Chapter 23
Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
Chapter 23 Although the rain wasnât heavy, it fell lightly on her, giving her a slight chill.
On the busy street, people hurriedly walked by, some without umbrellas, running quickly in the rain, perhaps trying to avoid the impending downpour.
The traffic jam was very common in Athana, and the drizzle only made it worse.
Fortunately, her vehicle wasnât a four-wheeler and could move through. the streets and alleys.
Looking up, Natalie saw dark clouds dominating another corner of the sky. Trying to escape the rain, she darted in and out of the gaps between. cars, like a running rabbit. The flow of vehicles somewhat limited her speed.
âMr. Wilson, itâs Mrs. Wilson,â said Jim. Trevon finished work early this evening. Frank and Hackett had come to look for him this afternoon, so he had no intention of going out again.
Jim, with sharp eyesight, immediately noticed the motorbike weaving through the traffic. The license plate was still fresh in his memory.
Trevon paused from flipping through the files, raised his gaze toward the window, and saw the woman riding on a motorbike continuously darting between the vehicles, her movements agile. It was clear that she was always like this.
However, seeing her getting wet in the rain without a raincoat furrowed Trevonâs brow. He lightly parted his lips and instructed Jim, âGo and buy a better raincoat for her tomorrow and tell her it was you who bought it.â
Trevonâs words shocked Jim, who couldnât help but observe Trevonâs expression through the rearview mirror.
Jim saw an expressionless face, as if it was just a random remark.
âDid I misunderstand it?â Jim wondered. âIs Mr. Wilson starting to fall for Mrs. Wilson?â
However, Jim had confidence in Natalie. He believed that she would definitely be able to make Trevon fall in love with her, without a doubt.
Thinking about it, Jim felt extremely happy. After all, once he saw how Chapter 23 Trevon tried to pursue his wife, he could quietly make money by sharing those happy moments he had seen with Terrell. âHappiness shared is happiness doubled,â he murmured inwardly. âYes, this is a profitable project!â
The car stopped at Adare Manor, and Jim was still in a cheerful mood.
Trevon lifted his dim and unclear gaze, looking toward the bright and spacious living room of the villa. âWhy are you looking so happy and foolish?â
Jim, who was interrupted by Trevon, was momentarily stunned. âItâs nothing.â
Trevon gave him a disdainful look. âGo buy a raincoat now.â
âHuh?â Jim couldnât believe what he had heard.
âOh, Mr. Wilson,â he thought, âweâre already home. Why do you want to buy a raincoat? What were you doing just now? Itâs not going to rain.
tomorrow. Why are you in such a hurry?â
However, Jim had no other choice. Under the pressure of his boss, he had to start the engine again.
Inside the kitchen at Adare Manor, Natalie was feeling a bit hungry. She was rummaging through the fridge for food, not realizing that she had forgotten to restock recently as she was busy.
The fridge was empty. There was nothing inside, not even vegetables or eggs.
However, her stomach was growling with hunger. She had thought about taking a shower because she got drenched. But then she realized that after cooking, she would be covered in oil fumes and have to take a shower again. Therefore, she decided to eat first and then shower. Suddenly, she remembered that there was a durian in the kitchen.
To eat or not to eat? That was the question. Natalie remembered the next night after getting married, she was eating durian, and Trevon handed her a premarital agreement with a disgusted expression on his face.
âHe probably wonât be back so early, Natalie thought. âItâs not even 9 oâclock yet.
Choosing between starving to death and being scolded, Natalie decided to stick to her principle of not starving to death.
(Zapter 21 After making up her mind, she decisively took out the durian.
Ten minutes later, the durian was opened. Before long, a plate of incredibly pungent durian flesh was ready.
Natalie carried it into the dining room and lowered her head to smell it with satisfaction. âWow, it smells amazing. I havenât had it for a long time. Itâs all because of that pretentious guy. I canât enjoy it to the fullest.â
Natalie took a bite and felt incredibly satisfied. Just as she was about to take the fifth bite, there was a click. Her hand holding the spoon froze, and she felt a sense of unease. Doing something secretly always made her feel lacking in confidence. âOh no,â she murmured, âI have just started eating!
