Madison examined Christina’s wrist and commented, “It’s a nice watch, but it seems more fitting for higher–ups in the company. Considering how often you work with scissors and fabrics, I don’t think it would be very practical for you to wear such a bulky watch.”
Christina pretended to nod in agreement. “You’re right. It’s fine, though. I can remove it when I work. This is my first couple’s watch with Nathaniel.”
Madison found her sweet and gorgeous smile to be rather annoying.
She was so angry that she couldn’t find any words to say.
Christina knew she had achieved her goal as she observed Madison’s contorted expression. It brought her a small sense of comfort.
This was nothing compared to what Madison had done to her previously.
Nathaniel strode over to hold her hand. “The amusement park is going to close if we stay here any longer.”
“Oh, let’s go now!” Christina replied sweetly.
Madison’s gaze lingered on the departing couple. Their backs disappeared into the distance as they engaged in cheerful conversation. The sight of their backs only added to her misery.
The amusement park was aglow with dazzling lights, and cheerful music filled the air.
Christina gleefully rode all the amusement park attractions with Nathaniel, feeling as carefree as a child.
In the end, they rode on the Ferris Wheel.
As their cabin ascended slowly, Christina gazed at the buildings growing smaller beneath them and sighed. “When I was younger, I used to envy Emilia. Miranda often took her to the amusement park to have fun, but they never took me with them.”
Her voice was melodious and clear.
Nathaniel looked at her slender figure silently. Her mother fell severely ill when she was young, and her father never showered her with love. She must’ve suffered a lot.
Gently, he cupped her cheeks as though she was a valuable jewel. “You don’t have to envy anyone. From now on, I’ll give you the whole world.”
Christina burst into giggles upon hearing his words. She playfully narrowed her eyes and hooked her little finger with his. “Remember what you said. Don’t you dare lie to me.”
She appeared immensely satisfied, like a child whose deepest wish had been granted.
Nathaniel leaned in and gently pressed a kiss against her cheek, trailing his lips to her nose, and finally meeting her mouth in a tender embrace.
A sweet scent spread in the air, surrounding them both.
As their cabin reached the peak of the Ferris Wheel, a spectacular display of fireworks burst into the night sky, casting a radiant glow over the couple locked in each other’s arms.
Back in the luxury condominium, Madison was downing alcohol in an attempt to soothe her fury.
As she drank, the image of Nathaniel and Christina became clearer in her mind.
She pulled out her phone to call Francis. “It has been ages. Why have you not taken action yet?”
Francis was in the middle of shooting a drama and happened to be on a break. He reclined on a bench. with his gaze fixed upon the night sky, deep in contemplation. It reminded him of the night he had spent with Christina as they waited for the sun to rise.
He might have had a few chances to sow discord between them but ended up doing nothing at all.
“We have the photos, so calm down. I’ll take action when the time’s right,” he replied calmly.
Christina snorted icily. “Don’t tell me you’re showing mercy because you can’t bring yourself to hurt that brat’s feelings.”
If Francis refuses to take action, I’ll have to step up.
Francis‘ voice grew cold. “Of course not. To me, profits and survival come first.”
Having faced hardships from a young age, Francis had learned to employ unethical methods to survive, and this experience served him well in the ruthless entertainment industry.
A mere woman won’t affect my judgment.
The Steele family provided Emilia with the best of everything. She had the opportunity to attend ballet classes and music classes. She only wears the most beautiful clothes. It’s surprising to see her working here as an adult. Miranda did an excellent job raising her daughter, didn’t she?
