Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 455

Christina smiled awkwardly. I didn’t forget, but it was never my plan to contact him, okay?

After formulating her response, she explained, “Daddy needs to work, so he can’t go with us!”

The children crossed their arms and stared at her in unison with suspicion.

Camila pouted. “You never planned to bring Daddy along at all!”

“You shouldn’t lie to kids, Mommy!” added Lucas.

Christina’s acting was clumsier when she was in front of her children. “Of course not. It’s not like we’re staying there for a long time. It’s just a vacation.”

Her reasoning convinced the children.

They nodded, despite not fully understanding the situation. “We’ll return after summer vacation is over?”

“Of course! When did I ever lie to you before?” Christina gently patted their heads.

Before the kids replied, she carried them into their room. “Rest well, okay? We’ll take the plane there tomorrow!”

Camila and Lucas nodded obediently. “Goodnight, Mommy!”

“Goodnight.” Christina kissed their foreheads before leaving the room.

After closing the door, she continued to pack her things, though there wasn’t much for her to pack.

Once she was done busying about, she plopped down on the couch and quietly scanned the renovations in the condominium. Even though Nathaniel isn’t here, I can still see traces of him everywhere.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel hadn’t slept well for the past two days because his insomnia had returned. After he swallowed a sleeping pill, he slumbered.

The phone on his bedside table vibrated for a moment as it had just received a new message from Camila: We’re leaving you forever, Daddy.

The next morning, sunlight landed on Christina, waking her up. She didn’t realize she had fallen asleep on the couch.

After she got up, she prepared a simple breakfast, changed into a pink dress, and tied up her hair, making her fair countenance seem even cuter.

After the three of them finished breakfast, Christina pulled out her luggage. “Let’s head off now!”

Just as she arrived at the entrance and opened the door, she saw a towering figure blocking her path.

Christina lifted her eyes and saw Nathaniel’s terrifyingly intense scowl. Her blood froze instantly, and she was rooted to the spot.

“Why are you here?” she asked, shocked.

Promptly, Nathaniel showed her the message Camila had sent him. “Are you trying to hurt the kids?”

After Christina read the text message, her eyelids twitched. I didn’t expect the kids to snitch on me!

Suppressing her rage, she asked, “Why did you send that message, Camila?”

Camila stuck her tongue out and explained seriously, “Aren’t we spending the summer vacation at Hallsbay, Mommy? Summer vacation lasts for a long–time, and my teacher said ‘a long time‘ can be expressed as ‘forever‘”

The girl’s words rendered Christina speechless.

Nathaniel stepped into the room and lifted the children. “How about you two buy presents with my assistant at the mall, hmm?”

Does she think I’ll believe such a cr*ppy lie? Upon lifting his hand, Nathaniel gripped her chin. Like a bloodthirsty beast, he peered at her as though she was prey he would swallow whole. “Do you think you can hide the truth from me, Christina? You’re eager to divorce me, so you can return to the Gibson family. Am I right?”

Christina hated that sense of restraint and knitted her eyebrows. “Release me. I always am a member of the Gibson family. Besides, why should I ask for your permission to go anywhere I want?” I’m not an object on display that will take in any comments from the public!
