Chapter 419
Frank quickly walked over, picked up Ava, and walked straight to the bed. He gently placed Ava on the bed.
Then, he turned around and walked toward the bathroom.
Looking at Frank’s back as he went to the bathroom, Ava suddenly had the illusion they were already married, sleeping in the same bed, eating and living together each day. The only difference was that this was a hotel.
It was not a wedding house.
She liked this kind of happiness very much, but Ava knew that this happiness was short-lived or would have the parting that should happen. But this time, Frank still did not say when they would part.
She couldn’t bear to ask.
She was in a daze as she watched.
Soon, Frank came over with a hairdryer from the bathroom. When he saw the person sitting on the bed staring at him in a daze, he plugged in the power and rubbed her wet hair. With a pampering tone, he asked, “What are you thinking about?” Ava reacted and didn’t want Frank to see that she couldn’t bear to part with him, so she smiled happily and said, “I was just wondering where to go on Children’s Day.”
Frank said indulgently, “Up to you.”
The meaning of these simple words was that it was completely up to Ava.
After knowing what she was thinking, Frank turned on the switch and patiently helped her blow dry her hair. However, Ava stopped talking and fell silent. Frank thought Ava was tired from playing.
Ten minutes later, Frank stood at the side. He inserted a hand into her hair to feel if it had dried. After checking, he turned around and put the hairdryer back.

When he came out of the bathroom again, he saw Ava sitting motionless with her hands propping on the edge of the bed, staring at him quietly. He strode forward. “Are you tired?”
Ava shook her head and smiled charmingly. “No.”
“Unhappy?”
At night, they were quite happy at the amusement park. Frank thought about why Ava was suddenly unhappy.
He picked up Ava and placed her on his lap. He held her waist with one hand and tidied her curly hair with the other. Then he looked at the little girl at eye level with him. “Are you afraid that I’ll go back tomorrow?”
Similarly, Ava wrapped one hand around Frank’s neck and rubbed his thick, black hair with the other. Because he had just taken a shower, his hair was still wet. Frank’s hair was not completely dried. “Are you going back tomorrow?”
Frank didn’t answer whether he was going back tomorrow or not. He just handed the choice to Ava. “Set a time.”
Then, he looked at Ava without blinking, waiting for her answer.
As for the return date of Frank, it was indeed not set. He did not tell Grace when he would go back. The only thing out of control when he was not in Athana was that Rose was in a relationship.
He didn’t say that he forbade Rose to date. He only wanted to let her spend more time to get to know Edward more and let Edward cherish his sister more. Unexpectedly, his plan failed. Rose was way too impulsive.
Ava wrapped her arms around his neck and looked around with her eyes. She looked like she was indeed deep in thought. Frank was not in a hurry. He patiently waited for an answer and pursed his lips without saying anything.
Gradually, Ava’s analysis came through. Her voice was sweet and soft, and it was as if every word she said tickled Frank’s heart. “Well, why don’t you stay for another five days? No. It will be very tiring for your mom. How about three days?”
Ava wanted Frank to stay for another five days, but she was afraid it would be too much, and Frank’s mother, who had always been in Sapphire City, would not like it.
“No mother-in-law would like her son not working for his future daughter-in-law, right?” Ava thought to herself.
Hearing Ava change her words, Frank chuckled and immediately made a decision. “Five days it is.”
After saying this, he could see the smile on Ava’s face. She was happy. Then, Frank changed the topic. “You like Grace?”
Ava first nodded. Then, she shifted her butt and adjusted her sitting posture. “Yes, I do. I think she is cool. I like her very
much. Your father is also cute.”
Frank thought, “Perhaps no one in Athana would think William is cute other than Rose. But there are indeed lots of people
who think Grace is cool. She is valiant sometimes, after all.
Anyway, it was fine as long as Ava liked her. She was the first person to say that she liked Grace’s personality, Frank pinched. her face. “Don’t you feel oppressed when Grace doesn’t speak?”
Ava’s eyes were crystal clear. There was no miscellaneous at all. She was discussing her future mother-in-law. “No, how you, Rose, and Grace get along is fun. It’s especially cool. I hope I can get along with them in the future.”
