Chapter 531
In Christina’s room.
It was Joseph’s first time staying in Christina’s room, but he did not feel ufortable. He naturally
lifted the nket and got into bed. It was as if he was at home. He did not feel uneasy or ufortable
at all.
The two of them were discussing something side by side.
Since those three people interrupted them intermittently and dissipated their burning emotions, Joseph
nned to talk to Christina about something serious. “Christina, have you seen the engagement gift list
my father brought?”
“Yes, I did.” Christina adjusted the nket and sat up. Then, she handed Joseph the list his father had
given her from the bedside table.
Joseph took it. He still did not know what engagement gift his father had prepared, so he was also
curious. He took it and looked at it. The list of things was quite generous. It was all shares, including
some of the Turner family’s businesses. “Do you think it’s too little?”
Christina tilted her head like a little girl leaning on Joseph’s shoulder. She pointed at the list and said
seriously, “Joseph, I don’t like our marriage to be tied down by these things. I especially hate those
television dramas where the woman requests to add her name to all of the man’s assets, you know?
Also, I hate to be like some people who fight for more engagement gifts even before getting married. I
hope our rtionship is pure. If I really have to take something, we’ll exchange 10% ofpany’s
shares and forget about the rest.”
This could be considered as nting a root in each other’spany.
our
Christina was not young, but she had a very simple requirement for rtionships. Although these
things could reflect the Turner family’s attitude, she still did not intend to ept them. She could ept
the benefits from the business that she. would work for with Joseph in the future, but she could not take
the shares of the businesses that Joseph’s parents had worked for their entire lives with a clear
conscience.
She simply did not want to appear out of nowhere and reap the harvest of others.
Christina’s thoughts were different from others. She liked to work hard for the things she received. It
would give her a sense of aplishment.
Joseph immediately understood what she meant. He pointed at the list and said, “These aren’t my
father’s assets. They’re my own. You can ept them with a clear conscience.”
As he spoke, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead. If it were any other woman, they
would probably be jumping out of joy at this moment. However, this woman did not want it at all and
even asked for an exchange.
“Put it away and exin to your father.” Christina still had no intention of epting them. “I’ll exin to
my father. I can only ept an exchange of 10% of the shares.”
The Yamin family was not short of money either. Her parents would definitely understand her actions.
Sensing the emotions in the man’s eyes and his primal thoughts, Christina quickly said. “Stop. We’ll
have a truce tonight.
let me recover my energy?” She felt like she was about to be sucked dry.
Can you
She had reason to suspect that this man was a literal vixen.
Seeing a little panic in Christina’s eyes, Josephughed. ‘Am I that scary?’ he wondered. He only
required a little longer time than others. That was all. “Christina, let’s go for a run together tomorrow.”
He had to train his stamina.
“We’ll talk about it tomorrow.” She had a habit of running asionally, mostly depending on her mood.
“Go to sleep. I won’t touch you. I’ll let you conserve your energy. Let’s go get our marriage certificate
after the new year, okay? Do you want to get it at Athana or Sapphire City?”
After the marriage matters were settled, Christinay down and snuggled into Joseph’s arms.
“Anywhere is fine. Where do you prefer? If you think Athana is more ceremonial, we’ll get it in Athana.

If you think Sapphire City is more satisfactory, I’ll arrange it for you.”
Joseph smiled. This was how it felt to have a fiancée who was capable. “Sapphire City, I want you to be
a part of the Turner family.”
“In Athana, you’re a part of my family. In Sapphire City, I’m a part of your family. Fair?” Christina looked
up at him and replied with a smile.
“Sure. It couldn’t be fairer.”
At noon the next day.
In the parking lot of Grand Manor, there were several luxury cars parked side by side. It was obvious
that they belonged to someone powerful.
T
Inside a private room, four families gathered. They were the Wilson family, the Roberts family, the
Turner family, and the
Yamin family.
A grand total of 13 people were sitting at the round table. Trevon and Natalie were called over by
Emma. Natalie and Trevon were from the Turner family, so of course, they had to be present when
discussing marriage in Athana.
As for the Yamin family, Chris was missing. The reason was very simple. Chris did not like such
asions. Plus, he was afraid. that he would be the focus of the conversations. His sister was
married now, so he would definitely be the next one.
Chris could predict with absolute certainty that his mother’s next target would be him. Since he could
not afford to offend her, he could always hide.
They were seated in the order of the Yamin family couple, Joseph, Christina, the Turner family couple,
the Roberts family couple, Frank, Ava, Ste, Natalie, and Trevon.
Trevon was wearing dark gray double-sided cashmere. His hair wasbed neatly as if it was his
marriage they were going to discuss today. Inparison, Joseph was dressed much more casually.
He was wearing a sweater and a down jacket. This down jacket was the same style as Christina’s. His
was ck, and hers was white.
Clearly, it was a couple outfit. In a ce where no one could see, the corners of Trevon’s lips curled up,
surprised at how Joseph and Christina would wear that despite being well over the usual age.
However, when he saw the outfits of Ava and Frank, he finally realized that he had made a mistake. At
this moment, it became apparent that these people were all here to show off their love. Frank and Ava
were also wearing matching outfits. They were wearing sweaters and down vests of the same color.
Trevon was speechless.
William always thought that the sess of the two youngsters was thanks to him, so he was smug and
wanted Charlie to thank him all the time. Realizing that there was one person missing, he asked,
“Where’s your kid?”
