Chapter 140
The doctors at the outpatient clinic had gradually left to eat, and Natalie also shut down herputer.
She took off her white coat and hung it on the hook behind the door, recing it with her own jacket.
Sherri, wearing high heels, casually swung her keys and hummed a little song “Summer days drifting
away. To, uh oh, those summer nights. She pushed open the door with one hand. Hey Natalie, today
I’m taking you to eat something good. I heard from the nurses in our clinic that there’s a fantastic beef
stew and roast chicken ce nearby. They said it’s so good that I’ve been drooling all morning. Let’s
satisfy our cravings.”
Natalie calmly organized her things and asked, “If it’s not good, do we not have to pay?”
Sherri waved the keys in her hand and smiled. ‘Of course not. She had a look on her face that said she
had the final say.
While they were talking, someone knocked on the door. A delivery rider in a blue jacket stood in front of
them and politely said, “Are you Mrs. Wilson? This is your food delivery. Please sign for it.”
Sherri was puzzled and looked at her best friend with suspicion. “You ordered food and didn’t tell me?”
Natalie was also confused and shrugged her shoulders. “I didn’t order anything. Are you sure it’s not a
mistake?”
Sherri finally understood that her best friend really did not order anything. She walked closer and saw it
was truly Natalie’s name on the order list. However, the delivery was from Grand Manor.
Sherri felt like she had seen a ghost. The delivery rider naturally handed her the order list and said,
“The name on it is correct, Mrs. Wilson. You have a monthly subscription to our tform. Please sign
for it. I’m sorry, but I have to hurry and deliver to the next customer. Thank you
Grand Manor was supposed to make reservations. When did they start doing food delivery? Wait, she
remembered that thest time they ate at Grand Manor, Mr. Roberts or Hackett mentioned that Mr.
Wilson had shares in Grand Manor.
At this moment, Natalie stood there in a daze, and a name had already appeared in her mind. She felt
a bit annoyed that she did not take the food right away
Seeing that the delivery rider was still handing the food over, Sherri did not want to make things difficult
for him. It was not easy to earn money, especially for delivery jobs, which had to bepleted under
various weather conditions. So, she decided to ept it without hesitation. “Thank you. It’s been hard
work for you”
The delivery rider smiled and replied, “Not a problem. Enjoy your meal. Goodbye.”
After Sherri took the food and closed the door, she ced it on the table and cleared some space. “Are
all delivery riders so polite nowadays? Let’s eat. It’s a waste if we don’t. You can’t just throw it away.

Cherish the food that does note easily.”
Seeing her best friend’sck of reaction and silence, Sherri continued. “I told you, Mr. Wilson is a man
who is hard to understand. If he wants to apologize, just let him. If he sends us food, we’ll eat it.”
Natalie sat down and absentmindedly picked up her tableware. “How can I keep him away from me?
I’m content with my current life and don’t want it to be disrupted”
Just after she finished speaking, her phone vibrated. It was a text message from an unknown number.
[Don’t push away my goodwill. I don’t have any other intentions. I just hope you eat better every day.
I’m sorry.]
Natalie nced at the message, but her expression remained unchanged as she put down her phone,
choosing not to tell Sherri. She pretended as if she had not seen the texts.
“Who is it?”
Natalie replied, “Just a junk message.”
Sherri did not doubt it and continued thinking about the problem. After a moment, she could note
up with a solution and finally said, “There’s no way unless you get married and register tomorrow.
Otherwise, it’s probably difficult. It’s a mission impossible to convince Mr. Wilson. If you really find him
annoying, let Joseph deal with him.”
Natalie rolled her eyes at Sherri. “Do you think he is a gangster? How can my refined brother do such
things? Don’t lead him astray. If there’s a need, I’ll handle it myself. Don’t meddle, so he won’t worry.”
Sherri was not really looking down on her best friend. It was just that she had lostpletelyst time
and the scene was still vivid in her mind “Are you sure you can win against him?”
Natalie picked up arge prawn and ced it on Sherri’s te. “Eat and stop talking. Silence is golden
while enjoying the delicacies.”
“Don’t pretend to be cultured. Besides medical knowledge, you are not a gourmet.”
“How do you know I’m not?” The tople changed. “A few days ago, Trevon asked me to unblock him on
WhatsApp, but 1 ignored him. He has been sending messages through another number these past few
days. Why didn’t I realize that this person was so shameless?”
Sherri sneered. “Well, when you were together back in the days, he acted like he was always
defending himself against you as
if there were conspiracies around to harm him. Now, he’s got nobody to rely on. Let’s not respond.
Ignore him.”
