Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 503

No one spoke. William stood up and patted his son on the shoulder. “How can you let Christina treat

you? Christina, let’s go. I will treat you to a meal.”

Christina felt that Frank’s father was much likable than before. He no longer put on airs and acted cool.

He was very down-to-earth.

In the past, William had always put on airs when he was doing business. He wore a cold expression

and emanated a strong aura. There would be many people following him. Wherever he went, people

would wonder if he was shooting a movie. Actually, Christina didn’t know that there were two groups of

bodyguards around the golf course. One of them belonged to the Turner family, and the other belonged

to the Roberts family!

Christina said politely, “William, let me do it. It’s rare for us to meet, and there aren’t many opportunities

like this. Since you’re older than me, let me do something nice for you.”

Frank shrugged his shoulders and did not refuse. “Let’s go, Miss Millionaire.”

Since Christina had already said so, no one refused. However, Frank wouldn’t let Christina pay in the

end. It was just an excuse for Christina to eat together with them.

When they arrived, they were driving a commercial car that could seat seven people. Now that there

was an additional Christina, there was no room for them. However, William quickly came up with an

idea. He had arranged everything before they left the golf course. “Christina, did you drive here?”

“Yes, William.”

William said, “Can I trouble you to give Joseph a ride? It was fine when we came, but on the way back,

my bodyguards’ car broke down. It can’t be driven anymore.”

Christina was skeptical. She did not know if the car had really broken down, or if it was faked. Even if

William had lied about it being broken down, with so many people watching, she was too embarrassed

to refuse. She agreed readily. “William, how about a few people come over to share a ride with me? My

car can still accommodate three.”

William waved his hand. “No need. Joseph can go over to yours first. The bodyguards have already

called someone to come to fix the car.”

Christina thought, “So, it’s just that there’s no room for Joseph. The car was also damaged because of

Joseph. Can William be any more obvious?”

She smiled helplessly and did not reject him. “Alright, William. We’ll wait for you at the hotel. See you

later.” She nodded politely at him.

She did not forget the proper etiquette, and her behavior was impeccable.

Emma smiled. “See you later. Sorry for the trouble.”

“It’s no trouble. It doesn’t inconvenience me anyway,” Christina replied with a smile.

Ava held Frank’s hand and playfully wayed at Christina. She said enthusiastically, “Pretty lady, see you

later.”-

Christina replied, “See you later.”

The few people who had not left looked at the two people who were walking away. They appeared very

compatible. Grace could not help but smack William lightly on his arm. “You came just short of writing

the word ‘matchmaker’ on your forehead.”

It was too obvious. Thankfully, Christina was sensible and didn’t put everyone on the spot. Grace didn’t

like forcing a match like this. If one of the parties wasn’t interested, it would make both of them feel

awkward.

However, it seemed that Christina and Joseph didn’t seem to dislike each other. Instead, they got along

quite well. As for whether they could get along with each other or not, she had no idea.

William grinned. “You can’t blame me for this. Charlie called me and asked me to compensate a son-in-

law to them. She insisted that I help her look for someone. Apparently, there is a man who has been

courting Christina for a long time, but Christina does not agree. Her parents are afraid that the

relationship will be ruined. I got the call on Christmas Eve. They want me to see if there’re any suitable

men for her.”

Avà caught the main point. “Ah! Does the pretty lady already have someone courting her? Wouldn’t it

be inappropriate for my brother to make a move?”

William said proudly to his future daughter-in-law, “She’s just being courted. It’s not like she already has

a boyfriend. Besides, for an outstanding girl like her, it wouldn’t be odd to have a lot of suitors. In the

past…”

Grace stopped William in time. “It’s almost time to go. Christina is probably already halfway there.”/

Emma didn’t pay attention to the fact that Christina was being currently courted by another.

Outstanding and beautiful girls, as long as no one was blind, stood out wherever they went. There

would also be people who wanted to seek their favor,

No matter what type of personality the woman had, everyone would like her.

However, from their interactions, Emma guessed that her son and the girl had known each other for a

long time. The collaboration they were talking about was probably not the same kind of collaboration

she knew. Emma did not know what it was exactly.

Grace saw that Emma was deep in thought and did not speak. She took the initiative to put her arm

around Emma’s shoulders. “Don’t worry. Christina has a good character. She won’t do anything rash,

especially when it comes to relationships. Over the years, the Yamin family has arranged many blind

dates for her. If Christina doesn’t like them, she will reject them directly. She won’t flirt with them nor

lead them along. As for her career, she also relied on her own efforts. She never takes the easy way

out or resorts to any dishonest means.

It was also what Frank and Grace liked most about Christina.

Emma nodded. “Joseph is usually too busy. Ordinary girls really won’t understand his busy schedule.”

There was nothing between Joseph and Christina at present, so Emma no longer worried

unnecessarily. However, she still wondered that if her future daughter-in-law was also a strong career

woman, wouldn’t it be difficult for her son and daughter-in-law to meet up?

Forget it. As long as Joseph liked her, they would arrange their own time.

Not participating or interfering in the children’s lives was another form of letting go and respecting the

children.

Ava, who was following behind them, was still focused on the problem that there was someone courting

Christina. Frank held her waist and bent down slightly. “What are you thinking about?” Her little cheeks

were puffed up, and she was pouting. It was obvious that she was upset.

William walked side by side with Daniel. William was telling him about the Yamin family.

Ava looked up at Frank and said, “Do you think my brother likes that pretty lady?”

