Chapter 264
Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
Chapter 264 Lunch was very plentiful. Every dish on the table showed how good the Wilson family was to Natalie. They were basically her favorite dishes.
The entire dining room was filled with smiles. Even the servants were smiling. With the old and the young around, it was hard not to be happy As the saying went, having an old man at home was like having a treasure.
Theo occasionally made a joke and teased Trevon and Jasper. Jasper couldnât eat so well independently yet and could always perform a few clumsy movements, causing everyone to laugh. They all felt that he was very cute, not clumsy However, the beautiful painting would always be disturbed by tactless people, such as those who came uninvited or those who felt good about themselves.
âThere are so many people. Why didnât you call us when itâs so lively?â A sharp voice with a strange tone came from the door.
Hearing this, no one turned around. However, everyoneâs hand that was holding tableware paused for a moment before returning to normal. The playfulness stopped.
After all, they did not welcome the owner of the voice in their hearts, so there was no way to fake a welcome. Todayâs lunch could be said to be hard-
won. It was interrupted not long after it started. Even Theo was dissatisfied.
As expected, Theoâs face darkened and he put down tableware heavily. There was no hint of welcome in his tone. âDidnât we agree to cancel the gathering in the future?â
âCancel the gathering?â
Natalie turned her head and looked at Trevon inquiringly. The man who caught her gaze held her soft little hand under the table tightly and tapped his palm twice to indicate that Theo was right.
After Max was disabled last time. Theo felt that the fake gathering was no longer meaningful. In addition, Jasper would go to the Wilsonâs residence.
It was better to live separately However, he did not expect the others to suddenly come today.
Peggyâs family felt that what happened last time was not as Trevon had said. It was just that there was no evidence, so they gritted their teeth and swallowed. When they went to look for the female celebrity from last time, she was unconscious and they could not ask her at all. The next day, Peggy went back and said that she had already been discharged. In the end, she seemed to have disappeared. Many people they sent out could not find this female celebrity.
The matter was very fishy, but there was no evidence Even if she was unhappy, she could not flare up at Trevon This kind of loss made Peggy feel suffocated.
Peggyâs tone was strange and did not find herself disturbing at all âUncle, isnât Max getting engaged? I brought Emily here to get to know him. No matter what, weâre family Besides, Trevon is Mayâs savior Everyone knew what the words âsavior meant. Only Natalie did not know. She calculated in her heart and felt that there were many things she did not know However, now was not the time to ask. He would talk about it tonight From Peggyâs tone, she had a feeling that Maxâs disability was more or less related to Trevon. She did not know if it was her imagination.
âEmily?â Even with his back facing her, he knew that Emily was here. If he didnât want to see her, he would still meet her. Things that he didnât want to see often happened the next second.
This was a terrifying law. It was just like when you were in primary school. One day, you would slack off and not memorize. When the teacher in class said that he would test everyoneâs self-discipline today, you would say in your heart, âDonât pick me. Donât pick me. Donât pick me.â
However, this kind of thing was so mysterious. In the next second, the teacher would definitely call you out. You would wondered if the teacher had divination skills.
Trevon kept rubbing Natalieâs soft fingers under the table, as if to reassure her. Everyone at the table had already stopped eating. Only Jasper continued to eat innocently, and the sound of his slurping was heard.
He was eating happily and mouthful after mouthful. He would also laugh and say that the food was delicious.
Rachel sat at the side and did not feel awkward at all. She even smiled. She liked her grandsonâs calmness Jasper would ignore everything that had nothing to do with him.
Natalie looked at his son and thought of Trevon in a second. Could this calm and annoying look be inherited?
Trevon was silent for a moment before answering. âSo Peggy, are you here to thank me today?â
He turned around and added annoyingly. âYouâre quite sincere. Why are your hands empty? Are you thanking me verbally?â
Carlos sat down on the sofa and vented his anger on Jim who was sitting on the sofa âSince when is it your turn to sit? Youâre quite bold.â
Trevon had already stood up. He was filled with anger and dissatisfaction. He took a tissue and wiped it before casually throwing it on the table âGrandpa Carlos, why do I feel that youâre not here to thank me? You look like youâre here to find troubleâ
How could Theo not see the coldness on his grandsonâs body? Today was the first time he had officially brought Natalie back for dinner. It was also the first time a man and woman in love met their parents. The beautiful painting was definitely unhappy that it was interrupted. In addition, this grandson did not know how to read peopleâs expressions. Other than Natalie, he probably would not restrain this hostility from him.
