A Crazy Night

Chapter 22

Chapter 22 Different Worlds.

The atmosphere at the scene grew tense.

Next, a shadow appeared in the silhouette of a tall man, and he was wearing a wrinkleless suit. That man was handsome and aloof.

“Sir?” the store manager greeted the man, but the man ignored her and walked straight toward the messy pile of shoe boxes.

Xandra’s heart skipped a beat when she saw that handsome man’s face. “Nathaniel? W-Why are you here?”

Xandra was wondering if Nathaniel saw her bullying Christina.

While looking at Christina’s reddened knuckles, Nathaniel frowned and asked Xandra, “Did you do this?”

When he entered the store earlier, he had already noticed the weird looks on the two women’s faces.

Feeling guilty. Xandra stammered, “I-I’m innocent! When I saw Christina working here, I came in just to help her make some sales!”

Xandra’s acting skills were so impressive that if the staff hadn’t seen her bullying Christina, they would’ve surely believed her words.

Meanwhile, Christina had a stone-cold expression on her face because she didn’t want Nathaniel to see the wretched state she was in. “I’m working here. Please leave.”

As she was saying that, she didn’t dare to look into Nathaniel’s dark gaze. Although she was talking in a cold tone, her flushed ears betrayed her feelings.

Nathaniel’s expression tensed when he heard that, and his innate arrogance instantly froze the atmosphere. Is she expecting me to leave and let her get bullied by others? This woman is ridiculous!

With that in mind, Nathaniel grabbed her wrist and demanded, “Come with me

His tone was so domineering that she couldn’t reject him.

Just like that, Christina was dragged toward the entrance. “I still need to work. How can you just drag me away?” she argued. This man doesn’t know what it’s like to work, does he? How can I leave work as I wish?

From the moment Nathaniel appeared until he brought Christina away, the store manager didn’t dare to utter a single word.

That was because she knew the man with an imposing presence was none other than the CEO of the mall. Although he had only appeared once during the opening ceremony, his aura and his handsome face left an unforgettable impression on her.

Suddenly, Nathaniel stopped in his tracks. With a stern expression, he pulled out a black card and gave it to the store manager. “I’m buying everything you have.”

With that, he dragged Christina along as he continued walking. “Now, you’re free to leave work”

Obviously, Christina wasn’t keen on leaving. However, that wasn’t up to her.

In fact, she knew that Nathaniel would always have a way to convince her to do whatever he wanted

her to do.

Xandra was livid as she watched the couple leave. She then vented her anger by kicking the new shoes. Why did Nathaniel show up and protect Christina? What’s so good about that country bumpkin?

Upon exiting the mall, Nathaniel shoved Christina into the back seat of the car before getting into the vehicle himself.

The atmosphere in the spacious car suddenly turned extremely tense and suffocating

Without saying anything to explain himself, Nathaniel pulled Christina into his embrace and kissed her on the lips. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

As he was kissing her, her sweet and charming scent was taking his breath away.

When Christina finally regained her senses, she immediately shoved Nathaniel aside. “What are you doing. Nathaniel? Let go of me!” she fumed. Did he drag me out of my work and get me into the car just to kiss me? Does he have nothing better to do?

Instead of getting angry after being pushed aside, Nathaniel grinned and stared at Christina with his predatory gaze. “Since you had the guts to tease me, you should’ve known this would happen. How dare you swap with another woman? Have you forgotten about your identity. Christina?”

How could I have forgotten? I simply refuse to acknowledge it. While clenching her fists, Christina glared at him and said. “Nathaniel, do you really think I would dance on the stage? I told you before, didn’t E1 was merely substituting Peacock. What you bought was Peacock’s dance, not mine.”

In other words, she hadn’t done anything wrong.

Nathaniel instantly became upset. “Even so, you had no reason to give me another woman. Did you know you nearly killed me-

Nathaniel paused mid-sentence. Christina will surely misunderstand me if she were to find out that I’m allergic to all women except her. She’s going to think that I have no choice but to be with her.

Upon hearing that, Christina shot him a glare. How could he possibly die from that?

A brief silence ensued while Nathaniel just kept staring at her with his deep gaze.

Christina shied away, but she was feeling uneasy because Nathaniel was still grabbing her waist. “Pervert! Let go of me!” she yelled. Why must he always touch me whenever he sees me?

Nathaniel hugged her tighter when he heard her complaining.

Despite initially having little to no distance between them, Christina’s lips were even closer to Nathaniel’s chin after he pulled her in. At that moment, all she could see was his alluring Adam’s apple, and that instantly reminded her of what had happened that night.

With his sexy lips next to her ear, he whispered, “If I get called a pervert for hugging my own wife, does that mean I would get accused of rape when I have sex with you?”

Christina grew anxious, and she almost jumped in alarm. How could he say such a thing to an innocent lady? That’s rude!

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Christina was so upset that she could almost cry.

“All right. That’s enough. Let’s go home.” Nathaniel was amused and couldn’t help laughing when he saw how red she had gotten. I should be magnanimous and forget about what happened that night. After all, I need to be patient with my wife.

“I don’t want to go back! I must get back to my part-time job!” Christina was worried that her manager would fire her. Now that I think about it, even if the manager doesn’t mind, I don’t think Xandra will give

up so easily. It seems like I’m going to lose this part-time job as well.

Nathaniel’s gaze darkened, and he held her slender arm. “Why must you work? Do you like getting

mistreated?”

Christina was pissed off when she heard his last sentence. “What do you mean if I like getting mistreated? I’m doing it because I need money!”

Indeed, Christina needed money to take care of her mother and carry out her revenge. I don’t have a choice! Ugh! Why am I talking about money with a rich man? I’m just embarrassing myself, aren’t I?

“If that’s the case, why don’t you just stay home and be my wife? I can give you however much money you want! Nathaniel sounded so serious that it was as though he would give her all his money if she were to agree to it. Every woman wants to live a luxurious life, no? If hy does she not want that?

As Nathaniel was talking, there was a haughty look in his eyes that was telling her that he would be willing to give her the world as long as she was willing to please him.

In response, Christina heaved a sigh. What I want isn’t just money.

Despite raising her gaze to see Nathaniel looking back at her sternly, she couldn’t find the patience in her to explain herself. “Nathaniel, we’re from different worlds. We don’t have a future together.”

Nathaniel kept mum.

“Why don’t we just get a divorce sooner rather than later? I’ll sign the divorce agreement and pass it to you afterward,” she added.
