Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

While the people on this side were sleeping, the other side had already exploded. Because Edward cback late from work last night, he did not share Chris' matter with Rose immediately.

It was not shared until he woke up in the morning. After listening to it, Rose happily said that it had been a long tsince she had heard such great gossip. With the thought that happiness needed to be spread, she began to share this story.

This information was shared with Sherri, Natalie, and Ava before breakfast.

Sherri, who received the message, was shocked. She sent Rose eight question marks in a row. [What? Why don't | know? It's like | was isolated from the world.] Natalie already knew about it, so she was not shocked. Trevon also shared this matter with her the moment he returned hyesterday. She replied Rose, [Chris not only bumped into Edward yesterday but also bumped into Trevon.] After reading Natalie's message, Rose understood. It turned out that many people already knew. Fortunately, she was not the last to know.

Rose replied Sherri, [I just found out too. Are you surprised? Chris actually secretly fell in love. He has been a bachelor for a thousand years.] Ava texted, [| saw them with Frank during supper one day, but Chris and Leia probably had just gotten together at that time, so | didn't dare to tell anyone.] Rose replied Ava, [Good lord, so it's been so long.] When Chris woke up, he saw Hackett's messages in the men's group chat. He counted the messages silently. All 28 of them were sent by Hackett alone. The next messages were from Frank and Trevon teasing him.

Chris didn't want to reply to any of them. Could these people not care about him so much? How did it feel to have a group of friends who cared about him? They cared about him but teased him at the stime. He couldn't keep a low profile at all.

Chris methodically did things. In the morning, he told Leia that he would be responsible, and the next moment, he already made the arrangements for the night and brought her hfor dinner.

Angie and Stella were the happiest. Angie was grinning from ear to ear, while Stella was chattering happily without stopping.

Charlie was also very happy. He greeted Leia warmly and told Leia to not be restrained.

"Come, Leia, don't stand on ceremony. Eat. Make yourself at home. It's the Yamin family's blessing that you like Chris." Leia finally understood what Christina meant when she said that her brother's status in the family was very low.

So that was really the case. "Mrs. Yamin, Chris is quite good." Angie was so happy that her eyes crinkled, and she kept nodding. She kept looking at Leia and sizing her up. She was extremely satisfied with Leia. "As long as you think he's good. Hurry up and eat. Don't stand on ceremony." Stella, on the other hand, looked up at her brother and his girlfriend from tto time. The more she looked at them, the more compatible they became. Her brother was actually capable enough to win Leia. Stella could be scolded less in the future.

Little did she know that Leia had a clear distinction between work and private life, and the exception was only given to Chris. If Stella did anything wrong in the company, she would still be criticized.

Angie took a bite of food. She felt uncomfortable if she did not say what she was thinking about out loud. "Leia, lettell you something. It might seem a little early to you, but this is the Yamin family's rule. The rule was set by the Yamin family's ancestors. Men have to be responsible until the end when they do something. There are no scumbags allowed in the Yamin family. Do you understand this?" Stella thought, 'Was there such a thing as a scumbag in ancient times? Our ancestors could make rules for modern life?" Leia seemed to understand Angie's words. Chris was also looking forward to Leia's answer. "Mrs. Yamin, are you talking about our marriage?" Angie nodded. She liked how smart her future daughter-in-law was. Strong women were indeed different. It was not difficult for Angie to communicate with her, unlike her son and daughter who could not grasp the main point even after she talked for a long time.

Leia put down her cutlery. This action made everyone present nervous. The next second, she smiled and said politely, "I've already told my parents aboutand Chris today." As soon as she finished speaking, Angie heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good. Do the in-laws object?" If they did, she had to talk to them personally.

Leia shook her head, indicating that her parents did not object. Their expectations were very low. As long as their daughter was happy, it was fine.

