Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

A week later, Ava was discharged from the hospital. Trevon and Natalie cto help. They only left after Ava and the others got into the car and left.

The Roberts family officially started raising children. Rose went to the Roberts family from tto tto see her nephew and niece, but they would all go hat night.

Ava needed sufficient rest just after giving birth, and Rose was considerate in this regard.

Joseph persuaded Daniel to stay in Athana for a bit longer before returning. After much discussion, and with Christina's advice, Daniel and Emma ultimately decided to return to Sapphire City two months later.

On weekends, Trevon and Natalie would cto the Roberts family to play and eat. The two children would slowly grow up, and there would be more supplementary classes. They would be busier.

The twins had already started learning the martial arts. Even Jasper had started lessons in mixed martial arts.

Ruby had a gentle personality and chose music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. These were all classes that Ruby had requested to attend.

Whether it was Sherri or Hackett, they had never wanted to forcefully nurture their child into a young lady from a wealthy family. The couple's thoughts were surprisingly the same. As long as their little darling was happy, it was fine.

According to Hackett, even if Ruby was useless, he could still afford to support her because he didn't lack money.

It was just a matter of selling a few more houses.

According to Trevon, having Ruby as a diligent and obedient daughter was the luckiest thing that ever happened to Hackett.

Natalie's two daughters were not interested in piano at all, but Olivia was quite interested in calligraphy and dancing, so she followed Ruby to class.

Every day, Sophia practiced either martial arts or marksmanship. Recently, she had becintrigued watching her brother practice mixed martial arts, and she had expressed her desire to join in. She had stuck to Trevon, hoping he would allow her to train alongside her brother. However, Trevon, despite having been indulgent with his daughter, remembered Theo's advice and had refused her request.

Furthermore, Trevon insisted that she master one thing before delving into another, advising her not to try to learn everything at once. Otherwise, he explained, she wouldn't becproficient in any of them.

Seeing that her father was unwilling to compromise, Sophia could only agree obediently. However, she did not give up. She said that once she mastered martial arts, she would definitely learn mixed martial arts, and she asked Trevon to promise that he wouldn't stop her.

Trevon and Sophia even made a pinky promise childishly.

One month later, on this weekend, the children were all gathered at the gym on the third floor of Grand Manor.

Ruby and Olivia were practicing in the dance studio. Sophia and Liam were practicing martial arts, while Jasper was learning mixed martial arts.

Sherri was walking slowly on the treadmill. Hackett was pedaling. Trevon and Natalie were sparring on the stage.

The two of them exchanged blows.

Seeing that Trevon was kicked by Natalie and was forced to take a few steps back, Hackett and Sherri stopped exercising and becinterested.

The couple moved in unison. Each of them pulled a stool and sat down below the stage to watch the two of them fight. Hackett even went to the coffee table and grabbed a handful of peanuts. He fetched a trash bin and two bottles of drinks, preparing to enjoy peanuts while cheering as a cheerleader.

He stylishly tossed a peanut into his mouth, excitedly waving his arms. "Alright! Natalie, beat him up! Beat him up good!" He shared two-thirds of the peanuts into Sherri's palm, saying, "You finish these, and I'll go get more. They taste pretty good. Natalie, don't hold back! Hit him hard! Really give it to him." On the stage, Natalie kicked Trevon's shoulder blade again. Trevon was kicked back a few steps by Natalie.

Hackett's noise made Natalie want to pull him up and beat him up.

Trevon turned around and glanced coldly at Hackett, who was watching. As he attacked Natalie, he said, "If you don't want us to fight you later, shut your mouth." Hackett shrugged nonchalantly and peeled off peanut skins with his teeth, resembling a hamster. "Continue. | just want to make the atmosphere more exciting. | didn't even charge you." Trevon rolled his eyes. "Thank you." Hackett automatically blocked the other meaning in Trevon's words and replied, "You're welcome." Hackett sat diagonally on the back of the chair with his legs crossed. "Natalie, Sophia is completely inherited from you. She likes martial arts, mixed martial arts, and marksmanship." Sophia was almost like a boy. However, Hackett thought to himself. He wouldn't dare say that in front of Trevon, fearing he might actually be dragged into a beating.

Sherri retorted, "What do you know? She's a cool girl." Hackett cursed in his heart. Indeed, Sophia was a cool girl. They had been practicing martial arts for a few days, and during the sparring sessions, his son lost to Trevon's daughter every day. At first, Hackett felt quite helpless.

But as his son continued to lose many times, Hackett stopped caring. In the end, even when his son won, it took him by surprise.

The two people on the stage fought for an hour and were drenched in sweat. Sherri handed a towel to Natalie.

Natalie took it and wiped her face and neck. She panted and said, "Do you know what Sophia's dream is?" When Trevon saw that Natalie was done wiping, he took the towel hanging around her neck and wiped his face and neck. The corners of his mouth curled up. Perhaps he had thought of his daughter's dream.

Hackett was eating peanuts and casually guessed. "To be a mixed martial arts coach?" Natalie shook her head. They probably wouldn't be able to guess it even after a night.

Seeing Natalie shake her head, Sherri also started to be curious. She guessed according to Sophia's hobby. "A dance teacher or martial arts coach?" Trevon, who was still smiling, answered with pride. "A soldier. A special forces soldier." Both Hackett and Sherri were shocked. It was so amazing.

Sherri asked the main point. "But how did Sophia know about the special forces?" If no one told her, she probably wouldn't know.

