Chapter 230

Chapter 230 The car drove up to Grand Manor, and the group went up to 38th floor.

Ava walked quickly past everyone else and came up to Natalie. Tm going to play computer games with Joseph to hone my skills. I won’t be sleeping with you tonight. Goodbye.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed into the room to get her pajamas. She only took the stuff she needed for the next morning and left her suitcase in the room.

Natalie immediately turned to look at Trevon and asked, “Is this your doing?”

It was not Trevon. Ava was the one who suggested this plan in exchange for information about Frank. Perplexed, Frank said honestly. “It’s not my idea. Ava felt that she was playing gooseberry with us and decided to leave us alone tonight. I didn’t ask her to do that.”

He nodded resolutely, and Natalie also felt his explanation sounded reasonable. Ava always did as she wished. Otherwise, she would not have insisted on pursuing Frank despite their objections.

Just as Natalie was lost in her thoughts, Ava had already come out of the room. She took her things and bid Natalie goodbye again. “Good night, Natalie. I’m leaving now.”

Natalie wanted to say something, but Ava had already rushed into Joseph’s room. Feeling helpless, she could only shake her head.

Sherri understood what was happening immediately. Trevon was going to sleep in Natalie’s room that night. She wondered if she would feel awkward as the soundprooling of the room might not be good. She might not be able to sleep the entire night.

Sherri did not think it was a good idea. Although they were all adults, she would still be uncomfortable if they got intimate in the room.

Hackett thought Trevon was the one who made Ava go away and was displeased. How could Trevon do that to an adorable girl like Ava? “That’s so despicable of you.”

“Really? What about you? If you are not despicable, why did you have a bet with Frank?”

Sherri heard the word “bet’ and got curious. “What bet are you talking about?” Soon, they had already arrived at Trevon’s Foot Hackett quickly gave Trevon a pleading look and implored the latter not to tell Sherri about his bet with Frank.

Trevon reciprocated with a mocking look. He scoffed at how cowardly Hackett was.

Sherri wanted to probe further, but she was too stunned by what she saw when the door was open. Jim was lying on the ground, motionless, while the two children were shooting him with toy guns.

Jasper playfully exclaimed, “You’re dead. You’re dead.”

Ruby quipped excitedly. “Oh yes. Yeah!”

Both Sherri and Natalic were shocked beyond words.

They felt sorry for Jim Seeing his parents enter the room, Jasper climbed onto the stool. He then whipped out his homework proudly and presented it to Trevon as if it was some treasure. “Daddy!”

When Jim saw the four of them, he was elated. His savior had arrived. He instantly stood up and became alive again. He had a hard time taking care of Jasper and Ruby. After doing Jasper’s homework, he still had to pretend to be dead.

If they had not come back, Jim would have thought that he had indeed died.

After acting for so long, he could not tell the difference between real life and acting. He was too immersed in the role-playing.

Trevon looked at the homework Jasper had proudly presented to him and frowned. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Jasper before turning to a guilty-looking Jim. He knew what had happened. “Good. Your handwriting looks great.”

Trevon was in a good mood that day and decided not to pursue the matter.

Suspicious, Natalie took the sketchbook from him. She could tell at a glance that something was wrong with the homework. She stared at it with disbelief. She sighed as she carried Jasper. “Let’s go take a shower.”

Trevon grabbed her arm and stopped her. “He’s already showered. He should go to bed now”

Sherri glanced at Ruby, who was still wearing her pretty dress. She asked Hackett, “Did Ruby take a shower too?”

“Yes.” Hackett immediately carried Ruby and walked into his room.

Sherri followed closely behind and asked in surprise, “Are you going to sleep with Ruby tonight?”

Hackett looked at her, perplexed. “Do you want to go back to Natalie’s room and listen in to the action?”

Sherri thought. “Ha! So Trevon is making me and Ava go away so he can have his way with Natalie. He’s very cunning”

Trevon walked into Natalie’s room with much familiarity. It was already very late, so Natalie had no problems getting Jasper to sleep.

After Jasper fell asleep, she left the room quietly. Trevon was sitting on the couch. Feeling uneasy, she asked, “Do you really want to sleep here?”

Trevon got up and pulled her into an embrace. He said in a low voice, “I want to sleep with you. Don’t be afraid. I’m handicapped now. I won’t do anything to you.”

It would have been better if he had not said that, but once he did, Natalie’s imagination started to run wild. With a forced smile, she said. Im going to take a shower.”

It sounded like a straightforward statement. Somehow, Trevon thought that she was implying something else.

He smirked and teased. “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

Natalie walked into the bathroom and tried to prepare herself mentally. Although both of them had slept together several times in the Wilson’s residerice, it was not the same this time. The situation now was completely different.

Natalie was an adult and knew what could happen. She leaned her back against the door and took a few deep breaths. She could hear her heart pounding fast and loud.

After composing herself, Natalie walked to the showerhead and turned on the tap. The warm water fell on her head. The glistening and translucent water droplets clung to her fair skin as her thoughts gradually became clear.

