Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 66

As they arrived back at the hospital, Sherri’s voice echoed with relentless frustration as she vented her grievances against Hackett, cursing him angrily and annoyedly.

Natalie winced as Sherri’s scathing words rang in her ears. She longed for a respite to soothe her aching ears and knew she had to say something. She suggested, “Sherri, take a break and a sip of water to calm down.”

Sherri took a sip of water, but her heart was still unsettled. She wondered how much her mother despised her for arranging a blind date with such a scumbag. It seemed that age had dimmed her mother’s vision and her judgment. She knew she had to talk to her mother about this tonight. If her mother dared to, she could quickly destroy Edward.

As the tirade finally subsided, Sherri’s mind shifted to more pressing matters. “What did you mean by the message you sent me?” she asked Natalie. “Have you made up your mind about going abroad for two years? Have you thought it through?”

Supporting her cheeks with both hands, Natalie helplessly sighed. Natalie supported her cheeks with both hands and sighed helplessly. “I don’t want to miss this opportunity,” she admitted. “Besides, the departure date aligns well with my divorce. It would be good for me to spend two years abroad after the finalization of my divorce. While he no longer shows interest in me, it would still be awkward if we were to meet ”

Going abroad is still the better choice. After all, it’s natural to feel awkward when encountering your ex-spouse, regardless of your history as a married couple. Perhaps that’s just how women are-having some lingering emotions.

Sherri pouted in puzzlement, “Is Mr. Wilson blind? Didn’t he claim to have no interest in you? He was sober that night, so how did things escalate between you two?”

As she spoke, Sherri continued to wonder, “Taking him directly to the hospital would have been the appropriate course of action, unlike Hackett, who seems to be a dog that thinks with his lower half.”

Natalie shook her head as she replied, a hint of confusion evident in her voice. “Honestly, I’m feeling quite lost myself. However, one thing is undeniably clear. His interest in me is non-existent. He harbors feelings for someone else. Last night, he slept with someone else. I noticed lipstick marks on his collar. Furthermore, he even asked me to prepare supper for him, but I declined his request.”

Upon hearing this, Sherri agitatedly questioned, “Are you saying he’s having an affair? Is he cheating on that woman? How do you know?”

The mention of the supper completely slipped past Sherri’s ears.

“Please don’t get so worked up. There’s nothing to be surprised about. Remember how you mentioned his perpetual disinterest in women? As it turns out, someone has captured his attention all this time. He repeatedly reminded me not to harbor false hopes, making it clear that he held no interest in me. Last night, I couldn’t help but notice the telltale lipstick marks on his collar, accompanied by a distinct fragrance of perfume,” Natalie responded.

“Damn it! Mr. Wilson, who has an outwardly respectable appearance, has revealed himself to be cut from the same cloth as Hackett. Birds of a feather flock together! The company one keeps can indeed speak volumes about their character,” Sherri cursed.

Trevon was not entirely at fault; he lacked interest in Sherri, which was a matter of personal preference.

Natalie playfully retorted to Sherri, “Seems like you’ve been indulging in many TV dramas lately, with all those poetic lines! But you made a valid point. Speaking of which, are you feeling hungry? My stomach is growling. Taking care of ourselves should always be a priority, right? And as for divorce, it’s really not as daunting as it may seem. I can thrive without a man in my life. If I leave, I will leave my car in your garage. I’m worried about leaving it in the Foster’s residence.”

Sherri frowned at Natalie’s words, “Hey, you’re going abroad, not departing from this world. You’re making it sound like you’re leaving a farewell message. It’s making me feel uneasy.”

In the Wilson Group, a man sat at his desk, wearing a serious and cold expression as he studied the documents before him. An air of tension and uneasiness filled the air around him.
