Chapter 175 Threaten

Christina blinked. “I would like that.”

“Let’s go, then.” Nathaniel said.

Noticing the exchange, Sebastian felt a tinge of admiration.

Mr. Hadley did not want to go just a second ago. A mere word from Mrs. Hadley was sufficient to change his mind. Nobody spoils their wife as he does.

Madison, too, managed to deduce the reason. “I’ll make the reservations,” she said with a small smile.

Later that evening, the four of them were seated in a private room.

The table was filled with various delicacies, many of which Christina had never seen before.

Curious about the new, unfamiliar food, she ate most of it.

Halfway through, Madison ordered the manager to open a bottle of red wine. “You must try the wine. here, Mrs. Hadley. It’s sweet and tangy.”

She poured Christina a glass as she spoke.

Although she was not particularly fond of drinking, Christina did not decline the offer. After a few sips, she found it delectable.

Madison poured her another glass, smiling as she did so. “You must not drink very often, Mrs. Hadley.”

“Almost never,” Christina admitted.

Madison smirked. One who does not drink often will behave most interestingly when drunk.

Suddenly, she was seized by an impulse to see Christina drunk.

After several glasses, Christina began to feel dizzy.

Intoxication by wines of that nature would start off slow as the aftereffects built up into a powerful kick.

She sipped less than half of another glass, then handed Nathaniel the rest. “I can’t drink–hic–anymore.”
