Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

49

After Natalie left, Trevon was not in a good mood.

It was already past three in the morning when Trevon felt a little sleepy. He hugged her and fell asleep

in a daze. Now that he woke up at seven, he only had four hours of sleep.

Trevon propped himself up and wanted to send Natalie to the hospital, but she didn’t appreciate it at all.

At the thought of this, Trevon remembered the sweater from last night.

It was also because Natalie was in a hurry to go to work in the morning that Mary had prepared a new

set of clothes for her last night. Otherwise, Natalie would definitely have found her clothes lying on the

floor.

This woman was constantly drawing a line between herself and Trevon.

Trevon’s eyes were cold as he tidied his already meticulous suit and prepared to leave the Wilson’s

residence.

Theo could tell that Trevon was unhappy. He was secretly delighted. “How about having breakfast with

me? Why are you standing there like a statue?”

Reluctantly, Trevon followed Theo into the dining room.

Theo picked up the bowl and took a sip of nutritional soup. Then, he picked up another hotdog and ate

it slowly. Theo had no intention of saying anything to Trevon.

Trevon, on the other hand, ate tastelessly. After drinking a bowl of soup, he stopped eating.

Theo was in a good mood when he woke up early. He ate slowly. It was unusually delicious. After

eating, he crossed his arms and leaned against the back of the chair. He looked at Trevon and said,

“Tell me what your thoughts are now. Your marriage deadline with Natalie is about to expire. There are

less than two months left, right?”

Trevon pursed his lips and remained silent.

Theo looked at his silent grandson and ignored his feelings. Theo continued, “I have thought it through.

Since your marriage deadline is about to end and the two of you haven’t cultivated any feelings for

each other, as your mother said, a marriage without feelings is the grave of

14:37

love. Besides, it’s cold. So when your contract expires, and you want to

get a divorce, I won’t stop you. After all, feelings can’t be forced. Probably, you are not a good match.”

Trevon couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Then why didn’t Theo listen when he told him that they were not

a good match?

Seeing that Trevon continued to remain silent, Theo felt even happier. “Before Barron died, he

entrusted me with protecting Natalie for the rest of her life. I definitely have to fulfill my promise to him.

Moreover, our entire family has to keep this promise. Even if I die, you still have to fulfill it. Therefore,

I’ve thought about it again and again. After your divorce, Natalie will be alone. I can’t let Barron down. I

plan to wait for your divorce in two months and hold a banquet to let Natalie become one member of

our family as my granddaughter.”

This sentence successfully aroused the silent Trevon. It was as if someone had thrown a stone into a

calm lake. Trevon suddenly raised his head and carefully observed the expression of Theo. “Grandpa,

are you serious?”

Theo had a serious expression on his face. “What do you think? I’m already planning to hold a banquet

to take her as my granddaughter. Do you think I’m joking?”

Theo interrupted Trevon, who was about to say something. “Don’t think that I’m using this method to

provoke you. Let me tell you. I’ve already discussed this with Gage the day Barron passed away.”

Trevon objected. “Grandpa, do you think it’s appropriate for her to be your granddaughter?”

Theo lied in all seriousness, “What’s inappropriate about it? It’s a secret marriage between you two. No

one knows that you’re husband and wife. After your divorce, Natalie will be my granddaughter. The

quality of the husband I choose for her is comparable to yours. Don’t think that just because you don’t

like her or anyone else, no one would like her. Perhaps after the divorce, the people who were wooing

her could circle around Athana. With my granddaughter’s qualifications, she can be with any high–

quality man.”

Trevon had never been so passive before. He was rendered speechless and could not find any reason

to refute.

Gage, who was standing at the side serving them, added firewood and hurriedly said, “Yes, Mr. Trevon.

After Barron passed away that night, Mr.

14:33

Theo went to pay his respects. At that time, there were only Mrs. Natalie and two servants. The scene

was very cold. Seeing Mrs. Natalie alone. made our hearts ache, so that night, Mr. Theo made this

decision. He had long planned to acknowledge Mrs. Natalie as his granddaughter.”

Speaking of that night, Trevon recalled that his grandfather had called him. What did Trevon say at that

time? In any case, Trevon had rejected Theo quite bluntly. He did not even go to the funeral the next

day. Theo had asked Trevon to pick up Natalie. He had sent Jim to go.

