Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 557

Chapter 557

Edward thought so in his heart, but he still listened to Rose’s suggestion. He tugged at his pajama

pants and sat down on the edge of the bed.

He thought about how to position himself, placing his hands on Rose’s shoulders, and began to get

ready. He felt that something was odd about this. It was as if he was snatching food from his son.

Rose was anxious when she saw Edward dawdling. She impatiently cooperated and unbuttoned her

pajama top. She urged him again, “Don’t be nervous. If you’re really nervous, think of me as your

mother and start imagining.”

Edward was mute. He might as well not imagine anything at all. It was just that the current atmosphere

was not right. After all, he had done this before.

“Half or all?” Edward had already bent down and fixed his gaze on the two mounds in front of him.

Rose thought about it. She did not know when the child would wake up. She could not let Edward do it

twice in one night. She still had to buy a breast pump tomorrow.

She was too careless. She did not expect herself to be as productive as a cow. It was really impressive. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

She said generously, “All of it. What if the baby overslept, right? If you want to help twice, that’s fine

too. It’s up to you.”

Edward didn’t know how to talk to Rose on this topic. He chose not to answer. The only thing he could

do was show her if it was all or half.

Rose looked at Edward foolishly. She placed her hands on his shoulders. and grabbed his pajamas.

She was quite touched, but she was still sure and determined to buy a breast pump tomorrow. She

couldn’t really treat her husband as her son.

A few minutes later… Edward stood up and helped Rose straighten her clothes.

Rose suddenly grabbed Edward’s collar and quickly leaned in to kiss him. She smiled as if nothing had

happened. She put down her top. She felt relaxed and refreshed.

Edward’s stomach was a little full. Rose tilted her head and asked, “So, is it anything like your

childhood memories?”

Edward stared silently at her. “Is there really a need to talk about how I feel?” he thought.

“Yes. Rose, you sleep first. I’m going to take a shower.”

“You can’t be…” Rose burst into laughter.

Rose glanced down and smiled. Edward pinched her chin and gritted his teeth. He threatened her with

a weak threat, “Rose. You have to pay back everything in two months. Hurry up and sleep.”

Rose was not afraid. “Sure. You can have as much as you want. I’ll

accompany you. If you want to do it seven days a week, that’s fine too. I don’t mind.”

Edward rubbed Rose’s face dotingly. “I was just joking with you. Hurry up and lie down. I’ll be back

soon.”

“How can I bear to torture her like that? My heart will ache for her,” he thought dotingly.

In Sapphire City, Ava, Christina, and Joseph were talking about what happened just now. Christina held

her stomach and laughed until her stomach hurt.

“Sherri’s personality is quite similar to Rose’s. She’s very vivacious and easygoing. Do you usually

have another chat group?”

“Yes. We have another one called Fairy Fortress. I’m the one who created the group,” Ava said

truthfully.

Christina nodded. “Then, she must have seen the wrong chat group and sent it to this.”

With Christina’s intelligence, she could guess what had happened at once. After all, the group had

been around for so long and there had never been such a lively topic. Today was the first time.

Ava thought so as well. “I think so too. Still, I find Sherri’s incident incredulously funny.”

“The best way to comfort a sad person is to use something that is even sadder than hers to ease her

sadness. This is a psychological tactic. The sad person will sympathize with you and comfort you.

Then, they will forget about their sadness. It’s the same for Rose.”

Christina used reason to analyze Sherri’s actions that night. Through this incident, she also understood

how close their relationship was. To be able to share such an awkward matter and comfort each other,

Sherri had thrown caution to the wind and was willing to make a fool of herself.

Joseph nodded. “Christina is right. You’re not planning to sleep yet?”

“I’m going to sleep. I’m here to see you, Christina. I’m going to sleep now. Good night, Christina.”

Ava stood up and prepared to leave the study. She waved her hand, just as Joseph’s instructions came

from behind. “Sleep early tonight. Don’t talk to Frank too late. It’s not good to always be sleeping late.”

“Okay.” Ava made an OK gesture playfully and helped to close the door with a smile.

Ava quietly went back and shared Sherri’s incident with Frank. She hid Rose’s matter so that Rose

wouldn’t be criticized by Frank. Especially when Rose was already very embarrassed over it.

After Ava left, Christina was left with Joseph in the study. On the white wall, the clock declared that it

was eleven fifteen. The secondhand ticked away industriously.

Joseph put down his work, clicked the mouse to turn off the page he was working on, and switched off

the computer. He glanced at the clock. “Let’s go to sleep. You can’t accompany me like this tomorrow

night.” “Compared to being alone in the room, I quite like watching you work. You don’t allow me to

work overtime either. I might as well admire a handsome man.”

Christina said these flirtatious words easily. When there was no one around, the two of them interacted

like this.

