Chapter 400

Trevon sat on the bed with a smile on his face. He hadn’t expected Natalie to figure it out so quickly. He had thought she was clever before, but now he was even more impressed.

Her confident tone indicated that she had pretty much guessed everything. He quickly apologized, “Honey, I was wrong. I was just worried about you being pregnant. There won’t be any issues between me and Frank. A fight will resolve everything

When handling issues, men would not play guessing games as women did. They would also not be petty and fall out with each other. It was resolved through fighting, whether it was with Frank or Hackett.

There was hardly anything that could not be resolved through a fight. If it could not be resolved, it was probably not even worth fighting over.

Natalie deliberately pressed a cotton swab against the injured comer of Trevon’s mouth, causing him to wince in pain. Still, he maintained a smile and said, “Are you trying to murder your husband?”

After Natalie had tended to his wound and packed away the medical kit, she said, “I haven’t planned on being a widow. You’ll do just fine. Even if I look elsewhere, I might not find anyone better than you.”

Trevon knew she was being playful. “I just love it when you praise me. Say more nice things.”

“I don’t feel like arguing with you. Did Rose tell Frank?”

Natalie didn’t want to continue such a meaningless conversation.

Standing between his legs, she leaned against his waist as he held her. He glanced at her belly, then looked up at her. “Rose probably told Frank, but he might need some time to process it.”

Natalie didn’t question why Rose hadn’t told them. She understood that even the closest relationships have their secrets. They could not share everything. For example, Natalie didn’t want to bring up their family matters.

Even the closest people should have a quiet secret space.

Sometimes, not asking was a form of politeness.

Meanwhile, at the Roberts family villa.

Inside the yard, Frank had arrived half an hour earlier, but he hadn’t gone upstairs. He sat in the car, smoking one cigarette after another.

His face clouded with a deep frown and restlessness. Trevon had a point. Rose was 26 years old, and it was not easy to fall in love with someone. One could confine a person but not their heart.

Even though Rose wasn’t allowed to interact with Edward, what could they do if Rose wasn’t happy? She had already been hurt once in matters of the heart. It was taboo for the entire family.

Frank lost count of how many cigarettes he had smoked. The pack was empty. He couldn’t be bothered to open the new one. Then, he rubbed his tired eyes, opened the car door, and stepped out.
