Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 602

The funeral of Theo may be over, but the lingering sadness at the Wilson's residence persisted. Every

little memory of him kept reminding everyone of his presence.

In the dining room, Theo's usual seat remained untouched. No one in the entire Wilson's residence had

moved it. Every day during meals, Mary still placed the utensils as usual. Both Mary and Gage visited

the cemetery every day.

This atmosphere made Lena miss Jenny and Barron. She quietly visited Barron's grave and stayed for

half a day.

When she returned, Lena had made up her mind. She planned to continue taking care of the Foster's

residence and not let the house be deserted. Upon hearing Lena's decision, Natalie strongly objected,

but Lena had made up her mind.

In the end, Tucker said that he also wanted to stay in the Foster's residence for a period of time. He

said that he always wanted to enter the Foster's residence when he was young, but his grandfather

had a rule against it. He could only hide in a corner and watch the house. Natalie understood that his

words and decision were just to reassure her.

Having listened to the arguments, Trevon eventually arranged for a servant from the Wilson's residence

to take care of Lena and Tucker's daily needs at the Foster's residence. This decision satisfied both

Lena and Natalie.

The Roberts family's villa.

Princess-like Ava sat on the sofa, reporting today's situation to her mother who was far away in

Sapphire City. Grace came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of fruits.

Facing the camera turned toward her daughter-in-law, she greeted, "Ava is doing well today. She

walked for half an hour."

On the screen, Emma said with a gentle smile, "It's good to move around a bit. Frank, don't spoil her

too much. It's better for her to move when she feels comfortable and rest when she's tired."

Frank, sitting beside Ava, nodded. "Yes, I will."

Daniel added, "Dad and Mom plan to come five days before your due date, but you need to report the

situation at any time. If there's any change, we'll come earlier. Plans are subject to change, got it?"

Ava nodded vigorously. "Got it, got it. Don't worry. Didn't my parents-in-law also report to you every

day? You even get double the reports from us. Are you still not reassured?"

"We won't keep anything from you. We'll have you come over in advance," said Grace.

William said, "That's right. I'm still looking forward to playing chess with you. I felt too saddened at

Theo's funeral last time, and I didn't have the heart to play chess. Let's have a good match once Ava

gives birth."

Daniel readily agreed to the couple's double guarantee. "Okay."

After the agreement was settled, Ava took the phone and hung up. Grace handed the fruit to Frank,

saying, "The kiwi and cherry tomatoes today are quite fresh. Try them. If they're good, I'll bring some

more tomorrow after work."

Inside the plate, there were not only two kinds of fruits but also apples, oranges, blueberries, and

cherries, all very fresh.

Grace fed her in a different way every day. Although there were only a few types of fruits, when

combined by Grace, they really could be served in a unique way every week. After coming to Athana

for several days, Ava's face had become a bit more rounded. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Even Frank, who had lost weight after staying up for several nights, had gained weight again.

Just as Ava was feeding a slice of orange to Frank, the voice of Rose sounded at the door, "Ava, don't

feed my brother anymore. Look, he's gained a whole circle of weight."

Frank glared at his incoming sister and retorted, "Mind your own business."

Following behind, Edward smiled politely. When Grace saw her daughter and son-in-law entering, she

hurriedly went forward to take the child from Edward's hands, affectionately rubbing the child's

forehead.

Harper said, "Grandma."

Grace smiled and responded, "Oh, what would you like to eat? Why don't you come over for dinner?"

Rose casually tossed her handbag next to Frank, then sat down beside Ava. Frank tried to pull her

away, but Rose slapped his hand away, saying, "Hey, I still have an empty seat here. Don't worry, I'm a

doctor."

Frank ignored his sister, instead, he neatly arranged the chain of the handbag on the sofa.

William tilted his head and kept whispering to his grandson. Harper nodded and shook his head at

times.

