Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Ava had already woken up. Perhaps the little guy downstairs had made too much noise and woke her up.

Frank walked over and held her waist. "Did Harper wake you up?" The little guy's happy laughter could be heard in the room. Ava asked, "No, I've had enough sleep. Is he playing something fun downstairs? He sounds so happy." Frank replied, "I just bought him some toys." Ava looked at him. Frank explained, "It's not that he doesn't like your toys. His preferences are more special.” Ava could not help but ask, "What does he like? | asked him yesterday. He looked like he wanted to say something. However, he didn't say anything in the end. | can't figure out his preferences.” Frank wanted to say that all of them could not guess his preferences. He sighed and replied, "He likes the robot vacuum. In the future, you can buy him things that can rotate.” "Things that can rotate. He likes things that can rotate." Ava raised her chin in confusion. Why would Harper like things that could rotate? Frank had a helpless expression as he explained, "It's probably the aftereffects of sitting on the robot vacuum since he was young." Ava thought to herself that she would make sure her babies would not have access to it after she gave birth.

The living room was filled with the sounds of Harper playing with the spinning top. The commotion lasted for some time. Frank felt that he had made a mistake. He looked apologetically at Ava beside him. "I didn't know he could play with it for so long." "It's fine. It's lively. | don't think he's noisy. I'm planning to get him a different type next time." As she spoke, she raised her phone and showed it to Frank. She was not lying. She had been browsing on the online shopping platform. The cart page showed she had added several types of cool spinning tops.

Frank knew she doted on their nephew. Frank said, "I'll teach him how to play with the plane tomorrow." He thought about teaching Harper when Ava was not taking her afternoon nap.

Inside the living room. Grace rubbed her temples. Her head was also buzzing from the noise. "Harper, let's rest for a while.

Come over and have some fruits." Harper was having fun. He was unwilling to stop playing. "No, it's fun." Grace was about to persuade Harper further when Edward and Rose came in from the door. Seeing that his parents had arrived, the little guy proudly showed off the spinning top his uncle had bought. "Daddy, Mommy, look." "Who bought this? So cool. Let Mommy play with it." Rose squatted down and prepared to play with her son. Harper was afraid that his mother did not know how to play. He squatted down at the side and reached out his cute little hand to guide Rose. He pulled the line and pressed the button.

Rose successfully spun the top under her son's command. Seeing the bright smiles on the mother and son, Edward stood at the side and smiled.

What happened next made his smile deepen. Rose also felt that it was fun. She asked Grace, "This toy is not bad. It's cool. Did you buy it?" Grace did not dare to snatch the credit. "Your brother bought it. There's still a pile over there." Rose turned around and glanced at the toys in the corner. At that moment, Frank and Ava had just come downstairs. Rose smiled and replied, "Why didn't he buy me one too? | can compete with Harper." There was silence in the living room.

Edward was indulgent when it came to Rose. He would do whatever his wife liked. He had decided. "I'll go buy it now." Rose quickly tugged at Edward's pants. She stopped him. "I was just joking. There's no need. I'll take turns to play with Harper.

Shall we, Harper?" Harper agreed immediately. "Yes, sure.” The living room only resumed its peace momentarily. It was soon filled with screams and laughter. Rose's return had made the atmosphere livelier. The commotion was louder than before. Edward was grinning. However, Frank was regretful. He would never have thought Rose would enjoy playing with a kid's toy.

me to deliver.” Frank nodded. He felt that it was a good idea. Hackett's wife had also helped Rose and Natalie. Ava would not be so nervous if her acquaintance helped her deliver. "Yes, it's up to you." Edward spoke. He had been silent all this while. No one expected him to speak. He suggested sincerely, "Arrange for another doctor.” Hearing that, the people present looked puzzled. They did not know what Edward meant. Edward saw everyone's confused expressions. He took the initiative to explain. "Sherri will be able to pick up the call if Ava delivers in the day. If it's at night, it's hard to get through to her." Hackett and his sister slept exceptionally well. Edward was speechless. He thought that it was better to have a backup plan. He envisioned it would be chaotic if

words. Seeing her daughter-in-law's troubled expression, she bent down and put the fruits down. "Don't refuse her then. Frank, prepare another doctor. Do the same as Trevon. If you can't get to Sherri, use the other doctor." Sherri would not nag at Ava then.

Sherri will be able to get through with a phone call this time. She has already prepared something invincible. It will wake her up in seconds.” Ava poked her head out. She asked curiously, "Is there such a thing? What is it?" Rose patted her chest and said reassuringly, "I don't know what that thing is either. | can't find a precise word. How should | say it? Anyway, you'll know when the time
