Turning Of The Tide By Diana Sander Novel
Chapter 510

Chapter 510 

As they were talking, Jasper pushed open the door and poked his head in. He called out softly, “Auntie Ava, Mommy.” 

Ava got off the bed and went to hold Jasper’s hand. In the gentlest voice, she asked, “Did you just wake up?” 

Jasper nodded. “Yes.” 

“You’ve already learned to sleep in. How can you be so capable?” Ava pinched Jasper’s cheek. 

Natalie reached out to tidy up her son’s hair and smiled. “He has learned how to laze in bed with the adults recently. He slept with his grandmother last night and only woke up now.” 

He did not often laze in bed. But then, anyone would be reluctant to get out of bed in winter. Sometimes, Natalie even held her 

pee in because she was unwilling to get out of bed. 

་ 

Therefore, when Jasper stayed in bed and hid under the covers, Natalie did not say anything. Childhood was so short. It was fine as long as he could grow up freely. It was not a particularly bad habit. 

There were three children in the room, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. The two baby girls in the cradle were already sleeping soundly. Jasper took off his small slippers and raised a little finger to Ava. “Hush… My sisters need to sleep.” 

Ava cooperated and lowered her voice dramatically. She said very softly, “I understand. Let’s be quieter.” 

Natalie, who was sitting at the side, smiled. Unknowingly, the Little Princess, whom they had been protective of, had already grown up. She might get married next year and might become a mother. 

Natalie was already the mother of three children. She could not help but sigh. When she thought about it, she realized she had come a long way. 

After lunch, everyone gathered in the living room to look at the children. When he saw the twins and Jasper, William was extremely envious. He hoped that Frank could let him have grandchildren as soon as possible. 

Even Grace carried a baby girl in her arms. A gentle smile appeared on her face as Emma played with the child. 

The other girl was carried by Daniel. William rubbed his hands and wanted to carry the baby too. When William had his turn at last, he could not bear to put her down. 

Since Theo was an old man, and there were children who needed rest too, they were prepared to leave early. William reluctantly put down the child. 

In the living room of the Yamin family’s residence, Charlie was still holding the information booklet from last time and marking it with a pen. 

Angie, who was sitting at the side, was watching a television drama about a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Angie liked to watch this kind of television drama. After watching it, she could even write a small essay analyzing the plot. 

Christina came down in her slippers and casually combed through her curly hair. The ring on her finger reflected the light slightly. She held onto the handrail as she came down. “Mom, aren’t you going to take a nap?” 

Angie glanced at her daughter at the stairs. “Later. It’s exciting now. Didn’t Joseph ask you out? I heard from Grace that they are going back after the first week of Christmas.” 

“Oh. Yes. Yes. He told me. He has something on today and has already sent me a message.” 

Christina had activated the automated lying system when she was talking to her mother. She was becoming very good at lying. 

Angie had no choice but to remind her daughter, “Pay more attention. Don’t act as if nothing is going on You’re almost 30 years old. If you really don’t plan to get married, just tell me. I won’t force you to go on blind dates and get married.” 

Although that was what she said, she still kept urging Christina to get married. Christina really wanted her mother to watch fewer television dramas about such turbulent marriages, especially of quarrels between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law. However, Christina replied obediently, “Got it, Mom. It’s already 12:30.” 

“Alright. You two can continue chatting. I’ll go up and take a nap. 

As she spoke, Angie clapped her hands and picked up the remote control to turn off the television. No one watched it even if the television was on. She was the only one in the family who liked to watch such dramas. 

When she reached the third step of the stairs, Angie suddenly turned around and warned her daughter, “If Joseph wants to come to the house, don’t try to stop him.” 

Christina was speechless in the face of her mother’s naked threat. They had only seen Joseph, but they were already infatuated with him. Indeed, looks did matter. “Got it. I won’t stop him.” 

It 

was not until Angie went up the stairs and walked into her room that Christina tidied up her red tweed coat and sat down beside Charlie. “Chris went to the hospital again?” 

Charlie’s gaze was on the information booklet. He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and frowned. He said 

indifferently and without any hope, “Yes, if he doesn’t go to the hospital, where else can he go? The hospital is his home. This is a hotel to him. He has long forgotten the books you asked him to read. Don’t count on it.” 

Christina sighed. There was nothing she could do. It might really be a genetic problem. “There’s nothing we can do about it. Great-grandfather, great-grandmother, and my grandparents are all doctors. It’s just that Stella and I have mutated genes.” 

Charlie also took a similar path. However, he was not a doctor. Instead, he opened a private hospital. It was also inseparable from the word hospital. 

Noticing Charlie’s serious expression, Christina found it strange. She leaned closer to take a look. “Dad, what are you looking at?” 

Charlie took off his glasses and held them in his hand. He pinched the space between his eyebrows and handed the information to his daughter. “Christina, look at these equipment. They are much more functional than what we’re using now. They’re also much more convenient. What do you think?” 

Christina took the booklet from him. Christina had personally inspected the hospital’s equipment and discussed the pricing herself. Christina did not dare to give this responsibility to others. She did not dare to be careless when it came to saving the dying and helping the injured. “Dad, hasn’t our supply channel always been Haililand? This isn’t equipment from Haililand. The price per unit is double what we used to pay.” 

Christina quickly scanned through the equipment’s introduction and instructions. The last line stating the production location made her widen her eyes. Sapphire City? 

