Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 565

Emma couldn’t comment on that kind of thing. Whether it was the relationships of her son or daughter, she had

always adhered to the principle of not getting involved.

Seeing that her daughter was displeased, Angie said, “How can you still not be satisfied? You shouldn’t count on

your brother. If you count on him to get

married first, you’ll be a nun for the rest of your life.”

Stella was trying to save her brother and get herself out of the predicament at the same time. She told her mother

not to turn her sights on her and started to give a speech. “Mom, look. Chris is so outstanding. How can he be a

bachelor? I really don’t think we can just give up on him like that.”

Seeing the few of them narrow their eyes at her, Stella coughed dryly and continued to bluff, “I think Chris can still

be saved. He’s not as bad as you think yet. We can try to help him get back on track. Look at how cute Christina’s

baby is. Even if you don’t want a grandson or granddaughter, I still want a nephew or niece. Look at Ava. She has

numerous nieces and nephews. How perfect is that? I only have a nephew now.”

Stella counted with her fingers.

Natalie was stunned when she heard this. “Isn’t this kind of persuasion a little too obvious?” she thought.

Emma and Natalie looked at each other and smiled. Neither of them spoke. They planned to let Stella continue her

performance.

In order not to be pimped out by her mother, Stella put in her best in her effort to get away. “Mom, tell me if what I

said makes sense. Chris is actually very outstanding. Look. He has it all. Culture and capability. He even has the

perfect job. It’s just that he is a little dumb at times. That is not a fault at all. Look. Doesn’t Natalie also cure

Trevon’s arrogance? There will always be a cure for a flaw. Isn’t that what they say? You have to match the

medicine to the illness. Chris’s medicine is definitely still on the way.”

Emma was amused by Stella’s words. Stella spoke matter-of-factly. Now that Stella was working under Leia, she

spoke more and more like her. She did not even pause when she spoke.

Angie naturally noticed her daughter’s improvement. “You’ve been with Leia for so long, but I haven’t noticed

anything else except you’ve become quite eloquent. You can just come up with a speech on the spot.”

Stella thought to herself, “That’s right. The speed of Ms. March, when she speaks, is one of the fastest. No matter

what, she is my teacher. I learn a little from her.”

Leia had said that the most important thing about intimidating others was speed. One had to make their arguments

continuously before the others could react.

“Didn’t you and Christina ask me to study hard with Ms. March? I’m just listening to you guys. If I don’t improve at

all, Christina will scold me again. Mom, you really should consider my suggestion. Seriously, my brother is such a

good person. He’s so outstanding.” Stella sighed inwardly. It was the first time in more than 20 years that she sang

her brother’s praises like that.

After saying that, Stella winked at Natalie, indicating that she had succeeded. Natalie smiled and did not know what

to say.

Angie was a little persuaded by her daughter. As parents, no one wanted their children to remain single forever.

She didn’t want Chris to have to celebrate Single’s Day every year.

“But there’s nothing I could do about him. Your brother is holed up in the hospital every day. It’s not like he will pick

up a wife if he goes on a walk around the street. Or do you think that one will fall from the sky?”

Besides, it was possible to pick up money from the ground. A wife, on the other hand, was not a possibility.

Stella spoke mysteriously and with a special gaze as if she could predict the future. “Fate, Mom, do you know fate? I

predict that my brother’s fate is not far away. Mom, don’t be anxious. When we get back to Athana, I’ll help you pay

more attention.”

How could Angie not know what her daughter was thinking? She just couldn’t be bothered to expose her. “Alright,

alright. If you help your brother become normal, I can even call you my sister.”

Hearing this, Natalie burst out laughing. From her words, it could be seen that Angie was really anxious about

Chris’s marriage.

“No, I’d better still call you Mom.” Stella was afraid of being struck by lightning if her mother decided to call her

sister. As long as Angie didn’t drag her towards the altar, it was fine. She didn’t have any other requests. She didn’t

have any

extravagant hopes for working at the front desk anymore. After all, she couldn’t go back to her old post.

The next morning, everyone went to send Natalie and Trevon. Jasper brought all the toys given by Ava and Frank.

The little guy had the most gains out of the trip. He ate delicious food and had fun.

After sending off Natalie and the others, Joseph took Frank and the Yamin family to tour Sapphire City. In the

afternoon, Joseph left. He wanted to go back and see Christina.

Joseph had done his homework about pregnancy and childbirth. The biggest problem he was afraid of was Christina

becoming depressed after giving birth. Girls like Stella who liked to slack off would not be in danger of that.

However, Christina was different. She liked to live a fulfilling life, but she was the most free during her postpartum

recovery. She ate, slept, and slept and ate. She would keep an eye on her child every day. Once she took things too

seriously, she

2/6

would have a tendency to be depressed.

The meticulous Joseph would always want to accompany her and tease her. At the same time, he would chat about

what happened every day. Or he would bring his work home and accompany Christina during her postpartum

recovery. They would sit on the bed and deal with work together. Christina would watch him work and he would

occasionally let Christina participate.

It could be said that he put in a lot of effort.

Daniel was afraid of neglecting Angie and Charlie. In the afternoon, he asked his daughter to send their location and

personally accompanied Angie and Charlie to tour Sapphire City.

At the same time, Trevon and Natalie arrived at Athana off. When Jim received Trevon’s message, he immediately

came to the airport to wait for them.

He didn’t want to be caught in a traffic jam and have his salary deducted. Jim believed that Trevon was hormonal

and erratic after marriage as in the previous years. It was something that only Natalie could treat.

