Turning Of The Tide

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 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.
