Chapter 95
Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
Chapter 95 Trevon continued to smoke in frustration as he watched the snowflakes falling from the sky and landing on the treetops in front of the courtyard.
His chest felt stuffed. No matter how much he smoked, he couldnât get rid of the feeling Rachel pushed open the door of the living room and walked in. When she saw her son smoking, she couldnât help but frown. The company was closed for a few days because of the holidays, so Trevon was at home. She realized that her sonâs smoking addiction had intensified recently. Every time she saw him, he was smoking âItâs not good to smoke too muchâ
Upon hearing that, Trevon put out his cigarette and walked into the living room. After closing the balcony door, the room instantly became much warmer.
He was not enthusiastic. Instead, he was a little cold. âWhatâs the matter?â
Rachel automatically ignored his coldness as she was used to it. It would be out of Trevonâs character if he was enthusiastic. âHave you prepared the New Yearâs gift for Grandpa tomorrow?â
This was a tradition in the Wilson family. Every year on New Yearâs Eve, the younger generation would prepare a gift for Theo. Trevon was no exception.
He continued coldly, âYesâ
Even though Trevon had answered her question, Rachel did not intend to leave. She did not look old even though she was 50 years old. She took good care of herself, so no one could see any traces of age on her face. I heard from your grandfather that the two of you are divorcedâ
âYes,â Trevon replied curtly. He didnât like to talk about this.
It was rare for Rachel to be so talkative. âWhat do you think?â
âWhat can I think about after the divorce?â Natalie was about to leave the country. He couldnât possibly beg her to stay. He definitely wouldnât do that.
Rachel sighed in her heart. She didnât teach her son anything in terms of relationships. 20 years ago. Caleb had just taken over Wilson Group when he was met with a car accident. His lower body was almost paralyzed. At that time, Trevon was only 8 years old. Rachel gave all her attention to Caleb then. She only hoped that her husband wouldnât be paralyzed and neglected her sonâs growth.
When Caleb finally recovered, Trevon had already matured and his personality was already more or less developed. He was cold and indifferent to everything and did not seem to feel much.
Rachel was guilty that he turned out this way, so she especially hoped that Trevon could find someone to love and share his burden with Rachel hesitated for a moment. âIf you like, L...â
âThereâs no need. I can take care of my own matters. You donât have to worry.â He realized that his tone was a little harsh.
Hence, he asked, âHow is Dadâs leg?â
Rachel replied truthfully, âThe aftereffects of the car accident canât be completely eliminated. Itâs already very good. compared to before. At least heâs standing, but when the weather is cold, his knees will still hurt. Itâs fine as long as he doesnât go out and keeps warm.â
âOkayâ Cold as ever again.
Noticing that her son had nothing to say, Rachel said that she would go downstairs to see if it was time for dinner. She also instructed him to smoke less.
At the dining table, Theo looked at his grandson, who was eating in silence, with disdain.
Theo glared at Trevon with every mouthful of food Trevon ate. Noticing the unfriendly gaze, Trevon looked up and met the old manâs disdainful eyes.
Trevon cleared his throat awkwardly. âGrandpa, I got you a calligraphy scroll that I think youâll like.â
Theo snorted. âMy favorite girl has left in anger because of you. Whatâs the use of that scroll? Can it turn into a granddaughter-in-law?â
Trevon was rendered speechless and thought, âDidnât Grandpa get the divorce certificate for us?â
Rachel was putting food into Calebâs bowl. She nudged her husband and gestured for him to help Trevon out Unexpectedly, Mary added, âThatâs right, Mr. Trevon. Mrs. Wilson is a really good person. She doesnât put on any airs at all and is especially polite.
We all like her so much. Sheâs so kind.â
After the old man forced the entire Wilsonâs residence to watch the live broadcast of the rescue incident. Natalie gained many admirers from the Wilsonâs residence.
The atmosphere was a little awkward. When the old man heard this, he became even angrier and glared at his grandson for the entire night The day after New Yearâs, as soon as Natalie got off work, she drove Sherriâs car to the Fosterâs residence with a trunk full of New Yearâs goods.
When the two servants heard the long-awaited voice at the door, they ran to greet her.
âMiss Natalie, youâre back. Are you here to celebrate New Year?â
Ever since Barronâs death, Natalie could not get over this and chose to avoid going home. Now that she was back, the two servants were overjoyed.
Natalie smiled. âYes. I bought many things. Letâs make pizza together tonightâ
The two servantsâ eyes turned red as they hurriedly ran over to help her carry her things. As they moved, they grumbled, âMiss Natalie, why did you buy so many things? Are you planning to stay here for long?â
As Natalie walked into the Fosterâs residence, which she had not stepped into for a long time, her sealed memories instantly surged in her mind.
Every corner of the room was filled with memories of her and her grandfather.
There was laughter and banter, her grandfather teasing her, and the scene of her being educated by her grandfather. One scene after another played on a loop like a slide show in her mind. In an instant, tears blurred her eyes. She missed her grandfather. She missed him very much.
A servant noticed her emotions. âMiss Natalie, do you miss Mr. Theo?â She began to feel sad as well, and she choked up.
