Seeing that the crowd was dispersing, Christina immediately tried to call them back. “I’m not his wife. I…”
Nathaniel raised his hand and pinched her chin. “Darling, stop fooling around. I’ll bring you out again tomorrow, okay?”

Despite being in public, he directly locked her thin lips with his to stop her from saying anything more.
Christina was stunned.
With her hands held tightly by him, she had no choice but to accept the kiss reluctantly. It was supposed to be romantic, but the way they did it seemed like they were having a fight with each other.
Only after the surrounding onlookers went away did Nathaniel enter the elevator with her in his arm.
In the elevator, Christina was a lot quieter. Nathaniel thought she had accepted the fate that she could
never escape.
When the elevator stopped on the twentieth floor, Christina finally had a trace of emotion on her calm face.
Although she seemed composed, Nathaniel didn’t let his guard down along the way. His grip on her kept tightening.
It wasn’t until the door was shut that Christina withdrew her fair hand from his palmh; her wrist was red. “What is it that you need to let me go?” She sounded depressed.
That surprisingly made Nathaniel feel that he was a heinous person.
In the past four years, whenever he received any news about Christina, he would put down his work and
rush over at once.
As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would never give up.
Lowering his head, he snickered and loosened his tie in frustration.
“Didn’t I say it just now? You’re going to pay back for aborting my child.”
Nathaniel moved closer to her, resembling a fierce beast that was cornering its prey. The atmosphere gradually became oppressive as his hot and heavy breath enveloped her like danger was approaching.
Nathaniel scooped her up and threw her onto the bed.
Christina felt her head spin. Before she could recover from the shock, the light in front of her had been blocked completely.
Nathaniel’s cold and handsome face filled her sight. When he caught a sniff of her fragrance that he had been longing for, his eyes glinted. “I remembered that there were two, so you would have to give me back. four!TM
“Rascal! What do you take me as?””Christina panicked, her eyes widening. She pounded hard on his chest, trying to push him away.
Right then, Christina’s phone that fell out of her coat rang.
When she spared it a glance, her heart skipped a beat. She couldn’t conceal the panic on her face.
Nathaniel frowned slightly. “Why are you so nervous?”
He let go of Christina and picked up the phone at the foot of the bed. The moment his eyes fell on it, his gaze darkened.
Sweetheart?
“Give it back to me!” Christina tensed and immediately shot up from the bed.
However, she was way too short. She was nowhere close to snatching her phone back.
Nathaniel held her tightly in his arms, not giving her a chance to move around. Then, he answered the call and turned on the speaker.
“Hello?” His voice was cold.
Christina fixed her eyes on the phone, breaking into a cold sweat. She felt like her heart had nearly stopped.
Please don’t say anything. Please…
After a moment of silence, the voice of a mature man came through from the other line. “Christina, didn’t your show end a long time ago? Why aren’t you back yet?”
