Turning Of The Tide

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, “I haven’t 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 child’s father in the future. I can save on plastic surgery fees in the future”

Sherri, an obstetrician-gynecologist, gushed, “Rose, you’re 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 baby’s looks were much to be desired. Their child had a flai nose, single eyelids, and a small mouth. The moment the child’s 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.”

Natalie heard the story from Sherri earlier. She concurred, “There’s always a possibility to everything. Genes are no exception.”

Rose was a pediatrician, so she had a lot in common with Sherri. “I agree. Looking at good-looking people can indeed make one happy. Your children are born into a good family. They’re very good-looking. I’m so envious.”

A quick-witted Sherri asked, “You like children too?”

Rose said, ‘I do. If I don’t like children. I won’t be a pediatrician.”

Ava quipped, “I like children ton”

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 person’s chest with her elbow.

“Whoa! That’s so brutal” 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 Trevon’s chest, only to have him hold her hand tightly. She pretended to be calm. “Why are you here? Where’s Jasper

Ignoring her question about Jasper, Trevon smirked, “I want to see how you’re doing with the mask in the beauty salon. I’m here to pick you up.”

Natalie was at a loss for words. She felt awkward for lying to Trevon earlier.

She quickly changed the subject. “Did you hurt your hand?”

Trevon let go of her hand and wrapped his hand around her waist, leaning close to her ear. “Natalie, you’ve become very naughty. You now know how to lie without batting an eyelid. There’s a big difference between a bar and a beauty salon. Or do you not know what a beauty salon is?”

Natalie was very embarrassed to have her lie exposed in front of her.

However, she refused to back down. She said indignantly, “So what? How many times have you lied to me? Compared to this lie. I’m no worse than you.

Natalie’s rebuttal was eloquent yet playful. Trevon could only smile and look affectionately at her. “Yes, you’re the boss. I just missed you. I was afraid you’ll be drinking wine and can’t drive.”

Rose was sitting opposite them. She was amused at the besotted Trevon. However, she did not say or do anything to disturb the couple.
