A Crazy Night

Chapter 24 Amending The Divorce Settlement Agreement

Christina’s heart felt like it’d been pounded by a blunt object.

Countless girls had pursued the dashing figure before her.

Brayden stared soulfully into the eyes of the ingenue before him as he anticipated her answer.

Christina recalled the night Brayden had heard of the news that she was married at the bar. She could. tell from his disappointed gaze that he minded greatly.

Christina imperceptibly exhaled to calm herself down before lifting her eyes once more. They were wiped clean from any remnants of dismay. “Thank you, Brayden. But Lonly see you as a brother.”

Brayden’s eyes widened as he struggled to come up with a reply.

Christina forced herself to appear relaxed, her eyes lighting up as she smiled. “I’m sure you’ve learned that night that I’m married now. My husband and I are deeply in love, and my heart and body belong. to him solely.

She accentuated the words “body” and “soul”.

Brayden would have to be a fool to fail to grasp what Christina was implying. She was politely rejecting

his advances.

It was great that the girl he admired had found happiness, even if it wasn’t with him.

Moreover, he wasn’t the type to become a homewrecker.

Brayden sighed lightly. “I’m sorry for disturbing you.”

At that, he turned to leave dejectedly.

The pace of his footsteps was unhurried. His shadow contrasted starkly with the bright surroundings as the sun’s rays beat down on him.

Christina stood rooted to the ground. Her ice cream had unknowingly melted. Despite the blazing-hot. sun, the tips of her fingers were ice-cold.

She’d lost her appetite when she was done wiping the melted ice cream from her fingers.

At that moment, a towering figure stepped out from the Maybach parked on the opposite side of the street. Nathaniel’s long legs brought him to Christina’s side in but a few strides.

Sensing a presence behind her, Christina subconsciously turned to have a look. Before she knew it. Nathaniel was already standing before her.

Christina’s eyes were as wide as saucers as she exclaimed, “How did you know I was here?”

Since when did he arrive? Did he overhear the entire conversation earlier?

If so, she was in huge trouble.

She had only mentioned Nathaniel as a means to an end.

Nathaniel was in a pleasant mood as his mind replayed Christina’s words to Brayden. A delightful smirk graced his devilishly handsome features. “Do you think it’d be difficult for me to track you down?”

Christina was rendered speechless.

Of course, as an heir of the Bradley family, he’d barely need to lift a finger to locate someone. How amazing.

She harrumphed and proceeded to open the gate to enter the front courtyard.

Nathaniel took advantage of the slightly ajar gate and slipped inside. The small space was neat and bursting with the colors of spring.

Christina had not foreseen his fleet-footedness. She tugged his arm toward the exit. “Hey! How could you trespass into others property?”

She did not want Nathaniel inside the house and hurried to pull him out. Alas, her limited strength didn’t even make him budge an inch.
