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.

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.”

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