Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 520

The car stopped in front of a quaint building.

Joseph turned off the engine and got out of the car. Christina unbuckled her seatbelt at the same time.

Just as she was about to open the door, Joseph opened the door first. He stood outside and reached

out to help her.

Christina did not argue and reached out to give him her hand. In an instant, his large hand wrapped

around hers and held her hand as they got out of the car. His warm palm transmitted warmth. After

getting out of the car, she wanted to let go, but she realized that the man had no intention of letting go.

Christina looked up questioningly. Joseph simply said, “The 2

hold your hand.”

Should she say that he was scheming or that he

was meticulous?

snow up ahead, so it will be slippery. It’s better for me to

Just like that, he led her into the restaurant. The private room had been booked long ago. It could be

seen that Joseph had arranged everything in advance and had a plan. Christina indeed liked to have a

plan. He was a mature man and knew what he was doing.

She didn’t like immature men who were younger than her. At the very least, it was very tiring when it

came to communication.

When they arrived at the private room, Ethan and Benjamin did not enter. Instead, they waited

respectfully outside.

After sitting down, Christina said, “Since the driver who drove me previously was a bodyguard, why

was he still knocked down by a mediocre person like me?”

Joseph took off his jacket, then took the jacket Christina had taken off as well and put them on the

hanger. He pushed up his cuffs, exposing his dark blue wristwatch in the air. He said unhurriedly, “His

duty is to protect you, not counterattack.” Christina did not say anything else and seemed to

understand. She took the menu offered by Joseph and expressed her gratitude. “Thank you. Do you

have any recommendations Mr. Turner?”

This time, Joseph did not sit across from Christina. Instead, he naturally pulled the chair closer and sat

on the side. He’ leaned closer and recommended, “This and this are not bad. Ava asks for takeouts

every time. If you like them, you can order them both.”

Christina was not a wasteful person. “It’s just the two of us. We won’t be able to finish it if we over-

order. Your sister is quite likable.”..

After ordering, a strand of hair fell down. Joseph couldn’t help but reach out to help her push it back.

Their eyes met and the atmosphere felt ambiguous. In an instant, it was as if sparks exploded between

them. Christina looked away first and subconsciously tidied her hair. Her heartbeat was slightly

abnormal.

Joseph did not seem to see anything. He only curled his lips at an angle where Christina could not see.

He smiled faintly and said, “Ava is more lively. She says whatever she wants. Don’t take it to heart if

she does anything wrong. She doesn’t have any

bad intentions.”

“No, I like her. Joseph?”

Suddenly stopped, Joseph turned around and replied in confusion, “Huh? What?”..

“Have you wooed other women?” Christina looked at him, waiting for an answer. She did not know why

she had asked. Perhaps she was selfish and wanted to hear the answer in her heart.

Joseph said with certainty, “You’re the first. Before you, I didn’t want to get married.”

She did not reply and only smiled. The dishes were served very quickly. Throughout the entire process,

Joseph took care of Christina. He remembered that Christina said that she did not like to peel crabs.

He rolled up the sleeves of his sweater, put on his gloves, and used a tool to pick the meat.

From the corner of her eye, she saw that this man was taking care of her. He did honest, Christina was

very touched. No man had ever treated her like this.

Charlie Yamin was not very thoughtful, not to mention Chris Yamin. At the dining table, he ate his own

food and left after eating. She was the one who peeled the shelled seafood for her younger siblings

and put food on their plates.

However, she wasn’t sure how long Joseph’s gentleness could last. She was also a li

a little afraid. If a person ate delicacies, it would be difficult for her to accept eating pickled vegetables

every day.

After dinner, Joseph even took her to a few places. They were all places that Joseph often went to

when he was free. It could be considered another way to let Christina understand him.

Just like that, during the day, while Christina was waiting for Joseph to sign the contract with her,

Joseph would bring her out to know more about him every day. He wanted her to let go of the NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

hesitation and conflict in her heart without rushing her. Hejust brought her out to have fun and make her

happy.

One afternoon, after Christina and Joseph finished their lunch, Angie finally couldn’t hold back her

curiosity and called.

“Christina, how are you getting along with Joseph?”

Christina was not surprised that her mother already knew. There must be a reason why she did not call

for so long. “Mom, as you wished.”

Angie said anxiously, “You’ve already been gone for a few days. His parents are about to go back, but

the two of you aren’t together yet. Didn’t the two of you already get to know each other for a long time?

Now, you’ve already gone to Sapphire City to get to know each other. Haven’t you gotten to know each

other well enough?”

Christina sighed. “Mom, it’s not a bad thing for me to know more.”

Her parents didn’t know that Joseph was the boss of the equipment company. Christina hadn’t

mentioned it yet, nor had she told her parents about the series of events in Sapphire City. Angie said,

“I’m telling you, since he’s a professor, he might be a little held back when it comes to courtship. If you

like him, you can ignore gender and take the initiative first.” \

Christina, “…” Was she a wolf? However, sometimes when she saw Joseph, she did have the urge to

pounce on him. Perhaps she had been single for too long.

“Mom, have you watched too many television dramas?” How could her mother expect her to attack the

guy, right? She really had to hand it to her mother.

“Let me tell you, the TV dramas I watched still have some use. University professors tend to be too

disciplined and rigid. After chasing you for so long, you refused to give any answers. There must be

something wrong with the way he’s doing it. Let me tell you, it’s not embarrassing for girls to take the

initiative. As long as he likes you and you like him, the ultimate goal is to facilitate a beautiful love. If the

man doesn’t like you, then it’s a different story. You definitely can’t fall for him. This is completely

different. This means you are throwing yourself at him.”

