Chapter 698 From The Beginning
“Christina, stop getting carried away!” Even though Nathaniel’s eyes darkened, the affection in his tone was unmistakable.
With her arms wrapped around his neck, she lifted herself off her heels to give his lips a gentle peck. She then suggested softly, “Since you don’t like that, why don’t I compensate you like this? What do you think?”
When Nathaniel held her waist and leaned in to whisper something in her ear, Christina shot him a glare but surprisingly didn’t say no.
The next morning, Christina was unable to fulfill her promise of sending the children to school. D
Nonetheless, both of them didn’t kick up a fuss as they sat inside the car together with Nathaniel, who was taking them instead.
Since the children hadn’t seen Sebastian in a while, they cozied up to him and played by his side, raising a ruckus for the rest of the journey. D
“Mr. Taggart, at your wedding with Ms. Lesley, Lucas and I will be your flower children, all right?” Camila stared at him with her eyes widened in anticipation.
How did the children know that Victoria and I are in a relationship?
Sebastian reacted with bewilderment. He was certain that neither Nathaniel nor Christina had told the children, for they never stuck their noses in the business of others.
Moreover, until he and Victoria made their relationship public, the lesser people knew the better.
“Who told you that Ms. Lesley and I are getting married?” Sebastian threw the question back at them.
Lucas replied matter–of–factly, “Mr. Taggart, Camila and I saw both of you kissing at the restaurant.”
The words caused Nathaniel to look up and throw Sebastian a glance. (D
The latter immediately realized what happened. That was the first time they officially went on a date after his proposal on the ship.
Back then, Sebastian had handpicked the restaurant and reserved the entire place. It was his idea of a romantic date to make up for what happened.
The room was really private, so how did the children manage to see Victoria and me kissing?
Sebastian was brimming with curiosity. “Mr. Lucas, Ms. Camila, can you tell me how you found out? I’ll give you a treat if you do.”
Lucas, whose character took after Nathaniel, wasn’t easy to be manipulated. However, the same couldn’t be said for Camila. Even though she couldn’t be bribed with money, she would easily succumb to the temptation of food.
Contrary to Sebastian’s expectations, Lucas and Camila replied in unison, “It’s a secret, Mr. Taggart. We can’t tell you.”
At that moment, the driver informed abruptly, “Mr. Hadley, we’ve arrived at the school.”
Forced to leave the topic at that, Sebastian opened the door for the children to alight.
Upon returning from walking the children into the school, Nathaniel asked, “Are you and Victoria really getting married?”
Sebastian showed no hesitation at all. “Mm–hmm. She is the one for me. Even if we can’t be together in the end, I’ll never be able to settle for someone else.”
Victoria was the only person in his heart. There was just no space for anyone else.
“If you ever encounter a problem that’s too much for you, you can always come to me,” Nathaniel offered in an indifferent tone before returning to his emails.
Briefly stunned, Sebastian broke into a respectful smile. “Okay. I understand.”
