Chapter 452
A long black table was placed by the greenhouse. It was big enough for 20 people to sit at.
There was a great variety of drinks, fruits, and snacks on the table. They were all prepared by Frank as well as Mr. and Mrs. Roberts last night.
At this moment, the Roberts family’s bodyguards were busy preparing for the gathering that night. They went back and forth, either moving stools or shooting balloons. It was gradually getting lively.
The branches were hung with night lights, and there was a swing by the greenhouse. Balloons were piled up all over the ground in different kinds of shapes, including the heart ones. However, it was hard work for these tough guys to make those lovely balloons.
During the day, Frank went to work at the company. Ava and Rose stayed at home to prepare for the gathering and swore that they would do a great job.
At this moment, the two of them divided the work and worked together to instruct the bodyguards on how to do the setup. Ava held a milkshake in her hand as she sat on the swing and watched leisurely.
She took out her phone and took a photo of the bodyguards and the beautiful scenery, which had been well set. She sent the photo to Frank and asked him if it looked good.
Frank was in a meeting at the company. When he felt his phone in his pocket buzz, he raised his hand and gestured for his employees to wait. When he saw that it was a message from the young lady, he said, “Not bad. Wait a moment.”
Ava read his reply and felt that she might have disturbed Frank. “Okay. Go ahead with your work. I can handle the preparations. Bye. Love you.”
Frank replied, “Okay.”
“Let’s proceed.
Night quietly fell. The lights on the tree branches began to flicker like stars. The dark sky was also filled with stars. Looking up, one could see a sea of stars.
At night, the Roberts villa was brightly lit as if it were daytime. Cars drove in one after another at the entrance.
The first to enter was Trevon and Natalie’s car. The black Maybach stopped in the parking lot on the side of the Roberts villa. The couple opened the car door and got out together.
Trevon walked around the back of the car and quickly walked to Natalie to support her. He reminded her carefully. “Take it easy.”
“I’m fine. I can walk on my own. I’m only four months pregnant and can handle our twins. Go to Frank. I’ll go to Ava and the girls.”
“Okay. I’ll walk you to them.” Trevon insisted again, afraid that something would happen to her.
Natalie looked around and could not help but sigh. “Rose’s place is like paradise. There are birds singing and flowers. How big is this villa? It must have taken us several minutes to drive in, right?”
As soon as Natalie entered the villa, she felt that it was comparable to her uncle’s manor, but it had a different style. The Roberts villa had a modern charm and ancient nostalgia. She could not tell exactly what style it was.
Trevon supported her carefully. “If you like it, we can build one ourselves. Their villa is an illegal construction. Its size was not approved”
Natalie burst into laughter. “Are you trying to say that you’re a well–behaved citizen?”
The Wilson’s residence was not small either. It was about the same size as the Roberts villa.
Trevon asked Am I not well–behaved in any way?”
Natalie chose not to answer since what he asked had a different meaning. “Let’s go in.”
In the living room, Rose and Ava were hiding in the kitchen to watch the chefs make delicacies and pastries. As usual, Rose took photos with her phone. The clicking sounds were continuous.
Natalie said to the two people with their backs facing her, “What are you guys looking at? Are you stealing food?”
Upon hearing this, the two of them turned around with smiles on their faces. “Natalie, come over now. What’s up with Sherri and Edward? Why aren’t they here yet?”
They glanced at the door and saw that there was still no sign of Sherri.
Natalie teased, “Do you think Sherri or Edward is dawdling?”
Rose fiddled with her hair shyly, which was rare. “Well, he will send me a message when he gets here. I’m not waiting for him
Actually, everyone knew that Rose was waiting for Edward. However, while waiting, she had to stay busy. For example, she got busy taking photos while she kept staring at the door.
“Sis, this is delicious. It has sugar crisps in it. It’s crispy and fragrant. Try it
Ava picked up an oval–shaped sugar pastry and handed it to Natalie. As a member of the Roberts family, she had to act like a proper host. Natalie smiled when she saw this, but Ava did not notice it.
Actually, although Ava and Frank hadn’t got married yet, they now acted like a real couple. “When are you and Frank getting married?”
Ava held her arm. “I’ll marry him when I’m stronger. Do you think that’s a good idea?”
Natalie took a bite of the pastry. It was indeed quite delicious. She narrowed her eyes at his sister and asked, “Stronger? What do you mean? Are you trying to be a strong woman?”
“I admire Frank’s mom very much. Since the Roberts fatnily’s company is so big, 1 figure that Frank will have a tough time handling the business alone if I stay at home and be a housewife. I want to help out.”
Natalie thought, “Frank should be very touched to know that. My sister, who does not do any chores, plans to work hard just to reduce Frank’s burden.”
It could only be said that love could change people and also make them mature.
“So you’re doing it secretly and aren’t going to tell Frank?”
“That’s right. Please don’t tell your husband about it. I’m still learning. Actually, I think it’s quite fun to go to work. I can gain a lot of things every day.
Recently, Ava had seen a lot of things that she had not seen before. When she was in Sapphire City, she knew that her father and brother had a hard time working, but this hardship was different from the hardship she had learned. Previously, she merely learned about it in the dictionary. Now, she could feel the inner meaning of hardship.
In short, she had different thinking since she had experienced different things.
Rose went out again, obviously to wait for Edward.
