Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 527

Joseph lay in bed in his pajamas. He tossed and turned back and forth but just couldn’t fall asleep. He

had no one to hold in his arms, and he could not fall asleep no matter what he did. He decided to follow

the most honest thoughts in his heart.

The door to his room was not closed. He lifted the blanket and got out of bed. He walked straight to the

door of the guest room, pushed open the door, and entered. He naturally lifted the blanket and got into

bed.

Christina was in that bed, and Joseph held her tightly in his arms. The empty feeling in his chest was

instantly filled. Christina could not sleep either. Her mind was filled with images of Joseph, playing like

a slide show.

She had just fallen into a light sleep.

The hug she felt behind her woke her up. Her eyes were slightly puffy, and she wouldn’t turn around. A

familiar and pleasant voice came from behind her. “If you’re unhappy, why didn’t you say so? I feel bad

knowing you’re holding it in. Christina, I can’t sleep without hugging you.”

At this moment, Joseph looked like an unhappy child. Christina really wanted to ask who was more

aggrieved in this situation. She felt like she had been cheated on.

Joseph hugged Christina from behind very tightly. He did not ever want to lose her after being together

with her. He pressed his chin against her back and kissed her through her pajamas. His warm breath

hit her ear. “I’m sorry I didn’t give you an explanation immediately. Why didn’t you tell me that you saw

the message?”

Christina didn’t say anything. Joseph didn’t feel anxious. He just kissed her back occasionally. “That

message was from the daughter of my father’s good friend. She’s also a secretary at my company.

She’s six years older than me and divorced.”

Six years older and divorced. Those two points made the silent Christina slowly turn around and face

Joseph. Joseph saw her turn around. He did not intend to let the misunderstanding last overnight. He

did not want this misunderstanding to stay between him and Christina in the future.

Some misunderstandings could not be resolved. Some misunderstandings could be accumulated over

time and could weaken the feelings between a couple, or add passion to it and spice up the romance,

However, the only thing that a couple could not allow was to let misunderstandings accumulate

overnight.

Perhaps this was Emma’s influence, ever since Joseph was young, he had never seen his parents

argue. Even when they had different opinions, they would sit down and calmly discuss them. Unlike

many families, they would not argue over a point of view, otherwise, it would be too hurtful.

Gradually, Joseph felt that marriage should be like this. Whether it’s arguments or misunderstandings,

when they happen too often, they can affect the relationship. He didn’t want to be constantly in a state

of explanation, which was like always trying to unravel a tangled ball of yarn, forever searching for that

loose end to straighten things out.

Christina’s eyes were still red. She asked gloomily, “Is she not your girlfriend?” she wouldn’t have

suspected anything if the message wasn’t flirty.

He lowered his head and kissed her slightly red eyes. He knew that she was sad and made up his mind

not to let this happen again. He felt his heart ache and scratched her nose. “You are my fiancée. How

could I have another girlfriend besides you? Christina, you think too highly of me.”

Christina’s eyes were still probing, she seemed that she had more questions. Before Christina could

ask, Joseph began to explain, “She’s the daughter of my father’s friend. Her ex-husband is also the son

of a wealthy family in Sapphire City. They had been married for a few years and didn’t have any

children. Her mother-in-law said she was infertile and forced her to get a divorce. Perhaps because she

had experienced being in a marriage with a wealthy family, she hadn’t thought about getting married

again. She lives alone and is rather spontaneous in her speech.

“We’ve known her since we were young. We often hang out together when our two families have dinner

together. Ava also knows her. We treat her as our older sister.”

Joseph explained everything. Christina asked, “Then why is she working in your company?”

Joseph noticed she was no longer angry and hugged her waist tightly. “She started working at the

Turner Corporation after graduating from university…”

He patiently told Christina everything about this woman. He said that this woman had worked in the

Turner Corporation since she graduated from university. She went from being an intern to becoming a

secretary. Then she was promoted to become a secretary and a manager at the same time. Joseph

was most at ease with her being a secretary, so he let her keep the job and didn’t replace her with

anyone else.

Joseph also told Christina that this woman’s name was Quinn Price. Everyone in the office called her

Miss Quinn. This woman was quite straightforward. When her mother-in-law said she was infertile, she

left their family without saying a word or taking anything.

Christina couldn’t help but admire Quinn’s boldness after hearing what Joseph said. She also realized ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

her mistake. “I’m

sorry.

“No, I need to apologize. I didn’t share my interpersonal relationships with you. Can you forgive me for

this first mistake that’s caused tension between us? This is the first time I’ve ever dated someone.”

Christina’s assumption clearly caused the tension, but Joseph was the one apologizing to her instead.

“Joseph, I was wrong this time. I don’t just like you. I have fallen in love with you. When I saw the

message, I was very flustered. I’ve never been so flustered even when discussing the hardest deal of

business before.”

Christina did not hide her feelings.

Hearing this, Joseph smiled. He did not know if he should thank this message for making Christina

realize this. “I was waiting for you to say this. If you ever feel wronged in the future, please express it to

me. Holding it in is unlike your character, Ms. Yamin.”

“Okay then, Mr. Turner, if I say I’m now…” The last few words Christina said were cut off as she pulled

Joseph down and said close to his ear. After speaking, Christina kissed his ear and circled it with her

tongue.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Joseph held his breath and looked at Christina in his arms with

a deep gaze. He smiled and leaned forward to press Christina under him. “I am waiting for this.”

The table lamp in the room was turned off. Under the blanket, the two tried to tell each other how much

they loved each other, how much they cared about each other, and how afraid they were of losing each

other…

Early the next morning.

Joseph stood Quinn up. Just as Quinn thought Joseph would bring Christina to meet her today, he had

already embarked on the journey back to Athana with Christina.

