Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 564

After a while, Ava came out with a dozen brand-new disposable cups. Stella was holding a needle and thread in her hand.

Frank was afraid that Ava could not reach far enough, so he followed closely behind her and prepared to help. Meanwhile, Trevon stood at the door like a boss, preparing to watch them set up everything. He did not intend to lift a finger at all.

As long as Natalie wasn’t busy, it wouldn’t attract his attention at all.

In the distance, Stella stood on her tiptoes and reached out to pull down a branch. Ava was putting strings on the disposable paper cups. Frank helped to hang them. Each person had a division of labor, so it was not tiring to get things sorted. Seeing that Stella beside him was limited in height, Frank glanced at her but did not show any sign of helping her out. He kindly reminded her, “The Turner family has chairs.”

“If you had extended your precious hand, would I have to jump around like a rabbit?” Stella complained.

Frank did not seem to hear Stella’s complaint. He still had no intention of helping. He stood quietly beside Ava and waited to hang the cups.

Stella stopped complaining. In any case, Frank might as well have written “Exclusively for Ava” on his forehead with a black marker.

Seeing that Stella was struggling so much, Ava also found it to be quite tiring for her. “Frank, can you help lower the branch down? I’ll hang the cup up.”

“Sure, I’ll listen to you.”

A branch was pulled down by Frank. Stella immediately reached out to hang a cup. The two of them hung the paper cups from different angles.

Stella cursed in her heart. She should not have come. Now she had to watch Frank and Ava act all romantic while she hung the cups.

Seeing that the three of them were busy, Natalie urged the man who was incredibly free, “Go and help. Otherwise, Stella feels left out.”

Trevon still did not move. His reason for it was very strange. He said in a nice tone, “Jumping will be good for her. She may even grow taller.”

Natalie rolled her eyes. “If you don’t want to go, then don’t. Why bother making

up

that kind of excuse?” she thought.

“What are you all doing?” Joseph’s pleasant voice came from behind as he walked towards them.

Natalie turned her body sideways so that Joseph could see what they were doing. Trevón, however, continued to stand in his original position, not moving at all. It was as if he was glued to the spot. He did not feel that he was blocking the doorway at all.

Joseph glanced at the gun in Trevon’s hand. “Are you preparing to compete with each other?”

“Yes. He’s going to compete with Frank to see who has the best aim. They’re hanging stuff up now,” Natalie explained as she carried her son.

Joseph watched from the doorway as Stella jumped three times but still failed to hook the cup on the branch. She probably wanted to hang the cup higher. However, she was limited by her height. Joseph could not stand watching it anymore. He walked over and reached out to lower the branch. “You can hang it
