Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 583

Once Ava finished her breakfast, Frank started the car and drove smoothly towards the County Clerk's

Offices to get their marriage certificates.

Ava, feeling content after the meal, suddenly felt her earlier worries were unnecessary. She realized

she should welcome the arrival of their little one with joy, maintaining the best state of mind so that

Frank could feel assured.

As the scenes outside the car window gradually receded, Ava found herself captivated by an

inexplicable joy that welled up from within. It was as if she had unearthed a newfound reservoir of

happiness and wisdom, revealing to her the blueprint for handling future challenges with grace and

confidence.

Half an hour of anticipation and a journey filled with tender conversations and shared dreams brought

them to the entrance of the marriage registration office. The bureaucratic rituals commenced as they

dutifully followed the instructions of the amiable staff. Forms were meticulously filled, signatures were

inscribed with hopeful intent, and official stamps imprinted their significance on the papers, which was

an ensemble of bureaucratic rites for the validation of their love.

An hour later, they finally obtained their foreign marriage certificate. Both patiently waited as the

registration agency rigorously verified the information, Frank, as a foreigner, provided.

Their marital status was now confirmed, no longer just boyfriend and girlfriend, no longer fiancé and

fiancée, but husband and wife.

Stepping out of the solemn halls of the registration office, hand in hand, their hearts brimmed with an

intoxicating mixture of excitement, anticipation, and a profound sense of togetherness. Frank's hand

discreetly held onto something within his pocket, a token that symbolized the intertwining of their

destinies. Meanwhile, Ava, filled with exuberance, hummed a melodious tune while clutching onto NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

something that bound her to Frank for a lifetime.

Seated comfortably inside the car, Ava's enthusiasm overflowed. Eager to share their joyous moment,

she swiftly snapped a picture and posted it in the Tuner family group, the Roberts family group, and the

Women's Congregation. Grace had long added Ava to the Roberts family group.

After sending the messages, the flood of well-wishes began, making Ava feel happy. Her legs swung

excitedly in the car, showing the great joy she was experiencing inside.

Frank, observing Ava's joyous interactions with their loved ones, was struck by a pang of regret. He

pondered why he hadn't insisted on marriage earlier.

The Tuner family group was the first to explode with messages.

Starting with Daniel, the father who doted on his daughter. He sent a lot of stickers to express his good

wishes to the new couple and some texts.

Daniel's text read, [Wishing Ava a lifetime of happiness, my little princess.]

Following suit, Emma, the hostess of the family, sent a message that read, [Mom wishes you and Frank

a lifetime of happiness, my darling.]

Joseph joined in with a unified message. He sent to the group, [Congratulations to our little princess on

finding her happiness, my little girl.]

Sitting next to Joseph was Christina. After the meeting, she went over to report her work. After

receiving the message, she paused and replied to the group. Her message read, [I wish you forever

happiness, my dear sister-in-law.]

Natalie followed the rhythm with a text that read, [Congratulations to our little princess on finding her

happiness, my beloved sister.]

Following Daniel's lead, everybody sent their best wishes to the couple.

Ava's eyes gleamed like a constellation of stars as she received the continuous stream of messages,

each carrying a token of love and well-wishes. Her fingers danced in delight as she checked them, a

wide grin adorning her face. Beside her, Frank, with an indulgent smile, interrupted her joyous revelry:

"Ava, are we heading home now?"

"Yeah, let's go home. I can't wait to hug Mom and Dad," she replied.

Upon hearing that, Frank chuckled softly as he set the car in motion, while Ava remained absorbed in

her phone, responding gleefully to the flood of affectionate messages.

She replied to the messages with a smile, [Thanks for loving me, Dad, Mom, brother, sister-in-law,

sister. I'm so lucky to have you. I love you all.]

Daniel's response followed. It read, [Thank you, my dear daughter, I'm so proud of you.]

The stream of notifications continued, inundating Ava's phone with love and blessings from various

groups. Overwhelmed by the deluge of responses and feeling a tinge of regret for not replying to each

group individually, Ava pondered her hasty action of sending messages in one fell swoop.

