A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 738

Chapter 738 Guidance

As the group entered the mansion, the butler and housekeepers helped unload gifts from the trunk of the

car.

Once inside the living room, Lucas and Camila sat closely next to Christina, sneakily sizing up Timothy and behaving less lively than usual.

Timothy smiled gently and instructed the housekeeper to serve the beverages and snacks he had prepared in advance, all of which were Christina’s and the kids’ favorites.

“Have a taste. If you like the food, I can have the kitchen prepare them for you the next time you come

over.”

Lucas and Camila stared longingly at the exquisite snacks on the table, but they didn’t dare to reach out for them, fearing that Timothy might scold them.

Noticing the unease between Timothy and the children, she swiftly stepped in to smooth things over. “Nathaniel is swamped with work and couldn’t spare the time to visit. During our vacation abroad recently. Lucas and Camila picked out a present for you.”

She patted her kids’ heads and said, “Go get the gift and show it to your granddad.”

Timothy couldn’t contain his joy as an exuberant smile spread across his face. “You should enjoy yourselves while on holiday instead of worrying about an old man like me.”

“After your health improves, we can all go together next time,” Christina chirped.

Lucas and Camila rarely ever refused Christina’s requests. They found the gift for Timothy from the pile of presents, and Lucas was tasked with the responsibility of handing it to Timothy. The boy uttered meekly, “Granddad, this is your present. Open it and see if you like it.”

“Of course, I like it. I love anything that you two gift me,” Timothy responded with a delighted grin, happily stretching out his hand to receive the present. He unfastened the ribbon outside the box, opened” it, and saw the set of emerald tea set.

Its exquisiteness was comparable to a valuable collectible.

Timothy was in haste when he moved to Jadeborough. As a result, he left the tea set collection he had spent most of his life garnering in Hallsbay. His poor health also made it impossible for him to retrieve those items for the time being.

Initially, Christina planned to gift Timothy a string of prayer beads, but Lucas and Camila mentioned that he liked tea sets, so she let them pick one.

“Excellent!” Timothy carefully wrapped up the tea set, called over his butler, and reminded sternly, “Take this tea set to my study. Be extra careful, and don’t break it.”

The butler cautiously carried the tea set away.

With the act of gift-giving serving as an icebreaker, the relationship between Timothy and the two children noticeably warmed. They no longer resisted getting close to him, even starting to answer his questions and sharing their daily fun anecdotes.

The four of them had a rather enjoyable meal together. Afterward, Lucas and Camila played in the courtyard while Christina chatted with Timothy on the balcony.

“Christina, I heard your studio was set on fire. Have they caught the arsonist?” Timothy asked concernedly.

“The problem has been resolved. You don’t have to worry,” Christina replied with a smile. “Has anyone from the Gibson family been disturbing your peace recently?”

Although the Gibson family had fallen apart, some branches of the family remained intact.

Some time ago, members of one of the Gibson family’s branches somehow learned about Timothy’s whereabouts and came to Jadeborough to stir a ruckus.
