Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 51

Time passed quietly.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year’s Day.

Ever since Natalie shared a bed with Trevon at the Wilson’s residence, they did not have much

interaction. It was as if it never happened.

Lately. Trevon seemed quite busy. She had not seen him in the morning, and he came home late at

night. When he returned, she was already fast asleep with the door closed.

As Natalie was lost in her thoughts, her phone rang. It wasn’t an alarm, nor was it a WhatsApp

message. It was a call.

She extended her arm to retrieve her phone, and when she saw the caller ID on the screen, she wore

her morning smile.

“Hello, Edward.”

A gentle and soft-spoken voice came from the other end of the phone, “Natalie, are you awake? Did I

disturb you?”

“No, I was already awake. I was just about to get up. 111 freshen up and meet Sherri, and then we’ll

come to pick you up. Weren’t you supposed to be on the plane at this time?”

On the other end of the phone. Edward churkled lightly. Then, Natalie only noticed something off now.

Edward replied, “Things got done ahead of schedule. I changed my flight last night.”

“Oh, why didn’t you message me last night? I set my alarm wrong. What time will you arrive? Can we

make it in time if we go now?” She glanced at her phone and saw that it was already 2 o’clock.

Edward’s original arrival time was 3 o’clock, so she and Sherri would have enough time to go to the

airport.

But it seemed like they were not going to make it on time. They would definitely be late.

She had set the alarm for 2:10.

Edward’s voice remained gentle and unhurried. T’m already here. Are you awake?”

“Just wait for me. I’ll come to pick you up right away.”

“You…” Before Edward could finish his sentence, there was only silence on the other end of the phone.

Natalie always rushed around like this, but she never broke her promises.

In the airport terminal, at a coffee shop, a man with light gold-rimmed glasses exuded a refined and

gentle aura with a touch

of calmness.

“Mr. Landor, do we still need to wait for someone?” Edward’s assistant, Kyle Jenkins, was puzzled. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

They had been off the plane for over an hour, and his boss had been sitting here idly.

“Yes, they’ll be here soon. You go ahead to the office and get tomorrow’s tasks organized.”

“Okay, Mr. Landor. And what about you…”

“I’ll wait for them to pick me up.’ Edward still didn’t look up, occasionally glancing at the pale blue dial of

the watch on his

wrist.

Kyle couldn’t quite grasp Edward’s thoughts. Richard had initially requested them to go to the office for

the handover today. but Edward had postponed it and insisted on arranging things for tomorrow without

telling the reason. He only instructed Kyle to go to the office and make early preparations.

After Kyle left, Edward calmly sipped his coffee, patiently waiting.

On the other side, Natalie rode her bike to a spot near the Adare Manor, where she could easily hail a

taxi.

Once inside the taxi, she called Sherri. “Miss Landor, where are you?”

“I’m still asleep. The alarm hasn’t gone off yet,” Sherri answered lazily, her eyes barely opened.

“Your brother called me. He’s already at the airport, so give yourself 10 minutes to get ready. And if you

arrive later than me, you know what to expect”

Sherri suddenly snapped awake. Was her brother that sly? Without even bothering to put on slippers,

she tossed her phone onto the bed and rushed into the bathroom to freshen up.

Just before leaving, she glanced at the time. It took her only 8 minutes, the shortest time she had ever

spent getting ready. She didn’t even have time to apply makeup. Going outside with no makeup was

better than getting punished for being late.

After twenty-four minutes, the two of them arrived at the airport entrance at the same time.

As Sherri saw Natalie about to get out of the taxi, she quickly handed over a 20-dollar bill. “Keep the

change,” she said hurriedly, fearing Natalie would beat her to it.

Witnessing this scene, Natalie couldn’t help but laugh while covering her mouth.

She remembered when they were kids, whenever Sherri fell behind, she would be punished severely

This left a deep shadow in Sherri’s mind

There was one time they went hiking, and Sherri overslept. Edward and Natalie waited for her at the

foot of the mountain for a full hour. When she finally arrived, Edward said, “Sherri, I waited for you for

one hour and 7 minutes. Now you climb up alone and wait for us for 2 hours and 14 minutes”

Sherri grew anxious “Edward, why do I have to climb up alone? What about you and Natalie?

“We’re going to buy some food You’ll experience what it feels like to wait for someone, Edward replied.

Sherri went speechless.

And true to his words. Edward actually did that. He insisted on taking Natalie to the city to buy

milkshakes and cakes. claiming they needed the energy after the hike.

Sherri ended up waiting for several hours before they reached the mountaintop

Recalling their childhood memories. Natalie couldn’t help but burst into laughter, feeling happy and

carefree Being with them was the most relaxing time for her.

Edward genuinely treated Natalie like a younger sister and took special care of her, even more so than

Sherri

There were many times when Sherri jokingly doubted if she was the one who was adopted and if

Natalie was Edward’s real

sister

Lost in her thoughts, Natalie snapped back to reality and walked into the airport

Edward was the kind of person who stood out in a crowd. Even if he kept a low profile, he could still be

easily spotted amidst the crowd.

When Natalie walked through the entrance, Edward was already heading outside, dragging his

suitcase.

After being apart for several years, his eyes and brows remained warm and gentle. He exuded an

elegant and refined demeanor with a calm and composed presence. In the years they hadn’t seen each

other, he had gained a sense of stability and maturity.

Seeing Natalie stunned, Edward smiled and said. “Don’t you recognize me

Sherri held Edward’s wrist and laughed, “Did my brother’s good looks shock you, Natalie?”

Edward remained silent, his warm gaze fixed on Natalie.

Natalie hadn’t expected Edward to become so handsome For a brief moment, she was taken aback,

not by any romantic attraction, but by the realization that they had all grown up. It made her feel a bit

reserved as she thought they could no longer be as carefree as they were younger.

Natalie changed her tone to the playful one she used when they were together. That’s right. Edward.

Nobody is more handsome than you. Isn’t that right?” As she finished speaking, she looked up at

Edward with a smile

Edward nodded and replied, “Yes, you’re absolutely right.”

Immediately, he turned to his sister and said. “Don’t think you can show off just because you didn’t

arrive later than Natalie today. You know exactly what I mean.”

Sherri pouted and said, “Edward, can you stop scolding me as soon as you come back? You’ve made

my brain dull with all your scolding.”

Natalie laughed and reached out to take the luggage from Edward’s hand.

Edward replied in a serious tone, “Let Sherri carry it. I think she has gained some weight recently and

could use the exercise to burn some energy”

Sherri sighed inwardly, wondering why she came to receive her brother.

Natalie couldn’t stop laughing. She felt that with Edward’s return, Sherri’s easy days were coming to an

end. She joked, “Edward, let me handle it. Sherri isn’t fully awake yet.”

With that, she took the luggage and began pushing it in front of her

This time, Edward didn’t object. He watched Natalie push his luggage and was slightly distracted

Then he heard Sherri’s cheerful voice, “Natalie is always nice to me. Hmph! Edward, I’ll treat you to a

meal at the Grand Manor. Let me tell you, they have a new chef there who cooks dishes exactly like

Natalie’s. You always say Natalie’s cooking is delicious, don’t you?”
