Chapter 326

After bring stunned for a while, Frank finally compromised under Ava’s expectant gaze. The little girl’s gaze was not something he could resist.

Frank picked up the green cap and pushed the white suitcase. He caressed Ava’s neck with his other hand and pinched it gently as if he was half-wrapping it. Then, he walked out of the door of Lithern Club. At that moment, Lily’s tears that she had been holding back finally rolled down.

It did not feel good to be ignored and treated as transparent. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

After waiting for so many years. Frank finally told her through his actions that she had waited for nothing. If he didn’t like it, then he didn’t like it. Love was unachievable regardless of how long she waited.

Lily thought Frank had not known Ava for a long time. Otherwise, she would not have looked unfamiliar. However, based on how much Frank doted on her, Lily had thoroughly failed in her pursuit. She was just not sure if Frank liked Ava on a whim Lily chose to believe it was true.

When Frank was still in Sapphire City, Lily accidentally overheard the call between the manager and Miss Roberts. At that time, it seemed Miss Roberts was going to Frank’s villa to get something, but she forgot the password and did not want Frank to know, so she called the manager.

The manager told Miss Roberts that Mr. Roberts did not leave his keys in the Lithern Club. Eventually, the manager suggested that Miss Roberts call Mr. Roberts to ask. Miss Roberts replied that her brother was busy chasing his sister-in-law and unavailable to speak to her.

As Lily was standing close by, she heard everything. Her heart had ached so much that she could not breathe. It was as if a rose one had meticulously protected withered suddenly without warning.

Frank placed the suitcase in the trunk and helped her open the door to the passenger seat. He placed one hand on the roof to prevent the little girl from knocking on her head. After she got in, he gently closed the door..

Ava sat down gracefully in the car and took the initiative to buckle her seatbelt. Her exquisite facial features were no longer that of being angry. She turned to her side and asked curiously, “Frank, is that beautiful lady attracted to you? She looked like she wanted to confess to you just now.”

Frank fastened his seatbelt and did not start the engine immediately. He could only tell the truth to the little girl. His right hand held the back of her head and brought it before him. Their eyes locked, and Frank said solemnly, “I can’t change her mind. What I can do is take care of mysell. We are nothing but employee-employer. Nothing will happen between us. Are you hungry?”

He smoothly changed the topic 180 degrees.

Ava was quite satisfied with Frank’s answer. She sat upright and ordered graciously, “I want to drink a milkshake.”

Being in a bad mood made her crave to eat something sweet. Being in a good mood made her crave something sweet to drink

“Okay,” said Frank. With that, he turned on the screen in the car and called Rose.

The call was quickly picked up. Rose was applying nail polish on her balcony and leisurely chewing gum when the phone rang. Pop songs were playing in the background. She said, “Dear brother, do you miss your dear sister?”

Rose did not know that her brother had been locked up for a few days. The patriarch and matriarch of the Roberts family did not say anything. Natalie did not say anything either. After all, Frank did not want more people to be anxious. All male chauvinists hoped that they could solve the matter themselves.

Rose’s happy voice echoed in the car. Frank could not be bothered replying to her. If it were not for the fact that it was not possible to stay with Ava alone now, he would not have bothered to call his sister.

“Rose, where are you? I’m at Athana now. Let’s have a milkshake together,” Ava said.

Ava grinned and explained clearly where she was and what she planned to do next.

Frank’s car drove to the more popular milkshake store. While Rose was talking, he had already searched for the most popular milkshake store amongst online influencers.

The car drove steadily, and Frank did not say anything. Rose was excited and exclaimed, “Wow, Ava, you came to Athana. When did you come? Where are you now? Are you with my brother?”

Ava did not know which question to answer first. Frank interrupted the noisy question. “I’ll give you 40 minutes to come to Deepwater Bay.

There was no room for negotiation in his tone.

“Sure, bring me a cup of milkshake too. I want something with a little more to chew. I’ll like some sprinkles, some crushed cookies, and…”

Frank closed his eyes and reminded his sister patiently. “I don’t plan to buy up the entire store. It’s enough. Come over

“Got it Right away,” Rose replied and hurriedly hung up.

After hanging up. Ava was in a good mood. She stared blankly at Frank’s slender fingers and thought them attractive. She wanted to grab onto them and said. “Frank”

“Hmm! What’s wrong?” Frank asked.

Ava said bluntly. “I want to hold your hand.”

