Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 568

Preschool life has quietly passed for over a week.

Parents no longer needed to accompany their children to school. Without

needing parental company, Natalie went to the base in the morning and picked up her son.

However, Sherri cannot accompany her daughter to the parent-child class every day. Hackett accompanied her since Sherri worked hard in the hospital and could not take several hours off daily.

Natalie, who was about to pick up her son at the base, held the car key. She did not change into a luxury car and continued driving the car her brother had bought for her. When she arrived at the parking lot, she opened the car door and was about to get in when she received a call from Ava.

“Hello, Ava.”

On the other end of the line, Ava was very excited. “Natalie, guess where I am?” Natalie held the phone in one hand and started the car with the other. She smiled and said with certainty, “Athana.”

“How do you know? I didn’t even tell you when I was coming. I just arrived. Is Jasper out of school? Natalie, I want to bring Jasper to eat delicious food.” She could feel her sister’s excitement through the screen.

“Soon. I’m on my way to pick them up now. Are you with Frank?” The car had already started.

Ava, ready to take the children out to play, heard the car’s sound on her phone. She quickly said, “Yeah, we are together. You don’t need to go, Frank and I will pick them up. You can continue working.”

The car had already started, but she turned off the engine upon hearing this. She was willing to let Ava go pick them up. “Sure, let Frank handle it, or else they might not come out with you.”

“Okay.”

After turning off the engine, Natalie opened the car door again and got out. He was about to return to the hospital to work when he sent a message to Trevon. [ Frank and Ava went to pick up Jasper already.]

Trevon replied,[Sure, give them an internship for free.]

[Seems like Ava really missed Jasper. What are you thinking about?]

Trevon said, [I meant Frank.]

A man and a woman stood at the entrance of WhizKid Preschool. Frank had informed them in advance. As the school gate opened, he led the girl to find

Hackett’s voice came from behind. “What’s going on? Why are you guys here to pick him up? Trevon’s child isn’t even coming to pick him up.” Hackett thought about how irresponsible Trevon was and wondered how he could be a good father.

Ava explained, “So nice to see you, Hackett! It’s me who wanted to bring Jasper out to play so I came here.”

Hackett casually nudged Frank meaningfully. “Are you on summer break now?”

Frank turned sideways. “Are you blind?”
