Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon) novel Chapter 523

Chapter 523

While Frank was preparing milk in the kitchen, Ava had already shared with Rose that her brother had found happiness. Ava smiled joyfully throughout the conversation, even recounting their first encounter during the first lunar month.

After hearing the story, both Rose and Edward were taken by surprise.

It was Christina. This revelation was unexpected.

Edward remained composed, but Rose was bubbling with excitement.

Still in shock, Rose whispered, “What a fate-defying coincidence. It’s Christina. But how did they meet? One is in Sapphire City, and the other is in Athana. There’s a vast difference between the two places. How peculiar.”

“Is Joseph already with Christina?”

Rose bombarded herself with questions, trying to connect the dots, but the exact point of their meeting eluded her.

Ava recalled the photos of Ethan she had sent the previous night and nodded, “They should be together.” They were both wrapped in blankets.

She was cautious not to reveal that her future sister-in-law was wrapped in a blanket.

Instead, she shared her happiness with Rose, knowing that Rose would also be delighted for her brother.

“Wow, that’s great! Auntie will be overjoyed. Our family has been having continuous good news. But let me tell you, Christina’s mom will be a hundred times happier than Auntie. Suppose Mrs. Yamin finds out Christina is chosen. In that case, she’ll be thrilled and joyful to contain her happiness and celebrate energetically for an extended period.”

Rose exclaimed with exaggerated excitement, practically dancing with joy.

Hearing this, Ava was dumbfounded. She even forgot to close her mouth, displaying genuine surprise. Christina was undeniably beautiful, and Ava wondered why she hadn’t considered her as an option. Perhaps she had set her expectations too high.

Beside her, Frank playfully helped Ava close her mouth and urged her, “Finish your drink first.”

“A true gentleman,” Rose teased, nudging Edward and leaning closer to whisper, “Do you think my brother is possessed by something? Aren’t you amazed to see this side of him?”

Edward glanced at Frank, who was facing Ava but always kept his gaze on her. He nodded subconsciously, still astonished.

Frank doted on Ava as if no one else were around. After she finished her milk, he carefully wiped the glass with a tissue, showing meticulous care.

After lunch at the Roberts’ residence, Rose decided to nap and insisted on staying until dinner before heading home. Edward always stayed close to wherever Rose was.

He didn’t mind the ambiance at the Roberts’ residence. He found it delightful and relaxing. As a result, he spent the afternoon with Frank, feeling at ease, while Rose settled into Frank’s room.

Because Ava had a sense of decorum, Rose used to sleep alone in the past, and she could get into Rose’s bed whenever she pleased. However, Edward was now sleeping in Rose’s room, so she needed to be mindful. She guided Rose to her and Frank’s room.

Rose, who carried a sword with him, became much bolder. As soon as he entered, he complained to his brother, “How lazy is my brother? He doesn’t even fold the blanket after waking up. He’s too lazy.”

Ava smiled and led her to the balcony to sit. The sun was splendid that day, casting its warm glow across every corner of the balcony.

She sat on the chair, feeling so relaxed that she could almost doze off. She took out the snacks that her brother had bought for Ava the last time, and there were plenty.

“My brother is pretty good. He knows how to feed. Ava, do you feel happy? Do you want to join our family’s household register immediately?” Rose continued to rummage through the snack bag in her hand, enticing while speaking, deliberately curling her tongue.

“Did my brother prepare these for me? Plums, walnuts, pine nuts, cashew nuts, dried fruits, mangoes, kiwis, and more.” Rose took them out one by one, narrating with excitement.

Looking at the table full of snacks, Rose gazed at Ava in amazement and asked again, “Did my brother buy all of these for

me? He loves me.”

Meeting Rose’s excited gaze, Ava was too embarrassed to explain. However, she wasn’t good at lying and acted like an honest child. “My brother bought this bag, and your brother bought that bag. However, the things you took out were indeed bought by my brother for you.”

Rose once again rummaged through another bag of snacks, only to find that inside, there was a can of preserved plums and crackers; everything else was things she couldn’t eat, which could be described as all Ava’s favorites.

Rose pouted and said sourly, “My brother is about to lose his adorable sister. But I realize that Joseph is a caring man. He’s comparable to Edward. He’ll enjoy life from now on with Christina.”

“Sherri, do they know about this?”

Ava glanced at her parents in the distance below and said, “They probably don’t know, right? We just found out ourselves, so you could say we were early to the gossip.”

In the spirit of sharing is caring, Rose swiftly opened a bag of nuts, guided by the idea that it’s better to enjoy something with others. Each bag contained individually packaged fruit pieces. There was no need to peel them by hand. Joseph was amazing. She quickly typed, “Big news, the annual heavyweight big news,” in the Fairy Fortress group chat.

Here’s another one, just like the village megaphone announcements from decades ago. [Ladies and gentlemen, get ready with your peanuts in hand, and if possible, have some popcorn and milkshakes ready. Let’s get started.]

Ava looked at Rose, who was beaming with infectious laughter across from her and couldn’t help but burst into laughter herself. She glanced at the messages in the group, trying to stifle her amusement by covering her mouth.

Indeed, when Sherri heard there was some juicy gossip, she couldn’t contain her excitement. She quickly responded. [I’m all set, let’s spill the beans.]

Natalie was unaware of what was happening but quickly responded. [I’m eagerly waiting to hear more.]

Rose replied. [Natalie, you’ve adopted Trevon’s communication style, becoming more succinct in your expressions.]

Natalie texted. [There’s a lot of milk. I’m breastfeeding.]

Sherri immediately reacted. [Fuck, I don’t have enough milk.]

Ava laughed and reminded all. [It’s just a sharing. We’ve gone off-topic.]

Meeting her gaze, Rose nodded and promptly chimed in on the group chat. [The stars are on the verge of igniting. The joy of a new couple is approaching. Can you guess who they might be?]
