The two of them were standing in the middle of the stairs. After a few seconds of silence, Joseph
turned his body slightly and let Frank go upstairs. He instructed, “Rest early.”
Frank carried the suitcase with one hand and moved his feet. He replied calmly, “Okay.”
Just an hour ago, Ava shut her book close. She was probably too drowsy that her book was still on the
bed. She slept peacefully with a soft toy in her arms. She was only covered by a corner of the blanket.
One of her feet was hanging from the edge of the bed.
Frank gently placed his suitcase on the floor and closed the door behind him. He walked to the bed and
reached out with his well-defined hand to remove the book on the bed. Then, he helped Ava put her leg
back on the bed and covered her properly with the blanket. He bent over and reached out to help her
tidy up the loose hair on her face.
He looked at the person on the bed gently.
Perhaps it felt itchy, the little girl shook her head and continued to sleep. Looking at the kitten-like girl,
Frank smiled. Reluctantly, he got up and took his pajamas from the wardrobe before going straight to
the bathroom to take a shower.
Fifteen minutes later, Frank came out of the bathroom with a simple towel wrapped around him. His
upper body was exposed to the air. He lifted the blanket and lay under it, gently removing the soft toy in
Ava’s
arms.
When the toy was taken away, Ava was not pleased. She frowned and made a noise. Frank slowly lay
down and pulled her into his arms.
In her sleep, Ava breathed in a familiar scent and felt a familiar sense of security. She opened her
sleepy eyes and saw the face that she had been thinking about day and night.
Ava blinked in disbelief. She opened her eyes again and tried to see clearly. She stared at Frank in a
daze.
Seeing Ava like this, Frank knew that she was pleasantly surprised. He lowered his voice and said, “It’s
not a dream. It’s me.”
Upon hearing this, Ava became excited and instantly sobered up. She reached out and wrapped her
arms around Frank’s neck tightly. Her little

mouth began to move non-stop as she spoke, “Why are you here? If you didn’t tell me, I would have
thought that I was dreaming.”
Her tone was soft, happy, excited, and coquettish. Frank couldn’t help but lower his head and kiss her
on the lips. “I learned it from you. It’s an ambush.”
“I like it. Keep it up.” Under the dim light, the two of them fell silent. Through Ava’s pajamas, they could
hear each other’s breathing and heartbeat. Frank’s dark eyes met Ava’s clear
gaze.
It took only an instant before the chemistry exploded between them. Their lips met in a kiss. They
poured their affection and passion into the kiss. It spoke volumes of how much they missed each other.
Desire spread through their bodies, transmitted to every cell. The heat within them rose bit by bit.
A moment later, Frank stopped moving. Ava understood what he meant from his eyes. Her eyes were NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
misted as she took the initiative to say, “It’s not here yet. It will come in a few days.”
Frank tapped her on the nose. It was a gesture of affection. Ava raised her neck and took the initiative
to kiss Frank. He held her still. Just as the fiery passion brewed ever higher, they were interrupted by a
phone call. It kept ringing persistently.
Frank stopped what he was doing and hung up the phone. However, the phone rang again. Frank hung
up once more. In the end, Frank placed one hand on the edge of the bed and stood up slightly. Ava’s
hands were still wrapped around his neck as she waited.
He picked up the phone impatiently. His tone was hostile. The call was from Trevon. “What’s wrong
with you? What’s the matter?”
On the other end, Trevon was very proud. His words were filled with joy. “Are you busy? Are you
working overtime?”
From Trevon’s tone, Frank could tell that Trevon already knew that he was Sapphire City. He couldn’t
be bothered with him. “You’re too free.” He kept his gaze on Ava and lowered his head to kiss Ava who
only had eyes for him.
Trevon was in a good mood after a bout of sex with Natalie, Natalie couldn’t even stop him from calling.
Trevon even said that it was fine if he didn’t call, but they would have to have a second round instead.
In the end, Natalie relented and handed him his phone so he could call as much as he wanted.
10:251
After achieving his goal, Trevon stopped his act of nuisance. “Alright. You can continue. Remember to
take it easy. I’m hanging up.”
