Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 307

As the bell rang for the end of class, Ava quickly pulled Alex along, her steps quick and almost like being pursued by a wolf behind her. But indeed, there was a wolf chasing after her.

Ava’s nervous heart raced irregularly, and she did not dare look back. She walked ahead desperately, causing Alex to stumble slightly as she pulled her along. “Sweetheart, where are you planning to hide?”

In the dorm, she needed to ease her mood and regain her composure.

A captivating and magnetic voice with a sense of security came from behind, saying, “Hey, buddy. I need your sweetheart. for a few minutes.”

At those words, the two people hurrying ahead suddenly halted, and Alex lowered her voice to remind Ava. “Sweetheart, I think you can avoid him this time, but not next time. Why not face it head-on? You can confront him with your confidence and address the injustices you have faced”

After saying that. Alex nodded earnestly and encouraged her.

In Alex’s opinion, Frank was quite impressive. Apart from being exceptionally handsome, he also exuded a strong sense of decency. It was not surprising that Ava was attracted to him.

After a moment of contemplation, Ava finally agreed. Alright, she would face it directly then. “You go back to the dorm first.”

Alex replied. “Okay, then I won’t have lunch with you. You probably won’t be able to make it back.”

Ava still had feelings for Frank, but after the last time he rejected her, she felt embarrassed and hurt. She had even deleted. his contact on WhatsApp, intending to erase him from her memory. Yet, here he was, coming back to ask for answers. What about the tears she shed earlier? She felt quite unfair about it.

Mentally preparing herself. Ava turned around, but her small hands were nervously clasped behind her back.

Frank had his hands in his pockets, exuding an explosion of masculine charisma. His cap was reversed on his head, and his mask had been put away in the pocket.

His chiseled features were captivating, making it hard to resist his charm. Ava scolded herself for lacking self-control and trying not to be swayed by his looks. She pretended to remain composed and emotionless as she spoke, “Tell me your

motive.”

Ava wore a white off-shoulder dress with thin straps on the shoulders and a high ponytail adorned with a bright and eye-catching hairband, which seemed to be custom-made.

The earrings were shaped like maple leaves, reflecting autumn colors. They contrasted beautifully with her exposed collarbones, where the skin appeared delicate and tender.

A subtle touch of makeup adorned her peachy cheeks, making her appear like a budding flower. Her facial features were well-defined and captivating, exuding a fresh and charming allure, and strands of hair gently danced around her heart. Frank pressed his hand against the cap on his head and spoke in a low, magnetic tone, “To pursue you.” His voice carried a hint of amusement as he slightly raised his voice in the last word.

With just a few simple words, Ava’s fidgeting hands behind her back began to intertwine. She took a deep breath and finally managed to utter a single word with all her strength. “Alright.”

The visible happiness appeared at the corner of her lips. Even Ava herself did not realize that she had unintentionally revealed her true feelings.
