Chapter 505 Unexpected Guest
“A penny for your thoughts.”
Nathaniel came home from kindergarten to see Christina spacing out in the study. She didn’t even realize he had come in.
He strode over to gather her into his arms, snapping her out of her reverie. Flashing an awkward smile, she responded, “Nothing much. I was thinking about how reckless I was.”
Nathaniel rested his chin on her shoulder and inhaled deeply, taking in the fragrance of her hair. “Hmm? For example?” he asked nonchalantly.
“For example, when I found out about my biological parents, I didn’t take the time to think it through and ended up lashing out at you. I wasn’t calm or rational at that moment. But now, upon reflection, I realize that I only heard one side of the story and didn’t consider the peculiar coincidences,” she confessed.
Deep down. Nathaniel was pleased to hear that. He comforted her. “It’s fine. We’re married, so it’s only right that you vent your frustration at me. I’m your husband, after all.”
“Thank you, Nathaniel.” Christina turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Nathaniel arched his brow. “Just a simple thank you?”
Christina pondered over it before standing on tiptoes to give him a light peck on his lips.
She was about to inch away when Nathaniel pulled her closer and deepened the kiss.
“No,” Christina rejected softly when she sensed he was about to go to second base.
Her coy voice merely served to heighten Nathaniel’s desire. His voice was hoarse as he said, “I want…”
Christina was pinned to the desk, the warm sunlight bathing her body in a gentle glow.
Her skin appeared luminous and ethereal in the light, reminding Nathaniel of an angelic being.
“Christina, you’re gorgeous.”
Christina gazed at him, feeling her heart skip a beat.
Knock, knock!
They were about to proceed when someone knocked on the door.
“Mr. and Mrs. Hadley, Mr. Taggart is here,” Raymond reported.
Christina promptly regained her composure and struggled to sit up, but Nathaniel didn’t move an inch.
He furrowed his brows in displeasure and snapped, “Let him wait!”
Following his roar, not a sound was heard outside.
“I… don’t think that’s a good idea.” Having calmed down, Christina offered him some advice. “Sebastian

must have come here with something important to tell you.”
Nathaniel carried her elsewhere. “I don’t care. All I want is to be with you right now.”
No one could truly comprehend the depth of Nathaniel’s emotions as Christina had left him multiple
times.
The experiences had left him burdened with insecurities, causing a significant transformation from his former self.
Even Christina struggled to understand how the once arrogant man had become so clingy.
However, Nathaniel wasn’t about to let her continue talking.
It was one hour later when they finally walked out of the study. Christina’s clothes were crumpled, so she headed back to her room to get changed.
Nathaniel descended the stairs and found Sebastian waiting for him in the living room. Upon seeing him, Sebastian handed him a document. “Mr. Hadley, the Gibson family sent us a lawyer’s letter. They want to sue us for breach of contract.”
Nathaniel skimmed through the letter and nonchalantly discarded it. Raising a brow, he replied, “Let them sue us. Hadley Corporation will stand its ground and fight until the very end.”
