Chapter 262
After leaving the house, Jim drove in the direction of Evergreen Gardens. The partition was raised again.
He quietly became an invisible person once again.
The day was getting dark, and the dark night shrouded the bustling city. The scenery outside the car window flashed past for a moment. It could not be grasped or kept, and could only be seen.
It was very quiet in the back seat. Jasper was still working on the Rubik’s Cube. His hands kept moving, and he was extremely serious. He was so serious that Trevon and Natalie could not bear to disturb him.
After looking at the scenery for a while, Natalie felt a little sleepy She closed her eyes and leaned on Trevon’s shoulder before falling asleep.
When he saw that she was tired, he moved his shoulders closer to her side and sat a little lower. He lowered himself so that she was more comfortable to lean against His hand naturally rested on her waist as he patted her gently. “Do you want me to hold you while you sleep?”
Not fully asleep yet, she mumbled, “No.”
Her son was still here. Why was he hugging her to sleep? To think he could think of such a thing
Just as she rejected him, the phone in her hand rang. She opened her sleepy eyes and lowered her gaze. She unlocked the phone with one hand as her head was still leaning against his shoulder.
It was a message from Ava. “Sis, I’m home. Don’t worry.”
After reading the first message, before she could reply, the second message came immediately. “Sis, I’ve deleted Frank’s contact information. I won’t contact him anymore. He doesn’t like me, and I don’t want to be the person he hates. Enough is enough.”
After reading this message, Natalie didn’t know how to reply. She searched her mind for suitable words. A male voice above her head said, “Don’t know how to reply?”
Her head rose from his shoulder. Her neck was a little sore. As soon as she raised her hand, Trevon’s hand slowly moved from her waist to her neck to massage her. It was as if he could guess her thoughts. It was very comfortable and the strength was just right. When someone massaged her, she focused on chatting with Ava.
To answer Trevon’s question, she said, “Yes, I don’t know what to say. Ava is really sad this time. This is her first time pursuing someone, but she didn’t get any response.”
It was normal for someone to not get a reaction from the person he or she was pursuing.
Indeed, people were biased. Ava was her younger sister, so she naturally felt a little heartache for Ava. Frank wasn’t the one to blame when he refused Ava. He had the right to choose.
However, it took a lot of courage for a girl to summon the courage and confess to a boy in front of so many people. Even though Ava was cheerful and direct, she was still a girl after all, it was inevitable that she would be hurt. It was expected that she would be hurt if she had
some expectations.
Natalie thought for a while and typed a message. “I’ll support whatever decision you make.”
After a few minutes, Ava replied, “Sis, I love you, xxx.”
“Rest early. You’ve been on the plane for so long today. Rest well so that you can defeat the enemy” Natalie typed her reply.
Ava sent a “roger that” sticker. It was a little cartoon saluting pose. The image of Ava saluting automatically appeared in Natalie’s mind. It was. lively, cute, and playful.
Ava sent a message to the Fairy Fortress group chat to inform them that she was safe. Then, she received stickers from Rose and Sherri.
Natalie saw that there was no reply and pressed on the edge of her phone. The screen Instantly turned black. She then said to herself, “I want to go to Sapphire City to cheer for Ava when the competition starts.”
As expected, Trevon said, “Sure, I’ll accompany you. “He wanted to tag along so that he could propose.
Natalie didn’t refuse. Instead, she teased, “It’s not impossible. I’ll bring you to see Sapphire City Base and my uncle’s house. You couldn’t enter before, right?”
Her words were heart-wrenching and firing.
The tip of Trevon’s tongue pressed against his molars. His eyes were fixed on the woman who was openly teasing him. He smiled terrifyingly “Natalie, you’re provoking me.”
Natalie spread her hands casually and said innocently, “But I can’t help it. What I said seems to be the truth. I’m kind enough to bring you to take a look. Is that a problem?”
“Alright, looks like this woman is beginning to tease me. Have I been doting on her too much?” wondered Trevon.
He reached out and pinched the back of her soft neck. It was much heavier than when he was massaging her She turned her hand and elbowed him in his chest. He quickly grabbed her hand, and she freed her other hand to exchange blows with him.
The two of them went back and forth, completely forgetting that there was a little guy in the car At this moment, Jasper was no longer playing with the Rubik’s Cube He was watching what he thought was a fight “Come on
Hearing this the two of them stopped what they were doing and smiled at each other before letting go.
Natalie glared at Trevon and then said gently to his son, “Mommy is playing with Daddy, not fighting”
Jasper nodded, not fully understanding
The car stopped at the parking space for Evergreen Gardens during the fight.
After Jim got out of the car, he felt very uneasy. He didn’t know if he should unload the suitcase down or not.
Ethan had already followed Joseph back to Sapphire City Back then, he had left him here to guard against wolves. Now that the wolves had already entered the nest, he was naturally transferred back.
Trevon opened the door and got out of the car. He instructed Jim, “Unload the suitcase and you can go back.”
