Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 563

Angie’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot as she watched her daughter scamper away in a hurry. She smiled awkwardly. She was so happy chatting with the in-laws that she forgot about the potential problem upstairs.

It was fine if Stella was dressed neatly, but she came down as she always did when she was at home.

Frank, who had been leaning against the door, suddenly stood up straight and said to the people in the living room, “I’m heading out for a while.” Emma nodded and did not ask where he was going. She simply instructed, “Drive slowly.”

“I know,” Frank replied calmly.

Actually, Frank had straightened his mindset. His relationship with Ava was no different from being married. Since he was living at the Turner Manor, it meant that they had long accepted him into the family. He might as well get familiar, especially since the Yamin family was here. After all, he and Ava would be married sooner rather than later.

After Frank left, Emma retracted her gaze and began to persuade Angie. “Don’t be angry. This means that Stella is treating this place as her home. This is a good thing. You don’t want your daughter to lose sleep over it, right?”

“No matter what it is, you can always put a positive spin on it. Nothing can make you angry.”

Emma said with a faint smile, “That’s because I think about the positive side of everything. You can’t get angry when you think about things that don’t make you angry. Children have their own way of living. We have our own ideas. Once Stella gets married and has children, it will be difficult for her to sleep late every day. There will be little fellows waiting -to be fed beside her and wailing like alarm bells.”

Angie was amused by Emma. “Your emotions are always so stable. It’s great that Joseph is like you. I’m just impatient. I’m extremely irritable when something happens. Sometimes I just explode into a temper. It gets me so angry every time.”

After Ava brought Jasper upstairs, Natalie did not ask Ava to bring Jasper to get his toys. Instead, she communicated with her son for a while about

going to see his little cousin before getting his toy.

In Christina’s room, three women were sitting and chatting. Jasper was sitting beside the cradle. His gaze met with the eyes of little baby in the cradle. It was as though both of them wanted to see who could maintain eye contact the longest.

Natalie said, “Jasper, he’ll be shy if you look at him like that.”

Jasper said, “No. He doesn’t know how to speak.”

Natalie blinked at his response.

Christina raised her hand to her mouth. Such behavior was expected of the son of Trevon. “Your mother-in-law is taking care of the twins?”

“Yes, we came out to relax for a few days. Rachel and Theo insisted that we come out. If we don’t, Theo might chase us out.”

In order not to burden Christina, Natalie told half-truths.

Ava’s phone vibrated. She took it out and saw that it was from Frank. [I’m going to buy a toy for Jasper.]

Ava replied, [Alright. Drive carefully.]

Frank responded, [Sure.]
