Chapter 370 Mysterious Message
A Crazy Night Novel
The edges of Nathanielâs lips curved upward as he kissed her hair. âYouâre jealous.â
Christina remained silent as he continued to hug her. Iâm not jealous. I just think Madisonâs a cunning woman. She was willing to leak important company secrets to keep Nathaniel around. Who knows what other crazy thing shell do next!
âHave you hugged me enough? Iâm heading downstairs.â Upon removing his arms from her waist, she left. the study.
Displeased, Nathaniel watched her cold, stubborn figure leave.
The couple scarcely interacted in the following days.
Christina would appear gentle when the children were around, but she would keep herself busy if Nathaniel didnât talk to her.
Soon, the weekend arrived in a blink of an eye.
Julia showed up at Scenic Garden Manor so she could bring the children to the Hadley residence to play there.
-When the kids heard play time was waiting for them, they delightfully went upstairs to pack their clothes.
âYou should sit first, Mom. Iâll help the children pack their clothes.â Christina followed behind Lucas and Camila.
Meanwhile, Julia turned to her son. âHow are you and Christina recently?â
âNothing out of the ordinary,â replied Nathaniel casually while he read an email on his tablet.
The edges of Juliaâs lips curved upward. She quickly noticed the couple had relationship issues because she had been through that before.
Moments later, the children returned downstairs with a backpack full of their daily necessities.
Like adorable rabbits, they hopped toward Julia. âWeâre ready, Grandma!â
âAll right, my darlings.â She beamed.
After she asked Raymond to bring the kids out, she delivered two invitations to her son. âA friend opened an amusement park recently, and they sent me these invitations. Your father and I arenât interested, so you can have these. If you have the time, you should bring Christina there to check it out.â
Nathaniel accepted the invitations. âThank you, Mom.â
Christina blushed slightly, knowing Julia was trying to improve her relationship with Nathaniel.
âYou two have fun, okay?â Upon patting the back of Christinaâs hand, Julia returned to the Hadley residence with the children.
Nathaniel glanced at the time on the invitation. âIt opens tomorrow at ten. Do you have the time for it?â
âI do.â Christina didnât want to waste Juliaâs effort.
Upon ending her sentence, she returned upstairs.
The next day, at ten in the morning. Christina put on a white dress with flower prints. The sunlight was intense, so she wore additional thin, sun-protective clothing over her short-sleeved dress.
She braided her hair, though a few strands remained at the side of her face. Under the sunlight, she seemed exceptionally gentle.
After descending the stairs, she saw Nathaniel in a suit, His expression was cold and somber.
âYouâre not wearing that to an amusement park, are you?â Christina arched her eyebrow.
âIs there a problem?â That was how he was usually dressed.
âIf you think itâs fine, then itâs fine.â
Without further delay, they headed to their destination in a car.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the amusement park entrance.
Nathaniel frowned after exiting the car because he saw a sea of people.
âHow lively! It must be fun inside.â Christinaâs eyes glinted. Itâs been a long time since I have a vacation. âLetâs head inside, then.â
Nathaniel resisted the urge to leave immediately and stood in line behind her. Christina felt her cheeks burning after standing under the scorching sunlight for a while.
There were plenty of umbrella chairs at the side of the entrance that came with large fans. Hence, many people sat there.
âYou should rest at that spot. Iâll stay here. You can join me when weâre about to enter.â Nathaniel pushed Christina out of the line.
It feels weird to have the CEO of Hadley Corporation stand in line for me. âI think I should do it,â replied Christina.
âJust go.â As he spoke, he shoved the ticket into his pocket.
Hence, Christina sat in the nearest chair and gazed at the long line.
Everyone there wore casual outfits except for Nathaniel. His expensive suit made him stick out like a sore thumb. While the people in front and behind him waited nonchalantly, he stood straight, exuding a prideful vibe.
More than ten minutes later, it was finally Nathanielâs turn to enter.
Christina approached him before he gestured for her to join him. Once their tickets were scanned, the couple entered the amusement park.
The amusement park was brimming with a joyous and romantic atmosphere, further enhanced by lighthearted tunes.
Like a curious child, Christina scanned her surrounding. âWe should grab an information pamphlet so we donât get lost.â
Whatâs that Nathaniel followed her into a shop.
Upon seeing the free pamphlet on the counterâs shelf, Christina picked one up and flipped through it to see where to go first.
This is the first time Iâve seen Christina this attentive, aside from when sheâs working or taking care of the children. It looks like bringing her here is the correct choice. Meanwhile, Nathaniel noticed a pair of female tourists strolling into the shop and putting on cartoon hairbands. Interesting.
He swept his gaze past the colorful hairbands before spotting one with cat ears on it.
Meanwhile, Christina had finished planning their route. Weâll end the day by watching fireworks at the castle entrance at seven in the evening! Perfect!
Just as she lifted her head, she saw a hairband with cat ears atop her head in the mirror. âThis is...â
âIt looks great. You should keep it,â uttered Nathaniel before he ambled toward the cashier to pay for it.
The couple then exited the store and followed Christinaâs route.
She tried everything she laid her eyes on in the motorized zone while Nathaniel accompanied her.
However, he disliked partaking in exciting activities like those because heâd get dizzy. To prevent that, he asked Sebastian to buy a bottle of motion sickness drugs for him beforehand.
He didnât want to ruin the mood as it was rare for him to spend time with her outside.
After they tired themselves playing, they rested in a mushroom-shaped chair. Christina bought two bottles of water and handed one to him.
Subconsciously, Christina leaned on Nathanielâs shoulder. With a soft tone, she proposed, âIâm exhausted. Letâs rest for a bit before we head to the big stage over there. The pamphlet says thereâll be performances and even fireworks at the end.â
âOkay.â Nathaniel sipped while letting her rest on his body.
Once the tourists heard the announcement of the performance starting, they strode toward the big stage. Nathaniel held Christinaâs hand tightly as they traveled through the crowd, worried she might get lost.
Abruptly, Christina received a text message on her phone: If you want to know why your home was set ablaze four years ago, look for me behind the stage.
