After washing up, Natalie prepared to go downstairs to make something
to eat.
Natalie could ask Jim later.
Natalie stopped walking down the stairs. A figure that could not be ignored suddenly caught her eye,
and she was stunned.
The man’s gaze turned to the staircase from the moment Natalie opened the door.
Their eyes met, and their emotions were unclear.
Trevon broke the stalemate first. “You’re awake. You slept quite long. If you don’t wake up, I’m going to
poke your nose to test if you die.” This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Natalie’s awkward heart calmed down a little when she heard Trevon’s teasing. She walked down the
stairs in her slippers. “Are you afraid that I’ll die at your house? Aren’t you going to work today?”
It was almost 2 pm, and this person was still at home. It was a little. strange. Natalie really suspected
that the Wilson Group was about to go broke.
Trevon, who had no idea what this woman was thinking, flipped through the magazine as if nothing had
happened. “Let’s go back to the Wilson’s residence for dinner tonight. Dad is back.”
“So I’m going back tonight too?”
“What do you think? If I go back alone, will Grandpa let me go?”
Natalie couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Didn’t Trevon always go back alone before? Every time, he
came back unscathed.
Seeing that the woman was silent, Trevon raised his head slightly and gestured to the kitchen. “The
food is in the kitchen. Go eat by yourself.”
“Have you eaten?”
“Do you think you are so important that I will starve until now and wait for you to have a meal?”
Natalie did not want to talk to Trevon anymore. No matter how much
she talked to him, nothing good would come out of his mouth.
14:35
At this moment, Natalie had completely forgotten what had happened in the morning.
Natalie was really famished. Last night, she was so tired and hungry that she fell asleep. She did not
even want to move her fingers. She had slept for 12 hours, which was equivalent to being hungry for a
day and a night. She did not eat lunch or dinner yesterday. She slept perfectly and missed breakfast in
the morning.
Natalie walked to the kitchen without hesitation and opened the thermal cover on the dining table. The
smell of the meal wafted into her nose. Without a word, she sat down and started eating.
A mouthful of soup was too satisfying. It was quite delicious.
From the moment Natalie entered the kitchen, Trevon’s gaze followed her in. When Trevon saw the
woman’s satisfied look, he could not help but smile. Just a small matter could make Natalie satisfied..
After eating for a while, Natalie was a little full, and her mind was online. She looked around the living
room and realized that the clothes she had changed out of were gone. Natalie had just bought that
white down jacket. It was the second time she had worn it yesterday.
Natalie wanted to ask but was hesitant. But after hesitating for a while, she swallowed a mouthful of
food and asked, “Where are my clothes from yesterday?”
The moment Natalie saw this man sitting on the sofa, she understood that he was the one who had
changed her clothes last night. There was no one else in the villa. Moreover, it was already almost one
o’clock in the morning when she returned last night. It was unrealistic for Trevon to help her find a
nanny at that time.
That was why Natalie stood at the staircase awkwardly. However, Trevon had helped her and did not
do anything to her. Natalie could not interrogate him.
Trevon was calm and composed, but his tone was a little colder as if he had done something normal. “I
throw them away.”
Natalie hurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth. She subconsciously raised her voice at Trevon. “You
threw away my down jacket, pants, and shoes?”
Natalie asked in disbelief. Wouldn’t it be fine to wash them? It was just
14:36
Chapter 44 blood.
The man sensed that this woman was blaming him and felt very uncomfortable. Not only did she not
thank him, but she also blamed him for throwing her clothes. She did not know that he had been busy
until 3 am last night and had taken two cold showers before going to bed at about 5 am. At 8.30 am, he
was woken up by a call from Hackett.
Trevon’s anger rose, and his words became unfriendly. “Why not throw them away? Are you going to
keep them as the family heirloom?”
Seeing that the woman was staring at him with wide eyes, Trevon was even more dissatisfied with her
performance. What a heartless woman. “I’ll compensate you for how much they cost, pants, clothes,
and shoes.”
Natalie realized that her attitude was a little bad. She was a little agitated just now. She licked her dry
lips and said, “So be it. Thank you for last night.”
After saying that, Natalie lowered her head shyly. After all, she was a woman. She still felt
embarrassed to be naked under a man’s gaze.
Natalie’s sound was very soft, like a bee buzzing into Trevon’s ears. It was like a feather brushing
against his heart, itchy and soft.
When Trevon, who was in a bad mood, saw how shy Natalie was, his mood instantly turned better.
“You’re welcome. Don’t you blame me for seeing you naked and call me a pervert?” Trevon was saying
these on purpose. The shyer Natalie was, the more Trevon wanted to say it.
Natalie stopped eating and pinched her fork. “I’m not that ungrateful.”
Natalie could differentiate right from wrong. Trevon was kind last night, and he didn’t do anything to her.
Why was she being pretentious?
The man said coldly, “There’s no need to think so much. I’m not interested in you. Otherwise, you
wouldn’t have been unharmed last night. Pack up after the lunch. Jim will send clothes over later.”
Trevon went upstairs with a dark expression, not giving Natalie an extra look.
