Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 500

Following Frank’s guidance, Joseph prepared to climb the mountain alone. Emma was worried and asked Ethan and

Pat to follow and protect him all the way.

Joseph did not object.

Seeing Joseph leave in the car and disappear, Ava retracted her gaze and playfully held Frank’s arm happily. “Hey

Frank, do you know how to play golf?” she asked..

Frank looked at the entire golf course in the distance. It was vast. The design of the high and low ground made it

more difficult for players to play.

Frank answered honestly, “Not really.” As for how he knew a little it was because of Trevon and Hackett. When

these two men were discussing business with others, they would always pull Frank along. He would know a little

after watching it too much.

It was just that the number of times he played it was a little less. He had only played with Trevon a few times.

The number of times he succeeded could be counted on one hand.

Seeing that Frank didn’t know how to play it, Ava was also a sensible child. She wouldn’t force Frank to do

something he wasn’t good at. She wouldn’t be like other girls. A man didn’t know how to do it but the girl insisted on

watching him make a fool of himself and recording it.

Frank thought that Ava wanted to see it. He glanced at Emma and Grace, who were chatting and drinking coffee.

He said gently, “Baby Ava. If you want to see it, I can give it a try.”

“No need. I’m just asking. I don’t know how to play it either. Let’s watch William and Daniel play it.”

“Alright,” Frank replied calmly. He was really afraid that the young girl would be disappointed if she said that she

wanted to see it. After all, it was not something he was good at.

On a small hill in the distance of the golf course, Joseph was followed by two people. The air on the hill was very

good. He had not climbed a mountain in a long time because he was busy. Now, he was halfway up the mountain.

The hills at the side of the golf course were either steps or flat roads. It was also probably a place for businessmen

to walk. For people who liked peace and quiet, this place was a good choice. The air was quiet. Occasionally, birds

would fly past in the air.

Joseph asked the two people who followed him, “We will go back in a few days. Ava will stay in Athana for a few

more days. Which one of you will stay behind to protect her?”

Ethan said ‘respectfully, “Mr. Turner, I’ll go back with you.”

Previously, Pat had been asked to stay behind to protect Ava. Pat was more familiar with Athana and the Roberts

family than Ethan. He could not be careless when it came to protecting Ava. There was nothing to argue about. As

long as the Turner family people were safe, it was their mission.

Pat said, “Mr. Turner, I’ll stay. I’ll protect Ava well.” He would not let anything happen to Ava even if he died.

Seeing that the two of them had already discussed the matter of who would stay and who would leave, Joseph did

not say much and only nodded briefly.

At a turn, a familiar female voice sounded. Joseph suddenly stopped in his tracks and made a stop sign to the two

people behind him. Then, he said, “Wait here. I’ll go ahead.”

Ethan and Pat didn’t dare to refute. “Okay, Mr. Turner.” Joseph could beat others with his skills.

However, they were still worried. Pat said, “Mr. Turner, call us if you need anything.”

“Okay, don’t worry.” As soon as he finished speaking, Joseph did not step forward. Instead, he stood lazily on the

steps and looked

up at the

scenery under his feet, listening with his ears to the side.

Ethan and Pat did not know. They were very puzzled by Joseph’s actions. They thought, “It is very abnormal. Didn’t

he say that he would continue to walk?

“Why isn’t he moving? He has been standing in place.”

“Mom, I’m climbing a mountain. I can’t come back now. Take Stella and Chris to greet them. It’ll be too late when I

get back.

“Just say that I have something to do and go out. I know you can handle it. Hello, I can’t hear what you’re saying. I’ll

hang up. I will tell you when I come back.”

The woman held the phone far away and raised it in the air. She deliberately pretended that the signal was bad and

shouted into the receiver. After saying a few words, she hung up directly.

After hanging up, thinking that there was no one beside her, the woman sighed and muttered to herself, “I am

single. I am so pitiful that I have to climb mountains during the holiday to escape.”

For women who didn’t marry, Christmas was the most annoying. No matter what status you had, you could not

escape from being urged to get married. You would be asked in front of many people. The relatives in the family

would introduce some men you to that they were doing this for your own good. Your young relatives, elite, and

others. They would say that you shouldn’t have such high standards at your age.

She had already heard these words so many times. This year, she did not want to participate in this criticism party

with Angie, so she hid here in peace.

As for why it was here, this was the largest golf course in Athana. It was not a place that just anyone could enter.

One had to have a gold card to enter. She had it, which was the access card she usually needed to discuss business.

She spent a lot of money here every year, and the mountaintop here was the quietest. So naturally, not many

people came here. Most of them went to visit their relatives.

However, it would be an accident that came so suddenly. Just as she was done thinking, she put her phone in her

pocket and reached out to hug nature. She closed her beautiful eyes and took a deep breath to feel the refreshing

nature.

Her mind was blank as if she was embracing the earth. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

The red sweater suit was really festive and beautiful. The woman’s exquisite facial features were cold and

seductive, but they were not out of place.

This scene was seen by Joseph as he walked out of the corner. He was leisurely with his hands in his pockets. He

raised his feet and walked up. When he walked past the turn, he said in a low voice, “Coincidentally, Ms. Yamin,” He

said these words slowly.

The sudden voice frightened Christina so much that she opened her eyes and turned around in surprise. She saw

his handsome face suddenly, and her originally smiling face was now filled with surprise. “Aren’t you overseas?”

