Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 445

A few hours later, Frank’s flight successfidly landed at Athana’s airport. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Athana’s weather was very good. The sky was clear, and the white clouds in the sky were like cotton.

They looked soft, reminding him of Ava’s personality. He had just reached Athana and was already

missing her a little.

The Turner family’s bodyguards wanted to follow Frank down the plane, but they were stopped by him.

“Thank you. Do you want to go to the hotel to rest? There’s no need to send me back home.”

The bodyguards stood up in unison. ‘Mr. Roberts, this is our duty. Mr. Turner has instructed us to send

you home. This is our mission.”

The bodyguards‘ stubbornness inade Frank very exasperated. He had experienced loyalty from Pat

before, and now he was experiencing it again. “Thank you.”

The bodyguards said, “Mr. Roberts, you’re too kind. It’s our duty

Exasperated, Frank shook his head again. He didn’t even have a new word to describe this. He could

only ask the bodyguards to send him back to the Roberts family. When they sent Frank back, he took

out a few cigarettes from the car and gave them to the bodyguards.

They accepted the cigarettes from Frank.

As soon as Frank stepped into the living room, the phone in his back pocket rang. He put down his

suitcase, took out his phone, and hung up. The call was from Hackett.

After hanging up the phone, he stood in the living room and sent a message to Ava. [Baby Ava, I’m

back in Athana. Don’t cry. I’ll pick you up when Hackett gets married. Before that time, I can also pick

you up when you want to come to Athana, or I’ll go look for you.]

The message was not immediately replied. Frank guessed that Ava was probably still sleeping

because she was too tired last pight.

He casually pushed her luggage in and walked straight to the sofa. He was indeed a little tired after

sitting on the plane for so long, coupled with the fact that he had expended a lot of energy the entire

night.

Frank yawned and instructed the servant, “Give me a cup of coffee.”

The servant said respectfully, “Yes, Mr. Roberts.”

When the servant brought the coffee over, Frank asked again, “Did William and Grace go to the

company?”

The servant stood upright. “Yes, Mr. Roberts.”

Frank waved his hand to indicate that there was nothing else. Then, he took a sip of coffee and lay on

the couch. He dialed the number that had just been hung up and said impatiently, “Speak.”

On the other end of the call, Hackett was in a good mood. “You’re up. The scenery of Sapphire City is

indeed more beautiful than Athana. It can even make you wake up early. Actually, I’m just trying to see

if I can get through.”

Unexpectedly, Hackett’s call was returned after he had been hung up. When he fell in love, Frank’s

temper improved a lot.

Frank rubbed his temples impatiently. For a moment, he regretted returning this guy’s call. “Are you

bored?”

Hackett smiled obsequiously and quickly explained, “How can that be? 1 just wanted to ask when my

best man–to–be would be back.”

A word spilled out from Frank’s lips. “Athana.”

“Fuck. When did you fucking come back? It’s only past eight o’clock. You didn’t look for us when you

came back last night. You’ve really thrown us out of the window since you have your Little Princess.

You’re too biased.”

He had no idea that Frank had returned in the morning and continued harping on it. He tried his best to

complain that Frank had no sense of brotherhood so that he could move on to the goal of the call.

Frank acted as if he did not hear his nonsense and automatically blocked it out. “If you have something

to say, say it. If not, get lost.”

Seeing that Frank was in a hurry to hang up, Hackett quickly got to the point. “Meet at Lithern Club

tonight.”

This time. Frank did not refuse. Instead, he agreed readily. “Okay

Before Hackett could react, Frank had already hung up.

After hanging up, Frank looked at his phone and realized that Aya still had not replied to his message.

He simply placed the phone on his stomach.

The coffee didn’t work. He was a little sleepy. Frank took off his shoes and lay on the couch. He folded

his hands behind his head and narrowed his eyes.

1049)

At this moment, bis mind was filled with Ava’s bright smiles.

The servants knew that Frank had a cold personality, so they did not dare to ask him if he wanted a

blanket. The servants in the Roberts family were very well–behaved and there would not be a case

where a female servant would attempt a seduction. There were two reasons. The first was that the

employees were personally chosen by Grace. It could be said that she had investigated the potential

employees thoroughly. The second was that all the employees were relatively older.

