    Joseph casually tapped his index finger on the coffee table in a rhythmic manner. Frank looked up and


    saw that Joseph seemed to be thinking of something.


    He drank coffee and watched his actions and expression with interest.


    However, Frank did not ask him what happened. Joseph held his phone and was conflicted. Combined


    with the conversation he had heard in the courtyard, Frank had most likely guessed that something was


    wrong with this non-marriage man, which meant that he might fall in love with someone.


    Frank continued to drink coffee calmly. In the living room, Ava was still seriously discussing the


    knowledge she needed with Grace. Emma quietly listened and did not disturb them or interrupt.


    After thinking for a while, Joseph sent a message. [Is the action alright? Is it going ording to your


    thought?]


    At the Yamin family.


    Christina was indeed thinking about what to do and how to define an appearance other than their


    coboration. Joseph’s words just now on the phone inexplicably appeared in her mind again.


    Joseph’s name on her phone was a “p”, which meant that he was a man who was good at making


    photos with Photoshop. It was also to prevent Angie from seeing it. A single letter made her


    imagination run wild. Even if Angie saw it, she might think that it was a shortened name.

    Christina did not sit up after reading the message. She continued to lie on the bed and typed with both


    hands. She replied politely. [Not bad. Your reaction speed is not slow. Have you studied how to act


    before?]


    After reading the message, Joseph smiled. Coincidentally, this scene was seen by Frank. He smiled


    slightly and nced at Joseph meaningfully. He was a little sure just now, but now he confirmed it. “He


    must have fallen in love with someone!” Frank thought to himself.


    Joseph replied. [You can put it that way.]


    Christina took a deep breath and did not continue to discuss whether Joseph was an actor. She


    thought for a moment and replied. [I only said to use your photo back then. Now that there’s an


    ident, I think the price should be increased. Just tell me how much money you


    need.]


    Joseph began to wonder how much money the Yamin family had. [No need. Since our previous


    cooperation was quite pleasant, you can treat this help as an additional gift for you.]


    Christina thought, “Does he consider our partnership as the supermarket offers benefits? There’s even


    an additional gift.” Christina frowned as she looked at the message. She did not know how to answer.


    She wanted to say thanks, but she also wanted to pay. Why did she be a little conflicted? [Just


    should say it. I don’t like to owe people favors. That’s a separate matter.]


    After sending it, Christina felt that it was better this way. Otherwise, she would not be able to figure it


    out.


    On the other side, Joseph did not refuse. After working with Christina so many times, he naturally


    understood her personality. She liked to be direct, he could not do the opposite. [Alright, you are a


    person who keeps your word. For businessmen, send me 777 dorster for good luck.]


    Joseph thought for a while and chose this price.


    Christina was not a pretentious person and readily agreed. [Alright, you can set the price. Don’t say


    that I’m stingy and will settle the score in the future.]


    Joseph replied. [No, Ms Yamin, you can rest assured.]


    After the discussion, Christina admired Joseph from the bottom of her heart. He was not annoying and


    was sensible. He was not greedy and his reaction speed was not slow. He was definitely good-looking.


    She ced her phone on the side of the bed and crossed her arms behind her head. She stared at the


    white ceiling.


    At night,


    After taking a shower, Avay on the bed with the book given by Grace in her hand. She read it


    seriously and flipped through the pages.


    At night, Ava didn’t even have time to look through the snacks that Joseph bought for her. Frank ced


    the snacks on a small table. He had already checked the snacks that Joseph bought. They were all the


    young girl’s favorites. Even Rose’s snacks were prepared by Joseph.


    Frank came out of the bathroom with a white towel wrapped around him. He felt a little defeated. Ava


    was devoted to her career and began to ignore some things. He lifted the nket and sat down. He


    pulled off the towel and threw it on the carpet.


    His bare chest, smooth skin, and abdominal muscles on his chest were neatly arranged. However, the


    girl who was reading


    seriously did flot even turn her head. Frank felt defeated again. “Baby Ava, what are you reading?”


    Ava was looking at something interesting and couldn’t bear to look away. “What? It’s the book Grace


    gave me. I think the book Grace gave me is a treasure. After reading it, I want to continue reading it for


    five minutes. Wash…”


    Ava didn’t want to ignore Frank. As soon as she looked up, she saw a man with hormones. His upper


    body was naked, and when he moved his legs, he realized that under the nket was also…


    She smiled and did not feel awkward. She closed the book and said sweetly, “Frank, you have taken a


    shower. Have you been working out recently? Your abs seem to have be firmer again.”


    Frank’s back stiffened. He did not say about her minor course, nor did he ask her why she wanted to


    read the book Grace gave her. He just treated it as if she liked to read. He indulged the little girl as she


    climbed onto hisp. She hooked her arms around his neck and sat restlessly.


    The temperature in the room was moderate, and Ava had a wicked smile on her face. She touched


    Frank’s body with her slender fingers, and she kept counting his abs. When her fingertips touched his


    skin, it was the beginning of a challenge, and it was full of provocation.


    His willpower was not bad.


    Ava yed for a few minutes, but Frank was still very calm. The little girl was unhappy and pouted. She


    thought, “Why doesn’t Frank miss me after such a long time? Why is he so calm?”


