Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 697

After leaving the theater, Ruby's mind was filled with that kiss. The sound lingered in her ears, and whenever she thought of it, her face would turn red.

Jasper saw that the woman had her head lowered and was thinking about something. As she did not even see the pillar in front of her and almost bumped into it, he reached out and pulled her back into his arms. "What are you thinking about?"

When Ruby came back to her senses, she realized that they were already outside and there was a pillar in front of them. "No, I'm just thinking about the plots of that movie. | think it's quite touching."

"So touching that you want to bump a pillar?" "I'm deep in thoughts." Then, she hugged him coquettishly. "But I'm not afraid. Don't | still have you?" He tapped her forehead lovingly and led her out. "Are you going back to the hotel or going somewhere for fun?"

Ruby raised her hand to look at her watch and realized that it was already 10 at night. It would be too late to go somewhere else to play. "Let's go back to the hotel. We have a trip to Haililand tomorrow."

"Yeah, sure." The next day, Jasper and Ruby rushed to Haililand to participate in the women's clothing design competition.

After the competition ended, Ruby did not win an award. It was within her expectations. After all, it was not her area of expertise. She mainly wanted to gain a clear picture of this field.

Jasper did not want to push her. He told her that he had already hired many famous designers and that there was no need for her to work so hard. He did not want to see her exhaust her energy.

He wanted to give her a finished product, and she wanted to experience the process of completing a half-finished product into a finished product together with him.

When they were in Haililand, Jasper brought Ruby to many places, mountains, theme parks, etc. The last stop was a church at the boundary of Athana.

They went back to Athana after visiting all the fun places in Haililand.

The two of them were holding hands on the steps. Jasper held her waist with his other hand. "Are you tired? You can take a break."

Ruby panted and shook her head. There was a tenacity hidden under her gentleness. "Let's go." The assistant Winnie had already returned. But the four bodyguards were still there behind them.

Twenty minutes later, the couple climbed to the top of the mountain. The air was fresh and the birds chirped in lush woods. The church was surrounded by nature and away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Jasper, who had never believed in religion and only believed in himself, was now asking for something with his hands clasped together. Ruby also put her hands together and closed her eyes, muttering her request softly.

A few seconds later, Jasper stood up and quietly walked to her. He saw that she was still whispering something as if she had endless things to ask for. Her expression was extremely serious, but she frowned.

An hour later, the two of them walked out of the church. Jasper asked, "What did you pray for?" Acomplicated emotion flashed across Ruby's eyes. She begged a lot. "A lot." Jasper was very observant. He happened to catch the emotion in her eyes. Although it was very fast, he still saw it.

Going down the mountain was much easier than going up. He could already feel the change in her emotions as she went up and down the mountain, even though she was always smiling.

After leaving the mountain, he sent Ruby to the studio. On this business trip, Ruby bought gifts for all the elders in the family. The most gifts she bought were for Hackett.

Because of the guilt in her heart, every time she cared about her father, she wanted to tell him about her relationship with Jasper. However, she was afraid that her father would not agree. Her father had said more than once that he would not accept a rich boy. He repeatedly said that he wanted a self-made successful man whose wealth all came from his efforts, not his family.

She stood at the door and watched as Jasper drove away. Her thoughts gradually drifted away. As she thought about it, she was stunned. Winnie was a little suspicious as to why she did not enter. She held her suitcase and stood at the door.

“Ruby, why didn't you come in?"

Ruby did not move. Her eyes were a little dull. She did not know what she was looking at. She did not seem to be able to stay together with Mr. Right and satisfy her father at the same time. "Winnie, if you do something wrong, how will you make up for it and make things perfect?"

Winnie did not understand what she meant. "Huh? Ruby, did you do something wrong?" "Yeah."

Winnie thought for a moment. "Then admit your mistake. If it's not against the law, you can be forgiven. You didn't break the law, right?"

Ruby turned around and laughed. "No, I'm going home first. Remember to lock the door later."

“Ruby, why did you delete the recruitment information on our website? Are we not hiring people anymore?" "Yes, there's no need. I'll get going first."

As she spoke, Ruby called Hackett. The call was quickly picked up. "Dad."

Hackett was very happy to receive a call from his daughter. His voice was filled with joy. "Ruby, what time is your flight tomorrow? Daddy will pick you up.”

Ruby didn't answer. She wanted to surprise her father first because there might be a shock later. "Dad, I'm already at Athana. I'll look for you now. Are you busy now?"

He could not be busy when his daughter came to look for him, but he was indeed not busy this time. "I'm not busy. Do you want to come over yourself or do you want Daddy to pick you up?"

