Chapter 229
Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
Chapter 229 The energy and excitement in the bar had reached the highest point. Many people on the first floor were cheering as if there was going to be some kind of performance.
The four women on the second floor were watching a handsome man and a beautiful woman engaging in an intimate dance. Soon, they got tired of watching Rose mused, âI havenât been back to Athana for a few years. Some so many people had undergone plastic surgery. Looks like I have to get a good-looking man for my childâs father in the future. I can save on plastic surgery fees in the futureâ
Sherri, an obstetrician-gynecologist, gushed, âRose, youâre right. Delivering good-looking babies puts me in a good mood. To be honest, there can be exceptions to good genes too. Last year, there was a good-looking couple whose babyâs looks were much to be desired. Their child had a flai nose, single eyelids, and a small mouth. The moment the childâs father looked disgusted when he saw his baby. He even insisted that we made a mistake.
In the end, the matter was escalated to the hospital director. Thank goodness we got to the bottom of it by performing a DNA test.â
Natalie heard the story from Sherri earlier. She concurred, âThereâs always a possibility to everything. Genes are no exception.â
Rose was a pediatrician, so she had a lot in common with Sherri. âI agree. Looking at good-looking people can indeed make one happy. Your children are born into a good family. Theyâre very good-looking. Iâm so envious.â
A quick-witted Sherri asked, âYou like children too?â
Rose said, âI do. If I donât like children. I wonât be a pediatrician.â
Ava quipped, âI like children tonâ
The four of them exchange smiles. They were all full of maternal love.
As the music grew louder, the girls got tired of shouting and talking at the top of their lungs. They started to discuss where they should go next.
Natalie did not notice that some people had sat near them until a pair of warm hands caressed her waist. She reacted swiftly by jabbing the personâs chest with her elbow.
âWhoa! Thatâs so brutalâ Trevon joked, rubbing his chest with one hand. He was delighted to see Natalie.
Natalie turned around when she heard the familiar voice but did not seem surprised to see Trevon. She guessed that Trevon would know where she was the minute Frank appeared.
She glanced at Trevon, who was still rubbing his chest. Natalie had used a little too much force because she thought the person was a stranger.
Realizing her mistake, she quickly helped to rub Trevonâs chest, only to have him hold her hand tightly. She pretended to be calm. âWhy are you here? Whereâs Jasper Ignoring her question about Jasper, Trevon smirked, âI want to see how youâre doing with the mask in the beauty salon. Iâm here to pick you up.â
Natalie was at a loss for words. She felt awkward for lying to Trevon earlier.
She quickly changed the subject. âDid you hurt your hand?â
Trevon let go of her hand and wrapped his hand around her waist, leaning close to her ear. âNatalie, youâve become very naughty. You now know how to lie without batting an eyelid. Thereâs a big difference between a bar and a beauty salon. Or do you not know what a beauty salon is?â
Natalie was very embarrassed to have her lie exposed in front of her.
However, she refused to back down. She said indignantly, âSo what? How many times have you lied to me? Compared to this lie. Iâm no worse than you.
Natalieâs rebuttal was eloquent yet playful. Trevon could only smile and look affectionately at her. âYes, youâre the boss. I just missed you. I was afraid youâll be drinking wine and canât drive.â
Rose was sitting opposite them. She was amused at the besotted Trevon. However, she did not say or do anything to disturb the couple.
Sherri then turned to Hackett, who was sitting beside her. âDonât say a word. Iâve been taking care of the child for so long Why canât I come out and have some fun?â
Although Sherri felt a little guilty, her commanding presence seemed to justify her actions.
Hackett swallowed the words he wanted to say and smiled obsequiously. âYou think too much, my dear. Iâm just afraid youâll drink too much, so I came to pick you up.â
Everyone started laughing at Hackett. He was really good at mimicking what Trevon said.
Rose finally could not take it anymore. She looked up at the two men. âHey. Iâm such a big girl. Canât you see that Iâm sitting alone? Am I invisible?
Have you forgotten about your friends now that you have your girlfriends?â
Trevon kept quiet as he did not want to argue with Rose. He continued caressing Natalieâs waist.
Hackett had seen Rose in Frankâs photos, but he pretended to look surprised. âIsnât this Rose? Oh, youâre back. I thought you were going to get married and settle down in Sapphire Cityâ
Rose disliked such hypocrisy. âHmph. Ive been sitting here all this while, and you just realized that Iâm present? Is Ruby your daughter?â
At the mention of his daughter. Hackett became smug âUh-huh, isnât she cute?â
Rose was quite a perceptive woman. When she saw Hackett and Trevon, she already knew their relationship. âSheâs rather adorable In this aspect, youâre better than my brother.â
Hackett scoffed. âOf course. Your brother doesnât even have a girlfriendâ
Trevon glanced at Rose, who was sitting opposite him, his hand still on Natalieâs waist. âArenât you going home?â
Rose was not as friendly to Trevon as she was to Hackett. She replied with a straight face, âNo.â
âWow, youâre quick.â Frank held a toothpick between his teeth, both hands in his pockets. He was standing in front of Trevon.
