Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 431

At the same time, compared to the Roberts family’s calmness, the Landor family had exploded.

When they heard that Edward was coming back tonight, Sherri and her family stayed in the Landor

family’s residence. Their main focus was to wait to hear the gossip

When Edward walked in and saw the familiar lineup, he felt a headache coming However, he still

braced himself and carried lus luggage in

The people in the living room had not changed much. Only his niece was misting from the lineup. She

was most likely asleep at this time. Otherwise, there would still be the same number of people as

before

Edward was not in a hurry to go upstairs. He placed his suitcase at the top of the stairs. He proceeded

to unbutton his cuffs and rolled up his sleeves, revealing his tanned skin. Under the gaze of Sherri,

Hackett, and the Landor family, he sat down in the armchair.

People who were in the know knew he was in a relationship. Those who did not would have thought he

had committed a

crime.

He spread his feet and rested his arms on his knees. He pushed his spectacles and mentally prepared

himself. “You didn’t go to bed because you wanted to wait for me to come back! Also, why are you

home?”

The last sentence was directed at Sherri



Sherri spoke very sincerely. She leaned against Hackett’s body, looking very intimate with harn. “I just

wanted to learn about your progress with Rose”

He knew that this was the reason. When he met Hackett’s complicated gaze, Edward did not

understand for a moment

Hackett pursed his lips and didn’t say anything. Frank actually didn’t beat Edward up. It was fine if he

dado beat hom up, but how could be even let Edward and Rose proceed with their relationship

unimpeded? What was he thinking?

Frank must be crazy after he was in a relationship

Juana clasped her hands nervously and excitedly. “Edward, how did it go? Was De Roberta satisfied

with your End De Roberts despise you for being much older?”

Sherri’s eyes widened. She never expected her mother to say aloud that her precious son was old

Hackett, who was eating oranges, choked at his mother–in–law’s words. He tried to rescue has image

Edward fell silent. Back then, he had hit Hackett a little too lightly and let him go too easily

“Speaking of old age, Frank is the one who is dating a far younger woman At the very least, Kose is

already 20. A is on 22. However, Frank is faster than his brother–in–law in terms of speed Hackett

thought inwardly

Hackett was dissatisfied with the fact that Frank did not beat Edward up

Edward pinched the space between his eyebrows. He did not know what to say about this meaningless

univerogation. When be rart the expectant gazes of the entire family, he replied in exasperation, Mom,

goodnight to Dr. Roberts before you go to bed. Sweet talk more when you are with her. Don’t keep

some misunderstanding about what say I have?”

Edward couldn’t respond to this at all. Before he went upstairs, he sympathized with Hackett for a few

seconds.

The living room at the Wilson’s residence was filled with harmony and laughter. For Theo, he had finally

experienced the joy of having his family with him.

When Natalie’s children were born, he would have no regrets even if he died right then. He smiled

lovingly and placed his hands on his walking stick. His eyes were filled with love as he sat opposite

Natalie and said to her, “Natalie, you didn’t come to the Wilson’s residence when you all went out to

play on Children’s Day. I have prepared gifts and they didn’t get sent out.” Trevon placed his hands on

the back of the sofa. He crossed his legs and did not speak.

It was impossible for his grandfather to prepare a gift for him.

He lazily played with his wife’s curly hair. Her hair was smooth as silk and soft to the touch. Playing with

it made a part of his heart feel fuzzy.

He automatically ignored Theo’s disdainful gaze.

With a tacit understanding between them, Natalie did not stop the man from playing with her hair.

Fortunately, it was just playing with her hair. It was nothing. She smiled and replied, “Grandpa, do I

have a present too?”

There was a hint of playfulness in her tone.

Theo’s eyes were filled with joy. His wrinkles were squeezed together, and his eyes were amiable. He

really doted on Natalie as if she was his biological granddaughter. “Of course. You’ll always be a child

in Grandpa’s eyes, no matter how old you are.”



“Gage, bring the presents here.”

Natalie’s heart warmed when she heard that. It was as if her grandfather was right before her. Back

then, her grandfather had also said this to her. “Natalie, no matter libw old you are, you will always be a

child to your grandfather.”

Her heart felt bitter and sweet at the same time, and her lips curled into a blissful smile.

At this moment, Rachel stood up and signaled Gage not to take it. “I’ll go.”

“Yes, Ma’am.”

While talking, Rachel had already gotten up and gone upstairs. Jasper naturally climbed onto Caleb’s

lap. After his legs recovered, Caleb would always carry Jasper on his lap from time to time.

Natalie liked this family atmosphere very much. It was warm and distant. Everyone’s faces were filled

with smiles.

Home was not a house or a bed. Instead, it was filled with people who were bound to you. People who

were waiting for you to come home. Home was formed by love, laughter, and warmth.

This was why, after her grandfather left, she would rather rent a house than buy one. It would not feel

like home even if she bought one. Instead, it would look bleak and sad.

After a while, Rachel came downstairs with four boxes in her hand. She bent down and placed the

boxes on the table, opening them one by one.

In an instant, four presents appeared in front of her. The larger boxes were all toys. They were

definitely Jasper’s. Then, what about the two small ones?

Were both of them hers?



For Jasper, there was a variety of Rubik’s Cubes. There were triangles, squares, and a round set. This

gift was from Rachel and Caleb.

There was no need to give the little guy any jewelry or cards. Instead, they chose something he would

like. Otherwise, the gifts would be tacky and children would not want to use them. It was better to give

him something practical.

The other was a four–wheel–drive toy remote–controlled car that Theo had given him. There was no

doubt that it was also for Jasper.

