Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 261 The night was dark and the starlight was sparse. The mirror-like moon hung high in the sky, looking lonely and not lonely at the same time.

The originally dark courtyard was now bright like the daytime and was livelier.

Familiar lights, familiar houses, and familiar roads. However, the state of mind was no longer the same. The people had also changed.

Natalie's thoughts drifted away Memories, emotions, sadness, and happiness invaded her mind at the same time. She did not know which of them had the upper hand.

Suddenly, a broad hand appeared above her head and gently stroked her hair. His tone was gentle and low. “We've arrived. Get out of the car.” Her replied was in a low voice. She felt really blissful to have a family light the way for her. Her lips curved slightly. “Okay” Jim had a tough life. He sighed as he watched Mr. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson enter the house hand in hand. He went to the trunk to get gifts. Trevon had bought a lot of things. There were supplements, ingredients, fruits, and gifts.

It was just hard on him, the porter.

Perhaps hearing the commotion in the courtyard, two people rushed out from inside. Without a doubt, it was Lena and Mel. Both of them were wrapped in aprons.

Lena wiped her hands on the sides of her apron and walked towards them. Her lips curved from ear to ear. He looked at the things on the ground and complained, “Why did you buy so many things?” Trevon held Natalie’s hand and greeted politely, “Good evening. Lena.” There was an innate sense of oppression on his body. Even though there was no coldness on his face, it made it difficult for people to approach him. Upon hearing this, Lena felt a little uncomfortable and a little nervous. She stuttered, “Hey, alright, alright. I... I'll take some of the bags off you” Natalie's free hand quickly grabbed Lena and stopped her. “Lena, you can just carry Jasper. We can handle the other bags.” She could tell that her godmother was uncomfortable. She could not blame Trevon. This person looked like this. He looked like he was not easy to get along with. When she first moved into Adare Manor, she also felt that he was not easy to get along with.

She could not blame her godmother for having the same thoughts.

No matter if her godmother was comfortable or uncomfortable, she was Jasper’s savior. Natalie felt that she had to support Lena in her old age. She would not change her mind about this.

As she spoke, she handed Jasper to Lena. She had not seen the little guy for a few days and was overjoyed. She had completely forgotten about the pressure.

Mel was terrified when she saw Trevon. He exuded an aura that kept people away from him. Every time she was so frightened that she did not dare to say a word, she would hide far away. She lowered her gaze and tried her best to find something to do.

She quietly walked to Jim's side and quietly helped carry things.

Jim saw that she was small, so he handed her something lighter and reminded her kindly, ‘Carry these. Make a few more trips.

You don't have to carry them all at once.” Then, he turned around and said to Trevon and the others, “Mr. Wilson, Mrs. Wilson, go in. I'll carry these things in with Mel.” Trevon turned his head and glanced at Jim. His eyes darkened and he quickly replied, “Okay” The next second, Natalie, who still wanted to help, was led into the house As soon as she entered the house, she smelled the fragrance of food. She held Trevon’s hand and pulled him to the dining room.

The dining table was already filled with all kinds of delicious food. The smell was very good. The hot fragrance entered her nose and evoked long-lost memories.

Her face was brimming with happiness, contentment, and happiness.

All the changes in her expression were seen by Trevon. From when she was outside the house and was still in a daze in the car to when she was waiting for dinner like a child. It was the most realistic reaction.

This was the most realistic version of her, showing her emotions.

Two years ago, he felt that her satisfaction was fake. He could see a satisfied smile on her face when she brought out a bow! of Spaghetti Bolognese. Now, he felt that this simple life was very reliable.

A few days ago, he read an article that he agreed with. Choosing the right wife was a top-notch investment for men. Now that he thought about it, it made sense.

He looked around. This house was built in an ancient style. Most of the buildings were made of wood. The wooden door seemed to be able to smell a faint wood fragrance, making people feel warm and close. There were calligraphy and paintings of some eras back hanging on the walls. He could tell that Thea was a person with a rich cultural aura. All the decorations showed the precipitation of time. After the baptism of time, the old man should be a nostalgic person.

Such a house was filled with time and memories. Every place seemed to have a story buried. No wonder she didn’t come back after Theo left. No wonder she would rather live at Edward's house.

However, there was a trace of doubt in his heart. He narrowed his eyes and looked around, wanting to find an answer. In just a moment, he seemed to be enlightened.

