Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 366 Edward Landor’s goods arrived at the pier on time.

Kyle Jenkins took off his jacket and threw it aside. He directed the workers unloading the goods to ensure they were in good condition.

Half an hour later, all the goods were unloaded on the pier and reloaded onto a truck. Edward dusted off his clothes and dutied up.

Kyle threw his jacket over his shoulder and approached his boss, recalling Edward's earlier expression when he looked at Rose.

“Miss Roberts looks like a decent young woman. You-* Edward interrupted him before Kyle could finish his sentence. Do | look like a scumbag to you?” Kyle understood what he meant and shrugged. “Forget 1 said that.” Kyle hoped Edward could emerge from Natalie's shadow soon. Moreover, Rose Roberts looked pretty decent to him. Edward might not have even realized he smiled while looking at Rose. Clearly, he was intrigued.

Moments later, Edward spoke his mind. “It's unfair to Natalie no matter who | choose now. My heart can't hold two women,” he lamented.

Edward believed there was a void in his heart; it was challenging to redirect his love to someone else now. An empty heart could hold the entire world, but it had no room for another person.

Kyle felt that Edward had walled himself up and imprisoned his heart, feeling it with cement. Therefore, he had no room for another woman in his life..

He hoped a ray of light would soon open Edward's heart before it was too late, Otherwise, he probably would become a monk should the situation continue.

On the other hand, Edward believed a person could not hold an umbrella for two people simultaneously; he would be drenched in no time. It would be too crowded for his heart to hold two people. Therefore, he resorted to leaving it alone.

Kyle did not utter another word before he left. He might be able to awaken a person in slumber intentionally, but he could not awaken someone who deliberately wanted to sleep forever.

Kyle returned to work while Edward went home.

Edward’s mother, Juana, sent a message on the family group chat. [Dinner at home tonight.] Sherri Landor changed the group chat name to “Happy Family” moments ago.

[Hackett will be home for dinner tonight. Are you busy, son? Can you rush back?] Juana texted.

Edward replied in a voice message while at the traffic light. Will be back soon, Mom. Anything you need?] Although Juana was constantly on Sherri’s back, she was concerned when her daughter was pregnant. Juana had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. [Get some sour candy from the supermarket nearby. Sherri has been vomiting recently, and she doesn’t like taking medicine. Get something tasty!] she texted.

Edward frowned when he saw the message. [Mom, I'll buy it now. Do you want anything else? I'll buy some snacks for Ruby too.] Juana told him to do as he saw fit.

Edward merged his car into the turning lane, recalling a mother and baby shop nearby. The candy selection there was suitable for children. Edward learned from experience during Sherri's first pregnancy that snacks from the supermarket were unsuitable.

Edward had the initiative to find out what food was suitable for pregnant women, but he did not dare to take over as a father. He chuckled when he thought of that.

He returned home after buying what he needed.

When Edward entered the living room, he saw Sherri vomiting into a trash can. Hackett Blackwell did not even frown as he held the trash can with one hand and gently patted his wife’s back with the other to soothe her.

Hackett asked worriedly, “Are you okay, dear? If you can’t take it anymore, why don’t you-" he wanted to say abort it but held his tongue. He did not know the hardship of pregnancy, having only witnessed the delivery but not the whole duration of pregnancy.

If he were aware of the suffering during pregnancy, he would not have let Sherri have a second child, no matter what. Hackett could not bear seeing his wife tortured; it made his heart ache terribly.

Sherri did not eat much for the last few days; she vomited everything she consumed.

Edward's heart ached as much, but he was satisfied with Hackett's performance. He put a bag of snacks on the table and handed over a sour candy. “Try this, Sherri. It should be able to hold it down for the time being.” Hackett quickly put down the trash can and cleaned his hands with a disinfectant wipe. He took the sour candy and unwrapped it. “Take this, dear.” He looked at his wife lovingly.

Sherri's face was white as a sheet; she had no more strength to barf. She put the candy in her mouth, and the sour sensation instantly invaded her taste buds and went straight to her head. Like magic, it immediately suppressed her urge to vomit.

She felt much more comfortable after that.

Sherri Landor was a straightforward woman. She did not know if her brother had randomly bought the sour candy or by choice.

“It is delicious, Edward. Where did you buy it? | feel much better now; | feel alive!” Edward was expressionless. He patted his sister's head and said casually. “The salesperson recommended it. 'm glad it works.

Take note of it the next time you feel nauseating.” His last sentence was directed at Hackett. Only Edward knew how he had selected the right sour candy for his sister.

However, even Edward did not want to delve into this issue. He put it down to luck.

He picked up Ruby, who stood beside him with a frown. “Are you worried about Mommy, Ruby?” Ruby’s face remained furrowed. Even at such a young age, her brows were knitted together as she nodded.

Edward held Ruby in his arms to comfort her. “Mommy is feeling unwell for the time being. She will be able to fight a tiger in no time,” he said jokingly.

Ruby looked up skeptically when she heard about fighting a tiger. “Uncle,” she said softly.

