Chapter 521
At the Roberts’ residence.
Ava was watching the new television drama recommended by Rose. A minute ago, Frank urged her to sleep, but the little girl refused to sleep. She fawned and said that she would just watch it for another 5 minutes.
Helpless, Frank could not dissuade her. He thought that at most, she would sleep in again tomorrow.
In the end, another 5 minutes passed. Ava thought that Frank didn’t know because he didn’t look at his watch. She secretly watched it for 5 more minutes.
Beep beep. A text message came in and interrupted Ava from watching the drama. She tapped the tablet screen and paused it. Her phone was on the bedside table beside Frank. “Frank, help me see if it’s a message from Rose.”
When Frank heard that his sister was still awake at this hour, he didn’t really want to bother with her. “Just watch your drama. Ignore her.”
“Hey. Just take a look. What if it’s something important?” Ava wheedled.
Frank thought to himself. What could possibly happen to this girl? She was pregnant but didn’t do what was right. What was Edward doing anyway? Couldn’t he do something about her?
How could Edward let her get away with doing anything?
That was what he thought in his heart, but his actual actions were the opposite. He still obediently took her phone and gave it to the young lady beside him. He received a light kiss from Ava before she smiled. “My period will stop the day after tomorrow. Heehee.”
There was nothing he could do when faced with the little girl’s cuteness. He could only rub the top of her head dotingly. “Put away the tablet. You can continue watching it tomorrow.”
“Alright.” Then, she discovered a huge secret and couldn’t control herself. She stood up from the bed and jumped happily, scaring Frank. He grabbed her leg to prevent her from falling. He still held the tablet in his hand and looked up at the little girl. “What’s wrong?”
Frank asked with a frown.
Ava sat down again. Her face was filled with joy. She could not suppress her joy. She handed the photo Ethan had sent to her to Edward. When Frank saw the photo clearly, he smiled. Joseph’s speed was a little faster than he had expected. ·
He knew that Christina would not be able to withstand Joseph’s scheming. He planned one thing after another and waited for Christina to crawl in. Once she crawled in, it would be difficult for her to come out again.
However, the little girl seemed to have potential for plotting. “You’re smart to let Ethan be a special agent.” As he spoke, he pinched the little girl’s delicate face.
Ava was overjoyed. In the photo, her brother was hugging a pretty woman. Although she could not see her face, she was 100% sure that the woman with red nails was Christina, hugging her brother’s neck.
She was so happy. She was not far from having a sister-in-law now. The more she thought about it, the happier she became. The corners of her mouth could not help but curl up. “Haha, I’m so happy. Let’s sleep.”
“Frank, hurry up. Stop using the computer and sleep with me.”
“Okay,” Frank replied. Then, he turned off the lights and hugged the little girl as he prepared to sleep. The little girl under the blanket kept touching him with her little hands happily. Frank threatened, “Stop fooling around. You don’t want your hands anymore, huh?”
With this reminder, Ava became obedient. However, under the blanket, she playfully kissed Frank’s chin, the corner of Frank’s lips, and Frank’s neck. Her giggling voice overflowed from the blanket.
In the end, her laughter was blocked by his lips and she could no longer laugh. The little girl was in a good mood and had a protective umbrella. She was especially proactive and hooked his neck to enjoy the love to the fullest. After a long kiss, Frank entered the bathroom to take a cold shower.
When he came out, the little girl had already fallen asleep sweetly. He could only lift the blanket and lie down quietly. He had picked the girl, so he could only quietly endure the torture.
After drinking, Christina was sent back to her large bedroom by Joseph. The door was opened and the signed contract was scattered on the ground.
Christina was pressed against the wall behind the door. Joseph bent down slightly and was at eye level with her. Her hands were still wrapped around his neck as she pulled him down. “Joseph, do you want to do it?”
His fingers touched her soft lips. “Christina, are you awake?”
They only had each other in their eyes. She could see herself in the depths of Joseph’s eyes. Christina nodded. They were adults, so they knew what this meant.
Joseph raised her chin with one hand to confirm again. It was also a warning. “If you want to change your mind after you’ve slept with me, only in your next life, okay?”
Christina was a little drunk, but she still had her rationality. She had her own selfish motives. She wanted to use her drunken courage to take a step forward and put aside the conflict in her heart. She wanted to give it a try. She told herself that Joseph was reliable and would not change.
She wanted to take a gamble. Sometimes, she needed to take a gamble when talking about clients, so she also wanted to take a gamble at this moment. If she lost, she could just start again.
The kiss did not come as expected. What came was only Joseph’s promise. His eyes were filled with sincerity and affection. “Christina, put down your worries and hesitation. You can entrust yourself to me. I am not the person you think I am, okay? Leave it to me.”
He guided her step by step, causing Christina to nod subconsciously. She could find trust in love. She tiptoed and respected the truest thoughts in her heart. Their lips suddenly pressed together.
Apart from the past few months of photoshopping, Christina had felt it after spending a few days together. She could feel Joseph’s love and also sense her shield breaking down bit by bit.
Seeing that she had let go of her hesitation, the corners of Joseph’s lips twitched. He held her waist, raised her chin, and leaned against the door. His kiss was not gentle. It was turbulent and he wanted to devour her inch by inch.
The warm white down jacket fell to the ground, and her body was brought around by him. His jacket also fell to the ground at the same time. Their lips were still stuck together, unwilling to part.
It was just that the initial siege had turned into gentle comfort. After taking off her coat, the off-shoulder sweater exposed the white porcelain skin on her shoulders. From the corner of her eye, she saw the man touch her with his warm lips.
Snowflakes were falling outside the window again. The cold wind blew the branches mercilessly, forcing them to sway with the snowflakes. The leaves rustled and fell to the ground, kissing the snow on the ground.
The small stones were thrown into the lake, which was already rippling a little, causing ripples that did not dissipate for a long time.
