Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon) novel Chapter 631

Stella adhered to the principle of having a good relationship with her superior and persisted in her morning run for a few days. She would wake up with her brother and go out together every day. Then, she would meet Leia at the door and continue chatting from the beginning to the end.

Then, they bid farewell and returned to their respective homes.

It was the same today.

Stella panted as she bade farewell to Leia. She stood at the door and waved, grinning like a fool. Chris stood at the side and pursed his lips without saying a word. He only nodded at Leia as a farewell.

Stella said, "See you at the office, Ms. March."

Leia replied, "Okay, see you at the office. Don't be late."

"Okay, I won't be late."

After bidding farewell, Stella was still praising Leia. Chris glanced at the woman's back before retracting his gaze and following Stella into the house.

He pushed the door open and entered the villa. "Oh my god..."

"Mom, why are you up? You scared me." They were both used to their mother not being in the living room.

"Why can't I be in the living room? I got up after waking up. Why are you so shocked? Am I a ghost?" She had enough sleep since she didn't need to wake up to check on them.

"I saw that you weren't around for the past few days. Alright, alright, alright. I shouldn't have asked."

Stella surrendered. She immediately changed her shoes and went upstairs in her slippers. She could not afford to offend her mother. She seriously suspected that her mother's menopause had been brought forward.

After a while, she heard a bang on the door upstairs. Chris was also about to go upstairs to take a shower. Just as he reached the top of the stairs, he was stopped by his mother, standing by the sofa. "Chris, you don't have to run after this half month. There are only a few days left. Hang in there. I won't force you if you don't feel anything in this half month."

Chris didn't know what to say.

The mother and son's eyes met. Chris looked away and said calmly, "We'll see. There's nothing wrong with exercising. The temperature will rise in a few days. So, it won't be that cold anymore."

Angie was secretly delighted, but she looked calm. She said matter-of-factly, looking like a wise mother, "Alright, our family is not hegemony. It's more democratic. I won't force you if you don't want to do it. Do as you see fit. If you don't want to run, then stop."

Angie's recent reaction made it difficult for Chris to respond. Since when was there such a thing as democracy in the family? His mother had always been the one who had the final say. "Got it. I'm going to take a shower. I still have to go to work. Continue watching."

When she heard the second sound of the door closing, Angie made a yes gesture. She almost danced in the living room. She happily took her phone from her pocket and sent a message to her son-in-law, saying, [Joseph, the fish has taken the bait. Thank you. You're the best.]

Joseph replied, [Angie, this is what I should do. It's even better if Chris likes her. Starting tomorrow, tell Stella not to run with him.]

After reading the message, Angie understood. She also felt that her daughter was an eyesore just now. She replied with an OK. She pressed the pause button of the television and quietly went upstairs to a room.

Twenty minutes later, "Oh..." with a towel in her hand, Stella stood at the bathroom door in a daze. She forgot her next move and blinked at her mother, standing at the door.

Angie said, "Why are you screaming all day long? Put on your clothes and I'll tell you something."

Stella came back to her senses and put on her pants. She complained, "Mom, can you make a sound first in the future? You'll scare people to death. No matter how good my heart is, it will stop beating."

Fifteen minutes later...

Chris got dressed and was about to go out the next day. Then he realized the door to his sister's room was closed. He raised his hand and looked at his watch. Thinking that this girl had overslept, he pushed open the door, went in to check, and saw that the person on the bed was sleeping soundly.

She showed no signs of waking up.

This made Chris a little puzzled. 'Wasn't she very interested a few days ago, shouting that she wanted to build a good relationship with her superior? Why did she fail today? He gently pushed his sister's shoulder and called softly, "Stella, wake up and run. Hurry up."

"Oh, don't be noisy. I want to sleep."

Chris was speechless. She did not wake up for a long time and was even impatient.

Recalling the fight that day, Chris did not continue to call her. If they fought again, his new injuries would just be added to his old ones.

He walked straight out of the room and gently closed the door.

It was either fate or Leia was punctual. Usually, she would pass by the Yamin family's villa at this time, and the three of them would meet up, but today, it was a two-person meeting.

Leia ran in front, and Chris followed behind. Usually, Stella would chatter non-stop. Today, without this girl, the atmosphere was a little quiet.

Leia was dressed casually when she ran. She wore a dark gray sweater, a white vest, and a pair of pants. She would not have been so eye-catching in this ordinary outfit if she didn't have such an exquisite face and glowy skin.

In comparison, Chris was much more formal. He wore a dark coffee-colored coat, a black turtleneck sweater, dark blue jeans, and limited edition hover shoes.

Just as Stella had said, he didn't look like he was going for a run but a blind date.

Neither of them spoke. The atmosphere was a little awkward. Leia also felt it. Recently, it had been strange. Quinn did not call her in the morning. Even if she called, the line was busy. "Stella is not running anymore?"

Chris glanced at the woman beside him and replied, "She probably can't get up. She's always been like this. There are very few things that she can persevere with. The one thing she perseveres with the longest is being a receptionist at the Wilson Group."

Leia had seen Stella's resume and naturally knew the Wilson Group. "She can persevere. It just depends on whether she wants it or not. For example, if the receptionist is something she likes, she can persevere."

Otherwise, she wouldn't have wanted to go back and be a receptionist.

Chris agreed. "You're quite accurate." Leia had not interacted with his sister for long but had analyzed her thoroughly.