In the dark room. the person on the bed subconsciously touched the spot besitle her. She closed her

eyes and felt her hand around

A few seconds later, she realized that it was empty. Even the temperature was no longer warm. Her

palm could feel the Coolitess of the bedsheet.

With that, the coolness reached her heart through her palm and turned into a trace of disappointment.

The soft translucent curtains draped down because the screen windows were tightly shut. Her arm

reached out from under the blanket and reached for the phone on the bedside table according to her

memory.

The light from her phone stimulated her so much that she had no choice but to squint her beautiful

eyes to relieve the sudden intense light. She was not used to it. After squinting for about half a minute,

she opened her sleepy eyes to look at the time on her phone. It was 11:32.

Why did she sleep so late? Frank should be in her room at this time. Where did he go?

Ava was already used to Frank lying motionlessly beside her while she slept and waited for her to wake

up. For some reason. she panicked and quickly opened a message on her phone.

As expected, the moment she finished reading the message, tears kept flowing down her face. She did

not cry out loud. She just stared at her phone in a daze. Her vision was blurred by tears.

Yes, she was just quietly waiting for today’s sadness to dissipate. After that, she would feel better.

Didn’t they agree last night that he would go back today? She knew it. She had known about it.

However, there was no farewell for them.

Ava was trying to adjust her emotions as soon as possible. She could reply to the message after

adjusting her emotions. However, the phone on the bed seemed to be deliberately set against her. It

kept ringing as her blanket became very wet from her tears.

After crying for a while, she raised her hand and wiped her tears with the back of her hand. She turned

on her phone. She originally thought that they were Frank’s messages, but it turned out that it was

messages from the Fairy Fortress.

Before she could think of a reply to Frank’s message, she opened the group chat message. [My

lovelies and darlings, I’m getting married soon. I’ll remind you in the group chat every day in the future.]

Natalie said, [Don’t. I Don’t want to remember how many times you married.]

Sherri also texted, [Get lost. I advise you to restrain your arrogance. My bridesmaid position is still

empty. Hmph!]

Originally, when Natalie got married, Sherri had planned for her best friend to be her bridesmaid.

However, recently, she could not bear it when she saw Natalie’s gradually expanding stomach. Even

Juana did not agree.

After all, Natalie was pregnant with the children of the Wilson family. More importantly, there were two

precious babies.

If anything happened, Sherri’s wedding would probably not have been held successfully. It was better

to let her sit at the

table.

Natalie received Sherri’s threat. [Alright, it’s my fault. Please calm down.]

Rose joined in. [ It’s all because you guys had to choose the same time to be pregnant. If the timings

were different, you wouldn’t have bumped into each other. I’m dying of laughter.]

Sherri sent Rose a dynamic video of a man carrying a long sword, so long that the end of the sword

touched the ground when the man was walking.

Rose cooperated and found a moving picture that showed a person trembling. The frequency of the

shaking almost shattered the screen.

Sherri was very satisfied with Rose’s reply. [Yes. Seeing that you admitted your mistake in time, I’ll

forgive you.]

Natalie couldn’t help but yank her best friend down from cloud nine. [Don’t go too far. She’s your future

sister–in–law. Don’t be so impudent.]

Sherri replied, [Give me a break, can’t you? Let’s go to the canteen to eat. Let’s go. We will protect you

like bodyguards.]

Rose texted. [Alright. You can make the decisions since you’re getting married.]

Natalie said, [Tsk. She’s getting full of herself]

Ava did not reply in the group chat. She looked at the messages in the group chat again and smiled.

She exited the group

10-12

chat and opened Frank’s message. She lay under the blanket and replied, I thought you were

dowristairs. Are you now in Athana?

She put on a relaxed tone, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and waited for his reply.

Actually, at this noment, Ava was afraid that Frank would call.

However, Frank, who might just be able to read her mind, did not call. Instead, he replied, (I’m afraid

you’ll cry, so I did not let you send me. Baby Ava, if you want to come to Athana, send me a message.

