Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 489

The next night.

There was an endless stream of cars parked at the entrance of Edward’s new house.

Gifts in their hands, the people who got out of the car were all smiling. The first to arrive was Frank. He

drove the tall and handsome off-road car. He was chewing gum and had his hands in his pockets. He

walked straight into the living room. It was as if he was entering his own house.

Frank stood at the door and glanced at the decoration of the entire villa. After a moment, he nodded

and sat down leisurely on the sofa.

When Rose came downstairs, she saw Frank sitting on the sofa leisurely and playing with his phone.

She ran over happily and sat down beside him. “As expected of my brother. I knew you missed me.

You’re the first to arrive.”

Frank put the phone back into his pocket. He opened his broad palm and picked up the balloon at his

feet to play with it. He twirled it in his hand. “Did you decorate the house together?”

“No, no, no. How could Edward bear to let me do so much work? He decorated it with Hackett. It made

Hackett extremely depressed. He kept saying that now that it wasn’t his wedding house, why would he

be involved?” Rose raised her index finger and waved it, indicating it wasn’t.

However, yesterday, Edward acted as if he did not hear Hackett’s complaints and asked him to

continue working.

Frank was satisfied with his sister’s words. Edward could be considered sensible. While they were

talking, Edward, Hackett, and Sherri walked in from outside.

“Oh, you’re so early. You’re here to investigate your sister’s future living environment.”

It was Sherri’s first time coming to the villa. Yesterday, her brother only said he would borrow Hackett

for a day and did not say anything. After Hackett returned, Sherri learned that her brother had bought a

villa next door. She wanted to come over to take a look no matter what, but Edward refused.

Sherri scolded Edward for a long time for being heartless. She scolded him several times and used all

the words that she could think of in her mind.

She almost got beaten up by Edward, but she still failed to achieve her goal.

At this moment, Sherri looked like a curious baby. After clicking her tongue for a while, she was even

more jealous than ever. She pretended to be sarcastic and said, “My brother is so considerate.”

Although her words were sarcastic, she was really happy deep down.

She did not know that Rose and Edward had already set the background of the decorations. Sherri

thought it was designed by Hackett together and thought she had discovered another shining point of

Hackett.

The truth was Hackett knew how to design blueprints. After all, he was a house seller. How could he

not understand the blueprints and the layout? It was just that Hackett had never mentioned the

company business to Sherri. It was mainly because Sherri was not interested in those things.

“Let’s go and prepare the things we need later. Your brother said that we don’t need the help of a

nanny. We’re all family. We’ll prepare ourselves to feel more at home and the atmosphere of a

housewarming. I like this real feeling.”

Rose also liked to do it herself. Besides, it wasn’t like she was holding a few tables of banquets. It was

just a simple table of dishes. She could handle it. She didn’t need a maid. Juana said that she would

help cook, but Edward and Rose refused. They said she just needed to come over for dinner.

In the end, Juana and her husband tactfully refused. They also wanted to give the young people some

space. Rose had already entered the family. This new family was Edward and Rose’s small family.

They invited good friends to visit and have a meal. Juana and her husband decided to stay home and

help look after the young ones. They did not want to disturb them.

With the elders around, they wouldn’t be able to have fun. They would even control the tone of their

conversation. Juana was already very satisfied. There were still many days to eat with Rose.

When Edward saw Rose walking toward the kitchen, he turned around and wanted to follow her.

However, he was stopped by Rose. She pushed his chest and said, “Talk to my brother and the others

for a while. I’ll show you something today.”

Meeting Edward’s worried gaze, Rose did not move at all. She nudged Edward again and continued,

“Go, go. Don’t worry. It’s not a big deal. It’s just a table of dishes. I can give you a table full of

delicacies.”

Edward, who still wanted to enter, was pushed out by Rose. The kitchen door was closed. Edward was

worried and looked at

Frank at a loss.

Seeing this, Frank crossed his legs and shook the orange in his hand. He threw it into the air and

caught it again. He glanced at the closed kitchen door, his busy sister inside, and her wooden

assistant, Sherri. He said, “Let her be. If we can’t eat, you can order takeout.”

Edward followed his gaze and looked at the kitchen again. He nodded helplessly.

