Chapter 370 Mysterious Message
The edges of Nathaniel’s lips curved upward as he kissed her hair. “You’re jealous.”
Christina remained silent as he continued to hug her. I’m not jealous. I just think Madison’s a cunning woman. She was willing to leak important company secrets to keep Nathaniel around. Who knows what other crazy thing shell do next!
“Have you hugged me enough? I’m heading downstairs.” Upon removing his arms from her waist, she left. the study.
Displeased, Nathaniel watched her cold, stubborn figure leave.
The couple scarcely interacted in the following days.
Christina would appear gentle when the children were around, but she would keep herself busy if Nathaniel didn’t talk to her.
Soon, the weekend arrived in a blink of an eye.
Julia showed up at Scenic Garden Manor so she could bring the children to the Hadley residence to play
there.
-When the kids heard play time was waiting for them, they delightfully went upstairs to pack their clothes.
“You should sit first, Mom. I’ll help the children pack their clothes.” Christina followed behind Lucas and Camila.
Meanwhile, Julia turned to her son. “How are you and Christina recently?”
“Nothing out of the ordinary,” replied Nathaniel casually while he read an email on his tablet.
The edges of Julia’s lips curved upward. She quickly noticed the couple had relationship issues because she had been through that before.
Moments later, the children returned downstairs with a backpack full of their daily necessities.
Like adorable rabbits, they hopped toward Julia. “We’re ready, Grandma!”
“All right, my darlings.” She beamed.
After she asked Raymond to bring the kids out, she delivered two invitations to her son. “A friend opened an amusement park recently, and they sent me these invitations. Your father and I aren’t interested, so you can have these. If you have the time, you should bring Christina there to check it out.”
Nathaniel accepted the invitations. “Thank you, Mom.”
Christina blushed slightly, knowing Julia was trying to improve her relationship with Nathaniel.
“You two have fun, okay?” Upon patting the back of Christina’s hand, Julia returned to the Hadley residence with the children.
Nathaniel glanced at the time on the invitation. “It opens tomorrow at ten. Do you have the time for it?”
“I do.” Christina didn’t want to waste Julia’s effort.
Upon ending her sentence, she returned upstairs.
+5 Bonus
The next day, at ten in the morning. Christina put on a white dress with flower prints. The sunlight was intense, so she wore additional thin, sun-protective clothing over her short-sleeved dress.
She braided her hair, though a few strands remained at the side of her face. Under the sunlight, she seemed exceptionally gentle.
After descending the stairs, she saw Nathaniel in a suit, His expression was cold and somber.
“You’re not wearing that to an amusement park, are you?” Christina arched her eyebrow.
“Is there a problem?” That was how he was usually dressed.
“If you think it’s fine, then it’s fine.”
Without further delay, they headed to their destination in a car.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the amusement park entrance.
Nathaniel frowned after exiting the car because he saw a sea of people.
“How lively! It must be fun inside.” Christina’s eyes glinted. It’s been a long time since I have a vacation. “Let’s head inside, then.” Nathaniel resisted the urge to leave immediately and stood in line behind her. Christina felt her cheeks burning after standing under the scorching sunlight for a while.
There were plenty of umbrella chairs at the side of the entrance that came with large fans. Hence, many people sat there.
“You should rest at that spot. I’ll stay here. You can join me when we’re about to enter.” Nathaniel pushed Christina out of the line.
It feels weird to have the CEO of Hadley Corporation stand in line for me. “I think I should do it,” replied
Christina.
“Just go.” As he spoke, he shoved the ticket into his pocket.
Hence, Christina sat in the nearest chair and gazed at the long line.
Everyone there wore casual outfits except for Nathaniel. His expensive suit made him stick out like a sore thumb. While the people in front and behind him waited nonchalantly, he stood straight, exuding a prideful vibe.
More than ten minutes later, it was finally Nathaniel’s turn to enter.
Christina approached him before he gestured for her to join him. Once their tickets were scanned, the couple entered the amusement park.
The amusement park was brimming with a joyous and romantic atmosphere, further enhanced by lighthearted tunes.
Like a curious child, Christina scanned her surrounding. “We should grab an information pamphlet so we don’t get lost.”
What’s that Nathaniel followed her into a shop.
Upon seeing the free pamphlet on the counter’s shelf, Christina picked one up and flipped through it to see where to go first.
This is the first time I’ve seen Christina this attentive, aside from when she’s working or taking care of the children. It looks like bringing her here is the correct choice. Meanwhile, Nathaniel noticed a pair of female tourists strolling into the shop and putting on cartoon hairbands. Interesting.
He swept his gaze past the colorful hairbands before spotting one with cat ears on it.
Meanwhile, Christina had finished planning their route. We’ll end the day by watching fireworks at the castle entrance at seven in the evening! Perfect!
Just as she lifted her head, she saw a hairband with cat ears atop her head in the mirror. “This is…”
“It looks great. You should keep it,” uttered Nathaniel before he ambled toward the cashier to pay for it.
The couple then exited the store and followed Christina’s route.
She tried everything she laid her eyes on in the motorized zone while Nathaniel accompanied her.
However, he disliked partaking in exciting activities like those because he’d get dizzy. To prevent that, he asked Sebastian to buy a bottle of motion sickness drugs for him beforehand.
He didn’t want to ruin the mood as it was rare for him to spend time with her outside.
After they tired themselves playing, they rested in a mushroom-shaped chair. Christina bought two bottles of water and handed one to him.
Subconsciously, Christina leaned on Nathaniel’s shoulder. With a soft tone, she proposed, “I’m exhausted. Let’s rest for a bit before we head to the big stage over there. The pamphlet says there’ll be performances and even fireworks at the end.”
“Okay.” Nathaniel sipped while letting her rest on his body.
Once the tourists heard the announcement of the performance starting, they strode toward the big stage. Nathaniel held Christina’s hand tightly as they traveled through the crowd, worried she might get
lost.
Abruptly, Christina received a text message on her phone: If you want to know why your home was set ablaze four years ago, look for me behind the stage.
