Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
Chapter 26

Chapter 26

The entrance to the Lovers' Cafe erupted with a commotion, and many young ladies exclaimed in delight.

"Oh my, is that a celebrity? He's so handsome!"

"Quick, let's take some pictures!"

"Oh, those two men in suits look so mysterious and cool."

"I prefer the sunny boy in the coat."

"I like them all!"

The entire hall was already abuzz with whispers, and numerous admiring glances were cast their

way.

Three men entered, resembling stars in their own right.

Two were impeccably dressed in professional suits, towering above the crowd. Their faces displayed an icy aloofness as if they were untouchable. and distant.

Their appearances were both frigid and unmatched, emanating an air of unapproachability.

However, the last one of them sported a beige reversible cashmere coat, exuding a handsome and cheerful aura. The corners of his mouth were always curled into a smile.

Hackett, who was always a woman killer, said, "Mr. Wilson, why are you suddenly in the mood to come here today?"

Trevon, who didn't want to respond to Hackett, wore a cold expression, showing disdain for Hackett's flirtatious and insincere smile.

The three individuals went to the second floor, opting for a private room. Although Hackett favored a livelier atmosphere, the other two preferred a quiet setting. In the end, the majority ruled, resulting in a 2-to-1 decision, and Hackett had to make compromises.

Trevon and Frank didn't like the bustling activity in the downstairs hall.

Meanwhile, Hackett, searching for a seat, spotted Natalie and Sherri by the window. Perhaps Sherri's vibrant red coat caught his attention at a glance.

Chapter 26

Before Trevon could make his way upstairs, Hackett pulled him toward Natalie, and he was preparing to share a table with Natalie and Sherri.

Hackett noticed that the sofa they were sitting on could accommodate all three of them, with Natalie and Sherri seated opposite each other. This arrangement allowed Hackett to sit beside Natalie. He was very confident in his plan.

"Come on. I see my crush. Let's go sit over there and join them at their table. It'll be funnier with more people. Trevon and Frank simultaneously followed Hackett's gaze and looked in the direction Hackett was pulling them. As expected, Natalie was there, sipping her coffee.

Frank turned to Trevon, raised an eyebrow, and looked meaningfully at the table in the corner.

Feeling their burning gazes, Natalie and Sherri, engrossed in conversation, raised their heads. Natalie appeared composed. After having just finished an argument with Trevon in the morning, she had already straightened out her thinking. However, Sherri was taken aback.

"I simply cannot engage in gossip or speak ill of others behind their backs. Well, speak of the devil. Here comes Trevon now!" she thought.

Natalie, somewhat immune to the presence of these people, kept her composure and chose not to pay them much attention. Instead, she lowered her head and sipped her coffee.

Observing her reaction, Trevon's mindset suddenly shifted gears.

He strode to approach her.

As Hackett was about to sit next to Natalie, his jacket collar was seized from behind, and he was pulled away. Then, Trevon took the seat beside Natalie.

Frank, who witnessed this scene, wasn't surprised. On the contrary, he found it amusing since Trevon appeared somewhat different now.

Frank didn't sit beside Sherri but instead pulled up a stool and sat on the other side.

Hackett took a deep breath, refraining from displaying his anger in front of his crush and tarnishing his image. He could only swallow his Chyšet 20

frustration.

Seeing that Hackett sat beside her, Sherri turned her head with extreme displeasure and asked, "Mr. Blackwell, did you have my consent to sit here?"

Holding his chin in his hands, Hackett gazed at Natalie with infatuation, disregarding Sherri as he retorted. "Would you mind if I sit here? Oh, not at all. Well then, I'll sit here."

Sherri remained speechless, wondering, "Was he just talking to himself? Something must be wrong with his mind, and he went out without medication." Sherri managed to stay calm as she reminded herself that he had got something on her.

Hackett was about to speak when the waiter arrived, leaving him no choice but to order his coffee first.

Just as the coffee arrived and Hackett prepared to resume his. conversation with Natalic. Trevon abruptly interjected, "Allow me to introduce you to my newlywed wife, who is sitting beside me." Natalie choked on her coffee, coughing uncontrollably.

Trevon, beside her, retrieved a piece of tissue and handed it to her.

She glanced at him with a puzzled expression, clearly conveying her message. "Are you out of your mind? We were just discussing divorce this. morning, along with the matter of about 20 million dollars. "What the hell are you up to now?"

Unexpectedly, Trevon suddenly moved so close to her ear, his warm. breath caressing her cheek, causing a shiver to run down her spine. "I have informed my friend as well, so considering both sides as a breach of contract, we're even now."

Natalie stared at him, eyes wide and eyelashes fluttering, silently

questioning him, "Could it be that I wouldn't have to pay you 20 million dollars? And what about divorce? What did that imply?"

Trevon found that it was so fun to tease her and was captivated by her adorable expression at this moment. An inexplicable sense of joy washed over him.

Once again, he moved closer and whispered in her ear as if he

understood the language of her eyes. "You don't have to pay 20 million

Chapter 26

dollars. The divorce agreement is not finalized yet, and three months have not passed. Ending it early would also require you to pay the compensation, Mrs. Wilson."

They talked in whispers that felt like displays of affection to those watching.

