Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 243

The sound of the meat sizzling on the barbecue pan, and pulling cheese on the pizza, were the

greatest temptations for those with no control over their appetite. At the same time, it marked the

beginning of guilt for those trying to lose weight.

Sherri and Ava loved such lively gatherings the most.

The table was rectangular, and the size of the table was just right. It was enough to accommodate

everyone, and it did not seem crowded.

Trevon’s future family of three. Ava and Rose, sat in the same tow

Hackett’s future family of three sat in the row opposite, together with Frank, Terrell, and Jim.

Everyone at the table was overflowing with smiles. Only Frank’s expression did not change. He was

like a robot, quietly cating the barbecued meat. His expression was like a wooden block

As the host of this gathering. Trevon set down his tableware and raised his glass, gesturing to

everyone. In a deep voice, he said, “It’s rare for all of us to be together. Let’s make a toast”

Upon hearing this, everyone at the table subconsciously picked up the glasses in their hands. Some

were juices, and some were wine. Even Ruby and Jasper picked up the glasses containing fruit juice.

Hackett smiled and continued. “It’s rare for Mr. Wilson to be so generous and invite us on a trip. This

cup has to be raised.”

Frank slowly put down his tableware and raised his glass in Trevon’s direction. “It’s rare to see you eat

with your left hand. You have to drink”

Trevon Wilson,

Natalie thought. “They’re indeed the best of friends. Taking every opportunity to tease each other,

always wanting to tease

each other to death”

After clinking glasses, everyone raised their heads and emptied the glasses. Then. Ava suddenly stood

up and raised the drink in her hand

She wanted to drink alcohol, but Natalie was afraid to let her drink it. Ultimately, she had no choice but

to settle for a non-alcoholic beverage.

At this moment, it was as if she was standing on the podium to give a speech. She cleared her throat

and said. “Ladies and gentlemen, this is my first time coming to Athana. I’m happy to be able to get to

know all of you, especially Frank. I want to announce something in front of everyone.”

All the statements are progressively leading to the main topic gradually.

After pausing for a few seconds. Trevon seemed to have guessed what Ava wanted to say. The

corners of his mouth curled into a beautiful smile as he looked at Frank

Natalie tugged at Ava’s dress, signaling her not to speak out of turn. She then turned around, looking

slightly worried at Trevon, but received a reassuring nod, indicating that she should stay calm.

Rose thought. “Is she going to make a public confession? That is so daring of her.”

Hackett and the others looked up at Ava, who suddenly stood up. Everyone’s faces were waiting for

Ava’s words. Their gossipy hearts were bursting, and they almost blurted out, “Hurry up and say it.”

Only Frank was the calmest at the table. He was still eating the barbecued meat, drinking beer and

beverages leisurely. It was unknown if he was indeed calm or pretending to be.

Ava glanced at Frank, who was eating, and said generously. “Tve decided to pursue Frank from this

day onwards…”

Frank, who was eating barbecued meat, suddenly choked. He coughed till his head hurt, and he felt

very uncomfortable. “Cough cough, cough, cough, cough..”

The cough interrupted Ava’s words. Hackett looked like he was watching a good show. “You’re not

sensible at all. How can you interrupt Ava’s confession! Where are your manners”

Then, Hackett turned around and wanted to continue listening to the gossip. He comforted Ava, who

was standing. “Ava, please continue. We like to continue listening”

After coughing for a whale, Frank finally recovered. He lost his appetite and put down his tableware.

Leaning back heavily in his chair, he crossed his arms in front of his chest, as if saying, “Go on,

continue.”

He looked at Ava with interest

His straightforward gaze made Ava’s heart skip a beat. Her heart pounded, and her ears turned slightly

red

Ava gave herself a mental pep talk to avoid feeling awkward. She decided to take action on her

decision because actions speak louder than words. With a confident smile, she raised her glass

towards Frank and said, “Frank, for the next couple of weeks, every single day I’m in Athana will be a

day I will be pursuing you. Are you ready to take it?”

After saying that, she raised her head and emptied the glass as though she was cheering herself on.

This was a challenge given to Frank in front of everyone. Where Ava would be pursuing Frank, and he

has to accept it. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

No one present did not admire Ava’s bravery. Only Natalie was worried. She was afraid that Frank

would reject Ava in front of everyone. Ava might lose her confidence if it happened.

However, the result was unexpected. Frank did not refuse or agree.

After listening to Ava’s words, Frank picked up the tableware again and continued eating. It was as if

the person who got confessed earlier was not him and did not care about the gazes everyone cast at

him.

No one could figure out what Frank was thinking, and Ava didn’t mind. Regardless of his attitude, she

had her plan. If she could not win him over in the next few weeks, she would return to Sapphire City

alone.

Rose sat beside Ava and gave her a big thumbs-up. “Ava, I’ve never admired anyone in my life. You’re

the first. Only a blind person would not fall for you.”

After saying that, she even rolled his eyes at Frank, who was still eating

All you know is cat. Did you die of hunger in your previous life?

Hackett and Sherri also gave Ava a thumbs-up. Wasn’t she amazing? After all these years, no one has

ever dared to confess to Frank so openly in front of others.

This guy is famous for not being interested in women. Otherwise, Lily Stuart from the Lithern Club

would have succeeded. long ago.

Her feelings for Frank were obvious.

Natalie was restless. She glanced at Frank and only saw calmness in him. He was being confessed,

but he was still eating happily as though nothing had happened.

Trevon noticed her concern. He pressed her nape gently with his left hand as if comforting her. He

leaned closer to her ear, speaking in a lowered voice that only they could hear, “Don’t worry. He did not

reject Ava to prevent hurting her. This is the first time he has softened his approach. In the past, he

would have been more cutting with his words, crushing others feelings.”

Natalie tilted her head and asked him if it was true, a mix of belief and doubt on her face. Trevon

continued, “It’s true. The headliner from the Lithern Club had shown interest in Frank before, but he

replied that they were like a boss-employee relationship, and if she didn’t want to continue her job, she

could go somewhere else.”

Natalie thought, “This is ruthless. Although he didn’t explicitly say he did not like her, the weight of his

words conveyed. more than that. It’s a clear message to the headliner from the Lithern Club that they

will always have a boss-employee relationship and nothing more. Anyone with a brain can understand

that, so Ava is quite lucky. Frank did not say a single word in response.”

Trevon looked at the woman in front of him. She was deep in her thoughts. He pinched the back of her

nape and said, “What do you want to eat? I’ll get it for you.”

Natalie said, “Ill get the food for you. You had only just learned how to use your left hand.”

“Okay, I do enjoy you taking care of me. Hopefully, I can also enjoy it in other aspects.”

Natalie blushed slightly at his flirtatious remark and lowered her gaze as she picked up some food from

the barbecue pan and placed it on his plate, saying, “You can’t shut your mouth from eating, can you?”

Trevon continued to lower his body. “Sure, use your mouth to guarantee it can be shut.”

Under the table, Natalie reached out and pinched his firm waist. Trevon did not feel any pain at all.

Instead, the smile on his lips widened.

Hackett was sitting beside Frank. He said in disdain, “Aren’t you embarrassed? Ava confessed to you,

but you didn’t react at

all.”

Frank said in a low voice, “If it’s going to rain, it will. I could not stop Ava from confessing to me. It

would be impolite to do so. I am a man of culture.”

Hackett wanted to say, “Do you have any words in your vocabulary that align with culture! You are just

trying to flatter yourself.”

Sherri, Rose, and Ava were chatting enthusiastically with their heads close to each other. They were

talking so loud that they did not hear Frank’s words.
