Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 506

It happened so suddenly. Ava and Frank had sex last night. Ava’s period came after a shower. However, the young

lady forgot to bring her necessities.

Frank sat on the ground and searched every corner of her luggage, but he could not find what the young lady

needed.

After Rose got pregnant, she stopped using those things and threw away the remaining ones. Grace had them, but

they weren’t of the brand that Ava used.

Moreover, the young lady was very particular on this matter. She only used one brand of sanitary pads. Moreover,

there were requirements for the length and material. It could not be netted. It had to be soft and super thin.

Frank asked gently, “Baby Ava, does your stomach hurt?”

Ava shook her head. Her stomach did not hurt, but she did not dare to lie on the bed. “Frank, do you know how to

buy it? Why don’t you let Joseph buy it for me? Joseph has bought it for me many times.”

She was a little worried that Frank would not know what sanitary pads to buy. After all, Frank had never bought

them before. This time, she was too excited and forgot to pack them into her suitcase.

Frank was also afraid of buying the wrong brand. The young lady only used one brand and two styles. One for the

day and one for the night. It was a waste if he bought too many of them. “Yes. I’ll get Joseph to accompany me this

time. I’ll remember next time. Wait at home. I’ll go out to buy now. Call me if you’re feeling unwell.”

Ava’s menstrual period was very regular. Other than having a lot of menstrual cramps, there was nothing wrong

with her. “Go.” If they didn’t go now, she would probably make more of a mess.

After giving instructions to her, Frank put on a black down jacket and a gray scarf that Grace had bought. He strode

out and came to Joseph’s door. He knocked.

In less than half a minute, Joseph opened the door in his pajamas. Before Joseph could ask, Frank said, “Joseph, go

to the supermarket with me. Baby Ava forgot to bring her pads. I don’t know which brand it is.”

As soon as he said this, Joseph understood.

Without hesitation, he turned around and entered the room again. He took off his pajamas as quickly as possible

and changed into his outside clothes. In a few minutes, he was fully dressed.

Frank watched Joseph change clothes the entire time. His figure was well-proportioned, and one could feel the

firmness of his muscles through his clothes.

“Let’s go.” Joseph ignored Frank sizing him out forthrightly. “You drive.” He was not very familiar with Athana’s

roads.

Because Ava was in a hurry to use it, Frank sped up a little and soon stopped the car in the parking lot of the

supermarket.

Before getting out of the car, Joseph habitually took out a mask from his pocket and put it on. Frank turned around.

“Are you afraid of being eyed by girls?”

Joseph said, “I’m doing this for you. You look better when my face is hidden”

Frank smiled and stopped joking

ound.

At the supermarket, Joseph was not embarrassed by the fact that a big man was buying sanitary products for a girl.

He politely walked up to the staff who was arranging the goods. “Hello. May I ask where the sanitary pads are?”

The staff was stunned for a moment. It was the first time a man had asked her this question. There were boys who

came to buy sanitary products for girls in the supermarket every day. However, many of them were embarrassed

and secretly went. to look for it.

This man was not embarrassed at all. It was rare for her to see someone behave like this.

The supermarket staff politely brought the two of them to the area. Before they left, she even glanced at the

handsome Frank. Frank pretended not to see it and ignored her.

Joseph said, “Thank you. Sorry for troubling you.”

“You’re welcome. Do you need me to show them to you?” The staff was afraid that the two men would not

understand, so she wanted to help them out.

“There’s no need.” There was a sense of distance in his politeness. It was not appropriate for the staff to continue

with introductions, so she could only leave.

The two men were seriously choosing sanitary pads in the ladies section. At this moment, Joseph was like a

salesperson selling his products. He patiently explained to Frank the brand that Ava needed and also asked Frank to

avoid buying the wrong brand in the future. Frank also had to pay attention to the style and the difference in small

fonts.

Some girls who had come to buy sanitary pads were extremely envious. A few of them wanted to get closer. Joseph

was wearing a mask, while Frank was not wearing a hat or mask, and his handsome face was exposed to everyone.

Any girl who was interested in good looks would be attracted.

Before the girls approached, Frank said indifferently, “I’m buying it for my wife.”

A girl had just taken a step forward heard this and retracted her foot. She thought that there would be no follow-up.

Unexpectedly, Frank’s next sentence gave them hope. “You can consider the one beside me.”

Joseph lowered his head to take a pack of sanitary pads and threw it into the shopping basket. He smiled and said in

a low voice, “I’m buying it for my girlfriend. Sorry.”

The girl thought, “They’re messing around with them. Forget it. Let’s go.”

After buying the items, Frank remembered Joseph’s instructions and the details of the selection. He curled his lips

and said playfully, “You have a girlfriend? A tomboy?”

Joseph didn’t answer yes or no. He only said, “It’s a good excuse.”

Frank followed behind him and smiled. He took Joseph’s shopping basket from him and was about to pay when he

met someone familiar in the queue. Angie, who was in the next line, saw Frank and greèted him warmly. “Frank.”

In the distance, Joseph, who was at the other end of the cashier, looked towards the source of the voice. When he

saw who it .was, he pulled up his mask and lowered his head. He took out his phone to send a message.

Frank greeted, “Hello, Angie. I’m here to buy something for my fiancée.”

Angie tiptoed and was disappointed and envious when she saw the sanitary pads on the counter. This boy from the

Roberts family was really not bad. He could come out in the middle of the night to buy these things for his fiancee.

