Chapter 529
Having received the photo, Ava looked at it in disbelief. It was clearly photoshopped.
She picked up the phone and examined it carefully several times. In the end, she confirmed that it was indeed photoshopped.
As someone who was proficient in computer science, she could tell at a glance how the photo was stitched together. However, she did not expose it immediately. Instead, she wondered, “When did my brother and future sister–in–law take this photo? And why did they photoshop a photo for the family to see?”
Nonetheless, she had to admit that the photoshop was done quite well. People like Stella who did not know much about computers definitely could not tell.
“What’s wrong? You’re frowning like you’re troubled. Do you want to ask Grace about it?”
As soon as Frank returned, he saw the little girl frowning.
Seeing Frank, who was worried about him, Ava handed the phone to him and showed him the photo right away. “Frank, look at this photo.”
Under Ava’s urging gaze, Frank took the phone and looked at it. With just a glance, he saw that there was something unusual about the photo. As if he understood something, the corners of his mouth curled up into a charming smile.
Ava was in a daze like she was love–struck. She quietly held her cheek and stared at Frank, admiring just how handsome Frank was. She felt that she had such a good taste in men.
Just as Frank was pondering and speculating, Ava received another message from Stella. [I don’t know the exact time, but it should be a few months ago. Probably before Rose was pregnant, or around the time Sherri got married. I’m not sure though. I need to ask my mom about when she first received the photo from my sister.]
Stella had no idea what the exact date was. She had long forgotten it. Then, she casually gave Ava a rough time. [It should be six months ago, Yes, six months. They take photos together all the time.]
Then, Stella sent Ava a few more photos of Joseph and Christina..
Frank and Ava leaned their heads on the table and looked up at the same time. As if she had discovered a new world, Ava asked with excitement, “Did Joseph and Christina get together because he helped her to photoshop photos?”
Ava could not even believe her own words after saying them. Her tiny eyes opened wide, and her face was covered in shock,
Frank tidied up the little girl’s hair that had fallen because of her excitement and explained, “This should be Christina’s work. She studied this in university.”
He continued, “Christina must have asked for Joseph’s help and paid him. That’s how they knew each other. In Athana, they might have met coincidentally. Or maybe Joseph fell in love with Christina.”
Based on Frank’s understanding of Christina’s work and his analysis of Joseph’s slightly evil nature, he was certain that Joseph was the one who let out the bait, and Christina took it.
Frank was very confident about this.
Ava had yet to come back to her senses. The fact that her brother and future sister–in–law actually got together because of a lie was too ridiculous.
To craft a lie together and then end up being with each other could only be described as fate.
“Stop thinking about it. All is well in the end. They’ve known each other for a long time. According to the evidence Stella provided, it should have been before Hackett
got married.”
Hackett’s wedding was on Valentine’s Day when Lithern Club’s hotel was completely filled. Therefore, as Frank calculated. the date in his heart, he realized that it had indeed been half a year, as Stella had said. As for whether it was true or not, he did not probe further. In short, he could confirm that Joseph and Christina knew each other a long time. ago.
“If Mom and Dad knew about this, they would probably be scared to death. It’s like every time Joseph does something, it’s shocking. What he did this time was insane. Christina completely fell for his trap.”
Frank used Ava’s phone and transferred the photos to his phone, then sent them to Trevon. Since Hackett was such a big mouth, he skipped him.
After sending the message, Frank gently placed the phone on the table and said something that made Ava even more dumbfounded. “Maybe she fell for the trap on purpose.”
When Ava came back to her senses, she smiled happily and unrestrainedly. Her smile was infectious, and gradually, Frank smiled, too.
At the Wilson’s residence.
Natalie was discussing with Trevon about starting to work after the New Year holidays. The topic was raised by Trevon. He felt that Natalie could go out to work and have her own space while he would take care of the children.
Even if work resumed after the new year, he could come back to visit the children at any time. Moreover, there were so many people at home to take care of them.
Theo fully supported Natalie in going to work. He had emphasized and told Natalie a long time ago to follow her heart and go to work if she wanted, telling her not to worry about the children.
“I think I’ll wait a little longer. I’ll see about it after my maternity leave.” Actually, Natalie wanted to accompany the children. The three children were still young. She could not let her family take care of them all. It would make her look like she was only in charge of giving birth to them.
Natalie stared at the three children with reluctance. Jasper was already sound asleep on the small bed. The two Little Princesses kept kicking their legs like, sucking on their own fingers, and babbling in their own language.
Trevon took off his jacket and prepared to take a shower. “Honey, have you ever thought of going to Joseph’s station to work? It will start operating after the new year. If you go things will be easier. Plus, if you miss the children, you can
there to work come back anytime. You can also bring the children there if you want to.”
Trevon hoped that Natalie would resign from her current job and work at the station. After all, working shifts was quite tiring.
Natalie had thought about this before, but she had yet to make up her mind. “I’ll consider it for a few more days.”
“Okay, there’s no hurry. Take your time to think about it. I’ll support whatever decision you make.”
“Go take a shower. Wait, you got a text.” Natalie glanced at Trevon’s phone from the corner of her eye and saw the screen light up, so she suddenly called out to him.
“Honey, help me deal with it. I’m going to take a shower.” As he spoke, Trevon picked up his clothes and entered the bathroom, not caring who sent the message..
The password was her birthday, and she opened the lock screen of his phone like she had done it countless times. The two of them did not have any secrets. They helped each other look at their phones and reply to messages all the time. Sometimes, when Trevon was changing diapers, Natalie would reply to texts from Jim.
She was like his personal secretary.
She turned on Trevon’s phone. The home screen background was her photo, and the lock screen was a photo of the three children. It was very lovely and blissful.
What she saw was Frank’s text. Since Natalie did not know anything about computers, she did not notice the problem. She was just curious about why Frank sent photos of Jospeph and Christina to Trevon.
Ava had shared the good news with Natalie long ago that Joseph and Christina had gone to the Yamin family to propose the marriage. Natalie was really glad for the two of them that Joseph had found the one he loved. She wished everyone she knew would be happy.
Fifteen minutes later, Trevon came out in white pajamas. Perhaps because he did not dry his hair in time, his shoulders were stained with water droplets. “Dry your hair first,” Natalie said.
“Alright. Roger that, Honey.”
