Chapter 520


    The car stopped in front of a quaint building.


    Joseph turned off the engine and got out of the car. Christina unbuckled her seatbelt at the same time.


    Just as she was about to open the door, Joseph opened the door first. He stood outside and reached


    out to help her.


    Christina did not argue and reached out to give him her hand. In an instant, hisrge hand wrapped


    around hers and held her hand as they got out of the car. His warm palm transmitted warmth. After


    getting out of the car, she wanted to let go, but she realized that the man had no intention of letting go.


    Christina looked up questioningly. Joseph simply said, “The 2


    hold your hand.”


    Should she say that he was scheming or that he


    was meticulous?


    snow up ahead, so it will be slippery. It’s better for me to


    Just like that, he led her into the restaurant. The private room had been booked long ago. It could be


    seen that Joseph had arranged everything in advance and had a n. Christina indeed liked to have a


    n. He was a mature man and knew what he was doing.


    She didn’t like immature men who were younger than her. At the very least, it was very tiring when it


    came tomunication.


    When they arrived at the private room, Ethan and Benjamin did not enter. Instead, they waited


    respectfully outside.


    After sitting down, Christina said, “Since the driver who drove me previously was a bodyguard, why


    was he still knocked down by a mediocre person like me?”


    Joseph took off his jacket, then took the jacket Christina had taken off as well and put them on the


    hanger. He pushed up his cuffs, exposing his dark blue wristwatch in the air. He said unhurriedly, “His


    duty is to protect you, not counterattack.” Christina did not say anything else and seemed to


    understand. She took the menu offered by Joseph and expressed her gratitude. “Thank you. Do you


    have any rmendations Mr. Turner?”


    This time, Joseph did not sit across from Christina. Instead, he naturally pulled the chair closer and sat


    on the side. He’ leaned closer and rmended, “This and this are not bad. Ava asks for takeouts


    every time. If you like them, you can order them both.”


    Christina was not a wasteful person. “It’s just the two of us. We won’t be able to finish it if we over-


    order. Your sister is quite likable.”..


    After ordering, a strand of hair fell down. Joseph couldn’t help but reach out to help her push it back.


    Their eyes met and the atmosphere felt ambiguous. In an instant, it was as if sparks exploded between


    them. Christina looked away first and subconsciously tidied her hair. Her heartbeat was slightly


    abnormal.


    Joseph did not seem to see anything. He only curled his lips at an angle where Christina could not see.


    He smiled faintly and said, “Ava is more lively. She says whatever she wants. Don’t take it to heart if


    she does anything wrong. She doesn’t have any


    bad intentions.”


    “No, I like her. Joseph?”


    Suddenly stopped, Joseph turned around and replied in confusion, “Huh? What?”..


    “Have you wooed other women?” Christina looked at him, waiting for an answer. She did not know why


    she had asked. Perhaps she was selfish and wanted to hear the answer in her heart.


    Joseph said with certainty, “You’re the first. Before you, I didn’t want to get married.”


    She did not reply and only smiled. The dishes were served very quickly. Throughout the entire process,


    Joseph took care of Christina. He remembered that Christina said that she did not like to peel crabs.


    He rolled up the sleeves of his sweater, put on his gloves, and used a tool to pick the meat.


    From the corner of her eye, she saw that this man was taking care of her. He did honest, Christina was


    very touched. No man had ever treated her like this.


    seem to be pretending at all. To be


    Charlie Yamin was not very thoughtful, not to mention Chris Yamin. At the dining table, he ate his own


    food and left after eating. She was the one who peeled the shelled seafood for her younger siblings


    and put food on their tes.


    However, she wasn’t sure how long Joseph’s gentleness couldst. She was also a li


    a little afraid. If a person ate delicacies, it would be difficult for her to ept eating pickled vegetables


    every day.


    After dinner, Joseph even took her to a few ces. They were all ces that Joseph often went to


    when he was free. It could be considered another way to let Christina understand him.


