A Crazy Night

Chapter 502 My One And Only Husband

Christina and Nathaniel felt their hearts skip a beat.

They exchanged a glance. How would Francis know?

“Take us to him.” We have to see him to get to the bottom of this.

“He says he will only speak to Christina.” Parker glanced uncomfortably at Nathaniel.

Nathaniel scowled at those words. His displeasure was apparent.

Christina knew how Nathaniel felt about Francis and also the latter’s obsession with her. She was about to reject the request when Nathaniel said, “Go ahead. I’ll wait here for you.”

Christina looked at him in surprise and noticed his hands were balled into fists. It was plain that he was feeling deeply conflicted.

She had never seen him like that before. After all, he was stubborn and dogmatic, especially when it concerned Francis.

“No. We’ll go together.” Christina took Nathaniel’s hand and gave him a determined look before turning to Parker. “I won’t see him alone.”

In other words, if Nathaniel could not come with her, she would not go.

Sensing the warmth radiating from her palm, Nathaniel felt his initial displeasure ebbing away.

It was only at that moment that he realized letting go did not mean losing something but holding on too tightly would.

“Fine.” After considering it, Parker led Christina and Nathaniel to Francis.

After all, Francis had only made it clear that Christina’s presence was expected without mentioning any other conditions.

As they followed in Parker’s wake, Christina realized the road was closed because Francis was shooting a scene there.

No wonder he sent his assistant to intercept us here. It appears that he saw us.

“Wait a moment, Christina, Mr. Hadley. Francis will be right over.” After leading them to Francis’ minivan, he left to notify Francis. From NôvelDrama.Org.

“How do you think he knows about my biological parents?” Christina asked, voicing the question gnawing at her as soon as they were alone in the minivan.

Nathaniel did not look surprised, but a hint of jealousy laced his voice when he said, “I don’t know how he knows, but he must still be pining over you and is trying to remain relevant in your eyes.”

At the thought of Francis having residual feelings for Christina, Nathaniel clenched his fists involuntarily.

Christina sensed the rage emanating out of him. Instead of feeling adverse like she used to, she found it

adorable how he was anxious about her. She stroked his hair.

“Oh, cheer up! He can try as much as he wants to gain my attention, but he will never overshadow my one and only husband.” Her honeyed words dispelled Nathaniel’s rage in an instant.

Gazing at Christina’s thin and shiny lips, he kissed her instinctively.

The temperature in the vast minivan suddenly soared.

Christina resisted initially, as she was worried about how it would look if somebody came by.

However, Nathaniel was relentless. Feeling her head spin from his amorous assault, she fell limp into his arms.

“Ahem!”

Francis, who had been standing there for some time, felt discomfited at the scene. Aware that he had no right to say anything about it, he could only stand and watch.

Unexpectedly, the couple began to entangle themselves with each other. Unable to bear looking at them. another second longer, he was forced to interrupt pointedly.

The sound yanked Christina out of her reverie. Leaping out of Nathaniel’s arms, she scratched her head in a daze.

Nathaniel, on the other hand, turned his gaze at Francis with a mixture of pride and provocation.

How childish.

When the awkwardness in the air receded a little, Francis walked over.

His gaze fell firstly on Christina. He had not seen her since he left her house to shoot in South Alendor.

“It’s been a while, Christina.”

“Spill it. What do you know about my birth parents?” Christina asked bluntly.

Her stiff tone hurt Francis a little, but an actor of his caliber did not show it. He hid it impeccably well.

“That’s a long story.” Francis entered the vehicle and motioned for the driver to do the same. “Let’s talk about it someplace else, or the reporters will have something to write about if they catch us.”

Only after returning to the country did Francis learn about all the trouble his stay at her place had caused her.

“I’m sorry for the trouble I’ve caused by staying at your place, Christina,” Francis said after thinking about. it for a moment. “Since leaving your place, I was-”

“Let’s not mention the past anymore,” Christina interrupted, trying to spare Nathaniel’s feelings at the mention of the past.

Francis understood Christina’s implicit request and tactfully fell silent.

Nathaniel took Christina’s hand and said comfortingly, “I’m not as petty as you think I am.” Then, he turned his gaze to Francis. “If you’re really as sorry as you claim, prove it with something worth our time for having come here.”

If he’s going to use Christina’s parents as bait, I’m going to make him pay for it.

As he spoke, Nathaniel allowed his rage to pour forth.

Francis raised his eyebrows at Nathaniel’s reaction. Although he did not say a word, he was pleased to see the Nathaniel he knew.

However, it surprised him very much that Nathaniel had allowed Christina to see him.

Before that, he had heard Christina divorcing Nathaniel again, then leaving Jadeborough to the Gibson residence in Hallsbay.

It was during that interval when he thought he had another chance, but he only realized the truth when he saw them walking on the street, hand in hand.

I was never in her heart. That is why she has never looked for me to ask if I really did those things. She does not care and never did.

After several seconds of silence, Christina said solemnly, “I hope you won’t disappoint me this time, Francis.”

Although Nathaniel and Francis had been at odds, it seemed to her that it was nothing more than how brothers uncomfortable with each other would get along.

Besides, the many favors she had exchanged with Francis had made her think of him as her friend.

After the incident of being used, however, she realized she did not know him at all.

“Not this time.” Francis’ beady eyes were nothing but sincere.

His many mistakes had been to steal Christina from Nathaniel.

However, the couple had opted to remain together despite the hurdles they had faced. It was a bond he could not simply break.

Furthermore, he had plans to settle down abroad with his mother after taking care of business in the country.
