Turning Of The Tide By Diana Sander Novel
Chapter 711

As Ruby said, Priscilla promoted another assistant a month later.

This move surprised those who were already envious and disheartened. Paula, who had been working hard and had not lost her fighting spirit, got the assistant position.

Paula was happy, so she treated Ruby and Winnie to lunch that day to celebrate the progress of her career. She also thanked Ruby for her advice.

Half a month later.

Jasper's first kindergarten opened grandly. This was something that the Wilson family had never dabbled in.

The more companies there were, the busier Jasper became. From tto time, Jasper would go on business trips, and accidents would always happen. Perhaps it was predestined by fate.

On this business trip, Jasper did not take a private plane out. Instead, he bought a first-class cabin. Due to the severe flu recently, both captains were infected. Jasper had no choice but to buy a ticket to take the plane.

He could have borrowed a private plane from his uncle-in-law, but Jasper felt it was interesting to sit in first class. Athana Airport was full of people. Trevon, Natalie, Frank, Ava, Sherri, Hackett, and Ruby were all there, whose faces were covered with nervousness and worry.

Natalie, who had always been calm, was so nervous that her palms were sweating. Half an hour ago, Jasper's flight encountered airflow and could not land. The plane had already been delayed for thirty minutes, and the inquiry results were not optimistic.

Seeing that Natalie's shoulders were tense, Trevon comforted her, but he started to panic, too. However, he looked calm on the surface. To reassure Natalie, he said, "It's okay. Your son's life is tough." Sherri's eyes were filled with tears. She raised her hand to wipe them away and patted her best friend's shoulder. She also began to comfort Natalie. "Don't worry. Jasper will be safe." Ava's vision was also blurry. She held Frank's hand tightly. It was enough to see that she was flustered. Feeling Ava's nervousness, Frank held her hand back tightly.

"Natalie, let's wait a little longer. Maybe Jasper will arrive soon." Everyone hoped nothing would happen. Natalie nodded and uttered the word "Okay" with difficulty.

Hackett stood at the side and pursed his lips without saying a word. He no longer had his usual arrogance and sloppy attitude. He was also praying. He thought, 'Boy, you'll be my son-in-law if you can return safely.' Ruby's palms were red from her nails. She clenched her fists tightly and stared at the exit without blinking. She hoped the next person to cout would be the one she was missing. More and more tears fell from the corners of her eyes. Ava walked over to help wipe them and said softly, "Don't worry, he'll be fine." Half an hour later.

Suddenly, Trevon's phone received a message from an unknown number. After reading the message, he smiled and felt relieved.

Just as everyone was panicking and trying not to think of the worst-case scenabefore Trevon could say the content of the message, a tall man in a black suit cout of the exit. He was pushing his suitcase with one hand and holding his phone with the other. It was Jasper.

When he walked through the exit, he saw his parents, aunt, uncle, future parents-in-law, and girlfriend at the airport.

Before Jasper could react, everyone rushed forward. The fastest was Ruby. At that moment, she could not care less. She ran to Jasper and hugged him tightly.

It was as if she could only feel his safety and reality by hugging him like that. She was afraid she would lose him if she let go, and her eyes hot from tears.

Due to the impact, Jasper subconsciously took a few steps back. His first reaction was to hug Ruby back. He held Ruby's waist with one hand and hid the phone in his pocket with the other. He held the back of her head and felt her uneasiness. He asked gently, "What's wrong?" Trevon and Natalie were gratified to see the scene. On the other hand, Frank looked at Hackett with great interest. Hackett was wordless out of shock.

Sensing the burning gaze, Hackett turned his head and glanced at Frank, who smiled faintly. Hackett heaved a sigh of relief and suddenly understood something.

Nothing could compare to being safe and healthy. In an instant, he felt relieved.

Looking at the two hugging each other, Ava covered her mouth and smiled happily. Everything was fine now. It was great to see a rainbow after a storm. She held Frank's hand while Frank interlocked his fingers with hers and raised his hand to kiss hers.

It took Sherri a while to respond. She was so excited that she becthe focus of the entire airport. Her voice was so high that there was even an echo. "That's great, that's great. From today onward, Jasper, I'll not be your godmother but mother-in-law!" Seeing that her son had returned safely, the gloominess in Natalie's heart had dissipated. Natalie cheerfully hugged her best friend, who was grinning from ear to ear, and stopped persuading her to take it slow. "I have no objections. It depends on Jasper." She would be delighted to have another person to love her son.

Since her best friend had no objections, Sherri turned around with a smile like a fool. "You keep your word. If you go back on your word, I'll destroy you, and we'll no longer be friends." Natalie narrowed her eyes and asked, "When have I ever gone back on my word?" Hackett was still staring at his daughter and future son-in-law, so Frank raised his eyebrows and teased, "Congratulations." Hackett had complicated emotions at the moment. He could not describe what he was feeling. Logically speaking, when he saw his daughter hugging Jasper, he should have gone forward to pull her away. Yet, his feet felt full of lead, and they could not move. When he did not see Jasper, he had hoped Jasper would return safely.

