Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 561

The two of them were standing in the middle of the stairs. After a few seconds of silence, Joseph turned his body slightly and let Frank go upstairs. He instructed, “Rest early.”

Frank carried the suitcase with one hand and moved his feet. He replied calmly, “Okay.”

Just an hour ago, Ava shut her book close. She was probably too drowsy that her book was still on the bed. She slept peacefully with a soft toy in her arms. She was only covered by a corner of the blanket. One of her feet was hanging from the edge of the bed.

Frank gently placed his suitcase on the floor and closed the door behind him. He walked to the bed and reached out with his well-defined hand to remove the book on the bed. Then, he helped Ava put her leg back on the bed and covered her properly with the blanket. He bent over and reached out to help her tidy up the loose hair on her face.

He looked at the person on the bed gently.

Perhaps it felt itchy, the little girl shook her head and continued to sleep. Looking at the kitten-like girl, Frank smiled. Reluctantly, he got up and took his pajamas from the wardrobe before going straight to the bathroom to take a shower.

Fifteen minutes later, Frank came out of the bathroom with a simple towel wrapped around him. His upper body was exposed to the air. He lifted the blanket and lay under it, gently removing the soft toy in Ava’s

arms.

When the toy was taken away, Ava was not pleased. She frowned and made a noise. Frank slowly lay down and pulled her into his arms.

In her sleep, Ava breathed in a familiar scent and felt a familiar sense of security. She opened her sleepy eyes and saw the face that she had been thinking about day and night.

Ava blinked in disbelief. She opened her eyes again and tried to see clearly. She stared at Frank in a daze.

Seeing Ava like this, Frank knew that she was pleasantly surprised. He lowered his voice and said, “It’s not a dream. It’s me.”

Upon hearing this, Ava became excited and instantly sobered up. She reached out and wrapped her arms around Frank’s neck tightly. Her little

mouth began to move non-stop as she spoke, “Why are you here? If you didn’t tell me, I would have thought that I was dreaming.”

Her tone was soft, happy, excited, and coquettish. Frank couldn’t help but lower his head and kiss her on the lips. “I learned it from you. It’s an ambush.”

“I like it. Keep it up.” Under the dim light, the two of them fell silent. Through Ava’s pajamas, they could hear each other’s breathing and heartbeat. Frank’s dark eyes met Ava’s clear

gaze.

It took only an instant before the chemistry exploded between them. Their lips met in a kiss. They poured their affection and passion into the kiss. It spoke volumes of how much they missed each other. Desire spread through their bodies, transmitted to every cell. The heat within them rose bit by bit.

A moment later, Frank stopped moving. Ava understood what he meant from his eyes. Her eyes were misted as she took the initiative to say, “It’s not here yet. It will come in a few days.”

Frank tapped her on the nose. It was a gesture of affection. Ava raised her neck and took the initiative to kiss Frank. He held her still. Just as the fiery passion brewed ever higher, they were interrupted by a phone call. It kept ringing persistently.

Frank stopped what he was doing and hung up the phone. However, the phone rang again. Frank hung up once more. In the end, Frank placed one hand on the edge of the bed and stood up slightly. Ava’s hands were still wrapped around his neck as she waited.

He picked up the phone impatiently. His tone was hostile. The call was from Trevon. “What’s wrong with you? What’s the matter?”
