Chapter 25 Feeling Too Hot

The corners of Nathaniel’s lips lifted as he propped his chin with one hand, exuding a wicked charm. “You’re right. My wife looks good in anything”

Christma was slightly embarrassed by his praise. She suddenly felt that he was much more agreeable. when he wasn’t being intimidating.

Sounds of the door opening in the courtyard reached her ears, indicating that her grandmother was probably back home.

She pointed at the door to the backyard. “We’ll smooth out the agreement later. Hurry up and leave

now.”

Christina didn’t want her grandmother to discover Nathaniel’s existence. She’d kept their marriage low-key. As such, her grandmother was not aware of it.

It would complicate matters if she were caught together with a man.

Nathaniel’s expression crumbled as he felt like he was being cast aside. Christina couldn’t care less for his pettiness as she held on to his hand and pulled him out toward the courtyard.

“Come on, don’t just stand there.”

He got distracted by the warmth of her palm in his and was pulled along dazedly to the back door.

Christina released him and pushed open the gate. “That’s it. Go now,”

Nathaniel couldn’t help missing the feel of her soft and tiny hand in his. A sly idea struck him as he took in how anxious she was.

“How dare you see it fit for the CEO of Hadley Corporation to use the backdoor.” His face was full of loathing.

Christina was at her wit’s end at his inopportune display of stubbornness.

In place of fretting, she tried appeasing him so he’d leave.
