Chapter 292
Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
Chapter 292 In the Wilsonâs residence, around the dining table, Jasper sat between Rachel and Caleb, and Theo sat at the head of the table.
Rachel picked out the fish bones patiently for Jasper. As for why Natalie did not propose that she would do it, it was because Rachel would definitely say that there was no need.
Since she would get the same answer whether she asked the question, Natalie decided to keep silent.
Jasper was eating happily. In the past few days, his small face had become rounder and more chubby. He blinked his eyes and winked at Natalie. It was unknown who he had learned it from, and he seemed to enjoy it a lot.
Natalieâs lips curled up. She looked at Jasper for a long time before retracting her gaze. From the corner of her eye, she saw Theo picking up another piece of pork rib, which was the fifth piece he had eaten this evening. Natalie reminded him in time, âGrandpa, one last piece. Be careful of your cholesterol and cerebrovascular vessels.â
âUpon hearing that, Theo placed the meat on his empty plate. He smiled lovingly and said, âI have no choice. Thereâs a professional doctor at home, and I have to follow her orders. Iâm not eating meat anymore. Im eating some vegetables.***
Rachel peeled another prawn for Jasper and said softly, âFather, you have to pay attention to your health. Youâve been gluttonous recently.â
In the past, it was Rachel who took care of Theoâs three meals on behalf of his deceased wife. Now, Natalie also joined her. Theo said. âAlright. I have to keep healthy to welcome the birth of my great-granddaughter.â
Natalie understood what he meant and did not avoid the topic. She smiled and exposed Theoâs true intention. âGrandpa, are you urging me to have a second child?â
Theo laughed out loud, and the wrinkles on his face gathered together. He was even more straightforward now that he was exposed âNatalie, if I do, will you agree? Iâm so old. I donât know how long I can live. If I can see my great-granddaughter before I die, Iâll be satisfied. I can explain it to your grandmother when I go to heaven.
âIf I couldnât explain it to her clearly, no one would know how she would scold me.â
Theo recalled the scene of his wife scolding him.
Natalie looked at Theoâs smile and felt sad in her heart. She put on a faint smile and joked, âGrandpa, I canât guarantee that my second child will be a girlâ
Trevonâs hand that was holding the fork paused. He turned his head to look at Natalie with a surprised and complicated expression.
Hearing that Natalie agreed. Theo couldnât stop smiling. âItâs fine. As long as you give birth to it. I wonât care about its gender. Jasper, do you want to be an older brother?â
Jasper looked up, his small mouth stained with food. âYes! Of course!â
He winked at Natalie with one eye, as if he was saying âItâs up to you.â
Jasper looked so cute that Natalie could not help but smile.
Even the servants in the dining room began smiling. Rachel and Caleb were no exception.
During the meal, Trevon put down his tableware and pinched the back of Natalieâs neck. He said in front of Rachel, Caleb, and Theo, I plan to go to Sapphire City to propose tomorrow.â
Although he and Natalie had registered their marriage and had a child, he had no intention of missing the proposal. The Turner family was now Natalieâs family, and it was only right for him to visit them.
After eating. Caleb put down his tableware and made a decision. âYour mother and I will go with you. Let Jim deal with the affairs in the company for a day.â
Natalie was stunned. She had never thought that Caleb would go to Sapphire City with Trevon. Although she had called Caleb âfatherâ these few days, she did not expect his decision.
She knew that it was for her sake and that Caleb valued her family.
Rachel agreed. She opened a pack of wet wipes to clean Jasperâs mouth and hands. âJasper, go have fun by yourself for a while. I will go and join you later. Mary, keep an eye on Jasper.â
Jasper got down from the chair and jumped straight into the toy area. He began enjoying himself as if the conversation among adults had nothing to do with him.
