Christina was asleep on her soft bed when Nigel stormed into the residence.
After Raymond woke her up, she sat on the bed with the blanket wrapped around her and spaced out. Her scrunched eyebrows and frown indicated that she was in a bad mood.
Everyone in the Hadley residence knew that Christina disliked being woken up.
That morning, before Nathaniel left, he had emphasized to Raymond that no one should disturb Christina’s rest. However, Raymond could not carry out his order to the end, as an uninvited guest had shown up at the residence.
Raymond observed Christina’s expression and carefully said, “Mrs. Hadley, the guest mentioned that he’s your second uncle. He won’t leave if he doesn’t get to meet you. He’s causing quite a stir downstairs.”
Even without Raymond telling her, Christina had already heard the cursing, screaming, and sounds of things being smashed from downstairs.

Raymond nodded respectfully. “Yes, Mrs. Hadley.”
