Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 461

Trevon had no qualms about being addressed respectfully.

He somehow fell that he was superior. After all, it was Frank who was in love with Ava, so addressing him as such was only natural.

Just like when Edward hooked up with Rose, there was no way around it; Frank had to be dubbed with Edward’s respect, even though Edward had a year’s seniority.

As Hackett unveiled the box, he quipped, “You didn’t go all out and get my son a pink diamond, did you? That would be too girly.”

The moment the box was cracked open, Hackett froze, his eyes locked on the chunky, oversized pasta–made golden necklace inside. The golden beads were plump and shimmered brilliantly, looking solid as a rock.

But wasn’t this the kind of bling that nouveau riche folks flaunted?

Was it even suitable for a newborn?

Hackett didn’t shut the box, and his gaze pierced Frank with skepticism. “Do you think my kid is some kind of nouveau riche? This thing is as thick as a chain link.”

Those in the know understood Frank’s generosity, but others might think he was planning to murder Hackett’s son. Trevon was itching to know what Frank had given that had left Hackett tongue–tied and wearing a constipated expression. As he approached, Trevon playfully placed his fist to his lips and quipped; “Chill out. Frank went all out on this one. When you’re wheeling and dealing in real estate, aren’t you a bit of a nouveau riche too? Frank gifting your kid a gold chain is on point. Your kid is now the crown prince, destined for the throne

Hackett thought, “I haven’t even inherited anything from my old man yet. What throne is my kid inheriting?”

Seeing this, Sherri sprang off the bed and strode over.

Rose was astounded by Sherri’s graceful moves and couldn’t help but gawk at Natalie, who hadn’t quite bounced back yet. “How did she go from being as slow as molasses to lightning fast, like a mother hen laying tomatoes, ready to take off once she’s done?”

Natalie felt these two were here to crack jokes, maybe even to kill her. All that laughter had naturally tugged at her wounds.

“Wow, Mr. Roberts, you’re really pulling out all the stops. I love how flashy this is. The pearls are huge and bold. When you and Ava have kids down the line, I’ll get you an even bigger one.

Sherri started weaving an elaborate story, talking non–stop.

Natalie knew this was the outcome, so she just shook her head and sighed. She glanced at Trevon, who was looking her way, and offered a smile.

They exchanged some invisible affection.

Frank was speechless.

Finally, he casually added, “I’m glad you like it.”

Sherri definitely did. Who wouldn’t like a thick gold chain handed out for free?

Trevon tossed in casually, “Should I give you something?”

The couple quickly intervened, answering in unison, “No need.”
