Chapter 402 Mad


    “Madison. She can’t get close to Nathaniel, so she’s targeting a child. How despicable!” Bailey couldn’t


    stand that contemptible behavior.

    With that, she was about to move forward and confront Madison.


    Christina grabbed her hand and whispered, “Cam is performing. Be patient.”


    She didn’t want to involve her child in the adults’ business.


    Looking at Cam’s innocent face on the stage, Bailey could only grit her teeth and suppress her urge


    to step forward and p Madison.


    Those few short minutes felt more unbearable and lengthy than a century.


    Some parents nearby praised obliviously, “It’s so nice to see a teacher and student perform together.”


    “That little girl is very talented.”


    “They look like mother and daughter.”


    Hearing that, Christina felt a little ufortable. She grimaced and remained quiet.


    Bailey, on the other hand, restlessly turned around and snapped. “The little girl’s mother is here. If you


    don’t know anything, don’t talk nonsense!”


    “Bailey, that’s enough.” Christina pulled her over, noticing the displeased expression on those parents”


    faces.


    After all the performances ended, there was a group photography session. Bailey dragged Christina


    onto the stage and deliberately raised her voice when she spoke. “Let’s take a photo of you mother-


    daughter duo!”


    Delighted to see her mother, Cam wrapped her arms around Christina tightly.


    “Your performance today was perfect, Cam.” Christina pecked Cam on the check as


    encouragement.


    “Thank you, Mommy.” With a grin, Cam held the hem of her dress, crossed her legs, and slightly bent


    her knees, looking exactly like the princesses in a cartoon.


    After the group photo was taken, Madison walked over.


    Seeing that, Bailey immediately gave Christina a look. “Cam, your performance was great today. I


    prepared a gift for you. Let’s go retrieve it.”


    She held Cam’s hand and strode outward as she spoke.


    Madison stared at Christina with a triumphant smile. “Cam likes me a lot. Next time, I n to bring


    her to participate inpetitions.”


    “Children will like any toys that can please them. You are no different from an object to her,” Christina


    uttered straightforwardly and coldly.


    “I’m not the same as a toy. As long as I spend more time with her, I’ll make my way into her heart.”


    Madison said firmly.


    Her earnest expression was met with Christina’s scoff “Have you aplished that after staying by


    Nathaniel’s side for so long?”


    Madison’s face darkened at once. That matter had be a permanent thorn in her flesh.


    “I thought Nathaniel had already clearly expressed his stance with his attitudest time. It seems like


    you still don’t understand. I’ll have him call you to rify this confusionter


    With that, Christina turned around and left the dance studio.


    Meanwhile, Bailey exited the kindergarten with Cam.


    “Cam, do you know who the person dancing with you just now was?” Bailey asked with all


    seriousness.


    Cam looked up naively. “Ms. Taggart is a ballet teacher! Why are you asking such a simple


    question?”


    She felt that her godmother wasn’t that bright that day.


    Bailey stomped her foot in exasperation. That despicable Madison is so adept at deceiving children!


    “She’s not a ballet teacher. She’s a bad woman who wants to snatch your daddy away from you and


    your mommy!”


    Cam suddenly widened her sparkling eyes as if she had done something wrong. “No way! No one


    can take my daddy away!”


    Bailey nodded and gave the little girl a thumbs-up. “That’s the right attitude. So, you should steer clear


    of Madison, that bad woman, got it?”


    At that moment, she noticed Christinaing out.


    Bailey ced a finger on her lips, gesturing at Cam to keep it a secret. “Don’t tell your mommy about


    this. Let’s keep this a secret.”


    Cam blinked and mimicked the silence gesture.


    “What are you two talking about?” Christina approached them.


    Cam rearranged her facial expression and spread her hands. “Aunt Bailey, didn’t you say you have a


    present for me? Where is it?”


    “I forgot to bring it. Let’s go buy one together.” Bailey quickly took Cam’s hand and got into the car.


    Christina trailed behind them and got into the car too. Then, they headed to the mall.


    Bailey bought many floral dresses for Cam, purchasing all the garments she found pleasing to her


    eyes.


    “Bailey, these dresses are nearly a thousand each. Aren’t they too expensive?” Christina looked at the


    price tags and felt it was too costly.


    It wasn’t that she couldn’t afford it, but she felt there was no need to waste money like that. After all,


    kids grew up very fast, and the clothes wouldn’t fit them soon.


    Bailey took the dress from her. “How is it a waste if the outfits look good on her? I’m buying them for


    Cam.”


    Cam tugged at the hem of her godmother’s clothes and blinked. “Aunt Bailey, you’ve already bought


    a lot of dresses for me. Daddy also purchased plenty of dresses for me, and they’re all custom-made.”


    The corner of Bailey’s mouth twitched. “I got it. You’re hinting that the dresses I bought are not custom-


    made and not as expensive as the ones your daddy bought


    “Aunt Bailey, you shouldn’tpare yourself to Daddy. The dresses Daddy bought for me are indeed.


    pricier, and you should ept that,” Cam remarked carnestly.


    She paused briefly before continuing. “No matter if the dresses are expensive or cheap,fort takes


    precedence, and above all is your love for me.”


    Bailey chuckled in amusement and reached out to pinch Cam’s check. “You’re such a sweet and


    likable child!”


    She lifted Cam and kissed her several times. “How great would it be if you were my daughter? I


    really don’t want to part with you.”


    Christina smiled. “If you two keep showing off your affection like this, we don’t even have to eat


    dessert.ter because I’ll be getting diabetes from watching your interaction.”


    At the mention of dessert, Cam turned serious. “Aunt Bailey, we can skip buying clothes, but having


    dessert is a must!”


    “No problem. Let’s go.”


    That night, Cam returned home with all kinds of delicious sweets.


    Lucas jogged up to Christina and hugged her thigh. “Mommy, why didn’t you take me shopping? I’ve


    be a left-behind child now. Hmph!”


    The bodyguard had picked him up and brought him home after school. Nathaniel wasn’t home, while


    Christina and Cam had gone shopping. As a result, no one kept himpany at home.


    “Didn’t I ask Daddy to pick you up?” Christinaforted Lucas while patting his head.


    “Mister bodyguard mentioned Daddy had to attend a meeting,” Lucas grumbled with his arms crossed.


    The consequences will be dire if I get mad!


    Cam took out a piece of candy and handed it to her brother. “Don’t be angry, Lucas. Let me treat you


    to


    sweets.


    “You’re the best, Cam. Let’s go upstairs and y with Legos.” Lucas received the piece of candy,


    unwrapped it, and put it into his mouth. Then, he grinned widely.


    The two kids held hands and cheerily went upstairs.


    Christina curled her lips into a smile, watching their petite retreating figures.


    “What are you so happy about?” Nathaniel entered from behind, naturally wrapping his hand around


    her


    slim waist.


    Catching whiffs of Nathaniel’s faint fragrance, Christina took a few steps forward to avoid his touch.


    “Where were you? Why did youe back sote? You didn’t even pick up our son at school.”
