Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 281

Chapter 281

The atmosphere was tense for a moment. No one said anything else. They were all waiting for Trevon

to speak.

After waiting for a long time, Trevon did not speak. His gaze was fixed on the number on the marriage

certificate.

At this moment, everyone’s thoughts were very complicated. Sherri and Hackett were so surprised that

they almost exploded on the spot. They were even more shocked over this than their marriage Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

registration today. However, they suppressed their emotions because of Trevon’s expression. The staff

was puzzled. This was the strangest couple she had ever handled.

Natalie knew that he was unhappy. Today was the day he had been thinking about for a long time. It

was the result of his hard work. If he went back just like that, he would surely be upset. She thought of

a compromise and held his hand. She gently pressed his palm and suggested, “Why don’t we make up

a copy of the marriage certificate? We’ve already taken photos, so we have to use it. This way, we can

get our marriage certificate today.”

Feeling her intentions, Trevon said to the staff, “Make us a new copy of the marriage certificate. Use

this photo.”

As Trevon spoke, he placed the photo they had just taken on the table. He looked somber, and no one

could tell if he was happy or angry.

Seeing that this person was not to be trifled with, the staff quickly followed his request and replied

politely, “Okay.”

In just a few moves, this matter was settled. The marriage certificate was in their hands. Trevon’s gaze

was fixed on the words: marriage certificate. He was trembling with satisfaction as he held the

document.

They were not divorced at all. Mr. Wilson was good at holding his cards close to his chest.

He had played all of them out. He was scheming.

The two couples exited the City Hall, and Natalie looked at the signboard again. Her mental states

were completely different from before. She gazed at the man beside her and asked, “Where are you

going? I’m heading to the hospital.”

Trevon hugged her waist and said, “There’s no hurry to go to the hospital. Let’s go back to the Wilson’s

residence. I’ll send you to the hospital in the afternoon, okay?”

Trevon wanted to ask Mr. Wilson what was going on. “No,” he thought, “Mr. Wilson should be

addressed as Grandpa. It had always been Grandpa”.

Thinking back, she had personally seen her status change in the system. It was written as divorce. She

was also under the impression that she was about to remarry.

This twist of events was too shocking. Those with weak hearts could be sent to the emergency room

immediately. Fortunately, they did not have heart disease.

Natalie replied, “Okay.”

Sherri held Hackett’s arm as they walked to the side. They were still in shock with what had happened.

They were going to change Ruby’s family name later. Otherwise, they wanted to follow Natalie and

Trevon back to the Wilson’s residence to find out what happened.

After leaving the City Hall, the two couples who had just registered their marriage parted ways. One

pair went to the Wilson’s residence, while the other went to the police station to change their daughter’s

family name.

Rachel, who was with Jasper on the sofa, watched the couple walk into. the living room with their

fingers intertwined. It was a strange sight.

She thought momentarily and asked, “You’re not working today?”

Jasper put up a good act. When he saw Natalie and Trevon enter hand in hand, he quickly put down

the toy he was holding and walked over. He hugged Trevon’s slender legs and shouted, “Daddy,

Mommy.”

Jasper had addressed them so endearingly that there did not seem to be a problem with it.

Natalie released Trevon’s hand and squatted down to pick Jasper up. Jasper’s chubby hands hugged

Natalie’s neck tightly and rested his little face on her shoulder. He looked like he missed his mother

very much.

Natalie was a little uneasy at first, but when she thought about how they were not divorced, to begin

with, and how she had already reprinted the

marriage certificate this morning, she should change the way she addressed Rachel. Thinking back,

Rachel had treated her quite well. Although she did not say much to her, once outsiders criticized her,

she would block them out on Natalie’s behalf. She was protective of Natalie.

After some thought, she smiled and said to Rachel, “Hi Mum.”

Natalie’s words shocked Rachel. Just yesterday, Natalie addressed her as Auntie. Today she was

Mum. However, Rachel was fast-thinking and understood the reason quickly. Rachel replied happily,

“You registered your marriage in the morning?”

Natalie did not know if she should nod or shake her head. In the end, she nodded slightly.

All in all, Trevon was in a good mood today. He answered Rachel calmly, “I took leave this morning to

reprint our marriage certificate.”

Rachel caught the point in her son’s words. Reprint the marriage

certificate? Doesn’t one get a marriage certificate when they remarry? She asked in confusion, “You

two?”

Trevon interrupted her. He knew what she was going to ask. “Where’s Grandpa?” Trevon said.

Rachel glanced at the two and raised her chin towards the staircase to say, “He’s writing in the study.”

Upon hearing this, Trevon told Rachel, “Mother, come with us.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Trevon took Jasper from Natalie’s arms. He carried Jasper

effortlessly with one hand, held Natalie’s hand with the other, and walked in front.

On the second floor, Rachel walked forward and pushed the door of the study open. He saw Theo

writing several words on a canvas: Awakened from a dream.

Trevon understood everything when he saw those words. He only felt that it was blinding and started

mocking himself while smiling. He walked into the study with Natalie and stood opposite the table.

