Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 297

It was Rose Roberts first time coming to the Turner Manor. Although she had known Ava Turner for a

while, she had never been to this beautiful manor. The Turner family was strict about who was allowed

into the manor

She looked around and couldn’t help but wonder. “Ava, why doesn’t your room look princessy?”

Ava’s room was mainly white in color There was a rectangular are by the window with sheer white

curtains hanging Even the chandelier hanging on the ceiling was white while the bed was beige. The

most colorful things in the room were the light green pillows, bedsheets, and blanket that added a bit of

life to the plain room

There was a balcony outside the window that was decorated with a small sofa and a round swing chair.

There was also a huge cute cartoon plushie sitting on the wing chair

Rose couldn’t help but be amazed by the swing chair. It was made of pure diamond, making it sparkle

under the sun. It was so dazzling that it was hard not to notice it.

Rose estimated that the diamonds on the swing chair had a value of more than 20 million dollars.

Furthermore, it would take at least another 40 million dollars to make such a beautiful chair.

If a thief ever broke into this manor, they would not have to work for the rest of their lives if they just

stole this chair.

Ava placed Jasper on her bed and pushed open a hidden compartment. A spectacular closet appeared

in front of them. Ava then took out a Transformers set from the closet. It looked difficult for her to carry

so many toys at once.

Natalie Foster quickly got up to help Buying him toys again

Ava first answered Rose’s question. As she handed the toys in her hand to Jasper, the replied, “I like

clean looks. With a white base, it wouldn’t look out of place if I change my decorations to different

colors, such as this green bedsheet, this light blue curtains, and cute plushies.”

Rose agreed that it was a good idea and she nodded.

Ava helped Jasper open the toy before explaining. “A few days ago, I went to watch the Transformers

movie with a good friend from my dormitory. I thought it was especially cool, so I bought a set for

Jasper. Doesn’t it look cool?”

When she heard the word “cool”, Rose thought of her brother’s car. At that time, he had also said that it

was cool.

However, when she thought of her brother’s smiling face in the cabin, she couldn’t bear to think about

him anymore as she looked down on him in her heart.

Jasper slid off the bed with the toy and went to play on the carpet. He fiddled with the Transformers

figurines, feeling especially happy. He was a child after all and children, especially boys, liked toys like

these.

A servant’s voice came from outside the door. “Miss Turner, Mrs. Turner wants you guys to head

downstairs to eat.”

Ava replied to the door, “Got it. I’ll be right down.”

Rose followed behind them. Before she left, she took out her phone and took a photo of Ava’s room.

She then recorded a video, focusing it on the diamond sling chair. After that, she continued to take

quite a number of photos.

Every nook and cranny of her room had been captured.

At the dining table, the group of ten of them filled up the whole table perfectly.

The food that was served consisted of dishes from both Athana and Sapphire City. Emma Turner was

very considerate to prepare dishes from Athana as she was afraid that the Wilson family would not be

used to the food here.

Emma smiled and said, “Mrs. Wilson, the dishes on this side were made by a chef from Athana so they

should taste just like back in Athana. If you’re not used to the food in Sapphire City, you can eat those

dishes instead.”

Rachel Wilson thanked her politely. She couldn’t help but admire the Turner family’s thoughtfulness and

meticulousness. “Thank you.”

Emma had long heard from Joseph Turner that Rachel had a cold personality and did not talk much.

The men could always warm up the atmosphere and make things less awkward while the younger

generation would eat in silence. One of the rules of the Turner family was that the younger generation

should not interrupt when the older members of the family were speaking, so Ava and Natalie did not

speak. They just ate their food in silence.

Trevon Wilson picked up his fork and helped to put some food into Natalie’s bowl. He also scooped a

bowl of soup and placed it in front of her. Emma and Daniel Turner looked at each other and nodded

slightly, looking satisfied

Hackett Blackwell was also no longer as sloppy as he was during the day. He had already greeted

Natalie’s uncle and was quietly taking care of Sherri Landor as he ate. He even helped to serve food

and pour drinks.

Ava looked up at the people around her and tightened her grip on her fork. Her heart felt empty as she

couldn’t see the person she wanted to see. However, she also heaved a sigh of relief at his absence.

Looks like he wouldn’t be coming to watch the competition.

That’s true. He didn’t like her to begin with so why would he bother coming over?

When Rose looked up, she happened to see Ava’s disappointed gaze and upset look. She wanted to

tell Rose that Frank Roberts was here, but she was afraid that Frank didn’t come for Ava. After all, she

had seen Frank chatting with someone else in the cabin

This was Rose’s concern.

After much consideration, Rose swallowed her words and ate a big mouthful of macaroni. It was as

though she had wanted to use the food to force the words back.

Halfway through the meal, Caleb Wilson went straight to the point. “Mr. Turner, the main reason for our

trip here is to propose marriage.”

As he spoke, he took out all the things that Trevon had prepared. It was obvious that he had come

prepared. The list they had prepared was very eye-catching as it contained 168 betrothal gifts. The list

was then pushed to Daniel and Emma.

Caleb spoke again. “Mr. and Mrs. Turner, see if there’s anything you need to add. We’ll do our best to

satisfy your wants,”

Daniel picked up the list and glanced at it. 20% of the Wilson family’s shares, Lithern Club, Grand

Manor…

Emma took the list and looked at it. She gently put it down before pushing it to Daniel. She did not say

anything as she knew that the men should be the ones talking in this situation.

Daniel had already put down his fork. He glanced at Natalie and Trevon before clearing his throat. “Mr.