    Ava, who was not good at hiding her emotions, curled her lips. Frank guessed what she was thinking.


    He smiled slightly and said evilly, “Baby Ava. To be fair, it’s my turn now.”


    She was less than an inch away from him. His warm breathnded on her wless face, making her


    hand tremble. She blinked her small eyes. “What…”


    Before she could finish speaking, the lights in the master bedroom suddenly went out, leaving only the


    bright moon outside the window at night. The bright moonlight shone into the balcony and refracted


    onto the floor, emitting a white light.


    The two of them were tightly covered under the nket. From the squirming nket, one could tell that


    the two of them were still awake. They were deeply discussing the problem of the night, the problem of


    fairness, and perhaps other problems, such as missing, and love…


    In this debate match, only Ava would lose.


    Early the next morning.


    Emma, Daniel, Ava, and Joseph came to the Wilson family. They came here to greet Theo. They


    brought a lot of gifts. Theo was polite, and he also prepared gifts for Joseph and Ava.


    Joseph declined. Theo said, “Take it. I’m very old. I don’t know if I’ll have a chance to give it to you next


    year.”


    In that case, Joseph was too embarrassed to refuse. Not to mention the old people, even the young


    people could not predict what would happen tomorrow.


    After the greeting, lunch ended.


    Frank prepared some gifts and came to pick up Ava. Theo politely prepared another gift.


    Looking at the backs of the Turner family people, Theo sighed. In the end, he could not be ruthless. He


    instructed Gage beside him, “Send these two gifts to Ted.”


    When Natalie came out of the kitchen, she happened to see Theo’s back. His back had already bent a


    little, and there was an additional sense of sadness. She knew what Theo was thinking. She walked


    over and held Theo’s wrist, bringing him to the sofa. “Grandpa, if you want Ted and the others toe


    over to celebrate Christmas, Trevon and I won’t have any objections.”


    She thought, “As long as Theo is happy, it is fine. Don’t hold back his unhappiness.”


    Theo patted Natalie’s hand and said, “Every family has its own way of living. Ted more or less knows


    what Carlos did, but Ted didn’t stop him. That’s the biggest problem. His family made a mistake, so


    covering up for him is also a crime.”


    Theo thought for a moment and said, “Gage. Forget it, there’s no need to send them.” Then Theo


    thought, “Max would not thank us even if we gave gifts to him. I might as well give them to my little


    children. I am really muddle-headed.”


    “I’m really muddle-headed. I’m getting old. I can’t even think clearly anymore.”


    “How is that possible? You’re the most clear-headed person in this family. No one is as clear-headed as


    you. Didn’t you wake Trevon up?”


    Theo smiled lovingly and touched the back of his old and wrinkled hand. “That brat was woken up by


    you. I’ve stimted him for so long, but he hasn’t been clear. I’ve stimted him for two years and his

    reaction speed is very slow.”


    Natalieughed as well. She was genuinely happy.


    Theo was happy from the bottom of his heart, but he knew clearly that he didn’t have many years left to


    apany his children. People were like this. When they had nothing, it was just like asking for


    something simple. They wouldn’t starve to


    death or be bullied. However, after they ate and drank well, they would want a lot more. This was


    human nature.


    Not satisfied with the status quo.


    It was the same for Theo. When Trevon was not married and even divorced Natalie, he wanted Trevon


    to have a happy marriage and fall in love with Natalie. Now that Trevon had three children, Theo could


    not bear to leave this beautiful and warm family and wanted to apany them for a few more years.


    Every time Theo thought about that his body became bad, and he would feel a little sad. It was a


    constant reminder that he was old.


    At a golf course in Athana.


    The Roberts family came to the golf course after leaving the Wilson’s residence.


    Grace was an orphan and had no rtives to visit. William was the same. His parents had long passed


    away. Otherwise, he would not have led a tough life in society. It was quite good to not have a ce to


    visit. He was happy to be free and find a sport he liked to pass the time.


    However, after Frank got married, they might have to visit the Wilson family and the Turner family.


    Edward woulde to visit the Roberts family in the future. It would only be more and more lively


    in the future.


    “Frank, Daniel’s skills are top-notch. I admit defeat. I still have to learn from Daniel this time.”


    It was rare that William did not fight for himself on one matter and was willing to admit defeat. This also


    meant that he must have lost quite embarrassinglyst time. Otherwise, he would not have taken the


    initiative to say this this time. He was probably afraid that he would lose too badly and be embarrassed.


    Grace knew William’s personality too well. She was right. Today, the entire family went out in


    sportswear, as if they were from a big family. Joseph was in a gray sports suit, Ava was in red. Frank


    was in a cream-colored sports suit, William was in white, and Daniel was in ck.


    It was Emma’s first time wearing light blue sportswear outside. The clothes were bought by Grace. It


    was the same series as the clothes Grace was wearing, but Grace was blue.


    Grace said, “It looks pretty good.”


    Emma asked her, “Really? This is the first time I’ve worn this outside.” But it looked quitefortable.


    “Is there a ce to climb the mountain here?” Joseph asked. He didn’t like to y golf. He yed too


    much when discussing business. He was prepared to wear a hat and a mask. He wanted to sweat.


    Frank looked at a ce. “Take a car there. You can climb the mountain there.”
