Chatper 498


    Christina tightened her grip on the phone and leaned against the staircase at the side. She did not dare


    to go down and she thought about the oue. If Joseph said that he was at Athana after the call


    connected, their partnership might end here.


    If she did not end it there, she might cause trouble for the other party. With Angie’s straightforward


    personality, she would definitely look for Joseph to have a chat with him. Most importantly, Angie would


    be very polite when she looked for him. There was nothing wrong with her.


    Most importantly, their secret would be exposed if Angie talked to him. Christina would be beaten up


    when she got home.


    Back then, there was a woman who liked Chris. She went to the hospital every day to look for him and


    show her love to him, seriously hindering Chris’s daily life. In the end, it was Angie who investigated


    this girl overall. It would be fine if she did not investigate, but once she investigated, she found that this


    girl did not have any good merits from head to toe. Her reputation was extremely bad.


    The Yamin family hoped that the children had a lover, but they should put quality before quantity. They


    would not just randomly find one and marry her. At the very least, her values and character had to be


    good. She could be uncultured, but she had to have a good character. As a person, she had to be a


    good human first before she could do anything.


    Otherwise, if she was not a good person, could she do good deeds?


    They didn’t know what Angie said to the girl when she met her. From that day on, the girl didn’te to


    look for Chris ever again and Chris was happy again.


    Three pairs of eyes downstairs looked at Christina apprehensively, expressing their sympathy. Only


    Angie was waiting.


    Christina took a deep breath and dialed the number, which she had rarely called it. She was very


    panicked but still maintained a calm expression and tried her best to keep her voice steady. The phone


    rang a few times before it was picked


    1.


    At that time, in the Roberts family.


    Joseph had just paid the bill and stepped out of the car when the phone in his pocket rang. He picked


    up the call and stood in the courtyard without entering the living room. Behind him were Ethan and Pat,


    who were hiding and protecting him.


    There was something heavy in his hand. “Hello,” he said.


    On the other end of the phone, Christina seemed to be giving him a signal. She took a deep breath and


    asked gently, “Hey, where are you?”…..


    Upon hearing this, Joseph narrowed his eyes. His eyes were deep. His first reaction was that


    something was wrong with her. This woman had never asked such a question. Usually, she would give


    him money cleanly. This time, her voice was very strange this time. Not only was her voice strange, but


    even her actions were also strange. After the two of them had each other’s contact information, it could


    only collect money. The most he said was that he had received the money.


    In a second, he thought of the passionate gaze at the supermarket. In just a few seconds, Joseph


    figured it out. He smiled and handed the thing in his hand to Ethan and Pat. His eyes signaled them to


    take it to the house and he had to make a call. Then, he deliberately paused for a few seconds to


    create a tense atmosphere.


    After a while, he replied, “I’m overseas. Did you miss me? Do you need me toe to Athana?”


    At the Yamin family.


    The entire family held their breaths as they listened to a maic voicee from the phone. His


    voice was very pleasant, especially when he said, “Did you miss me?”


    Everyone’s expressions were different.


    This made the Yamin family’s people suddenly feel like they were true lovers. Even Angieughed


    because Joseph’s answer was wless.


    Angie believed that she had made a mistake. The usually calm Christina’s ears turned red because of


    shyness from Joseph’s teasing. She looked like the shy wife of someone as she rubbed her neck


    awkwardly and coughed politely to hide her embarrassment. “No, I just wanted to ask where you are.”


    Joseph’s maic voice continued to appear and fill the entire living room. Everyone pricked up their


    ears to hear their love words. “Alright, I’m a little disappointed. I thought you missed me. I’lle to


    look for you not long in the future.”


    Christina thought, “Is this guy an actor? Improvise?”


    “Then I’m hanging up. Don’t be too tired during the holiday. You should have a good rest. You’re just


    working too hard. Take good care of your body.” Before hanging up, Joseph instructed her carefully.


    Christina was speechless.


    Joseph’s words made Christina even more embarrassed. Her cold and little face was red. She couldn’t


    wait to hang up the phone. If this continued, she didn’t know what words this man could say. “Okay,


    bye.”


    Realizing that Christina was about to hang up, Joseph did not continue. He politely said goodbye,


    “Bye.”


    Christina was afraid that he would give her a kiss. Fortunately, he didn’t.


    After hanging up, Christina still looked at themunication record on her phone in disbelief. She felt


    that she had called the wrong number.


    “Christina, his voice is so nice. He’s so gentle and attentive.”


    Ste made exaggerated gestures and kept praising Joseph.


    Chris thought that Christina’s suitor was hired by her with money, but he did not expect it to be true. He


    was also very shocked. The person hired should not be so smart.


    He definitely didn’t know that Christina was on speaker. Chris’s sense was the same as Angie’s. It had


    always been very urate. He was sure that the man really liked Christina.

    If it was fake, then his acting skills were definitely great. Ordinary people would not have such a fast


    reaction.


    Angie finally smiled and kept saying, “Christina, this man is not bad. At least he’s meticulous and can


    show concern. The next time hees to Athana, bring him home, okay? The one you bring home


    doesn’t necessarily have to get married. As friends, he can also visit. Don’t have a conservative


    thought. If it’s suitable, you can be husband and wife. If it’s not, you can also be friends.”


