A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 697

Chapter 697 Dreaming Of Changing Dads

The fact that Nathaniel had been called the Grim Reaper wasn’t without any basis.

Anyone he targeted would never be able to escape his grasp.

“I’m not sad, Nathaniel. I just feel that it’s a shame.” Christina stared at him. “I had assumed that my plan was perfect. Given how evil Anya is, I can’t believe that there’s someone out there willing to protect her still.”

Anya was no longer the glamorous daughter of the Gibson family. In fact, she had nothing left and was reduced to living in poverty and disgrace.

Consequently, Christina couldn’t, for the life of her, figure out what the mysterious person saw in Anya.

“The truth will definitely be revealed one day. Everything will make sense once we find out who her mysterious benefactor is.” Nathaniel tried to come up with a solution for the dilemma she was in, “You can monitor those who interacted with Anya before. There’s a good chance that one of them is her protector.”

A person popped into Christina’s mind immediately. “Could Vladimir have interfered behind the scenes?”

Nathaniel rejected the idea, “It can’t be him, as my men are monitoring the Specker family. Vladimir knows very well what’s at stake and values the reputation of the Specker family more than his own life. On top of that, he’s a man of virtue. Since he declared that he would stay out of the Gibson family’s conflicts, he would definitely not cross the line.”

The only other suspect Christina could think of was Yerek.

Hence, she asked hesitantly, “Can it be Yerek?”

After giving the matter some thought, Nathaniel gave an ambiguous reply. “Anything can be possible.”

Before Christina had the chance to question further, Nathaniel elaborated, “Yerek has been desperately looking for investors recently, but the results were dismal. He plans to sell the company Nigel left him to raise cash. Therefore, he has met with some foreign investors at an overseas conference and is seemingly close to them. Perhaps he is preparing to start a company with them overseas.”

Expanding his business overseas was undoubtedly the best path for Yerek to take.

After all, it was close to impossible for him to clean up the mess Nigel had left him.

“Let’s not talk about such topics anymore.” Christina changed the subject. “The studio’s renovations have almost been completed. I feel like going to check out the place tomorrow.”

“Remember to take Lyle with you.” Nathaniel knew what she was up to, yet he wasn’t going to stop her as long as she didn’t cross his threshold.

“Got it,” Christina replied in delight.

In the evening, Christina and Nathaniel had dinner at the Hadley residence. Lucas and Camila clung to Christina and refused to leave her despite it being their bedtime.

After ending his chat with Charlie, Nathaniel returned to his bedroom from the study. The sight of Lucas

and Camila hugging their respective pillow and doll on his side of the bed caused his face to darken.

“Go sleep in your own room.” Grabbing the children with one hand each, he reprimanded them, “Both of you are too noisy and will prevent Mommy from getting a good rest. Now that she’s carrying a baby, she needs a place that’s absolutely quiet.”

The children struggled desperately with their limbs flailing in the air. Giving up upon realizing the futility of their efforts, they declared in unison, “Mommy promised us that she would sleep with us tonight, so you’ll have to sleep in the guest room, Daddy.”

Me? Sleep in the guest room? No way!

Ignoring the children’s vehement protest, Nathaniel carried them back to their room without breaking a

sweat.

“Both of you, stay here and behave,” Nathaniel ordered sternly before turning to leave.

With that, the children obeyed and remained in their room, staring blankly at each other.