She thought, “No, that isn’t the important. The point is why he is here. Isn’t he from a foreign country? Besides, this

isn’t a place where ordinary people could enter.”

To be honest, Joseph was also surprised to encounter Christina. His original intention was to climb a mountain

simply, see. the scenery on Athana, and feel the different air.

Christina was very surprised. Joseph was not in a hurry to answer the doubts in her heart. Instead of answering, he

asked, “Escape from urging marriage, right?”

Upon hearing that, Christina put away the surprise on her face and put her hands in her pockets. It was not the first

time this man had heard about her family urging her to get married, so Christina was quite depressed. Every time

she was urged to get married, he would see it.

For example, Charlie’s actions at the wedding and Angie’s actions just now.

Similarly, Christina didn’t answer and asked, “Your family won’t urge you to marry, right? I’m sorry, I’m not asking

about your privacy. I’m just asking out of curiosity. You can answer or not. You’re free.”

This woman always had a sense of propriety. Joseph did not think that this was an awkward question. The two of

them were about the same age and were not young. There was nothing to hide. “Directly or indirectly?”

Christina turned around and met Joseph’s deep eyes. Their eyes met and the air froze for a few seconds. Both of

them looked away and looked at the scenery at the top of the mountain. “Is there a difference? Aren’t they all

urging marriage?”

Joseph said, “Ava will urge me to marry directly. It can be said that she wanted to bewitch me to find a girlfriend.”

“What about the indirect one?” Christina did not know why he was talkative. It was just that seeing him made her

feel at ease. Perhaps it was because this man was a good person. People would think their savior is a good person.

“Same as you.”

The smart Christina smiled brightly like the warm sun. Upon closer inspection, it was also a charming and standard

smile, revealing her white teeth.

Joseph stared at her for a few seconds before turning his head to look into the distance. His deep and pleasant

voice sounded, “The photo is not bad.”

Christina did not expect this man to say this. She continued to smile and said, “I was bored in university and

minored in a few skills.” She just did not expect her minored skills to be used here.

If Angie found out that Christina’s major was to cheat her, Christina could imagine that Angie would not hesitate to

take out a ruler to beat her.

The Yamin family had two family rules. First, no matter if it was a man or a woman, they could not be gigolo or

mistress. Second, they could not play tricks on their parents, or they would be punished by the ruler.

Clearly, Christina had violated the Yamin family’s second family rule. She would be beaten by the ruler 50 times and

reflect on herself facing the wall.

Joseph nodded. “It’s not bad. Ordinary people can’t tell if it’s real or fake.”

This meant that hers was a fake. Christina did not intend to continue such an awkward topic. Joseph did not intend

to answer the question she had just asked, and Christina did not intend to continue asking. She was not a person to

force others and would not make things difficult for them.

Interacting with each other and cooperation should be voluntary.

“The photo is fake, it’s fake.” The atmosphere was a little strange. Christina wasn’t very good at chatting outside of

work. She could make others speechless.

Stella had already complained about her many times. For example, when Stella asked why she was working

overtime, Christina would say, “It is because you are a person.”

Stella was speechless. For example, when Stella asked why a woman had her period and how much a woman’s

menstrual volume was throughout her life, Christina would say, “If you don’t mind the trouble, you could weigh it

every time.”

Stella was speechless again.

Stella thought, “Is there really someone in this world who could talk with Christina well?

“How high is his emotional intelligence?”

Because the atmosphere was a little awkward, Christina thought that Joseph would not be able to respond again.

She prepared to leave. She did not like fake praise and glorified words. “I’m going down. Stay for a while longer.”

“Let’s go together.” Joseph followed closely behind.

The road belonged to everyone. She had no reason not to let him walk. She was just a little uncomfortable. When

Christina was uncomfortable, she would put down her hair and tie her hair again.

This action was seen by Joseph, who was following behind her. He curled his lips into a smile and said, “Everything in

the world is uncertain. Whether it’s real or fake depends on how you view it. Which one can you accept and which

one can make you feel better? For example, if a television drama has a sad ending and you can’t accept it, you can

think that it’s fake.” Christina stopped in her tracks and began to doubt this man’s profession. She was curious and

thought that he would not be able to answer. Not only did he answer, but he also seemed to be trying to enlighten

her. “You’re a university professor?”

“Do I look like a teacher?” Joseph still didn’t answer and continued to ask. She couldn’t tell what he was thinking or

what the meaning was.

The two of them walked down shoulder to shoulder. When they passed by Ethan and Pat, both of them adjusted

their shoulders as if they did not know each other. Naturally, Christina did not notice and thought that they were just

climbing the mountain.

Christina said, “I think you’re quite eloquent.”

Joseph did not deny that he was a teacher. “If there’s anything you can’t figure out, you can ask me. The price can

be discounted. The second collaboration’s price is cheap. Very cheap.”

Christina was speechless. Looking at Joseph’s serious expression, there was no hint of fakeness on his face. His firm

gaze made Christina somewhat believe that Joseph was a teacher.

She thought, “I don’t think there’s any need for a consultation. I don’t have any psychological problems. At most, I

don’t really want to get married. This shouldn’t be an illness, and there’s no need for treatment.”

Besides, he was just a teacher, not a psychiatrist.
