Chapter 539
The huge cantéen was spacious and bright. Many colleagues were already eating in it. Some were
chewing slowly, some were gulping down their food, and some were gossiping before eating.
Seeing Natalie bring her son in, a few colleagues quickly put down their plates and enthusiastically
wanted to greet her. “Hey, Natalie, is that your son? He’s so handsome.”
Her colleague half-squatted and reached out to hug Jasper. However, they respected Jasper very
much and asked for permission first. “Can I hug you?”
The other young lady also liked children very much. “Can I carry you?”
Not long after.
Many people surrounded Jasper. Even a few seniors wanted to hug him. Jasper had been well taken
care of by Theo. He had gained a lot of weight and was chubby. However, it could not hide the
handsome genes on his body. His long eyelashes fluttered.
Jasper refused mercilessly. “No.”
Then, he hid on Natalie’s shoulder and stopped turning his head, afraid that the aunties and uncles
would carry her away.
Ruby was already being carried by a young girl. Natalie apologized, “I’m sorry, this child is more shy.
It’ll be fine once he’s familiar with you.”
“It’s okay. I won’t carry you anymore. This is good. It’s safe. You won’t be carried away by strangers.
Your protective awareness is not bad. You’re really handsome.” She did not forget to praise Jasper at
the end.
Natalie did not refute his son’s good looks because he was indeed quite handsome. Excessive
modesty was simply hypocritical.
The few of them found a seat by the window and sat down. Sherri asked Rose to sit down and not
move. Then, she asked Ruby to sit at the side while she and Natalie went to get some food.
At the dining table, Rose pulled out a tissue and said to the two little guys, “Watch carefully and see
how I wipe the table. If you want to eat, you have to do it yourselves, understand? We have to help
Mommy. Mommy is very tired from working.” Ruby nodded. She took a piece of tissue and began to
wipe it according to Rose’s rhythm. However, Jasper did not move at all. He did not listen to Rose’s lies
at all. It was as if she did not say anything to him.
Rose saw more and more Trevon in Jasper. She said, “Hey, kid, are you pretending to be cold to me?
Do you not even listen/ to Aunt Rose anymore?”
Jasper rolled her eyes. “Auntie, it’s quite clean.”
Rose looked at the clean table and choked. She only did this to tell them to help when they were
eating.
Sherri and Natalie came over with the dishes. The two of them chatted and laughed. Two plates were
placed on the table. Natalie turned around and went to get food again. There were a total of three
plates.
After placing the last plate on the table, Natalie smiled and said, “Don’t tell people that you didn’t have
enough to eat here. If it’s not enough, I’ll go get more.”
Rose teased and gave her a thumbs-up. “You really can do whatever you want in your own cafeteria,
awesome.”
Ruby didn’t know what Rose meant. She learned from her aunt and gave Natalie a thumbs-up.
“Awesome.”
Natalie said, “My goddaughter knows the word awesome? That’s great. Hehe, quickly eat. Tell me what
you want to eat, okay?”
Seeing the familiar pizza on the table, Rose asked in confusion, “Do you have such a pizza every day?”
Natalie took out the dishes from the plate and handed the macaroni to the two little guys. She replied,
“Yes, isn’t it winter now? There must be pizza.”
Sherri bit on the fork, narrowed her eyes and pondered for a few seconds. With one hand supporting
her cheek, she said, “You guys… Don’t you think this pizza looks familiar?”
Natalie sat down beside her son and picked up some food for him to eat. “Isn’t it the kind we ate in the
hospital previously? Isn’t this the same? What’s the difference?”
“Let me try it and see if there’s any difference.” Rose picked up a fork and picked up a piece for the two
little guys. Then, she picked up a piece for herself. It was steaming hot. She reminded the children
beside her, “It’s a little hot. Blow on it before eating.”
Ruby continued to blow on it like her aunt. Then, she stuffed it into her mouth. As for Jasper, he did not
do this at all. He directly let the pizza cool on the plate before moving his fork. It saved him a lot of
effort.
After finishing a mouthful of food, Sherri and Rose looked at each other at the same time. Then, they
looked at Natalie, who
was feeding the child. “Natalie.”
Natalie met their strange gazes and asked, “What?”
