Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 141 Chapter 141 The relationship between Juana and Joy had become much closer because they knew that their children were in a hidden “boyfriend—girlfriend” relationship.

Juana was absent-minded while sitting in the living room at home taking care of Ruby. Lost in thought, she decided to call Joy.

In the morning, she heard from the maid that Michael had passed away and that Joy's niece was injured and hospitalized. She thought Joy must be feeling uncomfortable with all these unfortunate events.

Joy had a carefree personality and would definitely not like to interact with those pretentious wealthy wives. She would not reveal her thoughts to them either.

Even if she did, they would only make fun of her. There were only a few people who would genuinely comfort and care for her, and not making fun of her was already good enough.

She picked up her phone and quickly made a call to Joy. The call was answered promptly. “Hello, Joy. How are you?” Joy, who had just been comforted by her husband, heard the comforting words from Juana and burst into tears again. She sniffled softly. “It's so warm of you to call me. I'm fine, but | can’t get over the fact that my brother passed away at such a young age. And | don’t know who is seeking revenge on my niece. Our family has been going through a lot.” Juana was not highly educated and did not know how to comfort others with profound words. She usually randomly chatted with Sherri and could not come up with any profound theories. “I'll come to see you now. Just give me your address so that you won't be thinking randomly and come up with any bad thoughts.” When Joy heard that Juana wanted to come and see her, she was deeply touched. To have such a warm-hearted friend during her moments of sadness definitely touched her heart. She immediately said, “Bring Ruby with you. This child can melt anyone's heart. It's been a few days since I've seen her, and | miss her a little.

“Alright, I'll bring her along.” Juana thought that Joy was also alone at home, so she was afraid that she might become depressed. She did not hesitate and immediately packed Ruby’s backpack. “Ruby, Grandma wants to take you out to play. Let's go meet Grandma Joy, okay?” The little one started picking up toys and stuffing them into her small backpack. Seeing this, Juana smiled and asked, “Do you want to bring this too?” It was a small bunny doll.

The little one nodded. “Yes.” “Alright, then let's bring the little bunny with us. Let's go! The butler will arrange a driver.” After saying that, Juana held Ruby’s hand and walked towards the door.

After about an hour, they arrived at the shared location provided by Joy. Juana held Ruby in her arms, and the driver, who was sensible enough, got off and opened the door. “Madam, I'll wait here.

“Okay.” Juana stood at the entrance of the residential area with Ruby in her arms. The location given by Joy was a villa area called Tranquil Lux. The standalone villas were imposing, clearly belonging to wealthy people.

Juana knew that the Blackwell family was involved in real estate, but seeing this villa area with her own eyes still made her marvel. Joy did not have the attitude of those wealthy wives she had encountered before. That was also why they got along well.

As soon as she walked through the entrance, a security guard came to greet her, with both hands placed in front. “Excuse me, are you Mrs. Landor?” Juana nodded.

The security guard said respectfully, “Mrs. Landor, please come in. Mrs. Blackwell has already made arrangements for you to drive in directly.” Juana asked, “How many more minutes do | need to walk?” The security guard said with a smile, “Another 5 to 6 minutes will do.” After thinking for a moment, Juana said to the driver. “You drive in I'll take Ruby for a stroll. She also wanted to get familiar with the place, so that next time she could drive in directly.

Besides, what if her daughter and Hackett truly became a married couple? With that thought in mind, Juana started walking with Ruby in her arms. The driver was taken by another security guard to the villa of the Blackwell family, while Juana was led towards the villa “Birds of a feather flock together.” This was how the security guard felt about Juana’s attitude. Mrs. Blackwell was humble and easy-going, and it turned out that the | andor family was also a big family that was easy to get along with. They were really different from some other wealthy wives, which made it hard for people to see them as wealthy. Indeed, the wealthier the person, the more low—key they tended to be In no time, they arrived at the villa where Joy was Juana thanked the security guard and then pressed the doorbell with Ruby in her arms.

When the door opened, Joy's swollen red eyes confirmed Juana’s guess. “I knew you were crying at home. Come, let Ruby 1/3 12:01 Chapter 141 cheer you up.