He then shot a look at the two men, thereby successfully seated himself beside Rose. âLooks like my bar has become a place for picnics.â
âItâs a pretty cool place for picnics. You might want to consider going into this business.â
Frank replied. âDo you want me to set up two tents for you then? It will be a different experience in the bar.â
Trevon replied, âKeep it for yourself. You spent so much time and effort cheating people. Donât waste this hard-earned money. No one will stay dumb forever. You wonât be able to cheat them all the time. Save the money for rainy daysâ
Frank knew that he was referring to the incident involving Hackett, as well as those photos. He shrugged his shoulders. nonchalantly and lounged on the chair. He said to Rose. âHave you had enough fun? Itâs midnight. I donât have the money to buy skincare products for youâ
Rose looked at the group and knew it was not possible to proceed to the next venue. She was glad to be single. It was so much more carefree and liberating. She could do whatever she wanted.
Nevertheless, she was surprised that Trevon liked Natalie In this vast world, as long as oneâs imagination was wild enough, nothing was strange, Fortunately, Rose was very adaptable When she saw Trevonâs arm around Natalieâs, she was only shocked for a few seconds.
Natalie was a good-looking lady When she first saw Natalie at Sapphire City. Rose already felt that Natalie deserved a lot more. She just did not expect Trevon to like Natalie.
Frank soon noticed someone staring at him. He turned to Ava. âWhatâs the matter?â
Ava blushed and shook her head. âNothingâ
Just when Frank thought that was the end of their conversation, Ava said, âYouâre so handsome,â
Not used to being praised without warning. Frankâs toothpick fell from his mouth. A few seconds later, he replied calmly, âI know that. You donât have to tell me.â
Both Natalie and Sherri were shocked at his response.
Rose did not interrupt them. Her gaze shifted back and forth between Frank and Ava.
Ava smiled. âBuddy, we have the same taste.â
Frank was stunned at her quick-witted response.
Ava initially also wanted to ask Frank if he had a girlfriend. She decided she did not want to be a third party if he had a girlfriend. It would be a shameless thing to do.
The girls had to end their party now that the men were there.
Natalie drove Sherriâs car to the bar earlier. Now, Hackett was going to drive it back to Grand Manor.
Ava sat in the back seat of the black Maybach while Trevon took the front passenger seat. Natalie was the driver. âDid Frank call you, or did your bodyguards inform you of my whereabouts?â
Trevon replied calmly. âMy men will never betray your whereabouts. They will only protect you. You donât have to worry about this No doubt then, Natalie knew Frank was the one who informed Trevon where she was.
Sitting in the back of the car, Ava was deep in thought. Shortly after, she leaned closer to the front and whispered, âTrevoIL can I ask you a question?â
Trevon turned his body slightly and looked behind at Ava. He asked gently. âWhat do you want to know?â
Ava took a deep breath and scratched her ear. âDoes Frank have a girlfriend?â
Hearing this, Trevon immediately turned back. He narrowed his eyes at Natalie as if seeking the truth from her.
Natalie nodded, indicating that his guess was right.
A smile immediately appeared on Travonâs face. When they were at the bar. Trevon thought Ava was merely paying Frank a compliment when she said Frank was handsome. He now realized she liked the man. He said solemnly. âHeâs single.â
Trevonâs reply made Ava loosen her grip on her skirt. At that instant, the gloominess in her heart dissipated. âReally? Does he like anyone?â
Trevon answered truthfully. âNo. Do you like him?â
Ava did not hesitate at all. âYes, Trevon, I want to woo him.â
Hearing this. Trevon almost choked. He found the news very shocking. âUh... wow, youâre very brave. All the best to you.â
Ava was thrilled. Finally, someone did not persuade her to give up. Trevon, arenât you going to ask me to give up the idea?â
Trevon looked very serious as his lips curled into a smile. âYou donât need a reason to like someone. Where thereâs a will, thereâs a way. Itâs just like how I like Natalie for no reason. I believe you stand a good chance of winning Frankâs heart. Good luckâ
Natalie shot him a chiding look. Why did Trevon bring Natalie into his conversation with Ava? She had nothing to do with it.
She turned around and glared at the man who was talking excitedly. Trevon even winked at her.
Natalieâs ears instantly turned red.
Ava was in a good mood after talking to Trevon. She was confident her plan would succeed.
She then whipped out her phone. âTrevon, give me your WhatsApp number.â

Shortly after, Ava sent him a message. [Trevon, letâs make a deal. Can you tell me the whereabouts of Frank next time? Iâll move into Josephâs room tonight.]
Trevon, who was seated in the front passenger seat, looked at the message and smiled. He thought Ava was a sensible and adorable girl. [Deal. Iâll tell you everything I know.]
Ava sent him a crying emoji. [Trevon, I vow to win Buddyâs heart before I return to Sapphire City]
Trevon took a look at the message and immediately understood what she meant. He promised, [If you need anything, let me know.]
Ava replied with an emoji of a penguin spinning in circles. [Trevon, youâre awesome!]
Trevon replied with an emoji of a handshake, indicating that the deal was sealed.
Natalie was too focused on driving to notice what was going on. To her knowledge. Ava and Trevon merely added each otherâs number on WhatsApp
