Chapter 536
After dinner.
Before Christina could go to Joseph’s room, Ava had already enthusiastically dragged her to her room.
The two men following behind felt very helpless.
At the same time, they also doted on the ladies. It was obvious that Ava welcomed her sister-in-law
very much.
“Christina, look at my room. What do you think? Isn’t it beautiful?” Ava extended her hand and
introduced her room. After introducing the entire room, she opened the balcony door and began to
introduce the view there.
Meanwhile, Christina’s gaze was fixed on the hanging chair. Under the sunlight, the brightly shining
hanging chair kept attracting her attention. She could not help but be shocked. Was it a hanging chair
full of diamonds?
Was this not a little too extravagant?
The two men who followed behind naturally saw the uneasy expression on the usually calm Christina’s
face. Frank leaned against the door leisurely and pressed his lips without saying anything. This was his
and the little girl’s room.
Joseph asked, “You like it?”
Christina quickly shook her head. She did not dare to say that she liked it. If Joseph got one for her
tomorrow, Joseph’s parents would probably have the wrong ideas. She was not a little princess
anymore, and she was already past the age to like these things.
She was a little shocked and surprised, that was all. She shook her head and praised, “It’s quite good-
looking. It suits Ava.” She meant between the lines that it did not suit her, which Joseph understood.
“Alright, alright. Joseph, I won’t occupy Christina anymore. Christina, come and play with me if you’re
bored.”
Before she left, Christina took another look at the bed, which was filled with dolls. She gave Frank a
meaningful look. Frank –hugged the dolls in his arms and lay on his side. He used his actions to
answer Christina’s questions.
Joseph held the tip of his nose with one hand and hid his smile. He hugged Christina and went out.
When he reached the door, Christina started to say, “Joseph, can I interview you?”
Christina did not need to say anything, and Joseph already knew what she wanted to ask. He smiled
faintly and played along. “Sure, ask. I’ll definitely tell you everything I know.”
When Emma came out of her room, she bumped into the two people chatting and laughing. Her son’s
face was filled with a blissful smile. “Christina, if there’s anything inappropriate or lacking, just tell
Joseph and let him buy it.”
“Joseph, you hear that?”
“Got it, Mom.”
Christina nodded in gratitude. She could feel the thoughtfulness of the Turner family and the concern of
her future mother-in-law.
Emma elegantly went downstairs in her slippers. Her down jacket had been changed into a shawl, and
she was still wearing a plain-colored gown inside. She looked very dignified and delicate.
Looking at her future mother-in-law’s back, Christina was led by Joseph into his room. As soon as she
entered, she was pressed against the door, and it was locked.
Following the sound of the lock, Christina smiled. “Mr. Turner, why don’t you tell me what you were
thinking at that time? You’re so rich that you overflowed with money. Why did you take my 1.6 million
dollars, huh?”
The word “huh” sounded like she wanted to settle scores with him.
Christina, who was pinned against the wall, was not afraid at all. Instead, her hands moved up bit by bit
until they reached Joseph’s Adam’s apple. Her slender fingers kept teasing and moving up inch by
inch. Her voice was charming and delicate.
Joseph was very indulgent towards the unmasked temptation. He did not interrupt the woman’s
teasing, but a certain emotion was about to erupt in his eyes. Christina kept jumping around the edge
of the volcano that was about to erupt.
He did not like to look down at Christina from above and preferred to look at her at eye level. Thus, he
bent his waist slightly, and said with a slightly hoarse voice, “I’ll tell you why now.”
Just as Christina thought that Joseph was going to explain, she was suddenly lifted into the air. Before
she could look around Joseph’s room, she was carried straight into the bathroom.
The bathroom door slammed shut.
Only then did she realize that Joseph’s explanation was done by action, not by mouth.
The heater in the bathroom was off the charts, spilling out of the quiet room through the crack in the
door. Following that, the entire room was filled with a steamy vibe.
10:42
A few hours later, Christina was no longer in the mood to appreciate the environment of Joseph’s room.
She did not even want to look at the color of the blanket. Her legs were trembling slightly. This man had
used his actions to tell her why she had deliberately taken the bait.
Yes, she felt the reason, literally.
In the bathroom, Joseph said something very gangsterish. It did not match his usual image at all. It was
another side of him.
In the other room, the two had a truce tonight. They just slept quietly in each other’s arms. There were
dolls on both sides as if protecting them from sleeping.
The next morning.
After the six of them finished their breakfast, five of them went to the office. One of them stayed at
home. After everyone left, Emma went to the greenhouse to trim the flowers and trees as usual before This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
going to the balcony to read.
At the Turner Corporation.
A group of people entered the private elevator under everyone’s gaze. Today, Christina was wearing a
turtleneck sweater because of last night’s excessive exercise. Outside was a black coat, a pair of white
wide-legged pants, and a pair of high heels. Her curly hair was casually draped over her shoulders.
Frank, on the other hand, was dressed very casually. He was wearing a sweater. He was here to visit,
not to work, but to play with the young lady. Ava, on the other hand, was dressed much better. She was
wearing an irregular sweater, a white down jacket with shorts, stockings, and boots. She had a high
ponytail and looked very innocent.
Joseph was the Turner Corporation’s CEO, so his clothes were more formal. He wore a formal black
suit inside and a long black down jacket outside, but there was a faint mark on his neck.
