Chapter 89 Sword With Two Edges

Christina was woken up by the sensation of her gown being unzipped.

She shuddered as she heard the clear sound of the zipper coming undone and felt the cold air on her skin.

The next thing she knew, Nathaniel had smothered her car and neck with a barrage of kisses.

Christina moaned a few times as Nathaniel tightened his grip around her waist and held her firmly in his arms.

She drifted in and out of sleep for a bit before snoozing till morning.

The sun was shining brightly into the room by the time Christina woke up again. The air was filled with a faint floral fragrance.

Nathaniel pulled her closer toward his chest the moment he felt her move her head as though he was afraid of her running away.

The two of them simply lay there until the sun was high up in the sky. As Nathaniel got out of bed and stood in front of the window, the sunlight shone on his body and highlighted his perfectly-sculpted muscles.

He then buttoned up his white dress shirt and gently patted Christina on the waist. “Wake up, sleepyhead!”

Hmph! How dare he call me a sleepyhead when he was the one who wouldn’t let go of me earlier?

Christina waited until he had closed the bedroom door before climbing out of the blanket. She made sure to pick an outfit with long sleeves to cover the hickeys on her shoulder.

Since it was the last day of holiday, Christina decided to put all of her attention on her design.

This was her last chance at gaining Julia’s approval, so she needed to get it done right.

Sitting by the windowsill with her legs crossed and her chin propped up by both hands, Christina’s skirt gently billowed in the wind as she stared at the blank paper in front of her.
