Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 496

Pushing open the door of the villa, Richard and Juana were still sitting on the sofa. Rose raised her hand and looked

at her watch. It was almost one o’clock at the midnight.

Seeing the two elders get up to welcome them, Rose was slightly apologetic. “Richard, Juana, why aren’t you asleep

yet?” She thought, “Are they waiting for us?”

If that was the case, she was really embarrassed. Before going to the Roberts family, she had told the two of them

that they would be back late and asked them to sleep first. But to her surprise, they still waited for them until they

came back.

Juana wiped her hands on her waist and smiled as she handed over the gift in her hand. “I haven’t given you guys a

gift yet. Hurry up and take it. It’s our good wish for you.”

Richard said to her, “Take it. It’s not so expensive. It’s just a good wish for you. It’s for Christmas.”

“Thanks. Richard, Juana.”

Edward said to them, “Go to sleep quickly. It’s quite late. You guys must be tired after the whole day.”

Just as she was about to walk up the stairs, Juana retracted her foot and almost forgot that Rose was pregnant.

“Rose, are you hungry? If you are, I will cook some supper for you.”

Rose waved her hand. She was extremely touched today and her throat was uncomfortable. “Juana, there’s no

need. I’ve already eaten. Go sleep with Richard. I’ll tell Edward when I’m hungry, okay?”

“Yes, I’ll take good care of her.” Edward met Juana’s worried gaze and said again, “Go to sleep. We’re going to sleep

too. It’s late.”

The Landor family couples went first, followed by Rose and Edward.

When they returned to the room, Rose felt a little guilty. This was how kind girls were. Whenever they caused a little

trouble for others, they would find the reason for themselves and regret it. “If I had known that they would wait for

us in advance, I would have come back earlier. I made them wait in the living room for so long.”

Sighing deeply, it was filled with guilt.

Sherri and Hackett might have left so late because they worried Richard and Juana were lonely.

Edward patiently comforted her and said gently, “Rose, don’t think that way. Richard and Juana are already very

happy that -you can celebrate Christmas here together with them. Actually, you can celebrate Christmas in the

Roberts family. In that

case, they still won’t have any objections.”

Rose touched the soft hair of Edward, who was squatting in front of her. She dug one hand into the hair and took it

out. She was very restless. “That won’t do. If I’m celebrating Christmas in the Roberts family and Sherri is

celebrating Christmas in the Landor family, how lonely would your parents be? After all, it’s clearly you who has

married me. I think it’s my duty to accompany them.”

“Thank you. I’ll get your clothes for you. Go take a shower first. I’ll adjust the temperature in the room first.”

“Okay.”

Early the next morning.

At Athana Airport, a plane rushed down from the sky and taxied for a while before stopping. The originally

deafening roar of it gradually disappeared.

A group of people alighted from the plane. The first one was a man wearing a black jacket with a gray sweater

underneath, his slender legs were wrapped in dark jeans. The warm winter sun shone on his body. He was noble

and handsome. He walked with a suitcase in his hand. Behind him, followed two bodyguards with four suitcases in

their hands.

Then, a woman in a long light blue coat came down. Her curly hair was casually draped over her shoulders. Beside

her was a man in a black coat. He held the woman’s waist and walked down.

She urged, Ava, come down quickly.”

A sweet voice came from the cabin. “I’m coming, right away.”

Immediately after, Ava walked down slowly in a long yellow coat. She was paired with a long white sweater, a pair

of leggings, and a pair of casual sneakers. She looked casual and youthful.

Joseph, who was waiting beside her, asked Ava, “Are you really not going to let Frank pick you up?”

Ava carried her bag on her shoulder and held Joseph’s wrist. “No need to inform him. Let’s go ourselves, It’s

troublesome to keep letting them pick us up. Besides, we can find their house. By the way, Joseph, are you staying

at the Roberts family tonight?”

Joseph said to her, “Yes, I won’t leave you guys. Let’s go and see Natalie first.”

“Alright, I miss my two little kids too. Joseph, let me tell you, her two little babies are really adorable. If you see

them, you

might change your mind about not wanting to get married.”

Ava seductively said it to Joseph. She really liked children. They were so cute that they could take away a person’s

bad mood.

The weather was good today, and the sun was shining high in the sky. Even their mood was good.

Joseph smiled and did not give Ava an affirmative answer. He only said simply, “Everything is up to fate. You should

worry about yourself. How much money have you saved?”

Joseph knew that Ava had always been saving money and had her own website. Ava did not hide it from Joseph and

even asked him to help give her some opinions.

“This is my savings. I can’t tell you yet. If you get married, I’ll give you everything.”

This girl kept tempting him to get married. Emma and Daniel, who followed behind them, only smiled and did not

say anything. They did not interfere with the children’s marriage. As long as the child liked it and was happy, as long

as their character was good, they could accept it.

Whether it was good or bad, only the child knew. How many parents could resist the child? If they did, their

relationship would be hurt, and they would regret it. It was the kind of hate that could not disappear.

At the Wilson’s residence.

Today was the day of the holiday.

According to Theo, there had to be a good start during Christmas. Today, they cannot curse, scold their children, or

do anything wrong. They had to be happy. They had to endure any dissatisfaction, quarrel, or bickering.

