A Crazy Night Novel

Although Christina was anxious to find the mastermind behind the incident, she was not a reckless person.

If Anya were the real culprit, she would have a backup plan since she dared to do such a thing. The Gibson family would never let it slide if we went to catch Anya without solid evidence. Maybe the Gibson family had been scheming something during this period when they were behaving themselves.

Christina did not want Nathaniel to put himself at risk.

“Nathaniel, no matter what schemes and plots the Gibson family throws our way in the future, you don’t need to let yourself and the Hadley family get treated unfairly for my sake.” Christina snuggled into Nathaniel’s arms. She was disappointed with the Gibson family. “To me, home is where you and the kids are.”

What Christina gave was not just a promise but also unconditional trust toward Nathaniel.

Nathaniel’s lips curved into a smile as he replied, “Okay. I know what I should do. Christina, thank you for entrusting yourself to me.”

Christina looked up and pecked the corner of Nathaniel’s lips. Her smile mirrored his delighted one as she giggled. “Silly. We’re husband and wife. Who should I trust if not you?”

Nathaniel felt his heart skip a beat. He held the back of Christina’s head and pulled her in for a passionate kiss. Unfortunately, they were interrupted by a knock on the door.

Nathaniel’s expression turned grim when their alone time was cut abruptly.

Christina wrapped her arms around his neck and pecked his lips before she backed away. “We’ve got all the time in the world. I’ll make it up to you slowly in the future.”

Nathaniel felt comforted. A confident glint flashed across his dark obsidian-like eyes. “Remember what you said. Don’t you dare think of using money to shoo me away later on.”

He had stuffed the money from before into the bottom drawer of his study table. Out of sight, out of mind. He would not use the money since he had earned it by himself.

Christina beamed and nodded. “I know. I’ll increase your ‘salary’ depending on your performance.”

Finally satisfied, Nathaniel let go of Christina and said to the person outside in a deep voice, “Come in.”

Sebastian pushed open the door and entered. Little did he know that he had narrowly escaped Nathaniel’s wrath.
