Chapter 327
Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
Chapter 327 In the end, Frank did not allow Ava to carry the metal bucket Instead, he placed the milkshake in the trunk.
Ava stood at the back of the car and looked at the metal bucket full of milkshakes. She was curious what Roseâs expression would be when she saw this. Frankâs actions might make Rose not want to drink milkshakes anymore.
While she was in a daze, her forehead was lightly flicked. A deep voice penetrated her eardrums, âGet in.â
âAlright.â Ava responded as she eagerly walked to the front passenger seat.
As soon as they got into the car Frank asked. Do you want to drink it now or later?â
âLetâs drink it at your house. Ava replied. Otherwise, it would be very awkward for Rose to drink alone. Moreover, she did not know how Rose would drink her the milkshake later. She could not possibly drink it from the bucket.
âMm Frank replied faintly.
After helping Ava fasten her seatbelt, he took the initiative to hold her hand tightly.
Avaâs petite face turned red again. She awkwardly touched her slightly red cars with her free hand and looked shyly at the man driving with one hand.
For some reason, she felt that Frank was very seductive.
The car drove steadily in the direction of Deepwater Bay. The both of them clasped their hands tightly. It was difficult for the two to part. They were feeling blissful by Avaâs surprise visit.
Avaâs surprise visit was something Frank did not expect. He initially planned to fly to Sapphire City after he had settled the issue, but the little girl caught him by surprise. She was fast and decisive.
Just like how she confessed to him in front of so many people.
After Rose hung up the call, she changed her clothes. The wind at night was comfortable but slightly chilly. She casually took a set of sportswear from her wardrobe and put it on. In any case, her brother had some of her clothes at his home. She did not have to worry about not having any clothes to change into tomorrow.
Rose took a sling bag and placed it over her left shoulder. It drooped over her like it would fall off the next moment. Then, she opened the door and went downstairs. She skipped down the stairs while nibbling on a cheese stick.
In the living room, Grace and William were still discussing something The two of them had different opinions and looked like they were debating. It was obvious that William was the less domineering one.
Rose threw her bag on her shoulder and pulled the chain with one hand. She stood behind her parents and tilted her head to look at the documents on the coffee table before saying. âGrace. William, Iâm going to sleep at my brotherâs place.â
The two of them turned around and looked at Rose. Grace was calmer and glanced at Rose for a while before leaning back on the sofa with her legs crossed and holding the documents.
William was a little more anxious than Grace. He asked. âWhy are you going to your brotherâs place? Isnât your brother coming back to sleep at night?
Are you staying at Lithern Club?â
Rose had a smile on her face. She deliberately placed her hands on the sofa and leaned closer to them before whispering. âBrother has to accompany my future sister-in-law.â
These words made the Roberts family and his wife lose their cool. However, Grace did not open her mouth and waited for William to speak. âYour future sister-in-law? Your brother found a girlfriend? When did this happen? Why didnât anyone say anything?
William felt that he had missed out on the million-dollar news. His son had already found a girlfriend, but he, the patriarch, was unaware of it. This did not go well with the well-informed Roberts family.
William was very depressed. He felt that he had deviated from the information chain.
Rose was unsurprised that her parents were ignorant that Frank was wooing Ava. Her brother was a solemn man, to begin with How could be announce that he was going after a girl? If she did not know Ava, she probably would not know either. âDonât be anxious. There will be a time for you to meet When the time is right, Frank will bring her over to meet you.â Rose saud casually with a tinge of smugness. She thought, âYou guys donât know, but I doâ
William was very curious about what lus future daughter-in-law looked like. He lowered her voice and gossiped, âBaby girl, tell Daddy about your sister-in-law.â
Besides the big shot and has identity as the head of the family, William was still a father. It was common for fathers to be curious about what type of women their sons were going after Although Grace was not as gossipy as William, her ears were perked up. She narrowed her eyes in anticipation of what Rose was about to say.
Rose thought momentarily and began to organize her words, âYes, she has to look beautiful. After all, Frank is very picky. Anyway, my future Sister-in-
lawâs family background, JQ, and educational background are great. Youâll be satisfied with her,
Sheâs a little young, and thereâs a big age gap between her and Frank.â
âYou guys donât mind the age gap, do you?â Rose continued probing.
