Chapter 166
When they reached the 25th floor, Natalie took out the key from her baby bag and opened the door.
When the door was opened, Jenny and Lena immediately stood up from the sofa and walked quickly to the door. Lena reached out and took the child from Ethan’s hand. “Mr. White, let me do it.”
Ethan did not refuse. He was very strict with the rules. He rarely entered Natalie’s room. Last time, when Natalie was sick, he only went in to keep an eye on the doctor. Now, he would not enter. “Okay, Miss, I’ll leave first”
Natalie thanked them politely. Thank you. Rest early tonight. This neighborhood is quite safe. You don’t have to keep an eye on it every day.”
Ethan was as serious as ever. “Okay” Natalie knew that he only agreed verbally and would still guard in private.
Jenny took her bag and said, “Miss Natalie, go take a shower. We’ll help Jasper change”
She did not refuse. “Okay, thank you, Jenny. I’ll go take a slower then”
Lena waved her hand. “Go, go. You’ve been tired all afternoon. Rest early after showering”
Then, it was time to split up the work. The two nannies helped Jasper shower while Natalie went to wash up.
Twenty-five minutes later, when Natalie came out, the two nannies had already left. The door was tightly shut. Jasper was still sleeping soundly and showed no signs of waking up.
Ever since Jasper was born, he rarely slept in the crib. He usually slept with her. It was not that Jasper was unwilling to sleep alone, but she wanted to sleep with her son. It made her feel steady and happy. Every time she saw her son before she slept, she felt her fatigue for a day was dissipated. She felt that everything was worth it.
A soft voice came from outside the door. “Miss Natalie, I’m coming in” It was Lena. She didn’t knock.
Natalie got up to open the door. “Lena”
Lena did not enter. She stood at the door and handed her a glass of hot milk. “Drink this glass of milk before you go to bed. Go to bed early. Don’t keep watching medical videos. It’s not good for your eyes.”
Lena’s nagging made her very touched “Got it, Lena. You should sleep early too
She closed the door gently and smiled at the warm milk in her hand. How nice. Then, she raised her head slightly and finished the milk in one gulp. She could not waste Lena’s kindness,
After drinking milk, she went to the bathroom to wash her cup and brush her teeth. After coming out, she took her phone. and prepared to sit on the bed to watch medical videos. As soon as she opened the lock screen, thirteen messages appeared.
Natalie wondered why there were so many messages. She guessed it must be from Sherri before she clicked open these messages. She had not contacted her for the entire day. She wanted to look for her to play, but the sudden appearance of Theo stopped her from doing that
She clicked on WhatsApp and found six of the thirteen messages were from Sherri, and the other seven were from Chameleon…
She opened Sherri’s chat box first. [Natalie, are you up?]
[Where are you? Where are you?]
[Where did you go? Why didn’t you reply?]
After that was a voice call, but Natalie had stayed up late last night, so she turned her phone to silent mode. She wanted to catch up on her sleep in the morning and forgot to turn off the silent mode when she went out.
When she didn’t pick up Sherri’s voice call, Sherri got angry and sent a voice message. “Natalie, how dare you! You didn’t even pick up my call.”
Then, there was another voice message with a gentle and helpless tone. “Natalie, where did you go! Text me back now. I’m so bored. My parents are hogging Ruby.”
After reading the message, she smiled so hard that she trembled. It seemed that Richard and Juana loved their grandchild very much. Instead of reading Chameleon’s messages immediately, she called Sherri directly. “What are you doing?*
Sherri’s excited and angry voice came from the other end. “Damn, if you don’t call me, I’ll think you’ve transmigrated” Then, she added, “What have you been busy with all day without replying to my messages? Did you go to find a young
hunk?”
Natalie thought to herself, “Young hunk? More like old men. That man is almost 30 years old, and Mr. Wilson is already 30 years old.
She did not hide anything. “Mr. Wilson wanted to see Jasper in the afternoon, so I brought Jasper out to meet him. My phone was on silent mode last night, and I forgot to turn it off”
On the other end, Sherri was excited again, like she heard some incredible gossip. Then does Mr. Wilson know that Jasper is his biological great-grandson**
Speaking of this, she admired Theo’s calmness again. “Yes. He knew from the beginning. He even cried when he saw Jasper yesterday. I feel quite sad just looking at him.”
Sherri was also a kind person. Then bring Jasper to visit him more often in the future. Trevon is Trevon. Mr. Wilson is Mr. Wilson. Besides, Mr. Wilson has always been quite good to you. He’s already so old. He’ll be excited to see his biological great-grandson”
The two best friends had the same thought “When I saw Mr. Wilson crying in the afternoon, I felt quite upset, so I thought I should let him see Jasper more in the future” He was old. She did not know how long he could see Jasper.
“Just do it. You can do whatever you want. I will always stand by you”
Natalie said happily, Love you”
“Damn, when did you become so mushy?”
“Ala, isn’t this expressing the truest thoughts in my heart?”
“Alright, got it. I’ll tell you something important tomorrow. I can’t explain it over the phone now. You won’t be able to see my expression even if I tell you” Sherri wanted to tell her best friend that she had agreed to try to date Hackett.
“If you want to talk about something past talk about it. Why should I see your expression? Im not a police officer who needs to observe macroexpressions to review cases. Forget it Talk about it tomorrow. I need to sleep” She was afraid that Sherri would talk for a few hours. She had not watched the video tonight
The two of them chatted for a while before hanging up. She took the phone down and glanced at the rune messages displayed on WhatsApp In the end, she opened it
Her fingers slid up. What greeted her eyes was a nude photo of a man coming out of the shower. And the time was past 3
Last night, she seemed to have fallen asleep looking at the photo of him in women’s clothes. This afternoon, she left in a hurry after she got a phone call from Then: Her phone was on silent mode the entire day, so she did not take it out when there was no movement. She kept it in her pocket
However, there was something wrong with this person. What did he mean by sending her a nude photo in the middle of the night? He was out of his mand
Then there were seven messages
[Good night
[Are you up? What do you want to eat! I’ll buy you
Are you still sleeping? Then go ahead. Send me a message on WhatsApp if you want to eat after you wake up. I’ll send it to you!
I know you still don’t trust me. I let you down in the past. I don’t expect you to forgive me immediately. It’s line as long as you don’t turn me down. Trust me again)
[I’m not doing this for the kid, I promise ]
[Are you asleep? Can you text me back?]
[Good night]
When she finished reading these seven messages, her heart was in turmoil. It was as if someone had thrown a small stone into the still lake, causing the lake to shake non-stop for a long time.
