Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

The morning was like a hazy sketch. The faint light outlined the neighborhood. The mist was dotted, which was illusory and ethereal.

The temperature outside today was one degree higher than yesterday, but one could not feel anything from it.

After putting on his clothes, Chris felt the weather outside was not bad. It was boring for him to run alone. He planned to bring his sister along. After running, his sister could also go back to sleep. It would not affect her.

He made arrangements in his heart and did as he thought.

He went straight to his sister's room and patted her head. "Stella, get up and go to the bathroom. Hurry up." "You're so annoying. Get lost. I'm sleeping." Chris was speechless.

Upholding the principle that siblings should share blessings and difficulties, Chris did not let Stella off. "Learn from Mom and play music by the bed." Angie had already gotten up. She saw her son dressed neatly through the crack in the door and quickly crawled back into bed.

After playing music for 10 minutes, it was a little... gory.

Five minutes later...

"Chris, are you crazy? If you want to run, just run. Why did you have to drag me along?" Stella was wearing cute pajamas. She stood on the bed with her hands on her hips.

Chris grabbed the wrist of one of her hands that was on her waist and wanted to pull his sister down. He had just been hit on the head a few times. She was so rebelling. He had to teach her a lesson. "Come here. You'd better be more self-aware." Stella remembered not to hit someone in the face. "I didn't hit your face. | just scratched your neck. What's wrong with that?" The weekend that she had been looking forward to was disturbed by her brother. She was full of anger from waking up and was furious.

Chris said, "It's difficult for someone like you to get married.” Stella won. She flipped her hair and shook off her brother's hand. "Hmph, the same goes for you. | have no intention of getting married at all. If you don't want to get married, try it." The siblings stabbed each other's hearts and pierced their lungs with words.

Chris choked. Indeed, he couldn't. His sister could choose not to get married, but he couldn't. His mother would say he had let all his ancestors down.

Stella grumbled, "You woke me up and even tried to beat me up. Apologize to me." "Hey, who's the one hitting the other? Look at my neck." Chris pointed at his neck.

It was a burning pain. Chris didn't have eyes on the back of his head, so he didn't know how long the wound was. However, based on the pain, he could guess that it was bleeding.

He gave in to his sister, so she scratched him a few times.

Following her brother's words, Stella took a step forward. She tilted her head and reached out to pull open her brother's clothes to take a look. The back of his ear had indeed been scratched. It should have been accidentally scratched when he was struggling just now.

She replied guiltily, "Who asked you to disturb my sleep? It's not like you don't know | have to sleep in on weekends. Let me help you apply some medicine and paste an adhesive bandage on the wound." "Alright, I'm too lazy to talk to you." After saying that, Chris left his sister's room while covering his neck in defeat. His expression was not very good. Stella stood behind and wanted to comfort her brother.

She was a little regretful that she had hit him too hard. She pouted and jumped off the bed.

She quickly put on her pajamas and left the house as fast as she could without washing her face. Because she came out hurriedly, she forgot to wear a scarf and sneezed from the cold.

As she chased after her elder brother, who had already started jogging, she tied her hair up casually. There were still a few strands of hair that she had yet to tie up. Seeing this, Chris wanted to reach out to help, but he restrained himself from helping because he was angry.

He jogged forward by himself. When he was angry, he did not feel cold at all. Stella ran backward beside Chris. The cold wind penetrated her smooth neck. She wore a thin set of pajamas inside and thick pajamas outside. She was wearing sneakers.

Her dress was quite .

It was not the first time that Stella and Chris had fought. They had fought since they were young.

Stella retreated. She jogged toward her brother and apologized. "Hey, | apologize for your injury. Don't look so stern. | didn't scratch you on purpose.” As she spoke, she tugged at her brother's wrist. The truth was Chris was not angry. He deliberately pulled a long face and stopped in his tracks. He took off the scarf from his neck and wrapped it around his sister's neck. Stella tilted her head and leaned closer. She looked at her brother with a smile and a fawning expression.

The woman following behind kept watching the interaction between the two of them. From the back, she could see that a couple was showing affection to each other. The man was afraid that the woman would be cold, so he put a scarf on the woman. The woman was lowering her head and smiling foolishly because her shoulders were trembling.

With her sharp eyes, she saw the scratch on the back of the man's ear. She had never been in a relationship, but she was an adult and knew what caused it.

She cursed in her heart, ‘That's really..." Shaking her head, she smiled faintly and ran past him.

There was a slight gust of wind when the woman ran past him. Chris happened to help his sister tie her scarf. He looked up at the woman. She was not wearing a mask. Her facial features were exquisite, and she had rosy cheeks. There seemed to be a trace of gentleness under her professionalism. Even her hands waving in front of her were so attractive.

Seeing that her brother was no longer angry, Stella decided to go back to sleep. She waved her hand in front of him. "What are you thinking about? Chris, I'll go back now." As soon as she moved her leg, Chris pulled her forward without saying a word. "Why are you still going back when you're already out? Join me for a run." Stella's footsteps were heavy and her legs could not move. She begged, "Can | not go?" "No.

"Come on, Chris. Just let me go back. I'll start work tomorrow. | only have today." Stella was pulled forward by her brother.

Chris turned a deaf ear to his sister's words. Although she was noisy, he wouldn't feel bored. He did not say this out loud, afraid they would fight again.

"Stella." A female voice came from behind them.

