After ending the conversation, Trevon did not put down his phone. Instead, he played with it. He spun
the black phone around in his palm. He was extremely familiar with doing this. He raised his brows.
A moment later, he stopped spinning his phone and called Frank. The phone rang for a long time
before it was picked up.
From the sound of it, Frank was busy. He was unhappy that Trevon had disturbed him. Frank said in an
unfriendly tone, “Hello.”
With just one word, Trevon could hear the displeasure in Frank’s voice. Instead of getting straight to the
point, he changed and teased him first. “Are you dissatisfied after Ava left?”
“Get lost. If you have something to say, say it. I’m busy,” Frank said bluntly.
“Yup, looks like you’re definitely sexually unsatisfied. Since you’re so lonely, why don’t I bring you to
Sapphire City tomorrow?”
Trevon’s offer was kind, but there was no kindness in his tone. Instead, there was mockery.
How could Frank not hear it? He could imagine Trevon’s expression through the screen and guessed,
“The tomboy just gave birth?”
“Yes. Are you going or not? We’re leaving tomorrow.”
The man on the other end of the line was silent for half a minute. Then his deep voice came from the
phone again. “You guys go first. I’ll go in a few days.”
“Alright. I’ll hang up if there’s nothing else.” Trevon hung up before Frank could say anything.
After hanging up the phone, he smiled. Jim, who was organizing
documents next to him, did not understand what was going on. He found his employer’s smile was a
little meaningful and sinister.
Jim did not know if it was an illusion.
Trevon rolled up his sleeves and picked up his pen again. Just as he was about to sign the next
document, he looked up at Jim coldly and asked, “Do you believe that Frank will go in a few days?”
“Erm, I don’t know,” Jim said. He thought, “How would I know? Mr. Roberts does things without rules.
Who knows what he is thinking?”

Trevon was just looking for amusement. “Make a guess. If you’re right,
your bonus will be doubled next month. If you’re wrong, half of it will be deducted.”
The sudden question stunned Jim. It was akin to being caught in a sudden downpour on a sunny
afternoon. Whether Frank went or not should have nothing to do with his bonus.
Jim wanted to cry but had no tears. He braced himself and said, “Mr. Wilson, what do you think?”
Trevon threw the pen into the pen holder. His aim was extremely accurate. “You’re quite smart. If I say
it, then there’s no need for you to guess. Hurry up.”
Trevon’s interest was piqued now. He urged Jim.
Jim felt that Trevon’s brain was not right. Trevon was simply bored and entertaining himself. Jim took a
deep breath. Just as he was exhaling, Trevon said, “Why don’t you just randomly pick one? My son is
quite accurate each time when he does that.”
“There’s no need. I might not have the same luck as Mr. Jasper. I think Mr. Roberts will make a surprise
move.”
After listening to Jim’s answer, Trevon crossed his arms and looked at Jim with interest. It made Jim’s
hair stand on end.
Trevon looked at him directly for a moment without saying anything. He just kept tapping on the desk.
Finally, he said indifferently, “Alright. Then, we’ll reveal the answer tomorrow and see what your fate is
next month.” Jim was silent. “Please bless me, Mr. Roberts,” he thought inwardly.
If Frank heard Jim, he would have said, “I’m still fucking alive and not dead yet.”
Ava’s voice came from the courtyard of the manor. Before she entered the living room, she began
shouting Stella’s name from the outside.
“Stella… I’m back.” She skipped in and looked around the house. “Mom, where’s Stella?”
Emma saw that her daughter was anxious to see Stella and rebuked, “Greet the guests properly first.”
Ava turned around and saw that her sister-in-law’s parents and her brother were in the living room. She
politely called out to everyone before running off. Emma, who was standing in the living room,
reminded her again, “Slow down.”

“Got it, Mom. I’m going to see my nephew.”
There would be a new baby calling her Auntie Ava. She was still incredibly excited about it.