William waved his hand as if his daughter would not believe him. He said affirmatively. âNo, no. As long as your brother likes her, itâs fine even if she hasnât graduated, right, Grace?â
After saying that, William even pointed his chin toward his wife, suggesting she should relent too.
Grace fiddled with the document and said calmly, âOur family doesnât have so many criteria. Her character comes first âDad, I think youâre amazing. How do you know that my future sister-in-law hasnât graduated?â Rose pretended to be surprised.
William was speechless. He had made the statement casually.
William regained his senses and asked, âJust how old is the future sister-in-law youâre talking about?â
âI think sheâs 22 years old. Sheâs a graduate student now. Frankâs seven years older than her, Rose replied after running it through her mind and finally said with certainty.
William muttered, âSheâs a little young, donât you think so. Grace? As long as Frank likes her, itâs fine.â
William tried to persuade Grace. He feared his wife would mind and interfere in his sonâs relationship again.
âOkay, Iâll send you to your brothers, Grace said to Rose. âOkayâ meant that she did not object to the relationship.
William almost leaned forward to kiss his wife when he heard that. He was relieved.
âThereâs no need to. You guys go about your business. Iâll get Tom to send me there. Bye bye. Continue, please continue,â Rose said as she threw her bag on her shoulder and waved her hand.
Rose always had bodyguards by her side. Even Roseâs driver, Tom, was good at fighting skills, so Grace was not very worried when Rose went out.
After Rose left, William sighed, âDonât tell me you wanted to send your daughter to Frankâs to see your future wife?â
âYouâre overthinking it. Iâm not as gossipy as you. Itâs up to him whether he likes the lady or not,â Grace said with an attitude.
William continued to probe. âGrace, you havenât told me why Frank asked you for a defense map the last time. What was he going to do with it? How did he convince you? Tell me.â
Grace shot William a cold stare and slapped the documents in her hand into his arms. She sipped the coffee on the table and said, âYour son is so capable. He threatened me.â
Williamâs eyes widened. After all these years, no matter how anxious his son was, he did not dare to threaten his mother. He must have liked his mother to the core. Frank was just like him and inherited Williamâs adoration for Grace. William was happy about it.
*How did Frank threaten you? When he comes back, Iâll talk to him properly. He has no regard for filial piety now. I wonder whoâs in charge of the family now,â William thought as his face contorted with concern.
map. 1 Grace was too embarrassed to expose Williamâs poor acting skills. Grace recalled the day her son asked her for a defense map. She said, âOn the day before you went to Sapphire City, your son came to ask me for Athanaâs secret defense asked him to give me a reason, but your son asked me to choose between giving half of the defense map in exchange for a daughter-in-law or letting Rose inherit the family business in exchange for a son-
in-law. How was I to choose?â
Was this a compromise? This was not his wifeâs character. Shouldnât they talk about it a few times first? William asked, âAnd then what happened next? Did you give it to him? Thatâs why he asked you for the defense map and used it as an excuse to woo his girlfriend from the start. You didnât hold back because of the words âdaughter-in-law?â
âIâm afraid that holding this picture will affect the Roberts familyâs procreation, Grace casually said. William knew Grace inside out after being husband and wife for many years; she was stubborn but soft-hearted.William smiled and said, âHow is that possible; youâre stubborn and saw that itâs rare for your son to like someone. You did not make things difficult since he asked for it repeatedly. You also have faith in Frankâs taste. Youâre just afraid that the child will be impulsive. Frank is quite sensible and didnât ask for the entire map; he only wanted half of it.â
Grace glared at William again and yelped, âShut up. Are we still going to discuss the matter?â
âSure, letâs talk. Grace, you go first, William replied. He was in a good mood. His daughter was back, and now his son had found a girlfriend.
Rose came to Frankâs Deepwater Bay villa but had forgotten the password after touring Sapphire City for a few days. In addition, she had been staying at the Robertsâ villa previously. She could not remember the password to his brotherâs villa and inputted her bank card pin instead.
She stood at the door and pressed the doorbell. Soon, the door opened. It was Ava in a puerile-looking sweater. When the door opened, Rose hugged her excitedly.
