Christina wasn’t a cruel person. Since Gideon didn’t harm her or Sharon when he followed them, she
didn’t see the need to beat him up any further.
Staring at his bleeding nose, she asked coldly, “Is your nose all right?”
Surprised by the concern shown toward him, Gideon frantically shook his head. “I’m fine. It’s just a little
bit of blood. In fact, it doesn’t hurt at all. There’s no need for you to worry.”
Christina sneered, “You misunderstand. I’m not concerned about you. As I was the one who struck you,
my reputation would be ruined if you were to suffer any after–effects later on and word of it got out. I’m
not someone who likes to owe anyone favors.”
Just as she spoke, she retrieved the brick from her bag and threw it into the trash. Thereafter, she
handed Gideon a packet of tissues and a wad of cash.
Staring blankly at what she was giving him, Gideon looked disappointed as he attempted to speak but
hesitated in the end.
“Wipe away the blood on your face and clothes. Otherwise, people might misunderstand and send you
to the police station. As for the money, treat it as compensation for the medical expenses for your
nose.”
“I can’t take your money indiscriminately anymore,” Gideon declared with a look of conviction in his eye
“I know I have been a jerk all this while by using your mom to force you into a marriage just for money. I
might be in dire circumstances now, but adversity has allowed me to find meaning in life. Therefore, I’m
not going to repeat the same mistakes again.”
Just when Christina assumed that Gideon was lying, the latter stood up proudly before walking away
with an unsteady gait.
Briefly stunned, Christina began to pack her things with a sense of dread.
She was uncertain if Gideon had really turned over a new leaf, but what concerned her more was the
fact that he could see Sharon in her absence.
Given how soft–hearted Sharon was, she would be in danger if she was taken in by Gideon’s repentant
charade.
After all, she was a victim of the latter’s insidious methods in the past.
Thereafter, Christina returned home feeling unsettled.
Upon hearing the door open, Sharon emerged from the kitchen to welcome Christina back. However,
the sight of the latter’s empty hands caused her to ask quizzically, “Christina, didn’t you say that you
were going to buy cherries?”
Christina quickly replaced her troubled expression with one of regret. “I was too late. The cherries were
sold out by the time I got there.”
Sharon consoled her with a smile, “Don’t fret. If you still want them, I’ll get some from the market
tomorrow. They’ll definitely be juicy and fresh. Now that you’re pregnant, it’s imperative to feed yourself
with as much nutrition as possible. We have to make sure the child you’re carrying gets everything it
needs.”
Holding her mother’s arm, Christina replied in a cute voice, “Thank you, Mom. What have you cooked
today? It smells delicious! I’m feeling hungry already.”
“They’re all your favorite dishes. Go wash your hands and take a break. Once the soup is ready, we
can have lunch. I’ve also made an extra portion for Nathaniel, so you can bring it back to him tonight.”
Christina leaned against her mother just like a kitten looking for attention. “There’s no need to wait till
tonight. I have something to deal with at the studio at noon. I’ll drop it off to him on my way there.”
“In that case, I’ll pack it into a lunch box for him.” With that, Sharon returned to the kitchen. After
washing her hands, Christina joined her mother inside to help. However, she was quickly chased out
due to Sharon’s concern about the impact of fumes on the baby.
Left without a choice, Christina sat obediently at the dining table and waited.
After lunch was done, mother and daughter chatted a while before the latter needed to rush back to her
studio.
As Sharon handed the lunch box to Christina, she didn’t forget to give her daughter some advice.
“Christina, you have to make your child the priority, so don’t focus too much on work. On top of that,
Nathaniel’s work isn’t easy. Whenever he goes on a business trip or comes home late, don’t be too
hard on him. Whatever issues both of you have, it’s important to communicate them to each other
instead of throwing a tantrum. Only by adopting an understanding and forgiving attitude can your
marriage last for a long time.”
“I know, Mom. Don’t worry,” Christina didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at her mother’s words.
She then assured, “Did you hear some unfounded rumors from someone? Honestly, the stories of
Nathaniel’s philandering ways on the internet are nonsense. Don’t believe any of them. Both of us
couldn’t be any happier, and he loves me a lot now. As we plan to spend the rest of our lives with each
other, we’re not going to act impulsively when it comes to our relationship.” D
Nodding in response, Sharon was sincerely happy that her daughter had found her soulmate. “Anyway,
be careful while you’re out there. I’ll get you the cherries tomorrow, so why don’t you bring Nathaniel
over for a meal? He has done a lot for me while I was in the hospital the day before. I still haven’t
thanked him for it yet.”
After putting on her jacket and scarf, Christina replied with a smile, “We’re family, Mom. Nathaniel isn’t
going to mind something like that. That said, we’ll still come to visit you tomorrow. Anyway, you haven’t
fully recovered yet, so you don’t have to walk me down.”
After stepping out with the heavy lunch box in her hand, Christina waved goodbye to Sharon before
closing the door and taking the elevator down.
From afar, Christina could spot the familiar Maybach waiting at the entrance.
The driver’s door quickly opened with Sebastian running out to help Christina carry her stuff.
Christina was surprised by the sight. “Mr. Taggart, aren’t you supposed to be recuperating at the
hospital?”
Worried about Sebastian, she quickly scrutinized him from head to toe.
Nonetheless, he replied respectfully, “My injuries weren’t serious, so I’ve more or less recovered after
such a long rest. Since Mr. Hadley needs me and I just feel restless not doing anything, I decided to go
back to work today. Anyway, Mr. Hadley is bogged down in a meeting, so he sent me to pick you up.”
Christina remarked in embarrassment, “Have you been waiting for a long time? It’s cold outside. You
could’ve given me a call. What if I were to only go home at night? Wouldn’t you have to wait for half a
day? It would be such a waste of your time.”
Sebastian reassured her, “I just arrived, and the car has its heater on, so it’s not cold at all. To be
honest, since it’s my first day back, there’s nothing much for me to do. Rest assured that you’re not
taking up any of my time.”
He then opened the backseat door for Christina. “This way please.”
“Remember to call me directly the next time Nathaniel sends you to pick me up,” Christina reminded
him after getting into the car.
Sebastian nodded in acknowledgment. “All right. I’ll do that.”
Upon closing the door, Sebastian put the lunch box on the front passenger seat before driving off.
“Mr. Taggart, I’m not going back to Scenic Garden Manor yet. Send me to the office, as I want to bring
Nathaniel lunch. After that, I’ll be heading to the studio for a while,” Christina instructed.
“Understood.” Sebastian spun the car around and drove toward Hadley Corporation.
Upon arriving at the office, Sebastian followed behind Christina with the lunch box in hand.
Just as they emerged from the elevator, they ran into Nathaniel coming out of the conference room with
a pot–bellied, middle–aged man.
After raising his head to throw Christina a glance, Nathaniel had a quick word with the man before
getting the assistant to walk him out.
He then approached Christina. “Why didn’t you tell me you were coming? I would have waited for you
downstairs.”
Christina replied, “You already sent Sebastian to pick me up. Besides, you’re busy. You shouldn’t waste
time on something like that. I might not come here often, but I still remember how to get to the CEO’s
office.”
Nathaniel reached out to hold her hand. “Let’s talk in the office. Coincidentally, there’s something I want
to ask you.”
