Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 248

A few hours later, they arrived at Grand Manor.

After spending time together on the island, everyone returned to their rooms subconsciously. Ava was

exhausted after sitting in the car for so long. She waved at Natalie, saying that she was going back to

Joseph’s room to catch up on her sleep.

The room that Trevon had booked had been taken by Hackett’s family. Nonetheless, he was happy that

it had been taken.

Jim rode with Terrell on the way back. He was already waiting at the entrance of Grand Manor when

they arrived.

Trevon walked into the room with Jasper in one hand and Natalie’s hand in his other hand. After Jim

brought their luggage up for them, he left quickly as he was afraid that he would see something he

shouldn’t.

After Jim left, Trevon put Jasper down on the sofa in the living room and turned on Scooby-Doo for him

on the TV. He instructed, “Watch for half an hour and then take your nap.”

As he spoke, he took a clock over and pointed at it. He told Jasper when he should turn off the TV and

go back to the room for his nap.

Jasper looked at the clock seriously. Although he did not know what half an hour was, he still agreed

obediently to his father’s order. “Okay.”

After settling his son down, Trevon walked into the room. Natalie was sorting out the things in the

suitcase. He walked over and wrapped his arms around her waist. “Honey”

Natalie, who was hanging clothes in the wardrobe, turned around “What is it? What do you want now?”

Hearing this, Trevon smiled. He was gentle last night. Why was Natalie so guarded against him?

“Honey, I’m not sex-crazed. nor am I an animal that only thinks about lovemaking. 1 am not in heat all

the time.”

Hearing his explanation, she burst out laughing. After hanging up the clothes, she turned around and

wrap her arms slowly. around his neck. She looked up at him. Their eyes met, and she said, “Did I

misunderstand you then? It’s your fault for always thinking about sex.”

He teased her all the time. Could she be blamed for thinking the worst?

Trevon smiled faintly and leaned down to rub the tip of his nose against hers. His eyes were filled with

affection. “My bad. It’s mainly because I can’t resist you.”

She blushed and smiled, then stood on her tiptoes and quickly kissed him on his cheek.

After being in a daze for a few seconds. Trevon finally came back to his senses. His eyes were filled

with affection as he said hoarsely, “Honey, you’re making me not want to go out.”

Natalie acted as if she was facing a great enemy. She pinched him on his waist in an attempt to wake

him up. “Trevon, be sensible. Our son is just outside of the room.”

Trevon smiled and asked teasingly, “Can we do it tonight then?”

He leaned closer and whispered into her reddened ears, “I can never have enough of you.”

After saying that, he retreated and distanced himself a little. Seeing that Natalie was blushing harder

and harder, he was in an inexplicably good mood. The first description of her that popped up in his

mind was “cute”.

Some said that if a man found a girl cute, he had already fallen for her. He had already accepted all her

flaws. Even if she was troublesome or throwing a tantrum, he would still think that she was being cute,

Natalie did not agree or refuse. She hugged his neck and provoked, “It depends on how energetic you

are.”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled meaningfully. It was as if they had a tacit

understanding.

Trevon was in a good mood. He pecked the corner of her lips a few times and said hoarsely, ‘Im going

out for a while. I won’t be back for dinner. Eat with Ava and the others. If you need anything, just call

Jim or go to the manager. Of course, you can also call me.”

Natalie wasn’t the kind of girl who turned clingy as soon as she had sex with a man. She understood

very well that they both needed to work on their own careers. No matter how loving they were, they

should give each other space. “Got it.”

One would truly understand the importance of a career when one had to ask his or her partner for

money all the time.

After Trevon left, Natalie turned off Jasper’s television and asked him to take a nap. The boy kept his

promise and really climbed into bed himself. He tucked himself in and closed his eyes for his nap.

Trevon went straight to Lithern Club after leaving Grand Manor. He pushed the door of Frank’s office

open and found that it was empty. It seemed that Frank had not come to work yet.

He sat down on Frank’s chair and took out a box of chewing gum from his pocket. He popped one into

his mouth and chewed slowly.

He leaned lazily against the back of Frank’s chair. It was quite comfortable No wonder Frank always

liked to sit. His hands were restless and turned on Frank’s computer absent-mindedly.

The screen could only be unlocked with a password. It seemed that Frank was hiding something in it.

Even though Trevon could always hack into it, he did not do so. He pushed the mouse away out of

boredom.

He rested his legs on the table and leaned his head back against the back of the chair. Then, he closed

his eyes to take a rest.

About half an hour later, Frank pushed the door open slowly. He did not stride in immediately Instead,

he leaned lazily against the door frame and looked at the man who was in his seat

Trevon had already changed into a suit and leather shoes. He had taken off his jacket and hung it on

the back of the chair. He had unbuttoned the buttons at the cuffs of his white shirt, revealing his tanned

skin. The blue wristwatch on his wrist was exposed in the air He looked noble and unapproachable.

It was hard to imagine that such a man would one day be bound by love.

