Chapter 208
Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
Chapter 208 Joseph waited for a while.
Then he said gently, âCome in and take a seat. You shouldnât be scared to say anything to me. Did Ava attack someoneâs computer again last night?
You donât have to hide it from me. I could tell from her eyes.â
He deliberately used Avaâs matter to ease the tension.
As expected, Natalie smiled awkwardly and scratched her neck in embarrassment. âShe just played around. She didnât do anything major.â
Joseph brought Natalie into the room. Then, he went to pour a cup of hot water for her to warm up. âTell me. Weâre a family and thereâs nothing that needs to be thought through before you can say it.â
Natalie sat down on the sofa with a glass of water in her handl. She took a deep breath and said, âI want to tell you about Jasperâs father.â
Joseph pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses he had just put on, adding a hint of elegance to his handsome features. He looked very comfortable and easy to approach. He crossed his legs and smiled slightly. âIs it Mr. Wilson of Athana, Trevon Wilson?â
After knowing that Trevon had been to Sapphire City 175 times without being able to see Natalie, she had guessed that Joseph would find out.
However, she was still a little shocked to hear it with her own ears. âJoseph, when did you find out?â
Joseph looked up as if he was thinking. âThe second week after I learned that youâre my cousin.â
Yes. Joseph was right. At that time, the entire family was very excited to find Natalie. They carefully protected her, afraid that their excitement would scare her away. At that time, Natalie had not opened up fully to them, nor did she tell them about her pregnancy immediately.
The second week after they met, Natalie felt a little nauseous. Emma discovered this and found out that she was pregnant.
Natalie didnât expect it to be so early. It had been more than two years now, but Joseph and the others hadnât ever asked about Jasperâs father.
Back in Sapphire City, Emma and the others had taken good care of her and Sherri when they found out they were pregnant. They even went to Athana just to bring her two nannies.
They were afraid that Natalie would not be used to it and feel uncomfortable.
However, they had never asked about Trevon.
Joseph adjusted his glasses again and put his legs down. He sat up straight and said slowly, âNatalie, I wonât ask as long as you donât bring it up. You have your own considerations. Whether itâs me or your uncle, we canât interfere with you. However, if anyone wants to marry you, they have to get our familyâs approval first.
âWhether itâs Ava or you, we can give you financial support even if you donât want to get married. If you do love someone, I wonât stop you either However, thereâs a prerequisite. He has to show us his sincerity in marrying you. The daughter of the Tuerner family has the ability to pick and choose, understand?â
The walls Natalie put up around her heart broke down again, Joseph had always doted on her so much that he had no bottom line. Natalie had cried too much today and was extremely touched too. âI understand now,â she said, voice nasally from the crying Joseph sat beside her and patted her head. He handed her a tissue. âYouâre dating him.â It was a statement, not a question.
Natalie didnât hide it anymore and nodded.
Joseph recalled that the bodyguard had said that Trevon had bought a helmet a few days ago. It seemed that he was quite generous with money. âIf he has any bad habits, donât spoil him. You have the Turner family behind you. You donât have to suffer in any way.â
The relationship was Natalieâs own. Since they were already together, it meant that Natalie had a special part of her heart for Trevon Joseph couldnât forcefully break them up. He wouldnât make things difficult for Natalie either, since Trevon was Jasperâs biological father, after all. However, things couldnât be settled so easily.
Natalie wanted to verify the 173 visits. Although her grandpa and Hackett both said so, she still wanted to hear it from Joseph. âDid Trevon visit Sapphire City to look for me?â she asked.
Joseph knew that his sister would find out sooner or later. Trevon had been quite punctual every month. His perseverance was not bad either. He had persisted for more than two years. This was one of the reasons why Joseph did not make things difficult for him.
He admitted truthfully, âYes, he did, but I stopped him.â
At least it could be seen that Trevon cared about Natalie too.
Natalie understood. She didnât blame Joseph and she had to thank him instead.
âAre you mad at me!â Josephs asked.
Natalie immediately shook her head. âItâs not your fault. I have to thank Then, she smiled at Joseph.