Rose glared at his brother who doted on his wife and replied to Grace, "I got off work too late, and

since my in-laws are going on a trip tomorrow, we decided to have dinner at home."

Ava placed the fruit in front of Grace and smiled as she asked Rose's son. "Harper, what do you want

to eat?" She gestured for the child to take it himself.

Harper looked at the fruit plate and stared at the little red tomato. He reached out to take it, and Rose

reminded him, "Say thank you to Aunt Ava."

"Thank you, Aunt Ava." Harper happily took the fruit and started eating. Ava was clearly trying to win

the child over.

Grace pulled out a tissue, ready to wipe the child's hands at any moment. "Your mother-in-law is

planning a trip?"

Before Rose could respond, Edward spoke up first, saying that until his parents returned, they would be

staying at the Roberts family's home. He added, "Rose bought two tickets for them to go on a trip."

"Yeah, Mom has been helping us take care of Harper all this time, so I thought of letting her take a few

days off," Rose explained. Mainly because she had a premonition that her second child was on the

way. Last time, they didn't take any contraceptive measures, and she wasn't sure if she was pregnant

or not.

Rose had a feeling that she was likely pregnant.

As for why they didn't take any contraceptive measures, it was actually a trap set by Rose. She hid all

the contraceptives in the house and stuck to Edward, claiming it was the safe period. She even used a

professional tone to assure him that there was absolutely no chance of getting pregnant.

After some persuasion, Edward still did not agree. In the end, they came up with an unsurprising

method. When Edward was about to reach his climax, he planned to step back. However, Rose

grabbed him and refused to let him get up no matter how hard he tried to pull himself away.

Recalling her actions, Rose felt a sense of accomplishment. Although Edward had ultimately been

swayed by her, she realized that this method couldn't be used again after this success. Considering

Ava's ability to conceive twins, there must be some secret between her and her husband. Rose quietly

planned to ask them for advice when they decided to have a third child in the future.

Grace did not have any other thoughts. Instead, she felt that her daughter had done the right thing.

After Rose started working, her child was mostly taken care of by her in-laws due to her limited

availability. "It's quite good. Rose should do this."

After finishing the red tomatoes, Harper didn't eat anything else. Instead, he went to the side to play

with the balance bike, falling down and getting back up repeatedly. His perseverance was definitely

impressive.

A group of people on the sofa looked on, feeling the pain of each fall. Frank chuckled lightly and said,

"Your resilience is truly not wasted. Clearly, it was all in the genes."

As soon as Frank spoke, his arm was hit by a throw pillow. "What are you saying? When did I become

resilient? I was quite ladylike when I was a child, right?" She turned to look at Grace.

Grace found it difficult to respond to this statement. Having played with Frank since she was a child,

Rose was indeed a bit more resilient than the average girl. However, to save her face, Grace simply

agreed, "Hmm."

Rose remained silent. Wasn't her mother's perfunctory answer a disguised admission?

Edward pressed his fist against his nose and smiled faintly. Then, he looked at his son. Coincidentally,

Harper had fallen again, and Edward slightly frowned.

Harper was a resilient child. He didn't allow anyone to help him when he fell. If anyone tried to help

him, he was sure to put up a fight. Therefore, the family had a tacit understanding to pretend not to see

the little guy when he fell. Unless it appeared to be unsafe, someone would step forward to guide him.

However, he was all within the safe range that they could see.

Ava said, "I think Harper will definitely be a strong person in the future. Isn't resilience the key trait for

every successful person? I believe he will have a bright future."

"Oh my..." Rose's nails happened to almost scratch Ava's leg.

"Speak if you want to, but stay calm."

Frank cautioned Rose about her scratching. As in her excitement, Rose's nails were already on Ava's

legs. In reality, Rose knew her limits.

Rose was puzzled. It was the belly that was pregnant, not the legs. Was it necessary to be so nervous?

Was she so delicate that even a gentle touch was not allowed?

