Chapter 498
Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
Chapter 498 Christina tightened her grip on the phone and leaned against the staircase at the side. She did not dare to go down and she thought about the outcome. If Joseph said that he was at Athana after the call connected, their partnership might end here.
If she did not end it there, she might cause trouble for the other party. With Angieâs straightforward personality, she would definitely look for Joseph to have a chat with him. Most importantly, Angie would be very polite when she looked for him. There was nothing wrong with her.
Most importantly, their secret would be exposed if Angie talked to him. Christina would be beaten up when she got home.
Back then, there was a woman who liked Chris. She went to the hospital every day to look for him and show her love to him, seriously hindering Chrisâs daily life. In the end, it was Angie who investigated this girl overall. It would be fine if she did not investigate, but once she investigated, she found that this girl did not have any good merits from head to toe. Her reputation was extremely bad.
The Yamin family hoped that the children had a lover, but they should put quality before quantity. They would not just randomly find one and marry her. At the very least, her values and character had to be good. She could be uncultured, but she had to have a good character. As a person, she had to be a good human first before she could do anything.
Otherwise, if she was not a good person, could she do good deeds?
They didnât know what Angie said to the girl when she met her. From that day on, the girl didnât come to look for Chris ever again and Chris was happy again.
Three pairs of eyes downstairs looked at Christina apprehensively, expressing their sympathy. Only Angie was waiting.
Christina took a deep breath and dialed the number, which she had rarely called it. She was very panicked but still maintained a calm expression and tried her best to keep her voice steady. The phone rang a few times before it was picked 1.
At that time, in the Roberts family.
Joseph had just paid the bill and stepped out of the car when the phone in his pocket rang. He picked up the call and stood in the courtyard without entering the living room. Behind him were Ethan and Pat, who were hiding and protecting him.
There was something heavy in his hand. âHello,â he said.
On the other end of the phone, Christina seemed to be giving him a signal. She took a deep breath and asked gently, âHey, where are you?â.....
Upon hearing this, Joseph narrowed his eyes. His eyes were deep. His first reaction was that something was wrong with her. This woman had never asked such a question. Usually, she would give him money cleanly. This time, her voice was very strange this time. Not only was her voice strange, but even her actions were also strange. After the two of them had each otherâs contact information, it could only collect money. The most he said was that he had received the money.
In a second, he thought of the passionate gaze at the supermarket. In just a few seconds, Joseph figured it out. He smiled and handed the thing in his hand to Ethan and Pat. His eyes signaled them to take it to the house and he had to make a call. Then, he deliberately paused for a few seconds to create a tense atmosphere.
After a while, he replied, âIâm overseas. Did you miss me? Do you need me to come to Athana?â
At the Yamin family.
The entire family held their breaths as they listened to a magnetic voice come from the phone. His voice was very pleasant, especially when he said, âDid you miss me?â
Everyoneâs expressions were different.
This made the Yamin familyâs people suddenly feel like they were true lovers. Even Angie laughed because Josephâs answer was flawless.
Angie believed that she had made a mistake. The usually calm Christinaâs ears turned red because of shyness from Josephâs teasing. She looked like the shy wife of someone as she rubbed her neck awkwardly and coughed politely to hide her embarrassment. âNo, I just wanted to ask where you are.â
Josephâs magnetic voice continued to appear and fill the entire living room. Everyone pricked up their ears to hear their love words. âAlright, Iâm a little disappointed. I thought you missed me. Iâll come to look for you not long in the future.â
Christina thought, âIs this guy an actor? Improvise?â
âThen Iâm hanging up. Donât be too tired during the holiday. You should have a good rest. Youâre just working too hard. Take good care of your body.â
Before hanging up, Joseph instructed her carefully.
Christina was speechless.
Josephâs words made Christina even more embarrassed. Her cold and little face was red. She couldnât wait to hang up the phone. If this continued, she didnât know what words this man could say. âOkay, bye.â
Realizing that Christina was about to hang up, Joseph did not continue. He politely said goodbye, âBye.â
Christina was afraid that he would give her a kiss. Fortunately, he didnât.
After hanging up, Christina still looked at the communication record on her phone in disbelief. She felt that she had called the wrong number.
âChristina, his voice is so nice. Heâs so gentle and attentive.â
Stella made exaggerated gestures and kept praising Joseph.
Chris thought that Christinaâs suitor was hired by her with money, but he did not expect it to be true. He was also very shocked. The person hired should not be so smart.
He definitely didnât know that Christina was on speaker. Chrisâs sense was the same as Angieâs. It had always been very accurate. He was sure that the man really liked Christina.
If it was fake, then his acting skills were definitely great. Ordinary people would not have such a fast reaction.
