Chapter 498
Christina tightened her grip on the phone and leaned against the staircase at the side. She did not dare to go down and she thought about the outcome. If Joseph said that he was at Athana after the call connected, their partnership might end here.
If she did not end it there, she might cause trouble for the other party. With Angie’s straightforward personality, she would definitely look for Joseph to have a chat with him. Most importantly, Angie would be very polite when she looked for him. There was nothing wrong with her.
Most importantly, their secret would be exposed if Angie talked to him. Christina would be beaten up when she got home.
Back then, there was a woman who liked Chris. She went to the hospital every day to look for him and show her love to him, seriously hindering Chris’s daily life. In the end, it was Angie who investigated this girl overall. It would be fine if she did not investigate, but once she investigated, she found that this girl did not have any good merits from head to toe. Her reputation was extremely bad.
The Yamin family hoped that the children had a lover, but they should put quality before quantity. They would not just randomly find one and marry her. At the very least, her values and character had to be good. She could be uncultured, but she had to have a good character. As a person, she had to be a good human first before she could do anything.
Otherwise, if she was not a good person, could she do good deeds?
They didn’t know what Angie said to the girl when she met her. From that day on, the girl didn’t come to look for Chris ever again and Chris was happy again.
Three pairs of eyes downstairs looked at Christina apprehensively, expressing their sympathy. Only Angie was waiting.
Christina took a deep breath and dialed the number, which she had rarely called it. She was very panicked but still maintained a calm expression and tried her best to keep her voice steady. The phone rang a few times before it was picked
At that time, in the Roberts family.
Joseph had just paid the bill and stepped out of the car when the phone in his pocket rang. He picked up the call and stood in the courtyard without entering the living room. Behind him were Ethan and Pat, who were hiding and protecting him.
There was something heavy in his hand. “Hello,” he said.
On the other end of the phone, Christina seemed to be giving him a signal. She took a deep breath and asked gently, “Hey, where are you?”…..
Upon hearing this, Joseph narrowed his eyes. His eyes were deep. His first reaction was that something was wrong with her. This woman had never asked such a question. Usually, she would give him money cleanly. This time, her voice was very strange this time. Not only was her voice strange, but even her actions were also strange. After the two of them had each other’s contact information, it could only collect money. The most he said was that he had received the money.
In a second, he thought of the passionate gaze at the supermarket. In just a few seconds, Joseph figured it out. He smiled and handed the thing in his hand to Ethan and Pat. His eyes signaled them to take it to the house and he had to make a call. Then, he deliberately paused for a few seconds to create a tense atmosphere.
After a while, he replied, “I’m overseas. Did you miss me? Do you need me to come to Athana?”
At the Yamin family.
The entire family held their breaths as they listened to a magnetic voice come from the phone. His voice was very pleasant, especially when he said, “Did you miss me?”
Everyone’s expressions were different.
This made the Yamin family’s people suddenly feel like they were true lovers. Even Angie laughed because Joseph’s answer was flawless.
Angie believed that she had made a mistake. The usually calm Christina’s ears turned red because of shyness from Joseph’s teasing. She looked like the shy wife of someone as she rubbed her neck awkwardly and coughed politely to hide her embarrassment. “No, I just wanted to ask where you are.”
Joseph’s magnetic voice continued to appear and fill the entire living room. Everyone pricked up their ears to hear their love words. “Alright, I’m a little disappointed. I thought you missed me. I’ll come to look for you not long in the future.”
Christina thought, “Is this guy an actor? Improvise?”
“Then I’m hanging up. Don’t be too tired during the holiday. You should have a good rest. You’re just working too hard. Take good care of your body.” Before hanging up, Joseph instructed her carefully.
Christina was speechless.
Joseph’s words made Christina even more embarrassed. Her cold and little face was red. She couldn’t wait to hang up the phone. If this continued, she didn’t know what words this man could say. “Okay, bye.”
Realizing that Christina was about to hang up, Joseph did not continue. He politely said goodbye, “Bye.”
Christina was afraid that he would give her a kiss. Fortunately, he didn’t.
After hanging up, Christina still looked at the communication record on her phone in disbelief. She felt that she had called the wrong number.
“Christina, his voice is so nice. He’s so gentle and attentive.”
Stella made exaggerated gestures and kept praising Joseph.
Chris thought that Christina’s suitor was hired by her with money, but he did not expect it to be true. He was also very shocked. The person hired should not be so smart.
He definitely didn’t know that Christina was on speaker. Chris’s sense was the same as Angie’s. It had always been very accurate. He was sure that the man really liked Christina.
If it was fake, then his acting skills were definitely great. Ordinary people would not have such a fast reaction.
