Chapter 598 Do Something Meaningful


    The trio took their seats simultaneously. Christina sat beside Nathaniel, feeling nervous as she did not


    know what Charlie wanted to talk about.


    To Julia and Charlie, Christina had already severed ties with the Gibsons and no longer had anything to


    do with them.


    Christina did not want Nathaniel’s parents to know that the Gibsons had contacted her again. After all,


    the Gibsons only had two motives for doing so-vengeance and money.


    Charlie began solemnly, “I’ve been following the news on the inte for the past two days. Don’t feel


    pressured, Christina. We believe you have nothing to do with the Gibson family’s predicament.


    However, they’re still your family, so go ahead and deal with those matters. Don’t shoulder everything


    on your own. Have Nathaniel help you. If he wouldn’t,e to me for assistance.”


    Nathaniel wrapped an arm around Christina’s waist before his father and dered domineeringly,


    “Christina is my wife. Of course I will protect and support her.”


    Charlie red at his son before mercilessly exposing him.


    “You used to be a workaholic. Your mother and I thought you would be married to your work if you


    didn’t marry Christina and have a child.”


    “Like you said, that was before. I’ve made a great effort to change to be a worthy husband and


    father.”


    Noticing that the father-and-son duo were about to start arguing. Christina hastily stepped forward to


    diffuse the situation.


    “Nathaniel treats me well, Dad. He even puts work aside to care for me. 1, on the other hand, am to


    me for causing him trouble.”


    Nathaniel tightened his grip around her waist. “I don’t think of it as trouble, Christina. It makes me


    happy that you trust me and rely on me.”


    His sweet and affectionate words made her heart melt. Blushing all the way to the tips of her ears, she


    did not dare look up to meet Charlie’s gaze.


    Can’t Nathaniel read the room before saying sweet nothings?


    Charlie similed in contentment as he witnessed the young couple’s loving interaction. “Your mother and


    1 are d to see how happy the both of you are.”


    When they saw the news, Charlie and Julia were worried that the Gibson family would cause trouble


    and drive a wedge between Nathaniel and Christina.


    Knowing how much Nathaniel cared about Christina, they had no doubt that Nathaniel would lose his


    mind if they were to be forced apart.


    Thus, the two elders racked their brains and finally scheduled a time to invite Nathaniel and Christina


    over for dinner so they could sound the young couple out.


    Christina understood Charlie and Julia’s efforts at once. “I’m sorry for letting you two worry about us,”


    she said, touched by how much the duo cared about them.


    Charlie smiled kindly. “We’re family. Of course we look out for one another. You don’t have to be so


    formal with us, Christina.”


    Returning the smile, Christina nodded.


    “You two make yourselves at home. I’ll check to see if dinner is ready.” Charlie rose and headed to the


    kitchen to give the young couple some alone time.


    Nathaniel kissed Christina’s scorching ear and earned himself an irate re from her.


    “What are you doing? We’re in your parents’ house. It wouldn’t look good if they saw us acting all


    lovey- dovey.”


    “There’s nothing wrong with me kissing my wife. They don’t have to look at us if it makes them


    ufortable.” Nathaniel leaned in close to Christina’s ear and spoke in a volume that only they can


    hear. “If I understand you correctly, I can’t kiss you while we’re out, but I can do whatever I want to you


    at home, right?”


    Christina tried to push him away and stand up, but he kept his arms firmly wrapped around her waist,


    locking her in his embrace.


    “Let me go, Nathaniel. Stop it,” she hissed, blushing furiously.


    Nathaniel scooped her up from the couch with a flourish, making Christina squeal. Her limbs iled.


    wildly beforetching on to him.


    Nathaniel nted a light kiss on her lips. “It’s not every day that we get to rx, Darling. Let’s do


    something meaningful.”


    With Christina in his arms, he ascended the stairs and headed to his bedroom.


    Once they entered his bedroom, Nathaniel pinned her against the bed. Christina pushed against his


    shoulder with all her might.


    “We can’t"


    “I’ve asked the doctor, Darling. We are cleared for some light action after the first three months.”


    Christina was about to say something else, but Nathaniel sealed her lips with his.


    When Julia brought the children downstairs and did not see Nathaniel and Christina anywhere, she


    turned to Charlie, who had just emerged from the kitchen.


    “Where are those two?”


    Charlie gazed meaningfully up the stairs. “Christina must be tired, so Nathaniel brought her upstairs for


    a nap. Pregnant women need plenty of sleep.”


    Julia did not think much about it. She turned to Lucas and Cam. “Daddy and Mommy are so tired


    from work that they’re resting upstairs. Let’s not disturb them. Come, we’ll head to the backyard for


    some games, all right?”


    Lucas and Cam nodded in unison. Julia led them to the backyard and Charlie, who had nothing else


    to do, tagged along.


    It was past dinnertime when the couple was finally done.


    Christina nestled under the warm covers, too tired to move, while Nathaniel voluntarily took up the task


    of caring for her.


    He went downstairs to bring dinner up on a tray and fed her.


    Christina went back to sleep after eating, so Nathaniel went downstairs to y with Lucas and Cam.


    While the children were kicking a ball around the spacious backyard, Nathaniel and Charlie sat in the


    corridor and chatted.


    “Any new leads on that old case?” Charlie took a sip of tea, keeping his inscrutably cid gaze glued


    on the two little ones.


    “I found something.” Nathaniel reported. “Winston and Nigel had a cordial rtionship that they keep


    under wraps, but there is no evidence to prove that the ident was a coboration between the two.


    Now that Nigel owns shares in Winston’spany, Raveworks Enterprise, their rtionship is no


    longer as good as before.”


    Having weathered countless storms in the industry for over half his life, Charlie had seen his fair share


    of corruption and was able to make an urate guess without Nathaniel explicitly saying so.


    “Indeed, Nigel is not as capable as Timothy, but he is still a schemer. Obviously, he wouldn’t have


    worked with Winston if thetter didn’t have a few tricks up his sleeve. Be careful as this implicates


    Christina. Uncovering the truth is important, but not as important as harmony in your household.”


    Charlie was forcibly reminded of the past when talking about that. He heaved a sigh with remorse.


    Nathaniel gazed tenderly at the two little ones sprinting happily in the backyard. He said solemnly, “I


    know what to do. Christina and I will be busier than usual after this. We need you and Mom to look after


    Lucas and Cam.”


    “Your mother and I are old,” Charlie said. “Lucas and Cam’spany adds some much-needed


    energy and vigor to the house. Take good care of Christina. Nothing can happen to the baby she’s


    carrying.”


    “I know what to do,” Nathaniel repeated calmly.

    “You know very well what I mean, Nathaniel,” Charlie said with a meaningful look.
