Chapter 128
At night. Natalie returned home.
As soon as she entered. Jasper happily threw down the Lego in his hand and ran toward Natalie.
He unreservedly expressed his inner feelings and said. “Mommy, let’s play with sand
Recently, the little guy had been arranged by her brother every day Every day, he would play outside. He had been having fan outside for an entire week without missing a single day. Now, he even wanted to pla for tomorrow
His vocabulary had increased a lot recently. He could even speak quite a few coherent sentences
Natalie slowly squatted down and picked up his son. She pinched his chubby little face and said. “Jasper, let’s cook something delicious at home tomorrow and invite Ruby over, okay? You haven’t seen your sister for a few days. Do you miss her?”
Unexpectedly, the little kid did not compromise and still wanted to play “Let’s take sister to play with the sand together”
He was determined to go.
She gave up on communicating with him and carried him to the living room “Auntie, did Joseph promise Jasper to bring him to play with sand?”
Lena poked her head out of the kitchen and wiped her hands on her apron. She smiled and said, “Yes, Mr. Turner calls every day to ask how Jasper is going. This afternoon, he video-called Jasper and asked Mr. White to bring Jasper to the beach tomorrow Jasper remembers thus.”
After saying that, Lena continued to praise Joseph. “Mr. Turner is a careful and helpful man. He arranges everything personally every day. He can find all the fun things around. Then, he instructs Mr White to take Jasper there. I wonder which girl can luckily marry such a good man
Natalie listened to Lena’s endless praise of Joseph and felt warm from the bottom of her heart. He was always so meticulous. She felt like she was being taken care of like a daughter. It was blissful to have someone to rely on.
Since her cousin had already made the arrangements, she could not go back on her word. She made a compromise. “Alright, since Uncle Joseph has promised you. Mommy will listen to him. Let’s set off for the beach tomorrow and call Ruby, okay?”
Jasper smiled innocently “Yay, okay”
The next morning, the sun shone through layers of white fog on the bed. The entire world was bright, but this quiet. morning was disturbed by an annoying man
Her phone rang It was a friend verification. “Remove me from the blacklist.”
Natalie looked at the message on the phone and ignored it. She threw the phone on the bed and helped the little boy wear
clothes.
Today she was sober. He might be on a whim. It’s better to ignore him.
After dressing her son, she ruffled his hair and called Sherri. “Sherri, are you okay? I’ll pick you up when you’re done”
Sherri also woke up early. She was very concerned about Ruby’s matters. “Alright, come and pick me up.”
On the beach by the sea. Natalie squatted beside Jasper and played with the sand with him. Sherri suddenly said, “Natalie, I have something to tell you”
“Hmm” What’s the matter?”
Sherri replied, “Hackett has been coming to my clinic several times these days. I suspect that his brain is not normal”
Natalie was a little suspicious. “Don’t tell me he knows about Ruby.”
Sherri felt that it was impossible. “I don’t think so. I haven’t even brought Ruby to the hospital before. My mother hasn’t either. They only play around the home.”
“Then he wants to pursue you?” Natalie guessed
Sherri was stunned for a moment. “I think that’s possible. Do you think he has taken a fancy to me? Or why did he come a
few tunes”
Natalie felt that it would be fine if Hackett liked Sherri. As long as he was into her, it would be a happy thing for both of them. “It’s pretty good if he likes you sincerely. Besides, he’s Ruby’s lather. But if he’s playing with your heart, ignore him and stay as far away as possible.”
Sherri retorted. “Don’t you think it is ridiculous to describe hini as mucere?”
Then, Sherri added, “I don’t believe a prodigal will return. I’d rather believe that a sow will climb a tree. A leopard can’t change its spots like a playboy will never change his habits.”
Natalie found this remark too disgusting.
She didn’t intend to say anything else. After all, she wasn’t sure what Hackett was thinking. From Ruby’s perspective, it was a good thing, but taking Sherri’s stance, she definitely hoped that he liked her and not on a whim.
The two little kids had a lot of fun. When they returned, Sherri and Ruby slept at Evergreen Gardens as usual. She would bring her daughter back to the Landor family tomorrow.
After helping the two dirty little kids shower, they fell asleep early because they were all tired from playing.
With the protection of the bodyguards, Natalie gave the two aunties a day off today. They returned to the Foster’s residence.
Sherri wanted to eat supper. “Natalie, do you want beef stew? I’m a little hungry. Let’s call takeout.”
“Alright, I want to eat it too. Take a shower and I’ll call it. Do you want slightly spicy or extra spicy?”
Sherri thought for a moment. “Extra spicy. Do you have Sprite at home?”
“I don’t think so. Ill order a large bottle and we’ll share it.”
“Alright, then I’ll go take a shower first. Hurry up. I’m a little hungry.”
“Got it.” After Sherri entered the bathroom, Natalie searched for the best beef stews on the app. In fact, she wanted to eat durian, but she thought about it and quit this idea. She was afraid that the two little guys would not be able to stand the smell. Besides, Auntie had to come tomorrow,
She ordered two extra spicy beef stews, a bottle of Sprite, and a bottle of yogurt.
There were two bathrooms in the suite. She went to the closet to get her clothes and got in the bathroom for a shower. She had just come out of the bathroom and was still drying her hair when she heard the doorbell. She thought that it must be
the take-out.
She took a look through the peephole and realized there were no property management personnel. The deliverymen were not allowed to enter this community. After the items were sent to the gate for registration, there would be property staff who would distribute them to the customers so that safety could be ensured.
When she opened the door, it was Joseph’s bodyguard, Ethan “Mr. White, why are you here?” she asked.
Ethan held takeout in his hand, standing upright. He said politely and respectfully, “Ms. Foster, I’ve always been here. If you want to eat anything next time, just let me know and we’ll buy it. It’s for your safety. Also, you can call me Ethan directly.”
Natalie smiled without refusing, “Alright. By the way, Ethan, do you want to come in and eat something?”
“No, thank you, Ms. Foster. If there’s anything else you need, feel free to tell me. We will always be ready”
Natalie did not force them. Joseph’s bodyguards were all very well-behaved. “There’s nothing else for the time being. You guys should rest early too. Thank you.”
She closed the door and called softly to the guest room. “Sherri, come out. The beef stew comes. Hurry up. It hasn’t got cold
Sherri blew her hair half-dry, and randomly tied a ball head, “So yummy. What a fast delivery. Pour me some Sprite.”
Natalie poured a glass of Sprite for Sherri and another for herself. “My cousin’s bodyguard sent it up”
Sherri clicked his tongue. Joseph is protecting you like a daughter. That’s great. Natalie, you’re worth it. You were so unlucky in the first 20 years. You’ll get better and better in the future.”
These words came from the bottom of her heart. Sherri was especially happy that her best friend had a happy family where all of the members loved her. It was really blissful.
