After everyone left, Sherri finally camete and carefully pushed open the door.
When she stepped into the room, she realized that it was abnormally quiet. It was so quiet that she
could hear her own breathing. She gently walked into the ward and poked her head in to take a look
only to find that everyone was asleep. Sherri’s mother was asleep in the guest room, while her brother
was asleep on the couch.
Her older brother probably fell asleep on the couch because he needed to look after Rose. He probably
feared he wouldn’t react if he slept too soundly. Even the little guy in the cradle was sleeping soundly.
Grace slept in another room with the door open.
In such a quiet environment, Sherri did not even dare to breathe too hard for fear of waking them up.
She quietly left the room and gently closed the door.
Sherri also applied for leave today. She didn’t sleep the entire night. She wasn’t made of steel. She
didn’t want to die suddenly, so she could only change shifts with her colleague who was in the same
department.
She returned to the consultation room and changed out of her white coat. She was nning on
heading back to the Landor family home to bring her child back to the ckwell family. In a few days,
Rose was going toe home for postpartum recovery.
In the Turner Manor, the person on the bed stretched out her smooth arms and covered her mouth with
her hand. She yawned, and her eyes were shining because of the yawn she just had.
The first thing she did when she woke up was to look for her phone. She subconsciously searched
under her pillow and realized that she did not find it. Only then did she remember that she had ced it
at the head of the bedst night.
Ava wanted to see if Frank had sent her a message, but as soon as she turned on her phone, she was
given a surprise. She looked at the time and saw that it was sent in the early morning, which meant that
Rose gave birth early in the morning. Currently, Rose should be sleeping now.
After specting on this, Ava sat up and prepared to share the good news with her mother and the
others.
At the same time, she wanted to let her pregnant sister-inw see such a cute baby for herself.
Ava quickly sat up and threw the nket to the side. Because she was in a hurry, she put the shoes on
the wrong food and had to take them off before putting them back on again. Shebed her hair and
casually tied it with a hairband she found in the bathroom.
Fifteen minutester, Ava, who had washed up, put on light makeup. She only applied some foundation
and lipstick. The makeup style made her skin look creamy and moist on her cheeks as if it had
absorbed a lot of water.
In the living room downstairs, Emma and Christina were quietly doing their own thing. Emma was
reading a book, and Christina was reading a proposal letter.
It was a little tiring to wake up in the morning. Joseph did not allow Christina to go to work. In certain
aspects, Joseph was very domineering.
However, Christina also knew that it was for her own good, so she naturally indulged in Joseph’s
domineeringness.
The light footsteps on the stairs attracted the attention of Emma and Christina. They shifted their gaze
from their focus to Ava. They saw that Ava was in a hurry toe downstairs and was jumping two
steps down at a time.
Emma frowned and said gently, “There’s no hurry. Slow down.”
How could Ava, who was in a hurry to share the news, listen? She walked to the couch in a few steps
took out her phone to show her mother and Chistina the photo. “Guess who this is.”

Ava pretended to be mysterious and smiled brightly. She was really happy.
She now had another identity. She was an aunt.
Emma held her daughter’s hand and pulled the phone closer to her eyes. Emma looked at it for a few
seconds and smiled gently. “Has Rose given birth?”
Ava nodded, indicating that it was. “Yep, she’s given birth. Look at what Frank wrote in the post. It’s a
boy.”
When Christina heard this, she was about to stand up. Seeing that she was pregnant, Ava quickly
walked over and pressed down on Christina’s shoulder. “Christina, don’t move. Last night, my brother
told me that you’ve been a little tired thesest few days and told me to keep an eye on you. My
mission is very important. Sit down and I’ll bring it over for you to see.”
Christina’s heart warmed. She did not expect Joseph to instruct his sister just because she said that
her legs were a little sore. What Christina did not know was that Joseph not only instructed his sister,
but he also told his mother and the maids that the floor wasn’t allowed to be wet, nor was the food
allowed to be too salty, and so on. The instructions were very detailed.
Christina smiled. “Your brother is really something. He’s just making a fuss of nothing. There’s nothing
wrong with me. Let me take a look.”
Ava sat down beside Christina and showed her the phone. “I think the little darling’s eyes look like
Rose. His mouth looks like hers too. When he grows up, he’ll definitely be a handsome little boy.
Christina, the little one in your stomach will also be good-looking.”
Christina looked at the photo on the screen and subconsciously touched her stomach. Emma hurriedly
said, “Don’t feel burdened. The Turner family doesn’t have any preference when ites to boys or
girls. Perhaps we might be more inclined to girls. Just look at Joseph. He dotes on his younger sister a
lot.” Christina nodded. “Mom, I know. Are you guys going to Athana?”
“I think so. Has thepany been busy recently?” While Emma wanted to go, she had to consider
Christina’s physical condition. If Christina was not in good condition, Emma wouldn’t be able to go. Her
husband had to go to thepany while Joseph had toe back to apany her daughter-inw.
Emma knew what she should do and not do. If she really couldn’t go, Grace wouldn’t mind.
Christina was very smart and understood what her mother-inw meant. She pushed the phone back
to Ava and leaned against the back of the couch. “Mom, if you and Dad want to go, go ahead. Joseph
and I will take care of thepany. I don’t have any other problems. Maybe because I stood for quite
some time in the meeting yesterday so my legs are a little sore. I’ll be fine after resting for a day.”
“Then let’s discuss it when your fatheres back. Ava, are you going?” Emma asked his daughter.
Ava shook her head like a rattle. She already expressed her will without uttering a word. In a regretful
tone, she said, “There’s nothing I can do. I have a professor’s ss tomorrow. You guys can go.”
After saying that, she took off her shoes and nestled in a corner of the couch. Christina could tell that
Ava wanted to go, but between seeing Frank and going to school, Ava temporarily chose to focus on
her studies.
In Christina’s opinion, this was the right choice. In the future, Ava would still be with Frank, and there
was still a long way to go for them. There was no hurry. Instead, Christina felt that Ava might be young
but Ava was very rational.
Christina ced her hand on Ava’s knee and patted it. “You can video call Frank. That way, you can
see the little darling up close.”
Emma was about to take out her phone to make a call. When she looked at the photo just now, she
didn’t look at the time it was sent. When her mother took out her phone, Ava stopped her. “Mom, you
can callter. They must be asleep now. Frank’s message was sent in the early morning. Let’s call him
“Early in the morning? Then they must have stayed up all night. Christina, send Joseph a message and
tell him not to call Frank today.”
“Okay, I’ll send him a message now.” Christina did not choose to give Joseph a call. He should be in a
meeting at this time.

