Trevon tightened his grip on Natalie’s hand. Thinking that he wanted to eat something. Natalie asked. “What do you want)

He lifted his chin slightly, gesturing for her to look in the direction of the door.

Seeing Joseph. Natalie was thrilled and, at the same time, apprehensive

As her hand was interlocked with Trevon’s under the table, she could not go up to Joseph to greet him. She could only say, Ava Joseph is here”

Ava was eating her cake when she heard what Natalie said. Her face immediately lit up as she briske into a smile. She ran up to Joseph and took his hand, pouting in an endearing demeanor Joseph, why are you only here now The barbecue is almost over: Do you want to be the closing act of the event and take all the limelight

Joseph stroked Ava’s head with the other hand and smiled affectionately “Hey, I rushed over without even changing my clothes. Can you forgive me for coming late”

Ava took a few steps back and scrutinized Joseph’s outti. “All right, I shall pardon you this time “

When Natalie saw Joseph approaching the pavilion, she broke free from Trevon’s grip and shot burn a warning look. Joseph, are you done with your busy schedule

Joseph replied. “Yes, I’m free now.”

He walked over to Jasper and carried him in his arms before turning to Trevon. “Mr Wilson, have you recovered from your injuries?”

Trevon did not think much about what Joseph was insinuating He merely replied. “Thank you for your concern. Joseph. Im feeling much better now.”

Joseph was astonished to hear Trevon addressing him by his first name in front of everyone. It suggested a level of familiarity and closeness between the two men.

Joseph reciprocated with a smile. That’s good to know. Take good care of yourself. I hope you’re taking care of Natalie and not Natalie taking care of you”

Trevon nodded. “Yes. Ill bear that in mund”

Joseph, with his tall stature, held Jasper in his arms. However, his posture did not look out of place. Instead, he seemed to feel at ease carrying the boy in his arms. His gaze then shifted to Frank. He said in a cordial tone. “You must be the young heir of the Roberts family You truly embody the essence of your family name and upbringing”

Frank was lounging on the chair lazily, and his body sprawled out in a relaxed manner. He replied politely. “Thank you for your compliment. Mr. Turner Have some food’
