Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Angie kept her word and really didn't look for Leia. Instead, she sent food to Leia every day. In the beginning, she asked her daughter to send it, but in the end, she stopped asking her daughter and asked her son to send it over instead.
When Leia was working overtime, Angie asked her son to send dinner to the company. She even instructed Charlie to act normal and not give her future daughter-in-law too much pressure.
Since the entire family knew that they were in a relationship, Chris and Leia did not have to deliberately take a detour to change cars. On this day, Leia wanted to send Chris to work. As soon as she opened her eyes, she sent a message to Chris, saying that she would send him. Chris was happy, of course. He agreed excitedly and also wanted to experience the feeling of being sent to work by his girlfriend.
He waited downstairs early in the morning.
Seeing that his son had no intention of going out, Angie, who was sitting on the sofa, asked casually, "Aren't you going to work?" What Angie meant was, 'Don't you have to send your girlfriend to work today?" Chris replied smugly, "Leia is sending me to work." Since it was a sweet thing that couples did, Angie didn't say anything. Sitting on the sofa calmly, she turned on the television, but she wasn't paying attention to the television at all. She would occasionally glance outside. The glass was wiped very clean by the servants, so she could see the scene outside at a glance.
After a while, Chris straightened his clothes and walked out the door. "Goodbye, Mom. I'm going to work." "Okay, have a good day." Angie sat on the sofa and craned her neck. She saw a blue sports car parked outside but could not see what brand it was. She only saw the body of the car. It was very nice.
The servant also saw it. "Madam, Ms. March's car is so beautiful. She must be beautiful too." Angie was happy. She loved compliments. "You're good at talking. I'll increase your salary by 50% this month." The servant who was given a raise was overjoyed. The other servants also wanted to speak, but Angie stopped them. "There's no need to say anything else. It's fine as long as you guys know. I know that my daughter-in-law is beautiful. Alright, go do your work. Wipe the glass clean." The blue Mustang had already driven a distance away from the Yamins' Villa. A car had been following their car. At the traffic light, Leia looked in the rearview mirror and turned to ask, "Chris, is the car behind us your friend's car?" The car window was open. Chris turned around and saw the car behind him. The window rolled down, revealing Edward's face.
When Edward saw Chris, he was also stunned at first. Then, he only nodded slightly. He was not a gossipy person, but Rose liked to gossip. He planned to share it with Rose when he got off work.
Chris didn't know Edward's thoughts and was glad that Rose wasn't in the car. He simply greeted him, "Good morning. What a coincidence." Edward nodded. "Yes." The light turned green. One of them turned to the left, and the other went straight. They parted ways.
After a while, Chris received a text message. It was from Trevon. It said, [Do you have a sugar mommy now?] Chris gripped his phone tightly and subconsciously poked his head out to look for Trevon's car. He looked around but did not see it.
A few seconds later, a horn sounded from behind them. Trevon pressed it three times in a row. This action could be considered as telling Chris that he was behind him.
Chris sat back in his seat speechlessly. It was not easy for him to fall in love. He could even bump into Trevon in such a huge city like Athana. His girlfriend decided to send him to work on a whim, but unexpectedly, Trevon the idiot saw it.
When did this guy see it? He only saw Edward's car just now. Chris tried his best to recall.
Leia looked at Chris in a daze. "What's wrong?" "Nothing. I just saw a dumbass." As soon as he finished speaking, Leia didn't ask any more questions. She automatically thought that Chris had seen someone familiar. She drove seriously ahead toward Yamin Hospital.