Natalie suddenly lost the mood to eat. The remaining food on the dining table was no longer delicious.
This meal was prepared by the new chef of Grand Manor. She had already known it with the first bite.
14:36
Natalie turned on her phone and searched for Grand Manor. She entered the webpage and entered the
menu of the details‘ introduction. Natalie searched for the prices of the dishes on the table and
recorded them one by one.
The sausage cost 200 dollars. Oyster and Corn Chowder cost 720 dollars. Eggplant Meatballs cost
177.6 dollars. Grilled Yellowtail cost 2400 dollars. Mousse Cake cost 52 dollars.
Hence, Natalie had spent several months of her salary on a meal. He must be crazy.
Enduring it, Natalie transferred Trevon 3549.6 on WhatsApp.
This was the most expensive lunch Natalie had eaten in 23 years. Trevon had made it very clear that
he was not interested in her. He would not be interested even if she stripped naked. Didn’t that mean
that Trevon was telling Natalie not to let her imagination run wild?
It was time to retract the ripples and remind Natalie to be clear again.
However, after transferring the money, Natalie still felt it was too luxurious.
Trevon, who was upstairs, wasn’t in a good mood either. He was sitting on the sofa smoking a
cigarette. This was already the second cigarette, but the smell of nicotine still couldn’t suppress his
impatience.
The phone on the table rang. It was a transfer message.
The moment Trevon saw the message, the gloominess in his heart intensified. Natalie was drawing a
clear line and not taking any advantage. She must have gone to search for the dishes‘ price. She was
really smart.
Natalie could even pay according to the online price. Trevon really had to praise her intelligence.
Natalie’s action of wanting to draw a clear line angered Trevon. Trevon held his breath and typed a line
of words on the chat interface. “How much are clothes, pants, and shoes?”
Natalie cleaned up the cutlery and sent Sherri messages on the sofa. Natalie wanted to know how she
had provoked Trevon. It was one thing for him not to be interested in her but another thing to get along
harmoniously. After all, there were almost two months left. She could not possibly look at him with a
gloomy face every day.
“Sherri, help me analyze something.” Sherri often watched idol dramas.
Even though she had never been in a relationship, Sherri was better than Natalie in the relationship.
Natalie thought that Sherri should be more insightful than her.
Sherri, who became excited due to new gossip, immediately replied, “Hurry up and say it.”
“Last night, I slept on the sofa, and Trevon carried me back to my room to change my clothes. Then, he
bought me Grand Manor’s food in the afternoon. After that, he warned me not to have delusions. He
was not interested in me and seemed to be a little angry. So, firstly, why was he angry? Secondly, did I
provoke him in some way, or did I get too close to him, and he was afraid that I would pester him, so he
came to warn me?”
Sherri was speechless for a moment.
“Did you say anything else?” According to the plot of the idol dramas that Sherri watched, it shouldn’t
have developed like this. Logically speaking, the male lead’s actions were because he was interested
in the female lead and subconsciously did it. Why did a warning suddenly appear?
Natalie thought for a moment and replied, “I asked about last night’s clothes. He said that he threw
them away for me, but I just bought that set of clothes. Wouldn’t it be fine after washing them?”
Finding the source of the problem, Sherri said non–stop, “Natalie, do you know who Mr. Wilson is? It
was already not bad for him to raise his noble hands to help you change your clothes. Do you think he
would. indulge you so much that he would help wash your bloody clothes? Or do you think he would
leave them in that luxurious villa for you? Are you thinking too much? Or are you still sleepy? Let me
tell you. He must have misunderstood you and thought that you were blaming him for helping you throw
your clothes away. That must be it.”
“Is that so? But in the end, I thanked him and said that he didn’t have to compensate me.”
Sherri was helpless and sent Natalie some emoji to mock her.
No wonder Natalie had been single for 23 years.
Natalie was speechless. She had EQ, okay?
Originally, Natalie wanted to tell Sherri that she had transferred the
money to Trevon. Natalie was afraid that Sherri would be scared to death.
14:36
so he chose not to say it.
Natalie closed her chat history with Sherri and saw a new message. She opened it and saw that it was
Trevon asking about the price of her clothes.
Natalie replied on the chat box, [You don’t have to give it to me. Thank you. I was just asking. I didn’t
blame you for throwing it away.]
Upstairs, Trevon was not appeased by these words. He directly transferred 4 thousand dollars to her.
Trevon even sent a message. “Clean up the accounts.”
Natalie’s gaze was fixed on the message for a few seconds.
Natalie thought for a while and decided to accept it. “My clothes aren’t as expensive as you think. Since
you want to clear up the accounts, send me 576 dollars, 360 dollars for my down jacket, 100 dollars for
my jeans, and 116 dollars for my shoes.”
Next, a transfer of 3424 dollars was sent to Trevon.
Trevon, who was already angry, took out another cigarette and lit it. He placed his legs on the table and
was so angry that even his hands were trembling.
This woman could even calculate 4 dollars. She really didn’t take advantage of anyone at all. She had
a backbone.
Well done.
Natalie wanted to leave in two months empty–handed.