Angie analyzed according to the television dramas she had watched. She was logical like a love expert.

However, Angie did make some sense. People knew it when they liked each other. “Got it. Go back to

your TV then.”

Angie urged again, “Hurry up. He has such a good job, is a good man, and has good looks, so he’s a

good catch. Do you hear

me?”

“Yes, yes,” Christina repeated perfunctorily.

After hanging up, Christina was speechless. If her parents knew that Joseph was the boss of this

company and had the largest hotel in Sapphire City, what would they think?

Her mother probably had some misunderstanding about Joseph. He had set up traps and flirted with

her from time to time. She was probably thinking too much about him being rigid. However, Christina

felt that Joseph was accommodating her these few days.

He did not press on.

At night, in the sunroom of the Sapphire Hotel, half of the people were already asleep. Outside the

transparent glass, was a beautiful starry sky dotted with stars.

Only the sober man and woman were sampling expensive red wine. The red nails added to the

woman’s charm. She held the wine glass and kept swirling it while wearing slippers.

Originally, Christina was prepared to sleep. She lifted the blanket and got into bed. Before she could

warm up, Joseph said that he would sign the contract at night.

As soon as she came up, he found an expensive bottle of red wine and two wine glasses on the table.

It was obvious that they had been prepared in advance. Christina automatically thought it was to

celebrate.

Joseph was wearing navy blue pajamas and holding a glass of red wine in his hand. He took a sip and

asked, “How does it taste?”

“It’s not bad. After all, the price is there.” At this moment, Christina was not wearing any makeup. It was

the first time Joseph saw Christina without makeup.

He had seen photos during the investigation, but he had never seen her without makeup in person.

Christina was also wearing pajamas. Before coming, she had planned to change her clothes. Joseph

said that he was also wearing pajamas, so she had no intention of changing. She directly came to sign

the contract in pajamas and slippers. It was a different way of signing the contract. Both parties were

wearing pajamas and slippers. It was really strange. Christina ignored the red pajamas she was

wearing and raised her glass graciously. “Pleasure doing business with you.” The sound of glasses

clinking rang out in the silent sunroom. It was exceptionally crisp, like the sound of wind chimes

colliding. Joseph smiled and drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp.

Christina’s alcohol tolerance was not bad. Seeing that he was so forthright, she naturally drank it in one

gulp. After drinking, she even raised his glass to indicate that the glass was empty. Joseph smiled

again.

He picked up the bottle and poured half a glass of wine for Christina. He poured two-thirds worth in his

wine glass for himself.

After drinking a few glasses, perhaps because she was slightly drunk, Christina no longer paid

attention to her image. She bent her legs and raised them to the stool, hugging her knees with one

hand.

Joseph didn’t mind the real Christina. Instead, he smiled indulgently.

Christina picked up the glass and took a sip of wine. She gently put it down and asked, “Joseph, how

many people have your face charmed?”

“Does it work on you?”

Christina nodded. Her cheeks were slightly red as if she had applied rouge. “It’s definitely a lie to say

no.” She rested her chin on her hand. “If I say no, you’ll definitely say that I don’t have good taste.”

“No, you’ve always had good taste. You can’t drink anymore after this glass.” It was best to be slightly

drunk. It was not good to be drunk.

“Tsk. Joseph, you did it on purpose, didn’t you? Do you have the intention of getting me drunk? Or are

you being stingy after letting me sample this expensive wine? You have to take it back after letting me

drink halfway,” Christina complained to Joseph as she pointed at the bottle.

He could clearly feel that the woman was a little drunk. According to his investigation, her alcohol

tolerance was not bad. Why was she a little drunk after just a few glasses of wine? However, this was

still very cute compared to the usual Christina. It was especially real and relaxed. “If you like it, I’ll give

you a bottle tomorrow. If you drink too much at night, you’ll have a headache tomorrow.”

Christina was a little drunk. She looked at him with a burning gaze. Her gaze was straightforward. She

put her leg down and rested her chin on her hand. “Joseph, you’re indeed good-looking. You’ve

gathered all your parents’ strengths. Your sister is also good-looking. Frank, this guy has good taste.

His taste is really sharp. I seem to have fallen for you. Will you always be so understanding?”

Joseph got up and stood in front of Christina. Without a word, he picked up Christina, who was already

a little drunk. He held the signed contract in his hand and her slippers fell. Christina clung onto

Joseph’s neck. Looking at his sharp chin, she could not help but reach out and touch it. “If this face was

in ancient times, it would be so hot.”

Joseph did not speak or stop her. Christina did whatever she wanted. Ethan opened the door of the

sunroom and lowered his head, pretending not to see anything.

Benjamin, who was beside him, was different. He looked at the background of Joseph hugging

Christina and his jaw dropped in surprise. He snapped a picture. “Oh my god, why do I feel that the

boss is a little immoral?”

Ethan said, “Send me the photo.”

Benjamin covered the phone. This was dirt. Dirt that no one else could see. “Why should I?”

Ethan stood there without saying a word, but it was a blatant threat. In the end, under this threat,

Benjamin forwarded the photo he had just taken to Ethan.

The despicable Ethan was actually not satisfied and deleted the photo from his phone entirely. In fact,

Ethan had his own considerations. The structure of this child’s brain was relatively simple. If his phone

fell into someone else’s hands, it would be troublesome.

Benjamin was cursing at Ethan all the way downstairs. He kept asking why he wanted his photo.

Meanwhile, Ethan acted as if he was deaf and did not react to Benjamin’s chatter.
