Chapter 191
Rachel cooked dinner. She cooked a lot of dishes and ate a lot Mr. Wilson kept asking Trevon to put food in her bowl. Yet Trevon said that his mother did not like cooking but had been a housewife after marrying his father. She was a person who could not stay idle, so she always liked to cook herself. Even if it was the kitchen, she wanted to keep an eye on it.
During dinner, Rachel fed Jasper his meal.
Putting everything else aside, Jasper’s food, accommodation, and transportation were all arranged by Rachel. Even if Mary did most of the things, she was still worried and would check on it herself.
Of course, all of this was told to Natalie by Trevon. Rachel doted on Jasper like he was a piece of treasure. Trevon said she had never treated him like this when he was young
These words sounded a little displeased. It was obvious that he was jealous of his son
After dinner. Theo asked her to stay. However, she still had to look after her godmother at home. In addition, it was inappropriate for her to stay in his place before they remarry. She was, at most, the child’s mother and Trevon’s girlfriend.
As for remarriage, she didn’t want to do it now. It was fine to fall in love, but remarriage was a matter between two families. At the moment, she didn’t want it to be so complicated. She just wanted to have a simple relationship.
Natalie sat in the back seat with Jasper in her arms on the way back. Jasper was a little sleepy and was already dozing off in her arms. She covered her son with a blanket and hugged him quietly
Her thoughts drifted away. Mr. Wilson said Trevon had gone to Sapphire City seven times a month. If he persisted for two years and one month, that would be 175 times. Could it be that her brother had stopped him so many times? If that were the case, did her brother already know who Jasper’s father was?
Also, what was with the flowers and trees? Did she really not remember telling him that she liked cherry blossoms?
After thinking about these things repeatedly, it would be a lie to say that his actions did not touch her. She was shocked and touched because she had never thought Trevon would do that.
To make a person insist on doing one thing every month and fail every time, he needed a strong belief to support himself to continue doing this because the outcome might still be a failure.
The man in the driver’s seat saw the woman in the rearview mirror thinking about something. He frowned from time to time and asked curiously, “What are you thinking about?”
After being pulled back to reality by the voice, she asked. “Why did you change all the trees in the Wilson’s residence to flowering trees and lie that Mr. Wilson planted them?”
He knew that his grandfather would not help him keep it a secret, so he said naturally, “Didn’t you say that you like how the flowers bloom? You don’t like the flowers being picked from the tree,”
She searched for the origin of this sentence in her mind and thought hard. It seemed to be two years ago when they were running together. The flowers and trees on both sides of the road were plum blossoms. She stopped and thought it was beautiful then, so she squatted down and picked up the petals. She seemed to have said that she liked blooming flowers and did not like to pick them because this would stop their life from continuing. It could bring her a different surprise in the soil.
A part of her heart melted. She was touched. She never thought that someone like Trevon would do such a romantic thing. There shouldn’t be a woman who didn’t like the man she had a crush on to do something nice for her. “You were the one who changed the trees in the neighborhood.”
“Yes” This time, he didn’t hide it, nor did he lie.
Natalie looked at the back of the man’s head and smiled. Trevon was really arrogant. He was too embarrassed to admit it after doing something. “Then why didn’t you admit it last time and even say you didn’t know this developer? So this neighborhood is Mr. Blackwell’s?”
“Yes.” Trevon felt awkward for a moment. However, he couldn’t deny it no matter what now.
Natalie smiled and said, “Thank you. I like it very much.”
His awkward expression eased when he saw the woman’s bright and sunny smile from the rearview mirror. He would have told her that night if he had known that she would be touched. His lips curled into a smile.
When the car entered the entrance of Evergreen Gardens, Natalie saw a familiar figure through the car window. She told the man driving the car, “Stop the car.”
He slowly stepped on the brakes and turned to look at her in confusion. “What’s wrong?”
“Wait, someone’s looking for you. Lower the window. When they got into the car, Trevon had set up a security lock to prevent Jasper from pressing the buttons randomly. So, the back door could not be opened. He needed to unlock it from the front to open the door.
The car window rolled down, and the young man’s delicate features appeared before them. He was very clean. He was wearing a school uniform and only had a pair of ordinary sneakers on his feet. It was not an expensive or limited edition.