Angie smiled and praised, “Ava is really motivated. If only our Stella is like this.” Speaking of her
youngest daughter, she was quite exasperated.
Joseph sat in the armchair and said calmly, “Angie, Ms. March said that Stella has been doing quite
well recently and has improved a lot.”
Daniel nodded. “It’s good that there is improvement. Ava also has to stay up late to study at night.
Stella has to stay up late to work overtime. It’s all the same. They’re all slowly improving.”
Seeing that everyone was explaining for Stella, Angie could not criticize her anymore. Charlie also felt
that his daughter had improved a lot. Although her improvement was slower than Christina’s, it was still
considered an improvement.
It wasn’t that Stella wasn’t smart. It was just that her heart wasn’t on her work. Stella looked forward to
getting off work and resting every day. Her attitude was the problem.
On the other hand, Christina was different. She took the initiative to study up. When she was free, she
would work overtime. She felt that it was a waste of time to be idle. One took the initiative to study, and
the other was pushed to study. The effect would definitely be greatly reduced for the latter.
Upstairs, Ava was very polite. Even if she wanted to go in to see the child, she would knock on the
door. She was not sure if her sister-in-law did. not like to be watched when she fed the child. Thus, Ava
thought it was more appropriate to knock on the door first. She knocked very softly. “Christina, can I
come in?”
Christina’s voice came from inside the room. “Ava, come in.”
The door was opened by Stella. As soon as it was opened, the two of them hugged each other. After
hugging for a while, they walked into the room hand in hand. “I thought you would only arrive at night.”
Stella began to criticize, “Why are you on the same side as my sister? You didn’t even tell me anything.
We thought that we were here to accompany the delivery, but in the end, Joseph said that she had
already given birth. At that time, I was completely dumbfounded. For a second there I didn’t even know
what was going on and who I was.
Stella recounted the moment very vividly, with a lot of gestures. It was as
10:24
if she could not fully express the shock she had experienced if she did not express it that way.
Christina glared at her sister who was making faces and called out to Ava, “Ava, sit down. Talk properly,
Stella. You came from Athana.”
“Christina, do you still know how to carry on a conversation? I really don’t know how Joseph usually
chats with you.”
Stella pursed her lips and made faces at Ava.
Christina thought, “Joseph is amazing. He can continue the conversation no matter what is being said.”
Ava actually wanted to carry the baby, but her nephew had very good sleep quality. He would be
sleeping all the time, so she rarely got the chance to hold him. She could only explain Stella’s question.
“Christina is the one who has the most say in our family now.” She chuckled.
“It’s my idea. Don’t push it onto Ava. I’m the one who said not to tell you. What can you do if you come
early? Sit outside and watch dramas until I’m done giving birth, or can you accompany me during the
delivery?”
Stella thought about it. It should be the former. She was afraid of blood. She wisely shut her mouth. As
an elder sister, Christina knew her younger sister’s temper too well.
For the first hour, Stella might have waited anxiously outside with their parents. If Christina did not
come out after an hour, Stella would definitely take out her phone to watch dramas. There was no
doubt about it.
Stella had always been carefree. Christina didn’t even know when she would grow up. Stella had an
easy and comfortable life since childhood and did not have any burdens.
Without experiencing any setbacks, Stella grew up slowly.
Stella stayed in Christina’s room for more than an hour. Before Ava came in, her sister was lecturing
her. After Ava came in, they began to talk normally.
Ava observed that Christina had been sitting there for a long time. Since the little baby had fallen
asleep, she pulled Stella to her room so that her sister-in-law could rest. “Christina, lie down for a while.
Joseph said that you can’t sit up for a long time. It’s not good for your waist. I’ll bring Stella to my room
to play.”
Christina felt that there was a huge gap between her sister and Ava. Stella
10:24
was clearly the older one, but Ava was much more sensible. “Alright. Behave yourself and don’t make
too much noise.”
“Got it. I’m not a child. Go to sleep. I’m leaving.” Stella did not want to be criticized by her sister
anymore.
She came to Ava’s room.
