hoarse. “What’s wrong?”
There was a drawing on Frank’s chest. It was Ava’s masterpiece. Joseph’s sharp eyes saw it and he
automatically looked away.
“Still not awake?” Joseph raised his hand and looked at his watch. It had been almost nine hours. No
matter what, he probably should have seven hours of sleep.
“I’m about up. What’s up?” Frank opened his eyes with great effort and yawned again.
“You have to go to the airport and pick up Natalie and the others. They’ll be here around 12 o’clock.”
Joseph didn’t care if Frank was awake or not. He just told him what to do.
Frank did not refuse. He pinched the spot between his eyebrows and replied, “Yes, okay.”
After saying that, Joseph thoughtfully closed the door again. Frank stood at the doorway for a while and
walked straight to the bed. Ava was still sleeping soundly. He could not bear to wake her up.
He planned to pick them up himself so he went into the bathroom to wash up. Ten minutes later, he
chose a simple outfit from the wardrobe. He still liked to wear jeans, a white T-shirt, and a black
cardigan.
He wrote a line of words on a Post-it note on the table and placed it on the other pillow. The Post-it note
was usually used by Ava to write notes for school. It happened to be useful now.
When Emma saw Frank coming down, he was already dressed. She asked gently, /Why didn’t you
sleep a little longer?”
-“I’m going to go pick… them up.” It occurred to him that Natalie and
Trevon were now related to him through Ava. For some reason, he was a little unaccustomed to it and
he was a little tongue-tied.
Emma smiled. “It’s fine. You can just call them by their names as you always do. Remember to eat
something before leaving.” As she spoke, she asked the servant to bring up the breakfast that was kept
warm in the pot.
Frank picked coffee and a boiled egg. “That’s enough. Thank you very
16

much, Emma.”
Upon hearing this, Emma was stunned by his sudden politeness for a moment before she quickly
reacted. She smiled and said, “Drive slowly. Let Pat go together with you.”
Frank took a sip of coffee. The hot beverage warmed his stomach. He shook his head. “There is no
need. It’s not far.”
After Frank left, Emma still instructed the men to follow them just in case. “Pat, bring a few people
along with you and follow behind Mr. Roberts to protect their safety.”
Pat said respectfully, “Yes, madam.”
Angie was in the courtyard. When she saw that Frank had gone out, she walked into the living room
and asked Emma, “Is Frank going back now?” “No. He went to pick up my niece and Trevon.”
Emma always had a smile on her face. She gave off a very comfortable feeling. She was wearing a
white silk dress that cinched in at the waist and a long blue cardigan. She stood upright and looked
elegant.
Angie thought to herself, “If I were a man, I would probably fall in love with such a gentle woman.
Rachel’s temperament is not bad, but it is obvious that she is not easy to manage.”
Not long after Frank left, Ava woke up. She subconsciously touched the space beside her, looking for
him. When she felt that it was empty, she instantly opened her eyes and sat up as she searched for
Frank. When she turned around, she saw the Post-it note Frank had left on the pillow. She lay back
down again and picked it up. She turned her body so she was lying on her side. [I’m going to the airport
to pick people up.] After reading it, Ava smiled. She thought that Frank had left without a word again.
Her disappointment was instantly filled with joy from Frank’s few words. She picked up her phone and
looked at the time. It was already 11:30. It was almost time to get up for lunch.
-She quickly got up to wash up. Natalie and the others would be there
soon.
She walked down the stairs happily and shouted loudly, “Hello, Mommy. Hello, Angie.” She looked
around and did not see Stella. When she reached the middle of the stairs, she realized that she did not
greet the little guy and turned back.
Before Angie could even greet her, she saw Ava rushing upstairs again.

10:25
Angie asked in confusion, “Why did she go back again?”
“She forgot to visit her nephew in Christina’s room. Ava has to look at the baby before school every
day,” Emma explained gently.
Angie thought, “This family really has the best vibes.”
Ava knocked on Christina’s room. “Christina, are you up? Can I come in?” Joseph opened the door.
The baby had just taken a shower and Joseph was putting on his clothes. The temperature in the room
was set at a suitable temperature, and the little guy was kicking his calves and being very lively. He did
not make a fuss and was very obedient.
“He’s just taken a small shower. Oh! You’re so cute. I need to kiss you before I can go downstairs.” As
she spoke, she kissed the little guy on the cheek and then on his little hand.
“Joseph, I think George’s personality is very similar to yours. Christina, do you think so? His emotions
are super stable.”
Ava looked at her quiet nephew on the bed. His small eyes kept wandering around as he entertained
himself. He did not cry or throw a temper.
“They are quite alike.” They really did look alike. Joseph had named the child George Turner after
much consideration.
Joseph looked at Christina and curled his lips into a faint smile. He patted his sister on her head and
said, “Go down and eat something. We might have to wait for Natalie and the others to arrive before we
have lunch. There’s still some time. Go quickly.”
“Oh, okay.”
An hour later at the Sapphire Airport, a plane descended from the clouds and taxied for a while before
coming to a slow stop. The roar of the engine disappeared.
Frank did not enter the airport. Instead, he waited in the parking lot. He leaned against the car door
leisurely and smoked. Half of the cigarette that was between his fingers was already gone. Smoke
covered his face, making his features look hazy.
At the exit, a man in a dark brown trench coat and black sunglasses came out. In his arms was a little
boy in a black leather jacket and a pair of black sunglasses too.
