Chatper 513


    In the Roberts family’s living room, everyone was staring at Daniel’s phone call with burning eyes.


    By the time he hung up, the people in the living room had already understood why Joseph had rushed


    back. Ava had yet to


    react to Daniel’s words.


    She was both surprised and shocked.


    Sitting on the sofa with one hand on her knee, she pondered and muttered softly to herself, “So Joseph


    went to chase after Christina. Then, Christina went to Sapphire City. How did Joseph know?”


    Frank felt that the little girl’s question was very good. He could not help but touch her neck. He did not


    answer her question, but the others more or less knew the reason. He casually said the most fake

    excuse, “Maybe Christina told him.”


    Ava continued to hold her chin and think. It made sense for Frank to say that. After all, Christina went


    to Sapphire City, the ce where Joseph was born and raised.


    The corners of her lips curled up, and her eyes were filled with joy. “Alright, then we’ll wait here for


    Joseph’s good news.”


    Frank pinched the little girl’s ear and said with a smile, “That depends on Joseph’s speed.”


    Grace continued to pat Emma’s hand tofort her. “Don’t worry, Joseph has his own way of doing


    things.”


    Emma was not worried that her son would not know his limits. At most, she was afraid that her son


    would not understand his feelings and make the wrong decision.


    After returning from Xaynum, Christina did not waste any time. She felt that it would be a waste/not to


    explore the exotic culture of the foreign country. This trip was spontaneous, as her father had


    mentioned it casually. It was uncertain whether she would seed or not. The timeline was not tight


    and the tasks were not burdensome, so she was not that anxious.


    Instead, she wanted to rx. If she made an appointment and did not see the boss, she would


    continue tomorrow.


    After discussing so many businesses, which boss did not rely on their charisma? Which boss did not


    put on some airs? To Christina, this situation was very normal.


    She hailed a taxi from thepany to the mall in Sapphire City and started shopping alone.


    When she walked into Sapphire City’s mall, she quite liked the environment.


    All the luxury brands were ced on the top floor of the building. Those with rtively low prices were


    ced on the first to fifth floors. They did not restrict people with limited conditions to enter this


    building.


    She was suddenly interested and wanted to walk around floor by floor. The buildings in Sapphire City


    had their own unique architectural style, and every building had removed the “14th” and “4th” floors. It


    could be said that they had gotten rid of the unlucky numbers. This building only had 16 floors, and the


    top floor was a cafe.


    Christina discovered a special point. The people here liked to make full use of the roof. Sapphire Hotel


    was the same. The top floor was also a sunny recreation area.


    Starting from the first floor for a shopping spree, Christina did not assume that inexpensive items were


    not of good quality. Sometimes, hidden treasures could be found among them. Christina had no self-


    torture tendencies, so she nned to explore a few floors and then buy a pair of t shoes she liked at


    her favorite shoe store. Otherwise, her legs would hurt too much to walk tomorrow.


    After shopping for a full three hours, she bought a lot of things. It was not convenient to carry them


    back, so she opened an errand app and called an errand boy to send the things in her hand back to the


    hotel.


    The moment she turned her head, she felt that someone was following her. However, when she turned


    her head again, she did not see anyone. She narrowed her eyes and frowned.


    However, she did not think too much about it and continued shopping.


    When she reached the entrance of a branded fountain pen shop, Christina’s footsteps froze. She


    wanted to go in, so she did. Under the transparent ss disy case were expensive fountain pens.


    Under the light, the pens glowed.


    Christina’s finger swiped across the disy case, following a straight line all the way to a fountain pen


    with a golden body. Her footsteps stopped, and Joseph’s face appeared in her mind in a second.


    Yes, the first thing she thought of when she entered this shop was that Joseph was a university


    professor. She actually wanted to buy a fountain pen for him.


    This golden pen was very dazzling and very gentlemanly. Christina felt that it suited Joseph very well.


    The counter staff quickly understood her intentions from her expression. She could tell that Christina


    liked this pen and took it out with gloves.


    The counter staff introduced the pen, even taking a piece of white paper and writing on it with the


    golden fountain pen. The puke white paper was lightly dyed by the tip of the pen. Every word fell on the


    paper as if a musical note was beating


    Christina could not help but ask to wear gloves to hold the pen. The pen was of normal length and felt


    veryfortable to


    hold. She bought it generously without asking for the price.


    When she was still wondering if she should send it out, she bought it and swiped her bank card.


    Christina had always been a person who followed her heart. She would not endure it and hide her


    feelings. If she liked something, she would bring it back home. Regardless of whether she could use it


    in the future, at least when she thought of it, she would not regret it. She did not want herself to feel like


    she should have bought the item back if she had known earlier.


    If it was useless, then she could ce it at home and scold herself for having bought it.


    When Christina walked out of the building, the sky was already dark. She had stayed in the mall for an


    entire day, eating and shopping. She had another bag full of spoils of war in her hands.


    Coincidentally, when she came out, a taxi stopped in front of her. The driver rolled down the window


    and asked, “Miss, are you leaving? I happen to have an empty car.”


    After walking for a day, Christina could not wait to go back and rest. “Okay, send me to Sapphire Hotel.


    Thank you.”


    The driver was a young man and was very straightforward. “Okay.” As he spoke, he slipped out of the


    car and opened the trunk to help Christina put the things in.


