Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon) novel Chapter 189

 

Chapter 189 

Back at Evergreen Gardens. Trevon pulled over the car by the building. He got off first, followed by Natalie. Then, Mel helped I ena out of the car 

Lena had lived in this neighborhood for some time. So, she showed no amazed expression. All she felt was the joy that she returned home alive 

Mel, on the other hand, was different. She was from the countryside. It was her first time coming to such a high-end neighborhood. It was spring now, and the community in March was filled with greenery everywhere Green leaves surrounded it, and it was full of vitality What surprised her the most was the cherry blossoms in this district. It was as if she had entered a fairyland or as if she had walked into a painting. 

She was in a daze and could not move her feet. How could this place be so beautiful? The cherry blossom trees in this district kept fluttering, making the petals fall on her hair and then to the ground. 

She couldn’t help but exclaim, “These flowers are so beautiful” 

Trevon’s eyes flickered. His lips curled into a smile as he said to Natalie dotingly. “I need to excuse myself now. I’ll have to go to the company first. I’ll get Jim to deliver anything you prefer to eat for dinner.” 

They were all women. It was inevitable that they would feel uncomfortable if a man went into the house with them. It was better for him to leave now and be there when they needed him. 

Natalie did not answer. She stretched out her palms and waved them in front of him. What she meant was obvious. “Are my hands just for show? I even suspect that you want to turn me into a useless person. It’s good enough for you to send meals to the hospital daily. I can cook at home.” 

Trevon wanted to care for and arrange everything for her. She did not need to do anything or tire herself out. But she was used to being independent and would definitely disagree. 

Ignoring the two people beside them, he pulled Natalie into his arms and kissed her forehead. He said gently. “Tll head off to work now, then. Call me if you need me.” 

Lena did not look away. She observed the shyness and happiness on Natalie’s face that she had never seen before. She smiled. and thought to herself. “That’s nice!” 

Mel was an innocent young lady and had never seen a couple acting lovey-doveyly in public. She had only seen kisses on television, but she had never seen a kiss in public right before her. She was so embarrassed that her face flushed red. She looked more shy than Natalie. Flustered, she kept her head lowered and played with her fingers awkwardly 

Trevon left after reminding Natalie of a few things. Natalie took Lena’s items on the ground and said to Mel. “Let’s go. What’s wrong with your face? Are you feeling unwell?” 

After being kissed by Trevon countless times, Natalie had become less bashful than before. Although she was a little embarrassed now, it was only for a while. 

Mel reached out to touch her burning cheeks and said embarrassedly. “It’s nothing. It’s just a little hot here. Mrs. Wilson, which floor are we going to?” 

Natalie looked at Mel’s blushing checks again and thought about how this young lady would date someone in the future if the were so easily embarrassed. Then, she answered, “25th floor.” 

Lena’s eyes instantly shimmered in tears when she opened the door on the 25th floor. Her gaze landed on the secondary bedroom, and she said as she sobbed, “Natalie, where is Jenny buried” 

Actually, when Lena woke up the second day, she already knew the truth. She had also cried for a while at night, but she knew Natalie’s intention of hiding it from her. Natalie was afraid that she would be sad and affect her recovery. Therefore, in order to not let Natalie worry about her, she pretended not to know 

When she saw the familiar house that she had not seen for a long time, she could not help but feel as if Jenny’s busy figure was still in the living room, the kitchen, and the balcony… Her vision became more and more blurry as tears welled up in her ryes 

Natalie instantly stopped. She turned around and looked at Lena worriedly “Lena… I’m sorry I didn’t mean to hide it from you” She was afraid that Lena’s unstable emotions would worsen her health condition. 

Lena forced a smile. “I know. Natalie. This is Jenny’s and my choire. Don’t feel burdened. It’s our blessing to be in the Foster family. Barron has never treated the two of us as servants. It’s already worth it. Now that I have a goddaughter like you, what regrets do I have in my her 

Natalie’s eyes started to shimmer in tears. She sniffed and controlled her emotions. She helped Lena to the sofa and said, “Lena, let’s look ahead at our bright future. I’m your biological daughter from now on. Please don’t stand on ceremony with the anymore. I’ll bring Jasper over tomorrow, okay? She knew that Lena would definitely miss Jasper. 

