Chapter 447
It was already late at night. Everyone had already said their goodbyes and entered their rooms reluctantly.
Only Rose’s room in the Roberts villa was still very lively. After watching one episode, the two girls continued with another episode. They had clearly agreed to sleep after this episode ended, but in the end, they did not abide by the rules set a second ago.
They repeated the rules and said that they would sleep after watching this episode and continue tomorrow. However, the binge went on.
The more they watched the show, the less they felt like sleeping.
When they watched a funny scene, Rose laughed so hard that she flipped over the iPad. “Haha, I’m laughing my ass off. How could this man be so funny? He can totally achieve anything hilarious!”
“It’s so funny. Hahaha, I’m laughing so hard that I’m having tears in my eyes. Is she acting or being herself? Hahaha.”
Ava sat on the bed with her legs crossed and Rose’s newly bought funny pillow in her arms. She held the iPad up and continued to watch the show. “Be quiet. Mrs. Roberts and the others are asleep. Shh.
She placed her index finger on her lips and gestured for Rose to keep quiet.
Rose still had a laugh on her face. She waved her hand and said, “It’s fine. Our house is especially soundproof. Otherwise, how could I not be disturbed when you and Frank are doing it at night?”
Ava was speechless as she thought, “What? I don’t moan or groan when I do it with Frank at night.
“But I can’t say that to Rose. It will be too embarrassing.”
Seeing that Ava’s cheeks were red, Rose stopped teasing her. “I was joking. I was just joking. I’m not a peeping tom. Why would I have such a fetish?”
Upon hearing this, Ava heaved a sigh of relief and continued watching the show.
They watched for about another hour.
It was not until 11:30 p.m. that the two of them used their hands to support their eyelids. They kept yawning before they stopped watching the show. Ava slowly got out of bed and patted her face. She kept yawning. “Good night. See you
tomorrow.”
“This show is wonderful, isn’t it? I’ll get the VIP service tomorrow. We’ll continue tomorrow night. Ava, you should stay at our house until the end of the summer vacation before going back,” Rose suggested.
Ava kept yawning and nodded blankly. “Okay. I’m going to sleep now. I still have to wake up early tomorrow to send my mom and the others off. Good night.”
“Good night.”
When Frank was free, he watched the company’s surveillance video while waiting for the young girl. The moment Ava came out of the ladies‘ room, her mood obviously changed. Frank slid his fingers across the screen. When he watched the next video, his eyes were very gloomy.
It was a video of Grace arranging for her subordinates to interrogate the two employees. She instructed them one by one. Every word that she said made Frank blame himself for not protecting Ava well.
Whether it was in the afternoon or at night, Ava did not show any unhappiness. Even when he asked her, she hid her thoughts and pretended that nothing had happened. This was what he blamed himself for the most.
What Frank wanted was for Ava to be by his side as carefree as before. She could say whatever she wanted and did not have to hide her emotions for him.
The door was pushed open. Ava rubbed her eyes and walked in. Frank immediately pressed the lock screen, put away his phone, stood up, and walked toward his girl.
Seeing that she was extremely sleepy, he picked up Ava and asked gently, “Are you tired?”
“Yeah. My eyes are a little tired. Let’s go to sleep, Frank.”
Judging from the young lady’s attitude, she still did not intend to tell him about the discussion in the company. Since she did not intend to tell him, Frank did not intend to ask anymore. He had to protect her well in the future.
Little did he know that Ava had alreatly made up her mind to become stronger. She wanted to share every bit of Frank’s burden.
She could not let Frank take on such a huge family business alone. It would be very tiring.
At least she couldn’t bear to have him do all the work alone,
As soon as the two lay down on the beil, Ava sat up in the next second. Frank’s hand, which had just grabbed the corner of

the blanket, froze in the air. He did not know what the young girl was up to and asked curiously. “What’s wrong, Baby Ava
Althought Ava was very sleepy, she wanted to give Frank the gift she had bought. She patted her face with both hands and tried to stay awaker. Frank, help me bring the black gift box from my suitcase:
Frank wondered, “A gift box? Is she going to give me a gift!
After Frank put down the blanket hurriedly, he turned around to get the gift box. The black gift box was neither big nor small, and he could grasp it with one hand. He was very curious about what the gift was. “What is it? Is it for me?”
Ava took the gif box and nodded. “Yes, I bought it for you. You gave me a bracelet, so I want to give you a gift. It’s proper courtesy Actually, that’s not the point. I just want to give you something”
The box opened, and a pale blue watch with a blue dial came into view. The band was blue, like an endless ocean, full of mystery and depth.
It was also as dazzling as the starry sky at night. Every diamond in the dial was flickering, like the stars in the sky blinking Blue was a cold color, but it gave people a cool, comfortable, and calm feeling. Frank liked this male watch very much. Frank lifted the blanket again and sat down beside Ava. The young girl held his wrist and took out the watch to put it on for him. She lowered her head carefully and looked at it after putting it on. Half a minute later, a satisfied smile finally appeared on her face.
Frank rubbed the top of her head with his other hand. “It’s very nice. I like it very much. Thank you, Baby Ava.”
Those who knew watches could tell the price of this watch at a glance. This watch cost at least one million dollars, which was half the price of the watches he had worn previously, but no watch was more suitable than this one.
With his understanding of the young lady, it was impossible for her to use her parents‘ money to buy such an expensive gift for him. He asked calmly, “Have you been taking part–time jobs to buy this?”
