Turning Of The Tide

Chapter 291

The matter about Harry and Elena was finally settled. Natalie did not know what method Tucker had used. Emily didn’t call Natalie again to bother her or go to the hospital to cause trouble after Elena died.

Harry’s death sentence was internal news, and it would take a few more days for the official sentence to start. Natalie had no intention of attending it.

Time passed day by day. Unknowingly, it was the day for Harry’s sentence, Natalie acted as if nothing had happened and went to work as usual.

Every evening, she would go to the Wilson’s residence for dinner. After dinner, she would return to Evergreen Gardens and spend time alone with Trevon, while Jasper would be left in the Wilson’s residence. Jasper liked staying there because everyone doted on him.

Although Jasper was young, he was smart enough.

Trevon was glad to stay alone with Natalie. Even so, he still went to the Wilson’s residence every day. Natalie knew that he missed Jasper a lot. It was just that he pretended to be calm on the surface.

Time passed quickly. It was almost time to go to Sapphire City. At that moment, Natalie was sitting in front of her office writing a request for leave.

Just as Natalie finished writing her name, Sherri pushed the door open and entered in her high heels. The sound of her high heels hitting the floor was loud. Sherri sat down on the chair facing Natalie and stretched out her hand. “Give me a leave slip

Natalie continued what she was doing and did not look up, parting her lips and asking. There’s no surgery today. So, you even put on high heels?”

With that, she put down her pen and took a blank leave slip from the drawer. Then, she handed it to Sherri and picked up the pen on the table to continue.

Sherri took the leave slip. She pretended to be shy and stroked her hair, looking a little pretentious. “Didn’t Hackett buy me a new batch of high heels recently? It’s a waste to hide them.”

Natalie raised her head and stared at Sherri fixedly. She was happy in her heart to hear that, yet she still teased. “You’re showing off your love. You can be more straightforward and say that Hackett loves you so much.”

Sherri held her chin with one hand and tilted her head slightly. She smiled slyly and said, “I’m just afraid that you don’t know what he has done.”

Natalie raised a hand to stop Sherri. “Enough. You don’t have to explain more. I’m sure and certain that Hackett loves you.”

Sherri nodded vigorously to indicate that Natalie was telling the truth. “That’s right.”

Natalie could not bear to look at Sherri’s face, which was filled with happiness and satisfaction when in deep love. Sherri almost wrote Hackett’s name on her forehead and told everyone in the world that they loved each other. Natalie immediately changed the topic. “I plan to take seven days off to accompany my aunt and the others. I don’t know when I’ll be able to return to Sapphire City again after this trip. I can’t take leave every month.”

Sherri thought it made sense. Recently, she had been slacking all the time. After she came back from Sapphire City, she had. to work hard again. So, she replied without thinking, “I’ll take seven days too. My annual leave is all saved up when I was single. Now, it can finally be used.
