Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 494

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of Christmas.

Perhaps because it was Christmas, those who could go home had all gone home. The originally dim house was also

brightly lit these few days.

Even the entire Athana was filled with the festive atmosphere of Christmas. At night, fireworks bloomed gorgeously

in the dark sky, trying their best to leave behind the last bit of beauty.

The sky was extremely bright as if it was daytime. It was filled with a Christmas atmosphere at that time.

As someone grew older, his mentality also became calm. When he was young, he would happily walk around the

house a few times when he received a new set of clothes during Christmas. From time to time, he would take out

this new set of clothes to take a look. When he received a small gift, he would hide it under his pillow and secretly

take it out to look at it.

When he grew up, he began to hope that there would only be an increase in the number of relatives during

Christmas, but no decrease in the number of relatives. Every year was a big

reunion. Christmas wishes were no longer a lot of money, but peace and health.

The Wilson’s residence’s outfit was even more festive. It was decorated with many beautiful things. Christmas trees

and decorations were at the house. The Christmas tree was decorated with colored lights.

Flashing colored lights and cute dolls filled the gaps in the trees. Trevon had prepared these for Jasper and the

other two Little Princesses.

In the distance, a black car drove toward the courtyard and

Turning Of The Tide

stopped steadily in front of Natalie and Trevon.

Trevon, who was wearing a black coat, held the shoulder of Natalie, dressed in a cream–colored coat, and waited

for the person in the car to get out. The door was opened, and a young man in a black coat got out of the front

passenger seat. At his young age, it seemed that he had lost his pure youthful aura.

The boy greeted politely and respectfully, “Hello, Natalie, Trevon.

Trevon nodded. Natalie smiled slightly and reached out to put her arm around Tucker’s shoulder. Tucker was a little

awkward. She led him into the living room.

Ever since she added contact information with Tucker, Natalie’s relationship with him had become much closer.

Usually, she would instruct him to study hard and advise him to do

something meaningful.

With three children, Natalie was relieved of the past. During Christmas, every family was lively and happy. Only

Tucker was alone. Harry was in prison, Elena had died, and Emily was missing.

As for Tucker, who was alone, he was unwilling to return to the villa of the Foster family. He always said that the

house belonged to his sister and returned it to her. Natalie asked Trevon to bring the child back to the Wilson’s

residence.

In fact, the school had been on holiday for a long time. Trevon had also looked for Tucker a long time ago. However,

this child could endure hardships. He found a temporary job to take over the work of those workers who were from

other cities and went home. He had to work until the night of Christmas Eve.

Tucker’s work had just ended. Trevon had sent someone to pick him up. Jim had already returned to his hometown.

It was said that he had gone back for a blind date

Regarding Tucker’s part–time job, Natalie had only advised him a few times. Tucker always said that it was not

difficult so Natalie did not say anything else.

However, how could it not be difficult? This child was still young. All he could do was secretly wash the dishes in the

kitchen, mop the floor, or even other harder work.

She remembered that Tucker said to her that only by

experiencing the most bitter part of life would he remember the bitter part of his life. Only then would he cherish

what he had

now.

This should not be something a teenager could understand, but Tucker had paid attention to it in advance. Trevon

felt that this was not a bad thing. He could suffer, reflect, and think. He would not go astray.

Theo, Rachel, and the others saw Natalie taking a boy and coming in. Everyone was enthusiastic, especially Theo.

He waved lovingly and felt a little heartbroken. This child was quite good–looking, but he had such bad parents.

“Come, child, come

to me.”

Natalie patted Tucker’s shoulder. “Go and call Grandpa.” After saying that, she rubbed the back of his head.

“Hello, Grandpa. Sorry to disturb you.” He couldn’t be more polite. Seeing this, Natalie was a little heartbroken.

Trevon touched her hand and comforted her. “Don’t worry, he is much more cheerful now. He is just more sensible

than many children.”

Mary had never seen Tucker before, but he was brought in by Natalie. The boy who was brought in by Trevon must

be an important person. Thinking of this, she carried fruits and placed them in front of Tucker.

Natalie introduced openly, “Mary, this is my younger brother

After introducing them one by one, Tucker obediently followed Natalie’s guidance and greeted them politely. He was

very touched and his eyes turned slightly red because Natalie had acknowledged him as her half–brother before so

many people. His father and mother were still the people who harmed Natalie. Natalie was so magnanimous.

Theo was old, but his observation skills were not bad. He reached out his loving hands and patted Tucker’s hands.

He said softly, “Relax, Natalie is very kind. You’re also a good child.”

Tucker pursed his lips and nodded.

After dinner, Trevon returned to his room to take care of the children. When the nanny saw him enter, she

automatically left the room.

Natalie took Tucker to the guest room. It was next to her room. The room was very simple. There was a bed, a

small sofa, and a desk. There were many books on the bookshelves. The compact room was very warm and not as

empty.

“Stay here tonight. Let’s go in and see if you like it.” He was pushed in by Natalie and looked around. He should

have stayed in a corner alone for Christmas. Now that Natalie had brought him to such a big family, how could he

not like it? He was so touched.

“Thank you, Natalie. I like it very much.”

“Tucker, let’s play together.” Jasper, who was wearing a red coat, stood his ground. He knew Tucker because

Natalie would show Jasper photos of Tucker from time to time.

Tucker squatted down and picked up Jasper. “Okay. Natalie, can I bring him to my room to play?”

“Sure. Jasper, listen to him and don’t cause trouble, okay? You can’t jump on his bed.”

Jasper agreed readily on the surface, but it was difficult to

guarantee his actions. “Okay”

Walking down the stairs, Natalie bumped into Lena, who was

onning out of the room. “Lena” she said.