I’ll pick you up.)

Ava began to comfort Frank to reassure him. [No need. Isn’t Sherri getting married next month? I’m

going to be the bridesmaid. When the time comes, Mom and the others will have to go over.)

Frank guessed that Ava had already cried. [Okay. Are you feeling unwell?]

As soon as he said this, bashful thoughts from last night surged into Ava’s mind. She replied with a red

face, [No, I’m fine. What time did you arrive in Athana?]

Frank texted, 18 p.m.]

Ava really wanted to say that she could accept parting too, but she just needed a little time. However,

she did not say so in her message. [Alright, don’t leave so early in the future. We didn’t even kiss

goodbye.]

Frank agreed. [Okay.]

Seeing that the other party was not typing, Frank panicked and typed again. [Baby Ava, your mom said

that when you all come for Hackett’s wedding, you will be staying with us. I’ll show you Grace boxing

then.]

Unknowingly, Frank was speaking more when he was with Ava. He was learning to ease her

unhappiness.

Ava said. [Really? Then I’ll have to plan what date to go and what gift to bring for her. I’ll have to think

about it carefully.] Frank texted, (There’s no hurry. It’s fine if you don’t buy it. Grace doesn’t care.]

That definitely wouldn’t do. How could she not buy something on her first visit? Ava was already

thinking about what to buy.

The two of them chatted for another half an hour before Frank finally urged her to eat. Only then did

they stop this conversation reluctantly.

She put down her phone and walked to the window barefooted.

When she opened the screen window, it was as if she had been reborn. Her tears had already dried up,

and the bright sunlight refracted onto her face. She closed her eyes to feel the warm sunlight, and the

gloom in her heart gradually dissipated. The future was promising. She just had to wait.

When she opened the window, the breeze caressed Ava’s face as if it was comforting her. The curtains

danced with the wind.” and her sad emotions drifted to every corner of the courtyard with the wind. The

entire room seemed to fall exceptionally quiet with her.

After sorting out her emotions, she turned on her phone again and replied to the messages in the Fairy

Fortress. [I look orward to going to Athana.]

The dream–like lights kept changing. The tall glasses at the bar reflected the gorgeous lights, The men

and women on the dance floor kept dancing, rolling their hips. The flirtatious vibe teinporarily made the

people forget all their troubles.

They were immersed in the deafening world of music, addicted and intoxicated, unable to distinguish

reality from beautiful dreams

Upstairs, three men, who were dressed similarly, sat in a booth on the second floor. It was 10 at night

and they were in a noisy environment, but it was as if they were isolated from the world. There were

several bodyguards standing at the stairs. and their postures declared loudly that no one was allowed

to disturb them.

Ever since Trevon got married, the three of them had not had a good gathering. At most, they would

bump into each other at the entrance of the hospital, let alone come to a bar. It was one of the places

that they did not go anymore.

Tonight’s gathering was arranged by Hackeit. Trevon was worried about Natalie being alone at home.

For the past few days. Jasper had been staying at the Wilson’s residence, while the two of them

remained at the Phoenix Manor.

In order to prevent him from worrying, Natalie suggested going to the Wilson’s residence to accompany

Jasper. She also wanted to visit his grandfather and help take his blood pressure. However, Trevon

knew that Natalie was giving him space.

Looking at the dissipation on the first floor, Trevon crossed his legs and placed one hand on the couch.

He peeled a lemon candy with one hand and stuffed it into his mouth. He gestured to Hackett, who was

sitting opposite him and beside Frank. “Speak. After you’re done, I’ll go home to accompany my wife.

Hackett was wearing the same ostentatious style today. He was wearing a rose–red short–sleeved

shirt, white pants, and a pair of sneakers. His hair was even sprayed with gel.

He appeared extremely fanciful.

Compared to Hackett, Trevon was dressed much simpler. He had gray pants and a white short–

sleeved shirt. The same for Frank, who was also very simple. He had black pants and a white short–

sleeved shirt.

Trevon ate candy and Frank smoked.

