Back At Scenic Garden Manor Again
Nathaniel furrowed his brows. The big gray wolf? Are they referring to me?
Although the backseat of the car was quite spacious, the three of them squeezed into the corner like
fish hiding from a cat.
The two adorable kids stared at him with vigilant eyes as if he were a menacing villain about to pounce
on
them.
His gaze fell upon Lucas’ little face. Between the clean features and delicate eyebrows of the boy, there
emanated an aura of composure, which was quite similar to Nathaniel.
On the contrary, Camila’s gaze toward Nathaniel was one of fear. With just a few more glances from
the latter. Camila was so frightened that she nestled into Christina’s embrace.
Nathaniel raised his hand to massage his temples and redirected his focus to the tablet he held in his
hand.
Due to the long travel time, the two adorable little ones soon leaned against Christina’s body and
peacefully fell asleep.
A tinge of yellowish evening sun poured in as three peaceful sleeping faces quietly rested against each
other, exuding a serene and nostalgic ambiance.
Nathaniel took out à blanket and gently placed it over them. He was very cautious as he did not want to
disturb their sleep.
At that very moment, the priority was for Christina and the kids to come back to his side, and the rest
could be dealt with later.
When the car came to another stop, they were back at Scenic Garden Manor.
As the car door opened, Christina reluctantly stepped onto the ground. A gust of wind swept by, and
she couldn’t help but perceive a subtle air of oppression around her.
It was the first time Camila and Lucas had seen such a large courtyard. Deep inside their hearts, there
was a mixture of fear and curiosity toward the unfamiliar surroundings.
Mommy, where are we?” Camila couldn’t hold back and asked.
Nathaniel drew closer and said, “This is your home.”
Just then, Camila appeared frightened, as if she had encountered a fearsome beast. Iter little hands
reached out to climb onto Christina. “Mommy, hug me
Nathaniel’s attempts to get closer were met with rejection by Camila.
With an irritated look, Christina shot a warning glance at Nathaniel, signaling him not to approach the
kid.
She held Camila close to her chest and tenderly caressed her little head. “Camila, be good. Don’t
worry.
I’m here.”
With a determined cool face, Lucas stood beside Christina, acting like a guardian angel and constantly
on guard against Nathaniel’s approach.
Nathaniel had no choice but to give in. “Christina, take the kids inside first. It’s not good to stand here
and be exposed to the wind.”
No matter how stubborn Christina might be, she would never risk her kids’ health out of spite.
Despite her reluctance, Nathaniel had already brought them back.
Escaping was an unrealistic thought.
She pulled Lucas and whispered. “Let’s go inside first. Are you guys hungry?
Camila nodded and spoke with an innocent voice. “Mommy, I’m hungry.”
“I’m not hungry. Lucas didn’t want to enter the big gray wolf’s house. However, as soon as he said that,
his stomach growled.
Noticing how sensible Lucas was, Christina’s heart ached. “After all the traveling. I’m hungry too. How
about we secretly eat up all the food in the big gray wolf’s house so that he has nothing to eat?”
Upon hearing that, Camila and Lucas blinked their watery eyes and gave a nod of agreement.
“Let’s go inside,” said Christina.
She knew that the more she resisted, the more her kids would resist. She didn’t want to burden them
with her negative emotions.
As they walked in, they were welcomed by Raymond.
It had been four years since Raymond and Christina last met. Christina appeared to have developed a
sense of calmness and sophistication compared to before.
“Mrs. Hadley, you’re finally back. I’ve been waiting for you for four years since you left…” Raymond
looked down and found two adorable kids who looked exactly like Nathaniel did when he was a child.
“Are these two Mr. Hadley’s children?” he then asked.
Christina silently acquiesced and said. “We’ve been on the road for the entire day, and the kids are
hungry. Can you arrange for the kitchen to prepare some food?”
“Mr. Hadley called back earlier and made the arrangements. The food is still steaming hot,” Raymond
replied.
There had not been many changes in Scenic Garden Manor. It looked the same as when Christina left
four years ago.
Christina led the kids into the dining room. Upon seeing the abundant food, both Camila and Lucas
couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow!”
“Come and have your meal” Christina served rice and dishes to the two kids. Although she occasionally
took them out for meals, their appetites were small, so she usually refrained from excessive spending
and wastefulness.
However, for the two kids, they found it fascinating, and all sorts of desserts were their favorite.
After finishing their meal, Christina took them upstairs for a bath.
After putting on clean pajamas, the three of them lay down in the guest room to sleep.
The brother and sister lay on Christina’s sides, leaning their little heads against her shoulders.
“Mommy, are we going to stay here from now on?”
Christina fixed her gaze on the ceiling and got lost in her thoughts. “Do you both like it here?”
“Kind of, but not really,” Lucas answered sincerely.
“If you both like it here, we’ll stay. If not, we can find somewhere else. It’s all up to you, okay?” Christina
said softly.
There was complete silence in the room.
Christina lowered her head and realized that the two adorable little ones had fallen asleep from
exhaustion.
She breathed a soft sigh, tucked them in with the blanket, and planted a gentle kiss on their peacefully
sleeping faces.
Inside the study, Nathaniel sat by the desk and went through the documents, with piles of files in the
corner forming a small mountain.
A slender figure walked in.
“Why aren’t you resting at this late hour?” Nathaniel looked up, and his eyes were as calm as a frozen
lake.
There was no trace of emotion in Christina’s eyes. “What exactly do you want? To confine me like in
the past?”
Her tone was frosty as well.
Nathaniel stood up and walked toward her. His tall figure enveloped her fragile figure. He then
delicately placed his hand on her slender shoulder and said meaningfully. “As long as you don’t run
away, I won’t…”
“Have you ever thought about why I wanted to run away?” Christina’s questioning voice was like a
sharp knife piercing him deeply.
Why doesn’t he think about who drove me away back then?
Nathaniel responded, “We both made mistakes in those matters, and I don’t want to dwell on them.
Can you also-”
“No,” Christina refuted.
Her heart was not a blackboard, and memories were not like chalk marks that could be easily erased.
“So what do you want? I’m willing to do anything as long as you stay with me.” Nathaniel’s temples
throbbed vigorously on both sides.
Nathaniel, who had encountered all kinds of problems in life, found himself utterly helpless in front of
this young woman.
Christina thought for a moment and said, “I want you to move out of Scenic Garden Manor. I don’t
want. to see you anymore.”
“Is that it?” Nathaniel couldn’t believe his ears.
Christina lazily lifted her gaze. For Nathaniel, Scenic Garden Manor was his home. He had mysophobia
and couldn’t sleep well outside.
However, she realized that after four years of running, coming back here was the only choice, and
escaping again seemed meaningless.
Christina replied, “I haven’t thought about anything else yet, so for now, this is the only condition.”
“Fine. I’ll move out tomorrow,” Nathaniel agreed immediately.
Christina withdrew her shoulder from his grasp and turned around to leave.
Nathaniel reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his embrace, and slowly walked toward
the
door.
