Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth

Chapter 503 Together Forever.

Upon seeing the sincere look in Francis’ bright eyes, Christina suppressed her doubts.

l'll trust him one more time! Around twenty minutes later, the minivan came to a halt in a quiet alley.

This is a secluded place.

If something were to happen to us, no one would hear or see us.

Nathaniel, who was always vigilant, 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 explained. NôvelDrama.Org content.

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 Gallagher, 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.

Moments later, 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 explained, “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.

J see...

J 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 places 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 you coming to fetch Lucas and Camila today?” Christina grabbed Nathaniel’s wrist to

look at the time on his watch.

It's past five o'clock! Classes have ended at the kindergarten.

“We're on our way.

Please help us look after Lucas and Camila for a while,”

Christina said.

“Sure.”

Christina hung up the phone and turned toward Nathaniel.

“Lucas and Camila are done with their classes.”

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

“How about these documents?”

Christina glanced 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, I—”

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”

“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 Camila 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 Camila's shimmering eyes when she murmured, “Lucas, why aren't

Mommy and Daddy here yet?” Lucas looked outside, then lowered his head to glance at Camila.

“Be a good girl, Camila. I'm sure Daddy and Mommy will arrive soon.”

“Okay.” Camila 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, Camila!”

“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 arriving late,” 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, Camila was on the verge of bursting into tears.

“Mommy, I thought I would never see you again”

Christina's heart broke when she heard Camila’s pitiful voice.

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

that way, Camila?”

“I was afraid that what happened at Great-Granny’'s house would happen again,”

Camila answered truthfully.

Christina and Nathaniel went silent.

/t seems that Camila is traumatized by what happened at the Gibson residence.

Moments later, Nathaniel carried Camila in his arms and said, “Camila, we'll always protect you and

Lucas.

We'll be together forever.”

“Really?” Camila asked.

“Yes. I promise you.”

Nathaniel reached out his pinky to make a pinky promise to Camila.

Only then did Camila smile through her tears and feel a sense of security.
