Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 153

Once Natalie returned home, she was engulfed in a whirlwind of emotions. There was an unsettling feeling lingering within her, as if something was amiss in Trevon’s words, yet she couldn’t quite grasp what it was

Lena still dwelled on the revelation about Jasper’s father She anticipated Natalie would take a while before joining her upstairs, but to her surprise, Natalie followed closely beland.

With a hesitant and concerned expression, Lena voiced her worries, “Miss Natalie, is that gentleman truly the father of Jasper? What if he…”

Understanding Lena’s concerns, Natalie offered reassurance, “No, he won’t. He assured me he wouldn’t engage in a custody battle with me over Jasper. Please don’t worry. I’ll consult with my uncle if he ever tries to challenge me. Rest assured. I will take Jasper to the Landor Lamily’s residence later Would you like

comjuny you to the villa?*

Lena still carried a trace of worry but understand the boundaries she couldn’t toss. Considering the other party’s affluent background, engaging in a prolonged struggle for custody would be a formulable battle With a busy tone, she replied, “No need. Miss Natalie We prefer taking the subway. It’s beneficial for us to stay active at our age”

Upon hearing Lend’s suggestion. Natalie didn’t insist any further. “Alright then, let me change Jasper’s clothes, and we’ll be on our way.”

After dressing Jasper in a fresh outfit, Natalie swiftly headed to the largest supermarket. She carefully selected various items there, including swift grain, thoughtful gifts, fresh fruits, and seafood. Accompanying her was Ethan, who efficiently loaded the purchases into the car.

Half an hour later, Natalie arrived at the Landor family’s residence. Ethan’s car followed closely behind and parked at the entrance. With a sense of urgency, he swiftly unloaded the items from the trunk and placed them on the doorstep. With utmost respect, he inquired, “Would you like me. bring them inside, Miss Natalie?”

Natalie pondered for a moment and decided against it. After all, Juana was not acquainted with Ethan. Moreover, today she had come to offer an apology, and it would be more sincere if she handled the situation herself “No, that won’t be necessary. Just leave them here I’ll take them inside later. Thank you for your assistance

Ethan maintained his respectful demeanor. “It’s my pleasure. I’ll be waiting nearby. Please don’t hesitate to call upon me if you need any assistance.”

Natalie nodded in agreement and freed one hand to press the doorbell, its melodic clime resonating. The door swung open, revealing the familiar face of the maid from the Landor family, who greeted Natalie with warmth and familiarity. “Miss Foster has arrived. Are these items to be brought inside?”

A gentle smile adorned Natalie’s lips as she responded, “Yes, please. I would appreciate your assistance”
