Chapter 447 Get The Outsider To Leave
The moment seemed like an eternity.
By the time Christina was released, she felt a burning sensation on her slightly swollen lips.
Nathaniel gave her an insatiable look. “Let’s go home.”
With that, he walked out of the guest room with Christina in tow.
Twenty minutes later, their car arrived at the entrance of Scenic Garden Manor.
After he opened the door to the front pa*senger seat, Nathaniel gave her a nonchalant look as he asked. “Do you want to walk, or shall I carry you?”
However, Christina held on tightly to the safety belt for she preferred to return to her condominium instead.
She had, after all, paid for it with her own money and had her name on the title deed. It was a place where she felt safe and had a sense of belonging
After unbuckling Christina’s safety belt on her behalf, Nathaniel carried her in his arms and strode into the house.
Given how light Christina was, Nathaniel was able to carry her easily. It was something that he enjoyed doing. To him, it felt just like holding a furry pet in his arms.
As it was already late, the quiet surroundings amplified the sound of their footsteps.
“Put me down.” Christina couldn’t help but feel awkward.
However, Nathaniel responded in a deep voice, “Go on protesting if you don’t mind waking the kids up.”
D*mn it, he’s threatening me again!
Christina had no choice but to acquiesce to his demand. Once they entered the room and shut the door behind them, she struggled to free herself from Nathaniel’s arms,
“I’ll walk by myself,” she declared in a cordial tone, just like a wary porcupine that had its quills erected.
Sensing her anger, Nathaniel stopped what he was doing and retracted his hands from around her slender
waist.
He knew that it would be a blatant show of disrespect to Christina if he did what he wanted with her when she was angry.
After being reprimanded one too many times, Nathaniel was mindful of the fact. Thus, he would no longer force his will upon Christina, unlike in the past.
Staring at her slender body, he swallowed the lump in his throat.
Christina, who detected the lust in Nathaniel’s eyes, grabbed her pajamas from the wardrobe before heading to the bathroom.

Upon turning on the shower, she allowed the warm water to cleanse every inch of her skin. The water temperature was perfect in helping ease the tension within her.
Once she was done, Christina emerged from the bathroom, drying her hair with a towel. She subsequently settled down on the couch to blow it.
After that, she swiftly tied her hair into a fishtail braid that rested casually on her shoulder.
Meanwhile, her feet were hurting after spending the entire evening in heels.
Thus, she bent down to give them a ma*sage, hoping to alleviate the soreness she felt.
Soon, a woody scent filled the air, heralding the arrival of Nathaniel. He subsequently sat down and placed her feet on his lap where began to rub them gently.
“Where does it hurt?” he asked with his head lowered and gaze fixed upon her dainty feet.
Christina’s brows knitted slightly. “Everywhere!”
It was rare for her to wear heels, and every time she did, it felt exhausting to her. On top of that, it didn’t help that she had to spend a long time standing that day.
After grunting softly in acknowledgment, Nathaniel continued with his ma*sage.
The soreness in Christina’s feet disappeared after a short while as if his hands were capable of magic. It made her decide to lie down on the couch and relish in the special treatment
With her eyes closed, her entire body began to relax until a warm sensation crept up from the bottom of her feet.
Christina’s eyes widened abruptly as she sat up straight without warning.
The shock in Nathaniel’s eyes told her that her reaction had also caught him by surprise.
“That’s enough!” Christina kicked his palm away grumpily before springing up to her feet from the couch. She then made a dash to the bed as if she was being pursued by a fearsome animal.
The moment she lay down, she wrapped herself tightly inside the blanket.
The fearful response she demonstrated brought a sense of disappointment upon Nathaniel.
Thereafter, he lay down beside Christina and embraced her despite the blanket separating them. He hugged her tightly as if she would squirrel away from his arms at any moment.
As the dim moonlight illuminated the room, both of them managed to get a good night’s sleep inexplicably.
Upon waking up the next morning, Christina put on a casual outfit before heading down
Lucas and Camila were playing with wooden blocks in the living room. Their incessant a heartwarming sight.
“Mommy, we feel like having your cooking today.”
“Mommy, I want to have grilled pork ribs, fried fish… Lucas listed out ten dishes at one go, salivating while speaking, as if he was deprived of food for a very long time.

Christma looked completely nonplussed. “Are you really that hungry?”
With a dreamy look in her eyes, Camila explained matter-of-factly, “Mommy, we heard Mr. Patel mention that Daddy is suffering from gastric because he hasn’t been eating well. If you cook, he’ll definitely enjoy the good-”
Camila’s mouth was covered by Lucas before she could finish. “You’re such a fool, Camila. You can’t say it like that. Once Mommy knows the real reason, she won’t cook for Daddy. Do you want him to go hungry?”
Realizing that she had made a mistake, Camila covered her mouth by reflex and gave her mother a blank
stare.
The girl’s eyes began to redden as she was worried that Christina would refuse to cook for Nathaniel.
Obviously, Christina was unwilling to do so, but the children’s concern for Nathaniel forced her to relent. “Since you want it so much, why don’t you come in and help?”
The two children raised their hands in joy. “Hurray!”
Once they stepped into the kitchen, the siblings began washing vegetables. In the meantime, Christina did the cutting and cooking. It wasn’t until two hours had pa*sed that the food was finally ready.
After packing the dishes up neatly, she headed to the office together with the children.
The moment the elevator doors opened, the siblings pushed open the office door impatiently. “Daddy, we’re here to have lunch with you-”
Camila’s excited voice stopped abruptly.
Sitting on the couch was Madison who was well-dressed. She gave the three a look as if they had intruded. upon her space. Jealousy immediately welled up within her when she saw the lunch box Christina was holding.
Meanwhile, Christina’s eyes darkened in response. “Since when are outsiders allowed to enter the CEO’s. office without permission?”
“Ms. Christina, Ms. Taggart is here to deliver some documents. The partnership with Taggart Group hasn’t ended yet.” Sebastian explained.
Such trivial matters are usually dealt with by a*sistants. It’s obvious that Madison is here to see Nathaniel for her to come all the way here for something like that.
Christina’s shifted her attention to Sebastian. “I’ve prepared lunch. Please get the outsider to leave.”
Sebastian nodded before looking in Madison’s direction. “Once Mr. Hadley has signed the documents, I’ll gel someone to return them”
Cognizant that she was unwelcomed, the solemn-looking Madison reluctantly got to her feet. Unexpectedly, a small figure appeared in her way.
