Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon) novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108 

At 10 pm. Edward returned home to find the living room brightly lit, and Juana was busy in the kitchen. 

Curious, Edward took off has coat and hung it on a rack before walking into the kitchen. “Mom, what are you doing?” he asked 

Juana replied cheerfully. “I’m making some treats for Ruby. I’m planning to make some powdered milk cookies. She can have them as snacks when she wakes up tomorrow” 

Edward, usually composed, almost couldn’t hold back his surprise. “Who did you say?” 

Juana paused her hands, looked up with a smile, and said to her son, “You didn’t know? It’s Natalie’s twin children, the ones she brought to visit me this afternoon. They are so adorable. I wonder what children nowadays are eating. They are growing up so beautifully. Anyway, go to bed now. I’ll be done soon.” 

Edward scratched the back of his neck awkwardly and prepared to go upstairs to find his sister. “Morn. I’ll go to bed first. Go to bed early after you’re done. Don’t stay up too late.” 

Edward felt somewhat guilty as he watched his mother enthusiastically work in the kitchen. The siblings had kept their secret from their mother. 

Edward felt Sherri was probably still awake, so he sent her a message at the door, saying, “Open the door.” 

Within a minute, the door opened, and Sherri said, “Edward” 

Edward glanced downstairs and sneakily entered the room. “Why didn’t you let me know before bringing Ruby home! Mom didn’t notice, right?” 

Sherri replied with a hint of pride in her tone, “No, she didn’t notice. Your niece is clever. She knows how to make Mom happy. Besides, Ruby doesn’t look like me. Mom wouldn’t suspect anything.” 

Edward seized on a crucial point. “So, do you know who the child’s father is?” 

Caught off guard, Sherri panicked for a moment and almost slipped up “How would I know? Ruby doesn’t look like me, so she must resemble her dad. Who else could it be?” 

Well, that logic was flawless, and Edward couldn’t argue with it. After all, the child didn’t look like an alien. 

Edward suddenly made a threat. “You better not be lying to me.” 

To cover up her unease, Sherri hurriedly urged her brother, “Oh, come on, go back to your room. Take a shower and go to sleep. I’m exhausted. And I have to wake up early for work tomorrow.” 

After being pushed towards the door, Edward turned around and said, “Tomorrow, I’ll find a professional nanny for you The housemaids aren’t that skilled” 

“Okay, okay, thank you.” 

After closing the door, Sherri leaned against it, patting her chest in relief. That was a close call. 

If her brother found out that Ruby’s father was Hackett, she would be in big trouble. Their mother would be ecstatic, though. Sherri couldn’t understand how their mother could be so infatuated with Hackett, who only had a face that appealed to people of all ages and genders. 

The next day. Natalie sneakily went to work while Jasper was still asleep. The little guy had been quite restless last night, insisting on having Ruby back home. No matter how Natalie tried to appease him, he couldn’t be calmed down. It was probably because Jasper stayed up too late and cried until he was exhausted. Now he was peacefully sleeping 

The two little ones had never been apart since birth. They are and lived together, using the same brand of formula and bottles. Except for diapers and clothes, everything else was almost identical. 

The adults would develop feelings naturally after spending a long time together, let alone children. It was natural that Jasper was attached to Ruby. 

As Natalie walked downstairs, she received a text message on her phone from Ava. Each word was filled with excitement. The message said. Sis, are you at work? Dad promised me I don’t have to wait until summer vacation to come to Athana. I can come during the Memorial Day holiday. Just over a month left! I’m so happy and excited! Rose said she would come back with us 100.] 

Natalie smiled and replied to the message while walking Okay, I’m waiting for you. When you’re here, I’ll take you around the entire Athana. But remember, you have to study hard too.) 

“Oh…” Natalie bumped into something, and when she looked up, she saw a solid chest. 

She raised her head, and the cold and stern facial features she hadn’t seen in a long time entered her line of sight. It only took a few seconds for her to quickly regain her composure. “Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention.” She was referring to the fact that the bumped into Trevon. 