Frank curled his lips and stretched out his right hand. He turned the steering wheel with his left hand and wrapped his fingers around her petite hand. Their fingers intertwined, and their thoughts were transmitted to each other through their palms.

Ava pursed her lips and held back her laughter. She turned her face away and blushed slightly. She shifted her gaze to the scenery outside the window and was so excited that she was about to explode.

Frank turned to look at the shy little girl at the traffic light. She was pretending to be brave. Just now, she took the initiative to hold his hand. Now, her face was as red as a cooked crab. He did not expose her. Instead, he grabbed her even tighter. Her soft fingers intertwined with his, just like the threads of their relationship intertwined. They could not be separated. The car arrived at a milkshake store shortly. Frank parked the car but did not let go of Ava’s hand. He gently squeezed it and asked. ‘Do you want to go down and buy it together? Should I buy it for you?”

Frank knew how to respect Ava. Although the little girl was young, she had her thoughts and opinions. He could not help her make all the decisions.

“I want to go with you.” Ava decided.

“Okay.” Frank said as he leaned forward to help her unbuckle her seatbelt. At close range, the scent of his body drifted into her nose. Ava followed her heart and kissed his face when Frank unbuckled her seatbelt.

After kissing him, she even smiled playfully and feigned innocent. Frank felt that he would be seduced to death by the little girl sooner or later, so he had to endure his urges.

He turned solemn and took a deep breath. He placed his hands on the side of where Ava was seated and leaned half of his body on hers. He rubbed his nose against hers and suppressed his urges while muttering. “Baby Ava, be good.”

“Alright.” Ava said. She was satisfied with Frank’s reaction and smiled slyly. When Frank released her, she slipped out of the car with a wry smile.

Frank shook his head helplessly. He opened the door and got out of the car. He went around the front, held Ava’s hand, and walked toward the counter. Ava blushed and ordered her favorite flavor of milkshake.

“Done?” Frank asked from the side.

Ava nodded. She was satisfied with one cup of milkshake. She would not be able to finish if she ordered too much. Seeing that she had already ordered, Frank said to the waiter, “A glass of milkshake. Add all the toppings you can and put it in your largest container.”

He added, “50% sugar level. How much sugar do you want?” The second half of the sentence was directed at Ava.

*30%. I don’t eat anything too sweet. When at home, Emma would always tell her that she had to quit sugar and abstain from eating sweet things often.

However, she could not resist a milkshake. All girls like milkshakes! She still had to have it when she craved it. She could only halve the sugar. Anyway, her current life was already very blissful. She did not need to consume any more sugar.

The waiter was confused by Frank’s order and commented, “Add all the toppings? This will be a ginormous serving The restaurant doesn’t have such a big cup. Nobody has ever ordered such a milkshake. Please don’t put me in a spot.”

The shop assistant asked with a smile, “Handsome, we don’t have such a big container in our shop. Can I pack the other things in a separate bag for you?”

Frank held Ava in his right hand and looked around at the equipment in the shop. In a second, his gaze landed on the iron bucket in the stall’s hand. It was used to hold ice cubes. Yes, it was the iron bucket.

After a while, a small cup of milkshake and a ginormous bucket of milkshake were placed on the bar counter. The waiter was utterly embarrassed. There was also a more pressing problem, which was the price. How much should they charge for this?

Ava’s milkshake was 4 dollars, and the one for Rose was hard to estimate.

Ava could not help but swallow her saliva in shock. She turned to ask the calm man beside her with uncertainty, “Frank, are we… going to take this back to Rose?”

“Wasn’t it too big? She would have to eat for a few days. Rose would most likely vomit,” Ava thought.

“Yes, please put a plastic wrap over it so it’s completely sealed,” Frank instructed. After saying that, Frank placed three 20

dollars bills on the counter.

Some netizens had taken photos of Frank’s antics. It was really enviable that a handsome man would bring his girlfriend to buy a milkshake.

After leaving the milkshake store, Ava was in a dilemma. Where should she put the ginormous bucket? Although there was already a rope tied to the top of the bucket, it was not good to put a drink for Rose in the trunk.

“Should I carry it?” Ava suggested.

Frank refused and said. “Just put it in the trunk.”

Ava was speechless. She wondered if putting the bucket in the trunk was a good idea.

Frank stood at the trunk and texted his subordinate with one hand, “No news about me at the milkshake store should tomorrow.”

After sending the message, he put his phone away.
