Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 23

Although the rain wasn’t heavy, it fell lightly on her, giving her a slight

chill.

On the busy street, people hurriedly walked by, some without umbrellas, running quickly in the rain, perhaps trying to avoid the impending downpour. The traffic jam was very common in Athana, and the drizzle only made it worse.

Fortunately, her vehicle wasn’t a four-wheeler and could move through. the streets and alleys.

Looking up, Natalie saw dark clouds dominating another corner of the sky. Trying to escape the rain, she darted in and out of the gaps between. cars, like a running rabbit. The flow of vehicles somewhat limited her speed.

“Mr. Wilson, it’s Mrs. Wilson,” said Jim. Trevon finished work early this evening. Frank and Hackett had come to look for him this afternoon, so he had no intention of going out again.

Jim, with sharp eyesight, immediately noticed the motorbike weaving through the traffic. The license plate was still fresh in his memory.

Trevon paused from flipping through the files, raised his gaze toward the window, and saw the woman riding on a motorbike continuously darting between the vehicles, her movements agile. It was clear that she was always like this.

Trevon’s words shocked Jim, who couldn’t help but observe Trevon’s expression through the rearview mirror.

“Did I misunderstand it?” Jim wondered. “Is Mr. Wilson starting to fall for Mrs. Wilson?”

However, Jim had confidence in Natalie. He believed that she would definitely be able to make Trevon fall in love with her, without a doubt.

Thinking about it, Jim felt extremely happy. After all, once he saw how