Trevon said, “Grandpa is a chess master.”

Theo was calm and composed. He was not affected by Trevon’s words, nor did he feel guilty. He

placed the brush on the brush stand, picked up the walking stick on his right, and slowly sat down.

After sitting on the chair, Theo instructed in a mellow voice, “Sit down, everyone. It’s strange to stand

there. Natalie and Rachel, I’m not picking. against you.”

Trevon thought, “You are better off criticizing me directly.”

Rachel sat down with a mind full of questions. She asked Theo, “Father, what exactly is going on?”

Theo smiled kindly, turned to Natalie, and said, “My dear, Grandpa should apologize to you first. I’m

sorry for lying to you. Grandpa knows that no matter what my intentions are, it’s Grandpa’s fault.

Grandpa admits this mistake. I won’t try to defend myself.”

Natalie thought, “Grandpa, you admitted your mistake so quickly. What else can I say?”

Natalie pursed her lips and did not say anything. She did not know what to say or how to say what she

felt. It was undeniable that Mr. Wilson had lied to her for two years.

Theo did not emotionally blackmail Natalie. He only opened his mouth to explain his intentions. It was

up to Natalie to decide whether she wanted to be furious. Theo explained further, “My dear, I promised

your grandfather to protect you. However, after your divorce, I knew you wouldn’t have any contact with

me nor accept my help. I can’t adopt you as my granddaughter. You wanted a clean break. You’ve

never wanted anything from the Wilson family. Only a fool would think you are after our family’s assets.

Grandpa wants to keep you by his side. You’re a good child. It’s Trevon’s loss that he mistreated you.

Grandpa doesn’t want to always be on his side. I’ve given this kid a two-year deadline. If he still can’t

figure it out in the next two years and doesn’t beg for your forgiveness, I’ll secretly let this divorce

certificate take effect and become real.”

Theo continued, “Grandpa wanted to give you all the freedom you craved, so Grandpa didn’t tell you

about the secret. Now that I see the two of you together, the thorn in Grandpa’s heart has finally been

pulled out. I can finally sleep at night. Sigh, I’ve been having insomnia periodically for the past two

years. This was the cause of it. Indeed, one can’t do others wrong.

Natalie was speechless. Why was she still skeptical of Theo?

Trevon, who was still carrying Jasper, pinched the space between his eyebrows. His grandfather had

admitted to all the good things and bad

things. Theo had all the good intentions for him. What else could he say to the old man? Theo was

already suffering from insomnia.

It would be unfilial of Trevon to seek further explanation from the old

man.

Trevon had lost all the fury that he had in him before he came into the study. He remained silent.

Natalie lowered her gaze and looked at the marriage certification in her hand. She felt relieved. It

seemed that Grandpa had already expected this day. There was nothing else to go melodramatic over?

Natalie said to Theo, “Grandpa, I’m not angry anymore. I know you’re doing this for my good. I can feel

it.”

Theo nodded with teary eyes, “My dear, thank you.”

Rachel was speechless. Her head throbbed as she listened, but she couldn’t criticize her father-in-law.

She sighed secretly.

After the matter was resolved, Trevon was left in the study alone to talk to Theo. He stayed for more

than an hour in the room.

Rachel and Natalie accompanied Jasper and Mary in the living room downstairs. Mary happily brought

some pastries and said, “Mrs. Wilson, try this. I learned it recently. There’s no sugar in there.”

Under Mary’s gaze, Natalie took a piece of pastry and ate it. It was not sticky nor cloying at all. It was

delicious. Natalie complimented, “Mary. It’s delicious. Teach me the recipe next time.”

Mary waved her hand to reject Natalie’s request and said, “Hey, Mrs. Wilson, just sit down. We’re all

happy that you’re back. For the past few years, the patriarch has been looking forward to you and

Trevon getting together again and returning hand in hand. Gage has said several times. that he saw

the patriarch holding your divorce certificate and sighing on the bed alone.”

Natalie was deeply touched. Grandpa had hoped they could reconcile so that he could look after her.

Why did she feel that she was unfilial? Natalie smiled awkwardly and told Mary, “Thank you, Mary. I’ll

be extra filial towards Grandpa from now on.”

Rachel knew how to read people’s expressions. She could tell that Natalie was embarrassed. He

instructed Mary, who was still rambling, “Go do your work.”

After Mary left, Rachel told Natalie, “Theo was wrong. You don’t have to feel burdened by what Mary

said. Everyone has their own desired outcome. It was just that Theo was more obsessed with this

matter. It’s fine as long as the outcome is good. Don’t keep dwelling on it. Live a good life. Trevon’s not

as thoughtful. Please bear with it.”

Natalic thought, “Mum, I’m afraid you misunderstood Trevon. Trevon’s passion is intolerable”.

Natalie did not want to harp over the matter nor remain furious with Theo. Instead, she thought that

Theo was someone who kept his promises. Natalie told Rachel, “Mum, I understand.”

Rachel did not say anything else. She was not a talkative person, to begin with. She nodded and

considered this matter done.
