Chapter 108
Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
Chapter 108 At 10 pm. Edward returned home to find the living room brightly lit, and Juana was busy in the kitchen.
Curious, Edward took off has coat and hung it on a rack before walking into the kitchen. âMom, what are you doing?â he asked Juana replied cheerfully. âIâm making some treats for Ruby. Iâm planning to make some powdered milk cookies. She can have them as snacks when she wakes up tomorrowâ
Edward, usually composed, almost couldnât hold back his surprise. âWho did you say?â
Juana paused her hands, looked up with a smile, and said to her son, âYou didnât know? Itâs Natalieâs twin children, the ones she brought to visit me this afternoon. They are so adorable. I wonder what children nowadays are eating. They are growing up so beautifully. Anyway, go to bed now. Iâll be done soon.â
Edward scratched the back of his neck awkwardly and prepared to go upstairs to find his sister. âMorn. Iâll go to bed first. Go to bed early after youâre done. Donât stay up too late.â
Edward felt somewhat guilty as he watched his mother enthusiastically work in the kitchen. The siblings had kept their secret from their mother.
Edward felt Sherri was probably still awake, so he sent her a message at the door, saying, âOpen the door.â
Within a minute, the door opened, and Sherri said, âEdwardâ
Edward glanced downstairs and sneakily entered the room. âWhy didnât you let me know before bringing Ruby home! Mom didnât notice, right?â
Sherri replied with a hint of pride in her tone, âNo, she didnât notice. Your niece is clever. She knows how to make Mom happy. Besides, Ruby doesnât look like me. Mom wouldnât suspect anything.â
Edward seized on a crucial point. âSo, do you know who the childâs father is?â
Caught off guard, Sherri panicked for a moment and almost slipped up âHow would I know? Ruby doesnât look like me, so she must resemble her dad. Who else could it be?â
Well, that logic was flawless, and Edward couldnât argue with it. After all, the child didnât look like an alien.
Edward suddenly made a threat. âYou better not be lying to me.â
To cover up her unease, Sherri hurriedly urged her brother, âOh, come on, go back to your room. Take a shower and go to sleep. Iâm exhausted. And I have to wake up early for work tomorrow.â
After being pushed towards the door, Edward turned around and said, âTomorrow, Iâll find a professional nanny for you The housemaids arenât that skilledâ
âOkay, okay, thank you.â
After closing the door, Sherri leaned against it, patting her chest in relief. That was a close call.
If her brother found out that Rubyâs father was Hackett, she would be in big trouble. Their mother would be ecstatic, though. Sherri couldnât understand how their mother could be so infatuated with Hackett, who only had a face that appealed to people of all ages and genders.
The next day. Natalie sneakily went to work while Jasper was still asleep. The little guy had been quite restless last night, insisting on having Ruby back home. No matter how Natalie tried to appease him, he couldnât be calmed down. It was probably because Jasper stayed up too late and cried until he was exhausted. Now he was peacefully sleeping The two little ones had never been apart since birth. They are and lived together, using the same brand of formula and bottles. Except for diapers and clothes, everything else was almost identical.
The adults would develop feelings naturally after spending a long time together, let alone children. It was natural that Jasper was attached to Ruby.
As Natalie walked downstairs, she received a text message on her phone from Ava. Each word was filled with excitement. The message said. Sis, are you at work? Dad promised me I donât have to wait until summer vacation to come to Athana. I can come during the Memorial Day holiday. Just over a month left! Iâm so happy and excited! Rose said she would come back with us 100.]
Natalie smiled and replied to the message while walking Okay, Iâm waiting for you. When youâre here, Iâll take you around the entire Athana. But remember, you have to study hard too.)
âOh...â Natalie bumped into something, and when she looked up, she saw a solid chest.
She raised her head, and the cold and stern facial features she hadnât seen in a long time entered her line of sight. It only took a few seconds for her to quickly regain her composure. âSorry, I wasnât paying attention.â She was referring to the fact that the bumped into Trevon.
Trevonâs eyes were fixated on her without blinking. She had gained a Hule weight, and her skin had become even
had been two years since they last saw each other, and her waist appeared even more delicate under a simple blue shirt. Her little face was still so exquisite His first instinct was to hug her....
Natalie had no idea what Trevon was thinking. Seeing that he did not respond, she didnât bother to continue engaging with him. She lifted her leg and walked forward, preparing to get into her car.
A deep voice came from belund her Tve been looking for you.â
Natalie paused and turned around. âWhat?â she asked.
Trevon pursed his lips for a moment. âAre you... doing well?â he asked.
Natalie shook her car keys in her hand. Tm doing just fine. Mr. Wilson, you donât have to concern about me. Goodbye.â
She didnât hate Trevon. During that month, he simply didnât like her, which was understandable since their marriage had been forced upon them. It was normal not to have feelings for someone in such a situation. The only thing she couldnât let go of was the fact that Mia had drugged her, and he knew about it but didnât say anything. Instead, he handed the evidence to Mia, treating her like a fool.
