Chapter 557


    Edward thought so in his heart, but he still listened to Rose’s suggestion. He tugged at his pajama


    pants and sat down on the edge of the bed.


    He thought about how to position himself, cing his hands on Rose’s shoulders, and began to get


    ready. He felt that something was odd about this. It was as if he was snatching food from his son.


    Rose was anxious when she saw Edward dawdling. She impatiently cooperated and unbuttoned her


    pajama top. She urged him again, “Don’t be nervous. If you’re really nervous, think of me as your


    mother and start imagining.”


    Edward was mute. He might as well not imagine anything at all. It was just that the current atmosphere


    was not right. After all, he had done this before.


    “Half or all?” Edward had already bent down and fixed his gaze on the two mounds in front of him.


    Rose thought about it. She did not know when the child would wake up. She could not let Edward do it


    twice in one night. She still had to buy a breast pump tomorrow.


    She was too careless. She did not expect herself to be as productive as a cow. It was really impressive.


    She said generously, “All of it. What if the baby overslept, right? If you want to help twice, that’s fine


    too. It’s up to you.”


    Edward didn’t know how to talk to Rose on this topic. He chose not to answer. The only thing he could


    do was show her if it was all or half.


    Rose looked at Edward foolishly. She ced her hands on his shoulders. and grabbed his pajamas.


    She was quite touched, but she was still sure and determined to buy a breast pump tomorrow. She


    couldn’t really treat her husband as her son.


    A few minutester… Edward stood up and helped Rose straighten her clothes.


    Rose suddenly grabbed Edward’s cor and quickly leaned in to kiss him. She smiled as if nothing had


    happened. She put down her top. She felt rxed and refreshed.


    Edward’s stomach was a little full. Rose tilted her head and asked, “So, is it anything like your


    childhood memories?”


    12:38


    Edward stared silently at her. “Is there really a need to talk about how I feel?” he thought.


    “Yes. Rose, you sleep first. I’m going to take a shower.”


    “You can’t be…” Rose burst intoughter.


    Rose nced down and smiled. Edward pinched her chin and gritted his teeth. He threatened her with


    a weak threat, “Rose. You have to pay back everything in two months. Hurry up and sleep.”


    Rose was not afraid. “Sure. You can have as much as you want. I’ll


    apany you. If you want to do it seven days a week, that’s fine too. I don’t mind.”


    Edward rubbed Rose’s face dotingly. “I was just joking with you. Hurry up and lie down. I’ll be back


    soon.”


    “How can I bear to torture her like that? My heart will ache for her,” he thought dotingly.


    In Sapphire City, Ava, Christina, and Joseph were talking about what happened just now. Christina held


    her stomach andughed until her stomach hurt.


    “Sherri’s personality is quite simr to Rose’s. She’s very vivacious and easygoing. Do you usually


    have another chat group?”


    “Yes. We have another one called Fairy Fortress. I’m the one who created the group,” Ava said


    truthfully.


    Christina nodded. “Then, she must have seen the wrong chat group and sent it to this.”


    With Christina’s intelligence, she could guess what had happened at once. After all, the group had


    been around for so long and there had never been such a lively topic. Today was the first time.


    Ava thought so as well. “I think so too. Still, I find Sherri’s incident incredulously funny.”


    “The best way tofort a sad person is to use something that is even sadder than hers to ease her


    sadness. This is a psychological tactic. The sad person will sympathize with you andfort you.


    Then, they will forget about their sadness. It’s the same for Rose.”


    Christina used reason to analyze Sherri’s actions that night. Through this incident, she also understood


    how close their rtionship was. To be able to share such an awkward matter andfort each other,


    Sherri had thrown caution to the wind and was willing to make a fool of herself.


    12:38


    Joseph nodded. “Christina is right. You’re not nning to sleep yet?”


    “I’m going to sleep. I’m here to see you, Christina. I’m going to sleep now. Good night, Christina.”


    Ava stood up and prepared to leave the study. She waved her hand, just as Joseph’s instructions came


    from behind. “Sleep early tonight. Don’t talk to Frank toote. It’s not good to always be sleepingte.”


    “Okay.” Ava made an OK gesture yfully and helped to close the door with a smile.


    Ava quietly went back and shared Sherri’s incident with Frank. She hid Rose’s matter so that Rose


    wouldn’t be criticized by Frank. Especially when Rose was already very embarrassed over it.


    After Ava left, Christina was left with Joseph in the study. On the white wall, the clock dered that it


    was eleven fifteen. The secondhand ticked away industriously.


    Joseph put down his work, clicked the mouse to turn off the page he was working on, and switched off


    theputer. He nced at the clock. “Let’s go to sleep. You can’t apany me like this tomorrow


    night.” “Compared to being alone in the room, I quite like watching you work. You don’t allow me to


    work overtime either. I might as well admire a handsome man.”


    Christina said these flirtatious words easily. When there was no one around, the two of them interacted


    like this.


