Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon) novel Chapter 229

Chapter 229 

The energy and excitement in the bar had reached the highest point. Many people on the first floor were cheering as if there was going to be some kind of performance. 

The four women on the second floor were watching a handsome man and a beautiful woman engaging in an intimate dance. Soon, they got tired of watching Rose mused, “I haven’t been back to Athana for a few years. Some so many people had undergone plastic surgery. Looks like I have to get a good-looking man for my child’s father in the future. I can save on plastic surgery fees in the future” 

Sherri, an obstetrician-gynecologist, gushed, “Rose, you’re right. Delivering good-looking babies puts me in a good mood. To be honest, there can be exceptions to good genes too. Last year, there was a good-looking couple whose baby’s looks were much to be desired. Their child had a flai nose, single eyelids, and a small mouth. The moment the child’s father looked disgusted when he saw his baby. He even insisted that we made a mistake. In the end, the matter was escalated to the hospital director. Thank goodness we got to the bottom of it by performing a DNA test.” 

Natalie heard the story from Sherri earlier. She concurred, “There’s always a possibility to everything. Genes are no exception.” 

Rose was a pediatrician, so she had a lot in common with Sherri. “I agree. Looking at good-looking people can indeed make one happy. Your children are born into a good family. They’re very good-looking. I’m so envious.” 

A quick-witted Sherri asked, “You like children too?” 

Rose said, ‘I do. If I don’t like children. I won’t be a pediatrician.” 

Ava quipped, “I like children ton” 

The four of them exchange smiles. They were all full of maternal love. 

As the music grew louder, the girls got tired of shouting and talking at the top of their lungs. They started to discuss where they should go next. 

Natalie did not notice that some people had sat near them until a pair of warm hands caressed her waist. She reacted swiftly by jabbing the person’s chest with her elbow. 

“Whoa! That’s so brutal” Trevon joked, rubbing his chest with one hand. He was delighted to see Natalie. 

Natalie turned around when she heard the familiar voice but did not seem surprised to see Trevon. She guessed that Trevon would know where she was the minute Frank appeared. 

She glanced at Trevon, who was still rubbing his chest. Natalie had used a little too much force because she thought the person was a stranger. Realizing her mistake, she quickly helped to rub Trevon’s chest, only to have him hold her hand tightly. She pretended to be calm. “Why are you here? Where’s Jasper 

Ignoring her question about Jasper, Trevon smirked, “I want to see how you’re doing with the mask in the beauty salon. I’m here to pick you up.” 

Natalie was at a loss for words. She felt awkward for lying to Trevon earlier. 

She quickly changed the subject. “Did you hurt your hand?” 

Trevon let go of her hand and wrapped his hand around her waist, leaning close to her ear. “Natalie, you’ve become very naughty. You now know how to lie without batting an eyelid. There’s a big difference between a bar and a beauty salon. Or do you not know what a beauty salon is?” 

Natalie was very embarrassed to have her lie exposed in front of her. 

However, she refused to back down. She said indignantly, “So what? How many times have you lied to me? Compared to this lie. I’m no worse than you. 

Natalie’s rebuttal was eloquent yet playful. Trevon could only smile and look affectionately at her. “Yes, you’re the boss. I just missed you. I was afraid you’ll be drinking wine and can’t drive.” 

Rose was sitting opposite them. She was amused at the besotted Trevon. However, she did not say or do anything to disturb the couple. 

Sherri then turned to Hackett, who was sitting beside her. “Don’t say a word. I’ve been taking care of the child for so long Why can’t I come out and have some fun?” 

Although Sherri felt a little guilty, her commanding presence seemed to justify her actions. 

Hackett swallowed the words he wanted to say and smiled obsequiously. “You think too much, my dear. I’m just afraid you’ll drink too much, so I came to pick you up.” 

Everyone started laughing at Hackett. He was really good at mimicking what Trevon said. 

Rose finally could not take it anymore. She looked up at the two men. “Hey. I’m such a big girl. Can’t you see that I’m sitting alone? Am I invisible? Have you forgotten about your friends now that you have your girlfriends?” 