“I’ll handle everything, Mrs. Wilson. Give me this too.” Jim took the stuff from Natalie.

Looking at Jim who was dragging three suitcases, Natalie suggested, “Mr. Hawk, why don’t you give me one? It

doesn’t weigh much.”

Jim quickly waved his hand. He did not dare. “No need, Mrs. Wilson. I’ve been on a diet recently and need to

workout more.”

Upon hearing this, Trevon glanced at Jim from behind his sunglasses. “You’ve been lucky recently.”

Jim didn’t understand what Trevon meant. He replied, “No, I don’t think so. I didn’t pick up any money yesterday,

nor did I win the lottery.” He did not think he was lucky in any way.

In the car, Trevon sat in the back seat with his son in his arms. Natalie thanked Jim.

Jim looked ahead seriously and pursed his lips without saying anything. Trevon’s low voice came from the backseat.

“Are you on the same side as Frank?”

Jim was dumbfounded. He looked at the man in the rearview mirror and saw that he looked as he always did. It was

impossible to tell if Trevon was in a good or bad mood, but his words were confusing.

Natalie nudged the man beside him and reminded him, “Don’t start talking and stop halfway. Be direct. Mr. Hawk is

still driving.”

Jim gave Natalie a thumbs up in his mind. Only she would dare to talk to Trevon so directly.

“Your next month’s bonus will double. Tell me, how did you know that Frank would make a surprise move? Did you

discuss it with him in advance? Did you

3/6

cheat?”

“Mr. Wilson, for goodness’ sake. I didn’t even touch the phone when we made the bet the other day. I answered you

directly. I don’t have the ability to read minds, so I couldn’t possibly just tell you what Mr. Roberts’s thoughts were

from afar.” If he had such ability, he would have been lying in bed at home and slacking.

Jim was in a hurry to explain himself. Trevon really knew how to make trouble for him.

Trevon actually knew that Jim had never discussed it with Frank at all. How could Frank tell others what he was

thinking? Frank had deliberately told Trevon he would leave a few days later, but in the end, he went to Sapphire

City on the same day. It was only because Trevon knew Frank well that he made an inappropriate call in the middle

of that night.

For the rest of the ride, Trevon ignored Jim. As for Jim, he was delighted because his bonus had doubled.

It was still some time before they reached the Wilson’s residence. Natalie, who had been on the plane for so long,

felt a little sore in her back. She leaned against Trevon’s shoulder and prepared to tell Emma that they had landed

safely.

Sliding the screen lock on her phone, she said, “Aunt Emma, I’ve reached. Don’t worry.”

Then, she thought about it. Since Joseph had gone out to play with Ava, she should send a message to them as well.

Little did she know that Joseph had already returned home. At this moment, he was accompanying Christina as he

told her about the fun things that happened on their tour of Sapphire City.

Natalie texted, [Joseph, I’ve reached home. Have fun today.]

Joseph quickly replied, [I’m already at home. Ava and Frank are still outside. It’s good that you’re back. Call me if

you need anything. If you need anything at the base, let me know.]

Natalie’s heart was filled with warmth. Joseph was always so warm-hearted and generous with his support for her.

[Alright, thank you, Joseph. Take good care of Christina. I see that Christina doesn’t like to sleep much and doesn’t

like to lie down. Joseph, spend more time with her. Pregnant women are prone to depression.]

Joseph responded, [I know.]

All the content of the conversation was read by Trevon whose head was lowered. A man’s voice came from above

her head. His eyes were narrowed. “Is the tomboy depressed?”

She put away her phone and put it in her pocket. “No. But when I entered Christina’s room yesterday, I realized that

she was a little bored. After we left, she didn’t sleep or lie down. Don’t pregnant women spend most of their

postpartum recovery sleeping with their children so they can regain their vitality? But I realized that Christina

doesn’t like to sleep. In such a situation, if Joseph isn’t at

4/6

10:00

home and doesn’t accompany her, she will become more and more bored. In addition, Christina has always been

very busy. When she’s so free, she will feel empty inside. It’s better to be careful.”

The man nodded with understanding. He didn’t look very concerned and was just asking casually. Anyway, it wasn’t

his Natalie who was sick. Besides, they weren’t having any more children so such a thing wouldn’t happen.

At the same moment, in Sapphire City, Ava held Frank’s hand and followed Daniel, Angie, and Charlie. They walked

around for a long time before Daniel led everyone into a particularly stylish, dimly lit cafe.

“Come. We can sit for a while and take a break. We’ve been walking for a long time. How is it? The air here in

Sapphire City is still okay, right?” Daniel was wearing a suit and leather shoes. He had rushed over directly from the

company. He handed the menu to Angie and Charlie and asked them to order something to drink. “Go on. Take a

look. What do you want to drink? Let’s rest our feet. There’s no hurry. You can still come out tomorrow.”

The bodyguards standing at the door were carrying bags of various sizes. Ava ordered a cappuccino and Frank got

a latte. Angie did not like coffee. She was afraid that she would not be able to sleep at night and would be too

awake, so she ordered a glass of milk.

Stella was in an extremely good mood. She kept praising, “I like this city. It’s so awesome. I’ll come again next

time.”

Daniel smiled at her. “You definitely have to come. This is also your sister’s home, which means it is yours too. You

can come over anytime.”

“Why don’t you ask Daniel to find you a man here?” Angie took a sip of milk. She quite liked the local customs here.

“Mom, why did you go off topic while chatting? Did the essays you write in school always digress?” Stella pouted.