Natalie went to the kitchen happily. While he was free, he sent a message to Frank. After sending the message, he put his phone in his pocket and pretended not to have done anything.

The main seat had always been empty. No one sat there. That seat was reserved for Barron. The cutlery was also placed. Lena sat beside the main seat, followed by Jasper, Natalie, Trevon Jim and Mel stood on both sides, not daring to sit down.

Natalie turned to Trevon beside him and said, “Let them sit down too.” In the Foster’s residence, when Natalie’s grandpa was still around, Jenny and Lena sat down to eat together as well. Baron never treated them as babysitters.

After interacting with them for so long. Trevon understood how they interacted. It was different from the Wilson's residence, so he naturally did not object. He nodded and said, “Have a seat.” After dinner, Jasper was carried away by Lena. He played downstairs with Mel and Jim.

Natalie held Trevon’s hand and walked up the stairs. When Natalie reached her room, she placed her hand on the doorknob for a few seconds before opening it. She stretched out her index finger and pressed the switch on the wall. Instantly, the dark room became extremely bright.

The furnishings and decorations in the room could be seen at a glance. It was very simple, but why was it princess style? The walls were pink. Even the carpet was lotus pink. The curtains were pale pink. What was up with the style? It didn’t seem to match Natalie’s personality and her usual clothes. He remembered that her room was also decorated in a cold color when she was in Evergreen Gardens Natalie glanced at the man who was full of doubts and was frowning. She laughed and said, “Do you think this style is a little different from mine?” Trevon was not hypocritical. He nodded honestly and hugged her waist as he explained, “It's not that | don’t think you're a woman. It's just that your personality and the things you usually like are not this pink. It's very difficult for me to fuse you with pink. If it's Ava, | can still understand.” Natalie did not struggle and allowed him to hug her. She raised her head and looked into his eyes as she replied, “Actually, Grandpa wants to raise me into a little princess, but I'm not a little princess to begin with. How can | become a little princess? It's just that this is Grandpa's kind intentions. | don’t want to reject it, so | act like | like it every time. Grandpa probably thinks that | like pink, so he hasn't changed it. Even if he feels that it’s old, he still changes it to pink. As time passes, I've gotten used to it. I'll treat myself as a little princess when | get home.” How could she have the chance to become a little princess? She was a child without a mother in school. She would always be reminded by a few people that her mother had jumped off a building and died. She did not have a mother and her father did not want her anymore.

Seeing that she did not retort or retaliate, they felt that she was easy to bully, so they kept hitting her. It was not that she could not retaliate, but she was afraid that once she retaliated, her parents would be called. That way, her grandfather would know.

She did not want her grandfather to be sad. When she was beaten, she always protected her face.

Every time she was beaten up, she would hide her injuries and go home. She was afraid that her grandfather would find out. She would hide in her room in the dead of night and cry secretly. However, every time she saw pink, her mood would inexplicably improve. She comforted herself that she was still a little princess at home.

The next day, it was as if nothing had happened. She went to school as usual and happily greeted her grandfather and said goodbye.

Noticing that she was in low spirits and the confusion in her eyes, he lowered his body and kissed the comer of her lips. He asked tentatively, “Do you want to sleep here tonight? The past is in the past. Everything is the way you like it now.

“You won't suffer again in the past. You have me in the future.

Her gloomy mood was scattered by the kiss. She smiled faintly. “Can you accept this style? Can you sleep?” Trevon pinched her dainty nose. “If you can fall asleep, how can | not? Are you looking down on me?” “No, forget it. Let's go back to Evergreen Gardens. The bed in this room is not as big as Evergreen Gardens. It can't fit three people. It's getting late, so | won't torture Lena.” “Alright, let's sleep in my house tonight. Since you've shown me your room, let me show you mine. My room is a lonely man’s room.” “How can he be a lonely man?” wondered Natalie.

They were either climbing walls or cross-dressing. They were having a lot of fun. Where was the loneliness? In the end, she couldn't resist his coaxing and agreed to sleep at Trevon’s house.

9 Frank originally planned to drive to Lithern Club, but when he was about to reach Lithern Club, he received a message from William.

“Your mother sent an apology message to Rose. Go back and check on Rose.” After reading the message, Frank did not hesitate to turn the steering wheel. He turned the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator. Under his sunglasses, his eyes were as cold as ice. The half hour drive was shortened to 18 minutes.

After parking the car, he even left the doors unlocked as he stepped out of the car and walked quickly to the villa.

