Chapter 329 Slept Together
“Where are we?” Christina asked suspiciously.
“It’s raining so heavily. I don’t want to risk driving in this weather. We’ll stay in the condominium tonight!
Nathaniel got out of the driver’s seat and walked over to open the pa*senger-side door with an umbrella to shield Christina from the rain.
She recalled that Madison lived in a condominium. Did he bring me back to their home?
Christina was immediately filled with disgust at that thought. She did not want to be near Madison. “I won’t go in. If you refuse to drive. I’ll drive myself home.”
“Don’t be difficult. There was an announcement on the radio just now that a thunderstorm was coming. It’s very dangerous to be driving now. If you get in an accident, how am I going to explain it to the two kids?”
Nathaniel held out the umbrella to Christina. His own body was entirely drenched in the rain.
Christina got out of the car reluctantly, promising herself that as soon as the rain eased, she would leave immediately.
Upon entering the condominium, Christina realized that the unit was enormous, and the interior was clean, spotless even. Most interestingly, there was no trace of a woman living in that space.
“You live alone here?” Christina asked, doubt creeping into her voice.
“Well, you refuse to let me step foot in Scenic Garden Manor. What else can I do but live here alone.” Nathaniel slipped the umbrella into the stand by the door. The rain was relentless, and his clothes were completely soaked through. Droplets of water dripped from his body to the floor, creating a small puddle.
“Make yourself comfortable. I’m going to take a shower and get myself changed out of these wet clothes.”
Christina’s clothes had not escaped the rain either. Although Nathaniel had tried his best to shield her with the umbrella, only her hair had remained dry.
Nathaniel noticed that she looked no better than himself. He worried that she would catch a cold sitting in her damp clothes. “I don’t have any spare women’s clothing for you, unfortunately. You’ll have to make do with my baggy workout clothes.”
He disappeared into the bedroom and returned with a white tracksuit set. “Take a shower and change into these dry clothes. I don’t want you to fall sick.”
Christina stared at the tracksuit in distaste. She really did not want to spend the night in his condominium, let alone put on his clothes.
Seeing her reluctance, Nathaniel said in a rather threatening tone. “Do you need me to help you with
Christina turned deep red and glared at him.
“Okay, why not? Let’s go, then Nathantel grabbed her arm and steered her toward the bathroom in the
guest room
Christina yanked her arm free Her heart was hammering in her chest. “I don’t need your help. I can do it
myself.”
She snatched the tracksuit from him angrily and stalked into the guest bedroom, slamming the door shut and deliberately turning the lock loudly.
Nathaniel stared at the closed door with a helpless smile.
He locked the front door before going into the bathroom. After a beat, he decided to bring his car keys into the bathroom with him. Now, I can shower in peace.
After a hot shower, Christina put on Nathaniel’s tracksuit. Although the set was too big for her, it was otherwise comfortable.
Then, she dried her long hair with a hairdryer. The hot air made her feel dehydrated.
She wandered into the kitchen for a gla*s of water only to realize that it was completely devoid of furnishing. There was no cutlery to be seen, let alone a kettle for her to boil water.
It seems that he has never eaten a meal in this house.
Christina had no choice but to head over to the bar for a drink. She searched for non-alcoholic options. among the various bottles of liquor and finally found a bottle labeled Anglandurn fruit juice.
She twisted the cap open and took a deep sniff of the strong, fruity aroma. Satisfied, she poured herself a full gla*s.
She was so thirsty that she immediately downed the entire drink in one gulp.
The juice tasted delicious. Christina poured herself another one but sipped this one slowly to savor it.
Nathaniel emerged from his shower and immediately searched the room for Christina. He breathed a sigh of relief when he caught sight of her slender figure on the bar stool.
The tracksuit was loose on her small frame and kept slipping off her shoulders, revealing tantalizing glimpses of her milky white skin. Her long dark hair hung casually down to her waist, and she seemed to be lounging in relaxation.
“Why did you open this bottle?” Nathaniel asked when he saw the bottle that she was drinking.
Her cheeks were flushed. She blinked up at him, her vision unfocused. She seemed to be already intoxicated.
Christina propped her chin in her hand, parted her pretty lips slowly, and drawled, “Why are you being so petty? It’s just a bottle of juice. I’ll pay you back for it.”
“It’s not about the money.” It’s about the high alcoholic content of this bottle of fruit liquor!
Nathaniel was worried that she would wake up with a horrible hangover the next morning.
“Stop drinking. It’s the weekend tomorrow, and you promised that you’d take the kids out.”
Nathaniel pulled the bottle from her grasp.
Christina began to see double visions as her consciousness slipped away.
Suddenly, she felt light-headed, as if she were lying on a cloud in the sky. She stretched out her hands and
ran them through Nathaniel’s jet-black hair. Then, she caressed his cheeks and ran her fingers along his jawline.
“Darling… Christina called out in a soft voice. She sounded almost coquettish.
Nathaniel’s eyes darkened. He stared at Christina with hope and joy. “What did you call me?”
She called me “darling.” Does this mean that she has forgiven me?
Christina’s checks flushed crimson red. They looked like ripe cherries against her milky-white skin. Nathaniel had to resist the urge to take a bite.
“Darling, you look like my darling Lucas…” Christina whispered absentmindedly.
Nathaniel’s face darkened. She mistook me for her son!
Christina was oblivious to Nathaniel’s annoyance with her mistake. She wrapped her arms around his neck and reached up toward him. “Come on… Give me a kiss!”
Nathaniel reluctantly allowed her to press her lips to his cheek.
He thought that was the end of it, but he accidentally brushed against her lips as he was setting her down. on the bed.
He could taste the sweet aroma of the fruit liquor on her breath. It set his blood on fire with desire.
However, he had always considered her feelings, and he knew that she was unwilling to be intimate with him. So, he did not dare to make a move,
It was Christina who threw herself at him.
The electric blinds lowered themselves, throwing the room into darkness, and Nathaniel gave himself over completely to Christina’s embrace.
The next morning. Christina was awakened by the pain in her back.
Her head was throbbing in pain. She gasped. Her entire body felt sore. It seemed a miracle that she was
even alive.
Nathaniel was lying beside her. He was sleeping soundly with an expression of utter peace on his face. Scratch marks ran down his back.
The memory of last night was fuzzy, but even so, Christina could guess what had happened between
them
That’s crazy!
She had been thinking about divorcing Nathaniel recently. But now, we actually…
Christina slapped her own forehead in frustration. Had I gone crazy? Why did I do such a thing?
She did not how she was going to face Nathaniel that day
She slipped out of bed and quietly put on her clothes Then she grabbed the car keys Irom the bedside Cable and quickly fled the condominium
