Chapter 566
Daniel helped him out of the predicament. He also did not participate in the child’s relationship. This viewpoint was the same as Emma’s. They both had the same idea. The child knew very well about relationships.
“Don’t be anxious. Fate is predestined. What will come will come. Look at Joseph and Christina. They the best examples,” he said.
In that case, Angie also thought so. One was Sapphire City, and the other was Athana. If this wasn’t fate, what was?
During the conversation, Charlie’s phone rang. It was a call from William. He picked it up, ready to brag as he spoke, “Hello, William, what is up? Jealous after receiving my message, aren’t you?”
On the other side, William chuckled in response. “I’ve already told you that our Frank is a twin. What are you bragging about so early? You’ll be the one to be jealous later.”
William, trying to save face, bluffed seriously and said, “Alright, I’m busy. I will let Frank bring the gift. I’ve doubled it.”
Charlie laughed heartily. The content of the conversation between the two didn’t quite match their ages because it was a bit childish, and he replied, “So generous of you. You’ve gone to great lengths.”
With a cunning tone, William laughed lightly and said, “Don’t worry. I don’t do loss-making business. There will be a time for you to pay back, but there might be a little interest. Bye.”
Charlie thought, ‘He really doesn’t admit defeat. Let’s see how you’ll be slapped in the face later.’
Under the table, Frank was holding the young lady’s hand, constantly squeezing it. He looked at her and inexplicably felt that Stella was pitiful as she was constantly being forced into marriage.
When he returned home in the afternoon, Frank handed the card to Ava as soon as he entered the door and said, “Baby Ava, give this card to that man’s wife.” He had forgotten about it because he was too busy last night.
Ava took the card, pinched Frank’s face, and pouted as she replied, “Call her Christina. It’s not good if Joseph hears it.”
“Hmm, I’m used to it,” Frank replied. He didn’t plan to go into Christina’s room.
“Then I’ll go up and give it to Christina,” Ava said.
“Hmm,” Frank responded.
Stella exited her room, ready to find her sister, and bumped into Ava, heads on. Then, Ava took Stella’s hand and entered Christina’s room.
Ava wanted to remind her to knock on the door, but Stella, who was quick with

her hands, had already opened the door.
Christina was inside breastfeeding, with Joseph standing by to help. Seeing that Ava had entered the room, Christina frowned slightly, and Ava hurriedly
apologized, “Sorry, Christina. I forgot to knock on the door. I’ll remember next time.”
Joseph knew it was not his sister’s fault, and it was just that Christina was not used to being watched while breastfeeding. He said nothing as he leaned over to block the view before holding the child in his arms. The little one fell asleep after feeding.
Joseph placed the child in the cradle, ready to leave the room to let the sisters chat. The issues women discuss are not suitable for men to be present.
“Christina, I’ll be downstairs. Ava, help Christina get a cushion,” Joseph said. “Oh, okay, Joseph. Don’t worry. I can take care of Christina. You go ahead,” Ava replied, waving her hand to reassure her brother.
After the door was closed, Ava got a cushion for Christina and carefully placed it behind her. Then, she put the card in Christina’s hand and said, “Christina, this is what Frank asked me to give you. It’s a gift from William for the baby.”
Both families’ children knew that their fathers and William always competed childishly. They could also guess that their father must have sent a gift when Rose was born last time; this time, it was probably a return gift.
But according to Christina’s guess, the amount would probably double. If it did not double in value, there would be no way to compete. Holding the card, she looked down, shook her head, and laughed in response, “Thank Frank for me. I’ll call William later.”
“Oh, okay,” Ava replied.
Stella took the card from her sister’s hand, looked at it, and asked, “Is having a baby so competitive now? Do they have to compare their strength? This card… William and Dad might even have to compare whose underwear is more premium in the future.”
As she spoke, she shook her head with an expression of helplessness.
Christina scolded her, “You’re getting off track. You’re always talking about competition. Stay off the internet when you’re free.”
Ava laughed openly, genuinely feeling that it wasn’t just anyone who could withstand Stella’s personality. She felt that Stella was even more unrestrained than Rose, her mouth not locked at all.
Whatever words came to mind, they had to be spoken out loud.
After leaving Christina’s room, Ava returned to her own room. She had invited Stella to go with her, but Stella tactfully declined, saying she didn’t want to be a third wheel, as it would be too bright and explosive.
Frank was on the balcony, looking at the minor courses the young lady was

taking. He only scanned a few pages before feeling a headache. The dense words made him realize how hard the young lady was working.
As soon as Ava entered the door, she saw Frank on the balcony, holding a book in one hand. Under the sunlight, he was nestled in a hanging chair, laziness to the extreme. “Do you want to sleep? There’s still some time before dinner,” Ava said.
Seeing her come in, Frank put down the book and waved to her. Ava walked over and naturally nestled in his arms as she hugged Frank’s neck. He held her waist, and the two of them nestled in the hanging chair like inseparable conjoined twins.
Her face was flat on his solid chest, playing with his collar at his chest. Ava said, “Frank.”
Frank felt content and at ease whenever he held the young lady tightly. He casually helped her tidy her hair, revealing her delicate little face as he responded, “Hmm?”