Chris took out his phone and replied, [You're the only one who has a sugar mommy. I'm in a normal relationship.] Trevon replied, [What did you say earlier? Regret it now?] Chris texted, [You're no less different than me. You've regretted what you said many times.] Trevon responded, [I think love is better than surgery.] Looking at the reply, Chris' head hurt. In the future, he would definitely pray before he went out so that he could avoid idiots such as Frank and Trevon.
A number of days passed.
That night, Leia worked overtime until midnight because of a collaborative project. Chris rushed to the company to accompany her after performing his surgery. By the time the two of them came out of the office building, it was already two in the morning.
Leia was very touched. The wind was a little cold. Chris hugged her and walked out. "If you work overtime, send me a message.
I'll look for you when I'm done." Leia said, "If you have surgery the next day, you don't have to come over. It's not safe for you to operate if you don't get enough sleep. We have to be responsible for the patient." Chris chuckled, thinking that she was kind and understanding. "Leia, thank you for your understanding. I'll spend more time with you. Don't worry. I don't have to perform any surgery tomorrow morning." "Okay." Half an hour later, the car arrived at the neighborhood. After Leia and Chris kissed each other goodbye in the car, Chris drove back to his house and parked the car in the garage.
When he opened the door, he found that the door was locked. He tried a few more times, but it still did not open. The password was also wrong.
Chris was speechless. He didn't do anything wrong recently. Why was he chased out of the house? He reached into his pocket and took out his phone to call his sister, mother, and father. He only heard a female robotic voice. No one picked
up his calls.
Chris sent a few messages, but there was no reply either. His message was like a stone sinking into the sea. Sleeping in the car would be suffocating. Chris turned around and walked toward Leia's house. He stood at the door and
knocked hesitantly.
Leia did not go upstairs yet. She had gone to the kitchen to get a glass of water. At this moment, she held a glass of water and looked at the display screen. She saw that Chris had returned and was standing at the door.
One stood inside the door while the other stood outside. Leia asked, "What's wrong? Did you leave something behind?" Chris scratched his neck awkwardly. "No, I think I was chased out of the house. I can't get in." Leia was surprised. "Ah, Mrs. Yamin locked the door? Don't you know the password?" Chris said, "Maybe she thought that I wouldn't be coming home after performing surgery tonight, and the password lock seems to be broken, so we can only open the door with the key." This excuse was a little far-fetched. Chris smiled awkwardly. Leia seemed to have guessed something but didn't expose him.
Recently, Angie did not express her enthusiasm as Christina had said. Angie only
sent Leia food.
She turned sideways to let Chris in. "Come in." This was the first time the gentlemanly Chris had entered Leia's villa ever since they started dating. Leia bent down and gave him a pair of home slippers. "You can wear this." Chris looked down and saw that it was a man's. Seeing that he did not move, Leia explained with a smile, "There's no need to doubt it. I bought it for you. When I went to the supermarket, I bought a few pairs. I keep them in the shoe cabinet." Compared to Chris, Leia seemed to have expected this day. She and Chris kissed and hugged in the car. Sometimes, they almost went to fourth base, but she always held back.
She wasn't that pretentious. "Would you like some water?" she asked warmly.
Chris shook his head. "No, I want to take a shower." Leia brought Chris upstairs. There were many rooms, but only Leia's room was decorated. There was not even a bed in the other rooms and only a sofa downstairs.
Chris was speechless and thought, 'Brother-in-law didn't have to save so much money. One more bed wouldn't cost much.
Yamin Group is rich." Leia held Chris' hand and led him into the room. "If you're unwilling, I won't do anything to you. There's only one bed in the house. Mr. Turner thinks that I can't sleep in so many rooms alone, so he only decorated this room. Do you mind?" Only a fool would mind. Chris said, "No, as long as you don't mind." Leia smiled. "I don't mind. Your pajamas and towel are in the cabinet. Go take a shower." She was a person who prepared things in advance. The last time she went to the supermarket, she saw these daily necessities and bought them. At that time, she did not think about anything else. She just wanted to be prepared. It was that simple.
Chris felt an indescribable joy in his heart. After spending more time with Leia, he gradually realized that she was detailed and gentle. She was strong, and under her capable exterior was tolerance, gentleness, understanding, and kindness. Apart from his family background, Chris felt that he was out of her league. He had many shortcomings, but Leia tolerated him and always said that people did not have to be perfect. It was good as long as he had a clear conscience. Half an hour later, when Chris came out of the shower, Leia was already sitting on the bed. There were two blankets on the bed.
The gray blanket had just been brought out.
Chris changed into the pajamas that Leia had bought for him. They fit him very well. Leia glanced at them. "This color is not bad.
Is the pillow high enough?" Chris nodded, not feeling used to this. This made him
feel like he was the girl while Leia was the boy. Leia smiled when she saw this. Fortunately, she had prepared two blankets. Otherwise, Chris would not have dared to go to bed.
At this thought, Leia smiled. When Chris lifted the blanket and sat under it, she reached out and turned off the light.
Both of them wiggled around and lay down.
No one spoke for a long time. The lights were off in the room, and it was pitch
black. In the silent room, they could hear each other's breathing. Their hearts were beating intensely under the blanket. Leia was also a little nervous. She held the blanket tightly with both hands and pulled it up to her neck.
In the darkness, their eyes were open. Both pairs of eyes were scanning the darkness, but in reality, they couldn't see anything.
The room was filled with ambiguity and restlessness. Chris felt that if this
continued, he would not be able to sleep at night. He rolled over and asked, "Leia, are you asleep?" Hearing this, Leia also rolled over and faced Chris. Even without turning on the lights, Leia could tell that he was facing her at this moment because she could feel his warm breath on her face. "Can't you sleep?" Chris said frankly, "No. I want to kiss you. Is that okay?" Leia didn't know what to say. Seeing that Leia did not speak, Chris thought that she was unwilling. "You..." In the darkness, Leia had already moved closer to the voice. Because it was too dark, Leia's kiss did not land on Chris' lips but the corner of his mouth. When she
started to retreat, Chris quickly reached out, held her head, and leaned in. He adjusted the angle so that their lips met.
The air started to become hot and heavy. Her strong heart was like the strings of
a guitar that kept being strummed, forming a beautiful song. Her lips and teeth were filled with desire.
A blanket was mercilessly thrown to the floor. Only one blanket was left on the bed. Chris placed his hands on either side of her and lowered his head to continue kissing her. He kissed her ear, and the blush spread across her cheeks.
A few seconds later, she nodded slightly. The blanket covered their bodies.

