Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

At night.

Sophia carried Olivia back to the Wilson's residence and bumped into Trevon, who had just returned from the company.

Trevon glanced at his daughter. Sophia walked with big strides. "Is the food in Olivia's cafeteria delicious?" "It's quite delicious, but this class is too boring." Sophia recalled the professor's class. It was no different from a lullaby. It was too easy to fall asleep.

Olivia followed behind and walked slowly. "That's because you don't like medicine. If you learn boxing today, you'll be as energetic as if you've been injected with adrenalin." Natalie heard their conversation. She analyzed, "This is the problem with personality. People with different personalities like different things. Speople like silence, speople like liveliness, speople like white, and speople like black. Olivia, the professor's teaching method is recognized by the entire school as good, but it becomes a lullaby for you. This is also the reason for personality. Because of different preferences..." "Stop, Mom. | just said one thing. You givea small essay." Natalie smiled. "I'm just telling you that you can't comment on something you don't like. It's very rude. You can't define something you don't like as bad." Sophia nodded hurriedly. She was afraid that her mother would continue to lecture her. She had only said it casually and did not say to others that the professor's lesson was like a lullaby.

She understood what her mother meant. Ever since they were young, their mother had taught them not to gossip about others. Even if they didn't like it, they had to hide it in their hearts. This was basic etiquette and respect because what they didn't like didn't mean that it was wrong. It was just that they didn't like it.

She understood the logic and had always remembered it.

During dinner.

Trevon helped his two daughters and his wife pick up sfood and said, "Sophia, Daddy will send you to school tomorrow." Upon hearing this, Sophia refused stubbornly. "There's no need. Didn't | cback by myself?" Natalie knew that he was worried about his daughter. This incident had cast a shadow on everyone's hearts to varying degrees. She advised, "Listen to your father. Your father will cback after sending you to school. He won't stay in the hotel next your school." Olivia nudged her sister, signaling her to agree. Sophia was not very willing. "Alright." The next morning, Sophia urged her father to get up.

Trevon used a private plane to send Sophia back to school. This time, he brought 30 bodyguards with him. When he returned, he only brought 15 back. 15 were left overseas.

A week later.

Jasper had almost recovered. He planned to follow Trevon to work at the company. He put on the suit that Ruby had sent over and was in a good mood.

During the period of injury, Jasper did not go to the workshop again. He was afraid that his injuries would be discovered, so he obediently grounded himself at the Wilson's residence.

When Natalie pushed the door open and entered, she saw her son adjusting his sleeves. She looked at the suit her son was wearing and asked, "This is made by Ruby." "Yes." She even gave him a tie.

After buttoning his cuffs, Jasper took out a tie from the drawer and put it on himself. Natalie was very gratified and did not say anything else. From her son's face, it could be seen that he was very happy. It was probably not because he was going to work, but because of the clothes he was wearing.

After getting dressed, a text message cin from Jasper's phone. He unlocked it and took a look at the message. The corners of his mouth curled up imperceptibly. Natalie smiled and left the room, carefully closing the door.

The message was from Ruby. [Wish you all the best. Go for it.] Jasper's fingers paused on the screen for a moment before replying. [Okay.] [Does the Clothes Fit?] Ruby asked.

Jasper replied very quickly. As if he didn't need to think, he sent the standard answer. [I like it very much.] On the other end, Ruby stared at these words of the reply and smiled. [Do you like gray and white?] After reading the message, Jasper understood. [Black.] Ruby received the message and replied. [Okay.] Jasper stood there holding his phone and waited for a long time. He did not send any more messages. After pondering for a while, he typed a line of words on the screen. [How much is the customization price this time?] Half a minute later, the chat interface showed that the other party was typing, but then it disappeared. After a few seconds, the other party was typing again. He guessed that she was thinking about the number. [Take your tto calculate. After you calculate it, send it to me. I'll transfer it to you.] A few seconds later, a string of numbers appeared on the screen. It was Ruby. [114,840 dollars.] He stared at the string of numbers on the screen for a long tbefore replying. [Okay.] He exited the chat interface and transferred the money to her bank account.

Receiving the message, Ruby sent "a happy collaboration" emoji and a "welcnext time" emoji. [Got it. Best of luck.] Jasper looked at the cute emoji on the screen and could not help but smile.

Like Natalie, Ruby likes to play games about math.

As for Ruby's numbers, he had learned them from Natalie. After staring at the numbers for a long time, Jasper still could not decipher the inherent meaning of these numbers. He could only store the information in the folder first.

After ending the chat, Ruby deleted all the chat messages as usual. She was very familiar with it.

On the weekend, at the Sunny Orphanage.

The orphanage was located in the suburbs and not in the city. The original size of the orphanage was very small, but after Tucker's investment and expansion, it was now the largest orphanage in Athana. The conditions and facilities were also the best.

At the school gate, William stood at the door and looked around, waiting for someone to come.

After a while, two cars drove towards the school gate from afar.

The guard opened the electric door and let the car drive in. William jogged after it.

The two cars parked in the parking space and the doors of the two cars opened. A group of people got out of the car. The drivers were Ruby and Stella.

Liam, Olivia and Nona got off from Ruby's car respectively. Alex took Stella's car.

Usually, all the children would cto the orphanage on weekends. Now that swere grounded, and swere in tuition classes or at work. There were only a few free people left. When Ruby's stuofficially opened, she would not be able to cas often as before.

When the trunk was opened, the children in the classroom saw a familiar figure from afar and rushed over.

William stood beside them and helped to move the things. She looked at the few of them and realized that there were a lot fewer people than before. "Jasper and the others didn't come." Ruby said gently, "He's at work. Cyril and Harper are revising. Jayden and the others are at the cram school." William nodded. "The children have been nagging for a long time. They said that they missed their sister and brothers. You guys always con time. They've been looking forward to it. They can ask800 times a day.

