Chapter 549
Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
Chapter 549 The dining table was rectangular, with the Turner parents sitting on one side with Ava, and Christina and Joseph sitting on the other side.
Ava could not wait to share the news that Rose had given birth to a cute baby with her brother. She held a fork in her hand but did not pick up any food with it. The food on the table was not as interesting as this. The corners of her mouth curled up as she said with a smile, âJoseph, I have great news for you.â
Joseph, who had taken off his jacket, was only wearing a white formal shirt. He looked up at his sister with a smile and immediately said, âAre you graduating early?â
âHow is that possible? Iâm already at my limit after reducing the time to a year and a half. The earliest I can do is June next year. This is only the best result.â Ava looked a little helpless as she said this.
Regarding what Ava said, everyone at the dining table knew that this girl was indeed working very hard to compress the time. She did not want Frank to wait too long. She even studied until midnight at night.
Ever since Ava chose a minor, this girl stopped watching television dramas. When she woke up on the weekends, she would hold a book and nibble on it on the balcony. Christina also admired the progress Ava was making.
Christina had fantasized a few times that if only her own lazy sister could be so motivated, she would be very pleased. Christina didnât want her sister to think about returning to the front desk every day. Stella was always complaining about how tired she was that day. She would ask every day if she could withdraw from the limelight or if she could retire early.
Every time Stella complained to Christina about this series of questions, Stella would be reprimanded by Christina.
Even so, if Stella was tired in a few days, she would still complain to Christina, and Christina would still educate her the same way.
Ava continued to share the news. âAlright, alright. You definitely wonât be able to guess. Your brain isnât very good now. Rose just gave birth early this morning. She gave birth to a little boy. Heâs very cute and weighs six pounds.â
After saying that, Ava was afraid that her brother wouldnât understand what six pounds meant. Her pretty and slender fingers made a six in the air and waved it in front of Joseph, and then in front of Danielâs eyes.
Hearing this, Joseph paused what he was doing. When his parents were around, Christina and Joseph did not flirt so much. They spoke more appropriately.
A few seconds later, Joseph naturally placed the food in his bowl and took a bite. He looked up at the elder Turner couple and said, âDad, Mom, when do you plan to go to Athana?â
Emma didnât eat much, so she ate very little at night. She put down her bowl and fork. âI was just about to ask you. If Christina isnât feeling unwell, we can go to Athana.â
Christina stopped eating and replied, âMom, Iâm really fine. Donât worry and go to Athana with Dad. If you go to Athana tomorrow, Iâll go to work with Joseph. With him watching over me, you can rest assured.â
Ava raised one hand in the air and recommended herself. âMe too. I can go straight to the company after class tomorrow and take care of Christina when Joseph is busy. I promise to complete the mission.â Daniel nodded. His daughter and daughter-in-law were very sensible and he was gratified by it. David immediately decided, âAlright, then weâll go tomorrow and come back tomorrow. We have to go. After all, itâs Rose who just gave birth.
Emma, what kind of gifts should we prepare?â
âGifts?â Emma wondered. Emma was also stumped by this question. When her daughter told her this in the afternoon, she thought for a long time but couldnât think of anything. It was originally very simple, but because of the relationship between Rose and Grace, Emma did not intend to buy anything heartwarming. She wanted to leave the opportunity to Grace.
They couldnât be stingy with the gifts, nor should they snatch Graceâs opportunity. They also had to be practical. This was really a little difficult.
Emma raised her hand and scooped a bowl of soup for her daughter. She placed it in front of Ava and said softly, âI havenât thought of anything yet.
Leave the bracelet and anklet for Grace to buy.â Christina roughly knew a little about the inside story between Rose and Grace. Christina seemed to understand why her mother-in-law did not buy these things, so she helped Emma think of ideas. In an instant, the entire family fell into deep thought.
They were all thinking about what to give as presents. This was a problem that hurt their brain cells.
âI got it!â
Just as everyone did not know what to give, Ava acted like she was in class and raised her hand to answer the question.
Joseph raised his chin at his sister and put some food into Christinaâs plate. âGo on, tell us.â
Ava felt that her idea was not bad and began to say, âDoesnât Rose like those special blankets, pillows, and some sleeping bags and sofas? Then letâs go to the mall to buy some things, such as little sandwich blankets, as well as dolls that the baby can sleep with. Then weâll just give them some money as a gesture of goodwill. What do you guys think?â
After saying that, Ava looked at the entire family expectantly, looking from one to the other.
Christina felt that it was a good idea. Gifts given to one of their own people did not have to be the most expensive. The best kind was something practical, suitable, and liked by the receiver. âI think Avaâs method is quite good.â It was meaningful.
âAlright, letâs go take a look after we finish eating. Christina, you donât have to go. Joseph, stay at home with Christina. Iâll go with Ava and buy another gold piece.â
Emma assigned tasks to each member of the family. The dolls could be considered given by Ava, which would make Rose happy.
Indeed, shopping was a little inappropriate for the current Christina. Her legs would ache easily. âYes, okay.â
At the Sapphire City Mall, the mother-daughter pair went to a special doll shop hand in hand. The shelves were filled with a dazzling array of dolls.
Some were scary. Some were cute.