Lena knew that Natalie was kind and did not interfere with her actions. Moreover, Turker was a pitiful child. He was

as unlucky as Natalie, She could understand Natalie’s actions, “Hello,

Natalie, Where’s Jasper?”

“Jasper is playing with Tucker, Lena, Tucker is actually a good kid. He’s very kind, but..”

“Natalie, I support whatever decision you make. Although I’m old, I can judge him clearly, Tucker’s eyes are pure

and without any other intentions. He’s a kind child like you.

Natalie smiled and held Lena’s wrist as they went downstairs. “Actually, I’ve seen Tucker a few times outside the

Foster’s residence’s courtyard. It’s just that every time I went out, he would run away quickly, I don’t know what

he’s here for. I’ve told Theo this a few times. Theo only sighed and said that he hoped Tucker to be kind all the

time”

After hearing this, Natalie was surprised because she had never seen Tucker before.

However, from these actions, she could know Tucker’s truest thoughts from in his heart. He wanted to approach,

but he was afraid,

At 12 o’clock, after Trevon put the two children to bed, he carried a box of fireworks and placed them in the

courtyard. Natalie, Tucker, Jasper, and Rachel were all in the courtyard. Even Theo, who usually slept carly, was in

the courtyard.

Theo smiled as he watched the younger generation holding fireworks and spinning in circles in the courtyard. The

bright flames were exceptionally dazzling in the dark night.

Amidst the laughter and different emotions, Tucker took care of

Jasper all the way. He chased after Jasper and carefully followed behind him. His metions were filled with protection.

Theo saw this and kept nodding. He thought, “Tucker is a good child. He is not like his mother and doesn’t become

bad”

After playing for more than an hour, everyone received different Christmas greetings. They sat in the courtyard and

replied to the greetings on their phones.

They wished each other a safe and healthy new year. The older they got, the more they realized that only when

they were safe and healthy would they be happy.

Because there were two Little Princess sleeping, Trevon didn’t set off fireworks in the air because he was afraid of

waking up the little girls.

Theo liked this atmosphere very much. He stood at the door with his walking stick and sighed deeply. The happier

he was, the more unwilling he was to leave. He said to Gage beside him, “People are indeed greedy, I want to live a

few more years.”

Gage said, “Theo, don’t worry. You still have a long life ahead of you. With Mrs. Wilson watching your health every

day, you’ll definitely live for a long time.”

Maybe his fate had been decided long ago. How could Natalie change it? When the time was up, no one could stop

him. No matter how reluctant he was, he had to leave. Could Barron bear to leave Natalie? He definitely couldn’t. It

was just that his life had ended,

Theo did not say this out loud. He only smiled slightly and thought to himself that he did not want to dampen

everyone’s spirits during Christmas. It was fine if he could live for another

year.

Tucker’s phone received a short message from an unknown number. (Merry Christmas. Be happy.l

He knew that it was from Emily. He replied. [Okay. Thank you.]

After that, no one replied because Tucker knew that even if he asked Emily where she was, there would be no reply.

Emily had been missing for a long time and had never sent him a message. There was not a single message before.

This was the first

message.

She only went to the school gate to look for him the night before she left to give him some money. However, Tucker

rejected her. Before she left, Emily only said, “Take good care of yourself. I’m not worthy of being your sister. Just

treat me as if I’m dead.”

They had never seen each other since that night.

Natalie asked, “What’s wrong? What’s the matter?”

Tucker said, “No, I… She sent a message to me.” He was afraid that Natalie would think too much, so he didn’t call

Emily his sister.

Natalie simply nodded and didn’t ask further. In fact, she

couldn’t forgive everyone. As for Emily, Natalie could ignore her, not pursue her, and not trap herself in the past,

but Natalie could not help her and didn’t want to ask around.

Patting Tucker on the shoulder, Natalie said, “It’s Christmas. You are a year older now. Be happier. We have to look

forward. Remember what I said. You don’t owe me anything. If you keep apologizing to me, you’re reminding me of

my past. Tucker, we’re not lucky to have an irresponsible father, and you have a mother who loves you. It’s just that

your mother loves you in the wrong way.”

Natalie put her arm around Tucker’s shoulder. “Let the past be past after 12 o’clock, okay? It’s a new year. None of

us will live in the past. The future is beautiful. Come here or Phoenix Manor when you’re on holiday in the future.”

“Okay, thank you, Natalie.”

“We’re a family, so there’s no need to thank me. You continue playing, then go upstairs, and sleep. I’ll take you out

to play

tomorrow.”

“Got it.”

After the fireworks, Theo began to give gifts to them. Every gift was great, and Gage was distributed one by one,

Of course, Tucker also had a gift. After the first round of distribution, the second round was Rachel and Caleb’s gifts.

It was Rachel who distributed them to everyone.

“Alright, you youngsters can continue to play. I am going to sleep. I can’t keep up with you youngsters.” As Theo

spoke, Cage supported Theo and walked towards the stairs.

“Thanks, Theo, Caleb, Rachel.”

Tucker said, “Thanks, Theo, Caleb, Rachel.”

Jasper shouted, “Thank you.”

Trevon looked at his empty hand and laughed. This was really favoring them over me. He was a little speechless

and he

thought, “At least give me a gift.”

Natalie gave Trevon a gift. “Don’t be sad. I’ll give you one.”

“Thanks, honey.”

“Trevon…” Seeing that Trevon did not have a gift, Tucker wanted to give it to him too, but he was stopped. “Keep it

and go play.” At that time, the Roberts family was also unusually lively. Because there were no babies here, Frank

and Edward both arranged huge and beautiful fireworks for Rose.

The entire villa was like a fireworks party. Frank and Edward were like staff, lighting fires and setting up fireworks

just to make the Roberts family’s treasure happy.