“I have not responded. Honestly, I don’t want my current life to be disrupted. I have both money and a
kid. Why do I have to bring such trouble home?”
Sherri nodded in agreement. That makes sense. If you have any physical needs, we can go and find
some hot young guys”
Natalie’s hand holding the tableware trembled, and she shrugged her shoulders, trying to hold back her
Meanwhile, the delivery rider took off his gear and made a phone call to Jim Hawk. “Mr. Hawk, I’ve
delivered the food.”
Jim on the other end of the line acknowledged “Good. Did you slip up?”
The bodyguard recalled his acting skills and replied, “No, I acted quite well.”
Jim said generously. “You’ll get a raise this month. Remember to add a little ir every time you make a
delivery”
After hanging up the phone, Jim felt like a boss. No wonder bosses were so cocky. Having the
confidence that came with notck money was truly satisfying.
Being a boss, he could raise a sry at will. 2 million dors sry? I could make it 20 million dors.
Amazing.
After hanging up the phone, Jim had already yed out in his mind the gestures of a millionaire.
Trevon and Frank were already sitting on the couch eating when they saw Jim hang up the phone and
Upon hearing the voice, Jim snapped back to reality and scratched his head in embarrassment. “Oh,
it’s nothing. Ive delivered the things from Mr. Wilson, and Mrs. Wilson has received them.”
Trevon’s face remained unchanged, showing no emotions, but deep down, he hoped that Natalie had
epted the delivery. It meant there was still hope.
Unaware that Natalie and Sherri were already nning to find some young guys to solve their physical
needs, Trevon, who was still confident, thought this was a good start.
While eating, Frank sneered and teased. “Why being regretful now? If you had been so considerate
carlier, your child would be growing up by your side.”
Jim could not help but admire Frank’s sharp tongue. He always knew how to poke at Mr. Wilson’s sore
spot. Mr. Wilson probably regretted it, but there was no use to be regretful.
If there were a time machine, Mr. Wilson might have bankrupted himself to go back two years and act
like an ass-kisser.
Seeing Jim dazed. Trevon vented his frustration on him. “You’re behaving so absent-minded every day.
Can’t you eat properly?”
Although Jim was wrongly med, he could only think to himself. “I did not say anything. How did I
be the target?” Frank’s smile widened. “Don’t bother lecturing him. You can’t even solve your own
problem. Are you nning to keep sending things in secret?”
Trevon felt annoyed as well. His number was still blocked by Natalie on WhatsApp. If sending food
would not help show his sincerity, what could he send? Flowers? She had already said there was no
space in the office.
Frank came up with an idea. “Aren’t your number being blocked? Then send apologies through SMS
and WhatsApp messages through another number. If you send 1314 texts, Em sure she will respond.”
Listening to the number, Jim calcted it in his mind. 1314 texts, 30 days a month, 365 days a year.
That meant 3 and a half years!
How was this reasonable? It was tough perseverance. Mr. Roberts really knew how toe up with
bad ideas.
Trevon decisively rejected the suggestion without hesitation, his gaze sharp as he nced at Frank.
“Do you think I’m stupid
Frank knew it would end up like this and did not continue. “Well, you keep trying, and I will keep your
wedding gifts until you seed. Just don’t let them go to waste.”
After finishing his meal, Trevon took a tissue, wiped his mouth, and urately threw it into the trash
can with a beautiful are. Im looking forward to seeing the kind of woman who can capture your heart.”
Frank kicked Jim next to him. “Done eating? I’m going to smoke”
As soon as Jim heard of smoking, he quickly took a couple of bites before saying. “Okay, I’ll go out first
and have someone clean up.’
After Jim left, Trevon took the cigarette box from the corner of the table and took out a cigarette with his
mouth. Then, he, handed the cigarette to Frank. However, he was rejected. “I have my own”
“Look at you, publicly proiming your preference for men wherever you go. Now you’re picky about
my cigarette.”
Trevon exposed him.
Trevon and Frank bothzily leaned against the couch, spreading their legs. Trevon was a bit curious
and asked, “What kind of woman do you really like?”
Frank blew out a smoke ring and snorted. “Trying to fly before learning to walk? Are you trying to be a
matchmaker?” Trevon, rarely gossiping, wanted to rify. “Lily at your club has liked you for several
years. Don’t you n to ept her?” Frank casually smoked and replied, “My club recruits top
performers, not keeps them. Without her, Lithern Club would go bankrupt.”
Trevon epted Frank’s way of doing things and silently made a decision.
He even began to suspect that Frank truly liked men. After all these years, it seemed that no woman
had caught his eye.