Christina was sitting down and Joseph was standing. He stood beside her and raised the hand that had

the watch around the wrist. He raised Christina’s sharp chin with his index finger and said playfully,

“Are you saying you miss me?”

Christina looked up at the man who was looking down at her from above. He was really handsome,

desirable, and domineering. No wonder she chose to get married in a flash. “Mr. Turner, I’m afraid

you’re taking this the wrong way. I’m very innocent. I’m just praising you.”

Then, she patted her stomach. Her meaning was very clear. She could not think about that.

Joseph smiled. His smile was beautiful and charming. His voice was pleasant when he spoke. “That’s

what I thought.”

Then, he leaned over and captured Christina’s beautiful lips with his. He released her almost as

quickly. He did not plan to take a second shower

tonight. “It’s quite late. Go to bed. Do you want to go to the office tomorrow?”

The conversation topic changed very quickly. It was as if the flirting just now was imaginary.

Christina held his arm and walked out of the room. She leaned against him closely. “You’ve reduced my

workload by half. I’ll finish my work in half a day when I go to the company. I’ll sleep in your lounge for

the entire afternoon. If this continues, I’ll end up not doing anything in the company. I won’t be better

than Stella. Why don’t you give me more work?”

“Are you bored?”

“Can I say a little? I’ve never been so free before.” Christina, who had always been busy, was suddenly

so free and she was really not used to it. She could not understand why her sister liked to live a life like

this so much.

In any case, a carefree and plain life was really not suitable for Christina. She felt flustered and did not

feel fulfilled.

Joseph knew that she was not used to it, so he followed her wishes. However, he still knew how to

control the quantity. “Sure, I’ll bring you to watch a show tomorrow to add some fun to your life.”

Christina stopped in her tracks. She did not understand what he was trying to do. “What do you mean?

What are you up to?”

Joseph knew that Christina was curious. “Compared to the expenses of the previous year, this year’s

has increased by several points.”

“You suspect that someone is responsible?” Christina understood Joseph’s words in a second.

It was as if there was no problem with the Turner Corporation at all. He spoke lightly as if everything

was under control. “Everything is based on evidence.”

Christina thought that the man in front of her must have set another trap. She gradually realized that

Joseph liked to set traps for other people. The last thing anyone could tolerate in a company was

people who were up to no good.

The next morning, Christina followed Joseph to the company to check the accounts. Christina initially

thought that the check would be done secretly. When the evidence was conclusive, he would place it

on the

table.

However, Joseph did not arrange it this way.

Quinn, who was also Joseph’s secretary, summoned all the higher-ups of the company early in the

morning to the Turner Corporation’s largest meeting room.

The higher-ups of every department sat in the meeting room. Everyone was confused. One of them

asked boldly, “Mr. Turner, is there something important to discuss? Is that why this meeting is in such a

hurry?”

Joseph remained very calm. He sat in the center seat with his legs crossed and ignored everyone’s

whispers. Quinn sat on the left and Christina sat on the right. They did not speak.

Joseph did not answer the person’s question. He was too lazy to answer. After a while, Pat and Ethan

came in with a pile of reports. Behind them were several people wearing the same clothes.

The atmosphere instantly became serious.

The ostentation was a little intimidating. Ethan and Pat crossed their hands in front of them and stood

respectfully at the door. They appeared a little scary.

Looking at the few people sitting around the table, Joseph’s smile became even more terrifying. He

parted his thin lips slightly and said, “Don’t be nervous. Today’s meeting is very simple. It’s mainly so

you can learn. Last year, the various departments have been working quite hard, especially the finance

department. In order to empathize with everyone’s hard work, I invited the most famous accounting firm

in Sapphire City to help us sort out the accounts. Everyone can see why they have the title of being the

best. At the same time, you can learn from them. I happen to have time today to broaden my horizons

with you.”

With that being said, a few people were already wiping their sweat. So those people were there to

check the accounts.

Someone pointed out, “Mr. Turner, it’s not good to let others check our company’s accounts like this.

After all, it’s confidential. What if it gets. leaked?”

Joseph’s cold gaze turned to the few people in uniform. “Would such a situation happen?”

Those in uniform shook their heads. “No. We signed a contract when we came here.”

Christina’s mind was spinning quickly. She felt that something was

wrong. The person who asked the question was right. The accounts were very confidential. With

Joseph’s personality, he would not let anyone interfere in the company’s matters unless…

Joseph raised his hand to look at his wristwatch and ordered, “It’s about time. Let’s start. We don’t want

to delay Ms. Yamin’s lunch time.”

There was silence in the room.

Christina gave a certain man a ‘what are you doing’ expression. “What is he thinking of when he acts

affectionately in such a serious atmosphere?” she wondered. The man smiled faintly as though he did

not care about what happened next.
