Chapter 384
The sun was hurriedly preparing to go home. It slowly descended from the west, leaving a blush before it set, dyeing the horizon red and leaving its trace.
After work the next day, Trevon first went to the Wilson’s residence to pick up Jasper. A man who took care of his family was adorable. Before Trevon and Jasper left, Rachel was still worried about her careless son. She repeatedly reminded Trevon to look after Jasper well. Before getting into the car, she even had Jasper use the restroom one more time so that he would not have to go to the toilet halfway.
She was attentive to every detail
Watching the back of the car as her son left, Rachel could not help but feel uneasy. Recently, she had been taking care of Jasper every day. Now that Jasper was gone, she felt that there was nothing to keep her busy anymore. She felt a sense of emptiness
Caleb reminded, ‘Alright. He’s almost 30 years old. How can he not be able to take care of such a young child? Don’t think that he’s useless. He’s changed quite a lot, Didn’t he bathe Jasper well last night? He didn’t scold the child either.”
With that said, Rachel’s heart calmed down. “He’s careless,” she said. “He’s already given his attention to his wife. He’s always careless when it comes to kids, and he doesn’t understand them.
Caleb smiled and said, “He’s a first-time dad. Everyone has their first time. It’s fine as long as he improves every day. Haven’t you noticed that your son is now able to accept other people’s opinions and opposing viewpoints? He has also learned to respect others. He’s no longer stubborn and arrogant. This is a good thing, and the credit goes to your daughter-in-law”
Of course, Rachel was well aware of this. Her son now had much more empathy and consideration toward others compared to before.
The car arrived at Athana Hospital. Jasper had been sitting in the safety chair in the back seat, holding a triangular Rubik’s cube and crossing his legs. When he saw the car stop, he stopped twisting the cube, looked up at Trevon, and said, “Daddy, Mommy.”
Trevon glanced at his leisurely cross-legged son through the rearview mirror. “Yes,” he said. “Pick up Mommy”
Jasper looked out of the car window in the direction of the hospital entrance, searching for his mother’s figure. After looking for a long while and not seeing the figure he missed, he shouted, “Mommy?”
Trevon said, ‘There are still eight minutes. Mommy hasn’t gotten off work yet
Jasper, who did not know what eight minutes meant, still replied like an adult “Okay,” he said.
Eight minutes later, Natalie. Sherri, and Rose walked out of the outpatient building side by side.
Sherri put her arm around Natalie’s shoulder and raised her chin in the direction of the black Maybach in the distance. “Your Old Trevon is here to pick you up,” she said. “Hurry up and go.”
Natalie patted Sherri’s hand and said with a smile, “If he finds out that you call him Old Trevon, I guess your devoted and virtuous husband may be in trouble.
Natalie continued, “Accompany me to try on the wedding dresses on Sunday. You all can try on the bridesmaid dresses.
“And Rose. Are you free this week?”
Natalie looked at Rose and asked.
Trevon said that the finished product would be released this Sunday. As for why the finished product could be ready so quickly, only Trevon knew.
Rose readily agreed. “What else do I have going on?’ she said. I’m not in a relationship, and I don’t have a career. During breaks, I just lounge around at home. You don’t have to worry about my schedule. I can be available whenever you need
Rose thought, “Am I not the one with the most free time?” Sherri and Natalie were already married and had an adorable child. Even her brother was in a relationship now. It seemed that she was the only one left with nothing to do every day.
“It’s true that I have quite some free time, but it’s liberating,” she thought. I’m free from any responsibilities and commitments. That’s pretty good”
“Okay,” Natalie said. ‘It’s settled then. Good buddies. Goodbye. Upon saying that. Natalie waved and walked toward the car.
Natalie opened the door of the back passenger seat and got in. As soon as she got in, she kissed her son on the cheek and asked him to kiss her. Jasper, reciprocate with a similar gesture,” she said. “Give Mommy a kiss.
gesture too.
Natalie glared at him. “Your benefits for this week have been canceled. You don’t have to reciprocate.”
Trevon knew that she was referring to the passionate incident from the previous night. Feeling pleased, he smiled and said, “I make sure I do not go overboard next time.”
She ignored him and continued to play with her son beside her. She pinched his little face or kissed him. The man in the driver’s seat looked over from time to time in envy.
Before coming to the Foster’s residence, Natalie did not inform Lena in advance. She was afraid that notifying Lena would make her busy. Lena would then keep looking at the clock.
The sound of the car pulling up and the engine tuming off alarmed Mel inside. When she saw the familiar car, she felt a little nervous. She hurriedly walked back to the living room to call Lena: “Lena, um, Miss Foster is here,” she said. “She’s here”
Lena immediately stood up from the recliner. She was old, and the rheumatism in her legs had been acting up recently. She endured the pain and walked outside.