Trevon kept quiet as he did not want to argue with Rose. He continued caressing Natalie’s waist. 

Hackett had seen Rose in Frank’s photos, but he pretended to look surprised. “Isn’t this Rose? Oh, you’re back. I thought you were going to get married and settle down in Sapphire City” 

Rose disliked such hypocrisy. “Hmph. Ive been sitting here all this while, and you just realized that I’m present? Is Ruby your daughter?” 

At the mention of his daughter. Hackett became smug “Uh-huh, isn’t she cute?” 

Rose was quite a perceptive woman. When she saw Hackett and Trevon, she already knew their relationship. “She’s rather adorable In this aspect, you’re better than my brother.” 

Hackett scoffed. “Of course. Your brother doesn’t even have a girlfriend” 

Trevon glanced at Rose, who was sitting opposite him, his hand still on Natalie’s waist. “Aren’t you going home?” 

Rose was not as friendly to Trevon as she was to Hackett. She replied with a straight face, “No.” 

“Wow, you’re quick.” Frank held a toothpick between his teeth, both hands in his pockets. He was standing in front of 

Trevon. 

He then shot a look at the two men, thereby successfully seated himself beside Rose. “Looks like my bar has become a place for picnics.” 

“It’s a pretty cool place for picnics. You might want to consider going into this business.” 

Frank replied. “Do you want me to set up two tents for you then? It will be a different experience in the bar.” 

Trevon replied, “Keep it for yourself. You spent so much time and effort cheating people. Don’t waste this hard-earned money. No one will stay dumb forever. You won’t be able to cheat them all the time. Save the money for rainy days” 

Frank knew that he was referring to the incident involving Hackett, as well as those photos. He shrugged his shoulders. nonchalantly and lounged on the chair. He said to Rose. “Have you had enough fun? It’s midnight. I don’t have the money to buy skincare products for you” 

Rose looked at the group and knew it was not possible to proceed to the next venue. She was glad to be single. It was so much more carefree and liberating. She could do whatever she wanted. 

Nevertheless, she was surprised that Trevon liked Natalie 

In this vast world, as long as one’s imagination was wild enough, nothing was strange, 

Fortunately, Rose was very adaptable When she saw Trevon’s arm around Natalie’s, she was only shocked for a few seconds. 

Natalie was a good-looking lady When she first saw Natalie at Sapphire City. Rose already felt that Natalie deserved a lot more. She just did not expect Trevon to like Natalie. 

Frank soon noticed someone staring at him. He turned to Ava. “What’s the matter?” 

Ava blushed and shook her head. “Nothing” 

Just when Frank thought that was the end of their conversation, Ava said, “You’re so handsome,” 

Not used to being praised without warning. Frank’s toothpick fell from his mouth. A few seconds later, he replied calmly, “I know that. You don’t have to tell me.” 

Both Natalie and Sherri were shocked at his response. 

Rose did not interrupt them. Her gaze shifted back and forth between Frank and Ava. 

Ava smiled. “Buddy, we have the same taste.” 

Frank was stunned at her quick-witted response. 

Ava initially also wanted to ask Frank if he had a girlfriend. She decided she did not want to be a third party if he had a girlfriend. It would be a shameless thing to do. 

The girls had to end their party now that the men were there. 

Natalie drove Sherri’s car to the bar earlier. Now, Hackett was going to drive it back to Grand Manor. 

Ava sat in the back seat of the black Maybach while Trevon took the front passenger seat. Natalie was the driver. “Did Frank call you, or did your bodyguards inform you of my whereabouts?” 

Trevon replied calmly. “My men will never betray your whereabouts. They will only protect you. You don’t have to worry 

about this 

No doubt then, Natalie knew Frank was the one who informed Trevon where she was. 

Sitting in the back of the car, Ava was deep in thought. Shortly after, she leaned closer to the front and whispered, “TrevoIL can I ask you a question?” 

Trevon turned his body slightly and looked behind at Ava. He asked gently. “What do you want to know?” 

Ava took a deep breath and scratched her ear. “Does Frank have a girlfriend?”