After pausing for a while, Frank still did not walk further into the room. He leaned against the door

frame and slowly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He shook it twice, took out a cigarette,

and put it in his mouth. Then, he lit it up with the lighter with a click.

Trevon had known that Frank was there from the moment he heard his footsteps. However, he had

been silent the entire time. Now, he said with his eyes still closed, “Are you guarding the door?”

Frank took a drag of his cigarette and threw the black sweater that had been hanging on his shoulder

on the sofa. He strode. into the office and walked up to the desk. He leaned casually on the desk as he

said to Trevon face-to-face. Tm just giving you a chance to take over.”

At his words, Trevon opened his eyes and looked at Frank, who was smoking and covered in mist. “Did

you take your sister home?”

Frank replied indifferently. “You’ve finished getting all lovey-dovey with your ex-wife. How can I not

have enough time to send her off?”

Trevon didn’t answer. He just smiled faintly. The top two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, and the

scratches on his neck were clearly visible. Frank’s sharp eyes noticed that at once and he knew what

happened immediately. “Oh. You had fun last night.”

Trevon touched his neck subconsciously. “Do you have a problem with that?”

Frank took a long drag of his cigarette and blew out a huge smoke ring in Trevon’s direction. He then

stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray. “Why would I have a problem with that, as long as you weren’t

having fun with me? I wouldn’t even care if you have fun for three days and nights in a row, as long as

your ex-wife can withstand your torture.”

Trevon kicked him with the foot that was propped on the table. “Get lost, I don’t like men.”

Frank said, “I know. You don’t have to repeat yourself. I don’t have the habit of watching it live. You

don’t have to invite me to prove it.”

Trevon replied. “In your dreams.”

Frank glanced at his chair and said, “Aren’t you also dreaming? By sitting in my chair, are you trying to

take over?”

Trevon thought to himself, “Do I look like I’m interested in his office? What nonsense is he talking

about?”

Frank changed the topic. He jumped down from the desk and walked straight to the safe. He entered

the password and took out a file from within before closing it again.

He then threw the documents on the table. “Take a look.”

Trevon sat up straight and put his legs down. He reached out and opened the file with his slender

fingers. A photo fell out from within. He picked it up and saw that it was a middle-aged man wearing a

pair of black-framed glasses. He had the looks of a researcher.

He took out the documents within. There were 10 pages. One was the man’s information, and the rest

were the accounts of Elena’s dealings with this man.

Trevon took a brief look at the information and mocked, “From the looks of it, it has been going on for

23 years. In that case, this woman has been after the position of Mrs. Foster for a long time”

Frank replied carrlessly. “You can put it that way. This man is Elena’s distant cousin. He was originally a

doctor in the hospital’s laboratory department. However, he was not professional enough as he often

did DNA checks for others in private. After he was reported, he was expelled by the hospital. With such

a history, no hospital in the area where he was staying was willing to hire him. That’s why he went

overseas to find a job. He’s quite smart and knows how to mix chemical elements together. In the end,

he became a perfume expert through self-studies.”

Trevon thought to himself, “Once a talent goes down the wrong path, he or she would become

dangerous. Unfortunately, greed is enough to destroy a man’s original intention and goodwill.”

When Frank saw that Trevon did not speak, he crossed his hands behind his head and lay on the sofa.

“From the looks of it,

Elena’s relationship with him is only monetary. She also purchased perfumes from him. It has nothing

to do with what happened to your mother-in-law, which you are investigating.”

Trevon’s eyes turned cold as he stared at the information. “Keep looking into it and help me keep an

eye on my aunt, Peggy.”

Frank lay on the sofa with his legs crossed and kept shaking it carelessly. “Am I one of your

subordinates? How much are you. paying me? Transfer the money first, then I’d start working

Trevon’s bad mood a second ago was ruined by Frank’s sloppy and unrestrained attitude. He smiled

and teased, “What do you think Ava sees in you?”

He thought that Frank would not answer this question. but in less than half a second, he said, “What do

you think?”

Trevon replied harshly, “I can’t guess what a girl is thinking as they are so unpredictable. However, Ava

said that there are only 10 days left now for her to pursue you. If she can’t woo you then, she will go

back to Sapphire City to find a handsome man to date. I heard from Natalie that Ava is especially

popular amongst boys at the university. In addition, no one knows that she is the daughter of the Turner

family. That would only make more people want to pursue her. I wonder if she would fall in love with

any of the boys when she returns to Sapphire City.”

Frank kicked him out unhappily. “You’re so annoying. Leave after reading the file. Don’t disturb my

sleep.

Trevon stood up and smoothed his clothes out. He picked up his jacket and strode towards the door.

When he reached the door, he reminded Frank again. “You have to grasp your opportunity. Don’t be

like me. Don’t regret it only when it is already too late. Take this as a piece of advice from me.”

Frank did not open his eyes. It was unknown if he was listening, but his long eyelashes kept trembling.

If one did not look carefully, one would think that he was really asleep.