As for everything else, whether he had a child with Mia or any rumors surrounding them, it was his own business and had nothing to do with her.
Sitting in her car, Natalie felt a lingering fear. She hadnât expected Trevon to be in this neighborhood. Her uncle had hidden her information well, and there was no way he could have found out about the altered birthdate of Jasper. Plus, Jasper was born in the Turner familyâs hospital, making it even less likely to be leaked.
Still, she wasnât entirely at ease. Just to be safe, she called Lena and instructed her to be cautious when taking Jasper downstairs to play, making sure not to let anything slip. After confirming everything was in order, she drove away.
Coincidentally, or perhaps not, they encountered Trevon.
âOh, my little darling, slow down. Did you hurt yourself? Let me take a look,â Lena said worriedly as she saw Jasper excitedly run downstairs and fall At the same time. Jenny, who had just come downstairs, saw the little one fall and hurried over to check on him. She inspected every part of Jasperâs body and breathed a sigh of relief when she found no injuries. âDid it hurt, Jasper?â
Jasper did not cry at all. Instead, he smiled at the two maids and replied, âNot at all.â
âOur little Jasper is so brave. You shouldnât run so fast now. If you fall, Mommy will be worried when she comes back,â Lena said.
Jasper obediently nodded and then turned around to play.
As the little one ran too fast, he collided head-on with Trevon, who was leaving. Trevonâs face turned unpleasant. He did not know why he kept getting bumped into by other people today.
Perhaps it hurt from the collision, as Jasperâs eyes welled up with tears. However, his mother had taught him that boys shouldnât easily cry, so he fought back the tears, refusing to let them fall.
His adorable appearance touched Trevonâs heart, and his expression softened slightly.
Jenny and Lena saw that Jasper had bumped into Trevon. They were afraid since Trevonâs appearance seemed hard to approach, and they were worried he might scold Jasper. So, before he could get angry, Jenny apologized, âSir, Iâm sorry. We didnât keep an eye on the child. Please forgive us for our oversight.â
Trevonâs face grew even more unpleasant. Did he look like someone who would be petty and hold grudges against a little child?
Seeing Trevonâs silence, the maids became even more at a loss, thinking he was going to make a fuss.
Ignoring their thoughts, Trevon was drawn to the teary-eyed little child desperately holding back his tears. He slowly squatted down and said, âIf you want to cry, just cry. Why hold it in?â
Unexpectedly, Jasper still refused to cry. He kept holding it in and even gave the man a stern look. This made Trevon find it a bit amusing. âLittle one, you bumped into me, and youâre still acting like youâre right. Canât you apologize?â
Jenny quickly interjected, âSir, weâre really sorry. Heâs still young and doesnât know many words...â
Trevon automatically filtered out the maidâs words and kept his gaze fixed on the child. He felt there was something familiar in the childâs eyes as if they resembled someone.
Jum happened to witness this Incredible scene as he entered the neighborhoodâs gate. Trevon was half-squatting on the ground, chatting with a child.
He promptly took out his phone and snapped a photo of the scene, sending it to Terrell with the caption, (Does this give you a creepy feeling?l Terrell replied, [Boring. Iâm busy.)
Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
ï¤Chapter 107 My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise Jim disregarded Terrellâs response and shared the photo anyway in the spirit of âsharing is caring.â
As he approached. Jim realized something was amiss. Werenât these two maids from the Foster familyâs residence? His exceptional memory reminded him that he had seen them when he went to pick up Natalie. How could they be here?
And who was this little child? He called out, âMr. Wilson.â
Hearing this, Trevon stood up, tidied his clothes, and rubbed the little childâs head.
Jasper did not like strangers touching his hair. He puffed up his cheeks like a pufferfish and angrily slapped the manâs broad palm away.
âDaddy Ed,â Jasper said with a low voice, as if feeling wronged.
It startled both Jenny and Lena. Although Trevon was surprised by the childâs assertiveness, he couldnât help but smile.
But in a split second, he noticed something was off and was about to inquire further when the two maids quickly apologized and left with the child in their arms.
Daddy Ed? Trevonâs eyes narrowed, and a complex emotion flickered in their depths.
Jim sensed that Trevonâs behavior was unusual, but he still shared what he knew. âMr. Wilson, do you know that little boy who just left?â
Trevon immediately returned to his usual cold demeanor. âHow would I know him?â
Jim replied, âWerenât you just happily talking to him? Why are you smiling if you donât know him?
âThe two who just left are maids from the Foster familyâs residence, the ones you asked me to investigate before.â
Trevon glared at him. âWhy didnât you include the photos of those two maids in the file? Your efficiency is getting worse.â
Jim found himself being wrongly accused. He didnât understand why he should include the photos of the two maids.
