A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 555

Chapter 555 Single People Have Their Dreams Too

Christina came to her senses abruptly. “I almost forgot in my excitement. Mr. Taggart, rest well. Nathaniel, Lucas, and I will go back first. We’ll come to see you another day.”

Sebastian felt relieved. The atmosphere in the hospital room was too awkward, and for the first time, he wished Christina and Nathaniel would leave quickly. “Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Hadley, for your concern.”

Lucas wanted to say something more, but Christina and Nathaniel took him away.

The three of them got into the car before Christina grabbed Nathaniel’s hand. Leaning closer, she asked, “Nathaniel, were you jealous just now?”

Nathaniel replied seriously, “No, why do you ask?”

Christina smiled and leaned into Nathaniel’s embrace, whispering, “You’re lying. You were holding my hand so hard in the hospital room that it hurt. There’s nothing between Mr. Taggart and me. You’re just too sensitive. Your jealousy will be the death of you.”

Nathaniel’s possessiveness and dominating behavior were only directed toward Christina. He didn’t like it when she got too close to other men.

Nathaniel lifted her hand and carefully inspected each finger, asking, “Where did it hurt?”

Christina playfully shook her head. “I lied earlier. You can’t punish me. We’re even now.”

Nathaniel smiled indulgently made a soft sound of agreement.

Lucas looked at his parents, who were whispering to each other. He caught a few wo squeezed his chubby body between them. Then, he climbed to the spot beside Natha Curiously, he asked, “What does it mean to be jealous?”

Christina and Nathaniel exchanged a glance, then Christina pinched Lucas’ nose, saying, “That’s an adult topic. Children shouldn’t be curious about it.”

“Oh.” Lucas nodded as if he understood and took out some candy from his pocket before handing it to Nathaniel. “Daddy, you can have my candy. Don’t be jealous. I think jealousy won’t taste as good as candy.”

Nathaniel was visibly taken aback for a moment. Then, he scooped Lucas into his arms with a pleased smile tugging at his lips. “Clever little rascal, where did you learn these tricks to please people?”

He put the candy away by placing it in his suit pocket.

Lucas giggled mischievously and looked up at Nathaniel with innocent eyes. “Whenever Mr. Taggart upsets Ms. Lesley, he gives her candy to make her happy. I even saw them kissing.”

Children often spoke their minds without reservations. Christina had known there was something between Sebastian and Victoria, but she didn’t expect things to progress so quickly.

Nathaniel furrowed his brows slightly. “Lucas, you’re still a child. You mustn’t imitate them. Some things are only meant for when you grow up. Do you understand?”

Lucas nodded again. “I understand, Daddy.”

Nathaniel ruffled his son’s hair in response.

Soon, the car arrived at the Hadley residence. After the door opened, Lucas ran toward the mansion like an unleashed wild horse. “Grandpa, Grandma, Camila, I’m back!”

Christina and Nathaniel followed behind while exchanging a helpless smile.

“Nathaniel, I want to prepare a wedding gift for Mr. Taggart and Victoria. What do you think?” Christina had a feeling that with the way things were progressing, Sebastian and Victoria’s wedding would be soon.

“You decide. I don’t have anything in mind.” Even if Christina didn’t mention it, Nathaniel would reward Sebastian when the time came.

Christina gently grasped Nathaniel’s arm and said with excitement, “I haven’t got a either. I’ll let you know when I figure it out.” clue yet,