Sherri, too, was brimming with questions, just as curious as Hackett. A minute ago, she and Natalie had been engaged in a bitter conversation about Trevon, on the verge of hurling insults at him. Sherri had even planned to introduce Natalie to an eligible bachelor after her divorce and make Trevon regret his actions. But now, what was this turn of events?

Sherri shot a questioning glance at Natalie, silently asking, "What is happening?"

Natalie returned the look and shrugged, silently replying, "I don't know."

They quietly sipped their coffee, trying to fade into the background.

Frank grinned when Trevon announced that Natalie was his wife. It was rather amusing to witness Trevon cross the line repeatedly.

Hackett was too stunned to utter a word. The crush he had admired for so long turned out to be Trevon's wife. The fact that he had engaged in a flirtation with Trevon's wife made him feel so embarrassed that he wished he could disappear from the world.

The scheming Trevon deliberately withheld the information, waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

What a shame!

Trevon was so bad and highly immoral.

Thinking that even he offered to sit here today, Hackett felt more awkward!

Suddenly, Sherri became excited. Observing Hackett's embarrassed look, she asked sharply, "Mr. Blackwell, everyone knows they shouldn't covet a friend's wife, but you still chase after Natalie! How do you face your friend Mr. Wilson now?"

Smirking with satisfaction, Sherri settled herself in to witness Hackett's. upcoming performance.

Chapter 26

Hackett turned his head and glared intensely at her, regarding her as at meddlesome woman eager to provoke trouble. He hurriedly explained, "Mr. Wilson, I swear I had no intention... I simply didn't know that Nata.... Miss Foster was your wife. I only wanted to befriend her."

As the words escaped his lips, Hackett let out a sigh. Even he found hist words somewhat unbelievable since...

Trevon's cold and icy voice cut in. "Oh, really?"

"Yes, absolutely true. If you don't believe me, ask Frank," Hackett implored, pointing at Frank.

Frank was leaning lazily against the chair, coffee cup in hand. He nonchalantly said, "I warned you not to do that."

Hackett remained speechless, feeling dissatisfied with Frank's words since what he said precisely proved that Hackett knowingly and willfully committed a grave mistake!

Unable to provide further explanations at this point, Hackett resigned himself to fate and absentmindedly sprawled on the sofa, assuming a posture as if waiting for the final result.

Finding joy in the situation, Sherri concealed her laughter behind her coffee cup.

Hackett shot a piercing gaze at Sherri, filled with threats. "Let's wait and see!" he silently announced.

Sherri defiantly retorted secretly. "Bring it on! I'm not afraid of you!"

Natalie observed the childish antics of the two with a slight smile, and Trevon, whose attention frequently shifted toward her, saw it all.

Her features were quite delicate. When she smiled, the corners of her mouth slightly tugged, and her eyebrows gracefully arched. Her flawless. fair skin with a hint of pink accentuated her stunning beauty. Dimples adorned her face, adding to her enchanting charm.

Perhaps because Natalie had sensed Trevon's direct and bold gaze, she immediately looked up at him and met his gaze.

There was a subtle hint of awkwardness in the air, and Natalie quickly lowered her head and focused on sipping her coffee, feeling her heart.

Changing the subject, Trevon directed his attention to Hackett, suggesting, "How about boxing with me tonight?"

It came as a big blow to Hackett, who had spent 20 million dollars to avoid being beaten, but there was no escaping this time. He got to get what he got to get. Good news and bad news always came together, didn't they? The good news was that his crush now turned out to be his friend's wife.

The bad news, however, was that he would still have to endure a beating.

This time, there was no way to have Frank help him.

Sherri, a vibrant chat person who had previously focused on making fun of Hackett, now turned her attention to Frank. Among the four prominent families, the Roberts family was one of them, and Sherri knew that. "Do you have a girlfriend, Mr. Roberts?" she inquired.

Sherri had a particular fondness for boys who exuded a sense of aloofness and coolness. She found them remarkably handsome, mysterious, and alluring.

"No," Frank responded.

Undeterred, Sherri pressed on. "Then what kind of girl do you prefer, Mr.

Roberts?"

Frank replied, "The girl of few words." When Frank said this, he never expected that he would eat his words in the future.

Sherri was rendered speechless. She suddenly didn't know how to continue the conversation.

Hackett burst into laughter. "Sherri, don't tell me you have a crush on him! You clearly don't know much about the target of your affection! Listen, if you want to get Frank's attention, you need more flirting practice."

Sherri had no interest in dealing with Hackett at all.

After sitting for over an hour in the Cafe, Sherri drove her Mercedes to leave while Natalie rode off on her motorbike without even bidding farewell to Trevon.

Trevon gazed at the receding figure of Natalie and appeared lost in thought.

Chapter 26

Hackett's voice, tinged with envy, reached Trevon's ears. "Natalie looks so graceful and daring when she rides a motorbike."

Frank gave him a light slap on the shoulder and asked, "Are you asking for trouble again?"

Throughout the entire encounter, Trevon seemed oblivious to the conversation, as if he hadn't heard a word. Jim also seemed captivated by Natalie's audacity, and he had mentioned it no less than three times.

Indeed, men would be attracted to Natalie's charm
