Chapter 319
The wind at the end of spring was not as cool, and the warmth of summer made people slightly sweaty.
In Sapphire City, the temperature outdoors was indeed several degrees higher than that in Athana.
The family of three sat on a tricycle and circled the old town of Sapphire City. The driver was sweating profusely, making Natalie feel a little guilty.
She had originally wanted to rent two tricycles. After all, Trevon was quite heavy, and this kind of physical work was footwork. However, Trevon had offered a lot of money. The driver took it and said that it was a piece of cake. Then, he threw a towel on his shoulder and wiped his sweat as he rode.
The tricycle stopped at an antique street. The driver introduced, “Sir, this is the most crowded place in the tourist area. You can take a look around. It’s quite memorable. Every place is antique and preserves traces of history.”
Trevon was wearing a white Polo short-sleeved shirt and sweatpants. He held an umbrella in one hand and Jasper in the other. The father and son were both wearing cool sunglasses. Jasper was also wearing a macaroni-colored baseball cap.
It was like the arrival of a big shot and his mini version.
Natalie thanked the driver after paying. She hid under the umbrella and hugged Trevon’s arm. “Let’s go over there. There are quite a lot of people over there. Let’s go and see what they’re selling.”
Actually, Trevon did not like crowded places. It was not only crowded but also chaotic. However, his wife liked it, and his son liked it, so he followed them. In addition, it was a rare opportunity to travel together.
On one side of the ancient town was a bridge. The entire ancient town was surrounded by flowing water. The clear sound of flowing water was very pleasant to the ears. Perhaps this was what people said about the beautiful and pleasant scene in a good-looking small town.
Every house retained its oldest charm. Whether it was the bridge or the ground, or the houses, they were all antique, making people want to step forward and explore.
Jasper was very curious. His small eyes rolled around as he handsomely pushed up his sunglasses and muttered, “Beautiful.”
Trevon glanced at the little boy in his arms. “You actually know that it’s beautiful. It’s because they are colorful, right?”
Jasper wanted to tell Trevon that he really thought it was beautiful. He said in his childish voice again. “Daddy, beautiful.”
Natalie looked at her son who had a firm gaze and retorted, “That might not be the case. Perhaps Jasper likes this kind of antique.”
The two of them came out alone behind Ava’s back. Their original intention was not to disturb the only time she had with Frank. Natalie knew that although Ava did not promise Frank verbally, she had already given up resisting in her heart. It was no different from agreeing now. Frank would go to school with her, and Ava was especially happy every day when she came back. She was either holding her computer or her phone at home. She looked like she was purely in love, so there was no need for her to agree.
Originally, Natalie wanted to call Sherri today, but Trevon didn’t want others to disturb the atmosphere, so they secretly came out and abandoned Hackett and his family.
At the thought of this, Natalie held Trevon’s arm affectionately and walked forward. The umbrella covered the warm light that wanted to penetrate. “By the way, Trevon, Sherri said that she wants to hold a wedding together with us. What do you think?”
Trevon’s eyes darkened. He didn’t want to hold a wedding together. What was the difference between it and organizing a shopping spree? He rejected it without hesitation. “No.”
He lowered his eyes and met her gentle gaze. He lowered his voice. His hands were really occupied. Otherwise, he really wanted to hold her waist. Why was the sun shining in such weather? Wouldn’t it be better if it was cloudy? “I don’t plan to do it twice. I want to give you a unique halo for a once-in-a-lifetime matter. You should be the only protagonist. You can let her be your bridesmaid, but there can’t be two protagonists.”
Trevon’s words were very calm, but they could not be refuted or changed. This was something he could not compromise with. He could form a team to play, but he could not form a team to get married.
Natalie could already feel the determination in his eyes and tone. When it was her first time attending a wedding, she was a bride, so she did not know that weddings could not be held together. Alright, since that was the case, she could only say sorry to Sherri.
There shouldn’t be a woman who didn’t want a unique wedding, right?
“Alright. I’ll follow your words. Mr. Wilson, remember your words. I want to see what kind of wedding you’ll give me.”
“I guarantee that you’ll be satisfied, Mrs. Wilson.”
