Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 136

The car cruised along the highway in Athana. Jim drove very steadily. He was even gentle with the brakes. The man in the backseat closed his eyes to take a rest.

Jun glanced in the rearview mirror and asked, “Mr. Wilson, where are we going?”

The man lifted his eyelids and smiled. “Evergreen Gardens”

Jim knew what Trevon was thinking. Trevon was planning to go to Natalie’s house to woo her. It was great. Jim was already imagining many scenes of Trevon wooing Natalie.

Jim was so excited about Trevon’s pursuit of Natalie, but he didn’t show any excitement and maintained his professionalism. “Alright, Evergreen Gardens formaldehyde has been removed. The renovation… is all done according to your requirements.”

Trevon did not think that there was anything wrong with the renovation and replied, “Okay, let’s go to the office first. We’ll go back to Evergreen Gardens tonight.”

Jim was already cursing in his heart, but he remained calm and unperturbed as he changed directions.

The car drove in the direction of the Wilson Group.

On the other hand, Joy was trying hard to figure out who the child Juana brought looked like.

After sitting on the couch for more than half an hour, she finally slapped her thigh. Didn’t Ruby look like her son when he was young? Once she locked onto her target, she sat upright on the couch and waited for Hackett to wake up with mixed. feelings.

Joy was extremely conflicted. If the child was her son’s. Sherri would definitely break up with him. The Landor family would not let their daughter he a stepmother. No matter what, she was the daughter of the four great families. How could Juana let her daughter be a stepmother? Joy didn’t know what to do and was conflicted. She hoped that her guess was correct, but at the same time, she hoped that it was wrong.

After waiting for a long time without seeing her son get up, the impatient Joy tossed aside the snack that she was eating and paused her TV show, then went straight upstairs and knocked on Hackett’s door. “Hackett, are you awake?”

After a long while, it was still silent. There was no doubt that Hackett was still sleeping She twisted the doorknob but could not open it. The door was locked. What kind of bad habit was this? Joy returned to her room and found a spare key to open the door.

So, she cleared her throat and began to organize the words in her mind. “Son, your previous girlfriend… did you or her use any contraception?” Hackett struggled to open his eyes. He was a little confused. “What do you mean? What are you trying to say?” Joy was impatient and did not want to beat around the bush. “Is it possible that you might have an illegitimate child?” “Mom, have you been watching too many television dramas recently?
