Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon) novel Chapter 645

Inside one of the cafes, the four of them now sat together.

All four of them took off their jackets without saying anything. The four of them just looked at each other, sizing each other up.

After looking at each other for a few minutes, Stella's university classmate could not take it anymore and spoke first. She had originally come here with Stella to relax.

A few hours ago, Stella said that she had been working overtime recently and was having an existential crisis, so she needed fresh air to revive herself. As such, they had come here to have some coffee. In essence, Stella's friend was just a tool.

"Chris, I'm here to accompany Stella for coffee. However, I still wish you and your girlfriend well." Stella's friend sincerely wished Chris well. She was still quite embarrassed about what she had witnessed earlier and felt like she was there to accompany Stella to catch Chris in the act.

Leia held Chris' hand under the table. Chris wanted his sister to keep it a secret. As soon as Chris opened his mouth, he met his girlfriend's gaze. Then, Leia shook her head, indicating that she would speak, "I've been dating your brother for a while." Leia said.

Stella didn't say anything.

Leia wanted to continue, but Chris wouldn't let her. "I was the one who asked Leia to hide it. You should know why. There are so many things going on every day. Our relationship is just an ordinary one, not some variety show."

Chris meant that there was no need for so many people to pay attention and watch them.

Chris tried to retaliate before his sister complained. Sure enough, Stella thought of her mother. Thinking about it, it made sense. If their mother found out, she might scare Leia away.

With this explanation, everything else became clear. All the times that her brother left early and returned late, went out for a long jog before returning home, or did not return home for dinner despite finishing work on time.

The mystery was solved.

Stella belatedly asked in a low voice, "So you were the one who sent the flowers that day?" There was a hint of disbelief on her face.

Chris did not deny it, so it was sort of an admission. Chris asked his sister, "Doctors can't buy flowers?"

Stella was speechless. It wasn't that doctors couldn't buy flowers. It was just that it was a little strange for Chris to buy flowers, and Stella wasn't used to it.

Since Leia was here, Stella could not forget that Leia was her boss. Stella asked carefully, "So... Chris... when do you plan to make it public? I'm just asking. I don't mean anything else. I'm just asking."

Stella's friend wondered why Stella was behaving this way in front of her brother's girlfriend since Leia seemed quite gentle.

Leia smiled. "In the office, I'm your boss. Outside, I'm just Chris' girlfriend."

Chris liked to hear these words since they gave him status.

Chris was overjoyed. "Listen to Leia. Stop behaving this way. I feel uncomfortable just looking at you. As for Mom, we'll wait and see whenever she finds out. There's no need to specially inform her."

Chris knew his mother's personality too well. If his mother found out, she might hire someone tomorrow to help them plan their wedding.

That kind of thing would definitely happen.

Half an hour later, the two cars drove from the same place back to the same destination, except that Stella had taken her friend home before driving back to the Yamin family villa.

Since Chris did not overtake cars on the way back, Stella could catch up to Chris even after sending her friend home. Staring at the car which was driving slowly ahead, Stella could only shake her head.

Chris was driving at a snail's pace to spend more time with his girlfriend. Chris had practically slapped himself in the face, especially since Chris was the one who said he preferred surgery to dating someone.

A bachelor who had been single for too long would have too many tricks up his sleeve when he started dating. No one would be able to stand it. Stella stepped on the accelerator and overtook him, leaving Chris and Leia behind with a puff of exhaust.

Chris looked at the car in front of him and said unhappily, "I'll talk to her when we get home. She's driving so fast in the middle of the night." Chris held Leia's hand with one hand.

Leia nodded and glanced at the speedometer in the car, which showed Chris was driving at 13 mph. Leia didn't say anything and just smiled. "If you want to tell your mother, I have no objections."

Upon hearing this, Chris turned to look at Leia and was very surprised. He looked away for a second and thought for a moment before rejecting, "Let's not. My mother is very enthusiastic. Her enthusiasm might not be something you can withstand. I'll lay some groundwork first then we can see how it goes."

Leia smiled. Leia had never interacted with Chris' mother, but she could roughly analyze her personality from what everyone said. "There's nothing bad about being cheerful," Leia said.

After sending Leia home and kissing her goodbye, Chris returned home.

Stella had arrived home early. Stella avoided looking over at her parents who were sitting in the living room. Her entire body felt uncomfortable because she was keeping a secret. It almost felt as if she was storing food within her body. Her stomach was uncomfortable, as if something was about to come out, but could not. It was stuck in her throat, and she looked at her mother and then at her father.

It was hard to swallow.

When Angie turned around, she happened to see her daughter looking at her. Stella was caught red-handed. "What are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it. Don't be like a flea that keeps twitching."

"No, I just didn't shower last night, so my body is a little itchy. Are you watching television?" As she spoke, Stella lied and began to scratch her neck.

Angie did not answer her daughter's idiotic question. Anyone could see that Angie was watching television. "Where's your brother?" Angie asked.

Stella's gaze wavered. "How would I know? I didn't place a location tracker on him. Why don't you call him?"

After saying that, Stella ran upstairs. She was extremely fast, and her actions were strange.

Angie stared at her daughter's back for a few seconds and did not think much about it, instead nagging, "The boy needs someone by his side to tell him what he should and shouldn't do. Otherwise, he won't know what he needs to do. He needs a push. The girl, on the other hand, is so flippant and never serious."

Angie was really worried.

Charlie didn't answer his wife. He didn't know how to answer her either. After all, his daughter's personality was more like his wife's.

The door opened with a click, and Chris entered with a hint of a cold aura. Chris glanced around and saw that his sister was no longer around. "Dad, Mom, I'm going up to shower."

Angie replied calmly, "Okay."
