The kids called Nathaniel their daddy. That means they have finally acknowledged him. Christina hesitated.
Right then, Camila pleaded in a cute tone, “Mommy, let Daddy sleep here tonight, okay? Otherwise, we’ll be worried about him…”
Christina couldn’t resist the kids’ cute voices and their teary eyes.
Hence, she held up a finger and uttered warily, “Fine. However, he can only sleep in the guest room.”
Nathaniel then grabbed her finger and responded, “Anything you say.”
At that moment, his eyes were filled with intense emotions. If the kids weren’t there, he would’ve made a move on Christina on the spot.
“In that case, you’ll be responsible for putting the kids to bed.” Christina didn’t want to be in the same room as him. “Sleep early, Camila, Lucas!”
“Yes, Mommy!” the kids agreed obediently.
Nathaniel was impressed by her ability to coax the kids. The little ones behave themselves well in front of
Christina.
As soon as Christina left the room, Camila and Lucas turned toward Nathaniel at once. “Daddy, you promised to bring us horseback riding during the weekend if we could convince Mommy. You must keep your word!”
The kids were very interested in horseback riding.
Nathaniel carried the kids to the bed and replied in a gentle tone, “Why would I lie to you? In fact, I’ve already made a call to reserve the venue. We’ll go there with your mommy this weekend, okay?”
Camila and Lucas gave each other a high-five and cheered, “You’re the best, Daddy!”
“All right. It’s time to sleep. I’ll read you guys a story.” Under the dim lights, Nathaniel sat by the bed, held a storybook in his hands, and read them a story in a coaxing tone.
While looking at Nathaniel’s handsome face from the side, the kids felt utterly blissful.
After she was done taking a shower, Christina put on a classic Victoria’s Secret pink nightgown with a silk belt in the middle, and her long hair fell like a waterfall down her back.
She then read her emails while sitting cross-legged on the couch. A while later, she felt tired, so she lay on the couch and cleared her mind with her eyes shut.
Just then, the room door was pushed open, and Nathaniel came through the door.
Christina didn’t know Nathaniel was standing right in front of her until he carried her up in his arms. Upon hearing his strong and loud heartbeat, she opened her eyes abruptly.
She saw his handsome face right away. His chin was slightly raised, and he was exhaling minty breaths.
“What are you doing?” Taken aback, Christina almost jumped in alarm.
Nathaniel maintained a calm and subdued expression. I’m just doing what I’ve always done. I would gently
carry
her to bed every time she fell asleep on the couch. However, she never looked at me this way.
“I’m carrying you to bed,” he replied.
Christina blushed immediately. While kicking her legs aggressively in mid-air, she protested, “Let me go! I don’t want you to carry me!”
Nathaniel ignored her and carried her to the side of the bed.
“Let me go!” Christina struggled even harder to free herself.
No one knew if Nathaniel had lost his balance or had naughty intentions, but they both ended up onto the bed.
“Why are you lying in my bed? Go away! Go away!” Christina kicked Nathaniel repeatedly.

Nathaniel was kicked in the shoulder, abdomen, and chest. Her feet are so small, but she’s so aggressive with her kicks!
