Chapter 520
The car stopped in front of a quaint building.
Joseph turned off the engine and got out of the car. Christina unbuckled her seatbelt at the same time. Just as she was about to open the door, Joseph opened the door first. He stood outside and reached out to help her.
Christina did not argue and reached out to give him her hand. In an instant, his large hand wrapped around hers and held her hand as they got out of the car. His warm palm transmitted warmth. After getting out of the car, she wanted to let go, but she realized that the man had no intention of letting go.
Christina looked up questioningly. Joseph simply said, “The 2

Should she say that he was scheming or that he

Just like that, he led her into the restaurant. The private room had been booked long ago. It could be seen that Joseph had arranged everything in advance and had a plan. Christina indeed liked to have a plan. He was a mature man and knew what he was doing.
She didn’t like immature men who were younger than her. At the very least, it was very tiring when it came to communication.
When they arrived at the private room, Ethan and Benjamin did not enter. Instead, they waited respectfully outside.
After sitting down, Christina said, “Since the driver who drove me previously was a bodyguard, why was he still knocked down by a mediocre person like me?”
Joseph took off his jacket, then took the jacket Christina had taken off as well and put them on the hanger. He pushed up his cuffs, exposing his dark blue wristwatch in the air. He said unhurriedly, “His duty is to protect you, not counterattack.” Christina did not say anything else and seemed to understand. She took the menu offered by Joseph and expressed her gratitude. “Thank you. Do you have any recommendations Mr. Turner?”
This time, Joseph did not sit across from Christina. Instead, he naturally pulled the chair closer and sat on the side. He’ leaned closer and recommended, “This and this are not bad. Ava asks for takeouts every time. If you like them, you can order them both.”
Christina was not a wasteful person. “It’s just the two of us. We won’t be able to finish it if we over-order. Your sister is quite likable.”..
After ordering, a strand of hair fell down. Joseph couldn’t help but reach out to help her push it back. Their eyes met and the atmosphere felt ambiguous. In an instant, it was as if sparks exploded between them. Christina looked away first and subconsciously tidied her hair. Her heartbeat was slightly abnormal.
Joseph did not seem to see anything. He only curled his lips at an angle where Christina could not see. He smiled faintly and said, “Ava is more lively. She says whatever she wants. Don’t take it to heart if she does anything wrong. She doesn’t have any
bad intentions.”
“No, I like her. Joseph?”
Suddenly stopped, Joseph turned around and replied in confusion, “Huh? What?”..
“Have you wooed other women?” Christina looked at him, waiting for an answer. She did not know why she had asked. Perhaps she was selfish and wanted to hear the answer in her heart.
Joseph said with certainty, “You’re the first. Before you, I didn’t want to get married.”
She did not reply and only smiled. The dishes were served very quickly. Throughout the entire process, Joseph took care of Christina. He remembered that Christina said that she did not like to peel crabs. He rolled up the sleeves of his sweater, put on his gloves, and used a tool to pick the meat.
From the corner of her eye, she saw that this man was taking care of her. He did honest, Christina was very touched. No man had ever treated her like this.

Charlie Yamin was not very thoughtful, not to mention Chris Yamin. At the dining table, he ate his own food and left after eating. She was the one who peeled the shelled seafood for her younger siblings and put food on their plates.
However, she wasn’t sure how long Joseph’s gentleness could last. She was also a li
a little afraid. If a person ate delicacies, it would be difficult for her to accept eating pickled vegetables every day.
After dinner, Joseph even took her to a few places. They were all places that Joseph often went to when he was free. It could be considered another way to let Christina understand him.
Just like that, during the day, while Christina was waiting for Joseph to sign the contract with her, Joseph would bring her out to know more about him every day. He wanted her to let go of the hesitation and conflict in her heart without rushing her. Hejust brought her out to have fun and make her happy.
One afternoon, after Christina and Joseph finished their lunch, Angie finally couldn’t hold back her curiosity and called.
“Christina, how are you getting along with Joseph?”
Christina was not surprised that her mother already knew. There must be a reason why she did not call for so long. “Mom, as you wished.”
Angie said anxiously, “You’ve already been gone for a few days. His parents are about to go back, but the two of you aren’t together yet. Didn’t the two of you already get to know each other for a long time? Now, you’ve already gone to Sapphire City to get to know each other. Haven’t you gotten to know each other well enough?”
Christina sighed. “Mom, it’s not a bad thing for me to know more.”
Her parents didn’t know that Joseph was the boss of the equipment company. Christina hadn’t mentioned it yet, nor had she told her parents about the series of events in Sapphire City. Angie said, “I’m telling you, since he’s a professor, he might be a little held back when it comes to courtship. If you like him, you can ignore gender and take the initiative first.” \
Christina, “…” Was she a wolf? However, sometimes when she saw Joseph, she did have the urge to pounce on him. Perhaps she had been single for too long.
