Chapter 415 Feedback
A Crazy Night Novel
Christina could not reject the adorable kids.
She reached for the card and removed the cap of the pen. âAll right. Tell me what I should write.â
Lucas cast a glance at Camila. Iâll leave the artistic side of things to Camila, Camila started eloquently. âMy sweet darling, youâre the most important person in my life. I want to hug you, kiss you, and never let you go.â
Christina laughed at her cringy words.
Lucas hurriedly reminded, âDonât laugh, Mommy. Focus on writing it down.â
Christina stopped laughing and gave him an okay before writing down Camilaâs words.
A while later, she handed over the written card to Camila. âIâm done. Shouldnât you both be going to bed now?â
Camila took the card and skimmed through it in detail. She then gave Christina a tube of lipstick. âMommy, stamp it.â
âHow?â Christina laughed so hard that her shoulders trembled.
Lucas pursed his lips and made a smooching sound. Christina was amused by his charming side.
Comprehension dawned on her as surprise filled her. âWhere did you learn that?â
âFrom the movies. All of them stamp their cards with a kiss.â
Without much choice, Christina applied a layer of lipstick on her lips, then gently pressed them on the card, leaving a red mark.
âDone. Here you go!â
Lucas and Camila checked the card and were satisfied with the mark. âThis is perfect. Continue with your work, Mommy. Weâll return to our room to finish our homework.â
âGo ahead.â Christina didnât notice the kids plan and buried her head in work.
Once Lucas and Camila returned to their study, they slid the card into the gift bag. With all the preparations done, all that was left was to wait for Nathaniel to come home.
The two went to their room after taking a shower. One was drawing, while the other was stacking blocks. Their eyes nearly fell shut but snapped open when they heard the heavy footsteps going up the stairs.
The sleepy kids immediately bolted upright and ran out of their room.
âDaddy, youâre finally back!â Lucas clung onto Nathanielâs leg.
Camila lifted her arms, gesturing for Nathaniel to carry her. âDaddy, carry me.â
Nathaniel carried the kids in each arm and strode to their bedroom. âWhy arenât the both of you asleep? Itâs already so late. Are you waiting up for me?â
Usually, they would have fallen asleep in Christinaâs embrace before I even got back. Since when do I have such an important place in their hearts?
Nathamel stopped by the childrenâs bed and gently set them down.
âHere you go. This is Mommyâs gift for you.â Lucas took an exquisite-looking red bag out of thin air.
âWhy didnât she give it to me herself if itâs from her? Nathaniel asked curiously.
Lucas was at a loss for words. Itâs not good when Daddy is too smart.
However, the wheels in his brain turned quickly, and he came up with a response. âBecause sheâs shy.â
âThatâs right. Mommy is also a girl. Sheâs shy about giving it to you, so she asked for Lucasâ and my help.â Camila was terrible at lying, so she repeated Lucasâ lie with her puppy dogâs eyes.
Nathaniel took the small, red gift bag. Its size was only slightly bigger than his palm. As it was sealed with tape, he couldnât peek inside it.
Recalling Baileyâs advice, Lucas immediately added, âMommy said you have to tell her if you like the gift.â
âShe said so?â Nathanielâs brows furrowed. What kind of gift needs feedback?
Thatâs right. Daddy, hurry up and open it and find Mommy. Weâre going to sleep now.â Camila couldnât fight the drowsiness lulling her to sleep.
Seeing the sleepy looks on the kidsâ faces, Nathaniel tucked their blankets around them, then pressed his lips to their foreheads.
âOkay. Go to sleepâ
The kids were exhausted. They mumbled, âGood night, Daddy.â
Watching as they fell asleep, Nathaniel flashed a rare, gentle smile. He got up and left the room, shutting the door softly, On the way back to his bedroom, he opened the gift bag, reached inside, and took out a piece of small pitiful-looking cloth.
The smooth red cloth was so thin he could see through it.
No wonder sheâs shy about giving such a gift.
Christina walked out of the bathroom in a pair of thin pajamas. Thin wisps of steam radiated from her back. The warm glow from overhead shone down on her, shrouding her in a misty yet alluring atmosphere.
Tilting her neck to the side, she wiped the water droplets from her hair with a towel. Her unconscious movement was enchanting.
Only the person looking at her at that moment would know how beautiful she looked.
âWhat are you standing there for? Arenât you going to take a shower?â Christina looked at him with clear eyes.
Nathaniel took out the card with the red lips mark and read its contents while approaching her. âMy sweetest darling...â
Christina recognized the card at once. Hasnât that the card I wrote for the kids? Why is it in Nathanielâs hands?
Before long, she guessed it was the kidsâ prank. It looks like theyâre itching for a beating.
Blushing, Christina wanted to snatch the card out of his hand. âGive it to me.â
Nathaniel raised his arm slightly and continued, âI want to hug you, kiss you...â
âIâm getting angry, Nathaniel! Give it to me!â
He wasnât fazed in the slightest and slid the card into the inner pocket of his suit.
Christinaâs face was red like a tomato. âI wrote that for Lucas and Camila. How immoral of you to steal the childrenâs stuff!â
Nathanielâs lips curved into a small smile at her cute reaction. He wrapped an arm around her thin waist. and waved the red cloth in front of her. âIs this also your gift?â
His hot breath warmed her cheek. The minute she saw the tiny piece of cloth, the color of her cars and checks turned redder.
âNo! Throw it away!â
Bailey must be behind this! What is she teaching my kids? I canât let her be alone with them anymore.
Nathaniel bent his knees slightly and carried her to bed. âThat wonât do. I still have to give you the feedback.â
âNathaniel, you b*stard-â
He covered her lips with his. His ragged breath fanned her face repeatedly, making her unable to resist.
A ray of sunlight streamed into the room. By the time Christina woke up, it was nearly nine in the morning.
She could still feel a bit of warmth on the other side of the bed, but Nathaniel had already left for work.
Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a call from Rayne asking about the display in the store. They had already brought the ready-to-
wear clothing to the store but needed Christinaâs help with the display arrangements.
âIâll be there in thirty minutes. Sort them according to their colors first.â
After leaving Rayne with a few instructions, she dragged her tired body out of bed.
Half an hour later, she arrived at the mall and spotted Yerek with bandages wrapped around his right hand. Looking personable in a suit, he was talking to a few female colleagues.