“Of course, you’ll get along well with them,” Frank said with confidence.
“Hey, I think I’m getting a little excited and looking forward to it.”
Frank said patiently, “You’re my girlfriend. I like you, and I believe my family will like you, too.”
With this analysis, Ava smiled happily. “That’s great.”
At night, Frank was ready to be an abstinent man. Ava was soft and delicate. It would leave red marks on her body if he exerted a little force. Her body wouldn’t be able to stand it. “Sleep. I won’t touch you at night.”
Ava, who was already a mature woman, naturally knew what he meant by touch. She obediently replied, “Okay”
They fell asleep in each other’s arms, but Ava was quite naughty. She was happy that Frank said he would stay another five. days longer, so she was excited. She hugged Frank’s neck under the blanket and kissed him repeatedly, which was very playful.
She was playing and expressing her happiness. Little did she know that this was a torture for Frank. Frank was turned on a few minutes later, so he pretended to threaten, “Baby Ava, stop fooling around. Do you still want to be a fire extinguisher at night?”
As expected, Ava became quiet. She hid in his arms and laughed in a low voice. Frank turned off the wall lamp and shook his head helplessly. “Why are you still laughing? Hurry up and sleep.”
“Okay, Frank. Good night.”
“Yeah, good night.”
At that time, lots of people in Athana hadn’t slept yet.
There were lots of messages in the group chat Fairy Fortress. The one who started was Sherri. [It’s almost Children’s Day. Natalie, how are you going to celebrate it for Jasper?]
Natalie replied, [My family wants to hold a banquet, but I stopped them. I plan to take my son to the marine park.]
Sherri said, [Only Old Trevon can think of such a thing. The banquet is only useful for adults, but it’s not interesting at all for Jasper. Even an amusement park is better than that.]
It couldn’t be a coincidence that they could be best friends. Sometimes, their thoughts were the same.
At this moment, Natalie was thinking the same thing. If the Wilson family held a Children’s Day banquet to celebrate Jasper’s happiness, the meaning of this banquet would probably change. In the end, it would only become a business meeting.
A child should have the happiness of a child and not be mixed with impurities. The purest childhood was the best.
Rose also sent a message in the group chat. [I’m participating too. I’m still a child.]
Natalie replied, [You are indeed a big child.]
Sherri retorted, [Girl, you’re older than me, okay? Do you need me to remind you that you’re already 26?]
Rose replied, [That’s too much. It’s age discrimination. I’m a child because I’m not married. Aren’t unmarried girls counted as children?]
Sherri said, [Alright, you’re my future sister-in-law. What you say is right.]
Natalie grinned and sent a surrendering emoji.
In an instant, the style of the conversation in the group changed. The three of them realized they were relatives of each other.
At last, they decided to take the two children to the marine park on Children’s Day. They had to work during the day. After exiting the chat interface, Rose wondered why Edward hadn’t sent her a message today. Was he busy?
Rose sat on the bed and propped her head up as she thought. After a while, Edward’s message came like they were connected. [What are you doing?]
Rose lay on the bed excitedly, her legs swinging non-stop. She held her phone with both hands and replied, [I was talking to Sherri and Natalie about how to celebrate Children’s Day for the two kids.]
Edward asked, [How are you going to celebrate it?]
Rose replied with a question mark.
Edward continued to say, [How do you want to celebrate Children’s Day? Isn’t it Friday? Do you want to celebrate it here or abroad?]
After reading this message, Rose was stunned. Did Edward treat her as a child? Although she had indeed joked in the group chat just now that she was a child, wasn’t it blissful to be treated as a child by her boyfriend so blatantly?
Rose didn’t say that she wasn’t a child, nor did she say that she wouldn’t go. [If I want to go on a trip, will you have time? Saturday and Sunday. Two days off!]
Edward replied, [Yes, I’m free if you’re free.]
It was just that Kyle would have to deal with the aftermath.
Rose grinned and replied, [Alright then, I’ll treat you to a trip. Why don’t we go to Artroyland? There are still many projects that we haven’t played last time. I want to feed the pigeons.]
Edward replied, [Sure, will your family agree?]