Hackett was puzzled. Sherri couldn’t cook. Could she help? Could Rose cook? Could they have

something to eat today? His mind was filled with questions.

“Don’t worry, my sister can cook. Even if you starve to death, she won’t.” This was said to Hackett, who

was still looking for an answer. Seeing his distrust, Frank said proudly.

Rose was not useless. She had no problem supporting herself.

“I know

your sister…” Before he could finish speaking, three people came in from the door. They were holding

hands. The man was carrying a little guy in his arms. The boy wore a black cardigan and a white shirt

like his father.

“You’re late. Do you think you’re walking the red carpet?” Frank teased.

Trevon and Natalie were dressed very casually today. It was as if they were here to attend a friend’s

housewarming banquet.

He wore a white shirt, a black windbreaker, and casual pants. As for Natalie, she was wearing a sports

suit. What Jasper wore was the best.

Hackett was still as flashy as ever. He wore an orange sweater, white pants, and painted sneakers.

What Frank wore was much more minimalist. He wore a black sweater and blue jeans.

Edward was wearing a similar outfit as Trevon. He was wearing a cream-colored shirt and casual

pants. However, he had a pair of golden glasses on his nose bridge and looked more refined.

“Edward, congratulations on your newlywed move.” As she spoke, Natalie handed over the gift in her

hand. It was an expensive red wine prepared by Trevon and a bouquet.

Edward and Rose were not planning to hold their wedding in Athana. For Trevon, generous and happy,

he was more than willing to give this wedding gift.

Edward politely accepted the gift and said, “Thank you very much. The bouquet matches our house

very well.”

Trevon put his son down from his arms and put his arm around Natalie’s shoulder. He said generously,

“It’s just a small gift. I don’t intend to give you all my belongings as a wedding gift. Congratulations on

getting rid of your single status.”

Natalie smiled and said, “Edward, I’m glad you like it. It took Trevon and me a long while to pick it.”

“Alright, thank you. Rose is in the kitchen. Sit down for a while.”

When she heard that Rose was in the kitchen, Natalie looked in the direction of the kitchen. She Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

immediately saw Sherri serambling to get something. She frowned and had a bad feeling. “I’ll go take a

look: Trevon, look after our son.”

“Go on. I’ll keep an eye on him.”

Jasper had been looking for Ruby after he got out of Trevon’s arms. However, he did not say anything.

He was playing with balloons and toys on the table.

When Trevon saw that his son was not excited, he sat down beside Hackett and nudged Hackett’s leg

with his knee. “Where’s your daughter? Bring her over to play with us for a while. You don’t have to be

so wary of my son. Look, Frank was also defenseless against thieves.”

Upon hearing this, Frank was not angry. Instead, he smiled and leaned back on the sofa. He spread his

hands and smiled faintly. This fellow was feeling comfortable all over now. He wanted a son, and he got

a son. He wanted a daughter, and he got two. He said, “Continue to be smug. You’re floating in outer

space.”

Hackett was speechless. He thought, “Damn it, I knew Trevon was dreaming of Ruby to be his

daughter-in-law.”

Edward understood what Trevon meant, but he didn’t care. In any case, Rose was his wife. Just as

Trevon said, feelings couldn’t be guarded against.

He stood up and was about to walk out. “I’ll bring Ruby over.”

Trevon said politely. The corners of his mouth curled up. The more he looked at Edward, the more

pleasing he was to the eye. “Thank you.”

Hackett wanted to say, “Whose daughter is she? Did you get her father’s permission? I’m the father,

okay?”

Natalie walked into the kitchen and saw Sherri wiping her hands every time after washing a vegetable

leaf. She leaned against the door and crossed her arms. “Girl, conserve water. If you don’t like to get

wet, put on a glove. You can squeeze water out of your apron.”

Those who knew would think Sherri was washing the vegetables, while those who didn’t would think

she was washing her apron in the kitchen.

Seeing her best friend enter, Sherri sighed helplessly. She didn’t know how to cook. She said, “Be

content. I can still wash the vegetables.”

“Damn, Natalie, why are your breasts a few sizes bigger?” Sherri was about to touch them when

Natalie slapped her away. Rose stood at the side and prepared the ingredients. She laughed out loud

and said, “Isn’t this her second puberty? Didn’t

yours get bigger, too? Or did yours get smaller?”