Theo quickly stopped Trevon, afraid that he would show bad behavior in front of Jasper. âTrevon, sit downâ Then, he signaled Natalie with his eyes.
Natalie was a little embarrassed after receiving the order, but she still held Trevonâs hand. When she couldnât remove her hand, she simply stood up whilst holding his hand.
He didnât turn his head, but the dissatisfaction on his face clearly decreased. He reached out and took her hand off his arm, interlocking their fingers.
This action was very eye catching. It pierced Emily, who had been standing in front of them and was being hugged by Max. She was jealous, but she still pretended to congratulate her. âCongratulations, Sis, for stepping into the Wilson family again.â
Upon hearing this, Theoâs expression darkened, but he still had a kind smile on his face. âMiss, youâre an adult. Itâs better to think before you speak.
After all, trouble comes from the mouth.â
Emily was wearing a limited edition dress and carrying a limited edition bag. She was very confident. âGrandpa Theo, Iâm just congratulating Natalie. I donât mean anything else.â
Although she said that she was congratulating Natalie, there was no hint of congratulations in her words.
Theo did not reply. He only turned around and instructed Gage, âServe coffee.â
Emily stood in the living room and felt that something was wrong, but there was no evidence.
Natalie: Why do I feel like the green coffee is stuck?
Trevon pulled Natalie to sit down beside Theo, ignoring the gazes of others. Then, he said to Jim, who was still standing, âSit, why are you standing?
Do you still want to grow taller?â
Jim understood what Mr. Wilson meant. He immediately sat down in an armchair at the side. To him, all he cared about was Natalie and Trevon. The others didnât pay him so he didnât care.
No, he had to listen to Theo. After all, Mr. Wilson couldnât beat Theo.
This move was undoubtedly an embarrassment to Carlos face. A few minutes ago, Carlos had asked Jim to stand up.
Carlos said to Trevon with a sullen expression, âWhen did the Wilson family become indiscriminate?â
Trevon crossed his legs and replied casually, âGrandpa Carlos, thatâs not right. Jim is my assistant and also my subordinate. Why is there no distinction between the top and bottom? The Wilson family is not the palace, and this sofa is not a throne with gold trimmings. How is he not allowed to sit on it?â
Carlos was rendered speechless They had come with a purpose today, so Carlos no longer bothered about Jim. He originally just wanted to establish the prestige of the host.
Peggy pulled Max and Emily to the side and sat down. He picked up a cup of coffee and took a sip. He said to Emily beside him, âEmily, youâre about to marry over. The two of you are fated to be married into the Wilson family. You have to learn from your sister in the future. If you donât understand, askâ
Emily immediately pretended to be a good student. âSis, please guide me in the future.â
Just as Natalie was about to speak, Rachel came over with Jasper in his arms. She walked towards the sofa at the side and started talking before he even sat down. âPeggy, your future daughter in lawâs memory isnât very good. I remember Natalie saying two years ago that her mother only gave birth to one child. Why is she calling Natalie her sister? This shows that her IQ isnât high. If you have nothing to do, spend more time teaching her.
How can she address Natalie wrongly?â
âTheyâre half sisters What else can she call her?â wondered Peggy.
âI canât really just call her by name here, can I?â Emily complained inwardly Ted did not come today. These words evoked a scene from two years ago. It was also the scene of Rachel arguing with Emily. It was still Carlos who suppressed his anger and suggested, âJust call her Natalie.â
*Things are so complicated in affluent families. Iâd prefer things when they were simple, thought Jim Emily gripped her bag lightly. Her nails dug into the leather bag. She gritted her teeth and called out, âNatalie.â
Natalie didnât stand on ceremony and replied very naturally, âYes?â
Since Rachel was helping her, she could not act shyly. She had to act confidently.
Maxâs eyes never left Natalieâs. He had completely forgotten that he had the lost ability to erect It was not that Rachel did not notice that Max was looking at Natalie. She reminded Emily. âDonât address Natalie wrongly in the future. If you canât remember it, you can write it on your palm. Jotting things down always helps.â
Emily thought to himself, âIâm not a fool.â
As soon as Rachel finished speaking, she turned to Max and said, âDidnât your mother teach you basic manners? Itâs a disease to stare at others when theyâre not talking to you. Donât let me see it a second time.â
Only then did Max look away Carlos glared at his good-for-nothing grandson. They didnât get any advantages today, so why were they here?