She thought that she made a mistake by doing so.

Frank, noticing Ava's dilemma, furrowed his brow in concern. He was tempted to halt the car and assist

her in replying to each message. However, he understood the significance of this moment for Ava and

refrained from intervening, allowing her to share her elation and heartfelt emotions with their loved

ones. He reassured her gently, "Take your time, no rush."

He could only tell her, "No rush. Reply one by one. Take your time."

Ava blew out a breath of air, her lips smacking against each other as she pondered. "But I don't want

them to wait for too long. If only I had a computer, I could reply to all of them at once."

Frank chuckled, amused by her earnestness. He marveled at her desire to manage the messages with

code.

Meanwhile, in the Roberts family group, Grace was the first to respond: 'Welcome, my daughter Ava.'

As Ava continued her enthusiastic responses, an unexpected notification chimed in, alerting her to a

substantial deposit in her bank account. She glanced at the digits, counting the zeros repeatedly in

disbelief.

She looked astonished as she counted the number of zeros after the digits, her voice slightly trembling.

"Grace, oh no, I mean, Mom sent me 16 million dollars..." She was greatly surprised at how generous

her new mother-in-law was.

At her words, Frank wasn't surprised. Grace was known for such generosity. He replied to the girl,

"Grace really likes you."

Ava proudly raised her chin, saying, "Of course, Mom said I'm her daughter, not a daughter-in-law.

Sorry for disturbing your driving; You focus. I'll continue replying."

Just as Ava was about to respond to the incoming messages flooding her phone with gratitude and joy,

a notification popped up, interrupting her intentions. This particular notification came from William. It

was pretty obvious that he wasn't at Grace's office. It read, [Welcome, Ava. We are family from now

on.]

Then, another notification came in. Ava received another large sum of money, followed by a text that

read, [I don't have much money. This is my private savings. Take it as a gift. Grace doesn't know it, so

please do not tell her that I have a private account.]

"Ha-ha-ha, your dad is adorable! But hey, I won't spill the beans; it's our little secret. Ha-ha!" Frank

didn't pay much heed to whatever Ava caught sight of; her happiness was his priority. Steering his

attention back to the road, he concentrated on driving until they finally pulled up at Turner Manor.

Ava sent a private message back to William, saying, [Thanks, Dad. Let's keep this between us. If you

ever need money, just give me a shout. I'm quite well-off these days.]

William responded, saying, [No worries. I can get approvals from Grace. Let's cooperate pleasantly.]

Ava replied, [Sure. Pleasant cooperation.]

Rose stayed quiet on the other end. Ava understood that she was likely at work. While Rose was

typically easygoing in casual settings, she took her job seriously. She refrained from using her phone or

taking breaks during work hours.

In the group chat, Ava openly thanked William.

Later, when Ava left that conversation and entered another group, Sherri seemed particularly ecstatic.

She expressed her joy with a message that conveyed, [Wow, you two are finally together now! You're

husband and wife! You can rely on each other without needing anyone else's help.]

Stella texted, [Congratulations to the lovebirds finally tying the knot.]

Stella wanted to chat for an extra 5 minutes, but with Leia's eyes on her, she had no choice but to stash

her phone away.

Natalie was genuinely happy her little sister found true love. After wishing Ava well in another group,

she quickly jumped into this one and sent, [Congratulations, our little princess.]

The cute Natalie also sent a burst of confetti sticker, wanting to ease any tension in the group for Ava,

and privately sent her some money as a gift.

After receiving the transfer, Ava privately replied, [Sis, you already sent me so much money, why are

you doing it again?]

Natalie replied, [Our little princess got married. I am happy. Your brother-in-law gives me too much

money, and I can't use it all. Help me out. This is just a lucky number. I am not a stingy sister, am I?]

Ava knew her sister was trying to make her happy by accepting the blessing and replied in agreement,

[Of course not. Thank you, sis. Love you.]

It was a happy day, no need for pretense or awkwardness.

A few seconds later, Ava received 5 more transfers from Sherri, each with the lucky number.

