A Crazy Night Novel

“The Hadley family?” Christina, Gideon, and Miranda were equally stunned.

They gaped at the housekeeper, who added, “Mr. Nathaniel Hadley is here to escort Ms.

Steele home.” “Nathaniel Hadley?” Christina’s mouth remained agape with shock as she stared at the housekeeper for confirmation.

Alas, the housekeeper nodded in affirmation.

Damn it! Christina cursed her chatty mouth for jinxing herself.

The arranged marriage between the Steele and Hadley families lasted three years, but not a single Hadley had ever visited their home.

Now, seemingly out of nowhere, the groom himself was at the Steeles’ doorstep.

Gideon and Miranda’s shock turned to delight when they learned Nathaniel was there for Christina.

Gideon said, “Invite him in!” “I’m already here.” While Christina was still confused, a male voice drifted from outside.

The speaker sported a rich baritone and sounded self-assured yet somewhat distant at the same time.

Christina visibly stiffened when she met his gaze.
