Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 241
The night was enchanting. The moon and the stars hung in the sky at the same time. The radiant moonlight added a layer of
hues to the illuminated courtyard.
The stars adorned the moon, making it the protagonist of tonight. So, who will be the protagonist in the courtyard today? If you
wish, anyone can become the protagonist of their own life
The decision is in your hands.
In one corner of the courtyard, surrounded by blue hydrangeas, clusters of ball-shaped blue flowers formed a picturesque
If it were not for the captivating voice of a girl, her presence might have gone unnoticed. A clear and sweet voice emerged from
the midst of the flowers, saying, “Mommy, have you missed mei”
On the other side. Emma had just finished her yoga session. Holding her phone, she walked to the window and stretched her
legs, breathing slightly “Mommy missed you. Are you having fun over there?” she asked.
“Yes, I’m happy. We are having a party at a beautiful villa on the island tonight. Many guests will be attending ”
From the phone, Emma could hear her daughter’s happiness. She smiled and gave her instructions, worried that her daughter’s
excitement might lead to unwanted behavior. Unable to resist, she said. “I know you are having a great time Please be a little
well-behaved over there and listen to your sister Your sister took such a long vacation to have fun with you. You mustn’t cause
her ans, trouble, understand?
“Sure I will be good. Momti
lask you how you pursued Daddy before?”
Emma, who was mussaging her leg, stopped and guessed. “Ava, did you meet a boy you like over there?”
Ava lowered her gaze and kicked the pebbles by her feet. She tightened her grip on the phone “Yes, Mommy, will you be
Soon, a cheerful response came from Emma “No, you are all grown up, and falling in love is beautiful. Mommy won’t object. But
you need to if the guy you like is worthy of your affection Does your sister know this person?”
Ava replied. “Yes, she knows him. He’s Trevon’s friend, but we are not together yet”

“Ava. Mommy believes in you. But when you pursue him, don’t lower your worth to please him. You are not inferior to anyone
You
ways be the little princess of the Turner family. You are confident and don’t need to diminish yourself to please anyone oesn’t like
you in return, it doesn’t mean you are not excellent Perhaps it’s just a matter of fate. Love is
ime that. Ava should experience Mommy wants you to go thro uis period happily”

Emma and Ava chatted for a few more minutes sharing her thoughts when she pursued Daniel. However, she repeatedly
istructed Ava not to lose herself while chasing a guy. It was not worth it
Emma said that girls should not lose their character for the sake of love. Every girl has a unique personality that should not be
compromised. Those who like you will not ask you to change yourself to fit their preferences Instead, they will discover the
positive points within you and fall in love with your distinct personality.
Such guys are the ones who love you, and those are the ones you should pursue Anyone who finds fault and criticizes
aspects of you should not be considered
Emma is
ath strong oparons and thoughts. Even if she is the one that pursued Danuel, she showcases ber charm rather than
compromising herself for has affection
Ava’s one-sided love is inherently risky but also an opportunity Ultimately, there are only two possible outcomes, and Ava can
handle the negative one
One-sided love is, in essence, a heartbreak with a foreseen outcome
She persisted in the pursuit not because she expected it to have a positive end but because she firmly believed that it was the
right thing to do At least this way there will be no regrets. If she doesn’t take action, she might look back and say, “Maybe things
would have been different if I had taken action”
After hanging up the phone. Ava prepared to step out, carrying the white hem of her dress. The bright flames of the stars
stimulated her eyes

