Chapter 528
Chapter 528
Angie’s enthusiasm exceeded Joseph’s expectations. They’ve only officially met twice. The last time was at the Roberts family.
Today was the second time.
When he bought tampons for Ava at the supermarket, he didn’t actually meet Angie face-to-face.
Today was only the second time. Right now, Angie’s burning gaze was like a mother looking at her son. To be honest, Joseph felt
a bit creeped out.
However, he stayed somewhat calm. He tried to reflect Angie’s enthusiasm by changing the topic. “Mrs. Yamin, It’s okay. I’ll do it
myself. We had food on the plane. You don’t need to worry about us. We’ll go watch TV now.”
“Okay, alright. Christina is such an insensitive child. She didn’t even give us a call in advance. If your father, no, if her father
knew that you were coming, he definitely wouldn’t have gone out. This is too bad.”
Angie sighed and glared at her daughter again.
Joseph sat down and chatted with Angie. “It’s fine, Mrs. Yamin. There will be many chances for me to meet him in the future.”
“That’s right. You can meet him some other time. What did you buy? Why do you have so many suitcases?”
Joseph stood up, opened a suitcase, and took out something he had brought with him. “Mrs. Yamin, the company has recently
developed some new massage devices. These items have already been tested. They are very useful. Mr. Yamin and you can
use them when you’re tired. They will help you relax.”
Where could she have found such a good son-in-law? He was too kind. He was even more attentive than her own son. Chris
was a brat, and he had never bought Angie such things. He went to the hospital after eating.
The more Angie looked at Joseph, the more she liked him. She almost wanted her daughter to get married to Joseph the next
second. She couldn’t let other girls snatch away such a good son-in-law. She said politely, “You’re too caring. I like you very
much. However, you shouldn’t spend this much money on us again, okay?”
Even though Angie was being polite verbally, deep down, she was overjoyed. Joseph said politely, “Mrs. Yamin, just consider it
as if you are helping me test the products. If you have any negative experiences with them, please give me feedback. That’ll be a
great help.”
Angie was even happier after hearing this. She felt that Joseph’s emotional intelligence was very high. He was clearly offering a
gift to her. To make her feel better, he had chosen a nice way to address his gifts. It warmed her heart.
Ever since Joseph entered the house, the corners of Angie’s mouth kept curling up. She even ignored Christina’s question.”
Instead, she was busy talking to Joseph. Christina shook her head helplessly. “I’ll go bring my suitcase upstairs. Mom, enjoy your
gift.”
“Mrs. Yamin, I’ll help Christina carry the suitcases up. Joseph stood up.
Christina narrowed her eyes and looked at him. This guy was quite straightforward. Unexpectedly, Angie said, “Go ahead.
Joseph will be having dinner here tonight. Take a look in Christina’s room and let us know if you need anything else. You’re
already engaged. You don’t have to leave tonight. Hurry up and take a look.”
Christina was speechless.
Hearing this, Joseph smiled and pushed Christina forward. “Okay, Mrs. Yamin, I’ll go up now.”
The two of them spoke softly on the stairs. Christina placed a new pair of slippers on the ground. “Mr. Turner, you did a good job
of buying your way into my mom’s heart.”
“The most important thing is that Mrs. Yamin likes me,” Joseph said seriously.
The two of them pushed and shoved each other on the stairs. Angie could tell Joseph wanted to stay, so she brought up the
topic first and agreed to let him stay. From the corner of her eye, she saw the commotion on the stairs. The corners of Angie’s
lips curled up in satisfaction again.
She muttered softly, “It would be great if they had registered their marriage already.”
Joseph got to Christina’s room. The layout of her room was very simple, but the bed was quite big. When he saw the bed,
Joseph smiled mysteriously. His smile had an element of dirty intention.
Christina did not understand why he was smiling. Confused, she asked, “Is there a problem with my room?”
“No, it’s just that I like your bed.” He lowered his head and whispered into Christina’s ear.
“You’re really...” she was caught off guard.
“Sis, you’re back, you...”. Stella stood at the door with her hair styled in a bob, interrupting Christina before she could scold
Joseph. Stella was taken aback when she saw Joseph in person.
For a moment, she forgot that she was currently looking messy. She stood there like a fool and compared the difference between
the look of Joseph in front of her and the image she had of him in her mind.
Joseph glanced at his sister-in-law, who seemed completely casual. He took the initiative to introduce himself. “Hello, I am
Joseph Turner.”
The introduction pulled Stella back to reality. “Damn, Christina, Joseph looks much better than the photo you showed us. Oh my
god, Joseph, you look just like Ava.”
Christina wanted to remind her sister of her current appearance. The hair on the top of her head was looking really messy,
probably because she was covered under a blanket. Christina pinched her forehead and felt a headache coming on.
Joseph was not surprised at all that Ava was able to get along with Stella. He smiled and said, “Ava likes you very much.”
Stella was not shy at all. Instead, she seemed very proud of herself. She felt that Joseph’s smile was quite charming and
believed he and her sister were very compatible. “Of course. I also like Ava very much. She has a great personality. Joseph, are
you sleeping here tonight?”
“It’s up to your sister. If she agrees, I’ll stay here.” Joseph glanced at Christina. His intentions were obvious.
“Of course. My sister will agree. Are you guys staying together in Sapphire City?” Joseph smiled and nodded. He thought Stella
was fun. She was even more carefree than Ava. She was straightforward and did not care about others’ opinions of her.
Then, Stella clapped her hands. She put herself in charge of the situation and continued, “You sleep together in Sapphire. City,
so why would you sleep separately in Athana? Isn’t that dumb? Right, Christina? He can stay here.”
