Chapter 536
After dinner.
Before Christina could go to Joseph’s room, Ava had already enthusiastically dragged her to her room. The two men following behind felt very helpless.
At the same time, they also doted on the ladies. It was obvious that Ava welcomed her sister-in-law very much.
“Christina, look at my room. What do you think? Isn’t it beautiful?” Ava extended her hand and introduced her room. After introducing the entire room, she opened the balcony door and began to introduce the view there.
Meanwhile, Christina’s gaze was fixed on the hanging chair. Under the sunlight, the brightly shining hanging chair kept attracting her attention. She could not help but be shocked. Was it a hanging chair full of diamonds?
Was this not a little too extravagant?
The two men who followed behind naturally saw the uneasy expression on the usually calm Christina’s face. Frank leaned against the door leisurely and pressed his lips without saying anything. This was his and the little girl’s room.
Joseph asked, “You like it?”
Christina quickly shook her head. She did not dare to say that she liked it. If Joseph got one for her tomorrow, Joseph’s parents would probably have the wrong ideas. She was not a little princess anymore, and she was already past the age to like these things.
She was a little shocked and surprised, that was all. She shook her head and praised, “It’s quite good-looking. It suits Ava.” She meant between the lines that it did not suit her, which Joseph understood.
“Alright, alright. Joseph, I won’t occupy Christina anymore. Christina, come and play with me if you’re bored.”
Before she left, Christina took another look at the bed, which was filled with dolls. She gave Frank a meaningful look. Frank –hugged the dolls in his arms and lay on his side. He used his actions to answer Christina’s questions.
Joseph held the tip of his nose with one hand and hid his smile. He hugged Christina and went out. When he reached the door, Christina started to say, “Joseph, can I interview you?”
Christina did not need to say anything, and Joseph already knew what she wanted to ask. He smiled faintly and played along. “Sure, ask. I’ll definitely tell you everything I know.”
When Emma came out of her room, she bumped into the two people chatting and laughing. Her son’s face was filled with a blissful smile. “Christina, if there’s anything inappropriate or lacking, just tell Joseph and let him buy it.”
“Joseph, you hear that?”
“Got it, Mom.”
Christina nodded in gratitude. She could feel the thoughtfulness of the Turner family and the concern of her future mother-in-law.
Emma elegantly went downstairs in her slippers. Her down jacket had been changed into a shawl, and she was still wearing a plain-colored gown inside. She looked very dignified and delicate.
Looking at her future mother-in-law’s back, Christina was led by Joseph into his room. As soon as she entered, she was pressed against the door, and it was locked.
Following the sound of the lock, Christina smiled. “Mr. Turner, why don’t you tell me what you were thinking at that time? You’re so rich that you overflowed with money. Why did you take my 1.6 million dollars, huh?”
The word “huh” sounded like she wanted to settle scores with him.
Christina, who was pinned against the wall, was not afraid at all. Instead, her hands moved up bit by bit until they reached Joseph’s Adam’s apple. Her slender fingers kept teasing and moving up inch by inch. Her voice was charming and delicate.
Joseph was very indulgent towards the unmasked temptation. He did not interrupt the woman’s teasing, but a certain emotion was about to erupt in his eyes. Christina kept jumping around the edge of the volcano that was about to erupt.
He did not like to look down at Christina from above and preferred to look at her at eye level. Thus, he bent his waist slightly, and said with a slightly hoarse voice, “I’ll tell you why now.”
Just as Christina thought that Joseph was going to explain, she was suddenly lifted into the air. Before she could look around Joseph’s room, she was carried straight into the bathroom.
The bathroom door slammed shut.
Only then did she realize that Joseph’s explanation was done by action, not by mouth.
The heater in the bathroom was off the charts, spilling out of the quiet room through the crack in the door. Following that, the entire room was filled with a steamy vibe.

A few hours later, Christina was no longer in the mood to appreciate the environment of Joseph’s room. She did not even want to look at the color of the blanket. Her legs were trembling slightly. This man had used his actions to tell her why she had deliberately taken the bait.
Yes, she felt the reason, literally.
In the bathroom, Joseph said something very gangsterish. It did not match his usual image at all. It was another side of him.
In the other room, the two had a truce tonight. They just slept quietly in each other’s arms. There were dolls on both sides as if protecting them from sleeping.
The next morning.
After the six of them finished their breakfast, five of them went to the office. One of them stayed at home. After everyone left, Emma went to the greenhouse to trim the flowers and trees as usual before going to the balcony to read.
At the Turner Corporation.