After drying her hair, she casually took a hairband from the sink and tied her hair. When she opened the door and walked out of the bathroom, her eyes met with Trevon, who was leaning against the door. “Why are you standing here?”

Trevon’s thin lips parted slightly, his eyes twinkling. Tm waiting for you”

These words made her heart flutter again, and her heart started beating faster again. She tried to act calm and looked up, averting his gaze. “Are you going to take a shower?”

He took note of every of her subtle expression as he stared intently at her. “I already showered before going to the bar to look for you.”

Natalie was annoyed to hear that Trevon had taken a shower by himself. She said irritably. “You can take a shower yourself. but you insisted that I help you. Did you do it on purpose?”

Trevon admitted. “It feels more satisfying to have you give me a shower.”

He emphasized the word “satisfying Immediately, Natalie’s thoughts started to run wild. She recalled the incident where she had used her hand to satisfy him. It almost made her a handicap.

In an instant, her ears and cheeks turned red. Embarrassed, she lowered her head. “Stop looking so smug. You took advantage of me.”

Trevon’s smile widened. He took a step forward and stood in front of her. He pulled her into her arms with one hand and leaned close to her ear.

“Natalie, are you thinking...

Natalie pushed his chest away gently. She then placed her hands on it and looked at him. “Don’t go overboard.”

Immediately, Trevon became compliant and did not tease her any further. He reached his hand out to stroke her hair. “Let’s not talk about it anymore.

Let’s sleep now, okay?

Natalie felt that every word he said that night seemed to insinuate something else. She wondered if she was thinking too much.

She figured that Jasper was also sleeping on the bed with them, so Trevon should know better than to misbehave. Besides, his hand was injured.

Reality proved that Natalie was thinking too much.

Both of them held hands again and walked into the room together. Jasper had occupied half the bed, lying in the middle. Trevon frowned and went up to the boy. He pulled his wrist and moved Jasper to one side.

His movements were brusque, and he looked annoyed.

Unhappy with how roughly Trevon was treating Jasper, she reminded him, “Be gentle. He’s only a child”

Trevon said shamelessly, “Huli. My gentleness is only reserved for you.”

Natalie was speechless.

Natalie ignored his teasing and lay down under the blanket. Trevon also lay down, sticking close to her.

When Ava went to Joseph’s room, he was still not back. She then chose a room and went inside. Although she felt sleepy, she still wanted to send Frank a message.

She excitedly took her phone and opened Frank’s chat interface. She typed. [Buddy, are you asleep?]

After a while, there was no reply. Ava refused to give up and sent another message. [What are you doing?]

[Are you working on your computer?]

Ava started badgering Frank. [I’m so lucky to have met you in Athana.]

After sending the message. Ava would look at her phone often, waiting for Frank’s reply. After keeping watch of her phone for some time, she started to doze off.

Rose had told Ava that Frank was like a minefield. He was not a safe haven for anyone. Ava was bombarding Frank constantly with messages that he was about to explode. Frank preferred to be left alone and did not like to be disturbed.

Ava enjoyed flooding Frank with her messages.

Meanwhile, Frank was in his villa at Deepwater Bay.

He had just sent Rose to the villa. He whipped out his phone and looked at it. He frowned slightly, narrowing his eyes as he scrolled the phone.

However, he did not reply. He merely kept the phone in his pocket. Rose wondered if it was Ava and if she had started taking action. “Who is it? Why aren’t you replying? Don’t you think it’s very rude not to reply?”

Frank looked at her coldly. “Are you getting out of the car? If not, you can sleep in the car.”

Rose snorted. Only a fool would sleep in the car. Since slie had already decided to lead a good life, she did not see any reason to suffer. Rose quickly got out of the car. “Do you fancy anyone?”

Frank did not even look back at Rose. He scoffed, “Do you think everyone is like you? You’re so blinded by love that you can’t see properly.”

Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 229 My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise Chapter 227 Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen Chapter 340 Hearing this, Rose froze. She walked past Frank, deliberately bumping him to show her annoyance.

Frank did not think he had said anything wrong. He said, “No pain, no gain.”

Rose turned around immediately. “Don’t you get it? If you think I’ve bad taste in men, why don’t you find a girlfriend for yourself?”

Frank ignored her and went straight into the villa. “Sleep early if you have nothing to do. If you’re bored, go get a job.”

Rose retorted. “I’ve only stayed here for a few days, and you’re already feeling the pinch. Don’t worry, I’m not someone who will sit around and do nothing. I will work when I have to. I’ve already found a job. Don’t worry about me,”

Frank ignored her nasty comments. “Chris’ hospital?”

Rose replied. “I’m not going to his hospital. I’ll be working at Athana Hospital.”

Frank did not care where Rose was working as long as she had a job. He was happy if she did not torment him. “Coem home during the weekend to see Mom and Dad.”

Rose flatly refused. “No.” She then strode into her room and banged the door close.

Frank looked at the door and pursed his lips. His head started to spin. Why was Rose still so rebellious at this age?

He stood downstairs and pondered for a few minutes before entering his room. He did not go back to Lithern Club that night.
