The worried Nathaniel ran up to her. “Christina, listen to me.”
“I don’t want to! Your actions speak louder than your words.”
As Christina glowered at him, the look in her eyes resembled a shattered mirror where a whole reflection
would never form.
Nathaniel had never felt so pathetic before, as he didn’t know what to say to assuage her anger.
The few seconds of silence felt like an eternity to him.
With an expression that was as icy as a frozen lake in winter, Christina turned around and stormed off to
the hotel.
She couldn’t believe how she was played by Nathaniel like an idiot.
As Nathaniel followed quietly behind her, he maintained a cold yet intent stare on her slender silhouette.
Once Christina returned to the hotel and walked into her room, she slammed the door shut behind her.
Inside, she took out two bottles of cold mineral water and finally calmed herself down after gulping them down.
Even though the current situation simply felt awful to her, Lucas and Camila were still waiting for her return at Scenic Garden Manor. Not wanting to waste any more time. Christina packed her bags and opened the door.
Standing there was a towering figure whose muscular chest was so wide that it blocked the entire entrance.
Nathaniel had put his face mask back on, leaving only his eyes exposed. He stood there motionless, just
like a statue.
In fact, he didn’t dare move aside for fear that Christina would disappear in an instant, a repeat of what happened four years ago.
The fleetingness of how she came and went was a bane to his sense of security.
When Christina noticed his empty hands, she figured that he didn’t return to his room to pack. Even if I were a prisoner, there’s no need to watch me so closely.
From her perspective, she was treated worse than one.
With her luggage in tow, Christina walked past Nathaniel and ran the wheels of her bag over his shoe as if to demonstrate the dissatisfaction within her.
Upon arriving at the airport, both of them boarded the plane after going through the security check.
Each of them took seats as far from each other as possible-one in the extreme front and the other in the last row behind.
Christina always stood out from the crowd wherever she went.
Having secured a window seat, she looked out at the clouds that dotted the clear blue sky. The manner in which she gazed out the window had a therapeutic effect on anyone who saw her.
As the rolling clouds were only separated from her by a glass window, she felt as if she could touch their softness simply by reaching out with her hand.
Once she had enough of the scenery, Christina closed her eyes to get some sleep.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel had his eye on her the entire time. After watching her fall asleep, he got the flight attendant to get him a blanket.
Subsequently, he walked over and gently covered her with it.
With her head tilted to the side while she was sleeping soundly, her disarming beauty was accentuated by the sunlight that illuminated her face. The slight curl on her lips would melt the hearts of anyone who saw her.
However, if one were to assume she didn’t have a temper just from her demure appearance, one would be making a big mistake.
When it came to it, she could be as stubborn as a mule.
The thought of how their recent reconciliation was now ruined filled Nathaniel with frustration.
Instead of returning to his seat, he sat down beside Christina, separated by the aisle.
It wasn’t until a long while later that Nathaniel closed his eyes after going through a document on his phone.
All of a sudden, both of them were jolted awake by the air turbulence the flight went through.
After having her head smashed onto her seat repeatedly. Christina caught her breath to steel herself through the pain.