Looking for the source of the voice, the siblings turned their heads simultaneously. Before Chris could react, Stella, standing beside him, had already broken free from his hand and walked toward the woman who called for them. The woman stopped and stood beside them. One could tell that there was a trace of surprise on her face.

Stella was even more surprised. In her heart, she was looking for a precise word to describe the current scene. What was it called again? Was it yesterday or the day before yesterday? She had forgotten. She even asked Mona where Leia lived. It turned out she also lived here.

It seemed to be quite accurate.

"Ms. March, do you live in this neighborhood too?" The woman wore a dark coffee-colored down jacket and wide-legged jeans. Underneath was a white Chanel knit shirt with black lines outlining the pattern. She was wearing a Bluetooth earpiece in her left ear. Her chest was heaving a little because she was running.

Leia glanced at Stella's strange attire but did not comment.

Chris sized her up for a while and looked away, afraid she would say he was rude. When he saw this woman, the woman who asked him if he could read the gynecologist's prescription appeared in his mind. She also had short hair and was also an employee of Yamin Group.

They looked similar. ‘Could it be that Dad recruits people according to the same standards?" he thought.

Leia looked at Stella's answer and exhaled. "Yes, the company arranged accommodation for me. So, you also run in the morning?" "Oh... Oh, no. I'm accompanying my brother. Isn't it the weekend today? My brother has this habit. I'l accompany him for a while today, right, Chris?" Stella wanted to leave a good impression in front of her superior. So she couldn't tell her the real reason.

‘Brother? ‘Aren't they a couple? ‘Then the wound on his neck... He is so unrestrained. He doesn't even hide it when he faces his sister,’ Leia thought.

Leia looked at Chris. He wore a gray collarless sweater, a black coat, and jeans. He looked handsome in them. This meant that he was the future heir of the Yamin Group.

His eyebrows and eyes were similar to the doctor she saw the other day, but that doctor's name was Kimble Lance. Leia had a good memory.

She thought the future heir of the Yamin Group should be surnamed Yamin.

She had heard from Christina that her brother was obsessed with surgery and refused to inherit the family business. Now, she finally saw him in person.

But didn't Christina say that her brother was straight and didn't have a girlfriend? She said he had been a bachelor since he was born.

At that time, Christina had even joked about letting her try with her brother. At that time, she had rejected it. She knew what kind of family she was from and did not want to climb the social ladder.

She knew she was not bad, but her family background could not compare to other people's. Moreover, it was such a big company, so she said at that time that she did not like matchmaking and liked to let nature take its course.

Leia stood upright. "Oh, it's quite good." Stella began the introductions. Holding her brother's wrist, she said politely, "This is my brother, Chris Yamin, a doctor.” Hearing Stella's introduction, Leia was sure that it was just his eyes that looked like the doctor's. Out of politeness, she smiled faintly and said, "Hello." She did not tell him her name.

Chris said, "Hello." With her superior around, Stella suddenly wanted to run. She directly left her brother out. She did not expect Leia to live in the same neighborhood as her. ‘Christina and Joseph must know this. Why did they not tell me? That is too much,’ Stella thought.

Then she said, "Ms. March, did Joseph arrange for you to stay here?" What was originally a one-person team became a two-person team. Now, it was a three-person team. Chris, who was following behind, suddenly felt left out.

Leia jogged as she said, "Yeah." Stella found it a little strenuous to follow Leia's footsteps. After a while, she panted. "I... I... Christina is tight-lipped. She didn't tell me anything at all. If | had known earlier, you could have come to our house for dinner." It must be very lonely for her to come from Sapphire City to this place alone," Stella thought. As she chatted, she forgot Leia was her superior and started talking.

Chris quietly followed behind. His ears were not idle.

"You adjust your breathing and follow your footsteps. Yes, you don't have to take big mouthfuls. Just keep it balanced like this." Seeing that her subordinate had learned it, Leia retracted her gaze. She had not looked at Chris since just now. She liked doctors, but she wouldn't flirt with a random man. "I'm not punctual when | go to and from work. It's always late." When she said that, Stella thought that it made sense. Leia always worked overtime. Otherwise, she would have met her on her way to work or gotten off work after so long. "Alright, then you can come to our house for a meal on the weekend. My mother loves lively things. Besides, we all know each other. There's no need to be shy, right, Chris?" Chris, whose name was suddenly called, followed behind. He looked at the two women in front and replied, "Yes." Leia didn't reject this enthusiastic invitation. She replied with words like the company's official announcement, "Okay, I'll go when I'm free.” The truth was, she wouldn't go.

Chris, who was following behind, remained silent. He was like a tool for accompanying them to run or a recorder for an interview.

Stella talked a lot. Today, Leia was very approachable. There was no coldness and alienation in her. Stella became bolder as she followed her and asked her questions.

Leia did not ignore her. She only replied briefly, "Yes, I'm the only child." Stella used a regretful tone. She thought the only child was very lonely and under pressure. "All the more reason for you to come to our house to play. We have three children. My sister is married to Sapphire City, so only my brother and | are home." Leia smiled beautifully. "Okay, sure." Stella followed Leia all the way. She didn't know what she asked, but she seemed to have asked all the questions she should and shouldn't have asked. She asked her if she was the only child in her family and everything about her hometown, university, major in university...

In the end, Stella passionately told Leia which house her villa was.

At the same time, she also asked Leia which villa she lived in. Leia also answered honestly. Even if she didn't say it, Christina would tell her.

Leia thought that Stella would not look for her. She could tell that Stella was a little afraid of her in the company, and she was only a little bold today.