Whether Joseph liked her or not, Frank didn’t know. He did not have telepathy and so wasn’t privy to

Joseph’s thoughts. But Frank could deduce that Joseph didn’t dislike her. When had he ever seen

Joseph get along so well with a woman?

It couldn’t be because Christina was a strong, outstanding woman who was tomboyish, right?

There were many people in Sapphire City who were more outstanding than Christina, but Joseph did

not hang out with any of them. However, Frank had already observed them just now. Joseph and

Christina had known each other for a long time, and it was not for a month or two. “Do you need me to

investigate?”

Ava immediately shook her head. That would be rude. She was just curious. “No, no. That is not good.

Forget it. I’ll just wait

Frank’s hand went around Ava’s shoulder and pinched her earlobe. “Don’t worry. Joseph knows what

he is doing.”

Christina was definitely no match for Joseph in terms of scheming. There was no doubt about it.

Joseph and Christina were currently on the way to the destination.

maneuvered it skillfully. It was obvious that she was an experienced driver who often drove. Her

slender hand opened up and made a circle on the steering wheel. Even when they reached a big turn,

she also steered the steering wheel with one hand.

Her movements were smooth and fluid. The car didn’t make a big turn, so there was no shaking in the

car.

Her curly hair was tied up high by a black hair tie. Compared to when they were negotiating at the

hotel, Christina looked more youthful now.

Sitting in the front passenger seat, a photo flashed across Joseph’s mind. It was a photo that Christina

had photoshopped. He was also sitting in the front passenger seat in the photo. Christina was driving.

All that was missing in the car was a bouquet of roses. When he compared reality and the photo, he

could not help but smile.

Her hands rested leisurely on the steering wheel. She looked sideways at him and asked, “What are

you laughing at?”

Joseph did not avoid her. He felt like he was one of those men who were kept by a strong wealthy

woman, that she was his sugar mommy. “What can I be thinking of at this moment?”

“Huh? What?” Christina was confused and did not understand the meaning behind Joseph’s words.

She frowned.

“It’s nothing. You’re pretty good at golf.”

“You aren’t bad at it either. Did you go easy on the last round?” Christina asked.

Joseph always liked to throw the rhetorical questions back to Christina and take the lead in their

conversations. “What do you think? Don’t I look honest?”

“What if I say you are indirectly honest? Can I ask you a personal question then?”

He didn’t say if he could or couldn’t. He asked simply, “Are you curious about me?”

Was she curious? Yes, but not really.

Christina looked ahead and drove seriously. Her lips, which she had applied lipstick on, parted. “Sort of.

You can understand it as me trying to understand my collaborator better.”

“Ask away.”

“You’re the owner of a company, right? The CEO?”

Hearing this, Joseph didn’t show his surprise, nor did he discuss what went wrong with him for the

woman to arrive at this deduction so quickly. Still, he did not answer yes or no. He only used words to

lead Christina to the answer. “Do you think Frank is short of money?”

Wasn’t this question telling her that a boss like Frank wouldn’t be short of money and wouldn’t work

with her to earn extra money? “Is there no one who can outtalk you?”

Joseph smiled. “It depends. I don’t really chat with people.”

What did he mean by that? Did he mean that he would only talk to her?

Christina smiled sweetly, stepped on the accelerator, and sped up.

The two of them chatted on and off for a long time. Joseph also realized a problem. The woman was

not as strong as she looked, and she also had a softer, funny side to her.

When the car arrived at Grand Manor, Christina nimbly turned the steering wheel and parked the car in

a narrow parking space. She slid the car into the parking spot with a smooth maneuver and only used

one hand. It had to be said that her actions were very cool. Joseph, who was watching from the side,

praised, “Your driving skills are not bad.”

Christina was not humble. “It’s alright.”

“You know how to race?”

Christina replied, “I’m just more familiar with the accelerator and brakes than the average person.”

After parking the car, the two of them got out of it and prepared to walk into the hotel. A light in the

distance shone on them. The dazzling headlights made Christina subconsciously raise her hand to

block the light. Her beautiful eyes narrowed..

Joseph quietly moved a step, and in an instant, all the bright light was blocked. The tall figure stood in

front of Christina. She lowered her head slightly and lowered her arm. For some reason, her heart

began to beat faster. She wanted to thank him, but there was no evidence that Joseph had shifted a

step for her.

If he hadn’t intended that, then she had imagined it. It would make her seem a little narcissistic and

things would be awkward. She looked away. She pulled off her hair tie and tied her hair again.

The car in the distance stopped after finding a suitable spot. A group of people got out of the car. Frank

got out first and held Ava’s hand to help her down.

Ava tiptoed and whispered into Frank’s ear, “Frank, don’t you think my brother is a good match for that

beautiful lady? They look good next to each other.”

After hearing the little girl’s words, Frank heeded what she said. He glanced at the two people waiting

for them in the distance. Both of them were wearing sweater sets. Needless to say, they looked like a

married couple. If Joseph pretended to be weak, he might be protected by Christina.

“Yes, they appear quite compatible.”

“Right? Do you think so too? That’s what I think. I hope Joseph can do it. However, I still have to tell

him to ask if she has a boyfriend. If she does, he can…”

Seeing that the young lady was having trouble looking for the appropriate phrase, Frank helped. He

laughed and said, “Steal her away? Don’t worry, she doesn’t have a boyfriend.”

If she had a boyfriend, the Yamin family wouldn’t have gone through so much trouble. They would have

bragged about it to his father a long ago. They wouldn’t have tolerated William calling Charlie so often

to show off.