“Thank god. I had no intention of going home with you,” thought Jim.
Hearing this, he quickly unloaded the luggage and got into the car. He stepped on the accelerator and drove straight to the entrance of the community
“Who the hell is he running from?” wondered Natalie.
Trevon frowned slightly as he watched the Maybach leave. He retracted his gaze and said, “Let’s go. Give me the child.”
Carrying Jasper in one hand and holding Natalie in the other, and Natalie pushed her suitcase with her other hand. The three of them walked into the elevator.
He had no intention of letting go of her hand. “25” he said in a low voice.
Natalie let go of the suitcase handle and reached out her index finger to press the number 25. The number on the display kept jumping from 1 to 25. With a ding, the elevator door opened.
Trevon walked to the door of a suite with ease before letting go of her hand and pressing his fingerprint to the fingerprint lock. The door opened with a click and he reached out to hold Natalie again. Their fingers intertwined as he led her into the room.
After entering, he let go of her hand and placed Jasper on the ground. He said gently to him, “Go play in that room over there. There are many toys inside.”
When Natalie heard that, she looked in the direction he was pointing and realized that it was a children’s room. The door of the room was open, and he could see that there were many toys inside. There were Transformers, Ultraman, motorbike models…
She looked around and realized that this spacious suite had everything. However, there were also two rooms. One was the master bedroom, and the other was the children’s room.
The layout of the kitchen and dining room was large enough to accommodate more than ten people. Was he planning to have a gathering? In Natalie’s opinion, this design was very unreasonable. The space was wasted.
It was a pity the living room was so big. She wasn’t sure if it felt too empty, but there was a huge leather sofa placed there. She suspected that Trevon didn’t sleep on the bed at night, but on the sola
She really wanted to know which designer designed it and whether the designer was an amateur.
After a while, Trevon leaned against the door with his hands in his pockets. He watched her look around without blinking. After a while, he said. “Do you like it?”
She turned around. Although she was smiling, the confusion on her face was obvious. “When did you buy this house?”
He straightened up and answered honestly, ‘Before you left the country”
Actually, he didn’t even realize his original intention of buying this. He just wanted to get closer to her. If he had known his intentions, wouldn’t his daughter have been able to run around as well by now?
Her chest constricted with an indescribable feeling He had a lot of houses. Adare Manor was the marital home that Mr. Wilson had bought for them, but he still had his own detached villa. So why buy this? Had he bought it for her two years ago?
He knew that she was puzzled. He walked closer and pulled her into his arms. He wrapped his arms tightly around her and rested his chin on the top of her head. His deep voice came from above her head. “After you left Adare Manor, you lived in Edward’s house, so I bought this house here.”
She suddenly raised her head, and a tacit understanding formed in that second. When she raised her head, he seemed to know that she was going to raise her head and stood up straight.
She looked slightly pleased with herself, as if she had discovered a new continent. “Are you jealous and not aware of it? Otherwise, it’s hard for me to understand why you bought this house.”
His lips curved slightly as he mocked himself. “Yes.”
She asked again. “When I left two years ago, Mr. Wilson came to the airport. You didn’t.”
After a few seconds of silence, she regretted bringing this up.”‘I went,” said Trevon. He had even been laughed at by his own grandfather in the
car
“Huh? You went? But I didn’t see you.”
Trevon was a little embarrassed. He rubbed the tip of his nose with his index finger. “I had something on and left. You probably didn’t see me.”
She was dubious. “Is that so?”
He did not want to continue this topic at all. He took her by the waist and led her into the master bedroom. “Look, this is our room. See if there’s anything you need to change. I’ll arrange it tomorrow.”
The color scheme of the master bedroom was the same as the room she stayed in at Adare Manor. It was clean and comfortable without too many colors. It was just that there were so many switches on the wall.
She looked at the bed. It seemed to be bigger than the one in Adare Manor. She did not know if it was her imagination.
She felt that the design of this suite was very strange. There were many things that she could not describe, but she could not find anything strange about it
For example, there were many switches on the walls, there were only two rooms, the dining room was huge, and the sofa was as big as a big…
She walked out of the master bedroom. She had no intention of sleeping with him at night. Trevon had agreed to go to the Wilson’s residence the next day. She did not want to be watched like a monkey when she walked with a strange posture.
She walked straight to Jasper’s room. There was a dazzling array of toys. They were all toys that boys should have. “I’ll sleep with Jasper tonight. I need to rest.”
The man’s face darkened at those words. The disappointment was visible in his eyes. “Are you sure?”
Natalie touched his son’s head and stood up. “Yes, I’m doing this for your own good. I’m afraid you’ll die from overwork.”
Trevon smiled “Why do you care so much about me? My stamina is very good. You can rest assured about this. Didn’t I say that I wanted to exercise with you?”
What exercise? Was this the exercise she was talking about? Natalie refused. “I’m going to the Wilson’s residence tomorrow. I advise you to stop thinking about it.”
