Chapter 175
After canceling her leave, Natalie Foster went to take a look at Ethan White again, but he had not
regained consciousness
yel
She then went to the office to check with the attending doctor. After finding out that Ethan should regain
consciousness in the next few days, she felt much more relieved.
It was good as long as all of them could survive.
Just as Natalie was thinking about this, her cell phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was a call
from Joseph Turner. She answered the call, feeling somewhat guilty. “Joseph”
On the other end of the line. Joseph’s voice was as gentle as ever. “How are you and Jaspertely?
Your aunt keeps nagging me every day to make a call, saying that you only tell us good news and
never let us know when something bad happens”
Natalie’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that her older cousin knew? However, she didn’t detect any
hint of anger in his
tone.
Natalie analyzed in her mind every word Joseph said. From the looks of it, he did not seem to know
about this matter. She braced herself and continued to lie. I’m doing quite good, Joseph. When are you
Joseph chuckled softly “For the past few days, Ava has been moring to go over earlier. We’re all
getting a headache from her nagging, so we’ll being next week. There’s no rule in Athana stating
that we can’t go and pay our respects to our ancestors earlier, is there?”
Natalie quickly said, “No, no. Joseph. You guys cane whenever you want. All of you decide on a
day toe and tell me so that I can take leave in advance. I have promised Ava that I will take leave
to keep herpany when shees here” Joseph’s words sessfully dispelled Natalie’s doubts.
After all, Ava had indeed sent her a messagest week saying that she wanted toe to Athana
ahead of schedule.
In Azurnd, in the CEO’s office somewhere in Sapphire City, after the man ended the phone call, he
took off his sses and massaged the spot between his eyebrows to lessen his headache. He seemed
a little helpless. Pat ck, who was standing beside him, spoke up. “Sir, do we need to send another
group of people to protect Miss Natalie?
The bodyguards under Ethan had indeed promised Natalie not to tell Joseph, but they were still the
Turner family’s bodyguards after all. They knew the consequences of not reporting what they knew.
After much reconsideration, they still called Pat ck to report what had happened.
Joseph’s eyes were deep, dark, and unfathomable. He closed his eyes and sighed before replying.

