Chapter 619 Tolerant
Instead of feeling excited and moved, Christina was unfazed when she heard those words. In fact, she e felt uneasy.
Right when Christina was about to utter something in response, Sheridan defused the tension by saying in a joking manner, “Don’t misunderstand me. I merely missed you as a friend. You’re the only friend who I can talk to openly. Hence, I’ll cherish our relationship.”
Christina gladly took the opportunity to get out of the awkward situation. “It’s my honor to be such a special friend of yours, Mr. Stone.”
“I’ll be going to Gibson Corporation tomorrow. While I’m there, I’ll send you a gift. Christina, treat it as a kind gesture and don’t reject it, okay?”
Even if Christina wanted to, she couldn’t reject his gift because Sheridan was one of the top three major shareholders in the company. I’ll eventually need to name my price if I want to regain all the shares.
“All right. See you tomorrow,” Christina answered.
For some reason, Christina felt as though Sheridan’s mood had improved massively after he heard what she said. novelxo.com fast update
“I’m looking forward to see you tomorrow. Goodnight, Christina,” he said.
“Goodnight.”
Coincidentally, Nathaniel was exiting the bathroom, so he heard Christina saying goodnight to someone on the phone.
Angered, he approached her and pretended to ask casually, “Who’s calling you this late at night?”
Christina didn’t sense his jealousy, so she replied, “That was Sheridan. He’s meeting me at Gibson Corporation tomorrow because he said he wanted to send me a gift.”
A strong wave of jealousy surged within Nathaniel, and he sneered. “He’s good at flirting, isn’t he?”
Finally, Christina realized what was going on. Amused, she explained, “Mrs. Lazuli was the one who arranged my blind date with him back then, and that happened so long ago. Sheridan had helped me quite a lot, so we’re friends. Don’t be too harsh on him, okay?”
Nathaniel’s expression darkened as he walked toward the countertop to pour himself a glass of wine before downing it. Seeing that, Christina immediately went up to him and snatched the bottle of wine
away.
“How are you going to get on the flight to Jadeborough on time if you drink like that? Please take care of your health,” she urged.
In response, Nathaniel stared at her and fumed, “There’s no such thing as a platonic relationship between men and women. He’s definitely into you. How could you ask me to not be harsh on a man who’s after you? How am I supposed to tolerate that?”
Only then did Christina know how much it bothered him. “Nathaniel, I swear there’s nothing fishy going
on between Sheridan and me.” In a serious tone, she continued, “I’ll interact with him, but it’s purely work. I need to take back his shares in Gibson Corporation as soon as possible.”
Nathaniel became domineering and uttered, “I can afford to buy the shares from him!”
“What if he says no? Are you going to have a fallout with him?” Christina frowned, “I don’t want you to put your life at risk for me all the time. Now, we don’t know about the deal between Sheridan and Nigel. 1 need to make sure they don’t link up and come after us.”
Although Christina was grateful for Sheridan’s help, she couldn’t trust him because Nigel was a descendant of the Stone family.
With that, Christina hugged Nathaniel and uttered softly, “Nathaniel, I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