They chatted for another ten minutes in Josephâs room. When Natalie came out, she was refreshed. She had opened up completely and now, she felt extremely carefree. She had finally let go of the matter that she had been suppressing for so long.
When she returned to her room, Ava, Jasper, and Ruby were playing games. Avaâs laugh would stream out from time to time.
Sherri heard the door open and quietly walked to the living room. âDonât tell me you went to confess to Joseph.
âYes, youâre right.â
Sherri was worried and curious at the same time. âHow was it? Does Joseph accept Trevon?â
Natalie thought back to Josephâs words. As she changed into the hotel slippers, she said, âI donât think so. Joseph said that the Turner familyâs daughter is not so easy to marry. Trevon needs to show her sincerity.â
Sherri kept shaking her head. âTsk, sk, 1sk. Maybe I should show Trevon some sympathy. It wonât be easy for him to remarry you.â
If Trevon couldnât handle his brother-in-law, he probably wouldnât be able to remarry Natalie.
Later, they went down to the restaurant.
At the dining table, Daniel smiled and said, âNatalie, I will head back tomorrow.â
Natalieâs hand paused in the air. Didnât you say that you would stay for a few more days?â she asked in confusion. âI havenât brought you guys out to sightsee yet.â
This made Ava anxious too. She put down her fork and said, âDad, you lied to me again! You clearly told me to stay in Athana for half a month. Itâs only the second day today. Iâve already arranged the rest of my classes. Youâre very annoying.
like this.â
Not only Natalie but even Sherri was surprised. This decision was a little sudden.
Emma patted her husbandâs hand and looked at her angry daughter. She explained, âDaddy didnât ask you to go back. We would never go back on our word. Mommy and Daddy will go back first. There has to be someone at the company. Joseph will accompany you here.â
When Ava heard this, her darkened eyes instantly lit up again. She nodded furiously, and her previously pouting lips had already curved into a smile.
Natalie was still reluctant to let her uncle and aunt leave.
However, the Turner Group was a large company. It was fine to not have a main decision-maker for a day, but it was indeed impossible for him to be gone for half a month. Natalie tried to persuade him to stay for a few more days. âUncle Daniel, canât you stay for a few more days?â
Danielâs main purpose for coming this time was to see his sisterâs grave. The most important thing had already been done, so the rest was left to Joseph. âNext time, I will arrange everything in advance and come over to stay for an extended periodâ Since his uncle had already said so, Natalie could not keep nagging him. âAlright, Iâll send you to the airport tomorrow.â âThereâs no need to send us off. Einma said, refusing. Jasper and Ruby both need to sleep, so donât bother. Itâs not like you wonât see us again. We can come over anytime we wantâ
âDonât worry, Iâll see them off tomorrow,â Joseph said.
After dinner, Natalie asked Ethan for the car key. Since Ethan drove the car on the way here, it was naturally at his place.
She went to the Athana specialty mall and bought a lot of things.
Emma and Daniel came to Natalieâs room to give final instructions to Ava. The couple stood at the door and rang the doorbell.
It was Ava who opened the door. She skipped over and tilted her head. âDaddy, Mommy.â
Emina pinched her daughterâs face dotingly. She looked around and asked, âWhereâs Natalie! Has she gone out?â
Ava kept nodding. âNatalie said that there are many specialties here that are especially delicious. She went to pick some for you to try Emma was touched. âShe didnât even tell us,â she complained good-naturedly. âWhy does she rush around so much?â
Daniel nodded in agreement. âNatalie is a meticulous child. Youâre obviously very happy.â
Emma said gently, âHow can I not be happy? I just feel bad that this child has to run out so late at nightâ
âDonât worry, someone is following her,â Daniel said. âNatalie is an adult too. She has her own ideas.â

After he said that, Jasper cooperated and kissed Danielâs left cheek.
Ava also wanted a kiss. âAunt Ava too. Jasper, hurry up and kiss Aunt Ava.â
There was another smooching sound. Soon, the entire suite was filled with smooches. There was Jasper kissing Ava, Ava kissing Jasper and Ruby, and Emma kissing Jasper. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious, with a hint of reluctance.