In the end, he and Christina were not fated. “In terms of doting on your wife, you’re the same as your father.”

Frank smiled and did not continue. It was really strange to chat while in the line of the cashier. Everyone around

was listening as if they were putting on a show

Their positions in the queue were the same. They paid at the same time. Angie came alone at night. Christina was

working overtime. Chris went to the hospital for surgery at the last minute. Stella was punished by her sister to read

the Yamin Group’s employee handbook. Charlie went to drink coffee with his friends.

Only Angie was very free. She was bored and could only go to the supermarket to shop. Coincidentally, the shower

gel at home had been used up. Angie did not like having the nanny buy the toothpaste and toothbrush she used. It

was the same for shampoos and shower gels.

When they left the cashier, Joseph was nowhere to be seen. Frank looked around and sent a message to Joseph.

[Where are you hiding?]

Joseph replied, [I’m at the underground parking lot.]

Frank took the things from Angie’s hands. After all, she was older and the two families had a good relationship. As

for why the Yamin family and the Roberts family were so close, it was because William was often injured in the past.

Whenever he was injured, he would go to Chris’s grandfather for treatment.

As time passed, the two families grew very close. After Rose returned, Chris also invited Rose to the Yamin family’s

hospital, but Rose did not go.

“You’re a good child. Did you come alone too?” Angie looked at the two bags in Frank’s hand and nodded

in/satisfaction. “No, someone came with me. He’s my fiancée’s brother.” With that, Frank smiled.

When they arrived at the underground parking lot, Joseph was leaning against the side of Frank’s car. He lowered

his head and was focused on sending a message. [I’m at the supermarket with Frank tonight. I’m not sure if I met

anyone you know. If you need an early performance, let me know in advance.]

Joseph was very smart. He did not directly say ‘your mother! Otherwise, he would be admitting that he had already

investigated the Yamin family thoroughly.

Christina texted back. [Okay, I got it. Thank you.]

Joseph sent/another message. [I will report my itinerary to you while I’m at Athana.]

Christina replied with a single question mark.

Joseph said, [Don’t misunderstand. I’m afraid I’ll cause you trouble.]

Christina typed, [Okay, thanks.]

Frank chatted casually with Angie. They were just making small talk. Frank placed Angie’s shopping bag in her trunk

and glanced at Joseph. He said to Angie, “Angie, we’ll leave first.”

“Alright. Bring your fiancée over to our house when you’re free.”

“Will do.”

Angie watched as Frank left. She sighed feelingly at how good a child he was. She opened the driver’s door and got

in. She

started the car and left. When the car drove out, Joseph’s figure came into view again as she slowly stepped on the

brakes.

At the same time that Angie stepped on the car brakes, Joseph opened the passenger door and got into the car in

time. Angie rolled down the window and wanted to ask something, but there was no way to. The car couldn’t

reverse.

In the end, she could only wave goodbye to Frank and issued an invitation to come to the Yamin family’s residence

again.

After getting into the car, Frank immediately started the car. The little girl was still waiting at home. He had already

wasted long time. As he turned the steering wheel, he said, “That was Christina’s mother just now. You should

know.”

Frank didn’t believe that Joseph hadn’t investigated the Yamin family. Joseph had probably investigated everything

long ago. Naturally, Joseph didn’t answer to this comment.

The silence was a tacit agreement. Frank did not continue to probe further, but he became a chatterbox. It was a

rare occurrence. “Do you know why Christina has never had a boyfriend?”

As expected, Joseph put away his phone and crossed his arms. He leaned against his seat and looked like he was all

ears. “What do you mean?”

Frank’s lips curled up into a smile. If Joseph was interested, it meant that something was up. “Information in

exchange for a gift.”

“After entering the company, you’ve become really calculative.”

Frank continued, “There are many people who like Christina, but very few people have the guts to pursue her. Many

rich second-generation heirs like to find a girlfriend who would hang out all the time with them. Obviously, Christina

is not like that. Moreover, Christina doesn’t fancy such rich second-generation heirs. There’s one more thing you

should know. If the Yamin family is missing Christina, it means that they are missing a vital part of them.

“I can help you confirm that she has never had a boyfriend. As for girlfriends, I don’t know anything about that.”

Joseph was silent. He closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. He suspected that Frank was trying to get

information out of him for no reason. He already knew what Frank had said.

When they got home, Frank took the sanitary pads upstairs and Joseph prepared warm water with honey

downstairs.

“Baby Ava. Here you go. Do you want to wash up?”

Ava took the items from Frank. Before entering the bathroom, she gave Frank an encouraging kiss. “No need. I just

took a shower. Thank you, Hubby.”

Hubby? That was a good term.

Frank leaned against the bathroom door, waiting for the little girl to come out and share their encounter that night.

“We met Christina’s mother at the supermarket.”

The little girl’s voice came from inside. She was a little curious and couldn’t wait to come out and chat. “That pretty

lady from that day? Did Joseph see her?”

One was inside the bathroom while the other was outside. They were chatting through the door.

Frank said, “He saw her.”

However, Joseph had hidden in the car. Frank was a little puzzled by Angie’s complicated gaze when she left. He did

not know what the relationship between Joseph and Christina was.

The only thing he could be sure of was that they should have known each other a long time ago.
