Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 559

Upstairs, Christina was sitting up in the bed with a little baby in her arms. Christina’s face was slightly pale.

Perhaps she had just been discharged from the hospital and had yet to

recover.

Joseph took a pillow and placed it behind Christina’s back. Just as he was about to apologize, Christina stopped him.

“Joseph, go out first. I’ll talk to them.”

When he heard this, Joseph did not move. Seeing that he did not move, Christina smiled and gave him a reassuring

smile. “Go. I’ll talk to Dad and Mom alone.”

Seeing her smile, he agreed. “Angie, Charlie, I’ll go down first. Call me if you need anything.”

Angie replied, “Aye. Alright.”

The door closed. Only Christina, Angie, Charlie, and a baby who could not speak remained in the room.

Christina was not in a hurry to explain the lie she had told. Lying was not allowed in the Yamin family, especially

when it came to deceiving their parents. “Do you want to see your grandson first or listen to the explanation first?

“I have to clarify it in advance. I’m the mastermind behind the deception. It has nothing to do with Joseph and my

in-laws. They just listen to me.”

Her in-laws were really nice. Christina didn’t want her parents to misunderstand them.

Angie’s gaze was fixed on the little baby in her daughter’s arms. She had wanted to hug the baby for a long time,

but she had to put on an angry face. “I’ll hug him while you explain.”

“Come! Let Grandma carry you. Look, Charlie! Look at how handsome our grandson is. How many girls will he

charm in the future?”

Charlie also came closer to take a look. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly and deepened. He looked at his

daughter with heartache. “Lie down. Don’t sit up. It’s not that we want to blame you. It’s just that, why didn’t you

tell us about such a big thing as you giving birth? You’re too strong-willed.”

Christina still did not lie down. She glanced at her mother, who was

178

teasing the child. “I can’t control the baby from coming out in a hurry. Besides, it’s too late to inform you when the

water broke. I’ll still be done giving birth even if you rush over. Instead of making you anxious, I might as well let

you come and see the surprise yourself.”

The analysis was logical. Since they couldn’t be there when she was giving birth, all they could do was wait outside

and be anxious.

Besides, Christina was not alone when she gave birth. After the anesthesia, Joseph accompanied her. Joseph

chatted with her the entire time to divert attention from her nervousness. She listened to him quietly.

He had changed from a domineering man to someone gentle in an instant. Afraid that she would be nervous,

Joseph chose to keep talking to her. The man, who was not very talkative to begin with, started talking about when

he was young, to marrying her, and then about their future. He did not stop at all the whole time. Even now, the

memory was still vivid in her mind. She was extremely touched. When she was alone, she still thought about the

few hours in the delivery room. The way Joseph had looked at her gently gave her a sense of security. Her face was

reflected in his eyes. At that moment, she felt that it was worth it to be a man who could switch between being

domineering and gentle.

“When I ask you one question, you always have ten questions waiting to be explained. It’s a real loss to the world of

lawyers that you’re not a lawyer.'”‘

When she saw her grandson, Angie was in such a good mood and could not get angry at all. She also was in the

mood to tease her daughter.

Although what she said was the truth, Charlie still hoped that his daughter would not hide it from them in the future.

He said sternly, “Christina, there can’t be a next time. Even if your mom and I can’t accompany you, we can still

take care of you immediately when you come out.”

”

Christina automatically ignored her mother’s teasing. “Alright. I’ll pay attention in the future. If I have a second

child, I’ll bring you over a month in advance.”

Angie did not trust her daughter, who always had a mind of her own. Who knew if she would be able to do it the

next time even if she made a promise this time? It was just that Angie was in a good mood after seeing her

grandson that she did not want to pursue her daughter’s lie.

“Dad, it’s really not Joseph’s fault this time. Don’t have any thoughts about him. He was the one who accompanied

me when I gave birth. He’s very good to me.” He was really very good. Christina was still afraid that her father

would have a problem with Joseph.

