Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 562

At eleven o’clock, someone knocked on Ava’s door. Frank went to open the door sleepily. When he opened the door, he saw that it was Joseph. He rubbed his messy hair and yawned. His voice was slightly hoarse. “What’s wrong?”

There was a drawing on Frank’s chest. It was Ava’s masterpiece. Joseph’s sharp eyes saw it and he automatically looked away.

“Still not awake?” Joseph raised his hand and looked at his watch. It had been almost nine hours. No matter what, he probably should have seven hours of sleep.

“I’m about up. What’s up?” Frank opened his eyes with great effort and yawned again.

“You have to go to the airport and pick up Natalie and the others. They’ll be here around 12 o’clock.” Joseph didn’t care if Frank was awake or not. He just told him what to do.

Frank did not refuse. He pinched the spot between his eyebrows and replied, “Yes, okay.”

After saying that, Joseph thoughtfully closed the door again. Frank stood at the doorway for a while and walked straight to the bed. Ava was still sleeping soundly. He could not bear to wake her up.

He planned to pick them up himself so he went into the bathroom to wash up. Ten minutes later, he chose a simple outfit from the wardrobe. He still liked to wear jeans, a white T-shirt, and a black cardigan.

He wrote a line of words on a Post-it note on the table and placed it on the other pillow. The Post-it note was usually used by Ava to write notes for school. It happened to be useful now.

When Emma saw Frank coming down, he was already dressed. She asked gently, /Why didn’t you sleep a little longer?”

-“I’m going to go pick… them up.” It occurred to him that Natalie and

Trevon were now related to him through Ava. For some reason, he was a little unaccustomed to it and he was a little tongue-tied.

Emma smiled. “It’s fine. You can just call them by their names as you always do. Remember to eat something before leaving.” As she spoke, she asked the servant to bring up the breakfast that was kept warm in the pot.

Frank picked coffee and a boiled egg. “That’s enough. Thank you very

much, Emma.”

Upon hearing this, Emma was stunned by his sudden politeness for a moment before she quickly reacted. She smiled and said, “Drive slowly. Let Pat go together with you.”

Frank took a sip of coffee. The hot beverage warmed his stomach. He shook his head. “There is no need. It’s not far.”

After Frank left, Emma still instructed the men to follow them just in case. “Pat, bring a few people along with you and follow behind Mr. Roberts to protect their safety.”

Pat said respectfully, “Yes, madam.”

Angie was in the courtyard. When she saw that Frank had gone out, she walked into the living room and asked Emma, “Is Frank going back now?” “No. He went to pick up my niece and Trevon.”

Emma always had a smile on her face. She gave off a very comfortable feeling. She was wearing a white silk dress that cinched in at the waist and a long blue cardigan. She stood upright and looked elegant.
