Chapter 497
After dinner, the Turner family bade farewell and left the Wilson’s residence. Theo asked them to stay for a while, and Daniel secretly told Theo that he missed Frank.
Theo laughed out loud after hearing this. Frank was a likable child and Theo did not ask them to stay.
Trevon helped the two little girls change into diapers. After coaxing them to sleep, he became a professional driver and sent the Turner family to the Roberts family. When the car passed by the supermarket, Joseph asked him to stop the car halfway.
“Stop by the side. I’m going to the supermarket. You guys can go first. I’ll go myself later.”
Ava opened the window and stuck her head out. “Joseph, what do you want to buy? Did you forget to bring anything you need?”
She remembered that Frank had prepared everything in the Roberts family. Last time, Grace had prepared a super large number of new toothbrushes, towels, cups, and blankets. They did not lack basic daily necessities. They probably did not need to buy anything themselves.
Joseph tidied up his clothes. It was still a little cold when the cold night wind sneaked into his sweater. The car’s window was slightly open, but Trevon felt that the temperature was quite low. Trevon kindly suggested, “Joseph, why don’t I give you my coat?”
Ever since he had two little girls, Trevon could only like warmth and not grace. At home, he would wear a warm coat and pajamas every day. If he wore too little, he would be scolded by Theo.
The reason was simple. Theo was afraid that Trevon would catch a cold and spread the virus to the three children and Natalie.
“No need. I will go.” In the end, Joseph still did not tell Ava what he was going to do. He adjusted his coat on his body. It was indeed a little cold.
In the car, Emma comforted Ava and patted her hand. “Don’t worry, Joseph is already an adult.” Recently, Ava had always been especially worried about Joseph and hoped that he could be taken care of by a woman.
Ever since he was young, Joseph had been taking care of others. Ava hoped that one day, there would be someone who could take care of Joseph. This woman would love Joseph very much and help Joseph. Let him stop and rest.
Trevon, who was driving in front of them, smiled and didn’t tell them anything. Then he said, “Daniel, Emma, you can stay in Athana for a few more days.”
Daniel said, “During the holiday, we are going to stay for a few more days this time. I’m going to wait until the company starts work before I go back. As for Ava, it should be before school starts. It will be a little longer than us.”
“Okay, then Natalie will be very happy if she knows it.”
Emma smiled. “Trevon, thank you for your hard work.” Joseph had already told them about Trevon sneaking into the operating theater. As her family, she was touched and gratified.
Trevon became a person with high emotional intelligence. He spoke to Emma, “Emma, you flattered me. What I have done is just my duty as a husband. Natalie is the hardest.”
In the supermarket.
Joseph was actually here to help Ava buy her favorite potato chips. After staying with the Roberts family for a while last time, when they returned to Sapphire City, Ava always talked about a brand of potato chips that tasted super good.
Joseph had already memorized it. This time, they didn’t inform the Roberts family in advance when they came to the Roberts family. The Roberts family did not know at all. They might not have prepared Ava’s favorite food.
Wearing a black mask, one could not see the exquisite handsome face under the mask. One could only see his good figure and the noble aura exuding from his entire body. He pushed the supermarket cart and naturally wandered around the snack area. Joseph compared the sugar content of every snack, he didn’t want to buy those foods with flavoring essence.
In the distance, a woman in a long black coat had her gaze fixed on Joseph. She frowned without blinking. She had a gray -scarf in her hand, short curly hair, and a pair of black leather boots.
It was fashionable and warm, and her fashionable hairstyle made it impossible to tell her age.
The young girl beside her was wearing a short white coat, black velvet loose pants, a pair of white casual shoes, and a white wool hat. She tugged at her mother, who was in a daze. “Mom, what are you looking at? Did you meet someone familiar?”
She looked around but couldn’t find the person. There were quite a lot of people in the supermarket. She wondered who her mother was looking at.
Instead of answering, the woman beside her asked, “Stella, did Christina say that the man who chased her was overseas duking dinner last night?”