Beside him was a black motorcycle model, and on the right was a silver–white motorcycle model.

Rachel was also stunned when she opened them. She didn’t expect to buy the same present.

When Jasper saw the beautiful toys in the boxes, he slid down from Caleb’s knees and went to get

them. Theo did not feel awkward when he saw the same gifts. Instead, he laughed out loud. “Looks like

the entire family knows what our girl likes. That’s a good thing.”

Rachel sat down, took the Rubik’s Cubes out of the box, and handed it to her grandson. She explained

calmly, “I didn’t know that Theo had already bought you a model. You look good on the motorcycle, so I

bought you one.”

Did Rachel mean that she appeared very cool when she rode a motorcycle? Was she praising her?

“Thank you, Rachel. Thank you, Grandpa. Thank you, Caleb.”

Natalie thanked them one by one. The honest Caleb did not intend to take credit. He smiled and said,

“This was not iny idea. Your mother saw that you could not ride a motorcycle after you got pregnant

and was afraid that you would be thinking about it all the time. She had been looking at this before she

went to bed at night. At most, I looked at it with her for a while.” Rachel was embarrassed to be

exposed. She glared at her husband.

Caleb didn’t think much of it either. His wife was cold on the surface, but her heart was warm. She

didn’t say much but did a lot of things, and she didn’t want others to know.

Trevon took the two models and looked at them. Ilis smile was ambiguous. The materials were both

top–notch. “Take both of them to the Phoenix Manor and put them in the display cabinet.”

Theo snorted. “They’re not for you. Do you think they are for your collection?”

“I don’t intend to take these for myself. At most, I’ll just put it in the display cabinet myself and

occasionally take a look at them.”

He sounded pitiful, as though he had no status at all in the family.

Seeing that Jasper was having fun with the toys, Natalie couldn’t help but remind him, “Jasper, what

should you say to great–grandfather and grandparents when you receive a gift?”

Jasper raised his head and rubbed his chin as if he was deep in thought. “Thank you.”

“That took you quite long. You have to think for a minute before saying thank you, Trevon said with a

smile.

Jasper’s vocabulary was limited, so he could not argue back. He silently accepted the criticism and

lowered his head to play with his new pet toys. However, Theo could not tolerate his great–grandson

being mocked. “Are you slow too? Have you gone back to being a child? Who’s the one who has to

court his wife?”

Trevon fell silent. He should not have spoken.

Natalie decided to privately advise Trevon not to be critical of his grandfather’s precious great–

grandson before him in the future, even if it was just a criticism.

At night, the family of three stayed at the Wilson’s residence.

Jasper was carried to his room by Rachel. Natalie had not returned to the Wilson’s residence for a few

days. She thought that she should give Theo a checkup. At this moment, Trevon was taking a device to

measure Theo’s blood pressure.

It was good to have a doctor for a granddaughter–in–law at home. Theo was happy and energetic and

asked, “Natalie, is my health good? I haven’t been eating meat much recently. I’m very obedient and

followed the doctor’s instructions.”

His blood pressure was indeed normal. Natalie put away the device and handed it to Trevon beside

her. He acted like a little assistant for Natalie. “Grandpa, not bad. Keep it up.”

Trevon received a smug gaze from Theo and parted his thin lips. “Grandpa, if you want to see your

great–granddaughters, you have to abide by her requirements. Right, honey?”

Although Trevon was right, his tone was a little strange.

There was a smugness in his voice.

As expected, Theo still gave his grandson a disdainful look and instructed sternly, “Why are you

standing there? Why aren’t you bringing Natalie back to sleep? Don’t you know that she is pregnant

with two children in her stomach?”



Upon hearing this, Trevon smiled. This was not the first time he was criticized by his grandfather

tonight. He was sure Theo could find fault with him even if he had done everything right. “Alright, rest

early. Don’t worry. I can take good care of my

wife.”

Watching the two of them leave, Theo’s originally tense expression instantly changed to a grin as he

muttered to himself. “What a rascal. He’s lucky.”

In the room, Natalie was about to take a shower when Trevon pulled her back. She stopped in her

tracks strangely and asked with a puzzled gaze, “What’s wrong?”

“I haven’t given you your Children’s Day present yet. Don’t you want to take a look?”

He really treated her like a child and followed what his family had done. She asked him, “Then, what

did you prepare for me?”

Trevon took her by the waist and led her to the bed. He pressed her shoulders down and let her sit on

the bed. He turned around to get the gift. It was a huge black box made of frosted material.

Just by looking at its appearance, it looked very grand. He slowly opened the box. For a moment,

Natalie could not find a word to describe what had happened tonight.

That was because Trevon’s gift was also a black motorcycle. However, this motorcycle looked relatively

familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before. After thinking for a few seconds, she finally thought of

it. She looked at the smiling man in front of her in disbelief. “It’s made according to my vehicle?”

He knelt down in front of her, his eyes filled with affection. “Yes. Do you like it?”

She touched his handsome and cold face, her heart filled with happiness. “I like it. I got three models in

one night. Do I have enough to hold a motorcycle model exhibition now?”



“If you like it, I’ll give you a different model every day. When the time comes, I’ll buy you a cabinet to

store these models…”

Her face, which was originally very affectionate, was directly changed into another emotion by his

words. She really couldn’t say that she liked anything. Once she said that she liked something, he

would fill a cabinet with it for her. She liked to ride motorcycles, not collect them.

She sighed in her heart. “Trevon, our family has a lot of businesses. There’s no need to enter this

industry. Let’s give others a way out too.”

Trevon stood up and smiled. He helped her get her pajamas and underwear. “You shower first. Do you
