Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon) novel Chapter 638

At that moment. Leia was in the kitchen with her family, busy making bread for tomorrow's breakfast. Her phone, tucked inside her pocket, emitted a ding sound, but her hands were covered in flour. Her mother knew Leia's job was always busy and was afraid she would delay her work, so she reminded her, "Leia, just leave it to me and your dad. Quickly check your phone, maybe there's some work-related message. Don't delay." Her father added, "That's right. It only takes a little while for your mom and me to make the bread. Wash your hands quickly and go take a look."

After washing her hands, Leia grabbed a tissue to dry them and walked towards the outside. She took out her phone from her pocket and glanced at it. There were many messages, but one of them was from an unknown number, which read, [Hello.]

She was hesitating if she should reply. After some thought, she chose to leave the message alone and not reply to the message. If the other end had something important, they would message her without needing her to ask. However, after a while, the other party didn't send any messages further. Leia found it a bit strange and clicked on the profile picture, but it showed nothing useful.

At Turner Manor, Frank and Trevon as well as their family, had taken their children for a bath. All the family members had returned to their rooms. It was getting late, and it was already 11 o'clock.

Chris lay on the bed, hands crossed behind his head, deep in thought. After a moment, he picked up his phone, gazing at the newly added contact. The chat interface was open, and he began organizing his thoughts before sending a message in his mind. He thought, 'How should I start up the conversation?' He typed, deleted, typed again, deleted again, and several times over. Finally, in the chat interface, he typed, [I am Chris.]

On the other end of the message, Leia never expected that the person adding her would be Chris. She thought it might be a client and replied politely, [Hello.] Seeing the word in response, Chris began to struggle again. After a while, he sent the message finally, [I'm Christina's brother.]

Leia read this introduction and could not help but find it amusing. Somehow, she found this attractive doctor a bit cute, momentarily forgetting about Chris's family background, and replied, [I see.] 'Another two words,' thought Chris and felt if the conversation continued this way, it would be a dead end. After some thought, he asked, [When are you returning to Athana?]

Leia replied, [Scheduled for the sixth of this month, the company resumes work on the eighth.]

Chris suggested, [Let's go for a run when we're back to Athana.]

Leia agreed and said, [Sure.]

Chris replied, [Good night.]

Leia was a bit puzzled about Chris's intention to text her. She wondered, 'Was it to invite her for a morning run? If that's the case, aren't they naturally meet when they are back in Athana? There's no need for an invitation.' Out of politeness, she replied, [Good night.]

Chris looked at the "good night" and felt it was indeed quite late. He lifted the blanket and lay down, but no matter how hard he tried, sleep eluded him. He tossed and turned on the bed, unable to find a comfortable position. A moment later. He suddenly sat up, ready to take a shower to clear his mind.

In another room, one person sat while three stood. After bathing, the children had already fallen asleep, and it seemed that they had played too wildly at night. On the table was an open laptop with a chat interface on the screen. Natalie stared at the screen, somewhat uncertain, and asked, "Is it really okay for us to do this?"

The upper half of Ava's body was leaning on Frank's shoulder, all the weight pressing onto him. Her hands played with Frank's earlobes, feeling that what they were doing now was a bit inappropriate. "But if we don't help, I think Chris will continue to be single."

As soon as Ava finished speaking, Natalie looked at the messages Chris sent to Leia. Indeed, the progress of the two moved as slow as a snail, and it seemed to be slower than a snail's crawling speed, making people worry.

Trevon, on the other hand, leaned lazily against the edge of the table as if he were watching a show. He curled his lips into a faint smile and said teasingly, "No matter how bad it is, it won't be worse than Chris's own message." He thought, 'I'm Chris? Why don't you say that you're alone?' Trevon looked at the laptop screen with an expression of strong disapproval and scorned Chris in his mind. He completely forgot about his own low emotional intelligence.

Frank's hands were already on the keyboard, ready to start. He asked the others, "What should I send first?" Neither Trevon nor Natalie spoke. For a moment, they didn't know how to embody Chris's character and chat with Leia.

Ava thought for a moment and spoke up, "Well, why not start with 'Are you still there?'" Frank's slender fingers tapped the keyboard, and everyone stared at the screen, watching each word being typed. After sending it, they waited. A few minutes later, Leia replied briefly, [Yes. I've got something else to do.]

Trevon embraced Natalie, and Natalie leaned to the side. Both of them focused on the screen, curious about the upcoming results.

Ava continued, "I want to tell you something important." After Ava finished speaking, Frank began typing, the crisp and loud sound of the keyboard filling the room. On Leia's side, there was a moment of silence. Her response wasn't very prompt, which read, [Go ahead. Is it about the company?]

Frank disguised as Chris and texted, [No, it's not about work. I want to tell you that I seem to have developed feelings for you, and I plan to pursue you.]
