Chapter 175 After canceling her leave, Natalie Foster went to take a look at Ethan White again, but he had not regained consciousness yel She then went to the office to check with the attending doctor. After finding out that Ethan should regain consciousness in the next few days, she felt much more relieved.
It was good as long as all of them could survive.
Just as Natalie was thinking about this, her cell phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was a call from Joseph Turner. She answered the call, feeling somewhat guilty. “Joseph” On the other end of the line. Joseph's voice was as gentle as ever. “How are you and Jasper lately? Your aunt keeps nagging me every day to make a call, saying that you only tell us good news and never let us know when something bad happens” Natalie's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that her older cousin knew? However, she didn’t detect any hint of anger in his tone.
Natalie analyzed in her mind every word Joseph said. From the looks of it, he did not seem to know about this matter. She braced herself and continued to lie. I'm doing quite good, Joseph. When are you coming over with Uncle and the rest?” Joseph chuckled softly “For the past few days, Ava has been clamoring to go over earlier. We're all getting a headache from her nagging, so we'll be coming next week. There's no rule in Athana stating that we can’t go and pay our respects to our ancestors earlier, is there?” Natalie quickly said, “No, no. Joseph. You guys can come whenever you want. All of you decide on a day to come and tell me so that | can take leave in advance. | have promised Ava that | will take leave to keep her company when she comes here” Joseph's words successfully dispelled Natalie’s doubts. After all, Ava had indeed sent her a message last week saying that she wanted to come to Athana ahead of schedule.
In Azureland, in the CEO's office somewhere in Sapphire City, after the man ended the phone call, he took off his glasses and massaged the spot between his eyebrows to lessen his headache. He seemed a little helpless. Pat Black, who was standing beside him, spoke up. “Sir, do we need to send another group of people to protect Miss Natalie? The bodyguards under Ethan had indeed promised Natalie not to tell Joseph, but they were still the Turner family’s bodyguards after all. They knew the consequences of not reporting what they knew. After much reconsideration, they still called Pat Black to report what had happened.
Joseph's eyes were deep, dark, and unfathomable. He closed his eyes and sighed before replying. There's no need. Since someone has cleaned up the mess for free, there’s no need to tell the chairman and the rest about this” Pat stood respectfully with his hands crossed in front of him. He was hesitating whether to plead for mercy. “Mr. Turner, about Ethan “He made the biggest mistake of all. He was careless. You know what that means” Pat lowered his head and gave up. He knew that the Turner family’s rules could not be bent, but he still wanted to plead for Ethan After a moment, Joseph said in a low voice, “This is the first and the last time” He knew that the reason Natalie hid it from him was primarily because of Ethan. This girl was afraid of implicating others. If Joseph insisted on punishing Ethan, Natalie would probably feel very bad.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPat did not expect Joseph, who had always been a man of his word, to relent. He quickly thanked him. “Thank you, Mr.
Turner.” Joseph closed his eyes and pretended to nap. The fact that Natalie could let that man get close to her again meant only one thing. As her older cousin, Joseph could protect her and ensure that she did not have to worry about food and clothing. However, he could not get involved in everything, for example, her feelings. He could not interfere too much.
However, if that man wanted to marry Natalie again, it would not be that easy. It wouldn’t be that easy for anyone to marry a girl from the Turner family.
Sherri Landor and Hackett Blackwell came out of the washroom. Natalie was a little puzzled over why they came out of the same washroom when they were of different genders. However, she did not know the exact situation and it was also not the time to ask. “lll go back first. Have a good day at work.” Actually, Sherri had only gone in to wash her face while Hackett had gone to the entrance to offer his sleeve.