Before Ava could respond, Sherri initiated another transaction, leaving Ava puzzled about the

significance behind the numbers.

In the midst of Ava's confusion, Sherri explained. Her text read, [Don't overthink it. It's all because of

the transfer limit. I have prepared way more gifts for your wedding.]

Understanding dawned on Ava. It made sense now.

Sherri was being considerate.

She accepted all the transfers with gratitude and replied to Sherri by texting, [I love you, Sherri.]

Sherri replied, [I love you too, my sweetheart. But don't love me too much, otherwise, Frank will get

jealous of me.]

Ava Turner sent a big laughing emoji.

Thinking it was over, Sherri unexpectedly sent a lot of messages main group again.

Her first message read, [So. When's the wedding? Have you set the date?]

Then she sent another one saying, [Why did this happen so suddenly? None of us have had any clue

before.]

Her third message read, [Natalie, are we even friends? Why didn't you tell me such good news?]

Natalie replied, [Oh my dear. You know what? I've got the news no sooner than you. I am not a god,

you know.]

Sherri replied, [Alright, my bad. Forget about my last message.]

Two-thirds of the messages were Sherri's contributions. The rest were mostly well wishes, with Stella

inquiring about Ava's wedding.

Wedding?

Originally, Ava planned to hold the wedding after the child was born. She replied in the group, [Thanks

for all the good wishes. I need to discuss the wedding with my new husband and will inform you later

on.]

Sherri replied, [Okay. But don't announce it only the day before the wedding. I don't have wings on me.]

Natalie replied, [I can install some rocket on you if you need it.]

Sherri replied to the group, [Goodbye. It was nice being friends with you.]

Ava replied, [Okay. I'll inform you ahead of time.]

Rose didn't participate in this group chat. She was extremely busy at the moment. It was the flu

season. Many children got sick. Naturally, she was occupied.

Ava stared at Frank, her eyes unwavering. "Honey, what kind of wedding would you like? I'll arrange it

for you."

Frank hit the brakes, slowing down at a traffic light. He turned to the earnest young girl in the

passenger seat, faintly smiling. "Am I supposed to join your family?"

Did she want to take care of the wedding?

"No, no. I mean I'll arrange it according to your preferences," Ava quickly clarified.

Frank thought, "Is she reminding me to hold a wedding?"

The traffic light turned green and the car started again. He looked ahead and said, "Baby Ava, the

wedding is my responsibility. Just wait for me to marry you."

Frank pondered. If they were talking about the wedding, and Ava seemed fine, he followed up, "Ava,

when do you want to hold the wedding?"

Their eyes met for a second and then averted. Frank looked away first. He needed to drive. Just as he

turned his head, he heard Ava's soft voice, "Originally, I planned to wait until after the baby was born. I

was just worried, you know? What about when the baby's three months old?" Coոtent beloոgs to

Draмąnоvеls.cоm

Waiting three months would allow them to register the child's birth, making things more stable. It would

reduce the chances of unexpected events.

From her words, Frank sensed Ava's fear of the uncertain. "Still worried?"

Ava didn't hide her thoughts, "A bit, okay?"

Frank replied upon hearing this, "Sure." Making a unique wedding dress wasn't difficult. Anything that

money could solve was a small matter.

As they spoke, another text arrived on Ava's phone. It was another transaction notice, with too many

zeros at the end. 16 million dollars again.

Ava thought, "I have just got married, And I am a billionaire now?"

"I am rich now, damn. My brother-in-law transferred 16 million dollars to me."

Ava repeated, "Helping spend it might help his sleep quality?"

Frank replied, "Yes, in Trevon's case, that's true."

He wished his wife would spend 2 million dollars a day. However, she was too thrifty. She never bought

luxury items or spent recklessly. He had to worry that they had too much money.

"Alright." Ava replied to Trevon, [Thank you, Trevon.]

Trevon replied. [I have a lot of money. Don't worry. Just take it.]

Ava was speechless. She thought, "Frank knows Trevon so damn well."
