Chapter 703 Love Crisis
Although Preston had received the news long ago, he didn’t confront Sebastian right away as he was wary of Nathaniel.
Sebastian was widely known as a prominent figure around Nathaniel, but few people knew that their relationship was more than that of a superior and a subordinate.
If Preston were to take action against Sebastian, Nathaniel would definitely not stand by idly.
“No need. Perhaps this is a good thing.” Nathaniel pondered for a moment. “Inform the Public Relations Department to pay attention to public opinion on the Internet. Tell them to control the comments when necessary.”
After ending the call, Nathaniel went to the kitchen and personally prepared a burrito. Then, he brought it upstairs.
When Christina heard his familiar footsteps coming from outside the door, she quickly put down her phone, lifted the blanket, and lay down. She then pretended to be asleep, facing away from the door.
Nathaniel pushed open the door and walked in. After placing the tray on the bedside table; he reached out to pull the blanket covering Christina’s head down. He whispered, “Are you still angry?”
Christina ignored him.
Nathaniel wasn’t bothered by that. “I had Lyle transferred back from the training camp. You’ll be able to see him tomorrow morning. I didn’t punish him?”
Christina opened her eyes. She was hesitating whether to get up or not when Nathaniel’s alluring voice suddenly reached her ears.
“I made your favorite burrito. Will you forgive me after eating it?”
Christina felt a tingling sensation in her ear. She quickly climbed out of bed while nervously clenching her fingers.
“I’m not angry.”
“Okay, you’re not angry. I didn’t consider your feelings fully before I made that decision.”
Christina glanced at his handsome and pleasing face and realized she couldn’t stay mad at him. In the end, she gave up arguing.
“Well, I admit that I was a little angry when I found out you had sent Lyle away. His situation reminded me of my past self. It was not his fault, yet he had to bear the consequences of others‘ actions.”
Nathaniel was afraid that Christina would bring up the past, especially since their initial encounter wasn’t pleasant.
“I’m sorry, I’ll be more mindful in the future.” Nathaniel handed the burrito to her. “Hurry up and eat while it’s still hot. I have something to discuss with you later.”
Since Christina didn’t eat much for dinner, her stomach had long been growling after sulking for a few hours. Nevertheless, the thought of going downstairs and bumping into Nathaniel didn’t appeal to her, so she took out the bread and snacks she had bought previously and filled her stomach with those.
Christina noticed that she had become more temperamental during her pregnancy. She was no longer able to control her emotions and thoughts like before.
At the thought of that, Christina became visibly upset. Nathaniel noticed her change and asked, “What’s wrong? Is the burrito not tasty? I can make another one for you.”
He started to get up, but Christina quickly pulled him back. “No, the burrito is delicious.” After hesitating for a moment, she asked, “Nathaniel, am I difficult to please? I think my temper has been getting unpredictable.”
“I’ve never thought that way,” Nathaniel reassured her gently. “You’re starting to rely on me and show me your truest self without holding back. I’m lucky to be able to experience this.”
“Oh.” Christina’s tone couldn’t help but lighten as her ears flushed an unusual shade of red. After quickly finishing the burrito, she asked, “You mentioned earlier that you wanted to discuss something with me. Can you tell me now?”
Intuition told Christina that it wasn’t about a simple matter.
“Sebastian and Victoria’s relationship has been exposed. Given the Lesley family’s attitude, they won’t approve of Sebastian,” Nathaniel said frankly. “This is the opportunity Preston has been waiting for. I believe Sebastian is capable of handling this matter well, but what Victoria does is more important.”
“Victoria is stronger than we think. If she has chosen someone, she won’t easily give up. She and Sebastian will definitely have a happy ending,” Christina said calmly.
