Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 305

The night took over. A black curtain spread across the sky, leaving only a drowsy moon while the stars seemed to be taking a break, hiding away.

Or maybe they were on a shift, waiting for the moon to sleep before they took their turn on duty.

The stars would brighten the sky once the moon fell asleep.

On the balcony, one girl had her legs curled up on a diamond-patterned swing chair while another girl lazily reclined on a beanbag. Both were dressed in pajamas with face masks on their faces,

The face masks they wore were priced at 560 dollars for a pack of 6. They chose to stay the night and use the most expensive face masks.

“Natalie, how do you think Frank will pursue me? Will it be as romantic and thrilling as it is in TV shows?”

Ava looked at Natalie with an eager expression, her excitement barely concealed even under her face mask, causing it to wrinkle slightly

Natalie sat up slightly, reaching over to smooth out Ava’s face mask, and said in a calm tone, “How do you want him to pursue you? You left abruptly tonight. Aren’t you afraid he will give up on you?”

Ava tore off the freshly applied face mask with a burst of excitentent. “No way!”

Her sudden excitement startled Natalie, causing her to sit up as well. She grabbed a tissue and handed it to Ava, saying, “You’re getting too worked up

Natalie continued. “I’m just kidding with you. But from what I’ve seen, Frank won’t give up easily. Your brother-in-law said. he’s not the type to play with others’ emotions. It’s not easy for someone to come all the way from Athana to chase you. It means that you have quite a charm. Now, can you tell me your thoughts?”

Natalie was pretty sure Ava wouldn’t have rejected Frank that easily.

The look of someone in love couldn’t be hidden. One glance was enough to reveal it. And from the way Ava had looked at Frank tonight, there was evident affection, longing, and surprise in her eyes.

Ava’s worries seemed to ease after hearing thus. She lazily reclined back onto the swing chair, legs crossed, using her elbow to prop up her chin. She let out a drawn-out “Well…” before continuing, “I plan to make Frank chase me for three months. I was the one pursuing him before, so now it’s his turn to pursue me. That way, it’s fair, right? Once the time is up. I’ll give him

my answer.

That was how Ava saw it. With love now in her life, she wanted to cherish it. She didn’t want to wait until it was too late to regret it. She didn’t want to add any regrets to her future.

Moreover, she genuinely liked Frank. If he didn’t like her, that would be okay. But Frank seemed to have feelings for her too. Why should she hold back?

Mutual affection was a beautiful thing. Love was a luxury in life, so why would anyone push it away? And why made it more complicated than it needed to be?

However, she still needed to maintain her dignity. After all, Frank had kept her hanging for a while. If, by any chance, he really gave up chasing her, then she would decide what to do. After all, who could predict things that hadn’t happened yet?

Natalie sighed inwardly. Ava might be young, but she had a clear head on her shoulders. She didn’t hesitate in what she wanted, including love. She had everything planned out.

This kind of approach was likely something only Ava would think of.

“Since you already set a time limit for Frank, it seems you’ve already accepted him in your heart. So, does it matter how he pursues you?”

Natalie asked curiously.
