A Crazy Night Novel

Christina sat in her seat, her vacant gaze fixated on the space ahead of her. It seemed that she had yet to regain her composure fully from the earlier shocking events.

Nathaniel gently tapped her on the shoulder. “Everything’s fine now. Don’t worry.”

As he could sense her uneasiness, he attempted to say more things to console her. “It’s inevitable for a plane to encounter strong air currents. Sometimes, one can experience two or three episodes of turbulence in a single flight.”

Fluttering her long eyelashes, Christina watched him with the curiosity of a child listening to an exciting story.

Once Nathaniel noticed her interest had been piqued, he continued, “There was another time when I was flying overseas with Sebastian for a business trip and the plane we were in encountered strong air currents, more severe than the one we experienced earlier. I remember there was a problem with the plane’s engine, and Sebastian held my hand tightly, asking me what we should do. While going through a document, I told him an airplane has two engines, and the captain would choose to dump fuel and then descend. Normally, there would be a fifty-percent chance of a safe outcome. His face turned pale after hearing what I said. It was Sebastian’s first encounter with such a critical aviation situation, and he was so frightened that he vowed that if we landed safely, he would immediately get a wife.”

Christina chuckled. “It’s truly hard to imagine someone as serious as Sebastian being in a state of panic.”

Nathaniel was relieved to see the smile on her face.

He gently stroked her head. “Get some rest. We should be arriving shortly.”

Christina was slightly resistant to his intimate gesture. She instinctively pulled back, tucking her neck and averting her gaze to the other side.

The weight of her earlier emotions had somewhat lifted, and she took the opportunity to close her eyes and rest.

Observing Christina turning her head away, Nathaniel could not help but feel a twinge of disappointment. However, he understood that rebuilding trust would require patience and time.

Being able to remain by her side and accompany her was all that mattered to him.

Half an hour later, the plane landed safely.

Nathaniel and Christina exited the aircraft together through the VIP lane and soon spotted Sebastian waiting at the gate.

Sebastian approached the duo and assisted them with their luggage, and the three of them walked out of the airport together. At the exit, Christina noticed that Nathaniel had arranged for two cars to pick them. up.