âLittle Princess, why are you here? Why didnât you send me any messages? Are you here to give me a surprise? Are you two
finally together?â Rose asked.
From the looks of it, the two of them seemed to be in a different state. Ava was no longer in a bad state.
Ava graciously walked to Frankâs side and held his hand. She raised it in the air and clasped his hands.
This made Rose excited Rose exclaimed, âAhhh, oh my god, what did I see? Brother, youâre awesome. Youâre my idol.â
Rose gave Frank a thumbs up from afar and even spun around in excitement.
Rose came back to her senses and realized the problem. She said, âWait a minute, why did you get together so quickly? Is there something I donât know?â
âWhatâs the accelerator of relationships? Rose thought.
Frank could not be bothered with Rose and said, âCut the crap. Your the milkshake is over there. Take it yourself.â
Rose was determined to find the truth out that night. There was no hurry to do it then. She casually threw her bag on the sofa and began to look for her the milkshake. Frank had already squatted down to insert a straw into Avaâs drink for her. After inserting the straw, he handed the cup to Ava Ava took the milkshake and stuffed the straw into her mouth. She felt better after taking a sip. She handed the milkshake to Frank and asked, âDo you want some?â
After a few seconds of silence, Frank finally grabbed her wrist and leaned forward to take a sip. The residual warmth from the little girlâs mouth lingered on the straw. He was indirectly kissing her. After sipping the straw, he patted Avaâs head and said, âIâll go up for a while. Tell the family that youâre safe first.â
Tve already texted them. When I got off the plane, I sent messages to Mom, Dad, and my brother,â Ava replied.
âOkay.â Frank said as he smiled and turned to leave.
Ava looked at Frankâs back as he went upstairs. Her heart was pounding, and the milkshake before her tasted even better. She saw Rose looking for something and asked in confusion. âRose, what are you looking for?â
Rose had been looking around the living room but could not find her milkshake. She commented. âIâm looking for the milkshake. Didnât I tell Cranky Franky to buy me a cup? Did he not buy me one?â
Before Ava could speak, Rose saw the iron bucket at the door. Coupled with the plastic wrap on top of it, she could not tell what it was from a distance. Rose asked. âHey, did my brother buy some wild fish?â
Rose naturally thought that it was fish inside the pail.
Upon hearing this, Ava choked on the milkshake, âCough, cough, cough. Thatâs not a fish. Itâs... your milkshake.â
Ava was embarrassed. She could not bear to look at the ginormous bucket of milkshake by the door. She squinted in awkwardness and pointed at the bucket with one finger.
The next second, Rose screamed, âFrank, whatâs wrong with you? What did you buy me?â
Rose thought, âDid Frank misunderstand her? Sheâs a human, not a pig.â
Her earth-shattering scream echoed through the spacious living room. It was so loud that even Frank, who was busy on the second floor, heard it. He came out, leaned against the railing with one hand, and hollered, âWhy are you shouting so late at night? Didnât you say to add this and that?â
Rose placed her hands on her hips. She was so angry that she was speechless. She looked up at Frank, who did not think he did something wrong, and said, âI just like more toppings. Is there a need for you to get me a metal bucket? Are you sure youâre fine?â
Frank leaned on the railing calmly and replied, âDo you think you own the milkshake store? Those in the knowing would know that you wanted to drink a milkshake. Those who donât know will think youâre buying toppings instead. Quit screaming like a ghost as if youâre possessed.â
After saying that, Frank turned around and returned to his room.
He left Rose, who was staring blankly at the bucket of milkshake downstairs. Her head throbbed, and she placed her hands on her hips. Avaâs soft voice came from behind, âDo you want to eat it with a spoon? This is quite expensive. It was 60 dollars for that bucketâ
Avaâs expression was so cute that it melted Roseâs temper. âForget it! It was 60 dollars. For the sake of money, her brother still loved her,â Rose thought.

In the future, take him to a psychologist to seek treatment for his bad habits. Look at this... this bucket of milkshake.â
In the end, Rose still went to the kitchen to get a cup, a spoon, and a bowl. She scooped the milkshake from the bucket. There was also full of toppings. She crossed her legs on the sofa as she prepared to listen to gossip.
