Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 428

Chapter 428

Ava had her laptop in front of her, legs crossed, and head bowed as she earnestly replied to messages.

A smile of well–wishing hung on her lips. Inside the Fairy Fortress chat group, Sherri did the same thing, saving and sharing Rose’s posts to the group chat.

She wanted to make sure everyone shared in the excitement, as she was concerned that someone might miss out on this juicy gossip.

Good things were meant to be shared. It was a principle Sherri always held.

Ava smiled as she scrolled through the photos sent by Sherri. One by one, she slid through them and lightly nudged Frank’s arm with her elbow. Her gaze was still fixed on the phone screen. “Frank, look. Rose is traveling”

At her words, Frank squinted his eyes. His gaze shifted to Ava’s phone, and he was left speechless because the sequence of photos Sherri had sent was exactly the same as the ones Hackett had sent earlier.

These two were really a perfect match.

They were on the same wavelength.

With a faint response, he said, “Hmm.”

After looking at the photos, Ava scrolled down and could sense Sherri’s excitement from the captions. Ava wrote, [Rose, are you getting closer to being married?]

Sherri replied, [Oh, she’s my future sister–in–law.]

Natalie chimed in. [Be a bit more cautious. You’re still a pregnant woman.]

Sherri replied, [Can you understand the feeling of having a single older male in the family without a girlfriend, and then him finally getting married off? I bless you with tears.]

Rose wrote, [Stop it, tone down the pretense. I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle it, sis.]

Sherri wrote, [Love you, my beloved sister–in–law.]

Natalie added, [Cheesy.]

Ava found the messages quite amusing and looked up at Frank. She noticed that his face had darkened for a moment. His slender fingers kept tapping his phone, seemingly contemplating something. She asked, “Should I reply?”

Seeing Frank’s irritated expression, Ava lost her motivation to reply to the messages. She pushed her laptop slightly away, then turned and straddled Frank’s lap. She tossed her phone onto the ground and wrapped one arm around his neck. With the other hand, she gently caressed his brow. “Don’t furrow your brows like that. Look, Rose is really happy in the photos.” After speaking, she gave a peck on Frank’s lips. Frank remained still, his deep, dark eyes narrowing slightly. The gloom that had been lurking in his heart was dissipated by Ava’s kiss. He replied, “Yeah.”

Frank held her with one arm. Ava had an alluring waist that fit perfectly in his grip, completely under his control. Unhurriedly, Ava leaned on his shoulder like a child, her weight pressing onto him. She played with her hands on his back, completely unaware of their awkward position.

Suppressing his emotions, Frank picked up his phone and sent a message to Rose. [Are you aiming to be a professional internet sensation, or are you preparing to be a target?]

Rose was playing with her phone at the moment. She quickly replied, [Speak human language.]
