As Christina came to a stop by the chair, she asked, “Why didn’t you call me if you were waiting for me for dinner?”

She would have come home earlier if she had known that Nathaniel was waiting for her.

Nathaniel put down the file in his hand and reached out to pull her into his arms.

Lowering his head, he whispered to Christina, expressing understanding and reassurance, “It’s rare for you to have time to visit your granny. It’s okay.”

Hearing that made a wave of guilt swell in Christina’s chest. “Should I get the kitchen staff to heat up the food for you?”

At this rate, his dinner was his supper.

Nathaniel hummed in response again!

After a peck on his cheek, Christina straightened up and left.

Once the food was hot again, Nathaniel came downstairs. Christina accompanied him for the meal before returning to her room to rest.

Late into the night, Nathaniel remained immersed in his work within the study room. Occasionally, the silence would be interrupted by the sound of coughing.

When Sebastian went into the room to pass him more documents, he worriedly asked, “Mr. Hadley, why don’t you take a break?”

Nathaniel had been working non-stop for seventy-two hours. Even a machine would need a break every once in a while.

But Sebastian could not tell if Nathaniel had registered his words, for what Nathaniel said to him in response was, “I’ll be signing a contract with a Ferropenian company tomorrow. Show me the contract so that I can go over the details again.”

The collaboration project the next day was worth a billion and three hundred million; it was definitely a project Nathaniel had to be meticulous about.

Sebastian hummed in agreement before digging out a thick folder from the stack, but he hesitated. when he was about to pass it to Nathaniel.

By the time Nathaniel went through the folder, it would be late into the night.
