Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 83

In the evening, upon returning to Evergreen Gardens,

Natalie swiftly made her way into the kitchen. Sherri typically reframed from making onion soup due to Juana’s fear of kitchen disasters. Natalie was pregnant and shouldn’t be burdened with all the cooking responsibilities, relying solely on her.

Spotting Natalie’s entrance into the kitchen, Sherri instinctively grabbed an apron and asked, as she tied it around herself, “What can I do to help?”

Natalie, who was busy washing vegetables, looked at her, puzzled. “What are you up to?”

With an earnest gaze, Sherri replied. “I’ll be your sous chef

Having washed and dried her hands. Natalie gently ushered her out of the kitchen door. “I don’t need you in the kitchen. Go and catch up on your drama. I’ll manage just fine Your presence in the kitchen would only distract me.”

Sherri felt awkward and said, “So, I guess I’ll just settle for a ready-made meal? I’d feel utterly embarrassed”

Natalie rolled her eyes at Sherri, who leaned against the kitchen doorway. “Now you’re concerned about feeling embarrassed? When did you become so considerate? Come on, hurry up and get out of here. Close the door behind you. and don’t disrupt my cooking process.”

“Alright. Sherri glanced at Natalie, who was busy washing her hands and preparing the soup in the kitchen. She truly admired Natalie Why did someone as hardworking and deserving of happiness as she have to endure so much hardship? If only fate would show some kindness.

Before he left. Mr. Foster had hoped to find reliable support, a lifelong companion for Natalie. But things didn’t go as planned, and now everything had turned into a mess.

If Mr. Wilson found out, he would probably force Natalie to have an abortion. No wonder Natalie insisted so strongly on keeping it a secret.

But what about herself Before, she believed that Juana would push her to have an abortion, but now, upon reflection, she realizes that if Joy were to find out about this, it could lead to an entirely different outcome.

There was a high probability that Hackett would have been pressured into marrying her, so it was an absolute secret that could not be revealed. A loveless marriage would have meant simply settling for a life of convenience and compromise. Even though it was often said that love was a luxury in life, and one could manage without it, she couldn’t settle for that. Having severed ties with Hackett, she had to bear the relentless scolding from Juana, who didn’t hold back in pointing out her flaws, both overtly and subtly. Meanwhile, Joy was marketing her son, subtly conveying that their chances were slim.

In essence, the prospective future son-in-law she had envisioned had fled.

Sitting on the sofa, she savored a few bites of avocado, her mind drifting far away.

The sudden ringtone rudely interrupted her, and upon glancing at the caller ID, she grew slightly anxious. It was Edward on the line Inhaling deeply, she answered, feigning a fragile tone. “Edward.”