A woman in a floral dress and a beige-colored windbreaker was beside him. She was holding the
man’s hand. Both man and woman were
10:25)
pushing suitcases. The woman was wearing light purple sunglasses.
Frank immediately saw the high-profile family. The people around them also turned to stare at the
good-looking family. They drew glances
wherever they went. “This way.” He waved.
Trevon narrowed his eyes behind his glasses and teased, “You’re not very smart, are you? Are you
really welcoming us? Is this what Joseph instructed you to do?”
Frank ignored his ridicule with equal disdain. He took the suitcase from Natalie and pinched Jasper’s
dashing face. “You’re quite handsome. Be content, Trevon. I sacrificed my sleep to pick you up.”
Trevon’s thin lips curled up slightly. He placed the child in Natalie’s arms and followed Frank to put the
suitcases in the trunk. Frank had driven his own Porsche to the airport. The car was parked at the
Turner Manor in Sapphire City when he was not there.
Natalie had already opened the door of the back seat and got in. “Jasper, what did I teach you? You
have to greet people when you see them. Call him Uncle Frank, understand?”
Jasper replied calmly, “Okay.”
When Frank got into the driver’s seat and Trevon sat in the front passenger seat, Jasper, who was
sitting behind with Natalie, called out softly, “Uncle Frank.”
Frank, who was about to start the car, paused. He turned around and smiled. “Hey, you’re much more
polite than your father. I’ll reward you with a gift when we get home.”
“Do you think of yourself as Santa Claus? If it is a last-minute present, you can forget about fooling my
son with that,” Trevon reminded as he casually put on his seatbelt.
“Don’t worry. I’m more trustworthy than you.”
Natalie listened to the two of them banter back and forth. Neither of them was willing to be outdone.
She was used to it. She carried her son and sat quietly in the backseat. She did not intend to
participate in the childish verbal battle..
Because there was a child in the car, Frank drove at a moderate speed. He did not apply any sudden
brakes. Trevon and Natalie, both of whom knew how to drive, sensed his thoughtfulness.
The car reached the Turner Manor in no time. As soon as the car
10 250
stopped, the people from the house came out to welcome them.
Especially Emma, who had always been calm. She strode towards them in wide strides.
She hurriedly opened the door of the backseat and carried Jasper out from the backseat. Emma was
overjoyed. “Let Grandma Emma take a look at you. You’re even more handsome again. Did you miss
me? Who bought these sunglasses for you? Why does it look so good?”
Jasper wrapped his arms around Emma’s neck. “Daddy bought it.” Then, he pointed at Trevon, who
had just gotten out of the car, and indicated that both their sunglasses were the same.
“Emma, Mrs. Yamin.”
Emma carried the child and walked into the house. “Hello. Come on in. The sun is a little hot outside.”
Ava followed behind to tease Jasper. “You haven’t greeted me yet. If you don’t say that you miss me, I
won’t give you a gift later.”
“Auntie Ava.”
Upon hearing Jasper’s voice, Ava touched his little face dotingly. “I’ll give you a gift later. We can go
upstairs and take a look secretly, okay?” Jasper nodded and added, “Uncle Frank also said that he
would give me a gift.”
“Is it the same?”
Ava subconsciously looked at Frank and asked in a questioning tone, “Have you agreed to give Jasper
a toy? Is it the plane in my room?”
The last time Natalie shared with Ava the matter of Trevon repairing the plane, Ava went to Sapphire
City Mall the next day to buy a cool limited edition plane and hid it.
Frank was carrying Natalie’s luggage. “Yes. He called me Uncle Frank.”
“Uncle Frank?” she thought.
The little kid was really sensible. “Alright. Then let… your Uncle Frank give you another gift. There’ll be
two. Alright, are you happy?”
Natalie walked in with Emma. Angie saw that the living room had become crowded with people. She
sat down and did not disturb everyone from catching up.
“He’s beyond happy. The moment he arrived, he already had two toys. Ava hid gifts for him every time.
Before he came this time, he said that
10:25
Auntie Ava definitely had gifts for him. He’s been looking forward to it for a long time. He’s very shrewd.
Yesterday, Theo asked him if he wanted to come. He said yes.”
At this point, Joseph came downstairs. He had heard the commotion in the living room. When he saw
Frank carrying the suitcases upstairs, he helped him carry them up. Trevon acted as if this was his
home. He went straight upstairs to his and Natalie’s room.
Downstairs, there was a lot of laughter and harmony in the house. Everyone’s faces were filled with
smiles. From time to time, they would say a few words.
When Frank was done carrying the suitcases upstairs, he went
downstairs. He did not sit down on the couch but leaned against the door leisurely. He looked at the
sight in the living room in boredom. When he saw Ava smiling so happily, he could not help but smile.
It could be deduced that Ava really liked children.
The commotion downstairs was so loud that it woke Stella, who had been sleeping extremely soundly.
She rubbed her eyes and came downstairs. Her eyes were not fully open. She had already forgotten
where she was and thought that she was back at home.
She went downstairs in her pajamas in a daze. When she finished yawning and opened her eyes…
Everyone in the living room was looking at her disheveled appearance. Stella froze on the stairs. She
didn’t hesitate for a second and she rushed back to her room. The door slammed shut.
Downstairs in the living room, Angie was speechless. She kept repeating in her head, “She’s my
biological daughter.”
Angie was so embarrassed with her daughter’s behavior that she could barely catch her breath.
It seemed that she would have to prepare some quick-acting heart pills when she brought the girl out in
the future..
