Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

At the Roberts family’s villa, Rose brought the child to the Roberts family as soon as he got off work. In the living room, Harper sat on the sweeper and spun around in circles. He was having a lot of fun, and he kept clapping and cheering.

Ava felt a bit embarrassed seeing this beautiful scene. To prevent any awkwardness, she had to spoil the atmosphere a bit. With Frank’s observational skills, she couldn’t act for too long.

Ava was self-aware in this regard.

Ava hid her emotions well, acting as usual. She affectionately sat down on the sofa with Frank, wearing a smiling face.

Glancing at the expressions of everyone in the living room, after a few seconds of mental preparation, she slightly opened her lips, smiling sweetly. “Grace, I plan to return to Sapphire City tomorrow.”

Upon hearing this, the whole living room, except for the little one who was still excited, turned their gaze to Ava, seeking to confirm the authenticity of the sudden announcement.

Without anyone speaking, Ava continued, “There’s also some homework I didn’t bring. I plan to go back and catch up. I hope you understand.”

After saying this, she shrugged apologetically, looking a bit helpless.

The first to react was Grace, who arranged, “Frank can go to Sapphire City to fetch it. Bring it here for you to work on.”

Grace also hoped that her daughter-in-law would stay a few more days. Ava’s personality was likable, making it feel like having an extra-lovely daughter.

Frank subconsciously squeezed the hand of the young girl beside him. He was puzzled, wondering why she suddenly decided without discussing it before they left.

All of them found her decision to be rather unconventional.

Ava was afraid that Frank would suspect. She turned around and coquettishly said, “Oh, I didn’t intentionally keep it from you. I just didn’t want you to feel reluctant to let me go. I told my brother about returning half a month earlier before I came. If you don’t believe me, you can call him.”

Actually, Ava did not tell her brother. This time, she went back because of the surprise. It was a last-minute decision. She bet that Frank would not call her brother to confirm it.

As expected, Frank believed Ava’s words without a doubt. This was because his little girl did not lie and was very obedient. He compromised and said, “Okay, I’ll send you back.”

Seeing Frank was a little down, Ava almost couldn’t hold it in anymore. He wanted to tell her about the surprise in advance, so he closed his eyes and said, “No need. Pat and the bodyguards are following me. If you go, I won’t be able to study. I’ll have to think about playing again.”

Ava’s words were reasonable and flawless. Even Frank could not bear to disturb her studies.

She pursed her lips and did not say anything else. Her eyes showed reluctance, and her grip on Ava tightened.

Rose also saw his brother’s reluctance and said regretfully, “I was still thinking of shopping with you tomorrow to buy some clothes for the changing seasons. Why did you go back? Do you want to stay for a few more days?”

Following the sweeper around the sofa, Edward caught the evasive look in Ava’s eyes. After thinking for a moment, he still could not find the reason for his sudden departure. Ava was at the base today, so Natalie must know the reason.

However, this was not something he could inquire about, and it was not appropriate to alert them.