When Frank pushed the door open and entered, he saw Rose silently crying as she opened the package mechanically and scratched randomly on the cardboard box. He frowned and his eyes darkened. He strode over and casually threw his coat on the ground. He slowly squatted down and took the paper knife from Rose.

He suppressed his feelings and tried to sound as gentle as possible. “That's enough. Give me the knife.” Rose acted as if she did not hear anything and continued to open the cardboard box with the knife in her hand. Frank helplessly and carefully snatched the knife away and threw it aside.

The sound of the knife making contact with the clean tiles was exceptionally clear and loud in the large and silent living room.

It could make one’s heart skip a beat.

Rose's tears fell as her hand was emptied. Frank squatted down and held her head with one hand. He slowly turned her head around and pressed her into his arms. He continued to restrain his emotions. His eyes darkened and he lowered his voice. “Let it out. This won't happen again. | promise you.” The next second, Rose cried her heart out. The entire silent living room was filled with her cries.

She kept hitting Frank's chest, again and again, desperately venting her emotions.

Frank did not feel any pain at all. He did not even frown. His face was tense. He pursed his lips and did not say anything else. He just let Rose vent her emotions This matter had been buried in her heart for too long. It was so long that she had forgotten that Grace still owed her an apology.

It was so long that she would not be able to see the healed wound until she took off her watch. These were things that she did not want to remember.

It was both her fault and Grace's fault.

After suppressing her emotions for so long, she desperately needed an outlet. However, Grace's apology came just in time.

After crying for a long time, Frank's clothes were drenched. He didn’t know if he was drenched in tears or snort. Rose only raised her head when she couldn't cry anymore. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she said in a heavy nasal voice, “You still owe me an apology” Frank's legs were numb from squatting for so long, so he simply sat on the carpet next to Rose. As soon as he sat down, he realized that something was wrong. He looked down. Wasn't this the carpet custom-made in his room? Without a doubt, it was the work of this crybaby in front of him.

He closed his eyes and told himself to calm down. This was a carpet that he had custom-made overseas, but this girl had casually thrown it on the ground as a cushion. Frank sat cross-legged with one hand on his leg and propped his cheek on his hand. He looked at his sister and said, “For breaking your ex boyfriend's leg? | didn’t do anything wrong. Don't try to forcefully press it on me.” Rose looked down at Frank. She sniffed and said gloomily. “He doesnt deserve the words ‘ex-boyfriend”. You clearly know that he’s a scumbag Why didn’t you tell me?” Frank was stunned. Thinking that she did not know, he changed to a relaxed tone. I'm afraid of smearing your first love. | cherish my life.” Rose kicked him angrily. “You're so annoying. Do you like being a scapegoat that much?” Just as Rose thought that he would not apologize, Frank looked at her in a daze and apologized sincerely. “I'm sorry, it was wrong of me.” Hearing this, Rose had tears in her eyes, but still smiled and said generously, “Since you're sincere, | accept it.” At first, Rose thought that Frank was just like Grace, spying on her. She hated being controlled by Rose and Frank. However, after knowing that the man was a scumbag, she waited for Frank to tell her the truth. In the end, he did not say a word or explain anything for a few years. That was why Rose was angry.

Frank placed his hands behind his back, crossed his legs, and placed his hands on the ground. He looked at his sister, who had finished venting her emotions, and her mood clearly improved. “I won't argue with you tonight on account of you crying like a dog. I'll be your punching bag for free. Hit me. After today, you won't get this benefit anymore.” The siblings looked at each other on the carpet for a while, but Rose still did not make a move, She only rolled her eyes at him in disdain.

Frank had never expected Rose to commit suicide. All these years, he had regretted his decision. If he had told her the truth earlier, he might have avoided this scar. This was the thing he blamed himself for the most. He had thought that it was for her own good, but he had harmed her.

Frank urged, “Are you going to hit me or not? if you miss this opportunity, you won't have another one.” Rose pulled Frank's sleeve and wiped her tears and snot. Then, she said, “No, I'm afraid of Ava coming to me for revenge” Frank did not slap his clothes in disdain. He just allowed Rose to wipe her tears and snot on his sleeve.

He remained silent and did not answer Rose’s question at all.

