Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 539

The huge cantéen was spacious and bright. Many colleagues were already eating in it. Some were chewing slowly,

some were gulping down their food, and some were gossiping before eating.

Seeing Natalie bring her son in, a few colleagues quickly put down their plates and enthusiastically wanted to greet

her. “Hey, Natalie, is that your son? He’s so handsome.”

Her colleague half-squatted and reached out to hug Jasper. However, they respected Jasper very much and asked

for permission first. “Can I hug you?”

The other young lady also liked children very much. “Can I carry you?”

Not long after.

Many people surrounded Jasper. Even a few seniors wanted to hug him. Jasper had been well taken care of by

Theo. He had gained a lot of weight and was chubby. However, it could not hide the handsome genes on his body.

His long eyelashes fluttered.

Jasper refused mercilessly. “No.”

Then, he hid on Natalie’s shoulder and stopped turning his head, afraid that the aunties and uncles would carry her

away.

Ruby was already being carried by a young girl. Natalie apologized, “I’m sorry, this child is more shy. It’ll be fine

once he’s familiar with you.”

“It’s okay. I won’t carry you anymore. This is good. It’s safe. You won’t be carried away by strangers. Your

protective awareness is not bad. You’re really handsome.” She did not forget to praise Jasper at the end.

Natalie did not refute his son’s good looks because he was indeed quite handsome. Excessive modesty was simply

hypocritical.

The few of them found a seat by the window and sat down. Sherri asked Rose to sit down and not move. Then, she

asked Ruby to sit at the side while she and Natalie went to get some food.

At the dining table, Rose pulled out a tissue and said to the two little guys, “Watch carefully and see how I wipe the

table. If you want to eat, you have to do it yourselves, understand? We have to help Mommy. Mommy is very tired

from working.” Ruby nodded. She took a piece of tissue and began to wipe it according to Rose’s rhythm. However,

Jasper did not move at all. He did not listen to Rose’s lies at all. It was as if she did not say anything to him.

Rose saw more and more Trevon in Jasper. She said, “Hey, kid, are you pretending to be cold to me? Do you not

even listen/ to Aunt Rose anymore?”

Jasper rolled her eyes. “Auntie, it’s quite clean.”

Rose looked at the clean table and choked. She only did this to tell them to help when they were eating.

Sherri and Natalie came over with the dishes. The two of them chatted and laughed. Two plates were placed on the

table. Natalie turned around and went to get food again. There were a total of three plates.

After placing the last plate on the table, Natalie smiled and said, “Don’t tell people that you didn’t have enough to

eat here. If it’s not enough, I’ll go get more.”

Rose teased and gave her a thumbs-up. “You really can do whatever you want in your own cafeteria, awesome.”

Ruby didn’t know what Rose meant. She learned from her aunt and gave Natalie a thumbs-up. “Awesome.”

Natalie said, “My goddaughter knows the word awesome? That’s great. Hehe, quickly eat. Tell me what you want to

eat, okay?”

Seeing the familiar pizza on the table, Rose asked in confusion, “Do you have such a pizza every day?”

Natalie took out the dishes from the plate and handed the macaroni to the two little guys. She replied, “Yes, isn’t it

winter now? There must be pizza.”

Sherri bit on the fork, narrowed her eyes and pondered for a few seconds. With one hand supporting her cheek,

she said, “You guys… Don’t you think this pizza looks familiar?”

Natalie sat down beside her son and picked up some food for him to eat. “Isn’t it the kind we ate in the hospital

previously? Isn’t this the same? What’s the difference?”

“Let me try it and see if there’s any difference.” Rose picked up a fork and picked up a piece for the two little guys.

Then, she picked up a piece for herself. It was steaming hot. She reminded the children beside her, “It’s a little hot.

Blow on it before eating.”

Ruby continued to blow on it like her aunt. Then, she stuffed it into her mouth. As for Jasper, he did not do this at all.

He directly let the pizza cool on the plate before moving his fork. It saved him a lot of effort.

After finishing a mouthful of food, Sherri and Rose looked at each other at the same time. Then, they looked at

Natalie, who

was feeding the child. “Natalie.”

Natalie met their strange gazes and asked, “What?”