As the head of the family, Charlie had to make a statement at this time. Other than being his future daughter-in- law, Leia was also a manager in the company. "Leia, ask your parents when they are free. I'll go visit them with Angie." Leia replied, "Okay, Mr. Yasmin." After the meal, Leia politely bid farewell to Angie and Charlie. Chris consciously followed after Leia. After trying it once, Chris did not want to stay alone in an empty room. He eagerly followed Leia to another villa.

Angie couldn't wait for her son to not chome. It would be great if she could have a grandson and a granddaughter. She would be so happy that she couldn't sleep at night.

A few days later, Chris and Angie followed Leia and Chris to visit the March family in Sapphire City. Leia's parents were honest people, the kind of people who were diligent and down-to-earth.

While Charlie and Angie were discussing the marriage, Christina and Joseph also rushed over. The group sat in the living room and discussed the marriage.

Julian and Daria March had long heard from their daughter about the Yamin family's background. At that time, they also felt that the Yamin family's background was too high. However, when they met the Yamin family, they relaxed.

Julian said, "Leia is our baby. You probably know that we are from Athana originally, but our house is not in the city. Daria and | were worried about Leia going to school and working alone, so we moved around with her. In the end, we moved to Sapphire City. The two of us only have one thought. As long as Leia is happy, anything is fine." "In terms of family background, there's a gap between the March family and the Yamin family. If you think that Leia is not worthy of your family one day, tell us in advance. She's our treasure. We can't tolerate others despising her." Leia tried her best to not cry and turned around. For so many years, her parents had been moving with her. They moved to this city and then to that city. They could not bear to let her stay on campus, afraid that she would not be able to eat well and take good care of herself.

Chris noticed the emotions of the woman beside him and put his arm around her shoulder. Angie gestured for his silly son to express his opinion. Chris said, "Mr. and Mrs. March, nothing like what you said will happen. If someone is going to be despised one day, it won't be Leia. It will be me." Everyone laughed when he said that.

Christina said, "Mr. and Mrs. March, don't worry. My parents are people who don't emphasize family background.

The money in Chris' bank account is probably less than Leia's. How can it be considered that Leia is riding on our coattails? At most, Leia lowered her standards just to marry my silly brother." Julian and Daria liked the Yamin family very much. Julian and Daria didn't have to beat around the bush and the Yamin family was also very sincere in their promises. They didn't throw money at them right away and asked for their opinions about everything. They respected others very much.

Clad in a suit and leather shoes, Joseph sat upright on the sofa and said gently, "Mr. and Mrs. March, could you tell us about your customs? What should we do? If Chris wants to marry Leia, we have to follow your customs." Angie looked at his son-in-law inquiringly. Joseph gave her a comforting look, afraid that his mother-in-law would give millions or tens of millions to Julia and Daria as an engagement gift. It would scare Julian and Daria.

Daria said happily, "There's no special custom. It's just sold rules passed down from the previous generation." Joseph had been smiling the entire time. He was gentle and polite, making people feel at ease. Christina, who was sitting beside him, instantly understood and smiled. "Mrs. March, please do tell." Daria replied, "It's like this in our village. If the two children like each other and plan to get married, then they have to choose two dates. One is the day of the engagement and the registration of marriage, and the other is the wedding day. On the day of the engagement, the man has to send an engagement gift, a blanket, a cashmere sweater, and gold. He has to put all of these into a box and send it to the woman's house. If the woman accepts it, it means she has accepted this engagement. The day of the engagement is also the day of the registration of the marriage. On the sday, they have to choose an auspicious day to get married. On the day of the wedding, you have to send a sheep and a few fish over. There's nothing else. Our family doesn't have any relatives. Her grandparents passed away early." The few of them laughed. Angie. "Mr. March, how much do we have to give as an engagement gift?" Julian replied, "According to our customs, 17,600 dollars is auspicious. What do you think?" Charlie disagreed. He felt that Leia deserved more. The money the March family would receive as marriage gifts was more than that. Back then, the Wilson family and the Roberts family's marriage gifts were also many times more than this. "Mr. and Mrs. March, look. Leia is marrying into our family and has to work for our company as well. The burden is on Leia. | think this number is a little low. Let's compromise. What do you think about 176,000 dollars?" Julian quickly waved his hand. This number frightened him. How could they take so much? They were marrying off their daughter, not selling her. After Joseph and Christina's persuasion, Julian and Daria finally agreed.