After last night’s incident, Joseph decided to settle his marriage with Christina as soon as possible to

prevent anyone from seeking out problems again.

The sky was blue, and the clouds were white. It was a beautiful day with perfect scenery.

A few hours later.

A group of people descended from the plane. This time, in addition to Ethan White, Benjamin Harris

also came. Initially, Ethan was unwilling to bring Benjamin along, but this boy was quite clever. He

simply called Christina and played cute with

her.

Helplessly, Christina agreed, and Joseph couldn’t say anything about it. He only mentioned how clever

Benjamin was.

After getting off the plane, Benjamin looked around in amazement. He was like a country bumpkin

entering the city. He didn’t even know what to focus on. “Oh my god, this place is amazing. Not bad at

all. Mr. Turner, you have great taste.”

Standing behind him, Ethan hit the back of Benjamin’s head. He couldn’t help but give Benjamin a

stern warning, afraid his words would implicate him. “Take the suitcase and close your mouth.”

Benjamin was holding the luggage, but he still could not close his mouth. He continued to say, “Ms.

Yamin, your city is so beautiful. There are many rich people here, right? The mountains and the rivers

must be a sight to see, and I’m sure the people are friendly.”

Joseph was in a good mood today. He ignored Benjamin and walked forward with his arm around

Christina’s waist. There were a total of eight suitcases. Three were Christina’s, and two had the clothes

Joseph had organized for Christína, including custom-made earrings. He realized that Christina liked

studs very much.

One of the suitcases was Joseph’s, which only contained clothes. The other two were gifts for the

Yamin family. Inside them were products from his company. The products were massaging devices for

Mr. Yamin and Mrs. Yamin.

A group of people were pushing suitcases behind Joseph and Christina. The two walked in front

wearing sunglasses and looked like big shots. The passers-by could not help but turn around to look.

Benjamin had already found a way to let himself enjoy. “Ms. Yamin, can I ask Ethan to take me for a

ride tonight? I’ve been living in Sapphire City my whole time. This is my first time going abroad.”

Benjamin said it pitifully.

Benjamin completely ignored Joseph and boldly went to ask Christina for permission.

“Judging from Mr. Turner’s words, I can’t make decisions for you right now, right, Joseph?” Christina

curled her lips, finding the situation quite funny.

Benjamin had no response. It was over for him if Christina couldn’t help. Wasn’t Christina in charge?

How could Joseph not know what Benjamin was feeling? Joseph was in a good mood and relented.

“Ethan can take you with

him.”

Ethan refused. He didn’t want to take a child out with him. He shifted the responsibility to Pat. “I don’t

know my way around Athana. Let Pat take you. He knows better.”

Benjamin put both suitcases in one hand and put his other arm around Ethan’s shoulder. “You two can

take me together.

Ethan said expressionlessly, “I have to protect Mr. Turner.”

Joseph lowered his head and asked Christina, “Am I going to stay at the Roberts family tonight? We

should come up with a plan now so I can let them know in advance.”

It turned out that the decision was still Christina’s to make. “Let’s see if my father wants you to stay with

us tonight or not.”

“Okay, Ms. Yamin.”

They arrived at the parking lot.

Christina’s red car came into view. Joseph took the suitcases in Ethan’s hands and placed them in the

trunk and the back seats. Joseph opened the door and sat in the passenger’s seat.

Everyone was stunned. What was going on?

Christina opened the door of the driver’s seat and got into the car. After the door closed with a bang,

the others were startled back to their senses, especially Benjamin. He looked at the back of the car that

was driving away. “Where are we going? Why is Christina driving and Mr. Turner sitting in the

passenger seat?”

Wouldn’t Mr. Turner usually be the one driving and Christina the one to sit in the passenger seat?

Ethan did not want to respond to this chatterbox. He was too tired. He called a few taxis and stuffed the

remaining suitcases in. He told the drivers, “Follow the red car in front of us.”

Soon, the car arrived at the Yamin family. The drivers behind Christina were a little tired because

Christina was very good at driving and almost lost them.

Joseph did not feel that it was inappropriate to sit in the passenger seat at all. He opened the door and

got out of the car. He instructed Ethan and the others, “Take the luggage out and then go to the

Roberts family. Tell Frank to arrange accommodation for Benjamin and get someone to watch him. I

don’t want to have the police looking for him in Athana.”

Ethan said respectfully, “Yes, Mr. Turner. I will let Mr. Roberts know.”

The eight suitcases were all unloaded from the cars. Joseph’s intention was clear. Christina saw

through it but did not say anything. She just smiled faintly. Joseph was being quite obvious with his

thoughts. Someone probably noticed the commotion outside and hurriedly came out.

When Angie saw a pile of luggage, she was extremely surprised. Then, she looked at her handsome

future son-in-law standing in the courtyard and said excitedly, “Oh my goodness, Joseph, come in. Why

didn’t you tell me you were bringing Joseph with you?”

Angie glared at Christina, scolding her for being insensitive.

Angie led Joseph into the Yamin family’s house. He was warmly welcomed. He politely greeted Angie.

“Hello, Mrs. Yamin.” he did not expect her to be so enthusiastic. It was as if they had known each other

for a long time.

Charlie had gone to meet up with his friends for coffee. Chris went to the hospital. Stella felt bored and

went to sleep again. At this moment, it was only Angie in the living room.

The servants helped to bring the luggage in. Christina took off her sunglasses and walked into the

living room. When she saw her mother’s excited face, she was speechless. “Mom, take it easy.”

Then, she smiled and said softly to Joseph, “Please bear with me. My mother is like this. You might

want to go to the Roberts family in a few hours instead of being here.”

“Mom, where are Dad and Stella?” Christina looked at the huge living room and saw that her mother

was the only one there.
