Chapter 248


    A few hourster, they arrived at Grand Manor.


    After spending time together on the ind, 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. Nheless, 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 gentlest 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 exnation, she burst outughing. 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 med 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 epted all her


    ws. 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 note 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 leanedzily against the back of Frank’s chair. It was quitefortable No wonder Frank always


    liked to sit. His hands were restless and turned on Frank’sputer 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 hourter, Frank pushed the door open slowly. He did not stride in immediately Instead,


    he leanedzily 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 ck 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 funst 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 nced 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 ck-framed sses. 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 ounts 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’sboratory 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 be


    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 andy on the sofa.


    “From the looks of it,


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


    to do with what happened to your mother-inw, 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.”


    Franky 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


    popr 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 toote. 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 eyshes kept trembling.


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