Stella felt that she was at home here. Ava had a bed full of soft toys. Without thinking much about it,
she spoke the idea that popped into her head, “Ava, I’ll sleep with you tonight.”
Ava smiled in embarrassment and rejected politely, “I’m sorry, Stella. My bed can’t be shared with
others. You can play in my room.”
After saying that, she even put on an apologetic smile.
Stella’s eyes were filled with suspicion. “Why? Can only boyfriends sleep in the beds of people in a
relationship?”
When she was working as a receptionist at the Wilson Group, one of her colleagues also had a
boyfriend. When her boyfriend was not around, her best friend would go and stay there.
Ava laughed. “My bed only has room for Frank.”
Since that was the case, Stella couldn’t force the issue. Perhaps it was an agreement between the
young couple, or perhaps Frank was obsessed with cleanliness, or maybe Frank was especially
domineering about this. “Alright. I’ll play here for a while.”
“Sure. Let’s sit on the balcony. My room has the best view of the entire courtyard.” When she pushed
open the balcony door, Stella was stunned by the hanging chair.
“Oh my god! Is this real or fake?”
She couldn’t help but touch it.
“It’s real. What do you want to drink? These are the drinks and snacks Joseph bought for me. Take
whatever you like,” Ava replied at the top of her voice. She took out the snacks Joseph had bought for
her from the
room.
Stella sat gingerly on the diamond hanging chair. For a moment, she felt that her butt was embedded
with diamonds. It felt extremely precious. “Frank is obsessive about cleanliness?”
The image of Frank appeared in Ava’s mind. She couldn’t help but smile at the thought of his
handsome face. He really liked to tidy things up. “I

think so.”
So that was it. She was right. Stella looked like she understood and was calm.
At night, a plane landed at Sapphire Airport. A man in a black windbreaker and carrying a suitcase
alighted from the plane.
His purpose was clear. He was headed to the Turner Manor.
A few hours ago, Frank told the Roberts family about Christina’s birth, and Grace directly asked Frank
to represent them.
William and Grace guessed that their son missed Ava. Both of them tacitly chose Frank as their
representative.
The anxious Frank simply packed his luggage that night and took a private plane to Sapphire City. It
was already 1:08 a.m., so it should be about 2 a.m. when he arrived at the manor.
He turned on his phone and used the app to call a car.
In the car, he closed his eyes to rest. When the car arrived at the entrance of the manor, he asked the
driver to leave. After seeing that the car had driven far away, he let the entrance door open.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
He instructed the bodyguard, “Send me in. My car is inside.”
The bodyguard at the door said respectfully, “Yes, Mr. Roberts.”
Outside the manor, it was very quiet. There were only the crisp and pleasant sounds of birds chirping.
Frank did not drag his suitcase. Instead, he carried it by hand. He walked to the door and opened it
with a key.
Christina had to wake up at night to feed the child. After the child drank his fill, he would fall right back
into a sound sleep. At the moment when Frank entered the house, Joseph was awake. Christina’s ears
were also very sharp. “Joseph, why do I hear the sound of the door opening downstairs?” It was
probably not an illusion.
“You sleep first. I’ll go take a look.” As he spoke, Joseph took his coat and put it on..
Joseph comforted his wife when he saw her worried gaze. “Don’t worry. No one else can come in. It
might be Frank or Natalie.”
In that case, Christina was relieved. She thought about it and decided that he was right.
One went upstairs while the other went downstairs. The two of them met
10:24
on the stairs, only two steps away. Joseph looked down at Frank with a smile in his eyes. “The news
spreads quite fast.”
Frank said, “The phones must be off.” The meaning behind it was very clear. Frank was pointing out
that no one had told them about it. Trevon was the one who had notified them.
Joseph didn’t continue with the topic. After all, he didn’t inform him. He thought that Ava would inform
Frank about it. From Frank’s current expression, Ava had forgotten.
He guessed that it was because she had too much fun with Stella in the afternoon.