Natalie came back to her senses and wiped away her tears. She smiled and said, âLena, Iâm fine. Itâs just that I havenât been back for a long time, and there are just so many mentories of Grandpa here. Iâll move on. Donât worry.â
After everything was moved in. Natalie began to distribute them. âLena, I bought two sets of calcium tablets. Youâre aging, so one for each of you to prevent osteoporosis. Also, I bought a coat for you and Jenny. These are your New Yearâs gifts. They arenât particularly expensive, so donât mind it. I also bought two sets of this massager...â
Natalie continued to talk while distributing the things she had bought. Little did she know that the two servantsâ eyes were already red from crying.
When Natalie looked up, she saw Lena and Jennyâs red and swollen eyes. Natalie smiled. âHey, Iâm going to be sad too if you guys are like this. Letâs celebrate the new year happily, okay? Grandpa doesnât like it when I cry. Donât make me cry.â
The two of them nodded and started to tease each other. Jenny, itâs all your fault. Youâre affecting me. Hurry up and get the flour Iâll prepare the other ingredients. Miss Natalie is probably hungry after getting off work.â
âThereâs no hurry. Itâs fine. You can bring your things to your rooms firstâ
The two servants were so touched that they brought all the gifts distributed by Natalie back to their rooms and kept thanking her Natalieâs eyes were filled with tears as she muttered in her heart, âGrandpa, Iâm back for New Year. Iâll spend the new year with you. I wonât cry again after New Year.â
Looking around at the clean environment, she could tell that the two servants had been very diligent in cleaning the house. The furnishings were also still the same.
After thinking for a while, Natalie composed herself and said to Jenny who just came out of the room, âJenny, letâs make pizza together.â
Jenny quickly said, âNo, no, we canât let you do that. Sit down and let us do it.â
Natalie refused. âItâs fine. Grandpa used to let me do it all the time. We wonât get too tired if we work together. We can even chat with each other to pass the time.â
Lena said, âThanks, Miss Natalie, Are you coming back to stay after the new year?â
Natalie kneaded the dough as she said, âIâm not staying. Iâll only be staying here for a few days. Iâm going abroad after New Year.â
Jenny and Lena said in unison, âMiss Natalie, youâre going abroad?â
âThatâs right. I want to improve myself. Didnât Grandpa always say that we have to learn as long as weâre alive? Iâm going abroad to increase my knowledge.â
Lena was a little worried. After all, Natalie had never left Athana. Theo had protected her very well.
Noticing their worried expressions, Natalie said, âItâs fine. Donât worry. Iâm going to study, not go on crazy adventures. Donât worry.â
Natalie suddenly thought of the document she read and asked, âJenny, Lena, where did you get your culinary skills from?â
At the mention of this, happy memories surfaced in the minds of the two servants. The memories were all about Natalieâs
mother. âWe were taught by Mrs. Foster, your mother. She was very outstanding and knew how to cook very well. I remember that when Mrs. Foster first married into the family, she didnât know how to cook. Later, she seemed to have learned it from someone and said that she wanted to cook for us to try. At that time. Mr. Theo and Mr. Harry were both around. Mr. Harry liked the dishes cooked by her very much. Later on, every time Mrs. Foster learned a new dish, she would teach us how to make it. Gradually, we forgot our previous cooking methods and became used to Mrs. Wilsonâs cooking method.â
So that was how it was. It seemed that the information she received was true. Although she didnât suspect it was fake before, now that she heard her servants tell her this, she was even more certain.
After eating pizza at night, Natalie went to her room. Quiet nights tended to bring back oneâs memories.
She was immersed in vivid memories.
Suddenly, her phone rang. The caller ID stated that it was Sherri As soon as Natalie picked up the call, a happy voice came from the other end. âNatalie, what are you doing?â
âTalking to you on the phone.â
âDo you even have conversational skills? I want to share something happy with you.â
Hence, Natalie asked, âHow was it when you got home? Did your mother scold you? Did she find out?â
Sherri was very happy. âNo, she didnât. Let me tell you something! Distance really makes the heart grow fonder. I stayed at my brotherâs place for a few days. When I came back, my mother was very good to me. She didnât even scold me. My brother even covered for me. Besides, my brother has forgiven me.â
Natalie laughed. âLook at how happy you are. Tell me, how did you beg for forgiveness?â
âOf course, I used my ultimate weapon. I acted cute. I was prepared to throw tantrums if he still didnât forgive me.â
Natalie knew that Sherri only had two weapons in her arsenal. Edward probably forgave her because he couldnât take it anymore. In short, everything was fine as long as he forgave her.
The process was not important.

Iâve sent you some money through Venmo. Hurry up and accept it. I hope you have a great year, always be so beautiful, and be loved by everyone.â
âThank you, my dear. Youâre so sweet today. I just sent you 88 dollars. Isnât that very auspicious and generous? I wish you a great year ahead. I hope that youâre always happy and will always be lucky.â
âThanks. I also sent you the same amount. Itâs almost 12 oâclock. Donât stay up late to watch dramas.â
âAlright, Mrs. Wilson. Bye, love you.â
After hanging up, Natalie sent money to Jenny and Lemn through Venmo. After that, she sent 88 dollars to Edward along with a text message.
[Happy New Year. I wish you all the best.]
Soon, Edward replied. [Thank you for your wishes. Happy New Year to you too.] Immediately after, she also received the same amount of money from Edward.
Natalie did not accept it. Instead, she replied with a thank you, smiled, and put away her phone.
Just as she put down her phone, a person with the username âChameleonâ sent her 888 dollars through Venmo Natalie paused for a moment. She stretched out her fair fingers and quickly rejected it. Without typing a word, she put away her phone.
