After washing up, Natalie prepared to go downstairs to make something to eat.
Natalie could ask Jim later.
Natalie stopped walking down the stairs. A figure that could not be ignored suddenly caught her eye, and she was stunned.
The man's gaze turned to the staircase from the moment Natalie opened the door.
Their eyes met, and their emotions were unclear.
Trevon broke the stalemate first. "You're awake. You slept quite long. If you don't wake up, I'm going to poke your nose to test if you die."
Natalie's awkward heart calmed down a little when she heard Trevon's teasing. She walked down the stairs in her slippers. "Are you afraid that I'll die at your house? Aren't you going to work today?"
It was almost 2 pm, and this person was still at home. It was a little strange. Natalie really suspected that the Wilson Group was about to go broke.
Trevon, who had no idea what this woman was thinking, flipped through the magazine as if nothing had happened. "Let's go back to the Wilson's residence for dinner tonight. Dad is back."
"So I'm going back tonight too?"
"What do you think? If I go back alone, will Grandpa let me go?"
Natalie couldn't help but roll her eyes. Didn't Trevon always go back alone before? Every time, he came back unscathed.
Seeing that the woman was silent, Trevon raised his head slightly and gestured to the kitchen. "The food is in the kitchen. Go eat by yourself."
"Have you eaten?"
"Do you think you are so important that I will starve until now and wait for you to have a meal?"
Natalie did not want to talk to Trevon anymore. No matter how much she talked to him, nothing good would come out of his mouth.
At this moment, Natalie had completely forgotten what had happened in the morning.
Natalie was really famished. Last night, she was so tired and hungry that she fell asleep. She did not even want to move her fingers. She had slept for 12 hours, which was equivalent to being hungry for a day and a night. She did not eat lunch or dinner yesterday. She slept perfectly and missed breakfast in the morning.
Natalie walked to the kitchen without hesitation and opened the thermal cover on the dining table. The smell of the meal wafted into her nose. Without a word, she sat down and started eating.
A mouthful of soup was too satisfying. It was quite delicious.
From the moment Natalie entered the kitchen, Trevon's gaze followed her in. When Trevon saw the woman's satisfied look, he could not help but smile. Just a small matter could make Natalie satisfied.
After eating for a while, Natalie was a little full, and her mind was online. She looked around the living room and realized that the clothes she had changed out of were gone. Natalie had just bought that white down jacket. It was the second time she had worn it yesterday.
Natalie wanted to ask but was hesitant. But after hesitating for a while, she swallowed a mouthful of food and asked, "Where are my clothes from yesterday?"
The moment Natalie saw this man sitting on the sofa, she understood that he was the one who had changed her clothes last night. There was no one else in the villa. Moreover, it was already almost one o'clock in the morning when she returned last night. It was unrealistic for Trevon to help her find a nanny at that time.
That was why Natalie stood at the staircase awkwardly. However, Trevon had helped her and did not do anything to her. Natalie could not interrogate him.
Trevon was calm and composed, but his tone was a little colder as if he had done something normal. "I throw them away."
Natalie hurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth. She subconsciously raised her voice at Trevon. "You threw away my down jacket, pants, and shoes?"
Natalie asked in disbelief. Wouldn't it be fine to wash them? It was just blood.
The man sensed that this woman was blaming him and felt very uncomfortable. Not only did she not thank him, but she also blamed him for throwing her clothes. She did not know that he had been busy until 3 am last night and had taken two cold showers before going to bed at about 5 am. At 8.30 am, he was woken up by a call from Hackett.
Trevon's anger rose, and his words became unfriendly. "Why not throw them away? Are you going to keep them as the family heirloom?"
Seeing that the woman was staring at him with wide eyes, Trevon was even more dissatisfied with her performance. What a heartless woman. "I'll compensate you for how much they cost, pants, clothes, and shoes."
Natalie realized that her attitude was a little bad. She was a little agitated just now. She licked her dry lips and said, "So be it. Thank you for last night."
After saying that, Natalie lowered her head shyly. After all, she was a woman. She still felt embarrassed to be naked under a man's gaze.
Natalie's sound was very soft, like a bee buzzing into Trevon's ears. It was like a feather brushing against his heart, itchy and soft.
When Trevon, who was in a bad mood, saw how shy Natalie was, his mood instantly turned better.
"You're welcome. Don't you blame me for seeing you naked and call me a pervert?" Trevon was saying these on purpose. The shyer Natalie was, the more Trevon wanted to say it.
Natalie stopped eating and pinched her fork. "I'm not that ungrateful."
Natalie could differentiate right from wrong. Trevon was kind last night, and he didn't do anything to her. Why was she being pretentious?
The man said coldly, "There's no need to think so much. I'm not interested in you. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been unharmed last night. Pack up after the lunch. Jim will send clothes over later."
