Jentry suddenly realized her recent illness and thought, âWould you be able to handle taking Jasper out? Heâs quite a harviful How about Far company your Natalie tuled gratefully. Jentry, Im not so fragile Look, Iâm already feeling better Iâm going to Sherri Landorâs house this afternoon As she said this, Natalie twirled around in front of Jenny, demon roved condition.
Upon hearing that it involved Miss Landor. Jenny no longer insisted, âAlright then, just take care of yourselfâ
Natalie was rikay with Jennyâs caring reminders She understood that people who truly cared would always offer their concerns before oneâs departure, fearing any possible mishaps. âOkay. I understand With erris unuation settled and Juana no particularly upset, Natalie felt a sense of relief. Strangely enough, she didnât feel overly worried about Hackettâs uation. As she descended the stairs, she cathe to a sudden halt, her eyes widening in astonishment In the play area of a distant revidential complex, a man stood beneath the monkey bars, his sleek black suit accentuated by the warm golden rays of sunlight With a hint of a smile gracing his otherwise stern countenance, he stood tall and composed, his strong arms effortlessly supporting a child who ragerly clung to the bars Every movement he made was deliberate an! utious, ready to protect and assist immediately The chuld zoggled and separated with delight, clearly familiar with this playful routine. The sight before her was something she had never expected to witness An inglese ribable pang of bittersweet emotions flooded her heart, leaving her torn and conflicted. She leaned against the nearby wall, taking a moment to compone herself. After a deep breath and a few minutes of contemplation, she straightened her pesture and released a sigh as if resolving something within.
As she drew closer, the manâs gaze shafted towards her, has suspended movement coming to a halt. Even the child turned to glance at the man, ratching sight of Natalie Excitedly, the child began to wiggle and dance, calling out, âMommy, Motary Gently, the man set Jasper down, has intention to walk toward Natalie evident. However, as soon as Jasper laid eyes on Natalie heurkly disregarded the man, peishing ham away swiftly Natalie observed the manâs empty hands, a sense of enginess echoing within her heart.
Without acknowledging him or questioning his presence with Jasper, Natalie focused on lifting Jasper off the ground. Softly and tenderly, the inspired, âAre you tired from playing? Feeling warm?â
In a sweet and innocent voice, Jasper responded, âNot warm. Mommy, this is my good friend.â
Natalie narrowed her eyes, her brows furrowing in confusion. âWhat do you mean by good friend?*
Lena couldnât help but smile âMiss Natalie, let me explain. This gentleman here is the same person whom Jasper accidentally bumped into earlier.
Today, he bought a toy to apologize to Jasper, and Jasper graciously accepted it. They
Natalie was speechless. Have I seen him before? Was his interaction with Jasper merely a façade?
He didnât approach her too closely, maintaining his position while his gaze remained fixated on her face. His expression was inscrutable, concealing any hints of emotion, but there was a subtle softness in his eyes that hadnât been there before.
It was as if he could decipher her thoughts. In a soft-spoken voice, he reassured her. âMy pursuit of you has nothing to do with Jasper.â
Lena pondered, âWhat did I just hear? Is this gentleman pursuing Miss Natalie?â
Miss Natalie was not only beautiful but also kind-hearted. It wasnât uncommon for suitors to pursue her, even back in Sapphire City. However, this gentleman exuded undeniable charm and sophistication, hinting at his affluent background.
Lenaâs mind was already spinning with countless scenarios, and Trevonâs question nearly made her dizzy.
Natalie picked up on his attempt to explain that his pursuit wasnât solely because of Jasper but because of her. With at dismissive tone, she responded, âItâs not relevant to me.â
Trevonâs gaze darkened, a hint of disappointment creeping into his eyes. Nevertheless, he persisted and wanted to ask her directly. âWhat about the child...?â
She swiftly intercepted his words, her voice firm, âMy personal life is not as chaotic as you might think. However, the child has no connection to you. If there is any connection, it is merely biological. I seek a committed father for my child, but I am not unreasonable. 1 cannot change the fact that you are Jasperâs biological father. So, I wonât deny you the opportunity to be a part of his life. That is my greatest compromise. But if you intend to contest custody, be prepared for a fierce battle. I hope it doesnât come to that, but I wonât back down if you insist.â
Natalieâs most significant fear now was that Trevon would use the custody battle to pressure her into compromising. Rather than hiding or evading, she decided to confront the situation head-on. When her uncle suggested changing the date, she had initially argued against it. She knew full well that with Trevonâs power and influence, he would quickly uncover information about Jasper if he genuinely wanted to. However, her uncle and the others ultimately decided to proceed with the change, showing their respect for her by reframing from prying into Jasperâs paternity.
As long as she didnât explicitly reveal it, her uncle and the others rarely probed further, displaying their deep respect for her boundaries.
Trevon was infuriated yet impressed by this womanâs ability to leave him seething with just a few words. He recalled telling her that his personal life wasnât as chaotic, and now she had cleverly turned his words against him.
Gritting his teeth, he suppressed his inner turmoil and asked, âIs that how you see me?â
Natalie handed Jasper over to Lena and instructed, âLena, please take Jasper upstairs for now. Iâll join you shortly.â
Lena took the child from Natalie, her mind still reeling from the revelation, and she watched Natalie with concern as she ascended the stairs, glancing back multiple times.
Natalie straightened her back and met his visibly colder gaze as she spoke softly, âSo youâre saying you have no intention of contesting custody with me?â
âI have never stated that I want to engage in a custody battle with you. Even if I discovered that Jasper is my child, I have no desire to separate him from youâ Because I want both you and our son, why would I want to tear them apart?
Natalie had a hint of skepticism in her eyes, searching for the truth. âAre you being sincere?â She preferred a peaceful resolution, but if necessary, she would have her uncle confront him. She would not compromise when it came to their child.
âI speak only the truth. You can dismiss anything I said two years ago, but every word I have spoken to you since your return has been genuine. My pursuit of you was sincere, and now my decision not to fight you for Jasper is also sincere. You can trust me on that,â
Natalie said, âIf you mean what you say, thatâs all I ask for. No need to mix in a confession of feelings as if it changes anything. Are you out of your mind?â

After all, youâre Mr. Wilson, a prominent figure in Athana.â Natalie wanted to discourage him from trying to take Jasper away from her.
However, Trevonâs perspective on the matter was different. He felt a sense of joy in his expression as he replied, âL, Trevon, always keep my promises. His words were spoken with sincerity and determination.
The language was an expansive and intricate realm where each individualâs capacity for understanding varied. The Interpretation of a single sentence could diverge significantly depending on the individual. In this case, their perspectives were entirely out of sync.
As he gazed at her retreating figure, he couldnât help but notice how stunning she looked today. It had been years since they last saw each other, and her sense of style had transformed remarkably. She adorned herself in a charming milky-colored floral dress layered with a vibrant grass-green suit jacket. Completing her ensemble was a pair of elegant milky-colored high-heeled shoes. She emanated an air of grace and femininity. How had he failed to recognize her striking beauty all these years?
Trevon couldnât help but admit that she was growing more stunning by the day, defying the natural process of aging
