Chapter 605
Jonathan picked up his phone, found Cristina’s number, and called.
“Ms. Lagarde.”
Cristina was with Eugene. She had just returned after work and the two of them were eating the dinner Eugene had
cooked. Hearing Jonathan’s voice, Cristina’s heart skipped a beat. She could guess why Jonathan called her at this
time.
She did her best to act calm and asked, “If it isn’t Mr. Gay, what is it?”
“Are you at home? Mr. Calsis said he’s going over to pick up his kids.”
Cristina did not know what to say.
‘He must think his kids are with me!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTheresa had already brought the kids away and Charlie had no idea.
‘Hmph! He deserves it! Why did he have to detest Theresa? She would not have divorced him if not because of
that. She liked him so much and even saw him as her hope, but what about him? He became a prick right after he
stood up! Asshole!’
As Cristina thought of all that, she found an excuse and said, “I brought the kids back to my hometown, I’m
planning to spend the festival with them.”
“And where is that?” Jonathan asked.
Charlie sat on the side and watched Jonathan talk on the phone.
Cristina said, “I’ll send them back after the festival. What, they’re my children, can’t I spend the festival with them?
Isn’t Charlie too controlling? The kids love being with me, and it just so happens I’m on holiday as well.”
Jonathan said, “Ms. Lagarde, it’s best to send the kids back here! This is the first year they’ll be spending at home,
the people in the family all want to celebrate the new year with them.”
“And I want to do that too,” Cristina said, “Tell Charlie to wait.”
Cristina hung up. She was afraid that if she said too much, she would let the cat out of the bag. She then sent a
message to Theresa telling her that Jonathan had called.
Eugene, who was sitting opposite her, asked, “Who was that?”
“Nobody.” Cristina gave a perfunctory response.
Eugene looked at how inattentive she was towards him and said, “Cristina.”
He was asking her nicely, but her response was hurtful.
Cristina glanced at him. She did not want to discuss this topic with him and said, “It’s really nothing, can’t
I have my own things?”
Eugene was rendered speechless. He really admitted her ability to lie through her teeth! He could clearly tell it had
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsomething to do with Charlie, did she think he was an idiot?
Eugene said, “About Charlie’s kids?”
Cristina replied with a short “Hmm”.
“What happened between Theresa and Charlie?”
“Nothing.”
Eugene said, “If you don’t tell me, I’ll ask Charlie myself tomorrow.”
Cristina was at a loss for words.
Shit! He was threatening her again! Now that Eugene knew about the secret about the kids, he kept using it to
threaten her, and it made her extremely unhappy!
Left with no choice, Cristina said, “Theresa and Charlie got a divorce. She took the kids away, Charlie
doesn’t know yet, he thinks the kids are with me.”
Eugene frowned. “You’re playing with fire!”
If Charlie later found out that Cristina had been lying to his face like this, he would definitely be mad.
Eugene looked at Cristina and suggested, “If the kids are with Theresa, I think it’s better you tell Charlie.” “Tell him
what?” Cristina said, “Tell him the kids are his? Why should I? I want him to be anxious.”
