Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 102

In the evening, at Rose Manor, the night descended, and the stars twinkled, suspended on the dark blue curtain. The moonlight spilled onto the colorful roses, and the night breeze carried the fragrance of the roses, which came in waves.

After lunch. Joseph drove Emma and Ava out shopping, leaving only two servants and Sherri in the villa. The servants were all busy with their own tasks.

The servants and bodyguards in the Manor were all well-trained to listen only to what they should hear and automatically filter out what they shouldn’t Once they left the estate, they wouldn’t say a word more than necessary. This was a primary requirement for anyone working in the Manor. Every servant had to sign a confidentiality agreement upon entering the estate, and if they leaked any information about the manor, they would bear legal responsibility Compared to other jobs outside the estate, the salary for working at the manor was several times higher than that of an ordinary household.

As a result, many of the servants who entered the Manor had no desire to leave. The beautiful environment and high salary made it difficult to resist.

Sensing her best friend’s sense of loss today, Natalie helped the two children take a bath and put them to sleep before heading to Sherri’s room.

Pushing the door open, Natalie saw Sherri standing by the window, lost in thought. Sherri didn’t even notice her come in. Natalie walked over and put her arms around Sherri’s shoulders, standing next to her. “Are you feeling down? Why didn’t you help Ruby take a bath tonight?”

Sherri curved her lips, and her eyes revealed a touch of sadness and reluctance. “Once I leave. I may not be able to wash her every day. She’ll have to get used to having you around.”

Before entering the room. Natalie had guessed this was the reason. Since Ruby was born, no matter how busy she was, Sherri always put aside her work and personally bathed and put Ruby to sleep. Natalie also remembered the first time Ruby called her “Mommy, she hid in her room crying. She witnessed Sherri’s disappointment when Ruby grew up and started calling her “Mommy Sherri.”

In fact, no one taught Ruby to call Sherri “Mommy Sherri.” Jasper came up with it, and as she followed it, then it became a

habit for her.

In private, Natalie had taught Jasper and Ruby many times also to call Sherri “Mommy,” but only Jasper changed his way of addressing her. Ruby continued to call her “Mommy Sherri

Natalie comforted Sherri by holding her shoulder and saying. “Don’t be sad. Ruby is your child, and no one can take that away from you. Even though she calls me Mommy, you know in your heart that she still prefers to be close to you. I put her to bed at night, but before sleeping, she always looks for you. This blood relationship cannot be changed just by her calling you Mommy Sherri’ or calling me Mommy”

Seeing that Sherri Landor was moved by her words, Natalie continued, “Joseph bought me a house, and I’ll be keeping it. When we return to Athana, you can come live with us. It’ll be our home with two kids. Remember, it was you who suggested that we should go for walks together when we are old. It hasn’t been long yet, and you’re already thinking of going back on your word. You’re not going to despise me as a divorced woman, are you?”

Sherri was stimulated by Natalie’s words, and her gloomy mood dissipated a lot. “Who despises you? Who goes back on our words? You’re still single, and you have plenty of pursuers. There are people who are wooing you even when you’re pregnant Just look at your contact list and the number of men who want to become your child’s fathers”