In the past, her godmother helped her learn to walk. In the future, she would accompany her godmother for a stroll, basking under the sunset. 

 

Mel did not know what they were sad about or what had happened before she came. However, she had a hunch that it was something terrible. She did not know how to comfort them, so she could only use what she felt was a good way to ease bad emotions. “Miss Lena, Mrs. Wilson, I’ll cook for you tonight. I’ll cook some home-cooked dishes for you to try.” 

Natalie liked this girl very much. She looked up and replied with a smile, “Alright, I’ll help you.” 

Mel, employed as the nanny, did not dare to let the host help her. She waved her hand anxiously. “No. It’s okay. I can manage 

on my own.” 

Natalie said solemnly, “Mel, you don’t have to be restrained here. I might be a few years older than you. You can call me Natalie if you want to. That way, we can be more comfortable when getting along” 

Mel did not expect Natalie to be so easy to get along with Natalie did not treat her as a servant at all. This was the first time she had met such a good employer. In the past, those employers would order her around casually and were very picky. They would despise her if she did not cook well. They would always despise the dishes for being salty or bland. How could she dare to make home-cooked dishes for those people? It was also because Lena and Mrs. Wilson were both lovely people that she dared to suggest it. 

Not only was she not despised, Natalie even said she wanted to help her. She was so touched that she nodded her head profusely. 

Mel was the one who cooked for dinner, and Natalie was just helping Actually, she was also a little curious about Mel’s culinary skills 

However, she was thinking too much. This young lady’s culinary skills were really not bad. The dishes she made were to her godmother’s liking. They were neither salty nor salty and were just right. 

After dinner, Mel and Lena shared the same room. They slept on the bed Jenny had slept in. 

Before sleeping, Natalie thought about how timid the young lady was and told her that the bed belonged to Jenny. She asked. Mel if she wanted to change the bed, but Mel said she was unafraid of good people. Even if Jenny were dead, she would be a good ghost. It would be fine to sleep on Jenny’s bed. 

Natalie was very grateful to Jim for finding this caregiver. Obviously, he had spent a lot of effort to find her. There were very few girls from the countryside nowadays who could be so innocent and kind 

Before she went to bed, she sent a message to Trevon and told him that she would pick up Jasper at the Wilson’s residence tomorrow. She even asked Mr. Wilson what he liked and what lus mother liked. She couldn’t go to the Wilson’s residence empty-handed. 

The following day, Natalie got up and dressed up. She was wearing a macaroni-colored dress and a pair of white shoes. Her hair was still tied into a fishbone braid. She walked into the bathroom and applied some sunblock and foundation. Then, she put on some lip gloss. 

When she opened the door, Mel happened to come out of the kitchen. When she saw how well Natalie was dressed, she couldn’t help but praise her, “Natalie, you’re beautiful. You look like a fairy” 

The girls in the city were really beautiful and kind. 

There was no need to mention how much Mel liked Natalie now. 

Natalie smiled politely. “You’re also very beautiful. Did you sleep well last night? If you did not, I’ll change a new bed for you today” 

Mel had never slept so soundly before. “Sis, it’s perfect. I’m really not afraid. I slept well, really well.” 

Natalie stopped talking about changing the bed because Mel seemed a little anxious. “I won’t be back for lunch. Please help me take care of Lena.” 

Mel answered, “Alright, Natalie, go ahead. I’ll take good care of Lena. Don’t worry. I’ll get her some porridge when she wakes up. 

Natalie smiled and headed out. Since her godmother was still sleeping, she would not disturb her. She guessed that her godmother must have suffered from insomma last night. 

When she arrived downstairs, Natalie saw the man leaning lazily against the car door with a cigarette between his fingers. When he saw her coming, he quickly put out the cigarette and threw it into the flower bed at the side. 

Natalie realized that this person had a childish side. She walked closer and said, “If you can’t quit, don’t quit. I don’t dislike the smell of cigarettes, as long as you don’t smoke in front of Jasper.” 

Trevon hugged her slender waist intimately. He knew he had smoked, so he restrained himself from kissing her. At this moment, he regretted smoking. “I can’t quit immediately. I’m already slowly quitting. Previously, it was two packets a day, but now I have reduced it to half a packet. Give me another half a month, and I promise I won’t smoke anymore.”
