A gentle cool breeze blew through the window into the room but was quickly mitigated by the warmth

inside.

Christina was startled by the movement behind her and woke up. When she opened her eyes, she realized Nathaniel was hugging her tightly.

It seemed his grip was more aggressive today.

She rubbed her eyes and gently pushed him away. “Nathaniel, I need to get up.”

Christina’s gentle voice woke Nathaniel. He opened his eyes, revealing a hint of languidness.

He was in a good mood after having a well-rested sleep last night.

“I’m going back to the Hadley residence. I’m sure Mrs. Hadley wasn’t pleased when I didn’t return last night.”

Christina rolled off the bed and did a stretch. Her thin dress clung tightly to her body, revealing her slender and sexy figure as she raised her arms.

Nathaniel kept his gaze fixed on her until she entered the bathroom.

Shortly after, Christina came out of the bathroom, decked in black. She hurriedly headed downstairs and grabbed a few pieces of bread before leaving in a car.

Christina was long gone by the time Nathaniel changed his clothes and headed downstairs.

Without any hesitation, Nathaniel got in a car and asked the driver to take him to the Hadley

residence.

When Christina arrived at the Hadley residence, she saw Julia sitting in the living room, sipping coffee from an exquisite porcelain cup. She was like a jasmine flower in full blossom, exuding an air of elegance and gracefulness as she sipped the coffee brewed using coffee beans that were specially air-

flown in.

Christina approached her and said, “My apologies, Mis. Hadley. I wasn’t able to come back yesterday as I was working overtime at the office.”

Julia glanced at Christina calmly and replied, “I’ve seen the progress. Go ahead and carry on with your

work.”

Julia was pleased with how the gown was coming along, and hence, did not question Christina further about her absence last night.

Christina heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Julia reply.

She headed upstairs and continued with her work in the room, carefully fixing the eight embroidered jasmine flowers onto the gown. Along with some embroidered petals adorning the flowers, the overall design looked perfect.

As Christina looked at the gown she had painstakingly created, a satisfied smile appeared of her face. Next, she removed the thread soaked in the water infused with jasmine flowers and hung it on the

balcony. The thread could be used once it was dry.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Christina answered, “Come in.”

One of the Hadley family’s housekeepers entered. “M. Ada, Mrs. Hadley is asking to meet you in the backyard.”

“Did Mrs. Hadley mention what it’s about?” Christina asked curiously.
