Let Me Stay The Night

If they weren’t in public, Nathaniel would’ve embraced Christina and told her how much he had missed her over the past two weeks.

“I know. I trust you.” Nathaniel held her hand and looked at her tenderly.

Suddenly, someone barged in and interrupted the romantic atmosphere.

“You’re here, Christina!” Sheridan pretended he didn’t know Nathaniel was there. “I thought you wouldn’t attend my great-grandma’s birthday banquet! After all, you’ve been busy ever since you took over Gibson Corporation…”

Oh? Sheridan is so friendly toward Christina! I wonder how often he looked for her when I was abroad. Nathaniel was overwhelmed by jealousy.

“Christina is my wife, so it’s only right for her to attend this birthday banquet with me. As the younger generation, we must show Old Mdm. Garcia some respect.” Nathaniel wrapped his arm around Christina’s waist and pulled her into his embrace.

Christina smiled politely, allowing Nathaniel to stake his claim on her.

“Oh! You’re here as well, Mr. Hadley!” Sheridan acted surprised. “I’m so sorry. You had your back facing me, so I didn’t know you were here. I thought you were the bodyguard Christina had been keeping by her side.

With that in mind, Nathaniel smiled faintly and replied, “It’s fine, Mr. Stone. But you shouldn’t have problems with your eyes since you’re still so young. Luckily for you, I know quite a few optometrists. Perhaps I should introduce you to them

Sheridan’s mouth twitched. A hint of resentment flashed across his eyes when he responded, “Thank you for your concern, Mr. Hadley. I’ll attend to my personal matters privately.”

Although Sheridan was a prideful man, he was taught not to have a falling out with someone in public.
