Chapter 248
A few hours later, they arrived at Grand Manor.
After spending time together on the island, everyone returned to their rooms subconsciously. Ava was exhausted after sitting in the car for so long. She waved at Natalie, saying that she was going back to Joseph’s room to catch up on her sleep.
The room that Trevon had booked had been taken by Hackett’s family. Nonetheless, he was happy that it had been taken.
Jim rode with Terrell on the way back. He was already waiting at the entrance of Grand Manor when they arrived.
Trevon walked into the room with Jasper in one hand and Natalie’s hand in his other hand. After Jim brought their luggage up for them, he left quickly as he was afraid that he would see something he shouldn’t.
After Jim left, Trevon put Jasper down on the sofa in the living room and turned on Scooby-Doo for him on the TV. He instructed, “Watch for half an hour and then take your nap.”
As he spoke, he took a clock over and pointed at it. He told Jasper when he should turn off the TV and go back to the room for his nap.
Jasper looked at the clock seriously. Although he did not know what half an hour was, he still agreed obediently to his father’s order. “Okay.”
After settling his son down, Trevon walked into the room. Natalie was sorting out the things in the suitcase. He walked over and wrapped his arms around her waist. “Honey”
Natalie, who was hanging clothes in the wardrobe, turned around “What is it? What do you want now?”
Hearing this, Trevon smiled. He was gentle last night. Why was Natalie so guarded against him? “Honey, I’m not sex-crazed. nor am I an animal that only thinks about lovemaking. 1 am not in heat all the time.”
Hearing his explanation, she burst out laughing. After hanging up the clothes, she turned around and wrap her arms slowly. around his neck. She looked up at him. Their eyes met, and she said, “Did I misunderstand you then? It’s your fault for always thinking about sex.”
He teased her all the time. Could she be blamed for thinking the worst?
Trevon smiled faintly and leaned down to rub the tip of his nose against hers. His eyes were filled with affection. “My bad. It’s mainly because I can’t resist you.”
She blushed and smiled, then stood on her tiptoes and quickly kissed him on his cheek.
After being in a daze for a few seconds. Trevon finally came back to his senses. His eyes were filled with affection as he said hoarsely, “Honey, you’re making me not want to go out.”
Natalie acted as if she was facing a great enemy. She pinched him on his waist in an attempt to wake him up. “Trevon, be sensible. Our son is just outside of the room.”
Trevon smiled and asked teasingly, “Can we do it tonight then?”
He leaned closer and whispered into her reddened ears, “I can never have enough of you.”
After saying that, he retreated and distanced himself a little. Seeing that Natalie was blushing harder and harder, he was in an inexplicably good mood. The first description of her that popped up in his mind was “cute”.
Some said that if a man found a girl cute, he had already fallen for her. He had already accepted all her flaws. Even if she was troublesome or throwing a tantrum, he would still think that she was being cute,
Natalie did not agree or refuse. She hugged his neck and provoked, “It depends on how energetic you are.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled meaningfully. It was as if they had a tacit understanding.
Trevon was in a good mood. He pecked the corner of her lips a few times and said hoarsely, ‘Im going out for a while. I won’t be back for dinner. Eat with Ava and the others. If you need anything, just call Jim or go to the manager. Of course, you can also call me.”
Natalie wasn’t the kind of girl who turned clingy as soon as she had sex with a man. She understood very well that they both needed to work on their own careers. No matter how loving they were, they should give each other space. “Got it.”
One would truly understand the importance of a career when one had to ask his or her partner for money all the time.
After Trevon left, Natalie turned off Jasper’s television and asked him to take a nap. The boy kept his promise and really climbed into bed himself. He tucked himself in and closed his eyes for his nap.
Trevon went straight to Lithern Club after leaving Grand Manor. He pushed the door of Frank’s office open and found that it was empty. It seemed that Frank had not come to work yet.
He sat down on Frank’s chair and took out a box of chewing gum from his pocket. He popped one into his mouth and chewed slowly.
He leaned lazily against the back of Frank’s chair. It was quite comfortable No wonder Frank always liked to sit. His hands were restless and turned on Frank’s computer absent-mindedly.
The screen could only be unlocked with a password. It seemed that Frank was hiding something in it. Even though Trevon could always hack into it, he did not do so. He pushed the mouse away out of boredom.
He rested his legs on the table and leaned his head back against the back of the chair. Then, he closed his eyes to take a rest.
About half an hour later, Frank pushed the door open slowly. He did not stride in immediately Instead, he leaned lazily against the door frame and looked at the man who was in his seat
Trevon had already changed into a suit and leather shoes. He had taken off his jacket and hung it on the back of the chair. He had unbuttoned the buttons at the cuffs of his white shirt, revealing his tanned skin. The blue wristwatch on his wrist was exposed in the air He looked noble and unapproachable.
It was hard to imagine that such a man would one day be bound by love.
After pausing for a while, Frank still did not walk further into the room. He leaned against the door frame and slowly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He shook it twice, took out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth. Then, he lit it up with the lighter with a click.
Trevon had known that Frank was there from the moment he heard his footsteps. However, he had been silent the entire time. Now, he said with his eyes still closed, “Are you guarding the door?”
Frank took a drag of his cigarette and threw the black sweater that had been hanging on his shoulder on the sofa. He strode. into the office and walked up to the desk. He leaned casually on the desk as he said to Trevon face-to-face. Tm just giving you a chance to take over.”
At his words, Trevon opened his eyes and looked at Frank, who was smoking and covered in mist. “Did you take your sister home?”
Frank replied indifferently. “You’ve finished getting all lovey-dovey with your ex-wife. How can I not have enough time to send her off?”
Trevon didn’t answer. He just smiled faintly. The top two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, and the scratches on his neck were clearly visible. Frank’s sharp eyes noticed that at once and he knew what happened immediately. “Oh. You had fun last night.”
Trevon touched his neck subconsciously. “Do you have a problem with that?”
Frank took a long drag of his cigarette and blew out a huge smoke ring in Trevon’s direction. He then stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray. “Why would I have a problem with that, as long as you weren’t having fun with me? I wouldn’t even care if you have fun for three days and nights in a row, as long as your ex-wife can withstand your torture.”
Trevon kicked him with the foot that was propped on the table. “Get lost, I don’t like men.”
Frank said, “I know. You don’t have to repeat yourself. I don’t have the habit of watching it live. You don’t have to invite me to prove it.”
Trevon replied. “In your dreams.”
Frank glanced at his chair and said, “Aren’t you also dreaming? By sitting in my chair, are you trying to take over?”
Trevon thought to himself, “Do I look like I’m interested in his office? What nonsense is he talking about?”
Frank changed the topic. He jumped down from the desk and walked straight to the safe. He entered the password and took out a file from within before closing it again.
He then threw the documents on the table. “Take a look.”