He was not in the mood to bicker with Frank. When his lips parted, Trevon glanced at the two people still hugging and unwilling to let go. He eyed Jasper, indicating for Jasper to let go of Ruby and not upset his future father-in- law.

Jasper patted Ruby's back and whispered something in her ear. Then, Ruby stopped tiptoeing and raised her hand to wipe her eyes. Jasper reached out to wipe her tears with his fingertips and smiled.

However, Jasper did not directly call Sherri's name. After all, he still needed his future father-in-law's approval. He only politely greeted everyone.

Trevon put his hands in his pockets and hit Hackett's shoulder with his shoulder. "Well, well. Hackett, why don't we replace a place to talk?" 'And settle the wedding day for our children,' thought Trevon, but he did not say it out loud.

Hearing that, it was rare for Hackett not to refuse. "Alright. Let's go." Ruby had always been polite and well-mannered since she was young. She would never do anything against the rules. Today, in front of so many people, she hugged Jasper and refused to let go. Hackett had already understood his daughter's thoughts.

When he saw his daughter crying so sadly, he knew Ruby did not only have sfeelings for Jasper. She probably loved him deeply.

In the end, Hackett sighed.

Seeing Hackett's sigh, Trevon understood Hackett's true thoughts. "Nyour conditions. I'm satisfied with such a daughter-in-law." Hackett shot a glance at Jasper. He tried his best not to look at the two people behind him in case he had a heart attack. He kicked Trevon angrily. When he was about to kick Frank, Frank dodged quickly.

However, Sherri was elated. Before getting into the car, she looked back from tto tat the two people following behind. Jasper still held Ruby's waist and bent down to comfort her. The scene was warm.

At Grand Manor.

Jasper and Ruby sat together. Under the table, the two held hands. On the way there, Ruby sat in Jasper's sports car. Hackett knew his daughter felt like she had survived a calamity, so he followed her wishes.

When Trevon cin, he realized that the main seat had been occupied. He was in a good mood today and did not mind. He raised his eyebrows and sat opposite Hackett with a grin. "What do you want to eat? Order whatever you want. You'll only have the strength to discuss after eating." "Oh well, thanks a lot." Trevon automatically took Hackett's thank as sincere and replied, "You're welcome." Ava sat beside Natalie and smiled. "Hackett, I've studied finance before. If you can't calculate, I can help you." Ava had also learned from Frank to make jokes about others. What she meant was the engagement gifts.

Hackett looked meaningfully at Frank, who was sitting lazily, and replied with a laugh, "I'll calculate with Frank later." .

Trevon nodded as if he agreed with Ava's words. He reached out his well-defined fingers and pouredam glass of water for Natalie and himself. He pushed the menu to Hackett. "Come, drink swater to fill your stomach first so that it won't hurt your brain when you do the math later." .

Frank stuck his tongue in his cheek and suppressed his laugh. He echoed, "What you said makes sense. Con. We'll all listen to you today." The negative emotions in Ruby's heart had already gone. She held hands with Jasper under the table, beaming as she watched the three elders tease each other.

Jasper tilted his head and asked Ruby softly, "Do you want swater?" Ruby shook her head.

Sherri could not stop laughing. She had finally waited for her daughter to discuss marriage. She kept leaning her head toward Natalie and talking to her. She even spanked Natalie softly from tto time.

Ruby looked at her mother with resignation.

Finally, Hackett listened to Trevon and ordered a table full of dishes. He did not waste such a good chance.

After serving, Jasper put food on Ruby's plate and got her something to drink. He carefully asked if Ruby wanted a dish or not.

.

Ruby was taken care of the entire time. She did not need to move if she wanted anything Jasper seemed to know what Ruby was thinking. After eating the food on the plate, Jasper would put more food on it for her.

.

Hackett noticed all the small details from the corner of his eye. He was satisfied with Jasper. His daughter should have such a man to love and dote on her.

.

Sherri saw the interactions between Ruby and Jasper, too. The smile on her lips widened. She to anhe lepnedkolobe% se to Hackett's ear to avoid embarrassing Ruby and Jasper and asked, "My taste is not bad, right? Look at how good Jasper is to Ruby. Aren't you happy about it?" .

Hackett did not answer Sherri's question. He had already accepted Jasper in his heart. For so long, he had seen how Jasper treated his daughter. He asked, "Am I not like this to you?" Sherri was in a good mood today. It was as if she had won the lottery. She did not mind what she was saying.

"You're very good totoo. I love you." Everyone else had already gotten used to Sherri being demonstrative.
