Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 537

The next morning.

Christina and Joseph went to register their marriage. After registering, she sent her love witness in the two group

chats.

One was from the Yamin family group chat, while the other was the group Natalie had created.

The two groups instantly exploded. Christina did not even know which one to reply to. Without waiting for her to

consider, Angie called directly. “Your cert is real, right? You didn’t get a fake cert, right?”

Her voice was so loud that even Joseph, who was in the driver’s seat, heard and laughed. Fortunately, he did not tell

his mother-in-law that the previous photos were fake. Otherwise, Christina’s credibility would be even lower.

Christina rubbed her temples helplessly and promised, “Mom, it’s more real than pure gold. Don’t worry.”

Hearing this, Angie was overjoyed. The sound of her slapping her thigh could be heard through the call. “Oh my,

that’s great. You’ve finally figured it out. I was so worried about your marriage that I couldn’t sleep well, but I can

finally sleep well tonight. If you don’t want to hold a wedding, I’m fine with it, but since we’re quite close with the

neighbors, I’ll buy some wedding candies in the afternoon to send them some. You don’t need me to remind you

about your next mission, right? You know what to do, don’t you? I’ll remind you again. You’re almost 30 years old.”

With one goal achieved, Angie subtly hinted at the next goal.

Christina took a deep breath. She placed one hand on the car window and rubbed her temples. “Mom, can you give

me a break? I’m already speeding.”

“So what if you’re speeding? I’ll pay the ticket for you. So, just speed without a worry in the world,”

Upon hearing this, Christina did not know whether to laugh or cry. She could not continue chatting with her mother.

If they continued chatting, they would probably be talking about the child’s name soon. Christina hurriedly found an

excuse and said that she had something to do.

Only then did Angie hang up the call after reminding Christina to hurry up and get a child.

A pleasant voice came from beside Christina. Joseph’s sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and the air conditioner

in the car was at a comfortable temperature. The blue dial on his wrist flickered with light, and his lips curled into a

faint smile as he said, “Is your mom in a hurry about the child?”

Christina continued to support herself with one hand on the car window. Her fingers dug into her hair as she rubbed

it. Being urged to get married was not the most awkward. Being urged to have children was. She touched her ear

stud and said, “She’s just too free.”

“If you want, we can try harder tonight. We should be able to complete her mission.”

“Joseph, why do I feel that you’re becoming more and more, you know, that?” For some reason, she recalled a

certain man’s perverted words last night.

“Every time I see the photo, I want to do you.” This sentence had often appeared in Christina’s mind these past few

days. Combined with the man’s energy at night, she indeed felt that it was very in line with his animalistic nature.

This man would transform into an animal at night.

His smile was extremely charming. As the rays of sunlight shone into the car, he said casually, “That’s love.”

Joseph knew when to stop and did not continue to talk about this. He changed the topic. “Do we need to distribute

wedding candies in Athana even if we’re not holding a wedding there? If we do, I’ll get Trevon to prepare and let

him distribute them for Mom.”

He started to call Angie “Mom” quite soon.

Christina sat sideways. “This depends on the person. You can understand it as Mom wanting to make a comeback.

While distributing wedding candies, she also wants to show off. Her three children have always been single, so it’s

inevitable that there will be gossip. My mother has probably heard too much. Now that she sees that I’m married,

with her unwillingness to admit defeat, she has to make a comeback.”

Since his mother-in-law was aggrieved and had such a request, Joseph, of course, was going to fulfill it

unconditionally. Without hesitation, he found Trevon’s number on the screen and dialed it. The person on the other

end of the line should be in the company.

“Joseph.” The surroundings were very quiet. Not a single sound could be heard.

Trevon’s deep voice reverberated in the car. No emotions could be detected.

Joseph glanced at the time on the screen and guessed, “In a meeting?”

“Yeah. What is it?” Trevon said calmly. At the same time, he gestured to stop the person who was reporting.

Joseph finally used his status as Trevon’s big brother and said, “Tell someone to help me buy some high-end

wedding candy gift boxes and distribute them to the Yamin family’s villa area.”

There was a few seconds of silence.

Trevon thought that he had misheard. After thinking about it, he realized that there was no way Joseph would be

bored enough to make such a joke. The only explanation was that since Joseph and Christina had registered their

marriage, Joseph was prepared to use his strength to help his mother-in-law turn things around.

Trevon did not show any surprise, nor did he refuse. “Alright. Any specific requirement regarding the wedding

candy?”

Joseph believed that Trevon could arrange it. There was no need to say anything. “You arrange it.”