Frank was silent. He knew that the guy had done it on purpose.
“Does Trevon know that you’re here?” Ava’s soft voice sounded. She was panting a little, and her chest
heaved as she spoke.
“He forgot to take his crazy medicine. He’s acting up. Let’s continue, okay?” Frank turned off his phone
and casually threw it aside.
Ava nodded shyly. Everything came together so perfectly. They lost themselves in each other, basking
in love and lust, their emotions heightened because they had missed each other. The temperature in
the
room rose…
In the other room, Joseph returned to the room after pouring a glass of water for Christina downstairs.
When Joseph told Christina that the person who opened the door downstairs was Frank, Christina was
surprised.
She did not expect Frank to rush over so late at night. He was really putting a lot of effort into the
relationship.
It could only be said that the power of love was limitless.
Christina sat up on the bed. After drinking the water, she handed the glass to Joseph. “Ava must be
overjoyed.”
Girls should like such sudden surprises, so Ava must be happy now.
Joseph’s eyes were filled with emotions as he looked at the woman who was speaking seriously.
Suddenly, he leaned forward and raised Christina’s chin. His gaze was level as he placed one hand on
the back of the bed. “If you like it, I can give you surprises every day. Do you like such surprises?”
Christina’s heart skipped a beat at the sudden teasing. The memory of Joseph accompanying her
during the childbirth reappeared in her mind. The emotions hidden in her heart bubbled out again. Not
to be outdone, she raised her hand and grabbed Joseph’s collar. “Mr. Turner, you’re the biggest
surprise to me. There’s nothing more surprising than you. Do you understand? Yes?”
She flicked her hair and raised her eyebrows slightly, looking extremely seductive.
Joseph looked at her calmly. In the next second, Christina’s lips were bitten, and a heavy kiss fell on
her mouth. The glass fell to the ground.

Christina knew that he would not do anything rash. He just wanted to kiss her.
She raised her head cooperatively. She didn’t have any jewelry on her. Even the diamond ring that
Joseph had customized for her was locked in the safe.
She was afraid that she would accidentally injure the baby with it, so she would rather not wear any
jewelry.
Her nails had not been painted since she got pregnant, and the black hair on the crown of her head
had already grown a few inches. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. Only
when they were panting did Joseph pull back. He pinched her chin and rubbed it with his, fingers. “I’m
going to take a shower. You sleep first.”
The corners of Christina’s lips curled up in satisfaction. She smiled and reminded him, “Yes, okay. Don’t
use cold water. Take a hot shower.”
“Mm.” How could he let the heat stirring in him subside if the shower wasn’t cold? He could only use
cold water and then hot to prevent himself from being cold when he got into bed. He didn’t want her to
feel the chill on his skin.
Listening to the sound of running water in the bathroom, Christina smiled and fell asleep.
The next morning came.
In the room upstairs, the doors of the older generations opened right on time while the other rooms
remained closed. No one in the other rooms showed any intention of getting up.
In the dining room, Angie, Emma, Daniel, and Charlie were having breakfast together. Angie took the
milk from Emma and said politely, “I can do it myself.”
“Ava and Joseph are not going to eat breakfast?” Angie asked.
Daniel and Charlie had already finished their breakfast. Daniel was afraid that Charlie would be bored.
“Charlie, why don’t you come to the company with me today? Tomorrow, I’ll get Joseph to take you out
for a walk. Ava and Frank can go along too. Everyone can rest today.”
The bodyguard had already reported to Daniel about Frank’s arrival last night.
Angie and Charlie, on the other hand, were surprised. Their voices suddenly rose as they asked in
disbelief, “That brat from the Roberts
10:251
family is here? He’s upstairs?”
Emma smiled and was not surprised by their reaction. “Yes. He came in the early morning last night.
He should still be sleeping now. Joseph will come down later. He basically helped the child dress
before coming downstairs. Then, he will help Christina bring the breakfast upstairs…”
Angie was stunned. “For goodness sake, did Frank come to visit his future in-laws to sleep in?” she
wondered.
