Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon) novel Chapter 98

The following day was a perfect day with clear blue skies and warm sunshine. The absence of clouds made it feel exceptionally comfortable, causing one to feel lazy and sleepy.

Sherri stood in front of the window in her pajamas and stretched. "This weather is really comfortable. Natalie, where should we go first?"

Looking for clothes in her closet, she found it difficult to decide what to wear. Recently, she had put on some weight, and most of her clothes were jeans. She didn't have any sweatpants, and the ones she did have were too light for the current season. She felt uneasy about wearing her tight-fitting jeans.

"Let's go buy some clothes first." As she could not fit into her pants, she decided to make do with it today.

"Alright, I want to buy clothes too." Sherri took out a knitted dress from her suitcase. She wore a pair of leggings and a long down jacket that was filled with fluff. It was not bad and very warm.

After struggling for a while, Natalie was still having trouble with her jeans. She couldn't button them up and didn't want to hold her breath all day. She let out a sigh of frustration and gave up. Turning to Sherri, she asked, "Do you have any leggings or tights I can wear?"

Sherri blinked her eyes. "Yes, do you want to wear a dress?" Filled with confusion, she scanned her lower body. "Natalie, you seem to be fatter than me."

"Jeans are the most realistic measuring device. As long as I can't button it up, I'll definitely gain weight."

Sherri took out a long sweater and leggings for her and retorted, "No, you can also say that these pants have shrunk. It's just an excuse to comfort yourself. Hahahaha."

Natalie rolled her eyes at her. "Don't be happy too early. If you wore jeans, you'd be in the same situation."

"Why are you so annoying? Can't you let me be happy for a while? Can't we chat happily?"

The two of them bickered and debated about who was fatter. They were delayed for half an hour. By the time the two of them were dressed, it was already an hour later.

Sherri lowered her spending standards considering the future expenses of raising a child. She couldn't keep asking her mother, Juana, for money. So, she followed Natalie to a budget-friendly store.

As for Natalie, she did not dare to use the money left behind by her grandpa. She was afraid that the Foster Group would need more money to operate.

Natalie led Sherri into a sportswear store. The brand's fabrics were very comfortable and breathable, which she had researched online during the past few days when her appetite had increased.

Sherri walked in and immediately spotted a pink sportswear set. "Natalie, what do you think about buying this color together? I think it looks really nice."

At the sight of the pink color, Natalie couldn't help but shake her head disapprovingly. The soft and girly shade was not suitable for her taste. "You can go with pink, but I'll stick with black."

The store assistant came over and introduced it warmly. "Hello, we have several other colors for this set. This young lady's fair skin would also look great in grey or beige."

As she spoke, she had already displayed two sets of different colors in front of them.

"Natalie, why don't you wear the beige one? Don't always wear black."

After much hesitation, Natalie chose the beige one. Very few of her clothes were bright. They were either gray, black, or white.

Even the bedsheets were despised by Sherri.

After buying the sportswear, Sherri insisted on going to buy some more items, including dresses, flat shoes, and intimate wear. These were areas where she had the expertise, so Natalie followed her lead.

After buying everything, it was already past six in the evening.

Theo, sitting in the dining room and leisurely eating his soup, noticed that his grandson's face was as dark. He felt a bit confused and asked him what was wrong.

As Trevon strode into the room, ready to head upstairs, he was stopped by Theo.

"Who has upset you? You look even worse today than yesterday. Your mood seems to be declining." Theo said, looking at his grandson with concern.

Trevon thought Theo did it on purpose.

After finishing his soup and wiping his mouth, Theo stood up energetically. "As you are my grandson, I have some news for you that won't cost a cent. The flight for Natalie is at 9:30 am tomorrow morning."

After speaking, Theo observed his grandson's expression calmly for a few seconds before breaking into a clear smile.

Trevon paused for a moment before responding. "What does that have to do with me?"