Christina thought, “Arrange what? Letting Trevon’s people send wedding candies is already the best way to turn

things around for Mom. Joseph’s really smart to think of this move. Trevon has no other choice but to accept this

job. After all, he is Joseph’s brother-in-law.

Just as Christina expected, Trevon agreed. “Okay, I’ll make the arrangements after the meeting. I’ll make them

today.”

The call ended, and the meeting continued.

In the car.

Christina could not help but admire Joseph. “Only you can command Trevon. Ordinary people can’t command him.”

Her mother would probably be so overjoyed that she could not sleep at night.

Then, Joseph asked Christina about what Emma had told him to ask before they left the house. Emma had asked his

son to ask Christina if she wanted to buy a marital home. If Christina did, she would let his son take Christina to

choose it, mainly focusing on what Christina liked. If Christina wanted to live in the manor, she would decorate the

house,

“Christina, do

you want to live with Mom and Dad, or do you want us to buy a house alone?”

In a second, Christina thought of the word “home” and said with certainty, “I quite like Dad and Mom, and I also like

the

manor.”

Joseph understood what she meant and thanked her sincerely. “Thank “There’s no need to be polite between us,

Hubby.”

you,

Christina.”

Joseph stretched out a hand and held the steering wheel with one hand. He interlocked his fingers with Christina’s

and held them tightly. The emotional fluctuations between the two of them could be clearly felt from their warmth.

In the afternoon, at Athana.

Trevon put quite a lot of effort into it. He personally brought Jim and a group of bodyguards to the Yamin family’s

villa.

The wedding candies were unloaded by a group of bodyguards. Then, he asked the bodyguards to knock on every

door and explain that it was the wedding candy of the Yamin family’s eldest daughter.

Meanwhile, Trevon looked like a model on the platform, wearing a black suit and did not have a thick coat to keep

him warm. His figure was smooth, and his eyes were fixed on a certain spot.

He stood upright by the car and leisurely ate the lemon candy. His eyes narrowed in the sourness.

Jim stood at the side and ordered the bodyguards, “Take these over there. You guys, go over there and distribute

them. Don’t miss anything. If the owner is not home, hang the candies on the door handle and stuff the prepared

note. If there’s anyone who doesn’t know about Ms. Yamin’s wedding tomorrow, those of you who are in charge of

that house are responsible for explaining personally tomorrow.”

“After the new year, you’ve become much more efficient. You’ve been educated by your mother at home, haven’t

you? Didn’t you go on a blind date? When are you getting married?”

Jim really wanted to say to Trevon, “After the new year, you’ve become so gossipy. Are you very free?”

However, since Trevon paid his salary, Jim did not say what he was thinking. He forced a smile and replied, “The girl

didn’t like me and said that my salary was too low and my house wasn’t big enough.”

Jim was clearly telling the truth, but to Trevon, it sounded like something else.

Trevon paused with the candy in his mouth and smiled mysteriously. His smile made Jim panic. His low and cold

voice entered Jim’s eardrums. “Are you subtly reminding me that I should give you a raise and buy you a wedding

house?”

Jim hurriedly explained to the cold-faced man and shook his head. “No, no. My salary is already very high. It’s that

girl who’s too demanding and thinks that I’m not the boss.”

Trevon completely ignored Jim’s other words. He only heard the words “not the boss”, and deliberately teased,

“Should I give up my position to you?”

Jim felt that the more he explained, the worse the situation became, and he could not explain himself clearly at all.

How did he end up being accused of usurping power? He was truly not lying earlier.

The village chief thought that Jim was an elite from a big city, so he found a white-collar worker to go on a blind

date with him. In the end, that woman did not like Jim at all. She either despised him for not having a big house in

Athana or for not

having a high salary. In the end, she even asked him if he had any thoughts of quitting his job and doing his own

business.

As for the house, Jim felt that there was no need to buy such a big one for him to live alone. Therefore, Trevon

agreed to Jim’s request and bought him a single-room apartment. It was enough for him to live alone.

As for the girl’s question about asking him to quit and do his own business, Jim said that he did not have such

thoughts at all. When the girl heard that, she left without another word. Before she left, she even told Jim that it

would be very difficult for him to find a girlfriend with his conditions.

“Mr. Wilson, I’ll go over there to help. It’ll be faster this way.” After saying that, Jim quickly knocked on the door with

the gift box and joined the bodyguards.

In the distance.

