Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon) novel Chapter 553

Chapter 553

Some things were very mysterious, and some things were extraordinary. For example, the little one, initially crying, was now peacefully nestled in Frank Roberts’s arms.

He stared curiously at the unfamiliar and strange face that had never hugged him. His small eyes rolled around, creating a heartwarming scene. It was not out of place for a person to embrace a tiny bundle. Ava Turner and Rose Roberts were stunned by this scene. Ava could not help but take out her phone to take a photo. She had imagined Frank holding a child, but she did not expect the scene to be so loving. Rose said cautiously, “Frank, can you help your nephew to change his diapers? No matter what, you’re still his uncle, right?”

He glanced at the little one in his arms. He was adorable, and he rolled his eyes at his sister.

Meeting Ava’s expectant gaze, Frank finally compromised. In his memory, Trevon Wilson was quite proficient in changing diapers. It did not seem to be that difficult. He replied faintly, “Yes.”

Rose pushed Ava. She was excited as her brother agreed to help the baby change his diapers. She quickly pointed out the exact location with her hand and said, “The diapers are in the cabinet.”

Ava stood up and walked towards the cabinet. After a few steps, she turned back to look at Frank. Seeing that he was waiting, she opened the cabinet door and took out the diaper.

Frank glanced at his sister coldly, saying, “Move a bit. One bed isn’t enough for you to sleep alone, are you?”

Rose moved her butt and lay inside. Frank placed the child on the bed and removed the child’s pants. He carefully untied the diaper and threw it in the trash can at the side. He continued, “Ava, I’ll get some

water.”

Ava walked around the end of the bed to look at the little guy on the bed and replied, “Alright, I’ll look at him then.”

Rose continued, “There’s no need to do so. Frank has already placed him in the middle. It’s not like he can turn over and fall.”

After a while, Frank held a blue flower-shaped washbasin in his hand and used a disposable cotton cloth to wipe his nephew’s butt. He imitated Trevon Wilson and slowly wiped it carefully. This scene made Rose anxious.

She couldn’t help but say, “Frank, you can use more force. I didn’t give birth to a delicate doll.”

A stern gaze from Frank silenced her.

Rose swallowed and murmured, “I will shut my mouth up. Forget about what I said. Just do whatever you want.”

She pursed her lips and leaned against the bed leisurely.

The door of the ward was pushed open. When Grace Roberts and the others came in, they saw Frank carefully wiping her grandson’s butt.

Grace was not very surprised. She was very calm and felt it was only a matter of time. William Roberts was smiling. He was shocked and gratified as he walked over and praised, “Not bad, Frank. It would be best if you practiced in advance. Now, Rose’s child will be your free internship.”

Then, Edward Landor came in with a speechless reaction. He thought that he had seen it wrongly and even blinked.

Frank saw Edward’s shock and instructed, “Dump the water.”

“Alright,” replied Edward.

After confirming that it was not an illusion, Edward quickly returned to his senses. He did not refuse Frank’s instructions and walked over to pick up the washbasin before entering the bathroom.

Grace placed the toiletries in the room. When she came out, she said, “Ava, all the toiletries are in the

bathroom.”

“Thank you, Grace,” Ava thanked her sweetly.

Ava held Grace’s wrist, and after a few seconds of silence, Grace instructed William. She said, “It’s about time. You can go home after seeing the child. Ava and Frank will stay here tonight.”

Meeting his wife’s gaze, William was about to say he stayed here too, but he changed his words. “I’ll leave after seeing the child. I’ll go back and look after the house. It’s such a big house. At least someone has to be there,” said William immediately.

Hearing William’s words, Grace retracted her gaze and stopped talking.

“The deterrent effect of Grace was that she did not need to speak and only used her eyes.” thought Ava inwardly.

Frank’s mind was filled with how Trevon changed the baby’s diapers. He followed the instructions step by step. Whether it was Rose, Ava, or Edward who came out of the bathroom, they all looked stunned. Edward’s surprise only lasted for a few seconds before he slowly walked towards the bed.

On the other hand, Rose was different. She had always remembered the education of primary school teachers. If she had any questions, she had to ask them. That was a good child. Rose spoke, “Frank, you didn’t practice in private, did you?”

Meeting Ava’s puzzled gaze, Frank softened his voice. He gently carried the child and prepared to put him back into the cradle. It was too soft. “Frank, give it to me. My son should be hungry,” said Rose. “Frank, give it to me. My son should be hungry,” just as Frank was hugging him, Rose spoke.

Men were all very self-aware. William said, “Then I will go back and come back tomorrow. Ava, I am leaving now.”

Ava finally had the chance to call him, “Goodbye, William.”

Frank followed Edward out. Edward wanted to send William back, but he was rejected. William came by car. Thus, he just emphasized that Edward had to take good care of Rose as there were no other requirements.

They left the ward.

After that, Frank followed Edward to the end of the corridor. He opened the window a little, and a breeze entered. Frank did not smoke this time. He only threw a piece of xylitol into his mouth and handed another to Edward. “Do you want it?”

Edward took it and poured one into his mouth. Frank didn’t take it when he returned, and thus, he stuffed it into his pocket.

No one spoke. After a long while, Frank narrowed his eyes and asked, “Are you in a hurry to have a second child?”

Upon hearing this, Edward was dumbfounded. He hadn’t even figured out how to carry the child. He hadn’t learned how to carry the child, ultimately. Just learning to walk was challenging enough, let alone taking off.

“No, I told Rose to have only one baby,” Edward said honestly and thoughtfully.

The xylitol in Frank’s mouth seemed tasty as he chewed on it. He asked doubtfully, “Rose said that she want to have another baby for the following year. Isn’t that your idea?”

Edward had one hand on the railing and the other in his pocket. Frank leaned lazily against the railing, waiting for Edward’s answer.

“No. Before Rose gave birth, I told her that I would only give birth to one child. However, Rose said that if we give birth to four children, we can make a rummy table. Otherwise, we will be short of three children.”

Frank felt speechless at Edward’s words. He could tell this was ultimately Rose’s vocabulary. His head throbbed. Of all the things she liked, she just had to like having children.