Trevon’s eyes were fixated on her without blinking. She had gained a Hule weight, and her skin had become even 

had been two years since they last saw each other, and her waist appeared even more delicate under a simple blue shirt. Her little face was still so exquisite 

His first instinct was to hug her…. 

Natalie had no idea what Trevon was thinking. Seeing that he did not respond, she didn’t bother to continue engaging with him. She lifted her leg and walked forward, preparing to get into her car. 

A deep voice came from belund her Tve been looking for you.” 

Natalie paused and turned around. “What?” she asked. 

Trevon pursed his lips for a moment. “Are you… doing well?” he asked. 

Natalie shook her car keys in her hand. Tm doing just fine. Mr. Wilson, you don’t have to concern about me. Goodbye.” 

She didn’t hate Trevon. During that month, he simply didn’t like her, which was understandable since their marriage had been forced upon them. It was normal not to have feelings for someone in such a situation. The only thing she couldn’t let go of was the fact that Mia had drugged her, and he knew about it but didn’t say anything. Instead, he handed the evidence to Mia, treating her like a fool. 

As for everything else, whether he had a child with Mia or any rumors surrounding them, it was his own business and had nothing to do with her. 

Sitting in her car, Natalie felt a lingering fear. She hadn’t expected Trevon to be in this neighborhood. Her uncle had hidden her information well, and there was no way he could have found out about the altered birthdate of Jasper. Plus, Jasper was born in the Turner family’s hospital, making it even less likely to be leaked. 

Still, she wasn’t entirely at ease. Just to be safe, she called Lena and instructed her to be cautious when taking Jasper downstairs to play, making sure not to let anything slip. After confirming everything was in order, she drove away. 

Coincidentally, or perhaps not, they encountered Trevon. 

“Oh, my little darling, slow down. Did you hurt yourself? Let me take a look,” Lena said worriedly as she saw Jasper excitedly run downstairs and fall 

At the same time. Jenny, who had just come downstairs, saw the little one fall and hurried over to check on him. She inspected every part of Jasper’s body and breathed a sigh of relief when she found no injuries. “Did it hurt, Jasper?” 

Jasper did not cry at all. Instead, he smiled at the two maids and replied, “Not at all.” 

“Our little Jasper is so brave. You shouldn’t run so fast now. If you fall, Mommy will be worried when she comes back,” Lena said. 

Jasper obediently nodded and then turned around to play. 

As the little one ran too fast, he collided head-on with Trevon, who was leaving. Trevon’s face turned unpleasant. He did not know why he kept getting bumped into by other people today. 

Perhaps it hurt from the collision, as Jasper’s eyes welled up with tears. However, his mother had taught him that boys shouldn’t easily cry, so he fought back the tears, refusing to let them fall. 

His adorable appearance touched Trevon’s heart, and his expression softened slightly. 

Jenny and Lena saw that Jasper had bumped into Trevon. They were afraid since Trevon’s appearance seemed hard to approach, and they were worried he might scold Jasper. So, before he could get angry, Jenny apologized, “Sir, I’m sorry. We didn’t keep an eye on the child. Please forgive us for our oversight.” 

Trevon’s face grew even more unpleasant. Did he look like someone who would be petty and hold grudges against a little 

child? 

Seeing Trevon’s silence, the maids became even more at a loss, thinking he was going to make a fuss. 

Ignoring their thoughts, Trevon was drawn to the teary-eyed little child desperately holding back his tears. He slowly squatted down and said, “If you want to cry, just cry. Why hold it in?” 

Unexpectedly, Jasper still refused to cry. He kept holding it in and even gave the man a stern look. This made Trevon find it a bit amusing. “Little one, you bumped into me, and you’re still acting like you’re right. Can’t you apologize?” 

Jenny quickly interjected, “Sir, we’re really sorry. He’s still young and doesn’t know many words…” 

Trevon automatically filtered out the maid’s words and kept his gaze fixed on the child. He felt there was something familiar in the child’s eyes as if they resembled someone.