Sherri looked at Natalie worriedly. “I applied for leave yesterday. Why don’t | keep you company?” Hackett received Trevon’s gaze which was as sharp as a blade and quickly tugged at the dumb foolish woman beside him. “Do what you need to do. It's none of your business.” He gestured with his chin in the direction of Trevon Sherri was no fool How could she not understand what Hackett meant? It was just that she did not fully trust Trevon Wilson yet She was afraid that he would hurt Natalie again and completely destroy her. Furthermore, Natalie was going through a period of sorrow now. It was very easy for Trevon to take advantage of Natalie's lapse in rational thought. Thus, Sherri wanted to speak again Natalie stopped her, however “It's okay I'm not as fragile as you think. | won't collapse. | sill have to take care of Jasper. Don’t worry Sherri felt more relieved when she heard that. That was right Things were different now. She and Natalie were already parents.
They couldn't only think about themselves Their children still had to rely on them.
Natalie tried to put on a brave front and waved at Sherri beland her. As she looked at both Trevon and her best friend's back profiles moving off together. Sherri’'s conviction began to waver She felt that it would be good if Trevon had really changed and treated Natalie well. At least, from their back profiles, they really looked like a mate hing couple.
Hackett, who was beside her, rudely interrupted Sherri’s thoughts. “What are you thinking? You think they're a perfect match™ Sherri asked in return, “Don’t you think so?” Hackett shrugged. “Aren't we a perfect matche n't your daughter prettier than his son? Aren't | more handsome than Trevon Is there anything wrong with your eyesight?” Sherri wanted to retort that there was indeed something goddamn wrong with her eyesight and that was why she gave Hackett a call. If she had good eyesight, she would never have called him.
Dream on, Hackett.
He couldn't even tell if he was more handsome than Trevon. Sherri retorted sarcastically, “Mr. Blackwell, you're definitely the most handsome man in the world, aren't you?” Hackett did not care if Sherri was being sarcastic or sincere. Anyway, people liked to hear compliments. He was still happy to be praised by Sherri After the jesting, he said solemnly, “I can’t pick you up from work in the afternoon. | have toa help. Trevon investigate the nuastermind” Sherri took out her cell phone and checked the time. It was almost || o'clock. “I didn’t ask you to pick me up” Hackett burst into laughter. If they were to have a trial period and see who would be the first to fall in love, he really suspected that he would be the one to fall in love This woman did not seem to like him at all. Her face was filled with disdain. It was a defeat for him. To be fair, he, Hackett Blackwell, was also a handsome man who was loved by everyone, yet this lady Miss Landor did not fancy him.
It couldn't be helped since she was his make-believe girlfriend. “Fine. I'm the one who insists on fetching you, girlfriend” The last word was emphasized through gritted teeth.
The word “girlfriend” made Sherri blush a little for some reason. Her heart was pounding. She pretended to be calm and waved her hand to chase him away. “Alright, go quickly. Let me know when you find the mastermind.” She was getting good at such exchanges “Got it, ma'am.” Sherri’s smile widened. She suddenly felt that it was quite good to hang out with this guy.
Falling unknowingly into the trap was the most fatal Could she be one of those? As she walked out of the parking lot, Natalie did not follow Trevon to the garage Instead, she went to where her two-wheeler was parked. Trevon followed closely behind and asked, “Are you planning to ride back?” “I can’t leave it in the hospital” Natalie's grandfather had given it to her. Even if she didn't ride it, she still had to park it away properly.
Trevon walked quickly to face Natalie and glanced at her dress. He frowned. “Tll be the main rider. You ride pillion.” “Huh? Was he planning to ride with her? “Do you think your dress is appropriate?” When the wind blew, all of Natalie’s inner beauty would be exposed to outsiders.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTrevon would feel like a cuckold.
In reality, Natalie wanted to go to the suburbs to release her suppressed emotions to get back into the right state of mind. How could she release her emotions now that Trevon wanted to come with her? She turned him down. “Why don’t we take the car back? I'll ride it tomorrow.” Since she couldn't release emotions, she might as well shelf it first. There was no hurry.