They looked at each other and smiled. It was all in the words. Some gentleness and love could be understood with a word, a look, or even a gesture. They didn’t even need to say a sentence. Perhaps this was love.
While they were strolling around, Trevon also shared with her about Frank giving Joseph the secret defense map. Ava’s matter was almost certain. It was better to confess as soon as possible. If one day, she found it out, Frank would be criticized again.
Natalie was shocked again after hearing this. Frank was really taking every step carefully. He was getting closer to Ava step by step and had come up with a foolproof plan. He had even gotten Joseph’s approval. Could Ava still escape from his grasp?
As Natalie was thinking, she saw a man sneakily approaching a girl from the corner of her eye. The more Natalie looked at him, the more she felt that something was amiss. She narrowed her eyes and stopped in her tracks.
Trevon observed the direction of the woman beside him and followed her gaze. He frowned slightly and was about to remind her. “You…”
Natalie had already dashed into the crowd and chased after the man. “Catch the thieff Catch the thief! My phone was stolen…”
It was only now that the girl realized that her bag had been stolen.
Everyone looked in the direction and saw a woman wearing a T-shirt and jeans smashing her baby bag on the man who was running.
The distance was too far. The bag only touched a little of his body before falling to the ground. Natalie looked around and found a shortcut that could block the thief. She jumped nimbly to the side of the river. Trevon’s eyes darkened when he saw
this.
However, his hands were already occupied Jasper kept praising Natalie in his arms. “Mom, great.”
Hearing this, his temples throbbed. He knew that the thief was no match for Natalie. It would only take a few minutes for him to be caught, but it was really dangerous to jump around. It was very easy for her to get injured.
It turned out that the wildness that had been suppressed in her bones had never dissipated. This reminded him of a night two years ago. On the way home, she had beaten a few people. At that time, he had turned off the lights and watched the show, making Jim anxious.
After being with him, she seemed to have become very gentle, and her personality had become soft. It made him forget the woman who was even admired by Jim in the past.
He remembered how Jim described her. She was cool and valiant. Wasn’t this the case? The woman he liked stepped on the thief with one foot and slapped the back of his head a few times before rudely snatching back her bag.
Natalie, the brave woman, kept dusting the baby bag in her hand. She even tidied her hair. The girl whose bag was stolen thanked her profusely. “Thank you, Miss. You’re so awesome. Were you an athlete before
Natalie’s lips curved. “Maybe it’s because my legs are long. In the future, don’t pur your phone in your bag when there are many people.”
Such backpacks could easily be stolen and not discovered when carried behind one’s back.
“Thank you, Miss. You’re not only good-looking but also kind.”
“Do I still have to praise you?” Trevon was very helpless.
Natalie shrugged. “That’s not necessary. If you really want to praise me, I’ll accept it. Let’s see how you praise me.”
Trevon was speechless.
When Natalie saw that his expression had turned colder, her joking tone changed. “Don’t be angry. You know that I could catch up. I’d already considered the safety range before I started to run. With you and Jasper, I’ll definitely think twice before doing anything. Look, I am fine, aren’t 12”
Trevon knew that she was coaxing him. He clearly knew that she had never considered it before she took a step forward, but he still fell for her trick. His brows relaxed.
Jasper lay on Trevon’s shoulder and secretly gave Natalie a thumbs-up.
The mother and son were communicating in a language that Trevon did not know. They were secretly laughing.
At Sapphire City University, Ava stayed in the library for a few hours. In the beginning, she was embarrassed to be held by Frank’s hand and lectured. It was difficult for her to focus. From time to time, she would look at their crossed hands, and the temperature on her cheeks would rise again.
Her cheeks kept cooling down and then blushing again.
Gradually, she was attracted by the topic he was talking about and forgot that her hand was being held.
The people in the library left one after another. Frank turned to look at his watch and realized that it was already 11:30 am. Ile reminded her, “What do you want to eat?”
“Huh? What?” Ava, who was still immersed in the book, asked.
“Lunch. It’s past 11 now”
the phone and looked at the time on the screen. She realized that it was a little late. She looked around and realized that the number of people had unknowingly decreased. She never knew that there would be a day when she could quietly