After saying that, two pairs of eyes stared at Christina, waiting for her to speak. Christina felt like she had been forced to make a
difficult choice. She said helplessly, “Well, I didn’t say no.” Her mother had already agreed. What else could she say?
If Christina dared to object, her mother would chase her out and scold her until she gave up.
“You better go to the bathroom and look in the mirror.” Christina reminded Stella.
Stella touched her hair and then had a bad feeling. She immediately fled the scene. “Goodbye, Joseph. Please forget what I
looked like just now. Thank you.”
“Your sister has quite a lively personality.” Joseph didn’t mean to belittle Christina. He felt that she was pretty fantastic.
Christina felt helpless this whole time. She did not know when her sister would actually grow up. “We have spoiled her. She will
never grow up. Her biggest dream is to work at the front desk of the Wilson Group.”
Joseph did not know about that. The document only showed that Stella was working as a receptionist at the Wilson Group. There
was no mention of her dreams. “If she likes being a receptionist, can’t she go work at her family’s company?”
“She’s crazy and likes to work as a receptionist at Trevon Wilson’s company. She even has a special fondness for it. After the
New Year, I asked her to resign, However, she turned out like I had asked her to become a nun. She became so lazy every day.
and never left the house. She sleeps all day. You can tell just by looking at her just now.”
Joseph could understand Christina’s disappointment. In comparison, Ava was indeed more ambitious. She even signed up for a
minor in a subject that she was not good at. Natalie also had her own career. Indeed, Stella couldn’t be a receptionist forever.
Patting Christina on the shoulder, Joseph said, “Take your time. Perhaps she hasn’t realized how important a career means to
her.”
Christina said domineeringly, “Whether she realizes it or not, I have to ask her to work at Yamin Group next year. How much
youth can she still have? At least she has to learn something.”
Joseph did not intend to get in the way of Christina being dominant, because she was right..
At the same time, Joseph was also very puzzled. No one in this family could tell that the photo Christina showed them was fake.
Although the photo was photoshopped very well, if one looked carefully, they could discover some issues.
Stella returned to her room and went straight to the bathroom. When she saw herself being messy, she felt so embarrassed that
she wanted to kill herself. Her reputation was completely gone. There was even some eye booger by the corner of her eyes. She
felt so terrible.
She was having so much fun chatting with Joseph. However, she didn’t realize she was not presentable at all when meeting her
brother-in-law for the first time.
She quickly washed her face with a towel and tied her hair up. Then, she sent a message to Ava. After the marriage proposal,
the two of them got along very well and exchanged all their contact information.
Stella found Ava’s contact in her phone and sent a message to her, [Ava, Ava, your brother is at my house. He came home with
my sister.]
At the same time.
In the Roberts family’s villa, Ava was reading on the balcony while Frank Roberts was busy with something on his computer. Her
phone on the small table rang.
“Baby Ava, you got a text.”
“Oh, wait a minute. Let me finish reading this page. Otherwise, I’ll forget which line I was at.”
“Do you want a milkshake? Shall I buy it for you or get someone to buy it for you?”
Ava closed the book and put the bookmark on it. “Let someone buy it. I want to have one from Uncle Milkshake. Add some
pudding for me.”
“Is there anything else you want to have? Maybe some cake?”
The little girl shook her head, indicating that she only wanted to have a milkshake under the sun.
Frank got up, rubbed Ava’s head, and went downstairs.
Downstairs.
Three people chatted at the door. They were in a completely different atmosphere compared with the bodyguards of the Roberts
family. Especially the one that was just hired, he looked extremely lively.
When Benjamin Harris saw Frank, he smiled and called out loudly, “Hey, Mr. Roberts.”
Frank nodded at Benjamin. He took out 200 dollars and handed it to Pat Black. “It’s cold today. Buy some drinks for yourselves.
Didn’t you want to take a walk? Go. Remember to get a milkshake from Uncle Milkshake. Remember to add pudding and make
the sugar 30 percent.”
Pat nodded. He knew that this was Ava’s favorite drink.
Benjamin could not wait to go for a walk. “Yes, Mr. Roberts. I got it. Let’s go. I’ll carry it for you
Pat’s face darkened. He had 200 dollars. The Roberts family had many bodyguards. He didn’t know how many drinks he needed
to buy exactly.
Frank could tell that Pat was in a difficult position. “Buy whatever you want. If there are too many drinks, give the extra to those
who want it. If there’s not enough drinks, don’t give it to the big guys.”
Benjamin was speechless.
After giving his instructions, Frank turned around and left.
“Mr. Roberts is so cool. His way of handling things is better than Mr. Turner.”
Pat thought to himself, “You won’t say that when you meet with the other guy.”
Ava was replying to Stella’s message, [My brother is back?]
Why didn’t he call them? As expected, he forgot about his sister after having a wife. Ava was upset about the situation. Then she
decided to let it go this time. She knew Joseph was still going after Christina. It was a good thing that Joseph was able to visit the
Yamin family.
Stella replied, [That’s right. Joseph is much more handsome than the photo of him I saw previously. He doesn’t look good in
photos. Though his photos were not that bad, he seemed dull in them.]
Ava thought, “Did my brother look bad in photos?
“Out of everyone in our family, Joseph is the one who looked the best in photos. He looked already good enough in photos
without photoshopping.”
Ava thought that her brother had taken photos with her future sister-in-law before, but she was very puzzled about the fact that
Joseph looked bad in the photos. Did her brother and her future sister-in-law take many photos in the past?
She remembered that she had always been urging Joseph to find a girlfriend. However, he had always not cared about it. Could
it be that they had been together for a long time?
This became another question that Ava was confused about.
Stella was also a very straightforward person. She didn’t say much and simply sent a photo of Christina and Joseph to Ava.
