A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 547

Chapter 547 You Are My Home

Although Christina was anxious to find the mastermind behind the incident, she was not a reckless person.

If Anya were the real culprit, she would have a backup plan since she dared to do such a thing. The Gibson family would never let it slide if we went to catch Anya without solid evidence. Maybe the Gibson family had been scheming something during this period when they were behaving themselves.

Christina did not want Nathaniel to put himself at risk.

“Nathaniel, no matter what schemes and plots the Gibson family throws our way in the future, you don’t need to let yourself and the Hadley family get treated unfairly for my sake.” Christina snuggled into Nathaniel’s arms. She was disappointed with the Gibson family. “To me, home is where you and the kids are.”

What Christina gave was not just a promise but also unconditional trust toward Nathaniel.

Nathaniel’s lips curved into a smile as he replied, “Okay. I know what I should do. Christina, thank you for entrusting yourself to me.”

Christina looked up and pecked the corner of Nathaniel’s lips. Her smile mirrored his delighted one as she giggled. “Silly. We’re husband and wife. Who should I trust if not you?”

Nathaniel felt his heart skip a beat. He held the back of Christina’s head and pulled her in for a passionate kiss. Unfortunately, they were interrupted by a knock on the door.

Nathaniel’s expression turned grim when their alone time was cut abruptly.

Christina wrapped her arms around his neck and pecked his lips before she backed away. “We’ve got all the time in the world. I’ll make it up to you slowly in the future.”

Nathaniel felt comforted. A confident glint flashed across his dark obsidian-like eyes. “Remember what you said. Don’t you dare think of using money to shoo me away later on.”

He had stuffed the money from before into the bottom drawer of his study table. Out of sight, out of mind. He would not use the money since he had earned it by himself.

Christina beamed and nodded. “I know. I’ll increase your ‘salary’ depending on your performance.”

Finally satisfied, Nathaniel let go of Christina and said to the person outside in a deep voice, “Come in.”

Sebastian pushed open the door and entered. Little did he know that he had narrowly escaped Nathaniel’s wrath.

However, the aura that Nathaniel emanated was too domineering and assertive. Sebastian still felt overwhelmed by the tension in the air.

Compared to him, Christina was clearly more approachable. “Mr. Taggart, what’s the matter? Why are you looking for Nathaniel?”

Sebastian stared at Nathaniel, seeking permission to speak. When Nathaniel nodded, Sebastian replied, “Madison is dead.”

Christina was taken aback to hear such shocking and sudden news.

Nathaniel scrunched his eyebrows into a frown and asked, “How did she die?”

Madison no longer had any value to him, so he locked her in a mental hospital to torture her. He did it to take revenge for Christina. He did not care at all about Madison’s life or death.

However, he felt it was strange that Madison died at that juncture.

“She received a violent blow to the head. A protruding nail on the window caused the fatal wound,” Sebastian answered. “After that, the mental hospital called the police to take care of the matter. The forensic report shows that Madison had fought with someone before she died. The crime scene had been scrupulously handled, but the surveillance cameras were broken. The preliminary suspicion of her death is murder.”

Murder! Who the heck killed Madison? Why did they kill her?

Christina’s head ached as she absorbed the information from Sebastian and tried to come up with theories.

Nathaniel noticed her unusual behavior and reached forward to massage her temples. “Stop thinking about it. Leave the investigation to the police. This has nothing to do with either of

Christina looked into his eyes. Stubborn, she asked, “Do you think it could’ve been Anya who did it?”
