Chapter 340
April was about to quietly climb up. The weather at the end of March was very comfortable. The sun was very good, the breeze was not dry, and there was no rain. Even everyone’s face was smiling.
Today, Natalie Foster and Trevon Wilson spent the day with heavy hearts. It could be said that they had been waiting for the entire day to pass.
Perhaps Natalie was waiting. Trevon wanted to press the pause button and did not want time to continue.
Time had always been merciless. It would not rewind or freeze at a certain moment just because you were unhappy. The time that should have passed would still pass. Only the clock could be taken off the battery and stop ticking.
This was nothing more than self-deception. The time that should slip away would still slip away. By the time you woke up, a day might have passed. Time was so heartless. You should accept it.
Evergreen Gardens.
Because Natalie wasn’t sure what was in the diary, Trevon knew what was in it and suggested staying in Evergreen Gardens for the next few days.
Natalie naturally believed Trevon’s condition after he read the content, so she agreed to come back and deal with the emotions that were about to happen.
In the master bedroom, Trevon and Natalie were all sitting on the bed in the same type of pajamas. Natalie was sitting with her legs curled up and crossed, looking like she was preparing to go to war.
Trevon glanced at her and sat close to her. He heaved a sigh of relief.
With a complicated look in his eyes, he asked, ‘Natalie, have you really thought it through? The content of it might not be something you can accept.
This sentence revealed several pieces of information. The first was that he had read it and even knew the cause and effect. The second was the content was not happy, but sad.
She took a deep breath. She had never lived in a daze. She was determined to take a look and find out the truth. Tve thought it through. Yes
Without saying a word, he pursed his lips and reached out his well-defined hands to open the password lock of the diary in just a few seconds. The lock was easy for him. “Shall I accompany you or should I leave?”
He respected her. If she wanted to be quiet, he would automatically become invisible. If she needed company, he would quietly accompany her.
She was silent for a second, but the diary had not been opened yet. She looked up and gave him a reassuring smile. “I’m not fragile. It’s fine. Go to the study. I’ll call you when I’m ready.”
“Okay.” Trevon said and got out of bed. He opened the door and left the room.
Inside the room, Natalie carefully opened the first page of the diary. She reached out and touched her grandfather’s handwriting Outside the door. Trevon leaned against the door with his arms crossed. He did not leave.
He didn’t want to leave at all.
Three hours later.
In the room, Natalie could no longer hold back her emotions. She hugged the diary to her chest and covered her heart. Her legs were together and curled up, her chin buried between her knees.
She bent one hand and placed her index finger between her lips. Her lips wrapped around the entire bent index finger joint, and her teeth even bit her index finger. She used this method to suppress her emotions and did not dare to cry loudly.
There was a bloody bite on her finger, and the complicated emotions in her body were difficult to suppress. Every emotion was coming out. Some were disappointed, some were sad, some were difficult to accept, and there were also the thoughts of her grandfather…
As droplets of water soaked the pajamas at her knees and stained the color, a little emotion was released, or perhaps just a little.
In the room, she thought that she was already very quiet, so the person in the study definitely couldn’t hear her. Little did she know that Trevon had not left for a few hours and was leaning against the door.
A faint cry came from the room. Although the sound was very soft, Trevon who had been standing outside the door heard it. He did not open the door. His eyes were slightly red as he stood motionless. His back was leaning against the door as he
bore the burden with her.
Invisible companionship.
When the person in the room was tired from crying, Trevon reached out to grab the door handle and opened the door. He
strode in and saw that she had already sorted out her emotions and was looking at him in a daze.
Being gazed at by her made Trevon uneasy. A moment later, she asked seriously. “Could you show me the contents of your study’s safe?”
The sudden request stunned him. He wanted to know where he had revealed his flaws. After thinking about how smart she was, he could no longer hide it. Since he could not hide it, they would bear it together. “Okay, but I have a request.”
Natalie replied calmly with a nasal voice. Her red and swollen eyes could not hide her crying. “Yes.”
“I have to watch the documents and videos with you. After you’re done, you have to be by my side at all times. You have to tell me where you go.” This was the prerequisite for her to see.
There was a video?
In just a few seconds, she agreed readily “Okay”
When she agreed, he suggested, “There’s a video. Let’s watch it in the study
Natalie did not think too much and immediately got off the bed. Trevon hugged her waist and pulled her into his arms. He even patiently wiped the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes. His heart ached.
When he reached the study, he sat her down on the chair at the head of the table and patted her hair. Then, he went to the safe to get the file folder that he had brought back from Frank Roberts.
After taking it out of the safe, he held it in his hand for a while before finally turning around and putting it on the table. He helped to open it, and yellowed documents appeared in front of Natalie without reservation.
She glanced at the time in the lower right corner and realized that it was 15 years ago, which was when she was ten years old. It was also the year her mother jumped off the building and her grandparents got into a car accident.
Before she could look, her back stiffened, as if she had already guessed what it was.
Trevon’s gaze was fixed on the USB drive Naturally, he sensed her hesitation and said in a low voice. “If you don’t want to watch, we won’t watch Natalie, you don’t have to make the past clear. If it’s happier to be a little muddle-headed, I hope you’re muddle-headed”
The silence lasted for several minutes. As for the exact time. Trevon did not press the stopwatch.
Her gaze was very certain. She no longer had hesitation and timidity like before. “Trevon, I want to see it. I don’t want to pretend to be confused I want to figure things out and live well with you for the rest of my life?
Trevon didn’t say a word. He spread out the documents one by one and placed them in front of her in order. She seemed to be looking at other people’s documents and asked questions from time to time. So from the documents, Grandpa already knew that my mother’s death was caused by Elena Foster and Harry Foster fifteen years ago My mother didn’t cheat, and Grandpa found evidence of my mother’s parents deaths. It’s just that Grandpa can’t put justice before family, right?”
Trevon still did not say anything. He was very afraid of Natalie’s current reaction. He would rather Natalie cry like before and vent her dissatisfaction Clearly, she did not have any intention of crying. There was still a bitter smile on her lips. There was also helplessness and a hunt of hiding
His heart ached so much that it felt like a ball of cotton was stuffed into his chest.
Trevon’s reaction had already let Natalie know that this was what had happened. Trevon had told her everything about Harry and Elena when they went to jail, including why they treated her so badly, why they misunderstood her mother’s affair why Elena could enter the house, why her maternal grandfather and the others passed away, why her mother jumped off a building, why Harry only liked Elena for so many years and everything else.
The only thing he did not say was that her grandfather already knew the truth. This was really a surprise that made her speechless
After the finished reading all the information, she waited expressionlessly to watch the video. Trevon inserted the USB drive into the computer and clicked on the mouse to open the folder. “Watch them one by one or watch the last one first. The last one is Grandpa’s self-report”
She was no longer surprised that he had watched, and he no longer hid what he was hiding.
“The last one.”
She hit the left key twice heavily and an old man with black and white hair appeared on the computer screen. In just a second. Natalie, who had been holding back, burst into tears. She missed her grandfather, but this thought was not so pure now. It was as if something was changing.
Did the hate him? No
Did she complain? Yes.
She did not want to admit it, but she did have the intention to blame her grandfather. If her grandfather could put righteousness before family, would she not have been beaten up when she was young? Would she not have been morted? Would she not have had to hide in the basement to train? Would she… There were many possibilities. There were no
