Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 589

Early the next morning. Everyone was ready for the wedding.

The makeup artists and stylists arrived early at Deepwater Bay, each carrying a substantial suitcase filled with tools and supplies.

Ava, brimming with excitement and anticipation for her wedding day, had awoken before her alarm could chime. She was now seated comfortably, undergoing the finishing touches of her makeup while Natalie, accompanied by Jasper, had come over. Both Ava's daughters had been entrusted to the watchful eyes of their grandparents at home to ensure they wouldn't disrupt their aunt's wedding.

The Wilson family was also expected to join the celebration, they would bring the two kids along with them. Rachel's capability in handling things was unquestionable. Therefore, they had not much to worry about.

Natalie was confident in Rachel's organizational abilities, so she had no worries. However, Natalie was a bit anxious about the activities arranged for the two young ones. Initially against the idea of the girls performing at their aunt's wedding, Trevon believed in their capabilities. Even Frank was sure there would be no issues, backed by Rose's assurance.

With everyone agreeing and her standing alone in opposition, eventually, the minority submitted to the majority.

Stella had already donned her bridesmaid's outfit, a graceful lavender chiffon dress, strapless and exuding a dreamy, romantic aura, complemented by sleek white high-heeled shoes.

"Stella chose to leave her hair cascading freely over her shoulders, skillfully curling it with an iron, applying a touch of hair serum, and elegantly fastening three elongated hair clips on one side. She admired her reflection in the mirror and couldn't help but say, ‘Not bad. Why am | so stunning?" Everyone laughed at her comment, except Rose, who cast a reproachful glance at Stella. "It's genuinely a waste of your beauty.

You're so pretty. How come no one pursues you?" Stella tossed her hair nonchalantly. "How would | know? Maybe they think I'm too good-looking, not on par with the beauty of a goddess like myself," she quipped.

"Seriously," Rose teased, "I've seen a lot of narcissits, you know. But no one is more narcissistic than you." Meanwhile, Natalie stood by her sister, tidying her hair, constantly remaining on the side, just in case her sister felt uncomfortable. Jasper sat bored on the bed, engrossed in a video game on Frank's console.

Children were like that. Long absences made them distant, but they were easy to soothe and quick to familiarize. She patted Ava's shoulder reassuringly. "No big deal. When you graduate and come to Athana, living at home every day, Harper will start clinging to you. Don't worry." Among the three kids, Harper was the eldest. Rose thought she might need to consider when to have a

She probably overslept; it's unlike her to be late at this hour," Natalie said while heading out, dialing Sherri's number, not even allowing Sherri a chance to speak, "Did you come on a snail?" Sherri, slightly out of breath, replied, "I'm at the gate, I'm at the gate. Do you know how fast | drove?" Hearing her friend was at the gate, Natalie instructed, "Take care of Ava for me when you arrive, I'll go check on Alex and see if there is anything | can help.” "Sure thing, I'll be there in a

"Why haven't you put the dress on? Don't you like it? Does it make you feel uncomfortable to wear a dress?" Abit awkward, indeed. It was the strapless top that seemed to give Alex a slight case