Charlie nudged Angie’s arm with his arm. “I don’t have any objections to him. Don’t worry. You’ve been hugging him

for a while. Let me hug him.” “I’ve only been here for a few minutes. Wait a little longer.” Angie could not bear to

put down the little guy in her arms.

Seeing her parents fighting to hold the child, Christina smiled and took the time to send a message to Joseph. There

were no words, only an [OK].

Joseph texted back, [Roger.]

Charlie was a little disappointed that he couldn’t steal the child from his wife. “Alright. You can carry him first. I’ll

take photos, right? I have to take a photo for William to see. The last time Rose gave birth, he was so smug that he

almost might as well write it in red on our lawn.”

Charlie took out his phone and took a few photos of his grandson in Angie’s arms. Then, he sent them to William.

[My grandson. Very handsome, right? Aren’t you envious?]

Downstairs, Stella posted the photos on her social media after she took them. She entered the living room as if she

were at home and hummed a little song. “Um, Joseph, where are my parents?”

Joseph glanced at Stella, who appeared in a good mood. He said without changing his expression, “Charlie and

Angie are upstairs looking at the baby.”

“Oh.”

Half a second later, she responded, “What… What are they looking at? Baby?”

Stella thought that she had misheard. She blinked her eyes and stared at Joseph. She even forgot to close her

mouth.

She was absolutely stunned.

Joseph had already guessed that she would have such an expression. He smiled faintly and simply told her, “Yes,

your sister has already given birth. You can go upstairs and take a look.”

Stella was dumbfounded. “Didn’t Christina say that there was still a week before the due date? What happened to

the week? Weren’t I here to

12:59 C

accompany her for the delivery?” she thought wildly.

“You can go up and see if your little nephew is cute. Let’s go. I’ll go with you.” Emma’s gentle voice pulled Stella

back from her wandering thoughts.

Stella was still in a daze. She replied in a daze, “Oh. Sure. Okay.”

She was led upstairs by Emma. The door was pushed open. The couple in the room was still fighting over who

should hold the child. Charlie looked at his wife unhappily. Stella jogged over to see the baby. She wanted to know if

it was true.

When she saw the cute little baby, Stella was completely convinced. She suddenly raised her voice. “Christina, when

did you give birth? Why didn’t I know at all?”

Angie patted her daughter’s hand. “Be gentle. This is his face, not a football. Can you be more gentle? Be careful so

you don’t hurt him.”

Stella was eager to give it a try and wanted to hug him too. “Can I carry him?”

“No. You’re very clumsy. You can watch for a day and learn before you -carry him.” Angie smacked the back of her

youngest daughter’s hand

heavily.

Emma slowly walked to Angie and Charlie’s side. “The baby is quite obedient. He sleeps after eating and is not noisy

at all.

“Stella, it’s fine. I’ll let your sister teach you how to carry him later. There’s no hurry. You can stay for a few more

days. Since you’re already here, you can relax for a few days and let Joseph bring you guys around to have fun.”

Speaking of fun, Stella was overjoyed. She replied sweetly, “Alright, Emma.”

“Alright, you stay here. Don’t disturb your sister’s rest. Your nephew is asleep. If you wake him up later, you can

watch out. Be careful not to make any noise when you speak.” Angie carefully placed the child who had fallen

asleep again back into the cradle. She was very reluctant to let go of him.

She kept nagging at her unreliable youngest daughter.

“Christina, your mother and I will be downstairs. If you need anything, you can call me or call for Joseph,” Emma

said.

“Yes. Okay.” When Angie and Charlie saw Emma taking care of their

12:39

daughter, they were very relieved. At least, that was what parents wanted

to see.

Especially for parents whose children married far away, they were most afraid that their children would only tell

them the good news and hide the bad news from them. However, they had always been more reassured with

Emma. Emma’s temper was too good.

In the living room downstairs, Joseph heard the sound at the top of the stairs. After thinking for a while, he took out

his phone and sent a message to Natalie. [Natalie, Christina has given birth to a son.]

Now that the Yamin family people knew, he had to tell Natalie before Stella leaked the news. Otherwise, Natalie

would be angry.