The young man looked nervous and cautious,
Seeing the car window roll down and the person he had waited for a long time appeared, Tucker called out nervously.
“Sister”
Natalie did not dislike him, nor did she like him much. This was because they had never interacted before. When Tucker was born, she had already moved out to live with her grandfather. In the past ten years, the number of times they had seen each other could be counted on one hand. Their parents’ grudges had nothing to do with him. “Did you come looking for me?”
Tucker nodded and stood awkwardly. Tm here to apologize on behalf of my mother. Sis, don’t misunderstand. I’m not here to beg you to let her off. I know that the mistake she made is unforgivable. She should bear the consequences. I came today to apologize to you. We are sorry”
The young man bowed sincerely before his eyes turned red as tears shimmered in his eyes.
Trevon, who was in the driver’s seat, did not speak. He was quite surprised that such a family could produce such a boy with a pure heart. He was not contaminated. There was no impurity in the young man’s eyes. It was clean and clear.
Natalie was not unreasonable. She would not implicate a child in this matter. “This is none of your business. You don’t have to apologize to me. Your mother is your mother. You are you. How did you get here?”
Tucker’s eyes turned red as he held his tears in. “I took a taxi here.”
Natalie’s heart softened. She looked at Jasper in her arms and looked up at Tucker. Tll send you back. Don’t come out so late in the future. It’s better to spend more time studying. Don’t interfere in adult matters. It’s not something you can interfere
in
Tucker quickly rejected, “Sis. I understand. You don’t have to send me back. I can go back myself. I’ll be safe. Goodbye”
Trevon could see the woman’s worry through the rearview mirror. She was clearly restraining her emotions. So, he said to the young man outside. “If you don’t want her to worry, be obedient. I’ll get someone to send you back.”
Tucker quickly wiped his tears and sniffled. “Okay.”
Trevon took out his phone and called someone. Then, he didn’t start the car engine and waited for the bodyguard to drive it out After Tucker got into the car, he drove the car into the gate.
After parking the car, Trevon quickly got out, opened the door of the backseat, and took their son from her arms. “Give him
to me.”
Natalie did not refuse. She handed the child to him and looked up at him. “Aren’t you curious about who that child was?”
“Elena’s son” It was definitely a firm answer. From their conversation, he had already figured out their relationship.
Seeing that Natalie had something on her mind, he remained silent. He carried his son with one hand and held her wrist with the other. He was not a gossipy person. He was just more concerned about her matters. “You don’t have to feel guilty. Didn’t you say it yourself? He is not his mother. Besides, I don’t think this child is insensible. At least he is a good person. If you don’t hate him, you can help him if you want. I can help him when he grows up as long as he treats you sincerely.”
His compassion toward the others was up to her.
If Harry and Emily were to offend her again, she would have to deal with more than Elena alone. Tucker was still in junior high school. It would be a few years before he became an adult. They did not have to rush into things.
Perhaps because Elena was in jail that they had restrained themselves.
This time, Natalie was wrong. Harry had restrained himself and was afraid, but it didn’t mean that Emily thought the same.
“We’ll see. Let’s go. Their fingers interlocked as they walked to the elevator.
When they arrived at the 25th floor, they opened the door and entered the suite. Trevon went straight to the master bedroom. When Mel saw them return, she followed closely behind and said to Natalie, “Leave these to me. Have you eaten dinner? Do you want me to cook something for you?”
Mel did not dare to look at Trevon. This man’s temperament was oppressive. He always gave others a distant feeling. She was a little afraid and lowered her head.
Natalie said, “It’s okay. We’ve already eaten. Is Lena asleep? Is she alright today?”
“Yes. Lena is fine. She ate a big bowl of rice tonight and was very happy.”
Natalie smiled and praised, “That’s because the food you cooked is delicious. Thank you. You should rest early too. Ill change Jasper’s clothes”
Mel was not an insensible person. When she saw that the child’s father was around, she gave the family of three some space. Trevon helped his son take off his clothes clumsily. His movements were a little rough, and Natalie’s eyebrows twitched. In the end, she could not bear it and stepped forward. “Let me do it. If you remove the clothes like this, you will wake him up Trevon stood aside dejectedly and silently observed. He watched as the woman quietly helped their son take off his clothes. Her movements were swift yet gentle, and she removed his clothes in just a few seconds.