Angie finally smiled and kept saying, âChristina, this man is not bad. At least heâs meticulous and can show concern. The next time he comes to Athana, bring him home, okay? The one you bring home doesnât necessarily have to get married. As friends, he can also visit. Donât have a conservative thought. If itâs suitable, you can be husband and wife. If itâs not, you can also be friends.â
Stella thought to herself, âMom, youâre really fashionable.â
Christina did not want to argue with Angie about whether they were lovers and friends. She nodded perfunctorily and quickly turned around to go upstairs. She returned to her room and heaved a sigh of relief. Josephâs words of concern kept ringing in her ears. His voice was indeed very attractive and pleasant to the ears.
Stella wanted to go upstairs to gossip more, but Chris grabbed her arm and pulled her back forcefully. One of her slippers fell off, and she suddenly raised her voice. âWhat are you doing?â
Chris asked, âWhat are you doing?â
âIâll go ask Christina and her boyfriend how far theyâve progressed. Iâll go and show some concern.â As Stella put on her slippers, she tried to break free from Chrisâs grip, but Chris refused to let go.
âBe careful. Christina will ask you to build blocks together. You forgot? If you like it, you can go up. I wonât stop you.â Chris immediately let go and deliberately waved his hand for Stella to go up.
After hearing that, Stella did not dare to provoke Christina anymore. Last time, it was because she had asked Christina if her boyfriend would come for Christmas. After that, she was punished for several hours. It was still unforgettable. She felt that her hands were trembling.
She did not want to go through it again. She could not do that kind of patient work. She suspected that Christina had masochistic tendencies.
Christina could have bought anything, but she had to buy such things to test her patience and meticulousness.
At the Roberts family, after Joseph hung up the phone, he turned around and was about to enter the door when he saw Frank looking at him meaningfully with a faint smile. Clearly, he had heard the conversation just now.
Joseph was not embarrassed. He just smiled lightly. âYou are very free, right?â
âA little. I am not busy during the holiday.â Frank continued to lean lazily against the door frame and wanted to gossip openly.
It was obvious that he wanted Joseph to say something. However, Joseph would not say a word about anything he did not want to say. Frank didnât care and he thought, âJoseph would be able to say it sooner or later.â
Because there was nota secret.
The two of them walked in one after another. Ava sat at Graceâs side and listened to something seriously.
Daniel was dragged by William to play chess as soon as he entered the door. He wanted to win! Joseph said, âHello, Grace.â
Grace turned around and smiled. âHello, you can drink coffee with Frank.â
âAlright, shall we go?â Joseph asked Frank, who was beside him. Frankâs gaze was fixed on Ava. This time, after the little girl came, she was not as clingy as before. Instead, she immediately went to discuss management issues with Grace.
It was said that Ava studied business administration. She had a lot to learn, so Frank could guess what the little girl wanted to do.
Alright, Ava wanted to be Frankâs best assistant. In the future, she could help him reduce his burden and help solve some internal problems.
Grace was carefully explaining the problem, and Ava was listening attentively. She wanted to take notes in her notebook. Grace smiled and said, âYou want to help Frank?â
Looking at Frankâs back as he left, Ava nodded. âYes.â
It was too tiring for Frank to manage such a big company alone. If Grace and the others were old in the future, Frank would have to be very busy.
Grace said, âDid we give you pressure? Ava, if you donât want to learn these things, you donât have to. You have your outstanding major.â
Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
Emma did not object to Ava having such thoughts. This meant that Ava was maturing and planning for her and Frankâs future. She was slowly growing up and her mental state was changing. Ava was becoming better. This was not a bad thing. Once a person wanted to work hard and study, it was a good thing.
âIf she wants to learn, just let her. Itâs not a bad thing to learn more.â
Grace patted the back of Avaâs hand. âAva, if you like it, learn it. If you donât like it, you donât force yourself to learn it. Thereâs no need.â If Frank knew, he would be heartbroken.
âNo, Grace. At first, I didnât understand it. After all, it was transferred from the computer to those theories and management. However, as time passed, I seemed to understand it. I felt a sense of accomplishment. You canât tell Frank that I worked hard.â
Otherwise, Frank would be heartbroken. Ava did not tell Frank that she had applied for a second major. Previously, Ava did not allow Frank to go to Sapphire City because he had Avaâs schedule on his phone.
Once he went to Sapphire City, her classes would not match her schedule. She was very busy and needed to take extra classes. She also did not have time to accompany Frank. He would definitely be heartbroken.
In fact, after Ava rejected him time and time again, Frank had long been suspicious. Frank had spies in Sapphire City. It would be clear if he called this person. Frank had just been acting with Ava.
Frank pretended not to know. Ava wanted to act, and Frank accompanied her.
The more Grace looked at Ava, the more she liked her. Age had nothing to do with childishness, but maturity seemed to have something to do with true love. When one really loved someone, they would automatically want to change for the other party. They would become mature, understand the other party, and feel sorry for the other party. At this moment, Ava was like this.
In the coffee room, Joseph picked up the coffee Frank poured and took a graceful sip. He placed the coffee back on the table and picked up the phone at the corner of the table to look at it.
He held his phone in one hand and looked at it. He had earned a total of 1.6 million dollars, it was 8 photos. They started working together, he could become a rich man even if he didnât do anything.
How many people would be envious?