After instructing Mary, Rachel continued, âAs Trevonâs parents, Caleb and I should visit Natalieâs family and talk about the marriage. It is necessary etiquette. Letâs take a private plane tomorrow and bring Jasper alongâ
Trevon did not object âOkay.â
Caleb reminded. âIs the betrothal gift ready? What can I help you with? What about the shares of the Wilson Group?â
Calebâs words frightened Natalie. Did all wealthy families nowadays propose marriage with shares? She quickly rejected, âDad, thereâs no needâ
Before Trevon could say something, Theo chimed in. âDraft an agreement later. Natalie can take 20% of the shares of the Wilson Group. Trevon, what else have you prepared?
Trevon took a sip of water and replied unhurriedly. âAll the shares of Grand Manor, as well as Lithern Club. A cruise ship and an islandâ
Theo nodded in satisfaction and asked, âHow about jewelry and cars? Didnât you prepare?â
Trevon was a little speechless. âI donât plan to make a list on the dining table. If you want to see it, Iâll organize one for you to take a look at later.
There are a total of 168 sets of thingsâ
*168 sets of things? What are they?â Natalie thought in surprise. She felt that she had become a rich woman after having dinner.
She didnât know what she could say for a moment.
Theo looked at Trevon in satisfaction and nodded. âNot bad. âThe number of gifts is so pleasing to the eye. You finally make some progress. Youâre worth teachingâ
Trevon could say nothing. Sure enough, Theo would not miss a single chance to mock Trevon. Otherwise, he would not be Trevonâs biological grandfather.
Caleb did not oppose Theoâs decision and immediately maile the decision. âThen itâs settled. Weâll go to Sapphire City tomorrow morningâ
Everyone had decided. If Natalie stood out and objected, she would seem a little ungrateful and might destroy the harmonious atmosphere. So, she only thanked them politely. âThank you, Dad, Mom Thank you, Grandpa.â
Rachel said. âGo back and tidy up your luggage after dinner. Do you want to stay here or at Evergreen Gardens tonight?â
Trevon looked sidleways at Natalie. Obviously, he was waiting for Natalieâs answer. They looked at each other for a few seconds, and Natalie had her idea. âMom, weâll go to Evergreen Gardens to get our things. Then, weâll return and spend the night hereâ
Rachelâs reply was still concise. âOkayâ
In the Robertsâ residence, the door of Roseâs room was wide open. Music was playing on the phone, and it was the latest pop song. She hummed along to the rhythm, and she was in a good mood.
The song was played one by one in sequence. After Light Chaser, another song âWeâre Differentâ was played, followed by âLittle Birdieâ...
One after another, Rose could hum every song entirely and follow every beat accurately.
She squatted on the ground and sorted out her luggage.
Frank leaned against the door frame with his hands in his pockets, looking leisurely. He had listened to Roseâs wanton singing for a while and felt it ear-piercing. He had no choice but to say, âDo you want me to resign the lead singer from Lithern Club and let you take his place?â
Frankâs sudden voice startled Rose. She covered her chest and glared at him. âAre you a ghost? Canât you make a sound when you walk over? You almost scared me to death.â
Frank ignored her exaggerated acting skills and said, âYouâve only been working for a few days. What are you planning to do now? Cleanse your soul again?â
The music was still playing. Rose thought, âHe is indeed forgetful and stubborn. No wonder he is single. He even secretly used my phone to introduce a big shot to Ava, although I did not know who the big shot was.â
âIâll go to Sapphire City tomorrow. Trevon will go propose marriage, Hackett will spend his honeymoon with Sherri, and I will cheer Ava on and give her a surprise. Do you want to go with us?â
Rose asked Frank tentatively Frank leaned against the door frame and was stunned for a moment. He said coldly. âI donât.â
Rose stared into Frankâs eyes, trying to find out if he was lying.
A moment later, Frank said, âWhat was the condition you mentioned last time?â
âHuh? What condition? Rose was puzzled.
âThe condition you mentioned when I borrowed your phone,â Frank reminded her.