Sherri swallowed the food in her mouth. “Have you eaten food from the canteen?”
Natalie did not stop eating and continued to pick up food for the two little guys. “Are you talking
nonsense? If I don’t eat here, where should I eat? In the streets?”
“Then, did you notice that the taste is wrong? It tastes the same as what we ate in the cafeteria of
Athana Hospital. I’m talking about the past, not the current cafeteria.” Roșe voiced her thoughts.
“I’ve only eaten there twice or once. Back then, Trevon would go out with me to eat when he was free.
The taste is about the same.” Natalie really did not care much. The dishes she cooked during her
confinement period were similar to this. She thought that all chefs with good culinary skills were like
this.
Their cookings all tasted similar.
Sherri stretched out an index finger and kept shaking it left and right to indicate that this was not the
case. She glanced at her future son-in-law, who was eating happily, and her daughter beside her,
planning to go to the kitchen to investigate. Seeing her best friend get up without eating, Natalie knew
that she was up to no good. “You’re not thinking of going to the kitchen, are you?”
“Yes, you’re right.”
Natalie looked at her best friend speechlessly, who was clearly about to cause trouble. “Yes, my ass.
Eat first. Ruby isn’t even full yet. The pizza is going to get cold. Others only eat the food more when
they find it delicious, while you want to find the chef right away? What a strange approach.”
How could these words stop Sherri, who was filled with the desire to explore? She had long separated
her butt from the stool. Before she left, she even asked Rose to take care of Ruby. “Rose, help me look
after Ruby for a while. I’ll go and verify the truth and come back to share it with you.”
Afraid that her best friend would not be able to find the kitchen door, Natalie stood up helplessly.
Worried that Rose would not be able to take care of two children by herself, she planned to carry her
son over.
“Let Jasper stay here. I can keep an eye on him. It’s not like you guys are leaving for days. I’m a
pediatrician. I have a way to take care of them. Hurry up and keep an eye on Sherri.”
Compared to the two children, Rose was more worried about the evil Sherri.
“Okay, Jasper and Ruby, you can’t get off the stool. You can only sit on the stool. Do you hear me? The
two of us will be back soon.”
Ruby answered obediently, “Okay.”
“Kay,” Jasper replied lightly. He continued to eat macaroni and beans. He was not picky at all because
his father would be unhappy if he was.
Rose stared at Jasper and thought, “Is coldness inherited? Will warmth also be inherited in the future?”
There were three doors at the entrance of the kitchen. Sherri did not know which door to push open.
Natalie’s helpless voice came from behind. “I told you not to mess around, but you insisted on coming,
yet you don’t even know which door to open.”
As she spoke, she pushed open one of the doors. The huge, clean kitchen appeared in front of Sherri,
but her attention was not on it. It was on the chef.
There was more than one chef in the room. There were several of them, one in charge of pastries, one
in charge of steaming, and
many more…
Sherri asked with a smile, “Can I ask who made this pizza and sausage? It’s so delicious. It tastes like
my mother. I want to meet the chef.”
Natalie was speechless.
Half an hour later.
Sherri was as proud as a Sherlock Holmes. With a halo above her head, she strode back to the
cafeteria with confidence.
Seeing the two of them return, Rose asked anxiously, “How did it go? Have you cracked the case? Is it
what we think it is?”
“Of course. You must trust a woman’s sixth sense, Who am I? I’m Detective Landor. Please call me
Sherlock Landor.”
Natalie looked at her in disdain. “Just watch her brag.”
Sherri said, “Just tell me if I’in good or not. Did I solve the case? I already said that my mouth is the
best proof.” “Yes, yes, yes. You have a gold-rimmed mouth. Eat quickly. The pizza is already cold.”
The conversation between the two of them allowed Rose to roughly understand that the chef had some
inside information.
09:59
“So, what secret did you find exactly Detective Landor? Tell me.”
Sherri took a bite of macaroni and picked up the sausage. The two little guys looked at the excited
Sherri and kept staring. “Eat quickly,” She said to the kids.
Then, she shared it with Rose. “Let me tell you, this chef was originally a chef from our hospital. He
was invited over when Natalie was pregnant. After Natalie gave birth, he resigned. I was wondering
why the taste changed after I returned from maternity leave. So that’s the why. Now that Natalie is here
to work, he’s also here to work. Think about it. Think about it carefully.”