    Ste thought to herself, “Mom, you’re really fashionable.”


    Christina did not want to argue with Angie about whether they were lovers and friends. She nodded


    perfunctorily and quickly turned around to go upstairs. She returned to her room and heaved a sigh of


    relief. Joseph’s words of concern kept ringing in her ears. His voice was indeed very attractive and


    pleasant to the ears.


    Ste wanted to go upstairs to gossip more, but Chris grabbed her arm and pulled her back forcefully.


    One of her slippers fell off, and she suddenly raised her voice. “What are you doing?”


    Chris asked, “What are you doing?”


    “I’ll go ask Christina and her boyfriend how far they’ve progressed. I’ll go and show some concern.” As


    Ste put on her slippers, she tried to break free from Chris’s grip, but Chris refused to let go.


    “Be careful. Christina will ask you to build blocks together. You forgot? If you like it, you can go up. I


    won’t stop you.” Chris immediately let go and deliberately waved his hand for Ste to go up.


    After hearing that, Ste did not dare to provoke Christina anymore. Last time, it was because she had


    asked Christina if her boyfriend woulde for Christmas. After that, she was punished for several


    hours. It was still unforgettable. She felt that her hands were trembling.


    She did not want to go through it again. She could not do that kind of patient work. She suspected that


    Christina had masochistic tendencies. Christina could have bought anything, but she had to buy such


    things to test her patience and meticulousness.


    At the Roberts family, after Joseph hung up the phone, he turned around and was about to enter the


    door when he saw Frank looking at him meaningfully with a faint smile. Clearly, he had heard the


    conversation just now.


    Joseph was not embarrassed. He just smiled lightly. “You are very free, right?”


    “A little. I am not busy during the holiday.” Frank continued to leanzily against the door frame and


    wanted to gossip openly.


    It was obvious that he wanted Joseph to say something. However, Joseph would not say a word about


    anything he did not want to say. Frank didn’t care and he thought, “Joseph would be able to say it


    sooner orter.”


    Because there was nota secret.


    The two of them walked in one after another. Ava sat at Grace’s side and listened to something


    seriously.


    Daniel was dragged by William to y chess as soon as he entered the door. He wanted to win!


    Joseph said, “Hello, Grace.”


    Grace turned around and smiled. “Hello, you can drink coffee with Frank.”


    “Alright, shall we go?” Joseph asked Frank, who was beside him. Frank’s gaze was fixed on Ava. This


    time, after the little girl came, she was not as clingy as before. Instead, she immediately went to


    discuss management issues with Grace.


    It was said that Ava studied business administration. She had a lot to learn, so Frank could guess what


    the little girl wanted to do.


    Alright, Ava wanted to be Frank’s best assistant. In the future, she could help him reduce his burden


    and help solve some internal problems.


    Grace was carefully exining the problem, and Ava was listening attentively. She wanted to take


    notes in her notebook. Grace smiled and said, “You want to help Frank?”


    Looking at Frank’s back as he left, Ava nodded. “Yes.”


    It was too tiring for Frank to manage such a bigpany alone. If Grace and the others were old in the


    future, Frank would have to be very busy.


    Grace said, “Did we give you pressure? Ava, if you don’t want to learn these things, you don’t have to.


    You have your outstanding major.”


    Emma did not object to Ava having such thoughts. This meant that Ava was maturing and nning for


    her and Frank’s future. She was slowly growing up and her mental state was changing. Ava was


    bing better. This was not a bad thing. Once a person wanted to work hard and study, it was a


    good thing.


    “If she wants to learn, just let her. It’s not a bad thing to learn more.”


    Grace patted the back of Ava’s hand. “Ava, if you like it, learn it. If you don’t like it, you don’t force


    yourself to learn it. There’s no need.” If Frank knew, he would be heartbroken.


    “No, Grace. At first, I didn’t understand it. After all, it was transferred from theputer to those


    theories and management. However, as time passed, I seemed to understand it. I felt a sense of


    aplishment. You can’t tell Frank that I worked hard.”


    Otherwise, Frank would be heartbroken. Ava did not tell Frank that she had applied for a second major.


    Previously, Ava did not allow Frank to go to Sapphire City because he had Ava’s schedule on his


    phone.


    Once he went to Sapphire City, her sses would not match her schedule. She was very busy and


    needed to take extra sses. She also did not have time to apany Frank. He would definitely be


    heartbroken.


    In fact, after Ava rejected him time and time again, Frank had long been suspicious. Frank had spies in


    Sapphire City. It would be clear if he called this person. Frank had just been acting with Ava.


    Frank pretended not to know. Ava wanted to act, and Frank apanied her.


    The more Grace looked at Ava, the more she liked her. Age had nothing to do with childishness, but


    maturity seemed to have something to do with true love. When one really loved someone, they would


    automatically want to change for the other party. They would be mature, understand the other


    party, and feel sorry for the other party. At this moment, Ava was like this.


    In the coffee room, Joseph picked up the coffee Frank poured and took a graceful sip. He ced the


    coffee back on the table and picked up the phone at the corner of the table to look at it.


    He held his phone in one hand and looked at it. He had earned a total of 1.6 million dors, it was 8


    photos. They started working together, he could be a rich man even if he didn’t do anything.


    How many people would be envious?