Hearing this, Stella recalled what Christina had said last night. At that time, her mother had asked, “Christina, this man has
been wooing you for so long. Do you like him or not? If you don’t like him, why do you go to a restaurant to eat every now and then and go to the beach to play together with him? What do you mean? If you don’t like him, forget it. Don’t give him hope and disappoint him.”
Angie was afraid that Christina would date for a few years and then break up with the man. Angie didn’t know the truth. She really thought that there was a man chasing Christina, and Christina did not seem to dislike him and could go out for a meal.
Moreover, in terms of looks, Angie thought he was a handsome man, even though he was not better than Joseph.
In the end, Christina replied to Angie, “Mom, don’t be anxious. I have heard many people around me have said that men are afraid of entering the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. I have to get along with him for a longer time to test him. What if this person has a bad hobby? It will show over time. You want me to find a good man, not to get into trouble.”
Angie was speechless by Christina’s words. In the end, Angie said to her, “Why don’t we call the man out for a meal and help you observe his character?”
Christina immediately rejected and said, “Mom, he’s a foreigner. He has to stay at home to celebrate Christmas with his parents. What are you thinking?”
In the end, the matter of helping her was stopped by Christina with the excuse that he was overseas. Stella recalled Christina’s words and nodded affirmatively. “Mom, Christina said that the person chasing her is overseas.”
Meeting Angie’s questioning gaze, Stella nodded again, indicating that she was very sure.
“The children of my good friends are either engaged or had a second child. Trevon already has three children. It is impossible not to be envious. I could only be envious in my heart.”
Even Frank from the Roberts family was engaged, but none of the three children in her family were in pairs. As long as one of them was married, Angie could accept it.
If the three children did not start a family, Angie suspected that it was not that they did not want to start a family, but that they wanted to force her to death.
“Is the man chasing you in Athana?” Angie asked directly.
Christina was stunned for a moment, but she quickly calmed herself down. Joseph did not tell her that he would come to Athana. Besides, even if he came, he probably would not tell her. It was a fake love relationship between them. “How is that possible? He is a foreigner. He is not from Athana.”
Angie was skeptical. “Are you sure?”
As Christina’s mother, Angie thought that if this man was in Athana and Christina didn’t know, she would have to consider how much that man liked Christina.
Christina held her breath and made a bold suggestion. “Mom, if you don’t believe me, I’ll call him.”
Angie was very astute. How could she be so easily fooled? She thought, “If Christina doesn’t put the phone on speaker, she picks up the phone, I would not know if what they say is true or false.” Angie said, “Put it on speaker.”
Charlie showed a look of wishing you good luck to Christina.
Chris, who was outside the door, came back in a hurry. He went to the hospital early in the morning to work overtime for an operation. When he walked into the living room and saw that the atmosphere was not right, he slowly walked to Stella’s side. He looked at Angie and Christina. “What’s wrong?”
Stella sighed helplessly and expressed her sympathy for Christina. She was also glad that she was the youngest child. “Angie suspects that the man chasing after Christina is in Athana. Then, Christina doesn’t know. Angie is afraid that Christina will be deceived. Besides, Angie wants to see him with her own eyes. Angie doesn’t want to just look at the photo. This means that that man has been chasing after Christina for a few months and hasn’t made any progress at all. She wants to help take a look. She let Christina call him.”
Chris thought to himself, “Is this Christina dating or Angie dating? Angie is too anxious.””
“On the way back, Angie also said that Christina is older and the man is not bad. If Christina spends a few years with this man and he doesn’t have any intention of getting married, Christina will be the one at a disadvantage. Christina puts all her youth into it. Angie is extremely anxious and just wants to help Christina.” Angie was also afraid that Christina had misjudged. Angie had always trusted her own judgment.
However, Christina had been holding it tightly and not letting her take a look.
After listening, Chris understood. He had known that there would be such a day. Angie was so smart. How could the photos make Angie believe it all the time? Angie would not believe it unless she saw him.
Angie was also very worried and conflicted. She was afraid that Christina would be deceived, but she was also afraid that Christina would not be able to get married. It was really a contradiction.
