Chapter 254
Early in the morning, the sun was shining brightly, and the air was fragrant and sweet
Yet, Natalie felt uncomfortable all over Last night, the man said he would take things step by step. However, the first time took over an hour, and they did it twice last night. If there had been a third time….
Natalie thought. “Oh my god, isn’t this progression and accumulation? Could mathematics be used like this?
The ringing of the phone at the head of the bed interrupted her thoughts. She turned around and took the phone. The caller was Joseph. She answered the call “Joseph”
Joseph’s voice on the phone was still as gentle and refined as ever. “Natalie, come to my room after you wash up. Ava is crying. I’ve been coaxing her for a long time, but she’s still sad.”
Natalie frowned when she heard this. Ava had been very happy last night. She went to sleep after playing cards. Why was she crying now? Was she rejected by Frank?
The next moment, she immediately replied. “Tll be right there.”
After hanging up the phone, her mind was filled with questions. The answers she guessed were more inclined to Frank hurting Ava. She did not care about changing her clothes and was about to go out in her pajamas.
As soon as she got out of bed, she staggered. Her legs were a little weak. She continued to ut by the bed, rubbed the base of her legs, and stood up again.
She rushed to open the door but had to hold the doorknob to steady herself. After a while, she cursed Trevon in her heart.
“Where are you going? You’re in such a hurry.” The man’s voice came from the sofa
Natalie was in a bad mood now. She turned around and glared at him. She said angrily. “What do you think?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she opened the door and left, leaving Trevon guessing alone. He had not provoked her in the morning and had even deliberately let her sleep a little longer. He even woke up early to bring her son out. What was going on?
Natalie came to Joseph’s door. Just as she was about to knock, the door opened. She glanced at her brother, who was already in a suit and leather shoes. Joseph, what’s wrong with Ava?”
Joseph was a little helpless. He sighed and said, “Come in and talk.”
He glanced at the densely packed marks on Natalie’s neck and his gaze darkened. He wanted to say something but could not find an excuse. “Ava’s school is going up against another school in the group arena. The principal called and asked her to go back to the training today. She doesn’t want to and is crying now.”
This news was very sudden. She could understand why Ava was sad. The young lady had originally come with a heart full of passion. She still had much of her schedule to complete. She would naturally not be able to accept being suddenly told that she could not continue. However, she would be going against the principal’s will if she did not go.
She could ignore the principal’s wishes given the Turner family’s strength, but her uncle and the others had always kept a low profile and would not use their status to suppress others. Moreover, Ava was still a student. She would be talked about as being arrogant in school if she did not go. She could not reject the request
Natalie originally thought that it was because of Frank, but it seemed like she had misunderstood.
She sighed silently in her heart and thought about what to say. She slowly pushed open the door to Ava’s room and walked in. She closed the door behind her. Outside the door. Joseph rubbed his aching eyes and massaged his temples.
Joseph had almost compromised. He wanted to explain to the principal why Ava could not go. However, he temporarily put aside what was important when he thought about how Ava should learn to make choices and grow.
The current situation was a good opportunity to train. It was time for Ava to make her own choice and learn to think for herself.
Seeing Natalie enter, Ava became emotional again. She said while crying softly, “Natalie…. I-Im going back”
As soon as she said this, Natalie knew that Ava had already made up her mind even if she could not bear to leave. It seemed that her brother had worried for nothing. “I’ve thought about it.” Natalie sat on the bed, put her arm around Ava’s shoulders, and took a tissue to wipe her face.
Then, she said patiently. “It’s fine. Athana isn’t far from Sapphire City. You can ask the principal to let you leave after you’re done with the competition. I’ll also ask for leave to accompany you.”
Ava sniffed. “I know. I just can’t bear to. My plans have been disrupted…”
Ava’s words were interrupted by her soft sobbing Natalie took a tissue to wipe her tears again. She patted her shoulder with one hand. “Is it because of Frank? You can’t bear to part with him and feel that it’s a pity that your plan to woo him hasn’t been carried out?”
Ava nodded. She did not deny it.
Natalie understood and sighed again in her heart. She originally thought that Ava was only whimsically infatuated with Frank. She had thought that it was just a favorable impression and a desire to possess him. Now, it seemed that she really liked him. “Ava, if he really likes you, the distance between Sapphire City and Athana won’t stop him from looking for you. If he doesn’t like you, he won’t look for you even if you’re in Athana.”
Ava looked at Natalie with red and swollen eyes. “I know, but I’ve only been wooing him for a few days. Will he remember
me?”
Natalie continued, “If he likes you, just one look is enough. Some feelings develop over a long time, while others are love at first sight. As long as he likes you, your height, age, gender, or race will not be a problem. The distance between the two of you will not be a reason for him to reject you either. You have been wooing him for a few days. Since he has no reaction, you can pull back the intensity of your methods and maybe change the way you are doing things.”
Upon hearing this. Ava widened her red and swollen eyes. “Natalie, you mean you want me to tell him that I’m going back and will not be wooing him anymore?”