Seeing Natalie, whom she had not seen for a few days. Lena walked even faster. Since returning to Sapphire City, Natalie had visited several times during her lunch break, bringing vitamins, healing ointments, and calcium tablets. She was concerned that Lena might not be getting adequate nutrition due to her advanced age.
“Natalie, why didn’t you tell me you are coming? Lena said. “I didn’t prepare anything”
Lena reproached affectionately
“Haha, I did it on purpose,” Natalie said. “I can’t let you know” Yes. Natalie intentionally did not want to tell Lena.
Mel was afraid of Trevon, but she still politely came to carry groceries. She took the vegetables and fruits from the trunk and carried them into the kitchen bit by bit.
When Natalie saw the diligent Mel, she smiled. Natalie carried Jasper out from the backseat. As Lena glanced at the handsome child, she was all smiles. She reached out to carry Jasper, saying. “Can I carry you for a while? I miss you so much. I haven’t seen you for a few days, and you’ve become even more handsome. You’ve inherited your parents’ good
genes.
Trevon called out nonchalandy, “Lena”
“Jeez, don’t stand outside, Lena said. “Quick, come in and take a seat.”
“Okay,” Trevon said as he followed behind.
Lena really missed Jasper, but she was used to living here. Jasper, what do you want to eat or play with?” she said. “I’ll get it for you, okay? Just tell me.”
Natalie knew that Lena doted on Jasper, so she did not object. Natalie smiled faintly and looked at everything. Suddenly. Trevon said to Mel, ‘Call Jim over for dinner.
Mel seemed to have heard something astonishing. She replied, “Huh?”
Trevon merely uttered this remark. He did not utter a second remark. “A married man should minimize interaction with other women,” he thought..
Natalie looked at the slow-witted Mel, who was at a loss for words. She comforted Mel, saying. “Do you have Mr. Hawk’s number? If y
you
you may call him and ask him to come over for dinner.
“Oh, right, Mel said. “I have. I have his number
Mel turned around and left the house like a thief. She went to the courtyard to make a call.
Natalie raised her head to look at the calm-looking Trevon. “Couldn’t you make the call?” she said. “Why did you ask Mel to make the call?”
“Besides, he is your subordinate, Natalie thought. “Can’t this be resolved with just a few words?”
“Save power?” Trevon said concisely. He uttered just two outrageous words.
Natalie gave Trevon a look as if to say, “You could make your excuse sound even more lame: Seeing that his wife did not believe him. Trevon added, “They’re more familiar with each other”
Natalie sensed that there was some juicy information, so she wanted to dig deeper. However, Mel walked in just then. Natalie felt awkward asking gossip-related questions in front of the person involved, so she let it go. She decided to inquire later. Being polite mattered after all.
Jim did not understand the meaning behind Mel’s gaze. He frowned slightly and squinted to ask what she meant.
When Jim came in, Natalie and Trevon directed their gazes at him. Looking at their exchange of glances, Natalie seemed to know why Trevon called Jim to come over for dinner.
Natalie speculated that there might be something going on.
Trevon was playing with the triangular Rubik’s Cube that his son had casually thrown on the table. He leaned sideways on the sofa and crossed his legs. He nonchalantly asked Jim, who had just entered, a question. “You’re quite smart, huh?” he said.
Confused, Jim asked uneasily. “Mr. Wilson, have I done something wrong?”
Trevon remained silent, leaving Jim to guess for himself.
Jim racked his brain. I don’t think I’ve made any mistakes recently, he thought. His work had been well organized. Currently, he did not even chat with the people in the secretary’s office. He dedicated himself to making money every day, preparing to move to a bigger house.
After thinking for a while, there seemeil to be no mistakes. “Mr. Wilson, can you give me a hint Jim asked.
Trevon glanced at Natalie, who was watching the scene unfold, and said playfully, “Are you in a relationship?”
Hearing this. Mel, who was standing at the side, blushed. Slowly, her ears turned red as well. She was so nervous that she had nowhere to put her hands. Both Trevon and Natalie noticed these reactions.
Lena did not pay much attention to such matters Recently, her legs were not in good condition, and she always lay down to rest. Naturally, she did not notice anything unusual, or perhaps, they were being quite discreet.
Jim understood. He touched the back of his head and chuckled. He said, “Haha. I am in a relationship,“
Trevon seized the rare opportunity for gossip. He inquired further. Bring her out so that I can give her a gift.”
Jim quickly turned down Trevon’s offer. “It’s okay” he said. “You’ve already given me quite a lot
Trevon sticered and said, “Well, indeed, I’ve given you quite a lot. You’re quite good at choosing people. I pay the salary. and you’re taking advantage. You’re quite smart.”
”
Natalie could not take it anymore. She patted the man beside her on the arm and said, “Stop teasing them. You’ve got them both looking so puzzled. Mr. Hawk, he’s just joking with you.”
Trevon asked bluntly. How many days have both of you been together?”
Jim cleared his throat and said, “Less than a month.”
