Chapter 598 Do Something Meaningful
The trio took their seats simultaneously. Christina sat beside Nathaniel, feeling nervous as she did not know what Charlie wanted to talk about.
To Julia and Charlie, Christina had already severed ties with the Gibsons and no longer had anything to do with them.
Christina did not want Nathaniel’s parents to know that the Gibsons had contacted her again. After all, the Gibsons only had two motives for doing so-vengeance and money.
Charlie began solemnly, “I’ve been following the news on the internet for the past two days. Don’t feel pressured, Christina. We believe you have nothing to do with the Gibson family’s predicament. However, they’re still your family, so go ahead and deal with those matters. Don’t shoulder everything on your own. Have Nathaniel help you. If he wouldn’t, come to me for assistance.”
Nathaniel wrapped an arm around Christina’s waist before his father and declared domineeringly, “Christina is my wife. Of course I will protect and support her.”
Charlie glared at his son before mercilessly exposing him.
“You used to be a workaholic. Your mother and I thought you would be married to your work if you didn’t marry Christina and have a child.”
“Like you said, that was before. I’ve made a great effort to change to become a worthy husband and father.”
Noticing that the father-and-son duo were about to start arguing. Christina hastily stepped forward to diffuse the situation.
“Nathaniel treats me well, Dad. He even puts work aside to care for me. 1, on the other hand, am to blame for causing him trouble.”
Nathaniel tightened his grip around her waist. “I don’t think of it as trouble, Christina. It makes me happy that you trust me and rely on me.”
His sweet and affectionate words made her heart melt. Blushing all the way to the tips of her ears, she did not dare look up to meet Charlie’s gaze.
Can’t Nathaniel read the room before saying sweet nothings?
Charlie similed in contentment as he witnessed the young couple’s loving interaction. “Your mother and 1 are glad to see how happy the both of you are.”
When they saw the news, Charlie and Julia were worried that the Gibson family would cause trouble and drive a wedge between Nathaniel and Christina.
Knowing how much Nathaniel cared about Christina, they had no doubt that Nathaniel would lose his mind if they were to be forced apart.
Thus, the two elders racked their brains and finally scheduled a time to invite Nathaniel and Christina over for dinner so they could sound the young couple out.
Christina understood Charlie and Julia’s efforts at once. “I’m sorry for letting you two worry about us,” she said, touched by how much the duo cared about them.
Charlie smiled kindly. “We’re family. Of course we look out for one another. You don’t have to be so formal with us, Christina.”
Returning the smile, Christina nodded.
“You two make yourselves at home. I’ll check to see if dinner is ready.” Charlie rose and headed to the kitchen to give the young couple some alone time.
Nathaniel kissed Christina’s scorching ear and earned himself an irate glare from her.
“What are you doing? We’re in your parents’ house. It wouldn’t look good if they saw us acting all lovey- dovey.”
“There’s nothing wrong with me kissing my wife. They don’t have to look at us if it makes them uncomfortable.” Nathaniel leaned in close to Christina’s ear and spoke in a volume that only they can hear. “If I understand you correctly, I can’t kiss you while we’re out, but I can do whatever I want to you at home, right?”
Christina tried to push him away and stand up, but he kept his arms firmly wrapped around her waist, locking her in his embrace.
