Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 410
Rose was still having a video call. On the phone screen. Sherri and Natalie were wiping their tears with tissues.
It was obvious that they were touched.
Joseph was the first to leave the top floor with an upset expression and complicated feelings.
Other than Grace who was smiling, William, Daniel, and Emma all had tears in their eyes.
Grace held Emma’s shoulders to comfort her. As they stepped out of the elevator, Grace said straightforwardly, “From today
onwards, Ava will be my daughter, and Frank will be your son. At most, you’ll have one more son, and you won’t lose a
daughter.”
Emma did not push Grace’s hand away. She smiled and walked forward. “Not bad.”
At night, the Turners stayed in the Sapphire Hotel. William played chess with Daniel. Emma had heard Joseph introduce Grace
simply before, so she was interested in how Grace could become the head of the Turner family. She thought that there should be
a lot of bitterness and sadness in the process.
At that moment, Emma and Grace were sitting together and sharing their own stories. Grace, who was not chatty, was
overwhelmed by Emma’s questions and began to share her experiences with Emma.
On the top floor, after recording the proposal. Rose quietly left. Only Ava and Frank, today’s main characters, were left in the
cozy and romantic room and hugging each other affectionately.
Ava cried in Frank’s arms for a long time. She was touched, excited, surprised, and nervous...
When she finally stopped crying and only sobbed softly. Frank’s shirt was already drenched in her tears. He felt it and said in a
low voice. “Alright. If you cry any longer, you won’t be able to cry tonight”
Ava did not understand the sentence. She looked up at the tall and straight Frank and asked, “What do you mean?”
Her eyes were red and swollen, and she blinked in confusion. The formation of the drones outside the window was still changing
Frank looked down at Ava meaningfully and curled his lips into a smile. “It’s nothing. Can you

walk?”
Ava nodded, but in the next second, Frank suddenly picked her up. Ava was stunned and subconsciously wrapped her arms
around Frank’s neck.
She felt pretty good. She held the flowers in her hand and rested her head on Frank’s shoulder. “Frank, I love you. I love you
very, very much.”
Frank’s breathing suddenly quickened, his heart skipped a beat, and his voice became a little hoarse. “Tell me later.”
Ava didn’t quite understand what Frank said and was confused all the time. However, she was in a good mood, so she didn’t
think about it further. Instead, she just wanted to lie in Frank’s arms.
Frank walked quickly to his room. He swiped the room card while holding Ava, and the door opened with a click.
The lights in the room were not turned on, and the curtains were drawn. Nothing could be seen clearly in the darkness. Frank
closed the door with his foot and locked it. This way, Ava could not go out at night.
Hearing the sound of the lock, Ava seemed to have understood what was going to happen next. She recalled what Frank had
just said and finally understood a little.
Frank put down Ava and turned on a wall lamp. He was so close to her, and his facial features were right in front of her eyes. Ava
did not hesitate for a second. She held the flowers in her hand and tiptoed to kiss Frank’s lips.
Without hesitation, Frank took the flowers from Ava’s hand and threw them on the ground. In the next second, he captured her
delicate lips. Ava raised her head and accepted the kiss, her hands tugging at Frank’s shirt nervously.
Frank held the back of her head gently and pressed her against him bit by bit. The kiss became more enthusiastic. Ava was
dizzy from the kiss, and her heart beat wildly as if something was drumming in it. In the beginning, she could still stand steadily,
but in the end, Frank had to hold her waist to stabilize her.
The kiss continued. However, Frank was not satisfied with kissing Ava’s lips only. He was infatuated with other places and almost
couldn’t control himself.
His voice was getting hoarser and hoarser. He whispered in Ava’s ear in a deep voice, “Baby Ava, can I?”

Ava understood what he meant and nodded with her flushed face. Hearing that, Frank picked her up and placed her on the bed.
The light in the room wasn’t bright. Ava lay on the bed nervously, her hands gripped her dress, and her palms were sweating.
Even so, she was willing to be with Frank.
Frank’s eyes were bloodshot. He trapped Ava in his arms and asked for her opinion again, “Are you sure? I won’t stop in the
process.
Ava paused for a moment before nodding again. The next second, Frank leaned down and kissed her, slowly and gently
reducing her nervousness.
Time passed bit by bit. Ava suddenly called out, “Frank...”
Seeing her frown, Frank tried his best to restrain his desire and coaxed her gently. “Baby Ava, bear with it for a moment.”
This time, he didn’t stop because he felt pity for Ava. He wanted Ava. He wanted everything about Ava.
Perhaps because Frank hadn’t closed the window completely when he left just now. Through the narrow gap, the night breeze
blew in, causing the originally quiet curtains to flutter. The dim light shone on the curtain and seemed to provide a stage for the
curtain’s dancing.
Exploring was human nature, and no one would refuse beauty.
The night was exceptionally beautiful.
Rose took the private plane of the Roberts family back alone.
Emma and Grace admired each other a lot. Therefore, the hospitable Turners hoped that Grace and William could stay in
Sapphire City for a few more days. Grace was always straightforward, and she agreed to stay directly.
“What a poor guy am I. I can inherit billions of assets and live a comfortable and free life. Why do I have to choose to work
hard?”
There were many bodyguards on the plane. Considering that Rose would go back alone, Joseph meticulously arranged for the
bodyguards of the Turner family to ensure her safety.
Rose was full of energy at night and was not going to sleep. She was talkative, and she began to chat with the silent.
bodyguards. “Thank you for sending me back.”