    After getting into the car, no one said anything. They were silent all the way until the car arrived at the


    hotel. The driver helped take the things down and said goodbye and thank you.


    When she arrived at the front desk, Christina asked, “Hello, I’m a customer here. Did you receive the


    things I sent an errand boy to bring back?”


    The receptionist replied politely, “Yes, Miss. You have a lot of things. I’ll arrange for someone to send


    them up for you.”


    “Thank you.”


    Christina did not force herself to carry all the things up to her room. She felt that the service in this hotel


    was not bad.


    When she returned to her room, she looked at the pile of gifts, boxes, and various brands on the floor.


    Christina was too tired and was not in the mood to tidy them up. She took off her coat, turned on the air


    conditioner, and casually tied her hair up. Everything could wait until she had taken a shower.


    20 minutester, Christina came out of the bathroom wearing bright red silk pajamas. Her curly hair


    was tied into a loose bun, and her face was still covered with a face mask. Her hands constantly


    rubbed hand cream on her hands.


    With one-hand on her waist, she gently leaned against the wine cab, thinking about how to deal


    with these bags. She seemed to have forgotten to buy a luggage. How could she have forgotten the


    most important thing?


    At this moment, the doorbell rang. Feeling puzzled as she had not ordered room service, she walked


    over to open the door. The door opened and two white suitcases were pushed in.


    Without waiting for Christina to speak, the person with the hotel manager’s name tag spoke first. He


    also sized up Christina. “Hello, Miss. Our hotel discovered that you bought a lot of things in the


    afternoon. Since it’s your first time staying in our hotel, we’ll give you two suitcases as a token of our


    hotel’s appreciation. We hope you cane and stay again next time.”


    Hearing this, Christina was stunned for a moment. This was the first time she had encountered such a


    situation. She asked suspiciously, “Does your hotel send suitcases to everyone? And not just one, but


    two?”


    She emphasized on the word “two”.


    As she spoke, Christina raised two fair and slender fingers and waved them in the air, full of suspicion.


    The manager replied without changing his expression, “Yes, we not only sent two suitcases to you, we


    also sent it to other customers today. You can investigate. You’re not the only one. You don’t have to be


    afraid of our hotel having any bad intentions. If there are any, it’s our monthly performance. I hope you


    can continue staying in our hotel next time.”


    The door was open, but the manager did not enter. It could be said that he did not even step in.


    Outside the door, another waiter delivered a suitcase. “Hello, this is a gift from our hotel today. Thank


    you for checking in.”


    Christina had a keen eye and knew that the price of these two suitcases was already equivalent to the


    amount she had paid in advance at the hotel. She was still suspicious, and the hotel’s operation


    puzzled her.


    She had reason to suspect that this boss was a rich second-generation heir who did not know how to


    run a business. How could he give things away like this?


    Was this not a waste?


    This should be a method to appease the customers when there was an ident in the hotel. She did


    not give a bad review and had just checked in not long ago. Why would the hotel suddenly give her two


    branded suitcases?


    In the end, when the manager continued to exin to Christina, she could not help but ept it. She


    even promised to stay in this hotel in the future. The manager seemed to havepleted his mission


    and left with a heavy burden. Before he left, he even wiped the sweat on his forehead.


    Looking at the two tall white suitcases, Christina shook her head helplessly. It was a waste not to use


    them. What was there to


    be pretentious about? She was already short of suitcases. Thinking of this, she squatted down and


    started to open the boxes. Then she opened the suitcases and arranged everything in order inside.


    Two hourster, Christina was a little thirsty. She realized that there was red wine and white wine on


    the wine rack. There was mineral water, drinks, and milk on the table.


    The operation of this hotel was rather abnormal. Christina, who had checked in for the first time, was


    wary and did not dare drink red wine. She opened a bottle of mineral water and sat on a chair, deep in


    thought. For some reason, she was a little curious about the owner of this hotel.


    The next morning, when Christina woke up, it was already 8:30 am.


    She hurriedly changed into a ck suit and put on a white down jacket and ck high heels that she


    had bought yesterday. Then, she went to thepany again.


    When she went downstairs, the cold wind was bone-chilling. The wind in Sapphire City was quite cold.


    Coincidentally, the taxi driver downstairs was the young man who had sent her backst night. He was


    downstairs again this morning.


    “Hey, youngdy, why is it you again? Are you nning to go out?”


    He sounded as if he was trying to solicit customers. This made Christina stop asking. Perhaps because


    this was a hotel, the driver liked to wait here to receive customers.


    After getting into the car, Christina still asked, “Do you often attract guests here?”


    The driver started the car steadily and said in a normal tone, “That’s right. The quality of the customers


    who check in here is especially high. I like to attract guests here.”


    So that was how it was.


    However, rich people did not necessarily have high standards. Poor people did not necessarily have


    low standards either. It was just that Christina did not intend to debate this topic with the driver.


    Perhaps the people he met were all of high quality.


    The driver was a chatterbox and was very talkative today, forming a contrast to the quiet trip yesterday.


    “Miss, what do you think of our city?”


    Christina nced at the scenery outside the window and said truthfully, “It’s quite good. The people


    here are very enthusiastic.”


    The driver was slightly proud and raised his chin like a child. “Of course. Our management here is still


    rtively strict. You can rest assured about the security in our city. We have a great phnthropist here


    who spends a lot of money every year to manage the security here.”


    “A great phnthropist?” Christina asked,
