Chapter 524
The entire hotel glistened with silver. The roof and the white snow on the ground basked under the
sun’s gentle warmth.
The view from the top-floor sunroom was breathtaking. They could admire thendscape below the
hotel, the distant scenery and even gaze up at the clear blue sky, with the snow and the sun hanging
high above.
After lunch, Christina felt drowsy in the embrace of the warm sun. Atte sat beside her, and the ring
on her index finger radiated brilliantly in the sunlight.
Surrounded by vibrant flowers, every potted nt blossomed exquisitely, captivating and enchanting
like Christina herself at that moment.
Joseph’s slender fingers swirled the contents of his cup. The spoon clinking against the cup produced a
crisp and pleasant sound. His soothing voice gently caressed Christina’s ears again, “Do you feel like
napping? Are you still a bit weary?”
Christina rested her chin on her hand and turned to look at Joseph. He was extremely refined and
noble as if the wolf-like manst night was not him. It made her think she had just had a wet dreamst
night.
Her response was, “Joseph, did you transform from the moon?”
Joseph understood her intention. He picked up his coffee and took a sip. He smiled charmingly,
radiating charm like a flower by his side. “It’s not that I can transform when I meet the sun. It’s that I
can’t help myself when I meet you.”
As Christina listened to these ungentlemanly words, she looked at the refined man in a daze. The
corners of her lips curled up slightly. This feeling wasn’t bad at all. It was veryfortable to be with
him.
There were no outsiders in the sunroom, just the two of them.
At the elevator door leading to the sunroom, two figures stood guard. One was Ethan, and the other
was Benjamin. They appeared like two bodyguards securing the entrance, while a sign on the elevator
indicated it was under repair.
“I’m sorry, Miss. The elevator is out of order. There’s a roof leak, and it’s currently being repaired for
safety reasons,” exined Benjamin to a skeptical customer.
The customer responded, “But everything was finest night, and it was still functioning during the
snowfall.””
Ethan remained expressionless, and Benjamin continued, “Perhaps it was damaged by the snowst
night.”
The customer left reluctantly, still doubting the exnation. Nevertheless, with the maintenance sign in
ce and the elevator entrance guarded by two individuals, there was only one way up. The stairs
didn’t lead to the sunroom.
Benjaminined, “Ah, I’m exhausted from all this exining. How long is Mr. Turner going to
upy that spot up there? Are we supposed to keep standing here?”
Rubbing his sore mouth, Benjamin contemted.
Ethan responded, “I don’t know. Ask Mr. Turner.”
However, Benjamin wasn’t naive. He knew asking would lead to punishment, and he didn’t want to risk
Mr. Turner’s displeasure.
Joseph reclined leisurely in his chair and closed his eyes to bask in the sunlight. After a few seconds,
he opened his eyes and said, “Christina.”
Feeling more alert after drinking half of her coffee, she contemted rest. The coffee today was
watered down and had no effect. She squinted and replied, “Huh? What’s up?”
“Would you like to take a photo of us for your mom? It would save you the trouble of editing”
Christina smiled, realizing she needed material to prevent her mom from bombarding her with requests.
Joseph stood behind Christina, taking the phone from her hand and capturing the beautiful scene in the
frame.
Not only was the background picturesque, but the person in the photo was also quite beautiful.
Joseph didn’t return the phone to Christina immediately. Instead, he transferred the photos to his phone
before handing it back.
“I’ll share it during dinner. Are you still interested in taking a nap?”
Christina had yet to turn off her phone. Her slender fingers glided over the three photos in her photo
album. “That’s alright. I’m feeling a bit drowsy. Why did you send those pictures to your phone?”
Joseph reached out to touch Christina’s chair and said, “I’ve saved all your photos.”
Afterward, Joseph made a call and brushed off Christina’s inquiries. “Bring a lounge chair and a
nket.”
Once the order was given, he hung up the phone without considering the other party’s thoughts. He
was solely focused on givingmands, and the other party’s sole purpose was to carry them out.
This was the reality, but Christina quite liked it. She lowered her gaze and smiled at the photos on her
phone. The more she looked at them, the more she believed they
matched perfectly.
After a while, Ethan and Benjamin brought over a folded sofa. “Mr. Turner, where should we ce it?”
Joseph gestured to a spot, and Ethan dared not look around as he carefully positioned the sofa.
Benjamin set down the nket he was holding and red at Christina from the corner of his eye.
Christina was beautiful and exuded a strong femininity.
She wore a fiery red dress, a true head-turner. It was no wonder Mr. Turner couldn’t resist.
Ethan grabbed Benjamin’s cor and hastily retreated. Once they left, Joseph walked over to Christina
and led her to the lounge chair. He pressed her shoulders and sat down.
Joseph spoke tenderly, “Rx. Take a nap. I’ll hold you while you sleep.”
Christina started to savor the romance Joseph was offering. He lifted the nket and sat, not lying or
covering himself with it. He smiled and smiled, saying, “Mr. Turner, didn’t you say you’d cuddle me to
sleep?”
Upon hearing this, Joseph removed his shoes andy down, helping Christina getfortable under
the thick nket. He wrapped an arm around her, and she nestled against his chest.
