Chapter 503 Together Forever


    Upon seeing the sincere look in Francis’ bright eyes, Christina suppressed her doubts. I’ll trust him one


    more time!


    Around twenty minutester, the minivan came to a halt in a quiet alley.


    This is a secluded ce. If something were to happen to us, no one would hear or see us. Nathaniel,


    who was always vignt, tugged on Christina’s shirt right when she was about to exit the car. After that,


    he threw Francis a wary look with his darkened eyes.


    “There’s a private detective agency here. I got all my information from this agency,” Francis exined.


    Seeing that Nathaniel was still doubtful, Francis got out of the car and led the way.


    The private detective agency was located on the second floor, deep inside the alley. It was a room with


    a space of less than eighty square meters.


    As soon as the door was pushed open, the people inside turned around warily at once.


    Seeing that it was Francis, Joel Gagher, the private detective, smiled brightly and greeted, “What


    brings you here?”


    As soon as he finished his sentence, he saw Nathaniel and Christina walking in.


    Evidently, the atmosphere in the room became tense the moment Nathaniel and Christina entered the


    room.


    The smile on Joel’s face froze when he saw them. In fact, he subconsciously wanted to hide himself.


    Nathaniel and Christina noticed it right away. It seems that this is the private detective who has been


    secretly taking photos of us.


    “Let’s talk business.” As the instigator, Francis had an awkward look on his face. However, that wasn’t


    the time to be bothered by that. “Bring out all the information I gave you over the phone. Let Mr. Hadley


    and Ms. Steele take a look at them.”


    “Sure.” Joel didn’t know why Francis had suddenly buried the hatchet with Nathaniel, but he knew he


    didn’t have the right to raise any questions. I’m getting paid, so I should do as I was told.


    Momentster, the long desk in the room was filled with numerous stacks of documents.


    Christina, who was sitting on the couch, was stunned. “That’s a lot of information.”


    Nathaniel narrowed his eyes. I started my investigation ever since I found out Christina wasn’t the


    Steele family’s biological daughter. Yet, I couldn’t even gather as much information. As a matter of fact,


    due to various reasons. I had to give up on some of the investigations I initiated.


    Francis, who was standing nearby, handed Christina a document and exined. “This is because most


    of the investigations here are about the daily lives of your biological parents.”


    Christina was puzzled at first when she heard that. After flipping through the documents, however, she


    understood what Francis meant. Most of the information here consists of the trivial things my parents


    did back then, such as their vacations and the friends they made.


    Nathaniel raised his brows slightly when he flipped through the documents. I see… I almost thought I


    wasn’t as good as Francis!


    Christina lifted her head and asked in bafflement. “The events in the documents happened forty years.


    ago. H-How did you get your hands on this?”


    Francis turned toward Joel when he heard that.


    Joel smiled and answered. “Well, I interviewed the people they met up with and went to the ces they


    had been. Humans tend to leave footprints wherever they go.”


    Upon hearing that, Christina knew how good Joel was, and he merely made it sound simple. Joel is so


    meticulous.


    She thought so because there was even a photo of Timothy with his friend, and Timothy was smiling


    brightly in the photo. Now, Dad is always hiding in the room. It breaks my heart to see how he’s doing


    now.


    Christina became even more eager to find out what had happened back then. There’s so much


    information here. I’ll need a long time to finish going through all the documents.


    Suddenly, Christina’s phone rang, and she whipped it out to see that it was a call from the kindergarten.


    “Ms. Steele, are youing to fetch Lucas and Cam today?”


    Christina grabbed Nathaniel’s wrist to look at the time on his watch. It’s past five o’clock! sses have


    ended at the kindergarten.


    “We’re on our way. Please help us look after Lucas and Cam for a while.” Christina said.


    “Sure.”


    Christina hung up the phone and turned toward Nathaniel. “Lucas and Cam are done with their


    sses.”


    “Let’s go.” Nathaniel rose to his feet.


    “How about these documents?” Christina nced at the documents she hadn’t gone through yet.


    “I’ll get Sebastian to bring the documents back to Scenic Garden Manor.” With that, Nathaniel went to


    make a call.


    Francis took the opportunity to walk up to Christina. With a frown, he uttered apologetically, “Christina,


    I’m sorry. Before this, 1-”


    Francis wanted to apologize for the things he had done back then, but he didn’t know where to start.


    Right then, Nathaniel had just gotten off the phone, and he saw Francis standing very close to


    Christina.


    Displeased, Nathaniel dragged Christina away and said, “Let’s go.”


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “Are you jealous again?” Christina was amused.


    Nathaniel snorted coldly and did not deny it. Although he was okay with Christina meeting Francis, he


    didn’t want Francis to get close to Christina.


    By the time Nathaniel and Christina arrived on the street. Sebastian had already arrived in a car There


    was also another car behind Sebastian.


    “Mr. Hadley, Mrs. Hadley.” Sebastian got out of the car and passed the car key to Nathaniel before


    leading the men at the back into the private detective agency to grab the documents.


    At the kindergarten, Lucas and Cam were waiting at the entrance with their eyes fixed on the


    driveway Needless to say, they couldn’t wait to see their parents.


    As time ticked by, they still hadn’t seen any familiar faces. A dejected look appeared in Cam’s


    shimmering eyes when she murmured, “Lucas, why aren’t Mommy and Daddy here yet?”


    Lucas looked outside, then lowered his head to nce at Cam. “Be a good girl, Cam. I’m sure


    Daddy and Mommy will arrive soon.”


    “Okay.” Cam nodded obediently.


    Right then. Nathaniel and Christina arrived. The moment the car came to a halt, Christina hopped out


    of the car and dashed toward the kindergarten.


    Christina’s heart melted when she saw the kids leaning their heads on each other behind the gate.


    “Lucas, Cam!”


    “Mommy!” The kids’ eyes lit up when they saw Christina.


    After the teacher opened the gate, the kids threw themselves into Christina’s embrace at once.


    While in her embrace, the kids felt safe and at ease.


    “I’m sorry for arrivingte,” Christina apologized and caressed the kids’ heads.


    Like a little man, Lucas shook his head, indicating that it wasn’t a big deal.


    On the contrary, Cam was on the verge of bursting into tears. “Mommy, I thought I would never see


    you again.”


    Christina’s heart broke when she heard Cam’s pitiful voice.


    Nathaniel, who was standing beside Christina, squatted down and asked Cam, “Why would you feel


    that way, Cam?”


    “I was afraid that what happened at Great-Granny’s house would happen again.” Cam answered.


    truthfully.


    Christina and Nathaniel went silent. It seems that Cam is traumatized by what happened at the


    Gibson residence.


    Momentster, Nathaniel carried Cam in his arms and said, “Cam, we’ll always protect you and


    Lucas. We’ll be together forever.”


    “Really?” Cam asked.


    “Yes. I promise you.” Nathaniel reached out his pinky to make a pinky promise to Carm.


    Only then did Cam smile through her tears and feel a sense of security,
