A Crazy Night Novel

Christina came to her senses abruptly. “I almost forgot in my excitement. Mr. Taggart, rest well. Nathaniel, Lucas, and I will go back first. We’ll come to see you another day.”

Sebastian felt relieved. The atmosphere in the hospital room was too awkward, and for the first time, he wished Christina and Nathaniel would leave quickly. “Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Hadley, for your concern.”

Lucas wanted to say something more, but Christina and Nathaniel took him away.

The three of them got into the car before Christina grabbed Nathaniel’s hand. Leaning closer, she asked, “Nathaniel, were you jealous just now?”

Nathaniel replied seriously, “No, why do you ask?”

Christina smiled and leaned into Nathaniel’s embrace, whispering, “You’re lying. You were holding my hand so hard in the hospital room that it hurt. There’s nothing between Mr. Taggart and me. You’re just too sensitive. Your jealousy will be the death of you.”

Nathaniel’s possessiveness and dominating behavior were only directed toward Christina. He didn’t like it when she got too close to other men.

Nathaniel lifted her hand and carefully inspected each finger, asking, “Where did it hurt?”

Christina playfully shook her head. “I lied earlier. You can’t punish me. We’re even now.”

Nathaniel smiled indulgently made a soft sound of agreement.

Christina and Nathaniel exchanged a glance, then Christina pinched Lucas’ nose, saying, “That’s an adult topic. Children shouldn’t be curious about it.”

“Oh.” Lucas nodded as if he understood and took out some candy from his pocket before handing it to Nathaniel. “Daddy, you can have my candy. Don’t be jealous. I think jealousy won’t taste as good as candy.”

Nathaniel was visibly taken aback for a moment. Then, he scooped Lucas into his arms with a pleased smile tugging at his lips. “Clever little rascal, where did you learn these tricks to please people?”