"I'll come to you myself." “Alright, be careful." "Yeah."

After the call with her father, she suddenly became more certain of her praying about the church. She hailed a taxi and told him the destination. "The Blackwell Group."

Perhaps this taxi drive was chatty. "Young lady, are you back from a business trip?" Ruby didn't want to talk with strangers. She was thinking of an opening line later and simply replied, "Yes." The driver saw that she didn't want to talk, so he didn't say anything else and focused on driving.

Forty-five minutes later, the taxi arrived at the Blackwell Group. Hackett was already waiting for his daughter at the entrance. Seeing the taxi stop at the door, he saw that it was his daughter sitting behind.

He quickly opened the door and the trunk to carry her luggage. Ruby looked at her father with a complicated gaze and held her father's wrist as usual. "Daddy."

“Let's go. Daddy has already ordered your favorite milkshake and pastries. Why are you back early?" The two of them strode towards the private elevator.

After a short while, they arrived at Hackett's office. Ruby looked around. She hadn't been here for a long time and asked, "Where's Grandpa?"

Hackett helped his daughter open the milkshake and handed it over. "Your grandfather went to drink coffee and play chess with his old friends in the afternoon. He spent the first half of the day here. His life is comfortable now."

When she came to the office, Ruby started to feel a little nervous. She lowered her head and took a sip of the milkshake. From time to time, she would peek at Hackett. As her father, he had already seen his daughter's gaze three times. "What's wrong? Do you have something to tell Daddy?"

"Yeah."

Hackett's heart panicked for a second when he saw that his daughter wanted to say something but hesitated. "If you have something to say, just say it. I'll help you fulfill it if | can."

Ruby adjusted her emotions and took a big sip of the milkshake. "Dad, can you tell me what you want from your future son-in- law?"

Hackett had thought that her daughter would ask this question sooner or later, but he did not expect it to be so early. However, somehow it was not unexpected in some way. Based on her daughter's usual dress and smile, there were already signs that she had a boyfriend. "You have someone you like.”

Ruby nodded heavily and did not lie anymore. She suddenly felt that it was so easy to tell the truth. "Yes, can Daddy tell me?"

It was a special feeling when he heard his daughter say that she had fallen for someone. Although he had expected it, he was still reluctant. "That Wilson guy?"

Ruby was stunned. She did not expect her father to guess it right. However, she did not nod immediately. Instead, she looked at Hackett expectantly, wanting her father to talk about what his future son-in-law should be like.

Hackett said, "Actually, only half of Dad's requirements about your husband is true. | don't want a mM second-generation Welt Bacatse’ an ijounpelant person who takes over the company will probably ruin the business and kill the future. Even if you marry into a rich family now and live a good life, you will still suffer when the company goes bankrupt one day." Please read the original content at .All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Upon hearing this, Ruby's eyes began to warm up. Tears covered her eyes. Hackett did not get up. Instead, he handed a tissue to his daughter. This was the first time the father and daughter talked about things like this. The atmosphere was a little sad and serious. Ruby took the tissue and wiped her eyes. She nodded.

"That's why | hope you will find a self-made rich man. That means he is indeed a capable man and promises a good future for you. It's true that he has to be taller than feet and have ehandsolte hee his iGmrainly Because of your mother's profession. I've watched too many videos about gynecology and obstetrics with your mother. | think genes are still quite mysterious. For the sake of the next generation, you still have to choose a pretty face. Look, your mother and | have good genes. And that's why you and Liam are also good-looking. This is genetics, so in terms of looks, we have to set up some demands."

Ruby was amused by her father's words. She felt less nervous. According to his father's request, Jasper seemed to be compatible. He just did not know how rich that self-made man should be. "Dad, does he have to be the richest in Athana?"

Hackett was very happy with his daughter's words today. From her words, he could tell that his daughter was choosing a son-in-law a ding to his sta dards oniSmesnt that Ruby es ed about his opinion. "No. That's not necessary. It's Dad who wants to give some pressure to the boys who want to pursue you. If someone works hard and keeps climbing for you, it means that this boy does like you and does want to marry you. It's also a test. What do you think?" Please read the original content at .

Ruby got it. "Daddy, I'm in a relationship.”

What would come would come. He had expected it. A few days ago, when he asked Frank to investigate their hotel records, he told Frank that his daughter might be in a relationship. Now that he heard his daughter admit it, he was suddenly not excited, perhaps he had guessed too much. "Have you been in a relationship for a long time? With that brat?"