Why does he come back so early today?â
spray Natalie, who was originally planning to open the windows and some perfume after finishing her meal, so that the smell would dissipate. by the time Trevon came back in the middle of the night. Little did she know that he had come back now and caught her in the act.
As soon as Trevon stepped into the house, he was overwhelmed by a foul smell, causing his brows to furrow. He covered his mouth with one hand.
He scolded her in the direction of the dining room, âAre you eating that again?â
Natalie felt uneasy in her heart, as she was living in someone elseâs house. âThe fridge is empty, so I thought it would be convenient to eat this.â
Trevon stared at Natalie for a while, not answering, and went straight to open all the windows, leaving the door open as well. After completing all.
these, he stood in front of her and condescendingly said, âDonât eat that kind of stuff at home next time. Donât you feel like youâre standing in a dung hole?â
Natalie was speechless. âDung hole?â she asked inwardly. âDung hole my ass. Youâre the one standing in a dung hole! Why didnât you just say I was eating shit?â
Trevon saw the dissatisfaction in her eyes and asked, âCan you do it?â
âI can do it!â said Natalie before thinking, âNext time, Iâll find the smelliest thing to eat, and it will stink you to death!â
Just as Trevon was about to go upstairs, he threw a bag at her and said with a certain expression, âJim noticed that you were driving without a raincoat, so he bought one for you.â
Chapter 21 Natalie was pleasantly surprised as she took the bag and opened it to find a raincoat of good quality, but the price seemed a bit unreasonable.
But she understood. People like Jim and Trevon certainly only bought the best and most expensive things so that they could match their identity.
Natalie looked up at Trevon and asked, âHow much was it? I can give the money to you.â In fact, the price tag did indicate the price, but she was just wondering if there was a discount or something. Then, she could. save a little bit of money for herself. After all, she didnât want to spend such a large sum of money on a raincoat.
âWell, just give the money to me.â Trevon suddenly remembered the scene this afternoon when Hackett boasted about how he friended Natalie on WhatsApp.
Natalie quickly declined, âOh, thereâs no need. Iâll give it to Mr. Hawk instead. I donât want to trouble you.â She didnât dare to friend Trevon on WhatsApp, as she was worried something unfavorable would happen to her.
Trevon was always a proud man who would never show a sign of weakness in front of her. When he saw that she wasnât willing, he didnât take out his phone. He coldly said, âSuit yourself.â
He took a few steps and said again, âThrow that stuff outside. If youâre hungry, order takeout. You donât find it smelly, huh? I do. Please, Miss. Foster, abide by the agreement.â
Natalie calmly repeated to herself inwardly, âStay calm... Stay calm. This guy is just a weirdo. Donât get angry... Donât get angry.â
His face was expressionless just a minute ago, and now it was dark with displeasure, which was so unpredictable.
Gritting her teeth, Natalie said, âAlright, Mr. Wilson, I will.â She hadnât even taken a few bites, and now she had to throw it away, which was a total waste. It was better to eat outside. After all, it was shameful to waste food.
Back in his room, Trevon took out his phone from his pocket and made a call to Jim. The call was answered instantly. âGo to the supermarket now and buy some groceries, including breakfast. Get as much food as you can and deliver it to Adare Manor.â
After hanging up the phone, Jim felt extremely frustrated. It turned out that in the evening, Trevon was teasing him. Trevon asked him to buy a raincoat tomorrow while they were on the road, but when they arrived at Adare Manor, he suddenly asked him to buy a raincoat and insisted that he go to the supermarket. Why didnât Trevon ask him to buy groceries at that time? Now, Jim had just arrived home, about to open the door, and Trevon just asked him to go back to the supermarket. Whatâs the point of all these?