In fact, Frank was afraid that if his sister got too excited, she might accidentally hit Ava's belly without

realizing it. He was just worried about what might happen.

"Frank, I think you've got pregnancy symptoms. Ava seems pretty normal. Why don't you come with me

to the hospital tomorrow for a check-up? See how good Ava's words are, then reflect on how many

good words you say."

If Frank were to write an essay, there might not be a single good word to underline with a wavy line in

the entire essay.

After saying that, she insisted on giving Ava a high-five to express agreement. Ava didn't hit the mark

properly, and Rose hurriedly pressed her hand and gave it a loud clap.

Frank couldn't be bothered with his sister's nonsense. His wife was pregnant, and if he wasn't attentive,

who would be? Did he want to end up like Trevon, pretending to be a second-time groom? Even

though Trevon's second marriage was fake, without Mr. Wilson's deception, Trevon would have long

become a real remarried man. A living example was right there, he had to tread carefully.

If Trevon knew that Frank treated him as the wrong model every time, he would probably fight with

Frank.

William received an impromptu call and hastily went to the office. Frank offered to accompany him, but

William declined, telling him to stay with Ava and emphasizing that nothing was more important than

being with his pregnant wife.

In the end, he added a remark, saying his good genes couldn't mutate, and that a man should cherish

his wife.

In the evening, Edward's family settled in the Roberts family house. William returned home after

everyone had gone to sleep, and Grace was accustomed to waiting for him in the study, a habit she

had developed over the years.

When William used to go out for work in his younger days, Grace would never go to sleep until he

returned. It was only when she saw him safely back home that she could finally fall asleep.

Now that their lives were better, this habit had become deeply ingrained and could not be changed.

William entered the study, saying, "Why are you still not sleeping? You don't have to wait for me every

night now."

Grace responded lightly, "It's a habit." These simple words were enough to warm William's heart,

making him feel that his efforts were worthwhile. Unable to resist, he leaned down and kissed her on

the cheek.

"Are Rose and the others asleep?" William took off his coat and hung it on the rack in the study. He

then put his arm around Grace's shoulder, preparing to go to their room. As soon as they stepped out,

they bumped into their son.

Frank was going downstairs to prepare a late-night snack because Ava was hungry. She expressed a

craving for chicken noodle soup.

Seeing his son, Grace instructed, "Ava tends to wake up late in the morning. You should sleep early at

night. I won't be going to the company tomorrow. You can go to the company for a few hours in the

morning. When Ava wakes up, you can come back."

Frank knew that Grace would be taking care of Harper at home. He also quite liked his nephew staying

at home. "Sure, how about chicken noodle soup? Want some?"

When he said that, William suddenly felt hungry. "Sure, it's been a long time since I had supper made

by my son. Grace, bring me a bowl, but make it a little less for me."

Grace smiled and said, "Sure, half a bowl."

"Alright," Frank replied, then he knocked on Edward's door. Draмanоvеls.com

When the door opened, Edward looked puzzled to see the three people standing outside. Before he

could speak, Frank asked directly, "Supper? Chicken noodle soup."

In fact, Edward was not accustomed to eating supper, but unable to resist Rose's enthusiastic

recommendation, he also developed an appetite. "Sure."

Frank felt that asking was unnecessary, so he just prepared a large pot. "Alright, I'll add a bit more for

those who can eat more, and less for those who can't. You can help yourselves."

With that, he strode downstairs to the kitchen to prepare supper. Edward stood at the door,

contemplating whether to help. "I'll go down and take a look."

Rose said, "Go on, go on. You can secretly learn a bit of the technique. My brother's spaghetti skills are

truly top-notch." Saying this, Rose had a nostalgic look on her face.

Edward replied, "Yeah."

William asked, "'Is Harper asleep?"

"Yes, he played too wildly during the day, and now he's sleeping soundly."

Grace did not respond to this remark. She turned and left, leaving behind the self-admiring father and

daughter. "I'll go downstairs and check on Frank."
