A Crazy Night Novel

Madison’s face tightened into a forced smile. “I’m only here as a friend. Does my presence pose a threat to you?”

That only applies to enemies. Your presence isn’t powerful enough yet.” Christina’s gaze had a tinge of iciness, expressing the indifference on her face.

Nathaniel wrapped an arm around her slim waist and gently pulled her into his embrace. As a result, she fell naturally into his lap and leaned against his chest.

“Are you hungry? Have some,” prompted Nathaniel while lifting the bowl of soup to feed her.

Watching Christina being fed the lunch she prepared with care sent a rush of resentment into Madison’s heart. Even breathing became a chore to her.

“It tastes okay, but it doesn’t suit my taste. Why don’t we go to a restaurant instead?” Christina wiped the corners of her mouth.

Nathaniel’s eyes lit up as if he had heard a piece of good news. He put the bowl down and walked toward the door with Christina’s hand in his.

The moment the door was opened, Sebastian, who had been standing guard outside, came into sight.

“Clean up the office, and don’t simply let anyone enter in the future,” ordered Nathaniel before marching away with Christina.

Madison clenched her fists. It would be a lie if she said the scene did not hurt her pride.

When the couple arrived at the underground parking lot, Christina was placed into the passenger seat.

As Nathaniel was afraid that she might escape, he pressed on her shoulder while fastening her seatbelt. “Where shall we eat?” he asked when he got into the driver’s seat.

Christina merely made that suggestion to provoke Madison. Never did the former expect him to take her words seriously.

“Anything. You decide.”

Nathaniel grunted in acknowledgment and drove the car out of the parking lot.

The weather that day was pretty splendid as rays of sunlight that had a tint of warmth shone through the windows.

Christina rolled down the window, allowing the breeze to rush in and flutter her lustrous hair. Her dark eyes carried a dazed look as she stared at the scenery.