Christina texted, [Mom doesn’t want you to call Frank today. Rose just gave birth in the early morning,
so they might all be asleep.]
Joseph replied, [Okay, I got it. Are your legs still sore today? If they are, let the doctor take a look.]
Christina lowered her head and replied with a smile, [It’s not sore anymore. Bring home a leg massager
after work. Your hands will ache if you do it a lot more times.]
Last night, Christina’s legs were sore, so Joseph had massaged her legs for more than two hours.
Christina really could not bear it to see that he still had to wake up on time to go to work the next day.
Christina already understood the basic problems that would happen in theter stages of pregnancy.
There would be more cases of swollen legs and sore waists. Just thinking about it made her realize it
was best to rely on other tools.
Joseph wrote, [I can bring the thing back. You can use it yourself when I’m not around. I don’t want the
gadget around when I’m around. Between the gadget and me, I hope you choose me.]
“So domineering. Is it necessary topete with a gadget?” Christina mused inwardly.
However, Christina did not continue to argue with Joseph about this gadget over the phone. She knew
that Joseph would bring it back when he got off work. As long as she instructed him once, Joseph
would get it done.
However, as time passed, she realized that Joseph was very good at changing his tune. She would
always lose to him in terms of the tricks he had up his sleeve.
At night, Joseph and Daniel came back at mealtime. Joseph was carrying a bag of things.
The living room was air-conditioned. The two men who entered the room took off their jackets.
Christina went forward to take Joseph’s jacket, but she was rejected. “I’ll do it myself. Sit down and see
if this is suitable.” As Joseph spoke, he handed the thing in his hand to Christina.
Daniel’s jacket was taken away by Emma and hung on the shelf.
Daniel said, “Christina, give it a try. If it’s not suitable, just get the factory to make another one.”
Christina was speechless. ‘Actually, there’s no need for that,” Christina thought.
“Thanks, Dad,” said Christina.
While they were talking, Ava bounced in from outside, humming a little song. “Daddy and Joesph are
back. I thought I would be earlier than you guys. Did you guys leave early?”
Joseph knocked on his sister’s head. “Do you think I’m you? Don’t you only have one ss in the
afternoon? Why are you back sote?”
“After ss, Alex wanted me to tutor her, so I went with her to the library, hence why I’mte.”
Seeing Christina opening things on the couch, Ava walked over and took a closer look. “Christina, you
bought something.”
When Ava saw the brand logo clearly, Ava said, “So it’s ourpany’s electric massager. This is good.
Joseph, why didn’t you think of this earlier? This way, Christina can massage herself. It’s not bad.”
There were quite a few things in the bag. Ava took one of them and was about to try it out. Joseph
stood on the side and reminded, “I’m going to wash my hands. Be careful with it when using it on
Christina.” “Got it.” After saying that, Ava leaned close to Christina’s ear and whispered, “Christina,
don’t you think that after my brother got his marriage license with you, he started to be naggy? He
repeats himself so many times talking about one thing.”
Christina nodded. “I noticed. Shh, you can’t say this in front of him.”
“It’s a secret. We’ll keep it between the two of us, so Joseph won’t be embarrassed.” Ava secretly
covered
her mouth and snickered.
When Joseph came out of the washroom, Ava was turning on the apparatus and testing it on her own
leg. She did not dare to try new things on Christina. If anything happened to Christina, she would be
dead.

Joseph was satisfied with his sister’s sensibility. “She’s grown up a lot. Now she’s always thinking of
things
from other people’s perspective.
“She’s matured a lot,” Joseph thought.
