Chapter 557
Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
Chapter 557 Edward thought so in his heart, but he still listened to Roseâs 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 Roseâs 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, âDonât be nervous. If youâre really nervous, think of me as your mother and start imagining.â
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.
âHalf or all?â 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. She said generously, âAll of it. What if the baby overslept, right? If you want to help twice, thatâs fine too. Itâs up to you.â
Edward didnât 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 couldnât really treat her husband as her son.
A few minutes later... Edward stood up and helped Rose straighten her clothes.
Rose suddenly grabbed Edwardâs 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.
Edwardâs stomach was a little full. Rose tilted her head and asked, âSo, is it anything like your childhood memories?â
12:38 Edward stared silently at her. âIs there really a need to talk about how I feel?â he thought.
âYes. Rose, you sleep first. Iâm going to take a shower.â
âYou canât be...â Rose burst into laughter.
Rose glanced down and smiled. Edward pinched her chin and gritted his teeth. He threatened her with a weak threat, âRose. You have to pay back everything in two months. Hurry up and sleep.â
Rose was not afraid. âSure. You can have as much as you want. Iâll accompany you. If you want to do it seven days a week, thatâs fine too. I donât mind.â
Edward rubbed Roseâs face dotingly. âI was just joking with you. Hurry up and lie down. Iâll be back soon.â
âHow can I bear to torture her like that? My heart will ache for her,â 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.
âSherriâs personality is quite similar to Roseâs. Sheâs very vivacious and easygoing. Do you usually have another chat group?â
âYes. We have another one called Fairy Fortress. Iâm the one who created the group,â Ava said truthfully.
Christina nodded. âThen, she must have seen the wrong chat group and sent it to this.â
With Christinaâs 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. âI think so too. Still, I find Sherriâs incident incredulously funny.â
âThe 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. Itâs the same for Rose.â
Christina used reason to analyze Sherriâs 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.
12:38 Joseph nodded. âChristina is right. Youâre not planning to sleep yet?â
âIâm going to sleep. Iâm here to see you, Christina. Iâm going to sleep now. Good night, Christina.â
Ava stood up and prepared to leave the study. She waved her hand, just as Josephâs instructions came from behind. âSleep early tonight. Donât talk to Frank too late. Itâs not good to always be sleeping late.â
âOkay.â Ava made an OK gesture playfully and helped to close the door with a smile.
Ava quietly went back and shared Sherriâs incident with Frank. She hid Roseâs matter so that Rose wouldnât 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. âLetâs go to sleep. You canât accompany me like this tomorrow night.â âCompared to being alone in the room, I quite like watching you work. You donât allow me to work overtime either. I might as well admire a handsome man.â
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 Christinaâs sharp chin with his index finger and said playfully, âAre you saying you miss me?â
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. âMr. Turner, Iâm afraid youâre taking this the wrong way. Iâm very innocent. Iâm just praising you.â
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. âThatâs what I thought.â
Then, he leaned over and captured Christinaâs beautiful lips with his. He released her almost as quickly. He did not plan to take a second shower 376 12:581 tonight. âItâs quite late. Go to bed. Do you want to go to the office tomorrow?â
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. âYouâve reduced my workload by half. Iâll finish my work in half a day when I go to the company. Iâll sleep in your lounge for the entire afternoon. If this continues, Iâll end up not doing anything in the company. I wonât be better than Stella. Why donât you give me more work?â
âAre you bored?â
âCan I say a little? Iâve never been so free before.â 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. âSure, Iâll bring you to watch a show tomorrow to add some fun to your life.â
Christina stopped in her tracks. She did not understand what he was trying to do. âWhat do you mean? What are you up to?â
Joseph knew that Christina was curious. âCompared to the expenses of the previous year, this yearâs has increased by several points.â
âYou suspect that someone is responsible?â Christina understood Josephâs 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. âEverything is based on evidence.â
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 476 12:38 D table.
However, Joseph did not arrange it this way.
Quinn, who was also Josephâs secretary, summoned all the higher-ups of the company early in the morning to the Turner Corporationâs largest meeting room.
The higher-ups of every department sat in the meeting room. Everyone was confused. One of them asked boldly, âMr. Turner, is there something important to discuss? Is that why this meeting is in such a hurry?â
Joseph remained very calm. He sat in the center seat with his legs crossed and ignored everyoneâs whispers. Quinn sat on the left and Christina sat on the right. They did not speak.
Joseph did not answer the personâs 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, Josephâs smile became even more terrifying. He parted his thin lips slightly and said, âDonât be nervous. Todayâs meeting is very simple. Itâs mainly so you can learn. Last year, the various departments have been working quite hard, especially the finance department. In order to empathize with everyoneâs 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.â
With that being said, a few people were already wiping their sweat. So those people were there to check the accounts.
Someone pointed out, âMr. Turner, itâs not good to let others check our companyâs accounts like this. After all, itâs confidential. What if it gets. leaked?â
Josephâs cold gaze turned to the few people in uniform. âWould such a situation happen?â
Those in uniform shook their heads. âNo. We signed a contract when we came here.â
576 12:38 D Christinaâs mind was spinning quickly. She felt that something was wrong. The person who asked the question was right. The accounts were very confidential. With Josephâs personality, he would not let anyone interfere in the companyâs matters unless...
Joseph raised his hand to look at his wristwatch and ordered, âItâs about time. Letâs start. We donât want to delay Ms. Yaminâs lunch time.â

Christina gave a certain man a âwhat are you doingâ expression. âWhat is he thinking of when he acts affectionately in such a serious atmosphere?â
she wondered. The man smiled faintly as though he did not care about what happened next.