Ms. Harris, when will sisters come?" William repeated in the tone of the children.

The few of them laughed when they heard that. Stella squatted down and pinched the cheeks of the youngest little girl around her. She pouted like a child. "You missso much. Then why didn't | hear you call me? Is there something wrong with my ears?" After saying that, Stella deliberately dug her ears.

More than ten children shouted in unison, "Hello, Auntie Stella, Brother Alex, Teacher Ruby, Sister Nona, Teacher Olivia , Brother Liam." Alex squatted down and patted a boy's head. "Not bad. It's getting neater and neater. Helpcarry the small gifts to share with the other children." Children were very straightforward when it cto whether they liked someone or not. They were very straightforward when it cto the person they liked. They could run around happily after being praised by the person they liked. At this moment, the children who hoped to be praised by them tried their best to show off and wanted to help carry things.

The group of people looked at the children who were laughing and fighting for work. They were also affected and laughed. Nona helped to carry things. This time, she bought a lot of picture books.

Olivia did not let Liam carry anything. "You should rest. Just follow the tour. Don't waste your energy." Ruby smiled. She took a lot of baking materials and held them in her hand. Alex helped her take them when he saw that. "Give them to me. I'm strong." Stella had brought a lot of handicrafts, diamond paintings, and poke paintings for the children this time. "Ruby, give Alex. She feels uncomfortable all over when she has nothing to do." Ruby thanked him politely. William followed behind with a smile. These were kind children. "Are you going to make cakes for the children today?" Ruby replied softly, "Yes, the last t| came, a few children wanted to learn how to bake. | went to buy singredients with Olivia and the others. Today, | plan to let the children try it together and experience how the cupcakes are made." Olivia asked, "Ms. Harris, is the oven in the kitchen working now?" William replied, "It's not working. | haven't used it for the past two days. I'll get someone to move it over later." Alex was very proactive. She didn't know how to make cakes, but she could help move things. "I'll move them.

Ruby, which classroom should | move to?" Ruby did not refuse Alex's help and pointed to a classroom. Stella said that Alex to work in the orphanage.

Among these people, Alex was the most diligent to cto the orphanage. Sometimes, she would even sleep here and tell bedtstories to the children.

In the classroom.

Nona was teaching young children to draw, Olivia was teaching them about safety, and Ruby was teaching children to read ancient poems.

As soon as the few of them arrived, all the children bechappy. Compared to the children in kindergarten, the children here were much quieter and more sensible. This was because they had no parents since they were born.

Swere abandoned, and swas placed at the entrance of the orphanage because of the high treatment fees. Children in the orphanage were in common that they were all sensitive, overthinking, lonely, and lacked love...

Although Alex was not abandoned and had parents, it was not as good as being an orphanage to her. She wanted to help more children to be happy and away from their unhappy childhood. An unhappy childhood needed a lifetto heal. She hoped that these cute children would grow up happily. In her opinion, what she was doing now was very meaningful. At least, she liked it.

She wanted to persevere.

Stella and Alex sat at the back of a classroom and listened to the class like students. Ruby was teaching. "I plan to go to Mosuland on May Day. Are you going?" Alex thought for a moment. She didn't have much money left. She refused, "No." Last time, she had gone out to play with Stella. It's very expensive. If she had this money, she might as well save it to do charity.

"This time, we're going at no cost. | guarantee that it will be very cost-effective. Really, I'm not lying to you. Let's go." Stella put one hand on Alex's shoulder and advised like an sister.

Alex continued to refuse because she could get three times her salary if she worked on May Day. "I can't go because | have to work on May Day. Next time, callif there's a cheap place next time." Seeing that Alex was determined, Stella did not force her. Tourism was a happy thing. "Alright, | can only go by myself on May Day." Alex changed the topic and asked, "Don't you really intend to accept that salesperson from your company? He has been chasing after you for many years and has already gone from salesperson to manager. This persistence is rare." Stella glanced at her and replied in a low voice. She was also rather helpless. Back then, her sister-in-law had asked her to take care of three salespeople. In the end, one of the salespeople had fallen in love with her. She had rejected him countless times and had also made it clear that she did not want to get married or date. In the end, that salesperson, who was five years younger than her, stayed in the Yamin Group and did not leave. He silently protected her and no longer confessed. He also did not get married, making her feel guilty.

"I'm already afraid of him. Now, whenever | see him, I'll instinctively dodge. The first word that comes out of my mind is also run. This is strange. I'm such an unambitious person. What do you think he sees in me? | seriously suspect that his eyesight is not good." Rose had four children and there were the two heirs in her family. She really wanted to die. It was better to be an unambitious person so that she could live for two more years.

Alex smiled. She pitied that salesman. He just waited. Stella really had no intention of getting married. "You have to ask him. | can't give you an answer." Liam stood at the back and leaned lazily. He heard everything. It turned out that Stella was an unambitious person.

Ruby was still in class on stage. The children below the stage were very happy and actively raised their hands.

The few of them stayed in the orphanage for the whole day. Olivia was in charge of taking photos. Ruby and Nona were making cakes. Stella and Alex were helping to make biscuits. The children were wearing bib and working with the adults. Their little hands were covered in flour, and their faces were stained with flour. They were very cute. They kept asking what it was for, what that was for, and what shape they would make later.

It was as if they had thousands of questions to ask.

Liam could not help but record such a beautiful scene. He took out his phone and took photos of the few of them before sending the photos to the group.

Olivia did not send it to the group chat. She had learned her photography skills from Rose. She was very good at finding angles and taking photos of everyone alone. There were also photos of them together. Then, she would mix the colors and save them.