Christina yed with the fabric of Joseph’s sweater and asked, “Joseph, when did you start liking me?”
Joseph himself couldn’t pinpoint the exact moment. When Christina first hired him, it struck him as
unique and intriguing. From that point on, he continued to receive photos and 200,000 dors.
Every time he gazed at the digitally altered images, he inadvertently revisited them, saving them in his
photo collection. Over time, a desire gradually stirred within him to transform the scenes depicted in
those photos into reality..
He gently yed with her curls and remarked, “I find your edited photos truly captivating.”
The kissnded. In the sunlight, Joseph conveyed his feelings to Christina, using the tip of his tongue
to express his love. Christina reciprocated gently, her hands tightly clutching the front of his sweater.
The nket covered them, and the scene beneath seemed even more beautiful than the view outside
the ss room.
Joseph only desired to share kisses with her and had no intentions of going beyond that.
The Yamin family in Athana.
There were two groups of people sitting in the living room. They were the Yamin family, the Turner
family, and the Roberts family.
An hour ago, Joseph sent a message to Daniel. [Dad, help me go to the Yamin family to propose
marriage first. When Christina and I return to Athana, I will go to the Yamin family again.]
Daniel had to go through the message with Emma and the Roberts family repeatedly before they could
confirm its veracity. Finally, they responded concisely. [Joseph, marriage is a serious matter. I can only
proceed after receiving your firm confirmation.]
Joseph replied with certainty. [Yes. Otherwise, she would havee to something other than Sapphire
City.]
Daniel has already understood the straightforward meaning of his son’s words. He devised a scheme
to send Christina to Sapphire City, and if there were any doubts about this n, one would only go
through the trouble of setting up a scheme if they had hidden intentions. If someone doesn’t have a
hidden agenda against someone else, they wouldn’t go to such lengths to create such a scheme.
After discussing with the Roberts family, they directly came to the Yamin family to propose marriage.
The engagement gift was also prepared at thest minute. They only asked Grace to write a document
with detailed instructions.
When Daniel asked his són, Joseph, about the engagement gift, Joseph only said to give more. If it’s
not enough, he should return to add more.,
Ten pairs of eyes locked onto each other, surveying the room curiously. They exchanged nces and
moved in a cautious dance around each other. Seated beside their parents, Ava and Frank maintained
a hushed silence, keenly aware that today’s gathering wasn’t about them. Their primary objective was
to assist their brother in proposing marriage, but they were also eager to get to know their soon-to-be
sister-inw and her family.
Breaking the silence, Grace spoke first with a touch of admonishment in her voice. “What’s with those
expressions? We’re here for a marriage proposal, not a heist. Keep your facesposed.”
In unison, the four of them replied, their voices ringing out. “A marriage proposal?”
William grinned broadly, his joy evident. “Mr. Yamin, you seem rather surprised. Normally, you’d ask me
to help find a suitable son-inw, but I’ve discovered a top-tier candidate for you. So, what’s with the
shock? You should be thanking me
first.”
“Christina is already involved with a university professor?” Charlie wondered, concerned that proposing
marriage so quickly might be premature. Shouldn’t they have dated for a while first?
Avatched onto a detail and discreetly turned to herpanion, Frank. “A university professor?” She
was astonished to
learn that the charming sister’s boyfriend wasn’t her brother, which led her to specte about another
concealed rtionship.
Frank pinched her neck and signaled for her to be patient. There was no need to rush.
In the room where the marriage proposal was taking ce, there was a noticeable confusion stemming
from two different and conflicting narratives. Grace and Emma, being keen observers and perhaps
more attuned to the nuances of the situation, were the first to sense that something wasn’t quite right.
Daniel spoke up, acknowledging the importance of the day. He hade with his mission on behalf of
his son. “Hello, I’m Joseph’s father. We met thest time. Here’s the situation: my son and your
daughter have grown close. They’re in Sapphire City and can’t return immediately for a formal
proposal. They called us an hour ago, requesting that we, the parents, speak with you first.”
“Joseph has always been responsible. I can see he has deep feelings for your daughter. He’s impatient
to formalize this rtionship. Your daughter is truly remarkable, and perhaps my son feels he needs to
secure this marriage soon.”

Charlie fully understood Daniel’s exnation, and it put him at ease. Naturally, he was pleased with the
praise of his exceptional daughter. In the eyes of every father, their daughter was outstanding and
precious. “Christina didn’t inform me about this.”
Angie didn’t want to waste time and interrupted Charlie’s words. Joseph’s parents were here to
propose, and she saw no reason to prolong the conversation. “I also hold your son in high regard. It’s
clear he’s a highly educated university professor. In the future, he can provide valuable guidance to our
Christina.”
A warm smile crossed Angie’s face as she spoke. Ste whispered to Chris, “Brother, it seems your
leisure days are numbered. Mother has sessfully orchestrated a marriage for your sister. Are your
carefree days over?”
Chris grew visibly nervous at his sister’s words, realizing that the current situation wasn’t favorable for
him.
The profession of the university professor had been mentioned repeatedly, and Daniel recognized that
this
misunderstanding needed to be rified. He was baffled by how his son had transitioned from being a
CEO to bing a professor, leading to a family-wide misinterpretation.
There were times when his son proved to be quite unpredictable.