There’s no need. Since
someone has cleaned up the mess for free, there’s no need to tell the chairman and the rest about
this”
Pat stood respectfully with his hands crossed in front of him. He was hesitating whether to plead for
mercy. “Mr. Turner,
about Ethan
“He made the biggest mistake of all. He was careless. You know what that means”
Pat lowered his head and gave up. He knew that the Turner family’s rules could not be bent, but he still
wanted to plead for
Ethan
After a moment, Joseph said in a low voice, “This is the first and thest time” He knew that the reason
Natalie hid it from him was primarily because of Ethan. This girl was afraid of implicating others. If
Joseph insisted on punishing Ethan, Natalie would probably feel very bad.
Pat did not expect Joseph, who had always been a man of his word, to relent. He quickly thanked him.
“Thank you, Mr.
Turner.”
Joseph closed his eyes and pretended to nap. The fact that Natalie could let that man get close to her
again meant only one thing. As her older cousin, Joseph could protect her and ensure that she did not
have to worry about food and clothing. However, he could not get involved in everything, for example,
her feelings. He could not interfere too much.
However, if that man wanted to marry Natalie again, it would not be that easy. It wouldn’t be that easy
for anyone to marry a girl from the Turner family.
Sherri Landor and Hackett ckwell came out of the washroom. Natalie was a little puzzled over why
they came out of the same washroom when they were of different genders. However, she did not know
the exact situation and it was also not the time to ask. “Ill go back first. Have a good day at work.”
Actually, Sherri had only gone in to wash her face while Hackett had gone to the entrance to offer his
sleeve.
Sherri looked at Natalie worriedly. “I applied for leave yesterday. Why don’t I keep youpany?”
Hackett received Trevon’s gaze which was as sharp as a de and quickly tugged at the dumb foolish
woman beside him. “Do what you need to do. It’s none of your business.” He gestured with his chin in
the direction of Trevon Sherri was no fool How could she not understand what Hackett meant? It was
just that she did not fully trust Trevon Wilson yet She was afraid that he would hurt Natalie again and
easy for Trevon to take advantage of Natalie’spse in rational thought. Thus, Sherri
wanted to speak again
Natalie stopped her, however “It’s okay I’m not as fragile as you think. I won’t copse. I still have to
take care of Jasper. Don’t worry
Sherri felt more relieved when she heard that. That was right Things were different now. She and
Natalie were already parents. They couldn’t only think about themselves Their children still had to rely
on them.
Natalie tried to put on a brave front and waved at Sherri bnd her. As she looked at both Trevon and
her best friend’s back profiles moving off together. Sherri’s conviction began to waver She felt that it
would be good if Trevon had really changed and treated Natalie well. At least, from their back profiles,
they really looked like a mate hing couple.
Hackett, who was beside her, rudely interrupted Sherri’s thoughts. “What are you thinking? You think
they’re a perfect match”“
Sherri asked in return, “Don’t you think so?”
Hackett shrugged. “Aren’t we a perfect matche n’t your daughter prettier than his son? Aren’t I more
handsome than Trevon Is there anything wrong with your eyesight?”
Sherri wanted to retort that there was indeed something goddamn wrong with her eyesight and that
was why she gave Hackett a call. If she had good eyesight, she would never have called him.
Dream on, Hackett.
He couldn’t even tell if he was more handsome than Trevon. Sherri retorted sarcastically, “Mr.
ckwell, you’re definitely the most handsome man in the world, aren’t you?”
Hackett did not care if Sherri was being sarcastic or sincere. Anyway, people liked to hear
you up from work in the afternoon. I have toa help. Trevon investigate the nuastermind”
Sherri took out her cell phone and checked the time. It was almost || o’clock. “I didn’t ask you to pick
me up”
Hackett burst intoughter. If they were to have a trial period and see who would be the first to fall in
love, he really suspected that he would be the one to fall in love This woman did not seem to like him at
all. Her face was filled with disdain. It was a defeat for him. To be fair, he, Hackett ckwell, was also a
handsome man who was loved by everyone, yet thisdy Miss Landor did not fancy him.
It couldn’t be helped since she was his make-believe girlfriend. “Fine. I’m the one who insists on
fetching you, girlfriend” Thest word was emphasized through gritted teeth.
The word “girlfriend” made Sherri blush a little for some reason. Her heart was pounding. She
pretended to be calm and waved her hand to chase him away. “Alright, go quickly. Let me know when
you find the mastermind.” She was getting good at such exchanges
“Got it, ma’am.”
Sherri’s smile widened. She suddenly felt that it was quite good to hang out with this guy.
Falling unknowingly into the trap was the most fatal Could she be one of those?
As she walked out of the parking lot, Natalie did not follow Trevon to the garage Instead, she went to
where her two-wheeler was parked. Trevon followed closely behind and asked, “Are you nning to
ride back?”
“I can’t leave it in the hospital” Natalie’s grandfather had given it to her. Even if she didn’t ride it, she still
had to park it away properly.
Trevon walked quickly to face Natalie and nced at her dress. He frowned. “Tll be the main rider. You
ride pillion.”
“Huh? Was he nning to ride with her?
“Do you think your dress is appropriate?” When the wind blew, all of Natalie’s inner beauty would be
exposed to outsiders. Trevon would feel like a cuckold.
In reality, Natalie wanted to go to the suburbs to release her suppressed emotions to get back into the
right state of mind. How could she release her emotions now that Trevon wanted toe with her?
She turned him down. “Why don’t we take the car back? I’ll ride it tomorrow.” Since she couldn’t release
emotions, she might as well shelf it first. There was no hurry.
Trevon had already picked up the helmet, but there was only one. This helmet made him very
ufortable, especially the signature on it. Although he was ufortable, safety was still
paramount, so he put the helmet on Natalie’s head and helped her tidy her loose hair. “My riding skills
are not inferior to yours. You can give it a try”
Ignoring the woman’s stunned expression, Trevon swung one leg over the motorcycle straightaway. As
his long legs supported the motorcycle, he said to the woman behind him, “Give me the key. Get on
This was the reason Natalie didn’t like to wear skirts. She still had to act alldylike when she wanted
to ride a motorcycle. And she couldn’t make any big sweeping movements in case of idental
exposure. It was unrealistic to sit with her legs
astride the motorcycle in a skirt Forget it. She should sit udeways just like Sherri did in the past and fold
the skirt under her butt to hold it down. This way, when the wind blew her underskirt glory wouldn’t be
exposed
Previously, a roommate at the university said that she drove to school and hitched. de back Then,
when she woke up in the morning and couldn’t find her car, she called the police. In the end, when the
police i heckeil the school campus, they discovered she didn’t drive her car back the day before. At that
time Natalie and Sherry though hat the roomm joking Now that Natalie thought about it, such a thing
could indeed happen when one wasn’t thinking clearly
For example there was another roommate

After waiting for a long time, the woman still did not get on Trevon turned his head and nced at her

Trevon still remembered that Hackett had taken a photo of Natalie putting away and uploaded it to the
chat group. Trevon had saved that shot in his cloud storage
Natalie ced the helmet on the stone table in the pavilion and also leaned against the railing. Her
actions mirrored Trevon’s, but she was looking at the scenery of densely packed buildings whereas
Trevon was looking at Natalie
Was this a case of when one was looking at the scenery from the pavilion, another person looking at
the scenery was looking
at the former!
As she surveyed more than half of Athana, Natalie realized that she was very insignificant, pist like a
speck of dust. After her grandfather departed, no one lit the lights at home and waited for her to go
home anymore. Now, there was one, but Natalie had lost her again. The suffocating feeling in Natalie’s
chest surged again
After a while she said. “Ever since I got pregnant with Jasper. I’ve stopped smoking. Actually, I don’t
have much of a smoking addiction. At most. Ill smoke one when I’m frustrated 1 hascally don’t smoke
anymore I’m also used to it now”
This was the first time Natalie had told Trevon about herself. It was a dull narrative, but it made
Trevon’s heart ache.
He stuffed the cigarette into the cigarette pack and said calmly. “Since you don’t smoke. I’ll quit too.”
She turned her head in surprise “Huh”
Pretending to be serious. Trevon said, “hit it written on the pack that smoking is bad for your health?”
Natalie burst outug
