Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

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 Angie’s 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 Chris’s 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 didn’t know what Angie said to the girl when she met her. From that day on, the girl didn’t 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. “Hello,” 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, “Hey, where are you?”…..

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 other’s 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, “I’m overseas. Did you miss me? Do you need me to come to Athana?”

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, “Did you miss me?”

Everyone’s expressions were different.

This made the Yamin family’s people suddenly feel like they were true lovers. Even Angie laughed because Joseph’s

answer was flawless.

Angie believed that she had made a mistake. The usually calm Christina’s ears turned red because of shyness from

Joseph’s teasing. She looked like the shy wife of someone as she rubbed her neck awkwardly and coughed politely

to hide her embarrassment. “No, I just wanted to ask where you are.”

Joseph’s magnetic voice continued to appear and fill the entire living room. Everyone pricked up their ears to hear

their love words. “Alright, I’m a little disappointed. I thought you missed me. I’ll come to look for you not long in the

future.”

Christina thought, “Is this guy an actor? Improvise?”

“Then I’m hanging up. Don’t be too tired during the holiday. You should have a good rest. You’re just working too

hard. Take good care of your body.” Before hanging up, Joseph instructed her carefully.

Christina was speechless.

Joseph’s words made Christina even more embarrassed. Her cold and little face was red. She couldn’t wait to hang

up the phone. If this continued, she didn’t know what words this man could say. “Okay, bye.”

Realizing that Christina was about to hang up, Joseph did not continue. He politely said goodbye, “Bye.”

Christina was afraid that he would give her a kiss. Fortunately, he didn’t.

After hanging up, Christina still looked at the communication record on her phone in disbelief. She felt that she had

called the wrong number.

“Christina, his voice is so nice. He’s so gentle and attentive.”

Stella made exaggerated gestures and kept praising Joseph.

Chris thought that Christina’s 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 didn’t know that Christina was on speaker. Chris’s sense was the same as Angie’s. 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, “Christina, this man is not bad. At least he’s meticulous and can show concern.

The next time he comes to Athana, bring him home, okay? The one you bring home doesn’t necessarily have to get

married. As friends, he can also visit. Don’t have a conservative thought. If it’s suitable, you can be husband and

wife. If it’s not, you can also be friends.”

Stella thought to herself, “Mom, you’re really fashionable.”

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. Joseph’s 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. “What are you doing?”

Chris asked, “What are you doing?”

“I’ll go ask Christina and her boyfriend how far they’ve progressed. I’ll go and show some concern.” As Stella put on

her slippers, she tried to break free from Chris’s grip, but Chris refused to let go.

“Be careful. Christina will ask you to build blocks together. You forgot? If you like it, you can go up. I won’t stop you.”

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. “You are very free, right?”

“A little. I am not busy during the holiday.” 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 didn’t care and he thought, “Joseph would be able to say it sooner or later.”

Because there was nota secret.

The two of them walked in one after another. Ava sat at Grace’s 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, “Hello,

Grace.”

Grace turned around and smiled. “Hello, you can drink coffee with Frank.”

“Alright, shall we go?” Joseph asked Frank, who was beside him. Frank’s 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 Frank’s 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, “You want to help Frank?”

Looking at Frank’s back as he left, Ava nodded. “Yes.”

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, “Did we give you pressure? Ava, if you don’t want to learn these things, you don’t have to. You have

your outstanding major.”

Emma did not object to Ava having such thoughts. This meant that Ava was maturing and planning for her and

Frank’s 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.

“If she wants to learn, just let her. It’s not a bad thing to learn more.”

Grace patted the back of Ava’s hand. “Ava, if you like it, learn it. If you don’t like it, you don’t force yourself to learn

it. There’s no need.” If Frank knew, he would be heartbroken.

“No, Grace. At first, I didn’t 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 can’t tell

Frank that I worked hard.”

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 Ava’s 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 didn’t do anything.

How many people would be envious?