Natalie sat on the ground with her legs crossed and pressed down on the legs on both sides. Trevon, who was beside her, used a towel to wipe the sweat on Natalie's face.

Sherri and Hackett were already used to the intimacy between the two of them.

Natalie said, "She knows it when she watches television. Sophia never watches cartoons. She watches military documentaries. She liked them even when she was very young." Rachel had asked the two sisters what they wanted to do when they grew up. Olivia pointed at the television and said she wanted to be a teacher. Sophia pointed at the special forces soldier on the television whose face was covered in camouflage.

The whole family felt that Sophia was just a whim. The little guy probably felt that it was fun to draw things on her face. After all, she was still young.

However, the couple did not take the little girl's dreams seriously. After all, people would change when they grew up. Children's thoughts were fleeting.

Jasper had no choice but to inherit the family business in the future.

The few of them chatted for a while. Just as they were chatting happily, Hackett's son cin crying.

This scene was too familiar. Sherri and Natalie held their foreheads at the stime, while Trevon curled his lips into a faint smile. His tongue pressed against one cheek to suppress an even bigger smile.

Hackett, on the other hand, had a dark expression on his face. From the moment his son entered, he knew the reason. He didn't even need to ask and knew the cause. His son was followed by the formidable Sophia, hands confidently clasped behind her back.

The coach was a young lady in her thirties. Her house was filled with medals and trophies. Trevon took a considerable amount of tto carefully select her as Sophia's coach.

The coach looked apologetically at the crying Liam. "Mr. Wilson, I'm sorry. | couldn't stop them in time. I'll pay more attention next time." This was not the first time. The coach was also helpless. Every tthese two sparred, the scene was always intense.

Coupled with the special status of the two little guys, the coach could not use brute force to separate them.

Trevon retracted his smile. "It's fine. You can leave first. The winner takes all. It's a normal ending." Both Natalie and the coach were speechless for a moment.

"Sophia." As Natalie's voice fell, Trevon touched his nose with one hand to signal his daughter to quickly admit her mistake. Sophia received the secret signal and quickly went forward to apologize. "Mom, | was wrong. Liam, I'm sorry." Sherri wondered, 'This little girl is really clever. At such a young age, her insight is already so sharp.’ Natalie took a deep breath. Her head was buzzing. This girl was always on the path of making mistakes and admitting her mistakes.

Hackett patted his son's shoulder and comforted him. "It's okay. Alright, don't cry. Can't you save the strength to cry and use it for training? Besides, Sophia is a girl. We're men. Let her have her way." Sophia added, "He daydreamed during class." Liam wanted to say that Sophia didn't look like a girl at all, but considering that he couldn't beat her, he didn't dare to say it.

Whether it was arguing or fighting, Liam always ended up losing to Sophia. The more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt, and his crying beceven louder. Several people were a bit bewildered by the sound of his crying. Liam couldn't seem to stop crying, perhaps feeling embarrassed by the situation.

Just as everyone was unsure how to comfort him without hurting Liam's pride, Sophia, like an older sister, put her arm around Liam's shoulder. She whispered something in his ear, and suddenly, Liam's son stopped crying abruptly.

Everyone looked at Sophia. They wanted to ask what she said, but Sophia shrugged her shoulders and said that it was nothing. Coaxing a child was so easy.

On the way back, the three children were in the backseat. Natalie was still very curious about how her daughter had coaxed Liam. She turned around and tilted her head to look at Sophia. "Sophia, what did you say to Liam just now?" Sophia crossed her arms and acted like an adult. "I will let him win tomorrow." Olivia smiled. "That's impossible. Tomorrow is a new day. Who can guarantee anything?" Liam would still lose.

When would Sophia's words count? Only Liam believed her.

Jasper sneered. He pursed his lips and sat upright. As he grew up, he becmore and more like Trevon. He turned to look at the scenery outside the window.

Natalie was skeptical. She narrowed her eyes and stared at Sophia. "Liam stopped crying after you said this to him?" "Yes," Sophia replied, not bothering to converse with the crybaby. He was just too noisy, and she was merely trying to comfort him out of kindness.

Natalie still didn't believe it. She felt that Sophia wasn't telling the truth, but she didn't want to continue asking.

Natalie slowly turned around and said to the man driving, "I'll go to the Roberts family to see Ava tomorrow. Are you going? | plan to bring the three children along." Trevon suggested, "How about going at night? I don't want to see that haggard man every twe go." "Hmm, what?" Natalie didn't react in time.

"If we go in the morning, we'll see an extremely tired man, but if we go at night, we'll at least see someone normal," Trevon added.

Understandingly, Natalie chuckled. "Indeed, ever since these twins were born, Frank hasn't had a good night's sleep. In the first few days after the little boy was born, even though he didn't sleep at night, at least he could nap during the day. Now that he's growing, he stays awake during the day too and plays straight into the early morning, keeping his eyes wide open without sleeping. Even if Frank manages to put him to sleep during the day, his nap is as short as an adult's power nap. To take care of them, Frank has flipped his day and night rhythm. It's a crazy pace. Back when we had our three kids, it wasn't as hectic." After saying that, Natalie sincerely sympathized with Frank.

Trevon gloated and smiled. "All because he used to sleep so much every day. | guess he prepaid all his future sleep back then." Before the children were born, Frank slept very comfortably. Now, he had a hard time.