Sherri swallowed the food in her mouth. “Have you eaten food from the canteen?”

Natalie did not stop eating and continued to pick up food for the two little guys. “Are you talking nonsense? If I don’t

eat here, where should I eat? In the streets?”

“Then, did you notice that the taste is wrong? It tastes the same as what we ate in the cafeteria of Athana Hospital.

I’m talking about the past, not the current cafeteria.” Roșe voiced her thoughts.

“I’ve only eaten there twice or once. Back then, Trevon would go out with me to eat when he was free. The taste is

about the same.” Natalie really did not care much. The dishes she cooked during her confinement period were

similar to this. She thought that all chefs with good culinary skills were like this.

Their cookings all tasted similar.

Sherri stretched out an index finger and kept shaking it left and right to indicate that this was not the case. She

glanced at her future son-in-law, who was eating happily, and her daughter beside her, planning to go to the

kitchen to investigate. Seeing her best friend get up without eating, Natalie knew that she was up to no good.

“You’re not thinking of going to the kitchen, are you?”

“Yes, you’re right.”

Natalie looked at her best friend speechlessly, who was clearly about to cause trouble. “Yes, my ass. Eat first. Ruby

isn’t even full yet. The pizza is going to get cold. Others only eat the food more when they find it delicious, while you

want to find the chef right away? What a strange approach.”

How could these words stop Sherri, who was filled with the desire to explore? She had long separated her butt from

the stool. Before she left, she even asked Rose to take care of Ruby. “Rose, help me look after Ruby for a while. I’ll

go and verify the truth and come back to share it with you.”

Afraid that her best friend would not be able to find the kitchen door, Natalie stood up helplessly. Worried that Rose

would not be able to take care of two children by herself, she planned to carry her son over.

“Let Jasper stay here. I can keep an eye on him. It’s not like you guys are leaving for days. I’m a pediatrician. I have

a way to take care of them. Hurry up and keep an eye on Sherri.”

Compared to the two children, Rose was more worried about the evil Sherri.

“Okay, Jasper and Ruby, you can’t get off the stool. You can only sit on the stool. Do you hear me? The two of us will

be back soon.”

Ruby answered obediently, “Okay.”

“Kay,” Jasper replied lightly. He continued to eat macaroni and beans. He was not picky at all because his father

would be unhappy if he was.

Rose stared at Jasper and thought, “Is coldness inherited? Will warmth also be inherited in the future?”

There were three doors at the entrance of the kitchen. Sherri did not know which door to push open. Natalie’s

helpless voice came from behind. “I told you not to mess around, but you insisted on coming, yet you don’t even

know which door to open.”

As she spoke, she pushed open one of the doors. The huge, clean kitchen appeared in front of Sherri, but her

attention was not on it. It was on the chef.

There was more than one chef in the room. There were several of them, one in charge of pastries, one in charge of

steaming, and

many more…

Sherri asked with a smile, “Can I ask who made this pizza and sausage? It’s so delicious. It tastes like my mother. I

want to meet the chef.”

Natalie was speechless.

Half an hour later.

Sherri was as proud as a Sherlock Holmes. With a halo above her head, she strode back to the cafeteria with

confidence.

Seeing the two of them return, Rose asked anxiously, “How did it go? Have you cracked the case? Is it what we

think it is?”

“Of course. You must trust a woman’s sixth sense, Who am I? I’m Detective Landor. Please call me Sherlock

Landor.”

Natalie looked at her in disdain. “Just watch her brag.”

Sherri said, “Just tell me if I’in good or not. Did I solve the case? I already said that my mouth is the best proof.”

“Yes, yes, yes. You have a gold-rimmed mouth. Eat quickly. The pizza is already cold.”

The conversation between the two of them allowed Rose to roughly understand that the chef had some inside

information.

Chapter 539

“So, what secret did you find exactly Detective Landor? Tell me.”

Sherri took a bite of macaroni and picked up the sausage. The two little guys looked at the excited Sherri and kept

staring. “Eat quickly,” She said to the kids.

Then, she shared it with Rose. “Let me tell you, this chef was originally a chef from our hospital. He was invited over

when Natalie was pregnant. After Natalie gave birth, he resigned. I was wondering why the taste changed after I

returned from maternity leave. So that’s the why. Now that Natalie is here to work, he’s also here to work. Think

about it. Think about it carefully.”

