Chapter 537
The next morning.
Christina and Joseph went to register their marriage. After registering, she sent her love witness in the two group chats.
One was from the Yamin family group chat, while the other was the group Natalie had created.
The two groups instantly exploded. Christina did not even know which one to reply to. Without waiting for her to consider, Angie called directly. “Your cert is real, right? You didn’t get a fake cert, right?”
Her voice was so loud that even Joseph, who was in the driver’s seat, heard and laughed. Fortunately, he did not tell his mother-in-law that the previous photos were fake. Otherwise, Christina’s credibility would be even lower.
Christina rubbed her temples helplessly and promised, “Mom, it’s more real than pure gold. Don’t worry.”
Hearing this, Angie was overjoyed. The sound of her slapping her thigh could be heard through the call. “Oh my, that’s great. You’ve finally figured it out. I was so worried about your marriage that I couldn’t sleep well, but I can finally sleep well tonight. If you don’t want to hold a wedding, I’m fine with it, but since we’re quite close with the neighbors, I’ll buy some wedding candies in the afternoon to send them some. You don’t need me to remind you about your next mission, right? You know what to do, don’t you? I’ll remind you again. You’re almost 30 years old.”
With one goal achieved, Angie subtly hinted at the next goal.
Christina took a deep breath. She placed one hand on the car window and rubbed her temples. “Mom, can you give me a break? I’m already speeding.”
“So what if you’re speeding? I’ll pay the ticket for you. So, just speed without a worry in the world,”
Upon hearing this, Christina did not know whether to laugh or cry. She could not continue chatting with her mother. If they continued chatting, they would probably be talking about the child’s name soon. Christina hurriedly found an excuse and said that she had something to do.
Only then did Angie hang up the call after reminding Christina to hurry up and get a child.
A pleasant voice came from beside Christina. Joseph’s sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and the air conditioner in the car was at a comfortable temperature. The blue dial on his wrist flickered with light, and his lips curled into a faint smile as he said, “Is your mom in a hurry about the child?”
Christina continued to support herself with one hand on the car window. Her fingers dug into her hair as she rubbed it. Being urged to get married was not the most awkward. Being urged to have children was. She touched her ear stud and said, “She’s just too free.”
“If you want, we can try harder tonight. We should be able to complete her mission.”
“Joseph, why do I feel that you’re becoming more and more, you know, that?” For some reason, she recalled a certain man’s perverted words last night.
“Every time I see the photo, I want to do you.” This sentence had often appeared in Christina’s mind these past few days. Combined with the man’s energy at night, she indeed felt that it was very in line with his animalistic nature.
This man would transform into an animal at night.
His smile was extremely charming. As the rays of sunlight shone into the car, he said casually, “That’s love.”
Joseph knew when to stop and did not continue to talk about this. He changed the topic. “Do we need to distribute wedding candies in Athana even if we’re not holding a wedding there? If we do, I’ll get Trevon to prepare and let him distribute them for Mom.”
He started to call Angie “Mom” quite soon.
Christina sat sideways. “This depends on the person. You can understand it as Mom wanting to make a comeback. While distributing wedding candies, she also wants to show off. Her three children have always been single, so it’s inevitable that there will be gossip. My mother has probably heard too much. Now that she sees that I’m married, with her unwillingness to admit defeat, she has to make a comeback.”
Since his mother-in-law was aggrieved and had such a request, Joseph, of course, was going to fulfill it unconditionally. Without hesitation, he found Trevon’s number on the screen and dialed it. The person on the other end of the line should be in the company.
“Joseph.” The surroundings were very quiet. Not a single sound could be heard.
Trevon’s deep voice reverberated in the car. No emotions could be detected.
Joseph glanced at the time on the screen and guessed, “In a meeting?”
“Yeah. What is it?” Trevon said calmly. At the same time, he gestured to stop the person who was reporting.
Joseph finally used his status as Trevon’s big brother and said, “Tell someone to help me buy some high-end wedding candy gift boxes and distribute them to the Yamin family’s villa area.”
There was a few seconds of silence.
Trevon thought that he had misheard. After thinking about it, he realized that there was no way Joseph would be bored enough to make such a joke. The only explanation was that since Joseph and Christina had registered their marriage, Joseph was prepared to use his strength to help his mother-in-law turn things around.
Trevon did not show any surprise, nor did he refuse. “Alright. Any specific requirement regarding the wedding candy?”
Joseph believed that Trevon could arrange it. There was no need to say anything. “You arrange it.”
Christina thought, “Arrange what? Letting Trevon’s people send wedding candies is already the best way to turn things around for Mom. Joseph’s really smart to think of this move. Trevon has no other choice but to accept this job. After all, he is Joseph’s brother-in-law.
Just as Christina expected, Trevon agreed. “Okay, I’ll make the arrangements after the meeting. I’ll make them today.”
The call ended, and the meeting continued.
In the car.
Christina could not help but admire Joseph. “Only you can command Trevon. Ordinary people can’t command him.” Her mother would probably be so overjoyed that she could not sleep at night.
Then, Joseph asked Christina about what Emma had told him to ask before they left the house. Emma had asked his son to ask Christina if she wanted to buy a marital home. If Christina did, she would let his son take Christina to choose it, mainly focusing on what Christina liked. If Christina wanted to live in the manor, she would decorate the house,
“Christina, do
you want to live with Mom and Dad, or do you want us to buy a house alone?”
In a second, Christina thought of the word “home” and said with certainty, “I quite like Dad and Mom, and I also like the
manor.”
Joseph understood what she meant and thanked her sincerely. “Thank “There’s no need to be polite between us, Hubby.”
you,
Christina.”
Joseph stretched out a hand and held the steering wheel with one hand. He interlocked his fingers with Christina’s and held them tightly. The emotional fluctuations between the two of them could be clearly felt from their warmth.
In the afternoon, at Athana.
Trevon put quite a lot of effort into it. He personally brought Jim and a group of bodyguards to the Yamin family’s villa.
The wedding candies were unloaded by a group of bodyguards. Then, he asked the bodyguards to knock on every door and explain that it was the wedding candy of the Yamin family’s eldest daughter.
Meanwhile, Trevon looked like a model on the platform, wearing a black suit and did not have a thick coat to keep him warm. His figure was smooth, and his eyes were fixed on a certain spot.
He stood upright by the car and leisurely ate the lemon candy. His eyes narrowed in the sourness.
Jim stood at the side and ordered the bodyguards, “Take these over there. You guys, go over there and distribute them. Don’t miss anything. If the owner is not home, hang the candies on the door handle and stuff the prepared note. If there’s anyone who doesn’t know about Ms. Yamin’s wedding tomorrow, those of you who are in charge of that house are responsible for explaining personally tomorrow.”