As she walked out of the sea of hydrangea, she noticed Frank lazily leaning against the wall. His slender fingers held a cigarette,
one foot resting against the wall, his body slightly bent, lingering smoke swirling around him, blurring his handsome features
Even so, the blurred figure remained attractive and captivating He ematted a seductive allure.
He appeared lazy and carefree, yet also seemed deep and restrained, giving off an irresistible urge to get closer and delve
deeper into his mysteries
Ava never expected to meet Frank here, nor did she know how long he had been there or if he overheard her convertion with her
mother. Regardless, she decided not to worry about it. After all, she had intended to pursue hem so there was
nothing to hide.
With a slight smile, she approached, gracefully holding her dress, and took the initiative to greet him, “Buddy, what a
coincidence.”
Frank gazed at the girl before him, his smile radiant, showing no sign of awkwardness. He diverted his gaze, took a deep drag of
his cigarette, and exhaled a ring of smoke slowly. “Let’s change the way you address me, he suggested.
Ava readily agreed, “Sure, what would you like? Franky, Frank, Director Roberts, or Mr. Roberts? I can go along with any of
them.”
After a few moments of silence, before Frank could respond. Ava had already made up her mind. “There are too many options
for you to choose from. I’ll stick with calling you Frank. Firstly, you’re slightly older than me, so it’s a polite way to address you.
Secondly, it seems especially distant when I call you Mr. Roberts, and I don’t know if you like it or not, but I don’t. And calling you
Director Roberts sounds like I’m your servant. So, Frank, it is. Is that okay with you?”
As Ava spoke. Frank took the cigarette from between his fingers, straightened his posture, and put one hand in his pocket while
holding the still-burning cigarette in the other. He tugged at the corner of his lips and said, “You’ve already decided, so why ask
me?”
Ava was not bothered by his aloofness. After all, she had known his personality for a while. She liked him precisely because of
his enigmatic nature. She openly praised, “Well then, I’ll take that as your agreement, Frank. Do you know that you look very
handsome and charming right now?”

Frank’s hand that was holding the cigarette trembled. He paused for a few seconds and looked at the girl with narrowed eyes.
Her face was always adorned with a sweet smile. “Have you been in a relationship before?”
Ava blinked her bright eyes, and they sparkled like stars in the sea. She nodded repeatedly, afraid that Frank wouldn’t believe
her. After all, in most people’s eyes, a girl pursuing a guy may be seen as lacking in reserve. She didn’t want Frank to think she
was someone casual.
She added, “No, I have not.”
Frank curled his lip slightly, a hint of an obscure and enigmatic smile forming. “Never been in love, yet you’re learning how to
pursue someone. You’ve got quite the courage.”
Ava blushed, realizing he must have overheard her conversation with her mother. But it was not something embarrassing
anyway. When you like someone, you should strive for them. There’s nothing wrong with that. Calm and composed, she said,
“Just because I have not been in love doesn’t mean I can’t pursue someone. Besides, isn’t it necessary to make an effort for the
people we like?”
Frank narrowed his beautiful eyes as he watched the girl in front of him vehemently defending her thoughts. He found it
unexpectedly amusing that he was discussing love with a young girl. “Your teachers allow relationships at such young age,”
he remarked.
Ava frowned, feeling displeased. Tm 22. It’s not considered an early relationship. In Sapphire City, many people my age are
already married. Thus I am not young anymore. Frank, do you think I’m too young? Or do you prefer older women?”
While waiting for Frank to respond, Ava quickly went through possible reasons. Was it because he thought she was too young
for him to handle? Or did he simply not like girls younger than himself?
Frank pursed his lips and remained silent. He flicked the cigarette butt away, straightened his posture, and did not answer her
question. “Your sister is looking for you,” he said instead.
Ava did not doubt him and quickly responded. After all, there were still more than ten days left. If she couldn’t make him fall for
her, it wouldn’t matter. There wouldn’t be any regrets. “Oh,” she replied.
Frank remained still while Ava took the first step up the stairs.

Under the moonlight, one tall and one short, one in front and one behind, they walked together quietly without speaking. Even
Ava, who was usually talkative, fell silent at that moment.
Because the two of them appeared together, several people in front of the courtyard behaved like alerted dogs, sniffing the scent
of gossip and heading toward Ava
Sherri and Rose eagerly approached. Rose glanced at Frank trailing behind and rolled her eyes. He remained calm and
emotionless, heading towards Trevon’s position without revealing any sign of emotions.
Sherri held Ava’s arm and whispered, “Did you win over Mr. Roberts’s heart?”
Sherri questioned, as she did not understand Frank like Rose did. Rose knew that her brother was not easy to pursue.
However, seeing them walk out together quietly, she felt there might be a chance.
Ava shook her head and bluntly asked Rose about the unanswered question she had asked Frank earlier, “Rose, does Frank
prefer older women?”
Rose immediately grasped her main point and frowned as she asked, “Does he dislike you because you’re younger!” “I suppose
so.”
