A Crazy Night Novel

“Didn’t I tell you not to follow me?” Christina knitted her brows. The reddened mark left by the tight grip on her porcelain-white wrist was easily noticeable.

When Nathaniel held up her hand to take a closer look, his eyes-hidden behind his sunglasses- brimmed with sympathy

As one of her fringes fell to her cheeks from behind her ear, she looked like a lost pet that was perpetually in need of protection.

Faced with his silence, Christina couldn’t bring herself to reprimand him any further.

Thus, she retracted her hand and remarked, “I’m fine. Let’s head back now.”

She was worried that Nathaniel would go off and confront Francis instead.

However, before they could get far, Francis came up from behind and yelled for them to stop.

He then grabbed Christina by the wrist. “Christina, we aren’t done talking yet.”

“I don’t think there’s anything more for us to talk about. I just want to go home.” When Christina struggled to free her hand, she felt another painful sting on her wrist.

Meanwhile, Francis glared at the towering figure in front of him. He somehow found the aura exuded by: the young man to be familiar.

“Christina, how can you accept Nathaniel’s repeated lies yet be unwilling to forgive me?” Raging jealousy had caused Francis’ blood to boil.

If Christina refuses to forgive me, what makes Nathaniel, who started all this, deserving of her forgiveness? If that’s the case, I’ll make all of us suffer together.

Underneath the light, his pale white complexion made him look sickly, while the amber tint in his seemed to be burning through the last of his rational mind.

Christina gave him a puzzled look. “Why do you say that Nathaniel has lied to me repeatedly?”

At that moment, Nathaniel figured that Francis had seen through his disguise.

Under those circumstances, it made sense for Francis to probe further, even if the bodyguard wasn’t Nathaniel.