Sherri shook her head and said, “But Natalie is several sizes bigger. No wonder I have so little milk.

Sure enough. No comparison, no harm. Oh.”

Natalie slapped her best friend’s butt heavily and went to wash her hands. Sherri shook her butt and

said, “Fuck, you just took advantage of me.”

“What do you want to do? I’ll help.” Natalie took an apron from the side and put it on. Then, she

instructed Sherri, “You’re almost done with your performance. You don’t have to occupy the kitchen

space anymore. Your mission today is to serve the dishes.”

Upon hearing that she did not need to be in the kitchen, Sherri quickly untied the apron, washed her

hands, and wiped them clean with a tissue.

Regarding Sherri’s sneaky actions, Rose was speechless.

Rose smiled. “Sherri, prepare some fruits for people in the living room.”

“Will do.”

Sherri told Natalie as she laid out the fruits, “You should have said so earlier. I couldn’t bear to leave

Rose alone in the kitchen. If you had come earlier, I wouldn’t have had to show my weakness. Alright,

you guys do your best. I’ll go and deliver the fruits. Call me if you need me.”

“You don’t know how to cook yourself, yet you blame me for coming late. If you had the heart to pick up

a spoon, you

eat.”

could

Sherri was free from the kitchen. As long as she didn’t need to do kitchen work, she could go in and out

to help carry things. She did not know how to cook. Moreover, she was incompatible with the kitchen.

When she first married into the Blackwell family, she was a little embarrassed to see Joy coming in and

out of the kitchen, so she downloaded an app on her phone. It taught people how to cook. She

mustered her courage and wanted to cook a meal for everyone. Judging from the video, it was easy.

Sherri could not help but lean against the bar and share with Natalie and Rose the shocking things she

had done in the Blackwell family. At the same time, she explained, “It’s not that I’m unwilling to help. I’m

just afraid that I’ll knock you all down.”

Natalie caught the main point in one second. She said, “You cooked? When?”

As expected of her best friend. With just a simple sentence, Natalie got the main point. “You’re right. I

cooked a meal for my in-laws at the Blackwell family before. It caused them to have loose bowels for a

few days. Then, the entire family ate oatmeal for a week.”

Rose stopped what she was doing in surprise and asked, “Did you drug them?”

If she hadn’t drugged them, how could she have knocked them all out?

Sherri quickly waved her hand. “How is that possible? I feel depressed, too. I followed the video on my

phone. It looks quite easy. Isn’t it just adding a little salt and sugar? One spoonful of this, one spoonful

of that, and a few turns. It’s done. Its color is quite good. I still don’t understand why they have diarrhea.

Perhaps they can’t stand my culinary skills.”

From then on, the entire Blackwell family was traumatized. Whenever Sherri entered the kitchen, all the

family members would ask her what she was doing.

As long as she didn’t go to cook, it was fine. It would hurt Sherri’s heart if they didn’t eat it after Sherri

made it. However, they were afraid that they would die if they ate it.

At this moment, Rose and Natalie wanted to solve the case so much. Natalie was the first to ask

questions. She was skilled as she cut the fish. Rose was preparing to make stewed beef in another pot.

Natalie said, “Miss, what did you cook to make the entire family eat vegetarian food for a week?”

Sherri began to recall. “Let me think. I seem to have cooked a fish, tomato, and mushroom soup…”

“That’s about it. My skills are limited, so I found the simplest.”

Natalie said, “Do you not have enough time to cook fish and stew pork mushroom soup?”

“It should be… more or less. It hasn’t been long or short. It’s alright. Well, forget it. I won’t cook in the

future anyway. This thing is too difficult. It’s not as easy as delivering a child.”

Sherri did not want to cook anymore. She was too frustrated. It was too much of a blow. It was okay if it

tasted terrible. However, the main point was that it could kill people. She learned it after she watched

the video. Once she started doing it, she failed. It was similar to poisoning.

Rose’s mouth was slightly agape as she laughed uncontrollably. Natalie and Rose could conclude that

it was probably because the mushroom and meat were not fully cooked.

Older people or people with weaker stomachs were very sensitive to these unfully cooked foods.

The three of them squeezed into the kitchen and laughed loudly. The atmosphere was very happy.

She even forgot to go out to deliver fruits.
