Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 453

At this moment, everyone had taken their seats by the long table in the courtyard of the Roberts villa.

On one side sat Trevon, Natalie, Ava, and Frank, and on the other sat Hackett, Sherri, Rose, and Edward.

Trevon had been taking care of Natalie since he took his seat. “Honey, I’ll get you whatever you want to eat. Let’s eat less roasted neat. It’s not healthy enough. Do you want kiwis?”

Trevon was worried that she might suffer from constipation in the later stages of pregnancy.

Therefore, he didn’t dare to let Natalie eat too much roasted meat, and she planned to do as he said in case he got too nervous. “Get me a can of yogurt and that little cake. I feel like having something sweet.”

Trevon reached out and placed the stuff Natalie wanted to eat in front of her. “Okay”

On the other hand, Ava acted differently. She did not need Frank’s help to get the things she needed. She reached out to take them and asked Frank beside her, “What do you feel like eating, Frank? I’ll get it for you?

She could not have Frank take care of her every time. She had to learn to take care of him so that they could work hard together.

Hearing what she said, Frank was stunned by her sudden care. A few seconds later, he smiled and said, “I’ll have whatever you get me.”

Sherri did not look like a pregnant woman at all. She stood up and sat down. She helped herself with the food. Hackett, who was beside her, felt greatly troubled. “Give me some leeway to show my concern, dear. You should be seated”

“I’ve given you the chance to do that. Forget it, you will do it. Help me get a glass of lemonade. It looks quite delicious”

Rose was taking care of Edward, but Edward was obviously taking care of her too. It could be said that they were taking care of each other. Rose took care of Edward because they were in the Roberts villa after all. Other than being his girlfriend, she was still the host.

Edward took care of Rose because he was a gentleman. He was deeply rooted in the belief that guys should take care of ladies and take responsibility.

“It’s rare for all of us to get together. We can’t just sit around and eat and drink. We have to show our strengths, such as singing or dancing.”

Hackett made that proposal when he looked across everyone at the table.

Sherri felt that her husband was right. She picked up a grape and stuffed it into Hackett’s mouth as a form of praise. “That makes sense.”

“Thank you, honey. Mwah!”

“Mwali

Trevon looked at Hackett in disdain. “Do you need to get Frank’s room?”

Frank objected. ‘It’s not for other people.”

He thought, “That room is for me and Baby Ava. What is Trevon thinking? How could he possibly ask some couple to use my room?”

Natalie said, “Fortunately, Stella said that she wasn’t available today. Otherwise, she would have had a hard time dealing with the couples here.”

Everyone present was in pairs. Stella would be alone if she came over without anyone to accompany her. The only one who could accompany he was Pat.
