Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

As Stella walked and ate, her mouth had never been shut since she entered the night market. Then there were Olivia and Liam, Jasper and Ruby ate the least.

Not far away, a foreigner was selling cartoon ice cream. The finished products in the children's hands were lifelike and looked very cute.

They were attracted and stopped in front of the stall to watch the foreigners make ice cream. Their movements were smooth and fluid. In a few minutes, a small animal's ice cream was finished.

Olivia took it with satisfaction. With an infectious smile on her face, she couldn't help but praise, "It's so beautiful." As a tourism expert, Stella began to praise herself. "How bad can the place | found be? | usually make guides a month in advance. If it's not fun, it won't attract me." Ruby was also tempted. She wanted to have one too, but she was afraid that it would be too icy. She wanted to tell Liam to let her take a bite, but her brother finished the ice cream in two bites. Because he ate too quickly, his throat was so cold that he was jumping on the spot like a child who had not grown up.

Ruby was speechless.

Her actions were seen by Jasper, who was standing at the side and watching her. He said to the stall owner in Arillion, "Givea bunny." Olivia licked the puppy's ears happily and carefully, as if she could not bear to eat it. She looked up at her brother. Didn't her brother never eat this thing? "Jasper, | thought you didn't like ice cream." It was still the ssentence. "I have to try it since I'm here." There was nothing wrong with what he said. Stella, who had already finished her ice cream and was looking for the next snack, agreed with Jasper's words very much. She could not help but pat his shoulder. "Jasper's idea is right. Try it so that this trip will not be in vain. | found that that thing is also very delicious. Do you want to eat it?" Olivia and Liam were brought to the front of another stall by Stella. Liam had long forgotten about Hackett's words. Now, he might not even know who his father was.

In front of the stall, only Jasper was left waiting for ice cream. Ruby also silently felt that she could not move her feet. He looked at her and smiled.

She wouldn't grow up.

After a while, the ice cream was ready. Jasper took a step forward and reached out to take it. He then asked the shopkeeper for stissues to wrap the shell at the bottom to prevent it from melting. Ruby quietly watched him do all of this. The twere peaceful. He did not need to say anything, but it was as if he had expressed everything.

He took her hand and stuffed the ice cream into her hand. She glanced at him and he saw her giggle foolishly. He said, "Didn't you want to eat it?" She lowered her gaze and looked at the cute rabbit ice cream in her hand. She was in a dilemma. Just as she raised her head and parted her lips, Jasper knew what she was thinking. It was as if he could read her mind. He could read her thoughts from the dilemma in her eyes. "If you can't finish it, give it to me." Ruby nodded beside him and took a small bite of the ice cream. It was smooth, sweet, and delicious. Her taste buds were filled with coldness. The ice cream was cold, but her heart was warm. She was naturally shy. At this moment, her ears were dyed red and she did not dare to look up again.

Jasper thought, 'What should you do in the future if you are so shy?* The bodyguards behind them discussed softly. While earning money, they could also learn sdating skills. It was not a loss. "Oh my god, | watched them all the way. We'll chase girls like this in the future." The other one said, "So they're a couple?" "If you ask me, who should | ask? Be content with lessons for free." "That makes sense. We can get a love manual while working. Amazing." Just as Ruby was eating with relish, the ice cream in her hand was suddenly taken away. Her hand was empty.

She looked up at him in confusion. He protected her and pulled her to the other side. "You ate too much." "Oh." She pouted and wanted to eat more. She glanced at it and saw a red point on the ice cream. It was a red dot from lipstick. Just as she was about to remind him, Jasper ate it as if he could not see it.

This made Ruby even more embarrassed. She could only lower her head and pretend not to see it. Her face also began to turn red. She exhaled and looked away, trying not to look at him.

She had the illusion that Jasper's actions at night were unintentionally flirting her.

Stella heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the two of them walking over. The feeling of bringing a group of children out was that she was worried when they were playing. She would always turn around from tto tto count them, like a tour guide leading a team. "Why are you here now? | thought you were lost. | even wanted to ask Liam to look for you. Try this." Olivia saw that her brother was really eating ice cream, and it was even a rabbit. She looked at it with a smile and felt that her brother was starting to be a little childish tonight.

Jasper raised the ice cream in his hand and said honestly, "It'll take stto wait for this." The few of them expressed their understanding. After all, they had waited for a long tjust now. Good things were worth waiting for.

Ruby was attracted by the phone line ball in front of her and temporarily forgot about the scene just now. She stared at it without blinking and said gently, "This ball is so creative when connected." Stella, who had made the guide, said, "If | say that eating this ball together means that you are connected, will you eat it?" Olivia said, "Why not? It's just a snack. If a couple chere, they wouldn't break up if they didn't eat this ball, right?" It was rare for Liam to be on the schannel as Olivia. "I agree. Ruby, let's eat together." Stella smiled as she looked at the amusing children. Actually, she thought so too. However, she was a senior.

