Chapter 565
Emma couldn’t comment on that kind of thing. Whether it was the relationships of her son or daughter, she had always adhered to the principle of not getting involved.
Seeing that her daughter was displeased, Angie said, “How can you still not be satisfied? You shouldn’t count on your brother. If you count on him to get
married first, you’ll be a nun for the rest of your life.”
Stella was trying to save her brother and get herself out of the predicament at the same time. She told her mother not to turn her sights on her and started to give a speech. “Mom, look. Chris is so outstanding. How can he be a bachelor? I really don’t think we can just give up on him like that.”
Seeing the few of them narrow their eyes at her, Stella coughed dryly and continued to bluff, “I think Chris can still be saved. He’s not as bad as you think yet. We can try to help him get back on track. Look at how cute Christina’s baby is. Even if you don’t want a grandson or granddaughter, I still want a nephew or niece. Look at Ava. She has numerous nieces and nephews. How perfect is that? I only have a nephew now.”
Stella counted with her fingers.
Natalie was stunned when she heard this. “Isn’t this kind of persuasion a little too obvious?” she thought.
Emma and Natalie looked at each other and smiled. Neither of them spoke. They planned to let Stella continue her performance.
In order not to be pimped out by her mother, Stella put in her best in her effort to get away. “Mom, tell me if what I said makes sense. Chris is actually very outstanding. Look. He has it all. Culture and capability. He even has the perfect job. It’s just that he is a little dumb at times. That is not a fault at all. Look. Doesn’t Natalie also cure Trevon’s arrogance? There will always be a cure for a flaw. Isn’t that what they say? You have to match the medicine to the illness. Chris’s medicine is definitely still on the way.”
Emma was amused by Stella’s words. Stella spoke matter-of-factly. Now that Stella was working under Leia, she spoke more and more like her. She did not even pause when she spoke.
Angie naturally noticed her daughter’s improvement. “You’ve been with Leia for so long, but I haven’t noticed anything else except you’ve become quite eloquent. You can just come up with a speech on the spot.”
Stella thought to herself, “That’s right. The speed of Ms. March, when she speaks, is one of the fastest. No matter what, she is my teacher. I learn a little from her.”
Leia had said that the most important thing about intimidating others was speed. One had to make their arguments continuously before the others could react.

“Didn’t you and Christina ask me to study hard with Ms. March? I’m just listening to you guys. If I don’t improve at all, Christina will scold me again. Mom, you really should consider my suggestion. Seriously, my brother is such a good person. He’s so outstanding.” Stella sighed inwardly. It was the first time in more than 20 years that she sang her brother’s praises like that.
After saying that, Stella winked at Natalie, indicating that she had succeeded. Natalie smiled and did not know what to say.
Angie was a little persuaded by her daughter. As parents, no one wanted their children to remain single forever. She didn’t want Chris to have to celebrate Single’s Day every year.
“But there’s nothing I could do about him. Your brother is holed up in the hospital every day. It’s not like he will pick up a wife if he goes on a walk around the street. Or do you think that one will fall from the sky?”
Besides, it was possible to pick up money from the ground. A wife, on the other hand, was not a possibility.
Stella spoke mysteriously and with a special gaze as if she could predict the future. “Fate, Mom, do you know fate? I predict that my brother’s fate is not far away. Mom, don’t be anxious. When we get back to Athana, I’ll help you pay more attention.”
How could Angie not know what her daughter was thinking? She just couldn’t be bothered to expose her. “Alright, alright. If you help your brother become normal, I can even call you my sister.”
Hearing this, Natalie burst out laughing. From her words, it could be seen that Angie was really anxious about Chris’s marriage.
“No, I’d better still call you Mom.” Stella was afraid of being struck by lightning if her mother decided to call her sister. As long as Angie didn’t drag her towards the altar, it was fine. She didn’t have any other requests. She didn’t have any
extravagant hopes for working at the front desk anymore. After all, she couldn’t go back to her old post.
The next morning, everyone went to send Natalie and Trevon. Jasper brought all the toys given by Ava and Frank. The little guy had the most gains out of the trip. He ate delicious food and had fun.
After sending off Natalie and the others, Joseph took Frank and the Yamin family to tour Sapphire City. In the afternoon, Joseph left. He wanted to go back and see Christina.
Joseph had done his homework about pregnancy and childbirth. The biggest problem he was afraid of was Christina becoming depressed after giving birth. Girls like Stella who liked to slack off would not be in danger of that. However, Christina was different. She liked to live a fulfilling life, but she was the most free during her postpartum recovery. She ate, slept, and slept and ate. She would keep an eye on her child every day. Once she took things too seriously, she

would have a tendency to be depressed.
The meticulous Joseph would always want to accompany her and tease her. At the same time, he would chat about what happened every day. Or he would bring his work home and accompany Christina during her postpartum recovery. They would sit on the bed and deal with work together. Christina would watch him work and he would occasionally let Christina participate.
It could be said that he put in a lot of effort.
Daniel was afraid of neglecting Angie and Charlie. In the afternoon, he asked his daughter to send their location and personally accompanied Angie and Charlie to tour Sapphire City.
At the same time, Trevon and Natalie arrived at Athana off. When Jim received Trevon’s message, he immediately came to the airport to wait for them.
He didn’t want to be caught in a traffic jam and have his salary deducted. Jim believed that Trevon was hormonal and erratic after marriage as in the previous years. It was something that only Natalie could treat.
“I’ll handle everything, Mrs. Wilson. Give me this too.” Jim took the stuff from Natalie.