Wilson, we’ll accept this list of betrothal gifts. Looking at the items on the list, we can tell that your

family is very sincere in marrying Natalie. However, let me clarify one thing. Natalie accepting this

betrothal gift is not because the Turner family or Natalie ist coveting your assets. It’s just that Natalie is

worth all that.”

“Since we’ve decided to talk today, I’ll make it clear. Even if Natalie doesn’t marry Trevon, the Turner

family has enough money to even take care of her in her next life. I hope you remember this, Trevon.

Natalie doestit lack money, and we don’t want your things. What the Wilson family has, the Turner

family also has. What I value is that the two children are in love. Of course, as Natalie’s family, the

dowry that we give will definitely be more than the betrothal gifts that Natalie has accepted from you.”

“Mr. Wilson, please don’t refuse. We want to give Natalie so much dowry to show how much we will

back her up. Please understand that.”

The fact that the dowry was more than the betrothal gifts shocked both Rachel and Caleb.

The Turner family’s words were mind-blowing, and there was no room for rejection.

Joseph glanced at his father before saying to the Wilson family, “Mr and Mrs. Wilson, the research

base we built in Athana would also be part of our dowry. We’ve also prepared a private jet, island, villa,

and our shares.”

Daniel interrupted, “Joseph is right. Everything that Ava has, Natalie would also have. Although Natalie

is my niece, both Emma and I see her as our daughter.”

“The Turner family has always doted on the girls. I have split the shares of the Turner Corporation into

four. Emma and I have taken 10% while the three children have each taken 30% so the shares under

Natalie would be used as dowry as well.”

This discussion of betrothal gifts and dowry shocked Hackett and Rose. Both families were giving so

much so nonchalantly that it seemed as though they weren’t giving real money.

Sherri was not surprised by this at all. After living with the Turner family for two years, she knew that

the Turner family had always doted on the girls. Even though she was not related to them by blood,

they still doted on her as well.

Hackett thought in his heart, “Thank god Frank Roberts doesn’t like Ava. If he really wanted to marry

Ava, he probably would end up having to give everything that the Roberts family had.”

They were already so generous even when they were just marrying off their niece, they probably would

give even more when they marry their daughter off.

Caleb objected. If the dowry overshadowed the betrothal gifts, the Wilson family would be laughed at.

He understood his son’s personality so he said, “Mr. Turner, we can accept your other dowry, but we

can’t accept the shares. Please understand from our side as well. You can give the shares to Natalie,

but they can’t be used as a dowry. This has to be agreed in advance, The shares that you gave to

Natalie have nothing to do with this marriage.”

Natalie’s face was covered in tears. She was so touched that tears couldn’t stop falling from her eyes.

She had never thought that her uncle would do this as he had not discussed this with her at all. How

could she accept so much? Trevon wiped her tears away gently.

He patted her shoulder softly to comfort her. His heart ached when he saw her cry and he felt guilty.

Natalie sniffed and said in a nasal voice, “Uncle, I can’t accept the shares. Take them back and give

them to Ava or Joseph Ill only accept the dowry if you take the shares back. Otherwise, I won’t take

anything at all.”

She knew that the Turner family would feel terrible if she didn’t take anything at all

Trevon reminded him, “Mr. Turner, my feelings for Natalie are true. She doesn’t have to bring anything

over and I can guarantee you that she will still be backed in the Wilson family. This gift of yours is a

little too much for Natalie. Initially, my grandfather had planned to give Natalie half of the Wilson This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

family’s shares, but he reduced it as he thought that she would feel burdened by the amount.”

Emina understood. She smiled gently and reached out to pat her husband’s hand gently, persuading

him to compromise on the matter. The couple had a tacit understanding.

Daniel finally relented after he was repeatedly persuaded. When he met Natalie’s slightly red eyes, he

said, “Alright, I’ll listen to you. Then you have to accept the other things I’ve prepared for you. You can’t

go back on your word.”

Natalie smiled with tears in her eyes. “I’ll accept everything, but there’s already so much so you can’t

add anything more. Don’t give me other things just because I rejected the shares.”

Emma laughed as Natalie knew her uncle very well. She said, “You really understand your uncle well,

Natalie. He hasn’t said anything and you can already guess what he wants to do.”

Daniel shook his head helplessly and chuckled. “Then I won’t give you the shares, Mr. Wilson. If you

think it’s still not enough, you can let me know.”

Caleb couldn’t help but laugh. He didn’t feel like he was here to propose marriage. Instead, he felt like

he was here to compete who had more money. They might as well start comparing what was in their

bank accounts. He said, “You’ve given too much. Our family wants Natalie and we don’t care about

anything else. The Wilson family doesn’t lack money. We just lack a daughter-in-law like Natalie.”

Trevon agreed with his father’s words.

After the betrothal gift and dowry were settled, the Wilson family did not stay any longer. After

exchanging a few pleasantries with the Turner family, they indicated that they would return to Athana

tomorrow.

In the end, Daniel asked Joseph to arrange for a private jet to send them back. After everything was

arranged, Joseph personally sent the couple back to Sapphire Hotel.

Jasper was left in the Turner Manor. Emma doted on him so much that she wanted to sleep with him at

night.

It was already getting late so Rose, Sherri, and the others had also left the manor. With Hackett

around, Sherri was too embarrassed to stay over.

After they left, the manor fell silent. Natalie stayed in Ava’s room to chat. On the other hand, Trevon

chatted and drank coffee with Daniel in the study.