Spring came at the end of winter, the temperature rising bit by bit. The thin layer
of snow outside slowly melted, revealing the tenacious grass that was hidden under it. They swayed in the wind and were reborn.
The creeper roses' petals were blown away by the cold wind. Every one of them
bloomed fully. The vines intertwined casually, and in the middle of the vines were a few extremely beautiful flowers. They were dazzling.
In the wee hours of the morning, the sky began to brighten, and the temperature
in the room dropped. The people in the room drifted off to sleep. The poor quilt
was still lying on the floor, with no one to pick it up. Perhaps it had been
forgotten, or perhaps the people were too busy.
The Yamins' Villa.

Stella was eating in the dining room.
She shouted to her mother in the
living room, "Mom, do you need me to send breakfast to my future sister-in-law today? Or do you want Chris to send d it? Hex where's Chris?" Angie avoided eye contact and was
the first to get up in the morning to change the password of the door again. "Ahem. Your brother worked overtime last night and probably spent the night in the hospital. You don't have to call your brother." "Hasn't he stopped working overtime for a long time? Why is he working overtime again? Isn't he afraid that his new girlfriend will run away? He's too insensible," Stella complained. The content is on Novelxo.org!

Hearing that his son was not back, Charlie thought that it was normal for him to
work overtime. In the past, Chris often did not come home to sleep when he performed surgeries in the middle of the night. It was just that he had been busy dating recently and was not so busy. However, seeing his wife's reaction, he felt that things were not so simple. Visit Novelxo.org to read full content.
Angie said, "Hurry up and go to work
after you're done eating. You talk so much that even food can't shut your mouth." After breakfast, Charlie and Stella went to work with doubts m
Angie was alone in the living room and sending messages to her daughter and son-in-law. Her
daughter and son-in-law could keep a secret. [Let me tell you, Chris didn't go home last night and slept in Leia's house. I think I'm about to become a grandmother] She could feel her mother's joy from her words. Christina simply sent a question
mark back to her. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest

Angie sent a voice message to Christina, telling her everything that happened.
After listening, Christina couldn't find any words to praise her mother. In the end, she only sent Angie a thumbs-up. Around half past nine in the morning, in a room in another villa. The woman was not feeling well. She felt that she would fall apart if she moved
even a little. Even climbing a mountain was not so tiring. At this moment, her legs were suffering aftereffects similar to that of running a marathon when she was
studying. They were trembling slightly.
She was wrapped in his arms and could not move at all. Her hand slowly reached out from under the blanket and she pinched the space between her brows. The man's charm delayed her. She took her phone from the bedside table and checked it. She realized that she had overslept and the alarm did not ring.
She thought that she had forgotten to turn it on.
Little did she know that after ending their love-making last night, Chris had turned
off the alarm on her phone and muted it. He had also sent his father a message applying for leave. The message was sent using Leia's phone. If he had used his phone to apply for
a leave, it would be equivalent to telling the entire family that they were together
night.
last She looked at the message that Chris had sent, and then lowered her eyes to look at the man sleeping soundly on her neck. Her lips curled into a beautiful
smile as she watched quietly. She reached out and brushed away the stray hair
on his forehead.
Chris's forehead itched. He frowned slightly. "Don't move. Go to sleep." As he spoke, he snuggled up against Leia.
The next moment, he opened his eyes and realized where he was. He didn't
release her under the covers but held her tighter.
"I'll take responsibility. I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself." Leia hugged him back. "I
was willing. You're great." She had always encouraged and understood him. It was like he could do no wrong in her eyes. Even if it was a bad habit, she would
patiently tell him to change it. Leia had given Chris all the gentleness, patience,
and tolerance she had.
Chris hugged her tightly as if he wanted to embed her into his body. After last
night's 'in-depth communication', their mental states had changed.

Chris planned to bring forward his
plan for Leia to meet his parents. "Leia, you're amazing." Leia replied,
"You're also amazing. You treat me very well. Don't always think that you're not good." "Can meet your mother? want to marry you not because of what happened last night, but because I've had this idea for a
long time. I'm just afraid that you'll think it's too early, so I haven't mentioned it." Leia smiled beautifully. "I'll meet your mother first. My parents are in Sapphire City. There's
no hurry. I'll arrange for you to meet them soon." "Okay, I'll listen to you." After the two of them agreed, Chris could not bear to leave Leia's neck. He snuggled there lazily and hugged her tightly, unwilling to leave. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