Frank took the cigarette box from the table and took out a cigarette with his fingers. He put it between

his lips and lit it. Instantly, the smoke filled Hackett’s nose and choked him.

Smelling the smoke, Hackett’s smoking addiction kicked in. He took out a cigarette from Frank’s

cigarette box and lit it. “Can you blow your smoke over there? I’m choking

“Why don’t you show me someone who doesn’t exhale?” Frank kicked Hackett, who was beside him.

Since he had a favor to ask of the two of them, Hackett had no choice but to shut up.

Frank raised his chin and asked Trevon, who was facing him, “Go on. Have one too.”

Trevon was no longer addicted to smoking. He said concisely, “I quit.”

In that case, Frank did not force him. He casually threw the cigarette box back on the table.

Hackett grinned and took out the proposal for his wedding. He had rushed it out with Sherri for a few

nights and worked overtime to get the advertising company to produce small notebooks for it.

Inside were full of details that Sherri wanted to try out. A once–in–a–lifetime wedding had to be agreed

to. Take a look. I’ve ordered three sets of best man outfits with Sherri. Take a look and see which style

you want.”

As he spoke, he placed the two notebooks in front of the two groomsmen.

Trevon’s mouth was filled with lemon flavor. The candy was a little sour. He casually took the notebook

and said. “The candy is too sour.”

Frank took a deep puff of his cigarette and took the notebook with one hand. “No one asked you to eat

it. You get it for free and yet still have the cheek to complain.”

Hackett thought, “True. Frank’s cigarette is milder and yet I don’t even express my opinion.”

Trevon held the notebook with both hands and propped his elbow on the couch. He leaned sideways.

“How many programs did you prepare? It’s so thick. Isn’t your wife pregnant?

I’ve already reduced it by a lot.” If he hadn’t stopped Sherri, it would have been even thicker.

Trevon was still feeling the weight and wondering if Sherri was faking her pregnancy. He did not open

the notebook. Frank opened it first and expressed his opinion. “Did your wife transmigrate from the

past?”

Trevon narrowed his eyes and became interested. A wedding that could make Frank ask that question

was probably unique. He opened it and took a look.

The only thought in his mind was that he was glad that he did not agree to share a wedding with Sherri.

How was this a wedding? It was like shooting a soap opera. No wonder Frank asked this question.

It’s really possible that she wants to fulfill her dream. Are you sure there’s no time machine under your

wife’s bed?”

Trevon couldn’t help but laugh when he read the information. However, when he flipped to the best

man suit, his face darkened, “Hackett, you don’t want to get married, right?”

Frank had already finished reading the information. He placed the information on his knees and said,

“Just tell us how much haired and resentment you have for us today.

Two dissatisfied gazes were fixed on Hackett, who was smiling obsequiously. It’inade his hair stand on

end, but he had no choice. His wife wanted such a wedding, and his own mother and father had

agreed. As someone without a family status, he had no chance to abject.

Besides, the plan he saw was quite good. It was very unique.

He quite liked it too,

Hackett met their dissatisfied gazes and panicked. He quickly picked up the information and explained.

He was afraid that his two best friends would quit. He had originally made an appointment with Chris

tonight. However, Chris said that he had surgery and could not come over. Regarding the matter of the

best man, Chris readily agreed and reported his size.

It was mainly because Chris was too busy. Hackett did not have time to explain what the best man suit

was. Chris had already reported the size and was very cooperative.

He was so cooperative that Hackett felt a little embarrassed.

He felt guilty for tricking an honest person.

Hackett began to explain, “Look, the first set is the uniform of servants. I put it in the proposal. I didn’t

plan to let you wear

it.”

Trevon and Frank had their thoughts plainly written on their faces. If he dared let them try it on, they

would hurt him. Hackett felt a chill down his spine. He coughed. “I know you guys definitely won’t wear

it. It’s mainly because we want to show we have prepared for it well that we put it in. The second set is

the guard uniform in yellow. Do you like it?”

Hackett liked the yellow set very much. However, when they met the two sharp gazes, it was obvious

that they did not like it.

He retracted his gaze nervously and said to himself, “Alright, if you don’t like this, then the last one

should be okay. The last set is still a little cool. I chose this for a long time. It’s guaranteed to be

handmade.”

