A Crazy Night

Chapter 330

Chapter 330 Daddy Is Amazing

When Christina returned to the Scenic Garden Manor, the two kids had already woken up.

“Mommy, you promised to keep us company today. Don’t lie to us!”

Camila pouted. “Mommy never lies to us. Don’t worry, Lucas!”

Christina was so exhausted that all she wanted to do was to lie down and have a good sleep. However, when she saw the look of anticipation in the children’s eyes, she could not bear to refuse them.

“Where do you want to go to play?”

Lucas walked up to Christina and spun around. “Mommy, what outfit do you think I’m wearing?”

Camila walked over too. “Mommy, look at me too! I’m wearing the same thing as Lucas. It’s a set!”

When Christina took a closer look, she saw that the two kids were indeed wearing the same outfit. Alongside a white shirt with a black vest thrown over it, they also wore black tapered pants and black boots, looking like a little prince and princess.

“I know! A riding outfit!”

Camila leaped in happiness. “You’re so smart, Mommy! We’re going to ride horses today!” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“But the stable needs to be reserved beforehand if we want to enter it. I didn’t make any reservations,” revealed Christina in a troubled tone.

Lucas snapped his fingers. “Daddy has already reserved it beforehand. Go and change quickly!”

“Huh?” Christina let the two kids drag her upstairs to change.

The last person she wanted to see right now was Nathaniel. After she changed her clothes, she wanted to leave with the kids first.

However, as soon as she got downstairs, she saw Nathaniel’s car parked in front of the door.

“Daddy, we are ready! We can set off now!” declared Camila proudly as she raised her head.

Nathaniel bent down and pulled the incomparably adorable girl into his arms. “Good job! Let’s get into

the car.”

He let the children enter the car one after the other before turning his gaze to Christina, who had changed. into a riding suit. Her long hair was all tied up, revealing her delicate and lovely face.

Christina intentionally avoided his gaze. Just when she was heading toward the passenger seat, someone grabbed her arm.

“Are you avoiding me?” Nathaniel’s clear voice sounded beside her car.

Pretending to be calm, Christina met his gaze. “No, there’s not enough space in the back. How about you sit in the front?”

Nathaniel did not respond. He stuffed her into the back seat and then got in himself.

It was quite a bit of a squeeze with the four of them sitting in the back seat, especially with Nathaniel’s tall

build. It became hard to breathe beside him.

Nathaniel could smell the fragrance of Christina’s hair when he lowered his head. It smelled like his shampoo at home. However, when mixed with Christina’s scent, the aroma was much better than usual.

The ride was bumpy when the car turned around the corners. Christina instinctively protected Lucas and Camila with her hand while Nathaniel’s hand was wrapped around her waist.

“Be careful!”

Lucas and Camila were so busy looking at the scenery outside that they responded without turning around, “Don’t worry, Mommy. We’re fine.”

Christina tried to push Nathaniel’s hand away, but he was so strong that she was no match for him. Left with no choice, she could only let him hug her throughout the ride.

Soon, they arrived at the stable, which Nathaniel had already reserved. He used to have a hobby of horse riding and owned several good horses.

The trainer led two horses out as instructed. However, as Lucas and Camila were too young, they could not ride such big horses.

“I will take you for a short ride first before arranging for you to ride the ponies, okay?” Nathaniel suggested.

“Yay! Let’s play together, Daddy!” Camila happily tugged Nathaniel’s clothes.

Nathaniel mounted the horse first. The trainer lifted Camila and Lucas one by one. After adjusting their positions, they were ready to set off.

Although Christina did not have much experience riding horses, Nathaniel had taught her a little bit. before. Hence, she could still handle a simple trot.

She mounted the horse.

“Let’s go.” Nathaniel gently squeezed the horse’s flank, prompting it to start moving.

Christina followed behind slowly at the speed of a leisurely walk. The wind blew against her face, causing her loose hair to flutter in the air.

The golden sunlight shone on her face, refracting against her delicate and smooth skin. It was as if she was one with the light.

People often said that nature had a magical power that could heal one’s heart. That was quite true, for Christina’s gloomy mood was dispersed by the wind.

After getting used to the slight bumps while sitting on the horseback, Camila and Lucas asked Nathaniel to speed up.

Nathaniel accelerated within a safe range, causing the horse to start trotting lightly. Finding it particularly exciting, the two kids giggled with joy as the wind blew against them.

“Wow! This is so fun!”

“Daddy’s amazing!”

After the three left, Christina was left behind. Her horse walked forward slowly.

Behind her, the sound of rapid hoofbeats approached. Christina, who was not familiar with riding. instinctively tried to avoid it.

However, the person behind her seemed to be intentionally rushing toward her. The rider zooming past deliberately slapped the back of her horse.

Startled, the horse neighed and bolted forward, suddenly going out of control.

Terrified, Christina gripped the reins with her thin hands, afraid of being thrown off by the horse.

She thought that as long as she held on for a while more, the horse would provocation.

Every second that Christina spent on the horseback felt like being on a cliff’s edge. There was a constant sense of imminent danger as if she might fall and break all her bones should she let her guard down.

After a moment, cold sweat began to form on her forehead. Still, the horse showed no signs of slowing down. It was as if the ground beneath it was scorching its hooves, preventing it from stopping in its tracks.

Suddenly, the horse flicked its tail, flinging Christina off its back.

Christina closed her eyes tightly. Instinctively protecting her head with her hands, she prayed that the impact would not be too severe when she crashed onto the ground.

However, the expected pain did not come. Nathaniel caught her, his strong body serving as a cushion from the hard ground. Apart from feeling the impact on her body, Christina did not sustain any significant injuries.

On the other hand, since Nathaniel had cushioned her fall, his back scraped against the rocks and started bleeding.

Upon hearing that something dangerous had happened, the staff at the stable immediately rushed over and sedated the unruly horse with a tranquilizer.

The trainer suggested that it might have been agitated as it had not been ridden for a long time and was throwing a tantrum.

However, Christina knew very well that it was not the case. Someone had deliberately frightened the horse…

Although she only caught a glimpse of the person’s figure, the silhouette resembled @meone from her

memory.

“I’m fine. Don’t tell the kids. I’ll go change first,” said Christina to Nathaniel briefly before hurrying away.

Nathaniel was still sitting on the ground, his back stinging in pain. A gloomy expression crossed his cold

fare.

She didn’t show any concern even though I got injured. How can she just leave like that?

Christina entered the changing room and heard the sound of a door closing.

Christina could tell from the silhouette that it was a woman. Since the person was wearing a casual riding outfit, she had to change out of her clothes before leaving Otherwise, Christina would recognize her

based on the patterns on her clothes.

When Christina approached the closed door, she heard the rustling of clothes, indicating that someone was changing inside

As the door opened, the two of them locked eyes,
