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 whi te 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.

After tearing off several pages of drafts, she was still clueless as to what she should draw.

“Why are you staring blankly into space like that? What’s on your mind?” Nathaniel asked as he entered the room with breakfast and saw her spacing out.

Christina took the tray over and sipped on the milk before replying, “I’m thinking about the design. drawing. The previous two were rejected, so I don’t know what to draw.”

Nathaniel took her drawing block away and said, “My mo m is rather introverted, so you wouldn’t be able to figure her out unless you understand her.”

Since this was the first time he had mentioned anything about his parents, Christina got interested and asked, “Could you tell me more about her?”

“Sure thing, but you need to eat your breakfast first,” Nathaniel said while handing her the toast he had prepared.

Christina shoved it into her mou th and munched on it like an adorable little chipmunk. “Come on, tell

mel”

Despite having married into the Hadley family for so many years, she hardly had the chance to meet Julia. Even when the two did see each other, they would get into a fight after a brief exchange.

As such, it was incredibly difficult for Christina to understand her.

Nathaniel lowered his gaze and tried to recall something as he said, “When I was little, my mother loved jasmines. In order to please her, my father planted a lot of them in the backyard. When I was ten, a woman my father was having an affair with showed up at our house and provoked my mother on her birthday. My father promised he would cut ties with that woman, but my mother’s pride prevented her from accepting his apology. Eventually, the two of them ended up living separately.”