Hackett continued to boast, saying, “This third set is the uniform of the royal guard. Look at this color.

It’s so beautiful in blue. Also, the pattern and color are cool looking Look at this belt.”

Frank crossed his legs and picked up the notebook again to take a look. It looked alright. He looked

sideways at Hackett beside him and asked, “Those who are in the know knew that you’re getting

married. Those who don’t know will think that you’re a salesperson from some wedding dress company.

Is this the pink bridesmaid dress?”

“Look at this top. It’s pink and the skirt is light blue. It’s a perfect match for your royal guard uniform,

right? Take a closer look.

Trevon could not bear to look at Hackett’s self–praises. He also knew that this fellow was afraid that

they would not want to wear it. He picked up the notebook and looked at it again. “You shouldn’t be

selling properties. You should be selling wedding dresses. You’re in the wrong profession.”

Seeing that their expressions had softened, Hackett became bolder. “Since Natalie can’t participate,

the number of best man and bridesmaids is not compatible. They must be in pairs. I called Stella. Is

there any objection?”

Trevon said indifferently, “You’re the one getting married, not me

Frank didn’t say anything. Anyway, his bridesmaid was Ava, so he didn’t care who Hackett called.

For a moment, it was quiet. The three of them were looking at the information and agreed. Although the

three of them were arguing, they would still risk their lives for each other when it came to important

matters. For example, letting Trevon wear such clothes to be Hackett’s best man was enough to show

how deep their relationship was.

After a while, Trevon realized the problem. With candy in his month, he said, “You’re not ostentatious

enough. Are you and your wife acting as a down–and–out young lady and young gentleman, or the

crown prince and princess?”

Hackett said affirmatively. “The crown prince and princess.”

Trevon sneered. “Have you ever seen a crown prince with three pairs of people when he gets married?

Your crown prince is so miserable. Did he just return from a trip to the slums?”

After hearing Trevon’s words, Frank couldn’t hold it in anymore. The cigarette between his lips was

trembling. He spread his hands and placed them on the sofa. “I’ll get the men.”

Trevon gave Frank a sideways glance. “I’ll get the men.”

Hackett did not understand what the two of them meant. It was only when he met the two pairs of eyes

that looked at him as if he was a fool that he understood. A light came on in his brain and he said, “You

guys are planning to support my wedding. Thank you!

Next, Hackett watched from the sidelines as Trevon and Frank were at odds.

Trevon was the first to speak. He crossed his legs and swallowed the sour taste in his mouth. “Why

should I get the women?”

Frank pointed out something at once. He wants someone who can square dance, not pole dance. My

people from the Lither Club can’t do it.

Naturally, he was referring to Hackett.

These words made Hackett and Trevon laugh. The three of them smiled at the same time.

“Where am I going to get the women? If I find a bunch of women, will you answer to my wife?” Trevon

asked Frank.

Frank said, “Your wife is not my wife. Why do I have to answer to her?”

Seeing that the two of them were both thinking of getting men, Hackett thought of a good idea. “Wait a

minute, don’t be agitated. I have a good idea.

Trevon and Frank said in unison, “Speak.

Hackett fixed his gaze on Trevon and met his eyes with a smile. Trevon, why don’t you lend me your

company’s secretary department?

“Look. Aren’t they being paid all the same? Frank curled his lips and said slyly.

Trevon gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t you fucking have female secretaries in the Roberts Group?”

Frank continued, “Do you think Grace’s secretary is reliable?”

No one had the upper hand, but relatively speaking, Grace didn’t have any reliable and delicate women

around her. All of them were strong women. Those who could work under Grace couldn’t be weak.

The Roberts Group had plain employees too, but they were afraid that they would be unreliable. After

all, it was Hackett’s wedding that day. It would not be worth it if something went wrong.

On the other hand, Trevon’s secretarial team was different. They all looked remarkable. Back then,

Hackett had been envious. He kept asking where Trevon had poached a team that looked even better

than celebrities. Their temperaments and heights were about the same. If they all wore maid