Rose said to the bodyguards of the Turner family. Pat was among them, and he answered politely on behalf of others, “Miss
Roberts, you’re welcome. It is our duty”
Rose felt that Pat was too serious. “Do you usually not smile? Although it’s easy to have wrinkles if you smile too much, I think
life will be better if you smile more.”
The other bodyguards under Pat were shocked when they heard Rose’s words. They looked at Rose, a talkative young lady. in
disbelief as if she was an alien.
!
Pat replied politely, “There’s nothing funny. I am rarely amused by anything.”
Rose looked regretful. “Oh... That’s a pity. I don’t have a joke that can make you laugh now.”
Later, Pat had been asked questions by Rose and forced to chat with her for a few hours. He felt as if he had said everything in
his life and probably did not want to talk in the next few months.
Rose was too eloquent.
When the plane arrived at Athana Airport, it was already at midnight. There were not many stars in the sky, looking pitifully
few.
After getting off the plane, Rose strode out of the airport. Behind her, a group of bodyguards followed. At that moment, Rose
looked much like Grace as she walked out with a different aura.
If not for her excited footsteps, she would have been exactly like Grace.
When Rose arrived at the entrance, a man in a thin trench coat and glasses slowly walked over from afar. He stopped in front of
her and took the suitcase from her hand. “I’ll help you take it.”
Rose was stunned for a moment. Edward did say that she could send him a message if she came back alone. However, so
many bodyguards sent her back to Athana. Besides, it would be late at night when she returned home. A the thought of that, she
did not send Edward a message.
More importantly, Rose wasn’t Edward’s girlfriend yet, and she thought that it was embarrassing to ask him to pick her up so late
at night.

She fell silent for a few seconds before saying, “Why are you here?”
In fact, she wanted to ask Edward how he got to know that she would come back alone.
Edward did not tell the truth. “I guessed.”
Rose thought, “Are you a fortuneteller? How can you guess that?”
Anyway, she didn’t believe it. She didn’t even buy a plane ticket, and how could Edward know that she would be back now and
appear in time? Unless....
“You didn’t come here to wait for me all day long, did you?” Rose was stunned when she said that. However, it was the only
proper hypothesis that could explain why Edward was here.
“Get in the car, and I’ll send you back. Will you be scared if you stay at home alone?”
Edward did not answer Rose’s question. He was worried that she would be afraid of living alone in a big house.
Rose said to the bodyguards behind her, “I’ll take my friend’s car. You guys can follow behind. Don’t worry,”
Then, she sat in the passenger seat of Edward’s car and fastened her seatbelt. She did not give up and asked Edward, who was
sitting in the driver’s seat, “You haven’t answered my question just now.”
Rose had to get to the bottom of the matter.
Edward smiled charmingly. “You can think it that way. You don’t have to feel burdened. I just don’t want to miss the opportunity to
pick you up.”
Rose roared inwardly. “Damn it! How can he be such a considerate man?”
She smiled and averted her gaze, looking at the scenery outside the window. She seemed to be thinking about something. and
the corners of her lips were curled up into a smile.
Edward drove steadily in the direction of the Roberts’ place. After an unknown period of time, Rose, who had been staring out of
the window, suddenly turned to look at Edward.
Sensing her burning gaze. Edward slowed down. “What’s wrong?”

Rose paused for a while as if she was making a big decision. She did not want to miss out on a good man. Not to mention.
anything else, there were not many men like Edward who was handsome and considerate at the same time. The only thought in
her mind now was to be with him.
“Edward, I’ve decided. I’m willing to be your girlfriend.”
Edward stepped on the brake, and the car stopped. His heart beat even faster, and so did Rose. No one knew how struggling
she was before she said such shameless words.
She had reminded herself of being reserved. However, she did not know why she chose to be straightforward in the end. If Frank
knew that she was so unreserved, he would probably scold her endlessly.
Edward thought that he had misheard and wanted to confirm it. “You agreed to be my girlfriend?”
“Didn’t I make myself clear enough? Then L...
Rose was interrupted by the sudden kiss. Edward reached out and pulled her closer to him, his lips on hers.
He didn’t kiss her deeply but just kissed her lightly. It was his first kiss.
Rose’s face blushed in an instant. She asked in embarrassment. “You haven’t been chasing me for long. Did I agree too
quickly?”
Her tone was not as blunt as before. Instead, there was a trace of shyness. Edward found it cute. This was the first time he had
seen Rose shy. “No. This is what I long for. Rose, during our relationship, if you feel that I’m not suitable, you can go back on
your word at any time. But I hope I can have a chance to prove myself, and I’ll continue to pursue you.
“I once loved someone else deeply before, which is unfair to you. You can accept it even if you know the situation, which means
that you are a magnanimous girl. I’ll prove that you are the only one in my heart now.”
Edward explained seriously and sincerely, afraid that Rose would not believe him. Rose looked at him and said. “If I didn’t
believe you, I wouldn’t have agreed to it. Edward...”
She found it a little difficult to speak.
“What’s wrong?” Edward looked at Rose’s flushed face and thought that she was still shy. He did not intend to joke with her.

Rose’s voice was as low as a kitten’s miaow. “I think... I think you looked quite handsome when you kissed me just now. Can you
do it again?”
With that, Rose felt ashamed and wished she could get out of the car immediately. But she indeed felt pretty good just now. and
she finally understood why Frank could kiss Ava for so long.
