Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon) novel Chapter 508

Chapter 508

After Grace’s introduction, both parties nodded politely.

Emma’s temperament always made people’s eyes light up. Angie looked at her for a few more seconds. Emma was wearing a simple gown and a shawl with a pair of house footwear.

She appeared elegant and amiable, and made people want to get close to her.

They sat down on the couch. Grace signaled to the servants.

Not long after, the servants brought a lot of things from the kitchen to entertain the Yamin family.

Angie expressed her gratitude and glanced at the stairs. “Thank you. Is Frank not up yet?”

Grace replied, “Yes. When he doesn’t go to work, he usually sleeps in. It’s good.”

Throughout the conversation, the Turner family couple had been reading a book and reading the news of Athana after greeting them. They were so polite that it made people feel embarrassed to say anything.

Angie thought that it was no wonder that the Turner family managed to produce a son who was a university professor. His entire family looked especially cultured and composed. They had a demeanor that not many would have.

William was especially happy. He was so smug that he bragged to Charlie’s face. “Gracie dotes on Ava more than me. But it is no big deal as long as Ava is happy.”

It was not a big deal to sleep in. If they slept in, it meant the possibility of having a grandson or a granddaughter would be greater.

William was overjoyed.

A moyément at the door made the six people on the couch turn their heads. It was Joseph. He came in wearing a white tracksuit. There was a white towel around his neck, and sweat was running down his face.

He stepped into the living room. As he was about to wipe his sweat with a towel in one hand, he realized he was stared at by six pairs of eyes. When he saw the faces of the other two, Joseph was surprised.

His investigation said that Christina’s mother was direct and smart. Well, that seemed to be true. She appeared quite direct. She only took a look at him last night and came to the Roberts family early in the morning.

Joseph remained calm. He nodded politely at everyone and went straight upstairs, as though nothing had happened and he

didn’t know the Yamin family.

The moment she saw Joseph, Angie was almost petrified. Wasn’t he the man in the photos her daughter had shown her?

It turned out that he was the Roberts family’s relative. She had been looking for him for a long time, but he was actually very close to them.

However, he looked much better in person than in the photos. It was just that he was not very photogenic. The photos did not show this young man’s extraordinary temperament at all.

The Roberts family had always been very picky when it came to judging people. If the Turner family could be in-laws with them, it meant that their characters were impeccable.

Christina was too insensible. She had been considering such a boy for so long. If the women in Athana saw him, Christina would not have a chance.

Angie thought about it, but she could not bear to remove her gaze from the stairs. Charlie elbowed his wife, who had lost her composure.

As she was pulled back to reality, Charlie also discovered that Joseph was the person in his daughter’s photos. He was afraid that his wife would rush forward just now, but fortunately, she was still calm.

Upstairs, Joseph did not enter the room to take a shower immediately. Instead, he stood at the corner and turned on the phone’s camera to zoom in on the living room and take a photo.

Looking at the photo he had just taken, his lips curled into a smile. He wondered if Christina would still be able to remain calm when she saw the photo.

He sent the photo he had just taken to Christina. There was no postscript.

At the same moment, Christina, who had just returned from her run, stood next to the shoe cabinet to change her shoes. There was no one in the living room. There was no doubt that her sister was sleeping and her brother had gone to the hospital.

Where did her parents go so early in the morning?

As she walked into the living room while changing her shoes, she asked the servant, “Where are my mother and father?”

The servant replied respectfully, “Miss, they seem to have gone out to visit!”

“Visit?” Hadn’t they already visited their relatives yesterday?

The phone in her pocket suddenly rang. Christina stopped asking where her parents had gone and waved for the servant to leave. She sat down on the couch to rest for a while.

She took out her phone to check. It would have been better if she hadn’t seen it. When she saw the photo, the glass of water in her hand spilled all over her pants, leaving her hands covered in water. Water dripped onto the ground from her fingertips.

Even the air seemed to be still. After looking at the photo, Christina could not say a word. She stared blankly at the photo sent by Joseph and was so shocked that she could not utter a word.

Her parents had gone to the Roberts family in the morning without a word and had even met Joseph. It was over.

In the end, she had overestimated herself and underestimated her mother. She had thought that the deception would be flawless, but who knew that her mother had long harbored doubts? If her mother was a character in a television show, she would be one of those who managed to survive till the last episode.

Christina was certain that her mother would punish her when she returned. There was no point in chasing her to the Roberts family now.

She took a tissue to wipe the water off her hands and shook the water off her pants. She picked up her phone and replied, [I’m sorry for causing you trouble. I’ll explain it to them.]