When Emma went out, she changed into a plain gown and a long white knitted sweater. Emma looked at the various dolls and was dazzled by the selection. In the end, she could only give this task to her daughter. âAva, come and see which ones Rose likes.â
Combining the attributes of the dolls in Roseâs room, Ava began to choose, walking down aisle by aisle. Half an hour later, the bodyguard already had a lot of shopping bags in his hands. There were eight dolls alone, as well as a mini sandwich quilt, a hamburger pillow, and so on.
In the end, Emma still went to the gold shop to choose a top-quality charm bracelet, that was supposed to give the wearer good luck.
After dinner, Daniel went to the study alone. Joseph brought Christina back to their room. After a busy day, Joseph quickly took a shower in the bathroom.
The room was air-conditioned. Joseph came out with a simple white towel wrapped around his lower body. His upper body was exposed to the air, and water dripped from his firm chest into the towel. His sexy V-line and neatly arranged abdominal muscles made Christina, who was sitting on the edge of the bed replying to messages, mischievous. She threw down her phone and slowly walked over with a smile on her lips. âMr. Turner, you are so sexy and hot. What do you think youâre doing? Huh?â
The last word was dragged out, making Josephâs heart tremble. He casually threw the towel in his hand to the side and wrapped his arms around her waist. He lowered his gaze and warned, âThen Ms. Yamin, are you planning to tempt me to take a shower again?
âThereâs another way to conserve water. Do you want to try it, Ms. Yamin?â
Joseph enunciated each word clearly. The meaning behind it was easy for others to understand.
However, Christina was not afraid of this warning. She had a guardian angel so she smiled charmingly. Her nails which were no longer painted red ran down the mermaid line. âThat depends on your will.â
In the next second, Joseph grabbed Christinaâs chin and raised it to shut up this seductive and unyielding mouth. Everything was within Christinaâs expectations. Joseph could not withstand her direct teasing. The temperature between her lips kept rising, making a sizzling sound as their lips collided. Joseph carefully wrapped his arms around Christinaâs waist and pressed Christinaâs center of gravity on him. Christina wrapped her arms around his neck, lowering it. The temperature was getting higher and higher, higher and higher, on the verge of losing control.
There were several knocks. The continuous knocking on the door interrupted the interaction in the room. Christina stepped back and raised her hand to touch her lips which still had signs of Josephâs love. She pursed her lips and her ears turned red. âPut on your clothes.â
Joseph stared at the shy woman and smiled. He let go of her reluctantly and touched Christinaâs hair. The heat gradually dissipated and Joseph turned around to put on his clothes in the cloakroom.
Christina went to open the door. Outside was a smiling Ava. âChristina, we bought a lot of fun things. Mommy also bought some things for you. Go take a look.â
âAlright, letâs go down first. Your brother is putting on his clothes.â Christina was wearing conservative pajamas with a cardigan on the outside. She was carefully helped downstairs by Ava.
When they arrived downstairs, Emma had already placed the pajamas, pillows, socks, and so on on the coffee table. âChristina, come and see if thereâs anything you like?â
Ava was like a commentator. She stood at the side and explained how every product was bought, and what material it was made of. She spoke in great detail. Christinaâs heart was filled with warmth. She had already made up her mind to have her mother watch less nonsensical television dramas in the future.
In TV series, the mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law were always at odds with each other. It gradually traumatized Christina to the point she was afraid of marriage.
Perhaps it was because she was such a good person in her previous life that she was blessed to meet such a husband, such in-laws, and such a cute sister-in-law.
âI quite like it, Mom. Thank you, Mom. Iâll go shopping with you after I give birth.â
Emma said, âSure. If you like it, Iâll get the maid to wash all these. You can change outfits as you wish.â
âWill do.â
As they spoke, Joseph had already come downstairs in his gray pajamas. His slender legs made people take a few more glances at him. Joseph glanced at the shopping bags all over the ground and asked, âDid you buy so many?â

ï¤Chatper 548 Ava said, âThatâs right. Since weâre out, we might as well buy more. Look at this doll. Itâs cute. Christina, see if thereâs anything you like. If you like it, hug it when you sleep.â
Joseph glanced at Christina and their eyes met. Christina understood what Joseph meant. It meant that she could take the things, but she had to hug him to sleep. This man had always been so domineering in this aspect.
However, the strange thing was that she, who had always been principled, could not keep her principles at all in front of Joseph. She liked to indulge his domineeringness.
Christinaâs face was calm as she said normally, âAlright, give me this rabbit.â
âChristina, you have good taste. Look, Mom, I told you this looked good.â
Ava was extremely satisfied with her choice. She took out her phone and took a photo before sending it to Frank. Her Frank should be awake at this time.
Then, Amelia put away her phone. Just as she put it away, it rang. It was a message from Frank. [Baby Ava, what are you doing?]
The corners of Avaâs mouth curled up. The entire family knew that she was chatting with Frank, so they did not disturb her. They tacitly began to organize their things. Emma asked Joseph to bring down the suitcase from her room.
Emma planned to pack and compress all the dolls on the ground and put them inside. Otherwise, it would be difficult to carry them. Joseph went to help her. Christina did not stay idle either. She sat down and helped.
Ava replied, [Mom and I just came back from the mall. We went to buy gifts for Rose. Did you see the photos? These are all for Rose. I chose them.]
The little girl wanted to be credited for her work.
Frank replied, [They look good.]
After the three simple words, Frank continued to send another message. [Are you coming tomorrow?] Ava sent a crying emoji and a regretful sigh emoji. [I have a class. Boohoo.]