One would be in a completely different mood when one had vented one’s emotions. After everything was resolved, the way that the brother and sister interacted with each other would naturally change, “Hey, what do you think of Ava? Do you have any interest in her? Give me a definite answer. The last time | asked you, you didn’t say anything. Doesn't it feel suffocating keeping everything to yourself?” Frank opened his eyes and glared at her. “Is my name ‘Hey’? At least | bought you a whole room of presents. Is it not worth you calling me something different?” Rose tilted her head. Her eyes were red and swollen. She wasn't in her best state. “Anyway, you're bored now. Let's have a heart-to-heart. Can you help me open the present, my dear brother?” Her face was filled with disdain, but her hands were already moving. She picked up the knife that had been thrown aside and muttered unhappily, “Those who know will think that you have too much money. Those who don’t know will think that you storing up for the end of the world.” Rose continued to make Ava’s presence known “I wonder if Ava is blind to actually think that you're cute when you insult people.” The two of them were very cooperative. Frank unpacked and Rose would sort things into different categories.

Frank snorted and threw an empty cardboard box far away. “You think everyone can see the good in me, but you don’t know what's good for you.” “Yes, yes, yes. My brother is the best. Well, | can't find a word that matches you in the Oxford Dictionary. | have to customize one” *We'll talk about it when we find it. Don’t give me empty promises” Rose playfully approached Frank and bumped his shoulder. “Why don't | give Princess Ava to you?” Hearing this, Frank's hand that was holding the knife paused. Half a second later, he said, “Take care of yourself. Be more careful when you find a boyfriend in the future.” “You're not going to let this go that easily, are you?” wondered Rose.

“You change the topic as soon as Ava is mentioned. Do you like her or not? Or are you afraid that she will interfere with your marriage?” Frank replied without looking up. “Children don't have to worry about adult matters. When are you going to work?” Rose shrugged her shoulders. She knew that this person did not intend to answer her question. She did not force him. She could not get anything out of him. “The day after tomorrow. Natalie and the others will start work the day after tomorrow. | plan to go the day after tomorrow too. It will be more lively to eat together” “Do you want me to call 50 people to eat with you tomorrow? You're going to work, not to a gathering. Please install a GPS on yourself to know your place.” After a few hours, the presents were all unpacked. When Frank packed the cardboard box to the door, he was already sweating profusely. He suspected that Rose was here to torture him.

When he walked in, he saw that Rose was still sorting out the things she had bought online. “You're torturing yourself. Can't you buy less next time? If there’s a next time, I'll confiscate the bank card. You can survive by yourself.” Rose was also filled with regret. How could she have known that she would buy so much at once? She would rather die than buy so much in the future. There was just too much. She just wanted to be generous to herself occasionally. She didn’t want to spend the rest of her life unpacking things she had bought online. “I won't buy this much in the future. You're not serious about taking back what you gave, right?” Frank looked at her calmly. “If you don’t work tomorrow, come home with me.” What needed to be resolved had to be resolved. They couldn't be cut off from each other for the rest of their lives. It was already rare for Grace to make a series of apologies.

It was great to know that one could learn one’s mistakes.

She had also thought about many things during her stay in Sapphire City. There were a few times when she seemed to have seen Grace's figure in a daze after class. However, on second thought, this person was so arrogant that she would definitely not come to see her.

After all, they were mother and daughter. Her heart softened. Perhaps she no longer hated her deep down. She just needed a way out and a breakthrough. Perhaps after knowing that the man was a scumbag, she regretted her rebellion.

However, once something was done, it could not be erased. The estrangement had already formed. Rose needed an apology, and Grace needed a way out.

After pausing for a while, Rose went upstairs with a pile of goods. “Got it.” Frank watched as she laboriously moved the spoils of war on the ground. He squatted down and carried a pile as well. “Where are you putting them? Do | have to give you a whole room to store them? You're so spoilt Rose followed behind Frank in a good mood. She felt that this idea was not bad. “Cranky Franky...” After receiving Frank's sharp gaze, she quickly changed her words. “Frank, | think your idea is really good. Why don’t you implement it?” “I don't plan to adopt you for the rest of my life. You're just staying here temporarily. Do you really think you can do whatever you want in my house?” “That's true. If | really did that, Ava might not like it. Alright, I'll still prioritize my future sister-in-law. Although | don’t know if my future. sister-in-law is Ava, I'm still a sensible person.” “Cut the crap. Are we eating dinner or not?” “Yes, where are you taking me to eat delicious food? I've been eating at the Grand Manor for a few days. I'm not going...” Frank walked at the front and moved the things to her room, ignoring the troublemaker behind him
