After work, the two of them returned to Scenic Garden Manor
Lucas and Camila ran up to them “Mommy, are you done renovating the new home?”
“It’s done I can take you to see it during the weekend Christina stroked their heads.
When Nathaniel saw how Lucas and Camila were trying to climb onto Christina like little kangaroos, he bent down and carried them “That condominium is so small. It’s not even as big as the lawn in front of our house. There’s nothing fun about it”
“Mommy bought a bunk bed! I want to go!”
Camila’s eyes crinkled when she smiled. She looked so adorable that others would buy anything she wanted without hesitation.
“We’ll go together during the weekend,” Christina promised.
Christina sent her kids to the kindergarten early in the morning.
“Monimy, I have a ballet performance at five in the afternoon. You must come on time to watch me. okay?” Camila blinked expectantly.
Christina kissed her little forehead. “Okay, my little princess. I promise.”
“See you in the afternoon.”
Holding her brother’s hand, Camila entered the kindergarten happily.
After breakfast, Camila was summoned to the dance studio by her ballet teacher.
The woman gazed at her with a gentle look. “Camila, you are going to perform with me later. Have you remembered the dance moves?”
Camila smiled faintly, revealing her cute dimples. “I’ve remembered them all, Ms. Taggart.”
The sunlight poured into the spacious office while Christina sat at her desk and sketched some design drafts.
As she had a habit of getting lost in her work, she set an alarm in advance to remind herself to pick up the kids from kindergarten before five.
When lunchtime approached, someone pushed the office door open.
“Aren’t you going for lunch?” Nathaniel’s charismatic voice sounded above her head.
Christina was so focused on her work that she did not even look up. Sounding as languid as a cat bathing in the warm sun, she said, “I’m going to watch Camila’s performance in the afternoon, so I need to quickly finish today’s work first.”
“You still need to eat regardless of how busy you are.”
Nathaniel reached out and took the tablet in front of her.
Like a cat whose food had been stolen away, Christina whined and stood up from her seat.
She grabbed the tablet back and saved the document before putting it down
“Let’s have lunch in my office.”
A satisfied smile appeared on Nathaniel’s face as he held her hand and walked out.
When they reached the office, Christina barely had time to react before she was pinned against the wall. A passionate kiss then greeted her.
Hugging her slender waist with one hand, Nathaniel slipped his other hand into his pocket, which contained a small velvet bag with a diamond ring.
It was the ring he had specially bought after Christina left.
At the time, he had bought it with the thought of putting the ring on her finger after finding her to tie her to him so that she could never leave him again.
Arching her head, Christina met his kiss. Suddenly, she felt him grip her wrist and restrain it. A cool sensation then descended upon her fingertip.
When she lowered her head, she spotted a ring on her finger.
The five-carat diamond ring shone dazzlingly underneath the light.
“I wanted to buy a bigger one. However, since I was afraid it would inconvenience you during work, I chose a more casual style.”
Nathaniel stretched out his hand, revealing that he was also wearing a matching wedding ring on his ring finger.
Taking off the ring without any hesitation, Christina complained softly, “I don’t want to wear a ring. Besides, how is a five-carat diamond ring casual?”
He just wanted everyone to know that she was a married woman.
