The Brutal Truth
Looking at the backs of the three individuals, Nathaniel felt a deep sense of loss.
He wondered when they would ever fully accept him.
Christina took the kids upstairs. After taking a bath, the two of them sat on the bed wearing adorable
cartoon pajamas.
“Why are you so well-behaved today?” Christina asked. Lucas was usually an energetic child. She
rarely saw him in such a dispirited state, like a sunflower without sunlight.
Lucas lifted his crystal-clear eyes. He seemed to be waiting for Christina to realize his unusual
behavior. “Mommy, you mustn’t lie to me.”
He didn’t believe in Nathaniel, but he trusted Christina a lot.
Christina was completely clueless about the kids’ secret. As she absent-mindedly wiped the water
droplets off Camila’s hair with a towel, she replied casually, “Sure. Go ahead and ask.”
Lucas and Camila exchanged a glance. His gaze seemed to be saying. “Why don’t you ask?”
Camila shook her head. You ask.
Lucas bit his thin lips. He knew it was his responsibility as the elder brother at times like this, so he
asked solemnly. “Does Daddy have any other kids besides us?”
The kid’s innocent voice was soft, yet it struck Christina’s heart like a ringing bell.
Christina stopped what she was doing, wondering if Lucas knew something.
She endured the wrenching pain in her heart and asked, “Who told you that? Your daddy?”
Lucas shook his head. “No. We’re just curious.”
Christina gazed at their pure and innocent faces. Her slightly anxious face was reflected in their clear
eyes.
How heartbreaking it would be if the kids were to find out about that…
She really didn’t want such young kids to be burdened with the conflicts of the adult world.
In less than three seconds, Christina hid the pain within her heart. She raised her hand to pinch Lucas”
cheek and said jokingly, “Silly boy, what are you saying? Your daddy and I only have you two little
sweethearts.”
“Really?” Lucas and Camila exclaimed excitedly at the same time.
With her head held high, Christina smiled and said, “I never tell lies to little kids.”
“Yay! Mommy is the best!” After getting a positive answer from their mother, the two kids joyfully
jumped on the bed, just like two delighted little bunnies.
“Okay, it’s getting late. Time to sleep. Otherwise, we’ll be late for kindergarten tomorrow.” Christina
tightly embraced the two little figures, feeling the warmth emanating from their soft bodies as if it could
drive away the coldness in her heart.
“Well sleep right away Lucas and Camila obediently lay down on the bed. Christina pulled the blanket
over them, gently covering their little bodies. Her gaze was tender as she looked at their small faces,
and before she knew it, her vision became blurry.
She couldn’t bring herself to tell the kids the brutal truth. At that moment, she felt as if she was walking
a thorny path. Even she herself didn’t know how far she could go.
After coming out of the kids’ room, Christina took a deep breath and turned to walk toward her
bedroom.
The moment she glanced up, she immediately noticed the imposing figure of Nathaniel standing at the
doorway. He seemed to be waiting for her.
“Are the kids asleep?” he asked with concern.
“Yeah,” Christina said casually and stretched out her hand to open the door. Her figure was delicate
and slender, so she could gently avoid Nathaniel as she walked inside.
Seeing that she was avoiding him like the plague, Nathaniel felt his heart sink. He turned around and
walked in as well.
The air seemed to have frozen because of his formidable aura.
“Get out,” Christina said coldly.
Nathaniel gazed at her slender back. She appeared fragile and delicate yet displayed a greater
determination than anyone else.
Even though Christina was not willing to let him stay these past few days, she didn’t use such a hostile
tone to drive him away.
He could sense that something was off with her. “Christina, what’s wrong with you?
Christina snorted. How dare he ask me that? When did he learn to put on such an act?
“I don’t want to interfere with what you do outside, but once you step into Scenic Garden Manor and
acknowledge the kids, please take on the responsibilities of a father.”
Nathaniel’s expression turned gloomy. “It’s my first time as a father. Just tell me if there’s anything I
need to work on.”
Christina tightened her fists, and her eyebrows twitched slightly. “I don’t want to argue with you. Leave
and don’t disturb the children.”
It was late at night, so even the slightest sound of breathing was amplified. She worried that she would
be too worked up and wake up the two kids in the next room.
Time passed quietly. Christina grew impatient when she saw that Nathaniel did not move. “Get out.”
Once again, her icy-cold voice echoed in the room. The atmosphere in the room instantly became thick
with tension.
Despite sensing her frustration, Nathaniel remained rooted to his spot.
He wouldn’t leave as long as he could be in the same room with Christina. He wouldn’t let go if he
could. hug her, and he wouldn’t shift his gaze if he could look at her a little longer.
Christina suppressed the urge to push him out. She knew that even if she were to train in martial arts
for several more years, she wouldn’t be a match for Nathaniel in terms of strength.
In the end, her rationality prevailed. Since she could not chase him away, she just let him be.
She took off her coat, leaving only a plain white nightgown on her body. After that, she lifted the covers
and settled into bed.
Before she could even settle down, she felt movement beside her. By the time she realized it, her
hands and feet were already restrained by Nathaniel.
“Nathaniel!” Christina shouted. Don’t get ahead of yourself over and over again!
Nathaniel rested his handsome face on her slender shoulder. “I’ve had a long day at work. Let’s not talk
anymore. Be good and go to sleep.”
Christina felt suffocated.
Her rightful authority had been instantly snatched away by him.
However, this time, Christina didn’t spoil him. “There are so many rooms outside. Can’t you sleep
there? If not, you can go find your-” Before she could utter the word “Madison, Nathaniel sealed her
lips.
Christina’s indifference and anger had left Nathaniel feeling anxious, and she wouldn’t listen to
anything. he said. He decided to simply silence her.
The scorching breath poured relentlessly into Christina’s lungs. She felt as if her entire body had been
engulfed by that domineering aura.
The next day, the morning sun shone into the room.
Lucas and Camila energetically hopped off the bed. The housekeepers entered to help them get
dressed neatly before taking them downstairs for breakfast.
The butler reminded the housekeepers, “Remember to complete your tasks well. I’ll return in the
afternoon.”
He was carrying a red basket in his hand that contained incense, some wine bottles, blankets, and
fruits. After saying that, he prepared to leave.
Lucas was curious, so he approached Raymond and asked, “Mr. Patel, where are you going?”
“Are you going back home with the fruits?” Camila asked innocently.
Raymond explained cheerfully, “I’m not going home. I’m going to pray.”
The two kids seemed as if they had stumbled upon something intriguing. They held onto him and
wouldn’t let him go. “Going to pray? What does that mean?”