Trevon had already picked up the helmet, but there was only one. This helmet made him very uncomfortable, especially the signature on it. Although he was uncomfortable, safety was still paramount, so he put the helmet on Natalie’s head and helped her tidy her loose hair. “My riding skills are not inferior to yours. You can give it a try” Ignoring the woman's stunned expression, Trevon swung one leg over the motorcycle straightaway. As his long legs supported the motorcycle, he said to the woman behind him, “Give me the key. Get on This was the reason Natalie didn’t like to wear skirts. She still had to act all ladylike when she wanted to ride a motorcycle. And she couldn’t make any big sweeping movements in case of accidental exposure. It was unrealistic to sit with her legs astride the motorcycle in a skirt Forget it. She should sit udeways just like Sherri did in the past and fold the skirt under her butt to hold it down. This way, when the wind blew her underskirt glory wouldn't be exposed Previously, a roommate at the university said that she drove to school and hitched. de back Then, when she woke up in the morning and couldn't find her car, she called the police. In the end, when the police i heckeil the school campus, they discovered she didn’t drive her car back the day before. At that time Natalie and Sherry though hat the roomm joking Now that Natalie thought about it, such a thing could indeed happen when one wasn't thinking clearly For example there was another roommate she called, she asked where her phone was trying her best to make a phone call with the cell phone in her hand. As then, Natalie and Sherri wer Natalie seemed to be the same situation today. She forgi | to rule the motorcy adress After waiting for a long time, the woman still did not get on Trevon turned his head and glanced at her “Sit sideways and hug my waist When Natalie got on the seat, there was zero distance between her body and Trevon’s When she hugged his waist tightly with both arms. Trevon felt a sense of satisfaction be had never felt before nstead of buy street. Trevon rode the motorcycle to a suburb. The motorcycle went increasingly faster. This was the speed Natalie wanted.
All her worries dissipated with the wind at this moment. There was only the smell and euitrinent of freedom.
As the motorcycle traveled, whale subconsciously tightened an sat at the hack; the tears in her eyes drifted away with the wind, and her waist of the main rider e change in her emotions and suddenly understood why she liked to ride a motorcycle. He did not slow tained this speed as he rashed in the top of the mountains.
In reality, thus place was waren Frank Roberts did his racing Trevon had competed with Frank here a few times before Ever (raced beer for a long time since he wer the seemand like he had After a while the motorcycle came to a form wop at the top of the mountain Natalie jumped off and tidied her mevy lothes. She then took off her bellones and tubed her hair She caned her head and realized that she was at the top of a mountain. All she could see were trees, and she wi a paviliori from She turnest around and sew the man leaning langodly against the pillar of the pavilion. A cigarette was already dangling from has mouth, but he hadd Trevon knew that the smoker.
She und Go ahead and card, she did hered by cigarette him to a he no longer lit up in Trevon still remembered that Hackett had taken a photo of Natalie putting away and uploaded it to the chat group. Trevon had saved that shot in his cloud storage Natalie placed the helmet on the stone table in the pavilion and also leaned against the railing. Her actions mirrored Trevon’s, but she was looking at the scenery of densely packed buildings whereas Trevon was looking at Natalie Was this a case of when one was looking at the scenery from the pavilion, another person looking at the scenery was looking at the former! As she surveyed more than half of Athana, Natalie realized that she was very insignificant, pist like a speck of dust. After her grandfather departed, no one lit the lights at home and waited for her to go home anymore. Now, there was one, but Natalie had lost her again. The suffocating feeling in Natalie’s chest surged again After a while she said. “Ever since | got pregnant with Jasper. I've stopped smoking. Actually, | don’t have much of a smoking addiction. At most. Ill smoke one when I'm frustrated 1 hascally don’t smoke anymore I'm also used to it now” This was the first time Natalie had told Trevon about herself. It was a dull narrative, but it made Trevon’s heart ache.
He stuffed the cigarette into the cigarette pack and said calmly. “Since you don’t smoke. I'll quit too.” She turned her head in surprise “Huh” Pretending to be serious. Trevon said, “hit it written on the pack that smoking is bad for your health?” Natalie burst out laug This reason little too contrived.