Back then, Trevon wholeheartedly believed that Natalie was a scheming

woman.

No matter how Trevon looked at her, it was an eyesore.

Theo sighed and said, “That’s right. Natalie was taught very well by Barron. She’s kind and not greedy.

Moreover, she has good morals. For example, when I asked her to play chess with me yesterday,

ordinary girls would come up to me and suck up to me. However, she didn’t even let me repent and

even lectured me.”

This sentence successfully made Gage smile. “Mr. Theo, how many times did you cheat yesterday?

You deliberately probed Mrs. Natalie!”

Theo patted the butler beside him. “You’re smart. I was trying to see if Natalie would turn a blind eye,

suck up to me, or if she was loyal. However, I didn’t expect Natalie to be so stubborn and directly

expose

me.”

Trevon was extremely annoyed by their words. He picked up the phone. on the table and stood up.

“Grandpa, I’m going to the company.”

This time, Theo did not stop Trevon and shook his head helplessly.

Looking at Trevon’s back, Theo sighed again. “This child is outstanding in everything, but his EQ is

lacking. He doesn’t understand. He always feels that he can control everything and doesn’t allow

others to control him. His personality is too domineering. If he misses this opportunity, where can he

find a good wife like Natalie?”

Gage agreed with this point. “Mr. Theo, you have a discerning eye. Take it slow. Mr. Trevon will

understand. Weren’t you helping him just now? I think Mr. Trevon is interested in Mrs. Natalie.”

After Natalie left, Trevon’s expression turned gloomy.

Theo couldn’t stop smiling. “You are so cunning. Nothing can escape

14:38

Chapter 49 your eyes.”

At the entrance to the Athana Hospital.

The two of them met at the entrance. However, Natalie got out of the Wilson’s residence’s car, and

Sherri got out of the Landor family’s car.

The two of them looked at each other’s car. Natalie knew what Sherri was going to say. “Stop. I’ll

confess myself. You don’t have to imagine.”

“That’s more like it. Have you had breakfast yet? You still have 21 minutes.” Sherri raised her arm and

glanced at her white watch.

“Yes, I ate it in the car. It was prepared by Mr. Wilson. You don’t have to look at me with such suspicion.

It’s exactly what you think.”

Sherri followed Natalie as she saw that Natalie was going to the office. Sherri pulled Natalie back and

pulled her to the cafeteria. “Come and have breakfast with me.”

“Have you fired your nanny?” Sherri had to come to the hospital every day to eat or let Natalie take the

breakfast for her.

“I have been eating my nanny’s cooking since I was young. I’m tired of her food. I want to change my

taste every now and then.”

“You’re so picky.”

“Alright. I am picky, but so what?” Sherri ordered the signature breakfast in the hospital cafeteria and

pulled Natalie to sit down. As Sherri ate, she raised her chin and gestured for Natalie to start. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Last night, Mr. Wilson asked me to stay at the old residence. I was too embarrassed to refuse.

Coupled with the fact that Trevon helped me that night, I agreed. Then, in the morning, the Wilson

family’s driver sent me over. That’s all.”

Sherri was still unsatisfied. “That’s all? Natalie, are you joking? The two of you stayed in separate

rooms at the Wilson’s residence last night?”

Natalie did not believe that they could sleep in separate rooms when they stayed over at the Wilson

family. If they did, the others would definitely laugh at Trevon.

“That’s not it. We slept on the same bed, but we did nothing. You don’t have to imagine the rest.”

“You’re not joking, right? Are the two of you really adults? One is a

14:38

handsome man, and the other is a beautiful woman. Don’t tell me that when you slept in the same bed,

you chatted with the ceiling at night? Are the two of you sure you’re healthy? Do you want to check if

there’s any hidden illness in the afternoon?”

Natalie threw the tissue beside her hand at Sherri and glared at Sherri. “You’re the one who’s sick. I

told you long ago that he’s not interested in me. Moreover, he personally said that he was not

interested in me the day before yesterday.” Natalie enunciated the last sentence word by word, afraid

that Sherri could not hear her clearly.

“Tsk. Is Mr. Wilson blind? Or does he like men? He was so calm when such a beautiful woman was

lying beside him. I have reason to suspect that he likes men.”

Natalie gave Sherri a thumbs up. “You’re right. Please eat quickly. We’re going to be late.”