As expected. Joy saw Ruby and could not help but smile. “Come in quickly. | hope | did not scare Ruby.” Juana lowered her head to change her shoes and said, “What do you think? Your eyes were all swollen like cherries.” After putting on her shoes and raising her head, she saw a middle-aged man sitting on the couch in a black suit, reading a magazine. Looking closely, his facial features and contours were quite similar to Hackett's. It seemed that he was quite handsome when he was young. No wonder he could have such a handsome son as Hackett. Juana felt a bit embarrassed now.

Why didn’t she ask if Joy was alone at home before coming? Nathan noticed the awkward atmosphere and nodded slightly to greet her. “Hello, Mrs. Landor.” Juana, feeling embarrassed, hurriedly greeted back. “Hello.” Afraid that Juana would feel embarrassed, Joy turned to her husband and said, “If you have nothing else to do, go to the company. | have Mrs. Landor to keep me company.” Her words were clearly a way to dismiss him. Nathan would not fail to notice it. He got up, closed the magazine, and put it on the couch.

Nathan felt that he was a little redundant. With the two women chatting, he could not sit still any longer. “Well, then I'll go to the company.” Suddenly, Ruby shouted, “Goodbye, Grandpa.” Joy was instantly delighted by her cuteness. “You have such sharp eyes, and you really have a way with words, young lady. 1 wonder who you took after. No adult would not like this child.” Nathan walked up to Ruby and squatted down. He did not say that he was not her grandfather. Instead, he replied kindly, “Hello, young lady.” When he saw Ruby's facial features clearly, a complex and intriguing emotion flashed in Nathan’s eyes. His eyebrows, which were originally relaxed, slightly furrowed, but he gently rubbed Ruby’s hair.

Nathan stood up, nodded slightly to Juana again, and then walked out of the villa with brisk steps. As soon as he got into the driver’s seat, he called his son. “Are you at the company?” Hackett honestly replied, “Yes, | am. Didn't | tell you not to come? You should stay home with Mom. Aren't you afraid she might kill herself with her fragile mind?” Nathan said, “Your mom is not that fragile. Stay at the company. | have something to ask you. Your mom has a friend. keeping her company at home.” Hackett, curious about his mother’s picky nature when it came to friends, wondered when she made friends he did not know about. “Who? Nathan said directly, “You don’t know her.” Well, it was his mother’s freedom to make friends. If she could enter the Blackwell family’s villa, then his father should also be aware of it, otherwise, he would not have let the friend into the house that easily. Thinking of this, Hackett did not ask any further.

Half an hour later, Nathan walked into Hackett's office at a fast pace. He had just sat down on the couch when he went straight to the point and asked, “It is about your past girlfriend. Is there any possibility that she gave birth to your child?” Hackett was dumbfounded by the sudden question. What was going on recently? Why were both his parents asking him about this? “Dad, | haven't really had a girlfriend. Those were just targets to resist Mom's arranged dates.” Nathan, not avoiding a direct conversation with his son as a man, asked, “Have you had any chance that you slept with a girl without having protection?” This question triggered memories in Hackett’s mind. He thought for a moment and realized that during that time with Sherri, he was too excited and might not have used protection. But that woman must have taken the pill.

Nathan noticed the change in his son's emotions and had already formed some guesses in his mind. He decided right away.

“Think of a way to do a paternity test on the child Mrs. Landor brought along. You don’t need to stay at the company anymore.

Take care of this matter first. Now hurry home.” It wasn't that Nathan had become overly suspicious, but the child’s facial features were almost the same as Hackett’s when he was young It was hard not to have doubts.

Hackett could no longer remain calm. “Who are you talking about? Whose child is it?” Nathan said with dissatisfaction, “Don’t you know who you slept with? Aren’t you clear about it in your heart?” Hackett was shocked, his expression changing unpredictably Considering Edward had not married yet, if the child was from the Landor family, could it be Sherri’s? Since if the child was Edward's, his father would not have asked him to do a paternity test simply by looking at the child.

His mind was filled with countless thoughts, and it felt like his heart was stuck in his throat. “Is that child in our home?” 2/3 12:010 Chapter 141 Nathan did not stop him but reminded him. “Yeah, don’t approach this openly It's not 100% certain that it yours “Go Task Frank to help me find out whose child it is If it was Sherri’s child, did it mean there was no need to do the best ampenter”. It was possible that she could not stand the loneliness overseas.

Hackett desperately looked for an excuse to absolve himself, conflicted in his inner thoughts.