At this moment, the entire family was sitting in the living room and chatting enthusiastically. Jasper was playing with

his two sisters. He took the toy in his hand to the cradle gently pried open his sister’s hand and stuffed it in. Then,

he gently pressed her hand back so that she could hold it tightly.

A burst of laughter at the door interrupted their laughter. “Theo, Merry Christmas.”

This was said by Daniel, who was the first to enter.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the living room turned to look at the door. They saw the Turner

family pushing their suitcases and standing at the door, smiling.

Everyone subconsciously got up to welcome them while Trevon went to pick up the luggage. “Daniel, Emma, why

didn’t you let me pick you up?”

Emma stood upright, maintaining a dignified and elegant demeanor. She spoke very gently, always thinking for

others. “You are celebrating Christmas and we cannot let you pick us up. It’s too troublesome. We can find the way

to the Wilson family easily.”

Theo walked over with the help of Gage and the walking stick. “Oh, you guys, Why didn’t you ask him to pick you

up?”

Joseph and Ava greeted Theo and Trevon politely. At the same time, they also greeted Rachel, Caleb, and Lena.

Tucker was very uneasy. He had never seen the Turner family before and did not know how to greet them. Natalie

let go of Emma’s wrist and returned to the sofa. She patted Tucker’s shoulder. “Daniel, Emma, Joseph, this is Tucker

Foster.”

As soon as his name was mentioned, the Turner family people understood. However, out of courtesy, they still

nodded and greeted him. It was already very good for the Turner family not to mind. After all, Elena had caused the

death of the sister that the Turner family had been looking for. If it weren’t for Elena, the Turner family would have

had a chance of finding

her.

The Turner family people didn’t like Elena or Harry, but they wouldn’t implicate a child. They could only smile

politely.

Natalie pressed Tucker’s shoulder and sat down on the sofa. She did not ask him to greet them. She only said softly,

“They are my relatives. Don’t feel uncomfortable. It has nothing to do with you, understand?”

“Natalie, I understand. I’ll go upstairs to get something.”

Tucker walked upstairs alone. Everyone looked at the child’s back and felt sad. Emma and Daniel sighed.

Daniel also held Theo’s hand and sat down on the sofa. Joseph and Ava are watching the cradles. They reached out

and let the two Little Princesss pull.

Ava patted Jasper’s head. “Jasper, did you forget to greet me?” He actually forgot to greet Ava when he played with

his sisters.

“Hello, Joseph and Auntie Ava,” Jasper greeted them with a smile, trying to please them.

Joseph pinched his little face and picked him up. “Do you like your sisters?”

Jasper replied, “Yes, I like them.”

Looking at the cradles, Little Princesses, who were changing their postures and moving, were indeed extremely

cute. Joseph smiled

It was seen by Ava and she said, “They are so cute, right? They like little angels. Joseph, find a girlfriend.”

Joseph gently flicked her forehead. Ava was not angry. She pouted and smiled playfully. She wanted to change

Joseph’s mind about not getting married.

Natalie and Emma also stood beside the cradles. “Emma, I want to take care of Tucker in the future. I want to help

him if I

can.”

Emma could not bear to think about Tucker’s lonely back. She did not vent her dissatisfaction with his parents to

him. She could understand Natalie’s kindness. After all, this child was the Foster family’s child. “I can understand. I

support whatever you do. Go and let him down. Tell him not to think too much. We don’t have any other thoughts

about him. We’re just not familiar with him.”

“Thank you, Emma.”

Emma smiled and said, “Go ahead. We should be happy during Christmas.”

The fact that Natalie and Trevon could bring Tucker to the Wilson’s residence meant that this child’s character was

good. Natalie knocked on the door of Tucker’s room. A nasal voice came from inside. “Natalie.” The door was

opened immediately. Tucker was crying. Natalie smiled and patted Tucker’s head. She did not know how Tucker lived

alone. “Why are you crying? You are not a child. Why are you still crying? If Jasper sees you, he will laugh at you for

the rest of your life.”

CH

As she spoke, she walked into the room and patted the back of Tucker’s head. “Tucker, I’ve said it many times.

What happened to Elena has nothing to do with you. Emma asked me to bring you down. She doesn’t have any

other thoughts about you. She’s just not familiar with you. She told you not to think too much. They’re all very kind,

just like you.”

Tucker lowered his head and nodded. “Natalie, I understand.”

Every time he agreed readily and obediently, he would not change himself. “Don’t tell me that you are lying to me.

Don’t do this next time. You should be happy in the future.”

“Let’s go down and play. You can call them Emma, Daniel, Joseph, and Ava like me.”

“Okay.”

When they arrived downstairs, Tucker listened to Natalie’s arrangements and politely greeted everyone in the

Turner family. The people in the Turner family also responded one by one. The atmosphere was harmonious.

The laughter continued. Ava was a cheerful person. After Little Princesses fell asleep, the nanny and Trevon carried

them upstairs.

Ava sat beside Tucker and chatted with him. It obviously eased his discomfort. He also chatted with Ava warmly

about school matters. Ava chatted with him about interesting things about the university. Tucker looked forward to

university campus life.

The entire family encouraged Tucker, saying that with his scores, he could get into a good university.

Before they left, Joseph also gave Natalie a late gift. There were two golden anklets, which had a good wish.