    Christina was sitting down and Joseph was standing. He stood beside her and raised the hand that had


    the watch around the wrist. He raised Christina’s sharp chin with his index finger and said yfully,


    “Are you saying you miss me?”


    Christina looked up at the man who was looking down at her from above. He was really handsome,


    desirable, and domineering. No wonder she chose to get married in a sh. “Mr. Turner, I’m afraid


    you’re taking this the wrong way. I’m very innocent. I’m just praising you.”


    Then, she patted her stomach. Her meaning was very clear. She could not think about that.


    Joseph smiled. His smile was beautiful and charming. His voice was pleasant when he spoke. “That’s


    what I thought.”


    Then, he leaned over and captured Christina’s beautiful lips with his. He released her almost as


    quickly. He did not n to take a second shower

    tonight. “It’s quitete. Go to bed. Do you want to go to the office tomorrow?”


    The conversation topic changed very quickly. It was as if the flirting just now was imaginary.


    Christina held his arm and walked out of the room. She leaned against him closely. “You’ve reduced my


    workload by half. I’ll finish my work in half a day when I go to thepany. I’ll sleep in your lounge for


    the entire afternoon. If this continues, I’ll end up not doing anything in thepany. I won’t be better


    than Ste. Why don’t you give me more work?”


    “Are you bored?”


    “Can I say a little? I’ve never been so free before.” Christina, who had always been busy, was suddenly


    so free and she was really not used to it. She could not understand why her sister liked to live a life like


    this so much.


    In any case, a carefree and in life was really not suitable for Christina. She felt flustered and did not


    feel fulfilled.


    Joseph knew that she was not used to it, so he followed her wishes. However, he still knew how to


    control the quantity. “Sure, I’ll bring you to watch a show tomorrow to add some fun to your life.”


    Christina stopped in her tracks. She did not understand what he was trying to do. “What do you mean?


    What are you up to?”


    Joseph knew that Christina was curious. “Compared to the expenses of the previous year, this year’s


    has increased by several points.”


    “You suspect that someone is responsible?” Christina understood Joseph’s words in a second.


    It was as if there was no problem with the Turner Corporation at all. He spoke lightly as if everything


    was under control. “Everything is based on evidence.”


    Christina thought that the man in front of her must have set another trap. She gradually realized that


    Joseph liked to set traps for other people. Thest thing anyone could tolerate in apany was


    people who were up to no good.


    The next morning, Christina followed Joseph to thepany to check the ounts. Christina initially


    thought that the check would be done secretly. When the evidence was conclusive, he would ce it


    on the


    476


    12:38 D


    table.


    However, Joseph did not arrange it this way.


    Quinn, who was also Joseph’s secretary, summoned all the higher-ups of thepany early in the


    morning to the Turner Corporation’srgest meeting room.


    The higher-ups of every department sat in the meeting room. Everyone was confused. One of them


    asked boldly, “Mr. Turner, is there something important to discuss? Is that why this meeting is in such a


    hurry?”


    Joseph remained very calm. He sat in the center seat with his legs crossed and ignored everyone’s


    whispers. Quinn sat on the left and Christina sat on the right. They did not speak.


    Joseph did not answer the person’s question. He was toozy to answer. After a while, Pat and Ethan


    came in with a pile of reports. Behind them were several people wearing the same clothes.


    The atmosphere instantly became serious.


    The ostentation was a little intimidating. Ethan and Pat crossed their hands in front of them and stood


    respectfully at the door. They appeared a little scary.


    Looking at the few people sitting around the table, Joseph’s smile became even more terrifying. He


    parted his thin lips slightly and said, “Don’t be nervous. Today’s meeting is very simple. It’s mainly so


    you can learn. Last year, the various departments have been working quite hard, especially the finance


    department. In order to empathize with everyone’s hard work, I invited the most famous ounting firm


    in Sapphire City to help us sort out the ounts. Everyone can see why they have the title of being the


    best. At the same time, you can learn from them. I happen to have time today to broaden my horizons


    with you.”


    With that being said, a few people were already wiping their sweat. So those people were there to


    check the ounts.


    Someone pointed out, “Mr. Turner, it’s not good to let others check ourpany’s ounts like this.


    After all, it’s confidential. What if it gets. leaked?”


    Joseph’s cold gaze turned to the few people in uniform. “Would such a situation happen?”


    Those in uniform shook their heads. “No. We signed a contract when we came here.”

    Christina’s mind was spinning quickly. She felt that something was


    wrong. The person who asked the question was right. The ounts were very confidential. With


    Joseph’s personality, he would not let anyone interfere in thepany’s matters unless…


    Joseph raised his hand to look at his wristwatch and ordered, “It’s about time. Let’s start. We don’t want


    to dy Ms. Yamin’s lunch time.”


    There was silence in the room.

    Christina gave a certain man a ‘what are you doing’ expression. “What is he thinking of when he acts


    affectionately in such a serious atmosphere?” she wondered. The man smiled faintly as though he did


    not care about what happened next.
