Chapter 535
The car drove steadily towards the Turner Manor.
Christina kept looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window along the way, there were lush trees on both sides. She could not help but sigh in her heart. It was really a paradise.
Not to mention the beautiful scenery, it was also very comfortable to be far away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown area.
Joseph was driving. This time, Christina sat in the passenger seat.
At Athana, Joseph sat in the passenger seat. This was in accordance with what Christina had said. In Athana, Joseph was a part of Christina’s family. In Sapphire City, Christina was a part of Joseph’s family
“Do you like it?” The man driving the car asked calmly as he controlled the steering wheel with one hand and glanced at the passenger seat.
“It’s pretty good. Why is your house so remote? Do your mom and the others like seclusion?”
She thought that should be the reason why it was so far away from the city.
This was already the suburbs of the suburbs.
“No, it’s mainly because the suburbs can be built freely. There isn’t such a big empty space in the city, and it’s not enough to construct freely” Joseph sounded like he was saying something very normal.
Christina turned around and tugged at her seatbelt. She sat sideways and stared at Joseph’s handsome side face. “Is your house big?”
Joseph replied casually, “Nope. It’s just slightly bigger than a villa in the city.”
The car stopped at an entrance to the manor. There was a row of bodyguards standing at the entrance. If Joseph had not brought her in, she really would not have been able to find the entrance.
This was the first time Christina had seen such a scene. She felt like she had entered a mystic realm. “Joseph, is there something you haven’t told me, such as your family?”
Joseph only smiled and did not explain. He planned to let Christina see for herself. The car was parked in the parking lot of the manor.
Christina did not get out of the car. She looked out of the car window and then through the fence. Everything outside was surrounded by layers of fortresses formed by bodyguards.
Why did this scene seem so familiar…
In an instant.
Christina was even more certain that Joseph was not as simple as the great donor of Sapphire City or the Turner Corporation’s CEO. He must have another identity.
For example, Frank. Their starting point was rather special, so they needed layers of protection from secret bodyguards following them when they went out. What about Joseph?
After getting out of the car, the scenery of the manor once again shocked Christina’s eyes. This was a paradise. There were birds singing and fragrant flowers everywhere. There was a fountain, a pool, and a garden. No wonder Joseph said that they could construct freely.
He had really fully utilized that freedom.
However, Joseph seemed to have a misunderstanding about the word “slightly”. This place was tremendously bigger than ordinary villas, not just slightly.
Ava, who had arrived long ago, skipped out of the house and came out to welcome Christina in her slippers. “Christina, come in quickly.”
Emma was wearing a gown and a down jacket outside, walking out slowly. Daniel had gone to the company today, so he was not here. Emma said, “Christina, come in quickly. Joseph, bring your suitcase in. I’ll bring Christina in first.”
“Oh, okay.”
Frank came to the manor as if he was home. He leaned lazily against the door and looked at Christina meaningfully. Clearly, Christina’s surprise made Frank realize something. It was certain that Christina did not know that Joseph was the richest man in Sapphire City.
At the same time, Christina also decided to ask Frank about it later.
There were already a lot of seasonal fruits on the coffee table in the living room. When Emma received Joseph’s message early in the morning, she had asked the servants to prepare the room and the ingredients for dinner.
“Are you tired? Are you used to this? The house is a little far from the city. It’s more time-consuming to go to work. In the future, if you work with Joseph, you can buy a house you like in the city. You can also live here. It’s up to the two of you.”
Emma was afraid that Christina would think that this manor was too remote. After all, young people nowadays liked to sleep in at work and did not like to wake up early.
It just so happened that Christina did not have the habit of sleeping in. It was just that she had started sleeping in after being with Joseph lately. “Mrs. Turner, I’ll listen to Joseph. This place is quite good. I like it very much.”
Christina was not lying. She really liked the environment of the manor. Besides, she did not sleep in much, so she totally had enough time in the morning to make it to work.
Emma picked up a cup of water and handed it to Christina to warm her hands. “You don’t have to consider what my husband and I think. You can live as happily as you want.”
Frank had been leaning against the door and watching the conversation in the living room. When he saw Joseph enter, he only turned his body slightly and did not follow him in.
Joseph carried the luggage upstairs. Ava followed closely behind her brother. The two siblings walked side by side. From Frank’s angle, he could only see the little girl smiling brightly. He had no idea what Ava was saying to Joseph, but Joseph stopped and knocked his sister’s head.
Meanwhile, Ava stuck out her tongue and made a playful and happy promise gesture. Frank, who did not hear the conversation, roughly guessed why her little girl followed Joseph and what she said to Joseph.
It should be about Joseph’s trap and Photoshop. That was why Ava made that promise gesture.
Emma chatted with Christina for a while. Afraid that Christina would not be used to it, Emma planned to leave the place to the young people. She patted Christina’s hand and said, “I will go to the kitchen to arrange things. Take a seat first. This is your home.”
“Okay, Mrs. Turner.”
After saying that, Emma put on her coat and went straight to the kitchen. She was really worried about the kitchen and wanted to give more instructions. At the same time, she wanted to give the young people some space.