“Dad, where did you get this?” 

Charlie placed his glasses on coffee and crossed his legs. He said unhurriedly, “My old friend from Athana Hospital gave it to me. He said that the equipment from here is of good quality and are very functional. It’s just that the price is a little expensive. My good friend praised them and said that they have very good after-sales service. As long as there’s a little problem, they’ll send professionals over overnight to fix it. Look. Before he left, he insisted on giving me a brochure and an information booklet.” 

As he spoke, Charlie recalled the scene of his friend stuffing him with the information. For some reason, he wanted to laugh. It was as if he was a salesman. 

Christina looked at the information seriously and thought about it. A small plan appeared in her mind. She closed the booklet and smiled. “Dad, why don’t I go to the company to help you take a look now? At the same time, I’ll ask around to find out the authenticity and reliability of this company. We can’t make a hasty decision just because of a brief introduction. We still have to do a field inspection like before. If it’s really suitable, we have to discuss a collaboration between them and us, right?” 

That was true. Charlie was not stupid. There must be a reason why his daughter wanted to go on a business trip so enthusiastically. He smiled and said, “You want to escape your mother’s clutches, right?” 

Christina, who had been exposed, smiled. “Dad knows me best.” 

Charlie said earnestly, “Christina, your mother and I are indeed anxious about your marriage. Just like your mother said, you’re almost 30 years old. If you really decide not to get married or have children for the rest of your life, then we will respect your choice. If you plan to get married, grab hold of the person in front of you. Don’t always avoid the problem. Your mother is doing this for your own good.” 

See! They were all afraid that she would miss out on Joseph! That was why they were reminding her all the time! 

Christina said, “Got it. I understand. I’ll go pack my luggage now. 

“Now?” Charlie looked at his daughter’s serious face in shock. 

“That’s right. There’s no time like the present. I’m leaving.” Christina hurriedly got up and went upstairs to pack her things. 

Looking at her daughter as she left, Charlie could not help but sigh. If the girl used her decisiveness in her relationship, he might even be able to be a grandfather now. 

Christina packed her luggage very quickly. After a while, she dragged a suitcase downstairs. Charlie got up to help carry it down. His daughter did not even change her clothes. She was still wearing the red tweed coat, white wide-legged pants, and a beige sweater. 

She simply put on light makeup. Charlie instructed worriedly, “Christina, be careful. Actually, you don’t have to go now.” 

He didn’t want his daughter to work so hard either. Although he knew that his daughter had her own plans, he couldn’t bear for her to go out during Christmas. 

“Dad, don’t worry. I’ll go ask around. If it’s suitable, I’ll talk to their boss directly.” 

Charlie thought to himself, “Their boss probably is on holiday too.” 

Christina casually combed her hair. Charlie worriedly carried her suitcase and helped her stuff it into the red Mercedes-Benz. He instructed again, “Be careful. If you want to relax, you can play there for a few days. You don’t have to negotiate the price with them.” 

The door of the driver’s seat was already open. Christina bent down and entered the driver’s seat. “Dad, don’t worry. I know. 

I’ll remember the rules you set for me.” 

Because Christina was a girl, Charlie repeatedly reminded her to do business but not without principles. She had to protect herself first, then the company. 

“Drive slowly on the road. Be careful.” Charlie shouted at the back of his daughter’s car again. 

At the same moment, in the Roberts family’s villa, Joseph’s phone rang. He swiped to answer it. “Hello.” 

A minute later, he hung up the phone and began to pack his luggage quickly. He did not bring much with him when he came. When he came downstairs with his luggage, the people in the living room were stunned. 

Ava jumped down from the couch and said, “Joseph, where are you going? Are you going back?” 

The sound of the luggage rolling on the floor was unusually loud when everyone was quiet. Joseph said calmly, “Yes, there’s something going on at Sapphire City. I need to go back for a while. Dad, Mom, you can stay for a few more days. Grace, William, I’ll head back first.” 

Everyone was dumbfounded by the sudden farewell because they had not been informed in advance. They had just returned from the Wilson’s residence and did not hear Joseph mention it on the way back. 

It was all very abrupt. 

It inevitably made Emma worried. If it wasn’t a particularly urgent matter, her son wouldn’t be in such a hurry. “Did something happen to the company?” 

Daniel had the same thoughts as his wife. They knew their son’s temper too well. “I’ll go back with you.”  Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Everyone’s expressions looked complex. There was worry and nervousness. Joseph used a smile to break everyone’s anxiety. “It’s not the reason you think. The company is doing well. I went back for personal reasons. A friend decided to go to Sapphire City to visit at the last minute. I need to be a tour guide. 

Emma and Daniel were stunned. 

In that case, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. As for who his friend was, they didn’t probe further. 

Ava was more curious. “Joseph, is your friend a man or a woman?” 

Joseph patted his sister’s head dotingly. “Do you want it to be a man or a woman?” 

“Well, I sure hope it’s a girl.” 

Joseph patted her on her head. Frank, who was next to them, finally spoke up. “I’ll send you off.” 

Grace said, “Joseph, take the private plane back. We will arrange for your parents to be sent back.” 

“Thank you, Grace.” 

Grace said, “Be careful.” 

Seeing Emma’s worry, Joseph said, “Don’t worry.” 

Grace patted Emma’s shoulder to comfort her.
