Chapter 338 The Brutal Truth

Looking at the backs of the three individuals, Nathaniel felt a deep sense of loss.

He wondered when they would ever fully accept him.

Christina took the kids upstairs. After taking a bath, the two of them sat on the bed wearing adorable cartoon pajamas.

“Why are you so well-behaved today?” Christina asked. Lucas was usually an energetic child. She rarely saw him in such a dispirited state, like a sunflower without sunlight.

Lucas lifted his crystal-clear eyes. He seemed to be waiting for Christina to realize his unusual behavior. “Mommy, you mustn’t lie to me.”

He didn’t believe in Nathaniel, but he trusted Christina a lot.

Christina was completely clueless about the kids’ secret. As she absent-mindedly wiped the water droplets off Camila’s hair with a towel, she replied casually, “Sure. Go ahead and ask.”

Lucas and Camila exchanged a glance. His gaze seemed to be saying. “Why don’t you ask?”

Camila shook her head. You ask.

Lucas bit his thin lips. He knew it was his responsibility as the elder brother at times like this, so he asked solemnly. “Does Daddy have any other kids besides us?”

The kid’s innocent voice was soft, yet it struck Christina’s heart like a ringing bell.

Christina stopped what she was doing, wondering if Lucas knew something.

She endured the wrenching pain in her heart and asked, “Who told you that? Your daddy?”

Lucas shook his head. “No. We’re just curious.”

Christina gazed at their pure and innocent faces. Her slightly anxious face was reflected in their clear eyes.
