A Crazy Night Novel

Even from a distance, one could feel the chilling atmosphere emanating from inside the car.

“Come on, get in,” Christina urged Rayne.

She did not want to keep the man in the car waiting.

“It’s okay. I’ve booked a cab. You can leave first.” Rayne opened the door for Christina to get in before staying away from the vehicle.

The journey back home was marked by silence inside the car.

“You came to pick me up on purpose?” Christina asked in a relaxed tone.

“Yeah. I was passing by anyway.” Nathaniel replied flatly, his eyes darkening slightly as he looked at the photos on the tablet.

Sebastian’s lips twitched. Passing by? We clearly took a detour to come here!

A heavy atmosphere permeated the car. The man’s sandalwood scent blended with the cool air, creating an enchanting ambiance.

“I was impressed by what you did earlier,” Nathaniel said with a smirk, his eyes enigmatic.

Christina’s cheeks turned crimson. Nathaniel was always aware of everything she did as if he had installed a tracking device above her head.

“She started it first. She even wanted to hit me. I was just protecting myself,” Christina muttered, defending her action.

Nathaniel rested his chin on his hand, casually glancing at her flushed face. “You did what was necessary. Don’t ever let anyone walk all over you.”

Christina widened her clear eyes, tapped her chest, and reassured him, “I won’t. Don’t worry.”

Sebastian was baffled by their conversation. Did Mr. Hadley just praise Mrs. Hadley for getting physical with someone? That’s a clear sign of him being overprotective of her.

At that moment. Sebastian’s phone rang, and he answered the call.

After a short pause, he turned around and informed Nathaniel, “Mr. Hadley, I suppose the Liuteguards. called me because they couldn’t reach you.”

“Answer the call, then,” Nathaniel replied with an icy glare.

Sebastian picked up the call, and Lincoln Liuteguard’s sincere voice came through. “Mr. Taggart, I would like to speak to Mr. Hadley. Could you do me a favor?”
