Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon) novel Chapter 549

Chapter 549

The dining table was rectangular, with the Turner parents sitting on one side with Ava, and Christina and Joseph sitting on the other side.

Ava could not wait to share the news that Rose had given birth to a cute baby with her brother. She held a fork in her hand but did not pick up any food with it. The food on the table was not as interesting as this. The corners of her mouth curled up as she said with a smile, “Joseph, I have great news for you.”

Joseph, who had taken off his jacket, was only wearing a white formal shirt. He looked up at his sister with a smile and immediately said, “Are you graduating early?”

“How is that possible? I’m already at my limit after reducing the time to a year and a half. The earliest I can do is June next year. This is only the best result.” Ava looked a little helpless as she said this.

Regarding what Ava said, everyone at the dining table knew that this girl was indeed working very hard to compress the time. She did not want Frank to wait too long. She even studied until midnight at night.

Ever since Ava chose a minor, this girl stopped watching television dramas. When she woke up on the weekends, she would hold a book and nibble on it on the balcony. Christina also admired the progress Ava was making.

Christina had fantasized a few times that if only her own lazy sister could be so motivated, she would be very pleased. Christina didn’t want her sister to think about returning to the front desk every day. Stella was always complaining about how tired she was that day. She would ask every day if she could withdraw from the limelight or if she could retire early.

Every time Stella complained to Christina about this series of questions, Stella would be reprimanded by Christina.

Even so, if Stella was tired in a few days, she would still complain to Christina, and Christina would still educate her the same way.

Ava continued to share the news. “Alright, alright. You definitely won’t be able to guess. Your brain isn’t very good now. Rose just gave birth early this morning. She gave birth to a little boy. He’s very cute and weighs six pounds.”

After saying that, Ava was afraid that her brother wouldn’t understand what six pounds meant. Her pretty and slender fingers made a six in the air and waved it in front of Joseph, and then in front of Daniel’s eyes.

Hearing this, Joseph paused what he was doing. When his parents were around, Christina and Joseph did not flirt so much. They spoke more appropriately.

A few seconds later, Joseph naturally placed the food in his bowl and took a bite. He looked up at the elder Turner couple and said, “Dad, Mom, when do you plan to go to Athana?”

Emma didn’t eat much, so she ate very little at night. She put down her bowl and fork. “I was just about to ask you. If Christina isn’t feeling unwell, we can go to Athana.”

Christina stopped eating and replied, “Mom, I’m really fine. Don’t worry and go to Athana with Dad. If you go to Athana tomorrow, I’ll go to work with Joseph. With him watching over me, you can rest assured.”

Ava raised one hand in the air and recommended herself. “Me too. I can go straight to the company after class tomorrow and take care of Christina when Joseph is busy. I promise to complete the mission.” Daniel nodded. His daughter and daughter-in-law were very sensible and he was gratified by it. David immediately decided, “Alright, then we’ll go tomorrow and come back tomorrow. We have to go. After all, it’s Rose who just gave birth. Emma, what kind of gifts should we prepare?”

“Gifts?” Emma wondered. Emma was also stumped by this question. When her daughter told her this in the afternoon, she thought for a long time but couldn’t think of anything. It was originally very simple, but because of the relationship between Rose and Grace, Emma did not intend to buy anything heartwarming. She wanted to leave the opportunity to Grace.

They couldn’t be stingy with the gifts, nor should they snatch Grace’s opportunity. They also had to be practical. This was really a little difficult.

Emma raised her hand and scooped a bowl of soup for her daughter. She placed it in front of Ava and said softly, “I haven’t thought of anything yet. Leave the bracelet and anklet for Grace to buy.” Christina roughly knew a little about the inside story between Rose and Grace. Christina seemed to understand why her mother-in-law did not buy these things, so she helped Emma think of ideas. In an instant, the entire family fell into deep thought. They were all thinking about what to give as presents. This was a problem that hurt their brain cells.

“I got it!”

Just as everyone did not know what to give, Ava acted like she was in class and raised her hand to answer the question.

Joseph raised his chin at his sister and put some food into Christina’s plate. “Go on, tell us.”

Ava felt that her idea was not bad and began to say, “Doesn’t Rose like those special blankets, pillows, and some sleeping bags and sofas? Then let’s go to the mall to buy some things, such as little sandwich blankets, as well as dolls that the baby can sleep with. Then we’ll just give them some money as a gesture of goodwill. What do you guys think?”

After saying that, Ava looked at the entire family expectantly, looking from one to the other.

Christina felt that it was a good idea. Gifts given to one of their own people did not have to be the most expensive. The best kind was something practical, suitable, and liked by the receiver. “I think Ava’s method is quite good.” It was meaningful.

“Alright, let’s go take a look after we finish eating. Christina, you don’t have to go. Joseph, stay at home with Christina. I’ll go with Ava and buy another gold piece.”

Emma assigned tasks to each member of the family. The dolls could be considered given by Ava, which would make Rose happy.

Indeed, shopping was a little inappropriate for the current Christina. Her legs would ache easily. “Yes, okay.”

At the Sapphire City Mall, the mother-daughter pair went to a special doll shop hand in hand. The shelves were filled with a dazzling array of dolls. Some were scary. Some were cute.

When Emma went out, she changed into a plain gown and a long white knitted sweater. Emma looked at the various dolls and was dazzled by the selection. In the end, she could only give this task to her daughter. “Ava, come and see which ones Rose likes.”

Combining the attributes of the dolls in Rose’s room, Ava began to choose, walking down aisle by aisle. Half an hour later, the bodyguard already had a lot of shopping bags in his hands. There were eight dolls alone, as well as a mini sandwich quilt, a hamburger pillow, and so on.

In the end, Emma still went to the gold shop to choose a top-quality charm bracelet, that was supposed to give the wearer good luck.

After dinner, Daniel went to the study alone. Joseph brought Christina back to their room. After a busy day, Joseph quickly took a shower in the bathroom.