Rose was speechless.

After being stunned for a while, she finally figured it out. “So this is all Trevon’s doing?”

Sherri snapped her fingers. “That’s right. It’s Mr. Wilson’s masterpiece. Natalie, your Old Trevon is quite well-hidden.

I remember that during your pregnancy, you didn’t let him come to the hospital to deliver food to you in order to

keep a low profile. But, in the end, he secretly brought the chef home. I wondered why the canteen’s food was

upgraded during that period. It turns out that I’ve thanked the director for nothing. A few days ago, I even

slandered the director for bringing the chef home for his own use.”

“Shut up. Hurry up mouth.

and eat. It’s like even food can’t shut your mouth.” As Rose spoke, she stuffed a fried egg down Sherri’s

Ruby covered her mouth and laughed. “Sherri, feed food.”

As it was a sunny side up and the egg yolk was raw, Sherri sprayed yellow liquid at Natalie as soon as she spoke.

Natalie subconsciously turned sideways, but she was still hit. She took a tissue and wiped it. “I’m about to really

beat you to death. Are you eating or not?”

Sherri continued to tease her. She was really happy for Natalie. “Are you happy? Are you touched? Are you

surprised? Are you shocked?”

“Are you a good sandbag?”

“I’m just joking. I know you’re overjoyed inside. You’re too old to be acting like a brute. Can’t you be as gentle as

me?” Sherri’s coquettish voice gave people goosebumps.

As she spoke, she even made a hand gesture and slowly picked up the food, deliberately acting extremely elegant.

Even she herself found it uncomfortable to act like this.

Natalie, on the other hand, looked like she did not mind watching Sherrie continue acting. Gentle? This word clearly

had nothing to do with Sherri.

Rose felt that Sherri probably had some misunderstanding of what being gentle meant.

After lunch, because the two children were going to take an afternoon nap and there were two younger children at

home, Sherri also had a younger child at home, and the three of them parted ways.

Even Natalie did not expect that Sherri and the others would be able to solve a case after coming to the canteen

for a meal.

At night.

Because Trevon had just returned to work, he had a lot of things to do. He had returned home rather late these

days. After washing up the two children, Natalie hid under the blanket to read and recharge.

past few

The sound of tires rubbing against the ground came from downstairs. Then, there was silence. The engine must

have stopped. She knew that Trevon was back.

After a while, the door was pushed open. She glanced at the man who came in with the cold wind. “You’re back. Go

take a shower first. I’ll get you some clothes.”

“No need. Stay in bed. I’ll just take it in.” The weather was rather cold, and he did not want her to leave the bed.

Fifteen minutes later, the man came out in his pajamas. “Why aren’t you asleep?”

Natalie patted the bed and gestured for him to come over. “Let me ask you something.”

“Why are you so serious? I didn’t do anything wrong.”

Trevon promised first.

“What happened to the chef? Did you arrange it?” Although she already knew the answer, she still wanted to hear it

from him.

Hearing this, Trevon smiled. He thought that she would never notice. “How did you find out?”

He basically admitted that it was his doing.

“This might be a disappointment. I didn’t find out. It was Sherri who did. Not your wife.”

After saying that, Natalie spread her hands helplessly.

Trevon lifted the blanket and lay down. “I didn’t plan to tell you either. I just wanted you to eat better. I didn’t mean

anything else. Previously, you didn’t let me deliver lunch when you were pregnant. So, I had no choice but to

change the chef in your hospital.”

“And now you’ve arranged for the chef to go to the station. Trevon, aren’t you afraid of spoiling me?”

The man said seriously and confidently, “No, I have the ability. You can do whatever you want.”

The topic changed. Trevon did not want Natalie to keep dwelling on this question. As long as she ate well, it was

enough. “This morning, the servant said that there were a lot of ointment shells and painkillers in the trash of

Lena’s room. It’s not appropriate for me to ask. Take her for a checkup tomorrow.”

“Okay, I’ll ask her tomorrow.”

Lena had always only relayed good news but not bad news. She never said that she was feeling unwell because she

did not want Natalie to worry.
