“Mrs Hadley specially sent this over for your negishment Youll feel better after drinking it, and you might even be able to give Mr. Hadley a baby soon. My Christina” the housekeeper replied, grinning from ea to rai

Immediately. Christina’s face flushed bright red. For my nourishment? More like prepping me for prepmency?

“I don’t want to drink this Give me something else she declined

A conflicted look showed on the housekeeper’s face Trm afraid that isn’t possible. Mr. Hadley has drunk a bowl, and this is yours. Mrs. Hadley gave the orders to watch you finish it. Why don’t you play along since she means well. Ms Christina?”

At that, Christina heaved a sigh. “Leave it here, then Make me a bowl of oatmeal, please.”

Acquiescing smilingly, the housekeeper whirled around and went into the kitchen.

The moment she left. Christina hastily slid the concoction before her over to Nathaniel with light movements. “Drink it for me.”

Nathaniel threw her a sidelong glance. “It’s not bitter. Try it.”

I feel sick from the smell alone, yet he’s claiming that it isn’t bitter? What a blatant lie!

Christina gazed at him with teary eyes like a lost lamb seeking help. “I’ll throw up after drinking it since it’s so bitter”

Nathaniel went silent.

“Pretty please?”

Since he did not turn her down, Christina quickly took off after bidding him farewell.

As soon as Christina stepped into the office, Rayne hurried over. “You’ve got an appointment with a premier VIP today, and it’s almost time, Christina. Do make the necessary preparations.”

“Okay. Buy me some breakfast, please.” While saying that, Christina walked into the office.
