Chapter 494 Come To Me Anytime.
Nathaniel’s eyebrow twitched. She wants me to go back while they go on a date?
“I’ll go with you. I happen to want to try that restaurant.”
Christina was taken aback, for Nathaniel and Sheridan had mismatched personalities, akin to oil and water. If they were to have a meal together, the tension in the air would certainly be palpable!
A while later, the couple arrived at the entrance together.
Despite his composed demeanor, Sheridan was rather taken aback to see Nathaniel standing there.
“I hope you don’t mind another person joining us.” Christina chuckled in an attempt to ease the awkwardness.
Sheridan responded by flashing them a courteous smile. “Of course not. Please, get in.”
With that, he opened the door to the passenger seat.
Nathaniel’s brows furrowed, and he swiftly clasped Christina’s hand, swiftly pivoting on his heels and striding in the opposite direction. “No need. We’ll take our own vehicle.”
A tinge of tension crept into Christina’s expression. She offered a polite smile to Sheridan and suggested, “Please lead the way, and we’ll follow you.”
Having said that, she turned and glared at the man beside her, whispering. “Can’t you talk nicely?”
Nathaniel’s actions only made things awkward for everyone involved. Fortunately, Sheridan was not a petty person. Otherwise, he might have already left before they even had a chance to eat.
“What do you mean I wasn’t talking nicely? Can’t you see the way he looks at you? It’s as if he wants to swallow you whole,” Nathaniel hissed.
“He lent me a helping hand. Can you please show him some respect?” Exasperated. Christina climbed into the car and firmly shut the door behind her.
Nathaniel’s expression grew grim as he observed her forcefully shutting the door, his eyebrows furrowing in displeasure.
He merely helped you out with the accounts. Who doesn’t know how to do that?
Aware of the woman’s obvious discontent, he had no choice but to tamp down his anger and get into the driver’s seat. He then started the engine and proceeded to follow Sheridan’s vehicle.
In due time, they arrived at the restaurant. Nathaniel maintained a quiet demeanor, looking slightly displeased, but at the very least, he did not offer any offending remarks.
-During the meal, only Christina and Sheridan were chatting away. However, when it came almost time to
pay the bill, Nathaniel’s phone rang, and he excused himself to take the call.
Hence, when the bill came, Christina jumped at the opportunity to pay, only to be stopped by Sheridan.
“How can I let you pay? You’ve been such great help to me, after all. Why don’t you let me treat you to a
meal?” Christina could not help but sigh as she watched Sheridan hand the waiter money.
“You’ll have the chance to treat me to a meal next time.” Sheridan grinned, exuding an air of elegance. He paused for a moment before continuing, “I didn’t know you two are back together.”
Watching Christina and Nathaniel interact reminded him of a new couple whose romance was just budding
The woman’s face reddened in embarrassment. She and Nathaniel had had their fair share of arguments and was even on the brink of divorce at some point. However, after going through a series of events, they were bound together, tighter than ever.
“Well, I hope it won’t happen again.” Truth be told, Christina wasn’t certain if it was possible for her and Nathaniel. She was merely going with what her heart yearned for.
Since we didn’t separate after all that we’ve been through, perhaps we’re fated to be together.
Sheridan flashed her a smile. “I wish you two a happily ever after. If he doesn’t treat you well… you can come to me anytime.”
Christina’s eyes widened in shock, leaving her momentarily speechless. She was at a loss for words, unsure of how to respond to his unexpected statement.
Just then, Nathaniel returned from outside, having ended the call. “Can we leave now?”
“You guys go ahead. I feel bloated from all the food. I might go on a walk to relieve it,” said Sheridan.
“All right. Let’s meet again soon.” Christina rose from her seat and beamed at him.
Nathaniel gently held her hand as they made their way out of the restaurant together, a sense of urgency in his movements and voice. “The kids are rushing us to head back. We should hurry,” he said.
On their way back, he asked with feigned indifference. “What did he say to you while I was gone?”