She wanted to ask her uncle if it were true. Could her mother fight a tiger? However, her vocabulary was limited, and she could only utter “Uncle”.

Edward smiled and reassured her; he kissed Ruby's forehead. “Uncle guarantees that Mommy can eat a big meal at dinner.” Ruby smiled and kissed Edward. The two rubbed their noses affectionately.

Hacken thought the sour candy was effective when he saw Sherri feeling better. He took another candy and examined it. Then he took a photo in case he forgot what it looked like. In the end, he did not bother with how Edward found the candy in the first place.

Sherri’s appetite improved somewhat during dinner after eating the sour candy. Hackett moved all the fishy-smelling dishes to Juana’s side. “Mom. Sherri can't stand the fishy smell now,” he said thoughtfully.

Although Juana did not say it out loud, she was deeply concerned about her daughter. She placed a sausage on Sherri’s plate.

“This should suit your taste. Try it Sherri was flattered, knowing her mother was stubborn but had a good heart. “I love you. Mommy. Thank you.” Ruby remembered what Edward said about her mother earlier, that she would have a big meal at dinner. She glanced at Sherri’s plate from time to time throughout dinner. When Sherri finally finished all her food, Ruby smiled sweetly at Edward beside her.

Edward patted Ruby’s head lovingly as he fed her.

Richard and Juana Landor were equally happy when they saw Sherri finish everything on her plate; they smiled at each other.

Sherri belched as she rubbed her stomach. “I have been starving to death. This meal is such a blessing. | wasn't like this when | was pregnant with Ruby,” she sighed.

Sherri was fine when pregnant with Ruby and enjoyed her food throughout her pregnancy. However, she vomited whatever she ate with her second child; it was brutal.

Hackett was equally distressed by Sherri’s situation. He muttered, “No more babies after giving birth to this one. In the future, we will fully support Ruby if she doesn’t want to get married and have a family. From tomorrow onwards, I'll personally deliver food to the hospital, whatever you want to eat, dear.” Richard nodded in satisfaction. He smiled and praised his son-in-law, “It's bitter before sweet. Thank you, Hackett.” Hackett replied immediately. “It's nothing. Dad. Sherri suffers because of me.” “This guy is quite decent. Why didn’t | notice it before?” Richard thought.

Hackett and his family returned to the Blackwell family’s residence because Joy called to inform them she had made newly purchased swift grain for Sherri. Juana urged them to return promptly, not to let Hackett's mother down.

She was glad Sherri was doted on by her mother-in-law.

It was noon on the next day at Athana Hospital.

Hackett arrived at the hospital on time to deliver lunch for his wife. He laid out the dishes in a spread on the table. Natalie Foster and Rose Roberts were speechless when they saw the selection.

There was creamy potato soup, swift grain, vegetable casserole, sausages, barbecue ribs, chicken drumsticks, fruit salad, pizza, and more The wide array of dishes dumbfounded Sherri Rose could not believe her eyes. The spread could easily feed an army Natalie was also at a loss for words when she saw the dishes. Fortunately, she did not ask Trevon Wilson to deliver lunch for her Otherwise, it would probably be the same. “Your Highness, you can dive in now” Hackett bowed his head.

Sherri was happy to be pampered like a queen. | love you so much, Hackett. Do you want to eat with me?” Hackett could not refuse, he had to serve his wife too. His mother instructed him to take note of dishes that Sherri liked and disliked so she could put together the right menu for dinner Joy Blackwell kept herself busy of late. She had focused solely on Ruby previously. Now she had to add Sherri to the mix, making her day even more hectic However, she did not complain.

Hackett called out to Natalie and Rose, “Hey, why don’t you have something to eat too Natalie shook her head and did not want to disrupt their love lunch. “No, thanks | don’t want to be a third wheel,” she said smilingly taste of the pregnancy eal, Rose? Hackett’s words did not sound like a sincere invitation Rose said in disdain. | think I'll pass Tacos and fried rice are more my thing After all, I'm single Hackett, you should focus queen. Goodbye “ Sherri did not manage to keep Natalie around for lunch. Rose left the room shortly after Rose linked arms with Natalie as they strolled to the canteen while paying particular attention to passersby in case someone bumped into Natalie “What do you want to eat! You're pregnant now I'll try to suit your taste” “I don’t fancy anything in particular Im not picky when it comes to food” Even though both were pregnant, Rose noticed that Natalie behaved differently than Sherri “It's true you're not picky. Natalie Other than having a slightly larger appetite, you are like your usual self before pregnancy,” Rose remarked.

“Maybe Sherri is pregnant with an angel baby Natalie laughed Probably so Rose agreed Rose understood why Natalie did not allow Trevon to deliver food to the hospital. Their wedding was so spectacular, it was the talk of the town. Rose often overhead negative comments about them when she went to the restroom. Those who envied Natalie would always have something bad to say about her behind her back, no matter how trivial Tongues would indeed wag if Trevon delivered deluxe meals for Natalie daily Rose could understand why Natalie preferred to keep a low profile