Speak of the devil, Joseph slowly walked down the stairs and went straight to the dining room. Emma
handed him a spoon and tray. “Christina doesn’t like heavy food in the morning, so I didn’t let the
kitchen make creamy potato soup. We have swift grain essence soup this morning. Bring it up to
Christina. It’s good for digestion. There’s also macaroni and oatmeal. You can ask Christina which she
prefers to eat.” Joseph asked, “Dad, Mom, you guys are done eating?”
Daniel spoke, “Yes. I’ll go to the company with Charlie today. Tomorrow you can bring them to tour
Sapphire City tomorrow. Today is for resting. Frank is still resting too.”
“Yes, sure. Natalie should be here in the afternoon. She sent me a
message in the morning.”
Daniel was jealous. “Why didn’t she send me a message?”
“She was afraid of waking you up. Natalie knows that I wake up early,” Joseph explained in Natalie’s
stead.
Emma smiled gently. “Natalie is always very thoughtful.”
Angie spoke up, “Joseph, sit down and eat. I’m almost done eating. I’ll bring it up for Christina to eat.”
“It’s okay. Angie, you can eat more. I’ll do it. I’m used to taking care of Christina.” While he spoke,
Joseph had already helped Christina with breakfast and placed them all on the tray.
The corners of Angie’s mouth gradually deepened. Christina could be considered to have been very
lucky. Angie couldn’t find any fault in this son-in-law at all. The more she looked at him, the happier she
was.
In the room, Christina was waiting for Joseph to feed her. Before he left, Joseph had instructed that she
was not allowed to get out of bed, so she waited on the bed.
The door was pushed open and Joseph placed the tray on the small table on the bed. “There’s
oatmeal, swift grain essence soup, and macaroni.
10:25
Which one do you want to eat first? Mom said that the swift grain essence soup is good for digestion. It
should taste quite good and is nutritious. It probably isn’t sweet since you don’t like sweet things. Mom
should have instructed the kitchen.”
Since she woke up in the morning, the man had been talking non-stop about things. It was the same
now. She felt warm in her heart. “Joseph?” Joseph stopped stirring with the spoon when she suddenly
called him. “Yes? Don’t you want to eat?”
Christina did not answer. Instead, she smiled foolishly. This was the first time she smiled foolishly. Her
smile was cute. It was no longer alluring or seductive. She was smiling purely because she felt happy
and wanted to grin. “You’re the surprise of my life.”
Joseph rubbed the silly woman’s hair lovingly in response to her love confession in the morning. “I told
you a long ago that you wouldn’t want to get out of my bed when you’re in it. Do you understand?
You’re my woman now, Christina. Even when we die, we’ll be buried together.”
She smacked him on the arm. “Why are you talking about death so early in the morning?”
“Alright. I won’t say it a second time. My son is awake. Should I feed him milk powder or wait for you to
finish eating?”
The topic changed and Christina stopped talking about romantic things. “It’s a little hot. I’ll have the
oatmeal first. I’ll feed him after I’m done.”
Christina did not produce much milk so they used milk powder half the time. Emma did not force her to
take anything to stimulate milk production and chose to let nature take its course.
“Is Ava off today?”
“Yes. Did you forget that it’s Saturday today? Dad is going to the office with Charlie. I’ll bring Angie to
tour Sapphire City tomorrow.”
Joseph had everything all thought out.
“Yes, sure. Don’t worry. With Emma at home, you don’t have to be afraid that I won’t be taken good
care of. It’s not like you don’t know how meticulous your mother is.
“Has Frank always been sleeping in when he is here? Eating and sleeping are more important to him.
He can’t stop himself at all. If he wakes up early, he’ll be grumpy. Also, don’t look at me. That is what
my father said.”
10:25
“Mom and Dad allowed it. When he first came to stay with us, he woke up quite early. Mom could tell at
a glance that he wasn’t awake, so she allowed him to sleep in with Ava and not wake up early. After
that, he woke up whenever Ava woke up.”
Christina was surprised.
