Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon) novel Chapter 513

Chapter 513

In the Roberts family’s living room, everyone was staring at Daniel’s phone call with burning eyes.

By the time he hung up, the people in the living room had already understood why Joseph had rushed back. Ava had yet to

react to Daniel’s words.

She was both surprised and shocked.

Sitting on the sofa with one hand on her knee, she pondered and muttered softly to herself, “So Joseph went to chase after Christina. Then, Christina went to Sapphire City. How did Joseph know?”

Frank felt that the little girl’s question was very good. He could not help but touch her neck. He did not answer her question, but the others more or less knew the reason. He casually said the most fake excuse, “Maybe Christina told him.”

Ava continued to hold her chin and think. It made sense for Frank to say that. After all, Christina went to Sapphire City, the place where Joseph was born and raised.

The corners of her lips curled up, and her eyes were filled with joy. “Alright, then we’ll wait here for Joseph’s good news.”

Frank pinched the little girl’s ear and said with a smile, “That depends on Joseph’s speed.”

Grace continued to pat Emma’s hand to comfort her. “Don’t worry, Joseph has his own way of doing things.”

Emma was not worried that her son would not know his limits. At most, she was afraid that her son would not understand his feelings and make the wrong decision.

After returning from Xaynum, Christina did not waste any time. She felt that it would be a waste/not to explore the exotic culture of the foreign country. This trip was spontaneous, as her father had mentioned it casually. It was uncertain whether she would succeed or not. The timeline was not tight and the tasks were not burdensome, so she was not that anxious.

Instead, she wanted to relax. If she made an appointment and did not see the boss, she would continue tomorrow.

After discussing so many businesses, which boss did not rely on their charisma? Which boss did not put on some airs? To Christina, this situation was very normal.

She hailed a taxi from the company to the mall in Sapphire City and started shopping alone.

When she walked into Sapphire City’s mall, she quite liked the environment.

All the luxury brands were placed on the top floor of the building. Those with relatively low prices were placed on the first to fifth floors. They did not restrict people with limited conditions to enter this building.

She was suddenly interested and wanted to walk around floor by floor. The buildings in Sapphire City had their own unique architectural style, and every building had removed the “14th” and “4th” floors. It could be said that they had gotten rid of the unlucky numbers. This building only had 16 floors, and the top floor was a cafe.

Christina discovered a special point. The people here liked to make full use of the roof. Sapphire Hotel was the same. The top floor was also a sunny recreation area.

Starting from the first floor for a shopping spree, Christina did not assume that inexpensive items were not of good quality. Sometimes, hidden treasures could be found among them. Christina had no self-torture tendencies, so she planned to explore a few floors and then buy a pair of flat shoes she liked at her favorite shoe store. Otherwise, her legs would hurt too much to walk tomorrow.

After shopping for a full three hours, she bought a lot of things. It was not convenient to carry them back, so she opened an errand app and called an errand boy to send the things in her hand back to the hotel.

The moment she turned her head, she felt that someone was following her. However, when she turned her head again, she did not see anyone. She narrowed her eyes and frowned.

However, she did not think too much about it and continued shopping.

When she reached the entrance of a branded fountain pen shop, Christina’s footsteps froze. She wanted to go in, so she did. Under the transparent glass display case were expensive fountain pens. Under the light, the pens glowed.

Christina’s finger swiped across the display case, following a straight line all the way to a fountain pen with a golden body. Her footsteps stopped, and Joseph’s face appeared in her mind in a second.

Yes, the first thing she thought of when she entered this shop was that Joseph was a university professor. She actually wanted to buy a fountain pen for him.

This golden pen was very dazzling and very gentlemanly. Christina felt that it suited Joseph very well. The counter staff quickly understood her intentions from her expression. She could tell that Christina liked this pen and took it out with gloves.

The counter staff introduced the pen, even taking a piece of white paper and writing on it with the golden fountain pen. The puke white paper was lightly dyed by the tip of the pen. Every word fell on the paper as if a musical note was beating

Christina could not help but ask to wear gloves to hold the pen. The pen was of normal length and felt very comfortable to

 

hold. She bought it generously without asking for the price.

When she was still wondering if she should send it out, she bought it and swiped her bank card.

Christina had always been a person who followed her heart. She would not endure it and hide her feelings. If she liked something, she would bring it back home. Regardless of whether she could use it in the future, at least when she thought of it, she would not regret it. She did not want herself to feel like she should have bought the item back if she had known earlier.

If it was useless, then she could place it at home and scold herself for having bought it.

When Christina walked out of the building, the sky was already dark. She had stayed in the mall for an entire day, eating and shopping. She had another bag full of spoils of war in her hands.

Coincidentally, when she came out, a taxi stopped in front of her. The driver rolled down the window and asked, “Miss, are you leaving? I happen to have an empty car.”

After walking for a day, Christina could not wait to go back and rest. “Okay, send me to Sapphire Hotel. Thank you.”

The driver was a young man and was very straightforward. “Okay.” As he spoke, he slipped out of the car and opened the trunk to help Christina put the things in.

After getting into the car, no one said anything. They were silent all the way until the car arrived at the hotel. The driver helped take the things down and said goodbye and thank you.
