A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48 How About Moving Back

Christina felt as though ice had encased her entire body, the cold engulfing her from head to toe.

Naturally, I’d never forget that the two families had a business deal back then. We agreed that I was to leave once the time is up. All this while, I’d always remembered my place, never once harboring any thought of getting involved with Nathaniel….

Upon hearing no retort from her. Julia instantly knew that she had hit a sore spot. “Remember your identity. I don’t mind even if you have some kind of intimate relationship with Nathaniel

Christina blanched further.

Accordingly, Julia’s voice turned even harsher. “However, I can also tell you this clearly-as long as remain part of the Hadley family, you can forget about becoming my daughter-in-law. To me, you’re merely an ornament. I bought for show. When the time comes. I’ll throw you away. An ornament will forever be an ornament You’re too naive if you actually think you’d earn a place in the Hadley famil

Never would I allow a girl without any statue or family background to marry into the Hadley far

Taking Christina’s hand. Nathaniel hid her behind him. “That’s my business. I’ll also tell you this clearly—I’ll never divorce Christina! So long as I remain part of the Hadley family, she will be my

wife

It was supposed to be a sweet and romantic morning, but it had turned into a battlefield after the whole debacle

Christina’s fingertips were cold from distress, and she quietly retracted her hand from the man’s grip “Im going to work”

She wanted to leave in her pajamas, but it went without saying that Nathaniel did not allow it. He grabbed her hand. “Go out, Mom”

Julia had said everything she wanted to say and attained her goal, so she knew it was pointless for her

to stay

Harrumphing at Christina, she strolled out of the room.

When the door slammed shut. Nathaniel grasped Christina’s hands in anguish. “Don’t bother About my mother. You know I don’t share her sentiments.”

Christina’s mind was buzzing her thoughts a jumbled mess

I should’ve long since known my place. But all the time I spent with Nathaniel recently made that slip my mind. “I’m about to be late for work”

T

Withdrawing her hand from his, she went to the bathroom to change

When she went downstairs, she did not even bother having breakfast Noticing her grun expression, Nathamel did not force the issue He had the driver send her to work

After arriving at the other, Christina could not really register what exactly her team leader and during

the meeting in the morning.

At noon, a courier staff delivered a box to her. It was the latest phone.

Winout even thinking about it, she knew that it was from Nathaniel.

She initially wanted to turn it down arrogantly, but she suddenly remembered that she had little money left after paying her mother’s hospitalization fees, and it was exceedingly inconvenient to be without a phone when she was living in such a fast-paced city.

Mere moments after she had received the phone, Nathaniel called. Only then did she realize that a SIM card had already been installed in it.

“Since you didn’t eat anything in the morning, come to my company at noon.” Nathaniel’s voice was a touch hoarse.

At once, Christina made up an excuse and declined. “I need to work overtime at noon.

“Then, I’ll go and look for you instead.” Nathaniel was seemingly determined to have lunch with her.

Glancing at the location, Christina discovered that the two companies were actually pretty close. “I’ll go

over.”

“Okay.”

On the other end of the phone, Nathaniel hung up in gratification.

When it was time for lunch, Christina hurriedly left the office after packing her things.

By the time she arrived at Hadley Corporation, Nathaniel had already informed the receptionist about her visit. For that reason, she made it to the floor where the CEO’s office was located without a hitch.

The place was even more high-end than Radiant Corporation. As the cold shadows were reflected onto the long corridor, they gave off a sense of desolation.

Sebastian led Christina in.

It was her first time visiting Nathaniel’s office. A large and sleek desk occupied the space, and every single ornament was beyond exquisite.

One could tell that he had impeccable taste.

When she walked into the room, Nathaniel was still looking at documents. The instant he heard footsteps, he casually placed the documents down.

He lifted his handsome face. Beneath his sharp brows were a pair of bright ebony eyes. Regretfully, his features lent him an air of chilliness. He had a high nose bridge and thin lips that formed an icy arc. On top of that, his tightly clenched jaw gave off a haughty sense of aloofness.

Leaving the room, Sebastian closed the door behind him.

Nathaniel pinned his eyes on her, the corners of his mouth curling a fraction. “Come here.”

Christina walked over to him. The air-conditioning in the office was very low, and it was making her freeze.

Grabbing her hand, Nathaniel exerted slight strength and yanked her into his embrace.

He studied her profile with a scorching gaze, finding every part of her lovely and pleasing to the

eye.

Subsequently, he rested his chin on her shoulder as though he needed some comfort in his weariness from work. “Are you hungry?”

As Christina had not eaten anything in the morning, she was indeed hungry. “Yeah.”

Nathaniel inhaled the fragrance emanating off her. “I’ve instructed Sebastian to make the arrangements. Right now, let’s have some dessert first.”

Before Christina could make any sense of his meaning, he had already captured her lips.

She wanted to rebuff him, but her hands unconsciously rested against his neck. The two of them kissed until Sebastian knocked on the door.

It was not until then that Nathaniel let go of her reluctantly. He dragged her to the conference room

for lunch.

He chose not to eat in the office because he disliked the lingering smell of food.

There was a long black table made of polished marble in the conference room, so he did not have to worry about scratching it.

To Christina’s surprise, the conference room appeared to have been temporarily converted into a mini restaurant, complete with all the equipment needed to cook.