Natalie didn’t go to work today. She brought Lena to the base for a checkup before going home.

As soon as she reached the Wilson’s residence, a message came in. She was not in a hurry to check it. Instead, she

helped Lena into the house and sat down on the couch before taking out her phone.

Theo saw the smile on Lena’s face and smiled. “Your checkup went alright, yes?”

Lena nodded.

Theo sighed. “Look! Things aren’t that complicated. Don’t think about the bad side when you encounter trouble.

You can move after changing a part. You can even move for a long time. If it’s broken in the future, we’ll let the

child change it again.” Theo had a good mentality. His mellow voice sounded especially comforting.

Natalie stood there as she turned on her phone and checked her messages. After reading Joseph’s message, she

smiled. “My sister-in-law has given birth.”

She thought it had just happened, and her happy voice nearly broke.

Upon hearing this, Theo, Rachel, Lena, and everyone in the living room were all ears. Theo asked, “She gave birth

today? Is it a boy or a girl?”

“A boy.”

“That’s good. How wonderful.” Theo nodded continuously as he leaned on his walking stick. He was genuinely

happy for these young people who had fallen in love and finally got married.

Rachel was silent for a few seconds. “When do you plan to go with Trevon?”

12:59

Seeing that Natalie was silent, Rachel spoke again, “If you’re worried, bring Jasper with you. I’ll look after the two

younger ones with Lena. There’s still Mary at home.”

Natalie was a little hesitant. After all, the two children were still young. “I’ll discuss it with Trevon.”

Rachel replied calmly, “Sure.”

Theo continued, “Natalie, Rachel is right. You can go if you want. There are so many people in the family. Surely we

can take care of children who are only a few months old. If they can walk, I may not be able to take care of them.

But they’re in the cradle. Although I am old, I can still help.”

Gage stood at the side and volunteered too. Now, the Wilson family really felt like home. Natalie was also sensible.

After giving birth, she did not return to Phoenix Manor. She was willing to stay in the Wilson’s residence and

accompany Theo.

“I can help watch over them too, Mrs. Wilson,” Mary agreed. “Don’t think that we’re old. It’s not a problem to help

out.”

The postpartum caregiver had already been fired. There was no need for one since there were many people in the

family.

Natalie smiled and sat down on the couch. Theo asked his

great-grandson, “Do you want to go to Sapphire City to look for Grandpa Daniel, Grandma Emma, and Auntie Ava?”

Jasper said, “Yes. Auntie Ava has toys.”

Theo chuckled. “You’re smart. You haven’t even gone yet and you’re already thinking about your Auntie Ava buying

you toys. If you want to, let your mommy take you there. That’s it. Your great-grandfather has made the decision.”

Theo gave the order and settled the matter. “Natalie, you haven’t gone out for fun since you gave birth. It’s been a

long time since you went back to visit your family. You’ll stay for a few days this time.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you. I’ll send a message to Trevon then.”

At the Wilson Group, a man sat on the chair as he signed a few documents. Perhaps it had been too long, but he

was pinching the spot between his brows. The phone beside him began to vibrate, and the word ‘Love’ jumped on

the screen.

“Love

He quickly picked up his phone and swiped the lock button to open message. [Chistina has given birth to a son.

When are we going to

the

12:59

Sapphire City? Theo and Rachel asked us to go. The time depends on you.]

After reading the message, Trevon’s thin lips curled up and his eyes were smiling. His slender fingers tapped on the

screen as he replied, [I’m fine with anything. My time is all yours. We can go whenever you want.]

The answer was perfect. Natalie immediately made a decision.

[Tomorrow then. The results of Lena’s examination today are not bad. She’s recovering quite well.]

Trevon stared at the phone screen seriously and replied with a gentle look in his eyes, [I’ll listen to your

arrangements. Are we bringing Jasper?] Natalie texted, [Jasper wants to go.]

Trevon scowled. [Then we’ll bring the brat along.]

Natalie really wanted to expose him. He clearly treasured Jasper so much,

but he kept calling him a brat.