Rose slapped her forehead and suddenly had an idea. She thought she could not allow Frank to continue disguising himself. She should make a move to save him. âFrank, you asked me for it. No matter what condition I raise, you have to agree. You canât go back on your word. If you do, youâre not a real man.â
Frank looked at the scheming Rose, and his mind was full of schemes. âTell me. What is it?â
Rose turned around and jogged to the bed to turn off the music on her phone. Then, she walked back and said, âCome with me to Sapphire City to protect me â
After a long silence, Frank still didnât say anything Rose was anxious âCan you say something? You are not mute after all. Give me a direct answer right nowâ
âAlrightâ
Rose was shocked and in disbelief. She thought that she would need more time to persuade Frank, but he agree so quickly. Why? For no reason, Rose felt something was wrong. âReally? You didnât wait for me to raise the condition on purpose, did you Rose began to doubt herself.
There was no change in Frankâs expression. He said indifferently, âCan it be harder to serve you? I think you will just die aloneâ
Rose snorted. âHmph! Youâre also single, okay? There is no difference between you and meâ
Frank retorted. âDonât flatter yourself. I donât have time to argue with you. Iâm going to talk to Graceâ
Rose was curious. âWhat are you going to talk about with Grace? Tell ineâ
Frankâs tone remained indifferent. âI canât count on you.â
Rose wondered, âYou canât count on me? What the hell it is?
Frank left Roseâs room and went straight to Graceâs study. He knocked on the door and entered after hearing Graceâs permission.
Grace was reading a document. Although she was wearing pajamas, she still exuded the overbearing aura of an able woman.
Frank put one hand in his pocket and touched the back of his neck with the other. He said to Grace, âI want the secret defense map in Athana and relevant information Half of them is enoughâ
Grace put down the documents in her hand and took off her glasses. She narrowed her eyes and repeated what she had said before. âI told you I want a reason.â
Half an hour later, Frank went out of Graceâs study with a file in his hand. When he returned to his room, he called Trevon, and Trevon quickly picked up the phone.
On the other end of the line, Trevon sounded busy. Frank teased, âAre you doing sports?â
As a man. Trevon certainly understood the implied meaning in Frankâs words. âIm just tidying my things. Stop talking nonsense.â
Frank chuckled. âCan you do me a favor?â
Trevon glanced at Natalie, who was sorting out the things in the suitcase. He walked to the window and asked, âWhat is it?â
Frank said, âBring me to Joseph I have something to discuss with himâ
Trevon instantly saw through Frankâs plan. He teased, âAre you not going to pretend anymore? I thought you planned to always be a role model and do good deeds without leaving your naine.â
Frank heard the ridicule. âYouâre bored, right? Iâve helped you investigate so many things. Itâs time for you to return the favorâ
Trevon said those words on purpose, yet he would still help Frank. âYour method of visiting the enemy in person is a little risky. Alright. Wait for me at the airport tomorrow.â
Hearing that, Frank hung up the phone directly.
After that, he went out again. Rose heard the sound of the car starting outside and felt strange. Frank seemed to be busy and mysterious tonight. She called him and asked, âWhere are you going?â
Frank did not answer Roseâs question âWhatâs the matter?â
Rose didnât understand why Ava would fall for Frank. After all, he was so bad-tempered. Iâm just concerned about you.â
Frank replied. âI have something on. Iâll come back late. What do you want for supper?â

ï¤Chapter 291 My Ex-Wife Is A Big Shot In Disguise ï¤Chapter 227 Defying Fate: The Unstoppable Eileen ï¤Chapter 340 At the mention of supper, Roseâs mood instantly improved, and she no longer cared about Frankâs bad temper. âYou are just so good. I want to eat barbecue and tacosâ
Frank broke her fantasy directly. âNo. If you donât want to have diarrhea on the plane tomorrow, eat something healthy.â
Rose was still thinking about it when Frank made the decision for her. âPizza. Milk or milkshake!â
Rose thought that pizza was not bad. âMilkshake
Frank hung up the phone after that
