Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon) novel Chapter 26

The entrance to the Lovers' Cafe erupted with a commotion, and many young ladies exclaimed in delight.

"Oh my, is that a celebrity? He's so handsome!"

"Quick, let's take some pictures!"

"Oh, those two men in suits look so mysterious and cool."

"I prefer the sunny boy in the coat."

"I like them all!"

The entire hall was already abuzz with whispers, and numerous admiring glances were cast their way.

Three men entered, resembling stars in their own right.

Two were impeccably dressed in professional suits, towering above the crowd. Their faces displayed an icy aloofness as if they were untouchable and distant.

Their appearances were both frigid and unmatched, emanating an air of unapproachability.

However, the last one of them sported a beige reversible cashmere coat, exuding a handsome and cheerful aura. The corners of his mouth were always curled into a smile.

Hackett, who was always a woman killer, said, "Mr. Wilson, why are you suddenly in the mood to come here today?"

Trevon, who didn't want to respond to Hackett, wore a cold expression, showing disdain for Hackett's flirtatious and insincere smile.

The three individuals went to the second floor, opting for a private room. Although Hackett favored a livelier atmosphere, the other two preferred a quiet setting. In the end, the majority ruled, resulting in a 2-to-1 decision, and Hackett had to make compromises.

Trevon and Frank didn't like the bustling activity in the downstairs hall.

Meanwhile, Hackett, searching for a seat, spotted Natalie and Sherri by the window. Perhaps Sherri's vibrant red coat caught his attention at a glance.

Before Trevon could make his way upstairs, Hackett pulled him toward Natalie, and he was preparing to share a table with Natalie and Sherri.

Hackett noticed that the sofa they were sitting on could accommodate all three of them, with Natalie and Sherri seated opposite each other. This arrangement allowed Hackett to sit beside Natalie.

He was very confident in his plan.

"Come on. I see my crush. Let's go sit over there and join them at their table. It'll be funnier with more people."

Trevon and Frank simultaneously followed Hackett's gaze and looked in the direction Hackett was pulling them.

As expected, Natalie was there, sipping her coffee.

Frank turned to Trevon, raised an eyebrow, and looked meaningfully at the table in the corner.

Feeling their burning gazes, Natalie and Sherri, engrossed in conversation, raised their heads. Natalie appeared composed. After having just finished an argument with Trevon in the morning, she had already straightened out her thinking. However, Sherri was taken aback.

"I simply cannot engage in gossip or speak ill of others behind their backs. Well, speak of the devil. Here comes Trevon now!" she thought.

Natalie, somewhat immune to the presence of these people, kept her composure and chose not to pay them much attention. Instead, she lowered her head and sipped her coffee.

Observing her reaction, Trevon's mindset suddenly shifted gears.

He strode to approach her.

As Hackett was about to sit next to Natalie, his jacket collar was seized from behind, and he was pulled away. Then, Trevon took the seat beside Natalie.

Frank, who witnessed this scene, wasn't surprised. On the contrary, he found it amusing since Trevon appeared somewhat different now.

Frank didn't sit beside Sherri but instead pulled up a stool and sat on the other side.

Hackett took a deep breath, refraining from displaying his anger in front of his crush and tarnishing his image. He could only swallow his frustration.

Seeing that Hackett sat beside her, Sherri turned her head with extreme displeasure and asked, "Mr. Blackwell, did you have my consent to sit here?"

Holding his chin in his hands, Hackett gazed at Natalie with infatuation, disregarding Sherri as he retorted. "Would you mind if I sit here? Oh, not at all. Well then, I'll sit here."

Sherri remained speechless, wondering, "Was he just talking to himself? Something must be wrong with his mind, and he went out without medication." Sherri managed to stay calm as she reminded herself that he had got something on her.

Hackett was about to speak when the waiter arrived, leaving him no choice but to order his coffee first.

Just as the coffee arrived and Hackett prepared to resume his conversation with Natalie, Trevon abruptly interjected, "Allow me to introduce you to my newlywed wife, who is sitting beside me."

Natalie choked on her coffee, coughing uncontrollably.

Trevon, beside her, retrieved a piece of tissue and handed it to her.

She glanced at him with a puzzled expression, clearly conveying her message. "Are you out of your mind? We were just discussing divorce this morning, along with the matter of about 20 million dollars.

"What the hell are you up to now?"

Unexpectedly, Trevon suddenly moved so close to her ear, his warm breath caressing her cheek, causing a shiver to run down her spine. "I have informed my friend as well, so considering both sides as a breach of contract, we're even now."

Natalie stared at him, eyes wide and eyelashes fluttering, silently questioning him, "Could it be that I wouldn't have to pay you 20 million dollars? And what about divorce? What did that imply?"

Trevon found that it was so fun to tease her and was captivated by her adorable expression at this moment. An inexplicable sense of joy washed over him.

Once again, he moved closer and whispered in her ear as if he understood the language of her eyes. "You don't have to pay 20 million dollars. The divorce agreement is not finalized yet, and three months have not passed. Ending it early would also require you to pay the compensation, Mrs. Wilson."