Angie, who was about to go out to buy wedding candies, thought that she was hallucinating. When she got closer,

she finally realized that was not the case. She shouted at the top of her voice, “Trevon, why are you here? Are

you… distributing the wedding candies of your marriage? Actually, there’s no need. You’ve been married for so

long. You don’t have to do this.”

Trevon pressed his hand against his lips and coughed to explain, “Mrs. Yamin, I’m not sending my wedding candies.

Joseph asked me to help distribute the wedding candies for… him and Christina.”

Angie was at a loss for words. Was her son-in-law this considerate?

This was quite grand.

Angie was extremely surprised. The main reason was that Joseph had asked Trevon, his brother-in-law, to help

personally distribute wedding candies. There was a deeper meaning behind this.

Angie was overjoyed. She was so satisfied with Joseph as his son-in-law.

While she was in a daze, a few rich ladies who had received wedding candy came out to check on the situation.

They were carrying high-end wedding candy boxes in their hands, but they did not believe what the bodyguards

said.

“Oh my, it’s really you, Mrs. Yamin. I thought they were talking nonsense. This is really your daughter’s wedding

candy.” Her tone was sarcastic, and there was no blessing in her words at all.

Another said, “That’s right. You guys didn’t even hold a wedding. I thought they were talking nonsense.”

Angie was full of confidence now. “That’s right. That’s my daughter’s wedding candy. She has gone overseas with

my son-in-law. They’re basically settled down there.”

“Ah, they’re living overseas? What, she married a foreigner?” The other person was also sarcastic. She really

looked down on foreigners.

Angie did not like it at all. What was wrong with foreigners? Just as she was about to retort, Trevon said indifferently,

“Because I’m the richest man in Athana. If Christina wants to find the richest man, she can only go overseas. After

all, I’m married.”

The women said three words in unison. Their voices were loud and envious. “The richest man?”

Angie was also very shocked. Christina had never told her that her son-in-law was the richest man. However, she

chose to act as if she knew and did not show any surprise.

“Yes. The candies are quite expensive. Eat more, and it’ll make you sound less bitter.”

Trevon said expressionlessly.

The women knew Trevon. How many wealthy families in Athana did not know this man? Of course, they knew that

he wouldn’t spout nonsense. They were just more curious about why Trevon was distributing wedding candies.

Angie brushed her curly hair and said, “My son-in-law is Trevon’s brother-in-law. Their relationship is rather

strange.”

Hearing this, the few of them came to a realization. So that was the case.

However, they could not help but be filled with jealousy. Due to Trevon’s support, it was not appropriate for them to

say anything. Thus, they only gave a few words of blessings against their will and left.

Many people gathered around to strike up a conversation. Some came to show their faces, while others came to

give their blessings. Angie did not care if they were sincere or not. In short, she was overjoyed today. She especially

thanked Trevon and kept calling him her son-in-law.

“Trevon, thanks for all of this. I’m really grateful to you. I’ve got my revenge today.”

“Mrs. Yamin, you’re too kind. I’ll get going first.” Trevon signaled his subordinates to give the remaining wedding

candies to Angie. After receiving the instructions, Jim hurriedly moved the candies to the villa for Angie.

“Thank you, Jim. You’ve worked hard. Do you want to come in for a cup of coffee?”

Seeing that Trevon had already gotten into the back seat, Jim also got into the driver’s seat, waved his hand, and

said, “Mrs. Yamin, there’s no need, We still have a meeting later, so we’ll leave first.”

Ray, okay. Bye. Bye.”

After saying that, Angie hummed a little song and returned to the villa. During this period, everyone looked at her

differently. In an instant, the entire neighborhood knew that Christina had married the richest man.

Actually, Angie did not want to be high-profile, but she had no choice. It was because the wives of the wealthy

families were more aggressive that Trevon could not stand it

anymore.

Trevon was a more protective person. He could not watch Joseph’s mother-in-law be bullied brazenly.

Otherwise, Joseph would have to settle scores with him again. He might as well explain. As for the subsequent

troubles, he did not care.

In the car, Trevon sat in the back seat and said, “That’s a good excuse.”

Jim discovered that his boss’s endocrine system was a little imbalanced after the New Year. His words were also

sarcastic sometimes. He wondered if Trevon kept finding fault with him because his personal needs were not

attended to.

“Well, it was a flash of insight. Mrs. Yamin is too polite.”

After that, Trevon ignored Jim. He sat in the backseat and pretended to be asleep with a chilly aura. Jim focused on

driving at the front.

From time to time, he would secretly glance at the man in the backseat.