Ava did not see it. However, the sharp-eyed Frank had seen it as soon as he saw Joseph come down
in the morning.
As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they met a woman in a smog-blue suit, a white shirt, and
nude high heels. She had shoulder-length hair and light makeup.
Seeing the group of people come out, she first shouted respectfully to Daniel, “Hello, Chairman. Hello,
Mr. Turner.” Then, she stood respectfully at the side and followed them to the office without a word.
However, when she glanced at Christina, she could not help but smile.
Ava hid beside Frank and greeted the woman playfully. The woman blinked her left eye as a form of
greeting.
At the same time, Christina also noticed this pretty woman. This woman looked a little older than her
and seemed to know how to dress up. At least her outfit looked comfortable and made people feel
close to her.
Ava and Frank did not enter the office. Instead, Ava dragged Frank to her own company to hang out.
The people at their desks were very curious as to why there were so many unfamiliar faces today.
This was Frank’s first time here. Previously, Daniel had asked him to come to the Turner Corporation to
take a look. However, every time he came to the city, he was in a hurry and was busy accompanying
the young lady, so he never came to the Turner Corporation.
Led by Ava, Frank familiarized himself with each department as if he were here to join the company
today.
In the office.
Daniel sat down and took off his coat. The woman in blue took it and hung it on the hanger. He began
to introduce, “Quinn, this is the new general manager of the marketing department. Christina Yamin.
Christina, this is Quinn Price, Joseph’s secretary. She’s also the daughter of my best friend. She’s one
of us.”
Quinn Price? This was the person who sent the text, right?
Without thinking for too long, Christina reached out to shake the woman’s hand gracefully and
introduced herself. “Christina Yamin. Nice to meet you.”
She did not mention the text message. Joseph had already explained it to her. Moreover, her future
father-in-law had specifically explained this relationship just now.
Joseph did not bring Christina to see Quinn last time, so he put his arm around Christina’s shoulder
and introduced, “She’s my fiancée and soon-to-be wife.”
Christina was speechless.
Quinn covered her mouth and laughed. She did not call Daniel Chairmain respectfully as she did
outside. Instead, she called him uncle and said. “Uncle Daniel, look at Joseph. Fortunately, I’m a
woman. He’d probably list me as his love rival if I were a man. It’s as if I’m snatching his fiancée.”
Daniel was very generous to Christina. “Consider it as Joseph feeling very threatened. Christina is very
outstanding.”
Quinn teased, “I can tell. She’s very outstanding. You have great taste. Congratulations. You better not
forget to give me wedding candies.”

Joseph said, “I’ll give it to you first. Take good care of my fiancée and I’ll give you a few more candies.”
Everyone laughed. The two women looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
The atmosphere was very harmonious.
After chatting for more than ten minutes, Joseph brought Christina to a meeting and introduced her
position. The person who gave the order was Daniel, giving Christina more than enough confidence. In
the company, Daniel basically did not participate in such meetings. Today, he was just afraid that his
daughter-in-law would not be used to it, so he came to support her.
After the meeting, Christina went to the pantry. Quinn walked in and apologized, “Sorry.”
Christina knew what she was talking about. She turned around with a polite smile on her face and said
generously, “It’s fine. Joseph explained it to me.”
“I thought this guy was talking nonsense. I wouldn’t have sent this message if I knew that he really had
a girlfriend. Didn’t this brat always stay in Athana? During this period, there was a difficult client, so I
asked him to come back, but he told me that he wanted to chase his girlfriend and couldn’t come back.
I thought that it was an excuse for him not to socialize, so I urged him to bring his so-called girlfriend to
see me. In the end, this brat kept standing me up and saying next time. That’s why I thought it was
fake.
“I’m sorry. I apologize if I caused a misunderstanding.”
Those who had been through marriage could understand that it was best not to have any
misunderstandings between couples. Quinn knew that she would have committed a horrible crime if
she caused a misunderstanding between Joseph and Christina. Thus, she felt she had to explain the
joke she had made herself.
Christina took a sip of water and could feel the woman’s directness. “Do I look so petty? To be honest, I
was quite uncomfortable when I saw the message, but later on, we explained things clearly right away,
which also made our relationship go one step further.”
After saying that, Christina nodded, indicating that what she said was true. She did not want the woman
in front of her to feel burdened. She could see that Quinn’s apology was very sincere.
Quinn shrugged her shoulders. “In that case, it looks like I’ve unknowingly helped out. That’s good,
then.”
To be honest, Christina had a good impression of this woman. Quiin had a very clear distinction
between right and wrong and did not hesitate to give up when they were not suitable for each other, not
feeling reluctant because of the wealth she would be giving up at all. Christina said, “In private, I’ll call
you Quinn like Joseph.”
“Sure, I can’t ask for more. Looks like I’ve made another friend today. What a great day! Uncle Daniel is
very blessed. His daughter-in-law is so beautiful, and his son-in-law is also extremely handsome.
Indeed, all beautiful women are paired with handsome men, leaving only unwanted men and old
women.”
Quinn’s way of speaking was very interesting as if she had no burdens or worries in life. She gave off a
carefree feeling. When the two of them came out of the pantry, they bumped into Pat. He stood
respectfully at the side and watched expressionlessly as Christina and Quinn left.