Rose was speechless.
After being stunned for a while, she finally figured it out. “So this is all Trevon’s doing?”
Sherri snapped her fingers. “That’s right. It’s Mr. Wilson’s masterpiece. Natalie, your Old Trevon is quite
well-hidden. I remember that during your pregnancy, you didn’t let him come to the hospital to deliver
food to you in order to keep a low profile. But, in the end, he secretly brought the chef home. I
wondered why the canteen’s food was upgraded during that period. It turns out that I’ve thanked the
director for nothing. A few days ago, I even slandered the director for bringing the chef home for his
own use.”
“Shut up. Hurry up mouth.
and eat. It’s like even food can’t shut your mouth.” As Rose spoke, she stuffed a fried egg down
Sherri’s
Ruby covered her mouth and laughed. “Sherri, feed food.”
As it was a sunny side up and the egg yolk was raw, Sherri sprayed yellow liquid at Natalie as soon as
she spoke. Natalie subconsciously turned sideways, but she was still hit. She took a tissue and wiped
it. “I’m about to really beat you to death. Are you eating or not?”
Sherri continued to tease her. She was really happy for Natalie. “Are you happy? Are you touched? Are
you surprised? Are you shocked?”
“Are you a good sandbag?”
“I’m just joking. I know you’re overjoyed inside. You’re too old to be acting like a brute. Can’t you be as
gentle as me?” Sherri’s coquettish voice gave people goosebumps.
As she spoke, she even made a hand gesture and slowly picked up the food, deliberately acting
extremely elegant. Even she herself found it uncomfortable to act like this.
Natalie, on the other hand, looked like she did not mind watching Sherrie continue acting. Gentle? This
word clearly had nothing to do with Sherri.
Rose felt that Sherri probably had some misunderstanding of what being gentle meant.
After lunch, because the two children were going to take an afternoon nap and there were two younger
children at home, Sherri also had a younger child at home, and the three of them parted ways.
Even Natalie did not expect that Sherri and the others would be able to solve a case after coming to the
canteen for a meal.
At night.
Because Trevon had just returned to work, he had a lot of things to do. He had returned home rather
late these days. After washing up the two children, Natalie hid under the blanket to read and recharge.

The sound of tires rubbing against the ground came from downstairs. Then, there was silence. The
engine must have stopped. She knew that Trevon was back.
After a while, the door was pushed open. She glanced at the man who came in with the cold wind.
“You’re back. Go take a shower first. I’ll get you some clothes.”
“No need. Stay in bed. I’ll just take it in.” The weather was rather cold, and he did not want her to leave
the bed.
Fifteen minutes later, the man came out in his pajamas. “Why aren’t you asleep?”
Natalie patted the bed and gestured for him to come over. “Let me ask you something.”
“Why are you so serious? I didn’t do anything wrong.”
Trevon promised first.
“What happened to the chef? Did you arrange it?” Although she already knew the answer, she still
wanted to hear it from him.
Hearing this, Trevon smiled. He thought that she would never notice. “How did you find out?”
He basically admitted that it was his doing.
“This might be a disappointment. I didn’t find out. It was Sherri who did. Not your wife.”
After saying that, Natalie spread her hands helplessly.
Trevon lifted the blanket and lay down. “I didn’t plan to tell you either. I just wanted you to eat better. I
didn’t mean anything else. Previously, you didn’t let me deliver lunch when you were pregnant. So, I NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
had no choice but to change the chef in your hospital.”
“And now you’ve arranged for the chef to go to the station. Trevon, aren’t you afraid of spoiling me?”
The man said seriously and confidently, “No, I have the ability. You can do whatever you want.”
The topic changed. Trevon did not want Natalie to keep dwelling on this question. As long as she ate
well, it was enough. “This morning, the servant said that there were a lot of ointment shells and
painkillers in the trash of Lena’s room. It’s not appropriate for me to ask. Take her for a checkup
tomorrow.”
“Okay, I’ll ask her tomorrow.”
Lena had always only relayed good news but not bad news. She never said that she was feeling unwell
because she did not want Natalie to worry.