    Just like that, during the day, while Christina was waiting for Joseph to sign the contract with her,


    Joseph would bring her out to know more about him every day. He wanted her to let go of the


    hesitation and conflict in her heart without rushing her. Hejust brought her out to have fun and make her


    happy.


    One afternoon, after Christina and Joseph finished their lunch, Angie finally couldn’t hold back her


    curiosity and called.


    “Christina, how are you getting along with Joseph?”


    Christina was not surprised that her mother already knew. There must be a reason why she did not call


    for so long. “Mom, as you wished.”


    Angie said anxiously, “You’ve already been gone for a few days. His parents are about to go back, but


    the two of you aren’t together yet. Didn’t the two of you already get to know each other for a long time?


    Now, you’ve already gone to Sapphire City to get to know each other. Haven’t you gotten to know each


    other well enough?”


    Christina sighed. “Mom, it’s not a bad thing for me to know more.”


    Her parents didn’t know that Joseph was the boss of the equipmentpany. Christina hadn’t


    mentioned it yet, nor had she told her parents about the series of events in Sapphire City. Angie said,


    “I’m telling you, since he’s a professor, he might be a little held back when ites to courtship. If you


    like him, you can ignore gender and take the initiative first.” \


    Christina, “…” Was she a wolf? However, sometimes when she saw Joseph, she did have the urge to


    pounce on him. Perhaps she had been single for too long.


    “Mom, have you watched too many television dramas?” How could her mother expect her to attack the


    guy, right? She really had to hand it to her mother.


    “Let me tell you, the TV dramas I watched still have some use. University professors tend to be too


    disciplined and rigid. After chasing you for so long, you refused to give any answers. There must be


    something wrong with the way he’s doing it. Let me tell you, it’s not embarrassing for girls to take the


    initiative. As long as he likes you and you like him, the ultimate goal is to facilitate a beautiful love. If the


    man doesn’t like you, then it’s a different story. You definitely can’t fall for him. This ispletely


    different. This means you are throwing yourself at him.”


    Angie analyzed ording to the television dramas she had watched. She was logical like a love expert.


    However, Angie did make some sense. People knew it when they liked each other. “Got it. Go back to


    your TV then.”

    Angie urged again, “Hurry up. He has such a good job, is a good man, and has good looks, so he’s a


    good catch. Do you hear


    me?”


    “Yes, yes,” Christina repeated perfunctorily.


    After hanging up, Christina was speechless. If her parents knew that Joseph was the boss of this


    Her mother probably had some misunderstanding about Joseph. He had set up traps and flirted with


    her from time to time. She was probably thinking too much about him being rigid. However, Christina


    felt that Joseph was amodating her these few days.


    He did not press on.


    At night, in the sunroom of the Sapphire Hotel, half of the people were already asleep. Outside the


    transparent ss, was a beautiful starry sky dotted with stars.


    Only the sober man and woman were sampling expensive red wine. The red nails added to the


    woman’s charm. She held the wine ss and kept swirling it while wearing slippers.


    Originally, Christina was prepared to sleep. She lifted the nket and got into bed. Before she could


    warm up, Joseph said that he would sign the contract at night.


    As soon as she came up, he found an expensive bottle of red wine and two wine sses on the table.


    It was obvious that they had been prepared in advance. Christina automatically thought it was to


    celebrate.


    Joseph was wearing navy blue pajamas and holding a ss of red wine in his hand. He took a sip and


    asked, “How does it taste?”


    “It’s not bad. After all, the price is there.” At this moment, Christina was not wearing any makeup. It was


    the first time Joseph saw Christina without makeup.


    He had seen photos during the investigation, but he had never seen her without makeup in person.


