A Night To Remember novel (Diane and Norman) novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15 What Does a Man Like in a Woman?

That commanding tone of his from earlier was still fresh in her mind, but now, he had showed up right in front of her not even an hour after their phone call. Diane was quite surprised to see him.

“Why are you here?”

“I was just passing by.”

Christopher’s eyes were emotionless as usual; as he frowned, he looked toward the fire department and security guards who were busy with the incident. He then said impatiently, “You’re fine, right? Let’s go.”

Without a second’s delay, he turned around and started walking away. Diane hastily thanked her lifesavers and followed after him.

They arrived home without exchanging a single word on the road. In addition to that, it was her first time seeing Christopher at night after their unanticipated marriage. Diane’s heart sped up at the thought of it, and she was feeling more nervous than she was back when she had been trapped in the elevator.

“Um… Thanks for coming. I’m going upstairs.”

She blurted her thanks rapidly like a guilty thief before rushing toward the staircase with her head lowered.

To her surprise, the moment she rushed past Christopher, his hand locked onto her wrist—the inertia of the impulse sent her crashing into the man’s arms.

At the same time, a sweet and pleasant scent hit her nose; she was momentarily stuck in a daze.

It’s… the scent of a woman’s perfume.

“Were you really working overtime until over 10.00PM? Do you think you live in a hotel, Diane? Is this a place where you come and go as you please?”

Christopher questioned her fiercely with an accusing tone; his eyes were sharp with hostility as they bored into her. His fingertips rested against her pulse on her wrist, and she felt her arm go numb all of a sudden.

The thought of the perfume on his clothes still lingered in her mind; since she couldn’t break free from his hold, she leaned in and took a sniff.

“How about you, Mr. Wayne? As a married man yourself, which strip club did you grace your presence with tonight?”

“Are you trying to teach me a lesson?”