After they agreed on the engagement gift, Joseph began to help with the arrangements. "Mr. March, look. Since Leia and Chris' marriage has been decided, they will be permanently staying in Athana in the future. Do you want to continue staying here or follow Leia to Athana? My suggestion is for you to go to Athana. After Leia gives birth, she will need your help. However, if you'd like to work at Turner Corporation, | will arrange for you to work at my sister's base. It just so happens that we need people there. | can rest assured if you guys go. You can also helpkeep an eye on my sister." Hearing that, Julian and Daria naturally felt that it was a good idea and agreed readily. They had cto Sapphire City for their daughter in the first place.

Their daughter would be staying in Athana, so why would they still stay here? After the marriage was settled, Leia and Chris stayed in the March family. Charlie and Angie followed Joseph to Turner Manor. The couple missed their grandchildren.

The next day, Leia also went to Turner Manor with gifts.

Joseph informed Leia that the house she was living in now had been given to her as a wedding gift. Leia refused.

Christina said that Quinn would be given the sthing when she got married in the future.

A few days later, Charlie bought a house near the base. It was a suite. He was afraid that Julian and Daria would not want it if he bought a villa. After Daria handed the key to her future daughter-in-law, Leia brought her parents over. Chris arranged for the house given by Joseph to be renovated. They would live there after they got married.

After everything was settled, Angie chose an auspicious day according to the March family's customs and sent an engagement gift to the newly bought suite. The house was under Leia's name. On the sday, Chris and Leia went to register their marriage.

Charlie could finally make a comeback. When Chris returned hafter collecting his marriage certificate, Charlie asked Chris to show him his marriage certificate. In the end, Charlie took a photo of the photo and sent it to William, saying, [Remember to prepare a wedding gift for Chris.] Chris and Leia looked at this unsmiling chairman and could only exchange glances of amusement. It turned out that everyone had a childish side. It was just that they usually did not show it, or they did not show it in front of outsiders.

William was also unwilling to admit defeat when he received the message. [My wedding gift has already generated interest when you've just started to be a father-in-law. I've been a grandfather for a long time.] After reading the message, Charlie couldn't be bothered anymore. He was in a good mood. Leia changed her address and called Charlie and Angie by their first names. Angie directly gave her another gift.

At night, Leia did not return to the March family. She stayed with the Yamin family. After registering their marriage, it was considered legitimate.

At the base.

Rose chose to deliver the baby at the base this time. She said she wanted to experience the feeling of giving birth in a different environment.

At this moment, she was lying on the bed with her hand on her stomach. "Dad, did Mr. Yamin say when Chris is getting married?" Natalie arranged the most luxurious ward in the base for Rose. It was free.

William put away his phone. "Hmph, he said at the end of the year. He's so smug. He doesn't even have grandchildren yet, but he's already so smug. Isn't that right, Nona? Here, cto Grandpa for a hug." Charlie would never be able to win against William in this lifetime.

Edward stood at the side and listened to his father-in-law's smug words. He was used to it.

Rose thought about it and said affirmatively, "I think my baby is a daughter.” Edward said gently, "I'm fine with either." He was not picky.

Grace said, "Either way, we'll still love them." "I'm just guessing. Brother, guess. Want to bet on it?" Frank glanced at his sister coldly. He hugged Cyril and could not be bothered with Rose. Ava decided to humor her and guessed, "If | said that it was a boy, would we still be able to play happily?" Grace shook her head. Rose was really worrisome. She was waiting to give birth to a child, yet she was still making bets. She had never seen Rose nervous before, but her son-in-law was extremely nervous.

On the sofa, William won another round. He was in a good mood as he teased his granddaughter. Nona giggled.

Cyril loved his father's hair and always liked to pull it. He would only let go after being warned by his father, but he would pull his father's hair again.
