Chapter 671 Sweet Consolation

Christina’s pregnancy seemed to be affecting her intellect, for she did not immediately realize his actions were

because of her.

Nathaniel had never let the emotions he had at work carry over into his private life. Moreover, he rarely ever spoke

about work when he was with Christina.

As Nathaniel gently stroked Christina’s pregnant belly, he muttered, “I think you’ve been a little cold to me lately.”

He sounded miserable, but Christina could hear that he was seeking consolation. A laugh escaped past her lips, and

she asked, “Oh my, are you asking me to reassure you?”

Nathaniel took the opportunity of her turning around to peck a kiss on the corner of her lips. Glee manifested in his

eyes at that.

Christina froze, but in the next second, she grabbed his chin and kissed him.

Nathaniel was surprised, having not expected Christina to be that enthusiastic. After pulling her into his arms, he

wrapped his arm around the back of her neck and deepened the kiss.

A long while later, he finally let go of her.

Christina’s breathing was a little shaky. “Do you still think that I’m being cold toward you?”

Nathaniel lay them both down on the sofa bed as bright desire kindled in his eyes.

“I think you can be a little more passionate with me…”

By the time Christina woke, it was noon.

As Nathaniel had spent quite a long while with Christina at Hallsbay, he had accumulated a mountain of work back

in the company. Thus, early in the morning, Sebastian had summoned him. After three extremely long meetings, he

finally had the chance to call Christina during his lunch break.

Christina was in the middle of having her nutritious meal when she received his call. As she talked to him, she took

out the carrots from her soup.

“Don’t be a picky eater, Christina,” came Nathaniel’s magnetic voice, sending a pleasant shiver down her spine.

She lied, “I’m not.”

Then, as the nutritionist watched on with relief, Christina put the carrot she had taken out earlier into her mouth

and scrunched her face in disgust.

“I saw the menu for today, and there are ingredients you don’t like in it.”

Nathaniel knew all of Christina’s likes and dislikes. In the past, he would ask the chef to cook food that Christina

preferred, but now, Christina was pregnant, and she needed a balanced diet.

A pregnant woman was prone to inood changes, so Nathaniel did his best to watch out for those and calm

her.

She muttered under her breath, “You know that I don’t like it, but you’re still making me eat it.”

“You and the baby need the nutrition. It’s the doctor’s orders,” Nathaniel said, having caught her whispered words.

“Be good, Christina. Once the baby is born, I won’t force you to do things you don’t like anymore.”

Christina knew that he was only doing it for her sake. Okay, I got it. I’ll eat everything, and you need to eat on time

too. Don’t forgo your meals for your work”

“Of course,” Nathaniel replied, his eyes glued to the screen as he read his work emails. When he saw Sebastian

mouthing to him that it was time for his video conference, he said, “Christina, I have something else to attend to

now, so I’m going to end the call.”

When the call ended, Christina asked the kitchen staff to make a set of lunch. When she was done with her own

meal, she changed into a dress and took the packed lunch, ready to head to Hadley Corporation.

Lyle was the driver, and he was in charge of taking Christina around.

“We’re going to take the long route to get rid of the car tailing us,” Lyle informed. When they left Scenic Garden

Manor, both Christina and Lyle realized that there was another car following them.

However, the car had kept a distance from them and had done nothing to harm them yet.

Lyle deliberately took the long way at the most traffic–congested and busy area downtown, and soon, he lost the

tail.

Christina asked Lyle to drive into the underground parking lot in the building beside Hadley Corporation. When he

stopped the car, she got off with the packed lunch.

“Keep driving around outside and try to get a chance to find out who they are.”

“Of course. Please stay safe, Mrs. Hadley.”

Although Hadley Corporation was right beside the building they were in, Lyle was still worried about leaving her to

cover the distance alone. He was afraid that the other party would be tailing her on foot too.

Noticing his worry, she reassured him by saying, “There’s a walkway between this building and Hadley Corporation,

and it’s quite crowded. There are security guards there too. You should be careful as well. Call me if anything

happens.”

After reminding Lyle about a few more things, she turned and left.

Christina’s journey to the CEO’s office was smooth and uneventful.

Although it was lunch break, the secretarial department was still busy as ever. Christina was like the rain in a

drought. When they saw her, they quickly paused their work and turned to look at her in anticipation.

Christina knew what they wanted, and she slightly inclined her head at them before knocking on the CFO’s office

door.

Sebastian had a dark look on his face when he opened the door, for he thought it was one of the employees who

had foolishly picked the wrong time to disturb Nathaniel while Nathaniel was in the middle of berating one of the

managers.

When he realized it was actually Christina, he froze and swiftly changed his demeanor.

“Mrs. Hadley, why are you here?” Sebastian asked as he stepped out of the office. “Mr. Hadley is currently having a

meeting with the executives. There are some issues with the project, and I’m afraid it isn’t convenient to meet with

Mr. Hadley now.”

Nathaniel was as frightening as the devil that day. Not only did he chide every one of the executives in the

company, but he even rejected all of the proposals that the project and planning department had sent to him. All

the employees who had made major mistakes were fired, too.

Everyone in the company was terrified of him as they put more effort into their work, fearing that they would lose

their jobs.

Christina waved her packed lunch and said, “I’m here to bring lunch for Nathaniel and talk to him about something.

Since he’s busy, I’ll wait for him at the lounge.”

Sebastian would never dare to let Christina wait for Nathaniel in the lounge without Nathaniel’s permission, so he

said, “Please wait for me a second, Mrs. Hadley. Let me inform Mr. Hadley about your arrival. I’m sure the meeting

is about to end.”

With that said. Sebastian turned and re–entered the room.

Nathaniel was in the middle of interrogating the executives about the last quarter’s report, but no one could give

him a clear answer. If looks could kill, Nathaniel would have ended their lives.

Sebastian’s arrival brought a wave of relief to the executives as they cast pleading looks at the man.

you.

Sebastian steeled himself and whispered, “Mr. Hadley, Mrs. Hadley has brought lunch for She’s standing outside of

the office right now.“”

Immediately, Nathaniel closed the folder with a loud smack. The anger in his eyes retreated, giving way to delight.

“Let her come in,” he said before turning to shoot a grim look at the executives. “I want to see a quarterly report I’ll

be satisfied with when it’s time for the afternoon meeting.”

At that, the executives hastily nodded and rushed out of the room.

Sebastian then led Christina into the office. When he finally closed the door behind him, he let out a sigh of relief.

Upon turning around, he saw the secretaries craning their necks and looking in his direction. They were like birds in

a cage, craving freedom.

“Please don’t disturb Mr. and Mrs. Hadley before the end of lunch break.”

His announcement took away the heavy weight of worry on their chests, and they swiftly made themselves scarce

for a rare lunch outside.

Unlike them, Sebastian did not have it that easy. While the others were on a break, he had to return to his position

to work.

Right then, his phone began ringing. It was Victoria.

Immediately after Sebastian answered the call, Victoria’s sinister voice traveled out of the speakers.

“Sebastian Taggart, you stood me up again! Just you wait! I’m going to come after you right now!”
