A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 377

Chapter 377 No One Takes Care Of Daddy

As the car door opened, Nathaniel swiftly lifted Christina off her feet and carried her inside.

The closing of the door reverberated in her ears as she found herself pressed against the car window.

Without hesitation, Nathaniel forcefully kissed her, his fiery and intense breath engulfing her like a raging fire, consuming her completely.

Instinctively, she tried to evade his overpowering presence. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a familiar figure standing outside the window.

It was at that moment she understood why he did that.

Nathaniel intentionally used her to provoke Francis.

Outside the car, a chilling gust of wind slipped into Francis’ collar, yet his handsome face remained remarkably composed.

The figure pressed against the window and their entwined hands appeared to be signaling to him that something was happening in the car.

He felt as if someone had ripped his heart out and dropped it from a great height, shattering it into pieces.

As the car drove away, only the solitary figure of the man remained on the empty ground.

Inside the car, Christina pushed Nathaniel away, her icy face showing no reaction. “You’ve achieved your goal. Can you let go now?”

The wrist Nathaniel gripped onto throbbed with a faint pain.

Nathaniel slowly released his grip, appearing calm as if nothing had happened.

He admitted he did that to provoke Francis. Seeing the disappointment and frustration on Francis’ face gave him a sense of satisfaction.

Christina rubbed her wrist before mouthing the word “childish.”

“I can be more childish than this if you insist on keeping in touch with him,” Nathaniel said, unfazed by her disdain.

Upon returning to Scenic Garden Manor, Christina was the first to get out of the car and went upstairs.

Observing her visibly irritated expression, the butler deduced that another argument had ensued between the couple.

Nathaniel, too, ascended the stairs and retreated into his study.

Engrossed in his work, he pushed himself until the late hours of the night, but his exhausted body succumbed to a fever.

The butler brought a glass of water upstairs and noticed the medicine on the desk had only been taken once. “You still need to continue taking your medication. Mr. Hadley.”

Nathaniel responded with a faint hum and paid no further attention to his reminder.

The butler knew he could not persuade Nathaniel further. Saying more will only annoy him.

The following day, Christina woke up and left the house without having breakfast.

She agreed to take on the role of stylist for Francis company. In other words, she would not only be serving him but the entire company as well.

Today, there was a retro-themed eyewear advertisement shoot for one of the artists in the company, and the location was in an area in the old town.

Since she assumed the position, Christina was assigned Penelope as her assistant, and the latter found it difficult to accept it.

Upon arriving at the set, Penelope made little effort to assist her. She spent most of her time either chatting with others or taking photographs.

After the shoot, they returned to the company in the evening.

“Please tidy up the clothes.” Christina was ready to depart to the Hadley residence to pick up the children.

“Why should I? It was you who messed up the clothes,” Penelope retorted, crossing her arms and showing no intention of taking any action.

Christina casually put the bag of clothes aside and said, “It’s up to you whether you want to tidy them up or not. My job here is done.”

She then turned around and walked out the door, leaving behind an ashen-faced Penelope and a bag of

clothes.

Christina got into the car and instructed the driver, “The Hadley residence.”

“Yes, Mrs. Hadley,” the driver responded and drove off

When Christina arrived at the Hadley residence, the two children were playing soccer in the courtyard with their grandparents.

“Mommy!” Camila and Lucas ran over when they saw Christina from a distance. They hugged her legs, their happy faces beaming with delight.

“Join us for dinner before you leave,” Julia said with a grin.

Being with her grandchildren brought her so much joy. She could not bear to part with these two adorable

little ones.

“All right, Mom,” she responded.

Nothing could escape Julia’s eyes.

Even though Julia did not live in Scenic Garden Manor, she knew Christina had a fight with Nathaniel.

As they were walking back to the house, Julia talked about random household matters before finally shifting to the topic of the couple’s relationship. “Nathaniel has always been reserved and has had difficulty expressing his emotions since childhood. But everything he does, he does it with your best interests in mind.”

Upon hearing that, Christina responded, “There are many ways to be nice to someone. Acting dominant

and selfish is not one of them”

After enduring the silent treatment for two days, the thought of divorce resurfaced in her mind

If it were not for the children’s sake, she would have already handed Nathaniel the divorce papers.

“It’s important for the husband and wife to communicate with each other. He wouldn’t know what’s on your mind if you don’t voter your dissatisfaction.” Julia said, gently patting Christina’s hand with anticipation in her eyes.

Christina bobbed her head in acknowledgment, realizing there was no need to make the elders in the family worry.

After dinner, Christina brought the children back to Scenic Garden Manor.

As soon as the butler saw Christina, he hurriedly walked up to them. “Good to have all of you home.”

Yet, his hesitant demeanor caught the attention of the two children.
