Chapter 326 Helpful Kids
The kids called Nathaniel their daddy. That means they have finally acknowledged him. Christina hesitated.
Right then, Camila pleaded in a cute tone, “Mommy, let Daddy sleep here tonight, okay? Otherwise, we’ll be worried about him…”
Christina couldn’t resist the kids’ cute voices and their teary eyes.
Hence, she held up a finger and uttered warily, “Fine. However, he can only sleep in the guest room.”
Nathaniel then grabbed her finger and responded, “Anything you say.”
At that moment, his eyes were filled with intense emotions. If the kids weren’t there, he would’ve made a move on Christina on the spot.
“In that case, you’ll be responsible for putting the kids to bed.” Christina didn’t want to be in the same room as him. “Sleep early, Camila, Lucas!”
“Yes, Mommy!” the kids agreed obediently.
Nathaniel was impressed by her ability to coax the kids. The little ones behave themselves well in front of
Christina.
As soon as Christina left the room, Camila and Lucas turned toward Nathaniel at once. “Daddy, you promised to bring us horseback riding during the weekend if we could convince Mommy. You must keep your word!”
The kids were very interested in horseback riding.
Nathaniel carried the kids to the bed and replied in a gentle tone, “Why would I lie to you? In fact, I’ve already made a call to reserve the venue. We’ll go there with your mommy this weekend, okay?”
Camila and Lucas gave each other a high-five and cheered, “You’re the best, Daddy!”
“All right. It’s time to sleep. I’ll read you guys a story.” Under the dim lights, Nathaniel sat by the bed, held a storybook in his hands, and read them a story in a coaxing tone.
While looking at Nathaniel’s handsome face from the side, the kids felt utterly blissful.
After she was done taking a shower, Christina put on a cla*sic Victoria’s Secret pink nightgown with a silk belt in the middle, and her long hair fell like a waterfall down her back.
She then read her emails while sitting cross-legged on the couch. A while later, she felt tired, so she lay on the couch and cleared her mind with her eyes shut.
Just then, the room door was pushed open, and Nathaniel came through the door.
Christina didn’t know Nathaniel was standing right in front of her until he carried her up in his arms. Upon hearing his strong and loud heartbeat, she opened her eyes abruptly.
She saw his handsome face right away. His chin was slightly raised, and he was exhaling minty breaths.
“What are you doing?” Taken aback, Christina almost jumped in alarm.
Nathaniel maintained a calm and subdued expression. I’m just doing what I’ve always done. I would gently
carry
her to bed every time she fell asleep on the couch. However, she never looked at me this way.
“I’m carrying you to bed,” he replied.
Christina blushed immediately. While kicking her legs aggressively in mid-air, she protested, “Let me go! I don’t want you to carry me!”
Nathaniel ignored her and carried her to the side of the bed.
“Let me go!” Christina struggled even harder to free herself.
No one knew if Nathaniel had lost his balance or had naughty intentions, but they both ended up onto the bed.
“Why are you lying in my bed? Go away! Go away!” Christina kicked Nathaniel repeatedly.
falling
Nathaniel was kicked in the shoulder, abdomen, and chest. Her feet are so small, but she’s so aggressive with her kicks!
She then landed her final kick on his head and gritted her teeth. “Get out of my bed.”
Nathaniel couldn’t bear to get angry when he saw Christina puffing up her cheeks angrily.
If someone else were to kick his head, he would’ve broken the person’s legs.
However, Nathaniel remained unfazed, and he traced his gaze along her legs.
Christina saw the weird look he had in his eyes and realized she was wearing a nightgown. She then quickly retracted her legs and wrapped herself up with the blanket. “Pervert!” she fumed.
In response, Nathaniel rubbed his forehead and muttered, “How could you say that after you kicked me? I’m in pain…”
He pretended to be in pain and rubbed the spots that were reddened as a result of her kicks.
With her head poked out of the blanket, Christina uttered with her watery eyes, “Get out! You’re sleeping in the guest room.”
“My chest hurts… I can’t move.” Nathaniel lay down on the bed with his brows furrowed and lips pursed. He looked like he was in a lot of pain.
Ha! He’s playing tricks on me… Christina wrapped the only blanket in the room around herself and rolled. over to the other side of the bed. With that, she created the most distance she could between herself and the man.
Nathaniel was happy to learn that she wasn’t chasing him out of the room anymore. I don’t mind not having a blanket. In fact, I would even sleep on the floor.
Time ticked off, and the room became silent.
“Are
you asleep, Christina?” Nathaniel voiced but heard nothing in response. “Christina?”
Still, Nathaniel didn’t get a response.
Hence, Nathaniel inched toward her and carefully wrapped his arm around her waist.
He found comfort as soon as he felt her tender body. As he inched closer, he eventually rested his face on her head. When he caught a whiff of her pleasant smell, he couldn’t help pulling her into his embrace.
The following day, the morning sunlight flooded the room through the gla*s window, and the curtains. swayed in the wind.
Christina had a pleasant sleep as she felt as though she was sleeping in a room with a fireplace.
Upon hearing the alarm ringing, she opened her eyes and wanted to stretch her back. That was when she realized that she was in Nathaniel’s embrace.
At that moment, Nathaniel’s dashing face was inches from hers, and she could feel the warmth of his breath on her face. We’re so close to each other that it’s as if we’re one!
“Let me go, Nathaniel.” Christina pushed him and tried to free herself.
With his eyes shut, Nathaniel gritted his teeth lightly before replying, “Don’t move. I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in a long while.”
Little did Christina know that Nathaniel had been thinking about her before he went to bed every night. Hence, he could only sleep soundly whenever he was dog-tired.
Needless to say, he wasn’t a fan of those tormenting days.
Christina was having none of it, though. She tried pushing his arm away and biting it, but her efforts were
futile.
“If you move again, I’m going to kiss you,” he warned.
Hearing that, Christina had no choice but to stay still and let him hug her.
After some time, Christina fell asleep once again.
When she woke up, Nathaniel was no longer there.
Therefore, she got out of bed, got changed, and went to her office.
The moment she entered her office, she saw a familiar silhouette she had missed dearly.
