Chapter 282 Sweet

The car made its way back to Scenic Garden Manor.

In the car, the three of them stared at each other as a heavy silence hung in the air.

Charlie let out a soft sigh. “Christina, I’m sorry for my inability to handle this situation properly.”

If I had made myself clear from the very beginning and told Linda to give up, this wouldn’t have happened to her.

Christina shook her head gently and replied, “I’m fine. Don’t tell Nathaniel about this.” Her voice remained calm.

Julia’s expression turned grave as she contemplated the consequences of Nathaniel discovering this incident. She was well aware that her son would not let the matter slide easily.

Christina is so thoughtful it makes me feel sorry for her.

“We’ll handle it. You should get some rest back at home! Julia told her.

Christina parted her lips to say, “Good night, Dad and Mom.”

She opened the door and got out of the car to head into the house.

The drug’s side effects had worn off, but Christina felt herself getting drawn to the bed.

Her mind was muddled, and her footsteps felt burdened as she made her way to the bed. Exhausted and drained, she collapsed onto the mattress, succumbing to the embrace of sleep without even realizing it.

In the middle of the night, she found herself stirring as someone called her name repeatedly.

“Christina? Christina…”

A warm breath tickled her ear, seemingly draining away the moisture in her body, leaving her feeling parched and dry.

Christina forced her eyes open and saw Nathaniel’s handsome face in front of her. His hair was wet; it seemed that he had just stepped out of the shower.

A few strands of his disheveled hair dangled above his forehead as he fixated his intense gaze on her.

His jaw tensed as he spoke, emitting an intimidating aura.
