Ever since the children barged into the room the last time, Christina would always keep a safe distance from him whenever they were out.

Meanwhile, Lucas and Camila were already awake by the time the car arrived at Scenic Garden Manor.

A short nap was all the kids needed to reinvigorate themselves.

After alighting from the car, both of them played ball in the courtyard. Christina was watching them she received Rayne’s call.

She subsequently headed to the study and borrowed Nathaniel’s computer for work.

Anya is with Grandma?

Christina didn’t want to alert Anya of her plan yet. Besides, her words wouldn’t carry much impact since she wasn’t by Azure’s side.

Holding that thought, she suppressed her anger and decided to hold Anya accountable only upon her return
