Rebirth: Mommy's Revenge Chapter 331: Pretending to Be a Loving Couple in Public

"Alright."

Christina nodded casually, not even turning her head as she followed Harper to the kids' room, her cheeks a bit flushed.

Watching her slender figure disappear, William's mood lifted, and he couldn't help but smile.

No matter what, Christina had agreed to go to the office with him.

This was a great start.

He glanced discreetly at his finger, still wrapped in a band-aid, and smiled like a kid who'd just snuck a piece of candy.

The next morning, Christina and William dropped Harper off at preschool and then took the same car to the Cavendish Corporation.

But as soon as they got out of the car, they were swarmed by reporters at the entrance of the Cavendish Corporation building.

It was like the reporters had caught wind of some major scoop. As soon as the couple stepped out of the car, they surrounded them.

If it weren't for the timely intervention of the bodyguards, Christina might have been swept away by the crowd.

William frowned slightly and quickly shielded Christina behind him, lowering his voice.

"Sorry, Christina. I didn't tell anyone you were coming to the office today. These reporters weren't called by me."

Christina nodded. She knew William wouldn't do such a thing.

But as to why the news had suddenly leaked, Christina could only think that their conversation at the hospital had been overheard, leading to today's situation.

"Mrs. Cavendish was hospitalized recently. How is her health now?"

"There were rumors of a marital crisis recently. Mr. Cavendish, are you bringing Mrs. Cavendish to the office today to dispel those rumors?"

"Is it true that you two are only living together for the sake of your daughter and have no real feelings for each other?"

The reporters bombarded them with questions, and William's patience wore thin. His tone turned cold, but he kept Christina firmly in his embrace to protect her from the crowd.

"My wife and I have a very good relationship. Please don't make malicious speculations."

William's eyes swept coldly over the reporters.

"This is the Cavendish Corporation. My wife is here for a special visit today. Please don't disturb us or the employees' work."

His brief statement was enough to silence the reporters.

They were all seasoned professionals, and they knew better than to provoke the Cavendish family.

A few gossip questions might make headlines, but offending the CEO of the Cavendish Corporation could have serious repercussions in their industry.

No one wanted to truly anger William, so they exchanged glances and fell silent.

Just then, Christina squeezed William's hand and smiled at him, exuding a sense of deep affection.

She then turned to the reporters.

"People say we're getting divorced, but my husband was at the hospital taking care of me yesterday until late at night. How could our marriage be over without me knowing?"

Her brief statement instantly eased the tension.

With their high profiles and happy smiles, they didn't look like a couple on the verge of a breakup.

The reporters sensed a headline and quickly snapped photos, asking questions that sounded more like gossip.

"So, when did you two tie the knot? How do you keep the spark alive after all these years?"

"People say having kids turns marriage into a chore, but you two seem so vibrant. What's your secret?"

"Mrs. Cavendish, could you..."

Christina smiled and selectively answered a few questions, handling the situation gracefully and soon satisfying the reporters enough for them to leave.

Once peace was restored, Christina rubbed her stiff cheeks and sighed.

If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have agreed to help William at the office.

But there was no turning back now. She had to see it through.

Helping William meant helping herself and her studio.

Suddenly, she looked up and saw William gazing at her with deep, focused eyes.

His gaze was like a deep pool, threatening to pull her in.

Feeling herself nearly lost in his eyes, Christina quickly looked away and pretended to be calm as she walked forward.

"We're almost late for work. Just because you're the CEO doesn't mean you can be late."

Her brief comment masked her embarrassment and anxiety, and William saw through it but chose not to call her out. Instead, he smiled and followed her lead.

"You're right. We can't be late."

His gentle voice echoed in her ears, and Christina didn't turn back, though her flushed ears betrayed her feelings.

William stifled a laugh, suddenly thinking that going to work with Christina every day might not be so bad.

As they walked side by side, Christina tried to avoid physical contact with William, but to maintain their loving facade, she lightly held his arm and smiled politely.

When they reached the CEO's office, Christina finally withdrew her arm from William's embrace, her smile fading to her usual calm demeanor.

William wasn't disappointed. He placed a stack of prepared documents on the desk in front of Christina.

"Christina, these are the files that need to be handled today. I'll leave them to you."

Christina nodded and took the files, only to find they were all design-related documents.

She looked up at William, questioning him with her eyes.

"Well," William explained sheepishly, "our design department manager is on vacation. This project has always been his responsibility, and no one else can take over right now."

"Since you're a designer, these documents should be right up your alley. So, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you with this."

Christina was silent.

She was genuinely speechless. These documents were a real hassle, requiring extensive research to ensure their professionalism and avoid any uncertain terms.

If it weren't for William's pitiful expression yesterday, Christina might have suspected he was deliberately making things difficult for her.
