Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 380

With Ava in tow, Frank did not go shooting or jet skiing after their rock climbing session.

Instead, Ava had expressed her wish to buy him clothes and have him accompany her shopping.

As such, there was no choice but to indulge her.

The two walked hand in hand through the Sapphire City shopping mall. Instead of sitting on a couch, Frank stood by the fitting room door, awaiting Ava as she tried on clothes.

Before long. Ava walked out. She was wearing casual trousers and a loose beige shirt. The front edges were tucked into the pants.

Innocence and maturity melded seamlessly, their distinct qualities harmoniously blending together.

After stepping out. Ava turned around in front of Frank, asking with a smile, ‘Do I look good?”

Frank straightened up, adjusting Ava’s hair and tenderly pinching her neck. “You look great. There’s no need to change it. Keep that on.”

“Alright then, I also think it’s quite nice, clean, and neat, Ava replied.

Afterward, Frank strode purposefully to the counter to pay, instructing the cashier, Pack up all the clothes she tried

earlier.

He then retrieved a card from his wallet, placing it on the table for the cashier to swipe.

The cashier was thrilled as her work performance was about closing sales. She even complimented Ava saying, “Your boyfriend is so thoughtful. He’ll buy anything you’ve tried on. That is so attentive of him.

Ava smiled faintly, her face flushing. The compliment was too straightforward, making her slightly embarrassed. She quietly muttered, “He’s very good to me.”

Under the envious gazes of onlookers, the two departed hand in hand, Frank laden with shopping bags

“What else do you want to buy?” Frank asked.

This was his first time shopping, and he was unsure how to accompany her. He intended to foot the bill for whatever she

wanted.

Ava cast a sidelong glance at the shopping bags in Frank’s hands. He had bought quite a bit of clothes for her. Carrying more would be tiresome, and she did not need clothes. However, the significance of the clothes Frank bought was different. After briefly contemplating, Ava said, “I will buy you clothes too”

Frank declined. Dressing up was straightforward for him, and he would rather spend time on her. As such, he suggested saying. “Let’s buy your stuff.

“I am not buying anything else. What you bought for me will last a long time. I’m delighted. She smiled genuinely, her happiness palpable, and he responded with a subtle curl of his lips.

However, Ava planned to secretly prepare a gift for him next time, using money she earned.

At the end of the workday. Tom handed Rose her plane ticket. She snapped a picture and sent it to Sherri

Upon returning home. Rose bounced into the living room, humming a tune, and found her parents on the couch. She grinned and pouted, “Grace, William, are you both coming on the trip with me tomorrow?”