Angie said in a resentful tone, “The hospital, where else? He had an emergency surgery at thest
minute and rushed there.”
“Why didn’t Rose and your son-inwe? You praise your son-inw on the phone all the time,
telling us about how great he is. Why not bring him out here?” Charlie said to William, sounding like he
wanted topete with the Roberts family, which he indeed did. After all, he felt that his son-inw
was just as outstanding as Edward, and he wanted to get one up on William.
Grace exined, “Ever since Rose got pregnant, Edward has been much more careful. He doesn’t
wake Rose up unless she wakes up naturally. He’s probably still sleeping right now.”
This answer made William especially satisfied. Not only did it receive a wave of good reviews from
everyone, but it also made William win another round. Thus, he secretly gave Grace a thumbs-up
under the table.
Angie smiled and praised, “No wonder William keeps praising him. Our Christina is also blessed.
Joseph even cooked her spaghetti supper justst night.”
Christina was at a loss for words. The awkward and embarrassing scene fromst night appeared in
her mind again, and she subconsciouslybed her hair to hide her awkwardness.
Meanwhile, Joseph acted as if nothing had happened and said politely, “As long as Christina likes it.”
These words made Trevon, who was sitting at the back,ugh. He also sensed a trace of
embarrassment from Christina and immediately had a feeling that something must have happenedst
night.
The three women gathered together and chatted quietly. Ava was the happiest. “Ste, Ste, look.
Joseph and Christina are so amazing together, don’t you think? I think they’re really made for each
other.”
The little girl even emphasized the word “really”.
Ste said in a very supportive way, “Of course, they’re a perfect match. Justst night, your brother
cooked spaghetti for
sister. On the way here, Mom praised him all the way as if she won the lottery. You can see the sheer
joy on her face.
my
when she talked about it.”
“My brother is really great. He’s very gentle. You’ll slowly realize that he’s especially gentle to his family.
I believe he’ll treat Christina very well and dote on her very much.”
Just like how Frank doted on her.
Natalie agreed with what Ava said and added, “Ava is right. Joseph will treat your sister very well.”
“My sister will definitely be happy.”
Natalie smiled and said, “We’ll all be happy.”
While the women were talking, Angie changed the topic as if she was trying to speed things up.
“Trevon, you’re a winner in life now. You got three children at once. That’s impressive.”
Hearing this, Trevon was proud and satisfied. He poured a ss of water for Natalie beside him and
gently ced it in front of her. Then, he continued, as if it was a very natural thing. “That’s because I
have good genes. It’s possible for Joseph, too.”
Hearing the man beside him say this seriously, Natalie narrowed her beautiful eyes at him, indicating
for him to tone it
Trevon, on the other hand, smiled and expressed that it was fine. He even scratched Natalie’s palm
under the table to make her rx. Natalie grabbed his mischievous hand and gave him a warning look.
Joseph had be the focus of the conversation.
When Trevon shifted the conversation toward Joseph, Joseph smiled and said, “Trevon is talking about
the probability that we, the Turner family, give birth to twins. Several of our ancestors had twins, so the
probability might be rtively higher.” Emma nodded, indicating that his son was telling the truth.
“Exactly. What Joseph said is true.”
Frank looked at the little girl beside him and was overjoyed. He secretly felt that it would be great if Ava
could give birth to multiple children at once. However, even if Ava only gave birth to one child, he would
not ask her to do it again.
He did not want her to give birth multiple times. It was too painful.
Ste was speechless. Is this even rted to gics?’ she wondered.
Upon hearing this, Angie was delighted. The fact that there was a chance for twins made her feel that
Christina found an amazing partner. “That’s great. But don’t worry. One is good, too. Joseph, do your
best.”
Christina was at a loss for words.
Joseph did not even know how to respond to his mother-inw’s words. He could only smile. Frankly,
he was indeed doing
his best.
Today’s meal was a little off-topic. It was like a gathering between old friends who had known each
other for many years. Angie was a talkative person with a good personality.
She was extremely satisfied with the son-inw whom her daughter had found, so of course, she was
smiling during the entire meal.
Meanwhile, Frank and Trevon were talking about the twins, which made Ste feel very awkward. She
instantly felt that her brother was very wise not toe.
From time to time, Ava would say some things that were about the even further future. She held her
head and prayed that she would give birth to twins of mixed sexes in the future. This made Frank’s
heart bloom with joy. Although his expression did not change much, he was overjoyed inside.
“Joseph, we’ll leave Christina to you. I hope you can treat her well. My daughter has a strong
personality. Please bear with her in the future,” Charlie instructed at the dining table.
The atmosphere instantly became serious. Charlie took a few sips of wine and was gratified to see
Joseph taking care of his daughter meticulously at the dining table. He hoped that this would continue
in the future.
Joseph raised his cup and faced Charlie. “Sir, I will. You can rest assured.”
Then, he drank it in one gulp.
Daniel vouched for his son. “Charlie, don’t worry. My son is very principled in everything. If he does
something wrong in the future, just scold him like he’s your son. I won’t me you.”
Emma, who had always been quiet, also spoke for her son. “Yes. I will treat Christina the same way as
Ava once he’s married into our family. There will be no deviation.”
The couple’s and Joseph’s guarantee made Charlie heave a sigh of relief. He looked at his daughter,
who was smiling at him, and he also smiled. The depths of his eyes flickered. “Alright, the marriage is
decided. As for when the wedding will be held, they will decide for themselves.”