Carlos went straight to the point. âTheo, look, Max is about to start a family. Get Trevon to arrange a position for him in the Wilson Group Look..
Carlosâs eyes were filled with anticipation. He hoped that Trevon would agree. Now, the Wilson Group was under Trevorâs control. Theo had completely let go.
Therefore, he was asking Trevon. However, he was asking Theo because he hoped that he could persuade Trevon to relent Natalie cursed in her heart. Max and Emily were really compatible. They were both unemployed.
After a while, Trevon said, âAlright, the Wilson Group has been recruiting a large number of salesmen recently. Why donât we let Max try? I wonder if Grandpa Carlos will be willingâ
Carlos was rendered speechless Peggy was definitely unwilling. How could her son be a salesperson? This would definitely not be good if word got out. They would definitely be laughed at if Max became a salesman.
Rachel only played with Jasper the entire time and did not participate in his sonâs companyâs decision. It was as if she did not hear it. Natalie. was very grateful that Rachel protected her in front of them. She felt warm inside.
Peggy said again, âTrevon, Max is the second eldest son of the Wilson family. Itâs inevitable that he will be laughed at if he goes out to be a salesperson. Why donât you arrange a manager or a vice president for him?*
âThat works too. Max, what are you good at?â
âIâm good at playing with women. However, thatâs not possible now, given my situation,â thought Max.
He didnât dare speak that out loud in public. Instead, he said, âI havenât recovered yet. Iâll rest for a little longer.â
As soon as he said this, be it Trevon or Natalie, they all shook their heads in their hearts. The entire family was working hard to get a position, but in the end, they were unwilling and directly rejected. What a joke.
Emily didnât feel good. Why could Trevon get the highest position in the Wilson Group while Max couldnât enter the company? However, she couldnât say it now After all, they werenât engaged yet. There wasnât even an official announcement Carlos looked at his grandsonâs ashen face and felt suffocated. His tone softened. âThen you can wait for Max to get better.â
Trevon replied faintly, âOkayâ
Who asked the Wilson family to have such a lousy rule? The eldest son inherited the Wilson familyâs company, and the collateral relatives could only take the companyâs dividends and not compete with the eldest son. They could not fight in secret. This was the most infuriating point for Carlos and his family.
Peggyâs gaze was fixed on Jasper. Seeing that Trevon had agreed, she began to praise him. âThis child is really beautiful. Natalie went overseas for so long to give birth, right? Why didnât you stay to give birth? Youâve already married into the family, so why are you still being on independent woman?â
Natalie didnât like this theory. What did it mean to not need a job after marrying into the family? âAunt Peggy, I have a job.â
Peggy couldnât stop once she got started. âHow much money can you earn from that job of yours every day? You might as well stay at home and take good care of the child. Let Trevon give you pocket moneyâ
Natalie felt that it was impossible to chat with such a person. âEveryoneâs way of working is different. Some people like to be self-sufficient at work, some like to be a mistress who reaps benefits without working and some like money from the sky. I think my job is quite good. Not to mention how much I earn, at least I feel at ease using the money I earn Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
ï¤Chapter 263 My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise ï¤Chapter 227 Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen ï¤Chapter 340 Theo, who had been quietly drinking coffee, spake up. He nodded in agreement and smiled âGirl, youâre right. A personâs life has to be worth living. I agree with you. Your mother and I will take care of Jasper. Donât worry and focus on your careerâ
Peggy didnât know what to say.
Emily clearly felt that Natalie was implying her âMistress? Gain without working? I just donât have a job. So what if Max and I donât work? Itâs not like weâre going to starve.â
Rachel took a tissue and wiped Jasperâs hand. He said calmly, âYou two take the child to take a nap.â
Upon hearing this, Trevon stood up and picked up Jasper from the sofa. He held Natalieâs hand and went upstairs, leaving them to continue fighting downstairs.
Peggy pretended to be envious and said, âRachel, youâre really lucky to have such a grandson. Sigh, I wonder when Max will have a child.â
Rachel replied casually. âIf Max kept his children, he can start a kindergarten all by himself.â
Peggy felt that she couldnât continue this conversation anymore.
Emily was angry that her mother-in-law lost in the argument.
Theo pursed his lips and drank coffee. It was as if he did not hear the sabers and swords in the living room. He was not affected at all and was in a good mood.
