Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 286

The pizza party came to an end.

On the way back, the Maybach car was driven steadily toward Evergreen Gardens. Trevon held Natalie’s hand with one hand. A pair of rings that shone in the darkness found their right place.

After looking at the scenery outside the window for a while, Natalie retracted her gaze, lowered her eyes, glanced at the man who was holding her tightly, and said, “Do you really dislike Edward?”

Trevon’s eyes moved. He looked ahead and turned the steering wheel with one hand. The front of the car turned to another road and he said, “Do you think I will ever like someone who wants to win my wife’s heart?”

Trevon thought, “Am I that magnanimous? If I could even accept this, then I wouldn’t be considered magnanimous. I would be considered a

saint.

“There’s no way I would like him. Not beating him up is deemed the best

outcome.”

Natalie rolled her eyes at Trevon when he could not see. She said, “I don’t mean anything else. I just hope that you guys won’t deepen the conflict. because of me. He has never said that he likes me. In my eyes, he’s just my elder brother. I explained this to you the other day.

“Besides, he has helped me a lot, whether it’s as a friend or a brother. I owe him. I’m not saying this to make you feel grateful to him like I do. Rather, it’s simply because I don’t want the relations between the both of you to get too strained.”

Sherri was Natalie’s best friend. and Edward was like a brother to Natalie. Now that Trevon was her husband, she hoped for harmony between him. and Edward. Even if they could not get along well, she hoped that the relations between both of them would not worsen.

She would not force Trevon to treat Edward a certain way. She just hoped they would not be at odds with each other.

Trevon squeezed Natalie’s palm with one hand. He was very satisfied with Natalie’s response. There was a glimmer of smile in his eyes as he slowly said, “Don’t worry. Since he hasn’t confessed, I won’t do anything to him and will consider your feelings.”

Natalie was at a loss for words.

The car arrived at the car park of Evergreen Gardens.

Trevon was in a joyful mood. He leaned over and carefully helped Natalie unbuckle the seatbelt. Just as he was unbuckling, the phone placed on the center console of the car rang.

It was a call from an unknown number.

After Trevon unbuckled the seatbelt, he sat down and picked up his phone. Upon hesitating for a few seconds, he answered the call. While he was listening, he looked at Natalie.

Trevon did not say a word, not even moving his lips. The call lasted only a few seconds. Natalie did not know who was on the other end of the line or what that person had said. Trevon was expressionless. After hanging. up the phone, he smiled and politely asked for Natalie’s agreement to let him leave. “Honey, I’ve got something to attend to,” he said. “Can you go up first? I’ll be back soon.”

Natalie was not someone who would act coyly. Neither was she a clingy woman. She readily agreed and even reminded Trevon. “Okay,” she said. “Take care and stay safe.”

Trevon leaned forward again and kissed her eyes. “Goodbye, Honey,” he said.
