Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 103

Natalie and Sherri chatted for a while. The two of them began to recall the entire process of entering

the Sapphire Training Base and becoming the children’s mother.

In the blink of an eye, more than two years had passed.

Thanks to the Turner family’s influence, no one outside knew that Sherri had given birth.

They only knew that she was getting fatter and fatter by the day. In the end, she was so fat that she

could not even walk. She took two months off and looked so beautiful when she returned. During this

period, many people asked Sherri why she was as fat as an inflatable doll back then and what illness

she had. Sherri smiled and said that she took liposuction.

Actually, Joseph had asked his friend to make the fake fat for Sherri. It was similar to changing her

clothes. Every day, she would bring fake flesh to the training base. Her skin felt exactly the same as the

real skin, giving people the illusion that she was fat to hide her pregnancy.

Natalie was really pregnant before them, so everyone believed that she carried twins.

Moreover, someone from the Turner family delivered the babies.

Joseph also changed the birth dates of the two children. The actual birth date was August 28, but the

information was changed to almost a month later, September 20,

It was also because of the Turner family’s influence that no outsiders had come to disturb them for the

past two years. Only Edward had come a few times. Without Natalie’s approval, the Turner family

would not let anyone in

While they were thinking, the sound of the door opening and chatting came from downstairs. Natalie

guessed that her uncle and aunt must have returned. It was already past nine o’clock, and they had

shopped for quite a long time.

Sherri and Natalie put on some clothes and went downstairs.

When they reached the staircase, Natalie looked at the bags on the ground and was a little surprised.

This was the first time she had seen her aunt buy so many things. “Uncle, you are back. Aunt, what did

you buy? So many things.”

Daniel looked in the direction of the stairs and smiled dotingly. “The gifts and specialties your aunt and

brother prepared for you are all on the ground. There are also the little darlings’ clothes. If Ava hadn’t

stopped them, the two of them would still think that it wasn’t enough”

Natalie would never have thought that they bought those things all for her. Moreover, they had shopped

so late to buy something for her. Her heart was warm and touched, and she only felt that she had been

pampered a lot.

The love that had been missing for so many years had been filled up in two years. It was almost

overflowing

Even Sherri, who loved shopping, was amazed and touched by the things in this place. In the past few

years, the Turner family people clearly knew that Ruby was not Natalie’s child, but every time Jasper

had something new, Ruby would always

have the same one

The two of them looked at the things on the ground and did not know where to start. They looked at

each other. In the end, it was Ava who pulled them back to their senses. “Don’t just stand there. See if

you like it. Let me tell you, Natalie. Mom and I chose these clothes. I can’t bear to judge my brother and

father’s taste. They’re too old-fashioned.”

As Natalie listened to Ava muttering, her eyes could not help but turn red. It turned out that having

family love was really blissful. After her grandfather passed away, no one was so attentive and

considerate to her.

When Daniel saw the two of them crying, he and Joseph panicked and blamed Ava. “You should stop

talking for a while. You kept talking. Look, you even make Sherri and Natalie cry.”

Only then did Ava stop. She was a little confused. She didn’t say anything. She just introduced what

they bought and complained about her brother and father.

She stood at the side and said anxiously. “Natalie, Sherri, L… I didn’t do it on purpose.”

Sherri wiped her tears and straightened her body. She took a few steps back and bowed deeply to the

elders in front of her. “Thank you”

Emma understood. She walked over with a gentle smile and hugged Sherri. “Sweetheart, you usually

look so carefree. Why do you think so much, just like Natalie? How many times have I said that the

Turner family is also your second home? We’re family. I raised Ruby. Of course, Ruby is also the

Turner family’s baby. If anyone bullies her when she grows up, the Turner family won’t agree.

Ava nodded in agreement. Her appearance couldn’t look cuter.

Natalie laughed after wiping her tears. She hugged Ava’s shoulder and said, “I don’t want to thank you.

I’m afraid of being scolded by Uncle.”

Her words made everyone in the living room laugh. “Ha-ha

Joseph was amused. “Natalie is finally enlightened. It’s not too late.

Natalie thought to herself, “If I dare to say thank you’ at night, you’ll probably have to take turns

lecturing me.”

The things that Emma bought for them were all double portions. After distributing them, she personally

helped them sort

them into the boxes.

There were a total of six large boxes. Natalie’s eyebrows were twitching, but she did not dare to say too

much.

Joseph said, “I’ll send you to Athana on my private plane tomorrow. Don’t worry that you can’t take so

many things with you.”

He could always clearly see Natalie’s awkwardness and thoughts, and he could always help her out in

time.

At 10:30 p.m., Natalie was lying on the bed. At night, Ruby and Jasper were carried to bed by her uncle

and aunt. No matter what, her uncle and aunt had raised them for more than a year. The person who

could not bear to part with the most should be her aunt.

There was a knock on the door. Natalie got up and opened it. She had a little insomnia at night.

Outside the door stood Ava, who was wearing cute card ventilation pajamas and hugging a pillow. She

looked very pitiful. “Natalie, I want to sleep with you tonight. Is that okay?”

Natalie opened the door a little wider and brought Ava in with her arm around Ava’s shoulders. “Of

course, welcome. Come

in*

She glanced at Ava, who was in low spirits, and pulled Ava to the bed. She lifted the blanket for Ava

and said, “Do you really want to go to Athana? Why don’t I talk to Uncle and let you go with me for a

few days?”

Ava crawled under the blanket and tidied up her blanket. She leaned against the back of the bed and

grabbed a doll of Jasper, hugging it in her arms “Dad said that he wanted me to get my graduation

certificate first, but I told him that I’m already in the second semester of my fourth year. Besides, I didn’t

fail any subjects and had the best grades in school.”

Natalie admitted this. Ava’s academic performance had always been outstanding. Now, she was

already the top student at the Computer College in Sapphire City. This year, she was about to graduate

with a professional master’s degree. However, her uncle hoped that Ava would continue to pursue

further studies and study for a few more years. He felt that she was still young and did not need to work

so early. Ava really liked computers. She had the same plan and wanted to learn more.

Natalie advised, “You’ve never left Sapphire City since you were young. Uncle and Joseph have

protected you very well. So far, no one knows that you’re the Turner family’s daughter. If you go with

me to Athana alone, they’ll be so worried. When it’s summer vacation, can you come with Uncle and

the others?”

Ava pouted and rested her chin on the doll. She said gloomily. “You’re all leaving. Rose also said that

she planned to go to Athana. Now, I’m really alone.”

The family was so protective of Ava that she did not have many friends. It was not easy for the family to

liven up for so many years. It was inevitable that Ava would not be used to it if they left all of a sudden.

Natalie thought for a moment. “Are you talking about the pediatrician from Sapphire Hospital? Is she

also going back to Athana!”

Ava nodded with tears in her eyes.

back

Natalie rubbed Ava’s head. Ava’s hair was of good quality. It was thick, black, and soft. She comforted

Ava again and again

Natalie could not bear to see Ava suffer, but she did not have the ability to ensure that there would be

no accidents if sh brought Ava to Athana. If she was not absolutely confident, she could not take this

risk. It was the safest in Sapphire City, There were bodyguards following Ava secretly.

All good things must come to an end. No matter how reluctant she was, she had to leave.
