Chapter 511 Let Us Sleep
Ever since Madison was banned from entering Scenic Garden Manor, the Hadley family’s bodyguards. started paying more attention to the woman.
Every time she came, she would be stopped outside. The bodyguards would not let her take even a step into the compound.
“Ms. Taggart, it’s late. What can I help you with?”
Right as Madison was staring at the gates of Scenic Garden Manor in melancholy and reminiscing about the time she could go through those gates without anyone stopping her, Christina appeared.
Her icy voice snapped Madison out of her train of thought.
Madison turned to glance at Christina, who was donning a pink spaghetti-strapped nightgown with a cardigan. Her attire complemented her figure.
Then, when Madison saw Christina’s youthful looks, she could not help but feel jealous.
She wondered if Christina would have fallen asleep in Nathaniel’s arms now if she had been a little later.
The thought of Nathaniel hugging Christina to sleep made the jealousy in her grow to the point she scrunched her face in fury.
The abrupt change of expression on the silent Madison’s face was a little creepy.
Christina frowned and uttered, “If there isn’t anything you want, I’ll be going back inside.”
Hearing that, Madison jolted back to her senses. For the sake of her plan, she forced away the thoughts of murdering Christina. “Christina! This is the evidence of Anya trying to hurt you.”
As she spoke, she took out a flash drive and passed it to Christina.
“What the hell do you want?” Christina asked. Instead of taking the flash drive, she stared intently at Madison.
She was hoping to read Madison’s mind and find out what nefarious plans the latter had, but besides the frenzy look in Madison’s eyes, she saw nothing else.
“I just hope you’ll make a dress for me,” Madison said, curling her red lips.
“That’s all?”
“Yes.” Madison shoved the flash drive into Christina’s hands as if Christina had already agreed to her request. “My engagement is on the fifteenth of the next month.”
Christina watched Madison drive off as she held onto the flash drive tightly. Alarm bells were ringing in her head.
“Why does she want from you?” Nathaniel, who was leaning against the headboard and reading a magazine, asked when Christina came back to the room.
Christina turned to look at him. Nathaniel had put on a pair of frameless glasses, and his black hair was softly resting on his forehead.
There were a few buttons on his nightshirt unbuttoned, revealing his fair skin.
It was a seductive sight she could barely resist.
Christina gulped. A beat later, she finally said, “Madison’s going to get engaged soon. Did you know about that?”
Nathaniel raised a brow. “I don’t.”
Noticing that the surprise on Nathaniel’s face did not seem faked, Christina bit her lower lip and asked. “Why don’t you know about it? Did she not tell you anything?”
Nathaniel immediately realized that Christina was trying to trick him into admitting something. “Why should I? Why would she tell me about it?”
Those two questions stopped Christina from continuing her plans to stir up chaos.
No longer interested in that topic, Christina climbed onto the bed and showed Nathaniel the flash drive.
She told him about Madison’s request.
Nathaniel was quiet for a while. “You don’t need to accept it if you don’t want to.”
He had more than enough ways to deal with Anya.
“No, I’ll be accepting this.” Christina was keen. The more secretive Madison was, the more she wanted to find out what was going on..
Nathaniel cast Christina a loving gaze before answering, “Sure. You have my support for any decision you
make.”
