Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 230

The car drove up to Grand Manor, and the group went up to 38th floor.

Ava walked quickly past everyone else and came up to Natalie. Tm going to play computer games with Joseph to hone my skills. I won’t be sleeping with you tonight. Goodbye.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed into the room to get her pajamas. She only took the stuff she needed for the next morning and left her suitcase in the room.

Natalie immediately turned to look at Trevon and asked, “Is this your doing?”

It was not Trevon. Ava was the one who suggested this plan in exchange for information about Frank. Perplexed, Frank said honestly. “It’s not my idea. Ava felt that she was playing gooseberry with us and decided to leave us alone tonight. I didn’t ask her to do that.”

He nodded resolutely, and Natalie also felt his explanation sounded reasonable. Ava always did as she wished. Otherwise, she would not have insisted on pursuing Frank despite their objections.

Just as Natalie was lost in her thoughts, Ava had already come out of the room. She took her things and bid Natalie goodbye again. “Good night, Natalie. I’m leaving now.”

Natalie wanted to say something, but Ava had already rushed into Joseph’s room. Feeling helpless, she could only shake her head.

Sherri understood what was happening immediately. Trevon was going to sleep in Natalie’s room that night. She wondered if she would feel awkward as the soundprooling of the room might not be good. She might not be able to sleep the entire night.

Sherri did not think it was a good idea. Although they were all adults, she would still be uncomfortable if they got intimate

in the room.

Hackett thought Trevon was the one who made Ava go away and was displeased. How could Trevon do that to an adorable girl like Ava? “That’s so despicable of you.”

“Really? What about you? If you are not despicable, why did you have a bet with Frank?”

Sherri heard the word ‘bet’ and got curious. “What bet are you talking about?” Soon, they had already arrived at Trevon’s

Foot

Hackett quickly gave Trevon a pleading look and implored the latter not to tell Sherri about his bet with Frank.

Trevon reciprocated with a mocking look. He scoffed at how cowardly Hackett was.

Sherri wanted to probe further, but she was too stunned by what she saw when the door was open. Jim was lying on the ground, motionless, while the two children were shooting him with toy guns.

Jasper playfully exclaimed, “You’re dead. You’re dead.”

Ruby quipped excitedly. “Oh yes. Yeah!”

Both Sherri and Natalic were shocked beyond words.

They felt sorry for Jim

Seeing his parents enter the room, Jasper climbed onto the stool. He then whipped out his homework proudly and presented it to Trevon as if it was some treasure. “Daddy!”
