Nathaniel’s eyes darkened as he took in the serious expression on Christina’s face
Silence ensured, drowning out all sound.
Sebastian broke into a cold sweat as he piped up. “Mrs. Hadley, you’ve misunderstood. The piece of land that Mr Hadley is interested in has been taken away by Taggart Group Madison is using it to seek cooperation with Hadley Corporation. The negotiation is still up in the air Mr. Hadley hasn’t decided anything yet.”
Christina frowned slightly. “So you met up with Madison last night for this?”
They met up for work matters?
Before Nathaniel could say anything, Sebastian hurriedly said, “We didn’t call her over last night. She came with the rest of the real estate agents. Mr. Hadley didn’t meet her one-on-one.”
Sebastian was like a cat on a hot thin roof.
Mr. Hadley is so slow-spoken. He is only going to make Mrs. Hadley misunderstand. If they break into a fight, I’m the one who ends up suffering.
It’s as he said,” Nathaniel said.
He didn’t know that Madison would show up too.
Christina fell into silence again. What should I do? Looks like I’ve misunderstood him.
With her eyes glistening, she secretly took a look at the cold and handsome face in front of her. “How am I supposed to know? You didn’t even make yourself clear…”
Why is he acting mysterious? This is clearly his fault.
Nathaniel raised his brows slightly. “I wasn’t even given a chance to explain.”
She started blaming me as soon as she entered.
Judging from his past experiences, Sebastian had a hunch that something was going to happen between them. “Mr. Hadley, I have a few more documents to deal with, so I’ll get going first.”
He left and closed the door right after he finished speaking.
The air was still again.
Christina flashed an embarrassed smile. “The misunderstanding has been cleared up. Everything is fine
now.”
Her innocent eyes seemed to have the power to melt anything, including Nathaniel’s heart.
“How did you know I met Madison yesterday?” Nathaniel’s voice was calm. His anger had dissipated.
Christina pouted. “Yerek came to see me last night. He even showed me a photo of the two of you.”
She felt uncomfortable thinking about the photo.
Nathaniel narrowed his eyes The air around him turned cold. “Why didn’t you ask me about it?”
Christina could sense that he was angry from his questioning tone.
She flinched, not sure what she had done to tick him off “Perhaps you didn’t want me to know, which was why you didn’t say anything. That, or because it wasn’t important.”
“It indeed wasn’t important. But as my wife, shouldn’t you ask for an explanation when you see such a photo?” Nathaniel grew all the more livid as he spoke,
He had thought their relationship had gotten better. However, it seemed to be the same for Christina. She didn’t care about him at all. She couldn’t be bothered to know who he was with or why he was late for the date. When he thought of this, he felt as if a heavy rock had landed on his heart.
He’s blaming me now? At once, Christina’s temper sparked. “What do you want me to do, then? You said you were having a meeting. If I asked anything more, you would only find me annoying.”
It was still the same. They would still get into an argument at the drop of a hat.
Even if there weren’t external factors, they would still get into a fight.
Tension started to grow in the atmosphere as they engaged in a round of staredown.
