Chapter 243
Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
Chapter 243 The sound of the meat sizzling on the barbecue pan, and pulling cheese on the pizza, were the greatest temptations for those with no control over their appetite. At the same time, it marked the beginning of guilt for those trying to lose weight.
Sherri and Ava loved such lively gatherings the most.
The table was rectangular, and the size of the table was just right. It was enough to accommodate everyone, and it did not seem crowded.
Trevonâs future family of three. Ava and Rose, sat in the same tow Hackettâs future family of three sat in the row opposite, together with Frank, Terrell, and Jim.
Everyone at the table was overflowing with smiles. Only Frankâs expression did not change. He was like a robot, quietly cating the barbecued meat.
His expression was like a wooden block As the host of this gathering. Trevon set down his tableware and raised his glass, gesturing to everyone. In a deep voice, he said, âItâs rare for all of us to be together. Letâs make a toastâ
Upon hearing this, everyone at the table subconsciously picked up the glasses in their hands. Some were juices, and some were wine. Even Ruby and Jasper picked up the glasses containing fruit juice.
Hackett smiled and continued. âItâs rare for Mr. Wilson to be so generous and invite us on a trip. This cup has to be raised.â
Frank slowly put down his tableware and raised his glass in Trevonâs direction. âItâs rare to see you eat with your left hand. You have to drinkâ
Trevon Wilson, Natalie thought. âTheyâre indeed the best of friends. Taking every opportunity to tease each other, always wanting to tease each other to deathâ
After clinking glasses, everyone raised their heads and emptied the glasses. Then. Ava suddenly stood up and raised the drink in her hand She wanted to drink alcohol, but Natalie was afraid to let her drink it. Ultimately, she had no choice but to settle for a non-alcoholic beverage.
At this moment, it was as if she was standing on the podium to give a speech. She cleared her throat and said. âLadies and gentlemen, this is my first time coming to Athana. Iâm happy to be able to get to know all of you, especially Frank. I want to announce something in front of everyone.â
All the statements are progressively leading to the main topic gradually.
After pausing for a few seconds. Trevon seemed to have guessed what Ava wanted to say. The corners of his mouth curled into a beautiful smile as he looked at Frank Natalie tugged at Avaâs dress, signaling her not to speak out of turn. She then turned around, looking slightly worried at Trevon, but received a reassuring nod, indicating that she should stay calm.
Rose thought. âIs she going to make a public confession? That is so daring of her.â
Hackett and the others looked up at Ava, who suddenly stood up. Everyoneâs faces were waiting for Avaâs words. Their gossipy hearts were bursting, and they almost blurted out, âHurry up and say it.â
Only Frank was the calmest at the table. He was still eating the barbecued meat, drinking beer and beverages leisurely. It was unknown if he was indeed calm or pretending to be.
Ava glanced at Frank, who was eating, and said generously. âTve decided to pursue Frank from this day onwards...â
Frank, who was eating barbecued meat, suddenly choked. He coughed till his head hurt, and he felt very uncomfortable. âCough cough, cough, cough, cough..â
The cough interrupted Avaâs words. Hackett looked like he was watching a good show. âYouâre not sensible at all. How can you interrupt Avaâs confession! Where are your mannersâ
Then, Hackett turned around and wanted to continue listening to the gossip. He comforted Ava, who was standing. âAva, please continue. We like to continue listeningâ
After coughing for a whale, Frank finally recovered. He lost his appetite and put down his tableware. Leaning back heavily in his chair, he crossed his arms in front of his chest, as if saying, âGo on, continue.â
He looked at Ava with interest His straightforward gaze made Avaâs heart skip a beat. Her heart pounded, and her ears turned slightly red Ava gave herself a mental pep talk to avoid feeling awkward. She decided to take action on her decision because actions speak louder than words.
With a confident smile, she raised her glass towards Frank and said, âFrank, for the next couple of weeks, every single day Iâm in Athana will be a day I will be pursuing you. Are you ready to take it?â
After saying that, she raised her head and emptied the glass as though she was cheering herself on.
This was a challenge given to Frank in front of everyone. Where Ava would be pursuing Frank, and he has to accept it.
No one present did not admire Avaâs bravery. Only Natalie was worried. She was afraid that Frank would reject Ava in front of everyone. Ava might lose her confidence if it happened.
However, the result was unexpected. Frank did not refuse or agree.
After listening to Avaâs words, Frank picked up the tableware again and continued eating. It was as if the person who got confessed earlier was not him and did not care about the gazes everyone cast at him.
No one could figure out what Frank was thinking, and Ava didnât mind. Regardless of his attitude, she had her plan. If she could not win him over in the next few weeks, she would return to Sapphire City alone.
Rose sat beside Ava and gave her a big thumbs-up. âAva, Iâve never admired anyone in my life. Youâre the first. Only a blind person would not fall for you.â
After saying that, she even rolled his eyes at Frank, who was still eating All you know is cat. Did you die of hunger in your previous life?
Hackett and Sherri also gave Ava a thumbs-up. Wasnât she amazing? After all these years, no one has ever dared to confess to Frank so openly in front of others.
This guy is famous for not being interested in women. Otherwise, Lily Stuart from the Lithern Club would have succeeded. long ago.
Her feelings for Frank were obvious.
Natalie was restless. She glanced at Frank and only saw calmness in him. He was being confessed, but he was still eating happily as though nothing had happened.
Trevon noticed her concern. He pressed her nape gently with his left hand as if comforting her. He leaned closer to her ear, speaking in a lowered voice that only they could hear, âDonât worry. He did not reject Ava to prevent hurting her. This is the first time he has softened his approach. In the past, he would have been more cutting with his words, crushing others feelings.â
Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
ï¤Chapter 242 Natalie tilted her head and asked him if it was true, a mix of belief and doubt on her face. Trevon continued, âItâs true. The headliner from the Lithern Club had shown interest in Frank before, but he replied that they were like a boss-employee relationship, and if she didnât want to continue her job, she could go somewhere else.â
Natalie thought, âThis is ruthless. Although he didnât explicitly say he did not like her, the weight of his words conveyed. more than that. Itâs a clear message to the headliner from the Lithern Club that they will always have a boss-employee relationship and nothing more. Anyone with a brain can understand that, so Ava is quite lucky. Frank did not say a single word in response.â
Trevon looked at the woman in front of him. She was deep in her thoughts. He pinched the back of her nape and said, âWhat do you want to eat? Iâll get it for you.â
Natalie said, âIll get the food for you. You had only just learned how to use your left hand.â
âOkay, I do enjoy you taking care of me. Hopefully, I can also enjoy it in other aspects.â
Natalie blushed slightly at his flirtatious remark and lowered her gaze as she picked up some food from the barbecue pan and placed it on his plate, saying, âYou canât shut your mouth from eating, can you?â
Trevon continued to lower his body. âSure, use your mouth to guarantee it can be shut.â
Under the table, Natalie reached out and pinched his firm waist. Trevon did not feel any pain at all. Instead, the smile on his lips widened.
Hackett was sitting beside Frank. He said in disdain, âArenât you embarrassed? Ava confessed to you, but you didnât react at all.â
Frank said in a low voice, âIf itâs going to rain, it will. I could not stop Ava from confessing to me. It would be impolite to do so. I am a man of culture.â
Hackett wanted to say, âDo you have any words in your vocabulary that align with culture! You are just trying to flatter yourself.â
Sherri, Rose, and Ava were chatting enthusiastically with their heads close to each other. They were talking so loud that they did not hear Frankâs words.