There were sthings that she had to hide and not lead them astray. "Your pretty auntie wants to eat alone.

You guys can arrange it yourselves." In the end, the few of them bought three sets. When Olivia and Liam finished eating a small ball, they completely forgot that it was a ball with a phone line. They only remembered that it tasted good and completely forgot that it needed to be shared.

Olivia bit on the rice ball. "Jasper, buy another serving. This is too delicious. | won't split it with you." There was no surprise on Jasper's face. It was as if he had expected this. Seeing that his sister was eating non- stop, he reminded her, "Eat less. There's more in front." "Yes, | know. I'll only eat these two. | won't buy any more after I'm done." Liam finished eating before saying to his sister, "Ruby, I'll buy you another serving. | accidentally finished it." Ruby was speechless.

Jasper suddenly liked Liam. He patted Liam's shoulder and said, "Go ahead and see if there's anything to eat.

Call us if there's anything delicious." When Stella brought the two of them to look for other snacks, Jasper bought a new rice ball and handed it to Ruby for her to eat first. She poked a rice ball with a skewer with his hand and stuffed it into her mouth. She took a small bite and stood rooted to the ground.

The bodyguard was speechless.

She ate very slowly and always took small bites. Others could finish a rice ball in two bites. Ruby might need four bites. She always chewed a few more bites than others. He did not urge her and waited quietly for her to finish eating. He would be happy to see her eat.

A few minutes later, she was done. She pushed the box toward him. "You eat. I'm done." Jasper said faintly, "Okay." All night, three people took the lead in the front, two followed behind, and the bodyguards protected them from behind.

In a room on the 30th floor of a five-star hotel in Mosuland.

Olivia and Ruby had already showered and changed into their pajamas.

Ruby, who was sitting on the bed and reading, felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach. She lifted the blanket and got out of bed. She walked to the bathroom and cout after a while. She took something from her suitcase and went in.

"Ruby, you're on your period?" The voice of Ruby cfrom the toilet. She frowned and replied, "Yes." "Are you feeling unwell?" Olivia leaned against the door and asked with concern.

Not wanting to dampen her spirits, she replied, "No." After a while, Ruby cout with a smile. "What are you guys going to do later?" Olivia showed her phone. "There, Liam invited us to play cards. He said he wanted to cto our room to play." The carefree Olivia had a meticulous heart. "Ruby, since you're on your period, you should sleep. We're going to camp on the island tomorrow to watch the sunrise. If you don't rest well, you'll be left behind tomorrow. Anyway, we're not going out to play. It's fine if we don't play cards. We'll go to Liam's room and play. He sleeps alone anyway." Forget about her brother's room. If she messed up her brother's room, her brother would definitely chase her out.

It's the first to eliminate.

Ruby's waist was indeed starting to ache, from her waist to her bones. It was not very comfortable and she did not want to force herself. "Alright, I'll sleep for a while. Take the room card. | might fall asleep later." "Okay." Olivia obediently put the room card into her pocket. In fact, she, Sophia and her brother did not need the room card. They could open the hotel's lock without any effort.

However, it was not appropriate to pry open the door openly. It was better to take the normal route and bring the room card.

Trevon had taught all his skills to the three children. He had even taught them how to pick locks. However, when he taught them, he also made the three children promise not to use this technology to do anything illegal. They could only use it for self-defense in case of accidents.

The three children wrote a note before Trevon taught them.

When Olivia opened the door, Liam and Stella were already standing at the door in their pajamas. Just as they were about to knock, the door opened. Before anyone could ask, Olivia made the arrangements first. "Go to your room. Ruby is a little tired and wants to sleep. We shouldn't disturb her." Liam asked, "Is my sister unwell?" As he spoke, he planned to go in and take a look. Before he left, his father had instructed him to take good care of his sister. If something happened to his sister, he probably wouldn't be able to go back home.

Olivia pulled Liam back. "Don't ask about women. It's nothing. She is just tired. Let's go. Whoever loses tonight will treat supper." Ruby never stayed up late. Liam naturally thought that his sister was just tired and wanted to sleep. She maintained her biological clock. Not to be outdone, Liam said, "Alright, I've never lost a card game. Do you think you're a hrun that you can win anything?" When it cto women, Stella didn't ask further and naturally understood.

When they arrived at Liam's room, the few of them sat down on the carpet. Liam couldn't wait to show off his skills. He tore open the packaging and film of the poker cards. "Where's Jasper? Send a message. The four of us can play double." Upon hearing this, Olivia began to send messages. Those with outstanding results rarely spoke nonsense. They always grabbed the main point and said, "room, cto Liam's room and play cards. Ruby is sleeping in her room. We're short of one out of three. Hurry." With just one sentence, she explained everything. It didn't take much effort to communicate. It saved time, effort, and web traffic. She didn't even need Jasper to ask why it was in Liam's room.
