Chapter 443 Seeking Sympathy From The Children
Christina’s anger continued to rise as she dwelled on the situation Me cansing a scene? He deliberately kept thingy from me vet mote he dares to accuse me of coming a rerne!
“Fine Just go ahead and think that I’m causing a scene. Let me go!” Christina tried shoving Nathaniel away, but her efforts were in vain.
Nathaniel placed his hands on her slender shoulders. “I didn’t tell you because I was worried you would
react this way.”
Fury surged inside Christina. Does that mean he felt he did the right thing by keeping it a secret?
“You’re being completely unreasonable! Release me!” Christina exclaimed, finally experiencing what it was like to erupt in rage. Her blood surged, reaching a boiling point, and she felt as if her fury could suffocate her. I wish I could sew his mouth shut with a needle!
She impatiently brushed his hand aside and stormed off, determined to find a place to hide.
As she stomped her way toward the room. Nathaniel followed right behind. “Calm down, please. Christina. Let’s talk nicely.”
“What’s there to talk about? You’re just trying to persuade me with your absurd excuses” She reached for the doorknob, intending to shut the door, but Nathaniel blocked her way, preventing her from closing it.
The couple engaged in a tense stare-down. The air seemed to freeze at that moment, with countless sparks flickering between them.
Christina’s eyes blazed with rage so intense that it could engulf the whole room the next second.
“Let me go.” She felt she was running out of patience.
Witnessing Nathaniel’s icy and detached demeanor, she boldly sank her teeth into his wrist without a moment’s hesitation. A subtle aroma of sandalwood permeated her nostrils, blending with the heat emanating from his body.
As she bit down with more force, he quickly stifled a groan and released his grip on the door. Christina took advantage of the opportunity, promptly pushing him out and firmly closing the door behind him.
She did all that in one go and didn’t show the slightest bit of doubt.
After that, she leaned against the door, inhaling Nathaniel’s intoxicating scent that enveloped the air around her. Frowning slightly, she exhaled and kicked her slippers away before climbing into bed and pulling the covers over her head.
She thought she would lose sleep that night, but surprisingly, she found herself drifting effortlessly into a deep slumber, all thanks to the alcohol.
The next day when she woke up. she felt much better.
Christina turned the doorknob and stepped out of her room, only to discover that the door to the children’s room was also ajar.
Lucas and Camila, still groggy from sleep, rubbed their eyes and softly greeted their mother, “Good morning. Mommy!”

“Good morning. Darlings. It’s time to freshen up. I’ll prepare breakfast for you” Christina tousled their hair and walked toward the living room.
As Christina walked past the couch, she couldn’t help but notice Nathaniel’s slender figure reclining on it. His coat lay aside, and his loosened tie and partially unfastened shirt buttons revealed his taut and muscular chest.
Even in his peaceful slumber, his aura remained impossible to ignore.
Christina knitted her brows. Why did he choose to sleep in the living room instead of the available guest room? Whose favor was he trying to gain by this act of sympathy-seeking?
Ignoring his presence, she walked directly to the kitchen, retrieved some ingredients, and proceeded to prepare some pasta.
After washing up and changing into their kindergarten uniforms, the two little ones walked out and spotted their father on the couch.
“Why is Daddy sleeping on the couch?” Camila asked with concern.
Lucas touched his chin and spoke with a serious tone. “Can’t you tell? Daddy must have made Mommy angry. Just like in television shows, when a husband upsets his wife, this is what happens!”
“Bút Mommy said we shouldn’t sleep without a blanket, or we might catch a cold,” Camila expressed her worry. She swiftly turned around, dashed into her room to fetch a blanket, and placed it over Nathaniel.
A surge of warmth enveloped Nathaniel, who was sleeping lightly. He opened his eyes and caught sight of his daughter’s endearing little face which instantly dispelled much of his distress.
“Daddy, you’re awake! Mommy prepared breakfast. Let’s eat together, okay?” Camila’s sweet voice seemed to melt in Nathaniel’s heart like cotton candy.
He lifted Camila into his arms and kissed her cheek. “All right.”
Carrying both kids, he walked straight to the dining table and sat down. Christina walked out with two bowls of pasta and placed them in front of the two little ones. “Dig in!”
She then returned to the kitchen to bring out her own bowl of pasta.
Camila fixed her innocent and shimmering eyes on her mother and asked softly. “Mommy, what about Daddy?”
Christina’s lips twitched slightly. “I didn’t prepare anything for him. Hurry up and eat. You need to go to school soon.”
There was a hint of disappointment in Camila’s eyes. After glancing at Nathaniel, she pushed her tiny bowl to him. “Daddy, let’s share.
Lucas, too, did the same. “You’ll get dizzy if you don’t eat breakfast. I can share half of my pasta with you.
Nathaniel felt touched by the children’s gestures and realized that all the love and care he showered upon his children were truly worthwhile. He ruffled their hair lovingly and said, “I’m not hungry. You two go ahead and eat.
“No, Daddy, you should eat too,” Camila insisted.

“Daddy, were you cold sleeping without a blanket last night” Lucas chimed in, showing his concer
Their words filled the room with soothing warmth, fostering a sweet and tender atmosphere among the three of them. Paradoxically, Christina became the sole villain in the house.
Christina clenched her teeth and glared at Nathaniel with a scowl. How dare he manipulate the children’ emotions by playing the sympathy card? Now they must think that I’m the one at fault!
Christina averted her gaze, bowing her head as she finished her breakfast in silence. Afterward, she got up and made her way to her room to change her clothes.
She chose a black dress with a necklace-style design, accentuating her delicate collarbone and fair complexion. Pulling her long hair up, she revealed her graceful swan-like neck, radiating an enchanting beauty.
Glancing at the time, she realized it was almost time to leave.
As she was walking out, she picked up the children’s bags and said, “Camila, Lucas, we should get going!”
Approaching them, she paused for a moment and was surprised to see her own bowl in front of Nathaniel, completely emptied. The man had finished all the remaining sauce in the bowl.
He grabbed a tissue and gracefully wiped his mouth before lifting the two little ones in his arms. “I’ll give you all a lift.”
“That won’t be necessary…” Christina replied.
Before she could decline his offer, Camila excitedly waved her hand. “Yay! It’s been a while since Daddy took us to school!”
“Daddy, put me on your shoulder! Let’s go!” Lucas loved sitting on his father’s shoulder because it allowed him to see far and wide.
Nathaniel smiled at the request and walked outside with the two kids in his arms. Christina had no choice but to tag along.
Once they reached the parking lot, Nathaniel placed the two children in the back seats. Just when Christina was about to get in with them, Camila stopped her. “Mommy, it’s a bit crowded in the back. You should sit in the front seat.”
“The pa*senger seat is for you,” Lucas echoed.
Seeing how persistent the two children were, Christina reluctantly closed the car door and settled into the
pa*senger seat.
Nathaniel’s lips curved into a slight smile as he ignited the engine and steered the car toward the direction of the kindergarten.
Some ten minutes later, Christina walked the kids into the kindergarten. Lucas and Camilla turned around and waved her goodbye. “Mommy, remember to come and pick us up early!”
“All right,” Christina responded. She only turned to leave after watching the kids step into the kindergarten hand in hand.
However, instead of returning to Nathaniel’s car, she started walking toward the road.