    Christina was also wearing pajamas. Beforeing, she had nned to change her clothes. Joseph


    said that he was also wearing pajamas, so she had no intention of changing. She directly came to sign


    the contract in pajamas and slippers. It was a different way of signing the contract. Both parties were


    wearing pajamas and slippers. It was really strange. Christina ignored the red pajamas she was


    wearing and raised her ss graciously. “Pleasure doing business with you.” The sound of sses


    clinking rang out in the silent sunroom. It was exceptionally crisp, like the sound of wind chimes


    colliding. Joseph smiled and drank the red wine in the ss in one gulp.


    Christina’s alcohol tolerance was not bad. Seeing that he was so forthright, she naturally drank it in one


    gulp. After drinking, she even raised his ss to indicate that the ss was empty. Joseph smiled


    again.


    He picked up the bottle and poured half a ss of wine for Christina. He poured two-thirds worth in his


    wine ss for himself.


    After drinking a few sses, perhaps because she was slightly drunk, Christina no longer paid


    attention to her image. She bent her legs and raised them to the stool, hugging her knees with one


    hand.


    Joseph didn’t mind the real Christina. Instead, he smiled indulgently.


    Christina picked up the ss and took a sip of wine. She gently put it down and asked, “Joseph, how


    many people have your face charmed?”


    “Does it work on you?”


    Christina nodded. Her cheeks were slightly red as if she had applied rouge. “It’s definitely a lie to say


    no.” She rested her chin on her hand. “If I say no, you’ll definitely say that I don’t have good taste.”


    “No, you’ve always had good taste. You can’t drink anymore after this ss.” It was best to be slightly


    drunk. It was not good to be drunk.


    “Tsk. Joseph, you did it on purpose, didn’t you? Do you have the intention of getting me drunk? Or are


    you being stingy after letting me sample this expensive wine? You have to take it back after letting me


    drink halfway,” Christinained to Joseph as she pointed at the bottle.


    He could clearly feel that the woman was a little drunk. ording to his investigation, her alcohol


    tolerance was not bad. Why was she a little drunk after just a few sses of wine? However, this was


    still very cutepared to the usual Christina. It was especially real and rxed. “If you like it, I’ll give


    you a bottle tomorrow. If you drink too much at night, you’ll have a headache tomorrow.”


    Christina was a little drunk. She looked at him with a burning gaze. Her gaze was straightforward. She


    put her leg down and rested her chin on her hand. “Joseph, you’re indeed good-looking. You’ve


    gathered all your parents’ strengths. Your sister is also good-looking. Frank, this guy has good taste.


    His taste is really sharp. I seem to have fallen for you. Will you always be so understanding?”


    Joseph got up and stood in front of Christina. Without a word, he picked up Christina, who was already


    a little drunk. He held the signed contract in his hand and her slippers fell. Christina clung onto


    Joseph’s neck. Looking at his sharp chin, she could not help but reach out and touch it. “If this face was


    in ancient times, it would be so hot.”


    Joseph did not speak or stop her. Christina did whatever she wanted. Ethan opened the door of the


    sunroom and lowered his head, pretending not to see anything.


    Benjamin, who was beside him, was different. He looked at the background of Joseph hugging


    Christina and his jaw dropped in surprise. He snapped a picture. “Oh my god, why do I feel that the


    boss is a little immoral?”


    Ethan said, “Send me the photo.”


    Benjamin covered the phone. This was dirt. Dirt that no one else could see. “Why should I?”


    Ethan stood there without saying a word, but it was a tant threat. In the end, under this threat,


    Benjamin forwarded the photo he had just taken to Ethan.


    The despicable Ethan was actually not satisfied and deleted the photo from his phone entirely. In fact,


    Ethan had his own considerations. The structure of this child’s brain was rtively simple. If his phone


    fell into someone else’s hands, it would be troublesome.


    Benjamin was cursing at Ethan all the way downstairs. He kept asking why he wanted his photo.


    Meanwhile, Ethan acted as if he was deaf and did not react to Benjamin’s chatter.
