    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 passenger-side door with an


    umbre 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 wasing.


    It’s very dangerous to be driving now. If you get in an ident, how am I going to exin it to the two


    kids?”


    Nathaniel held out the umbre 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 umbre into the stand by the door. The rain was relentless, and his clothes were


    “Make yourselffortable. 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 umbre, 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 red 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, mming 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


    otherwisefortable.


    Then, she dried her long hair with a hairdryer. The hot air made her feel dehydrated.


    She wandered into the kitchen for a ss of water only to realize that it waspletely 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 bottlebeled Anndurn fruit juice.


    She twisted the cap open and took a deep sniff of the strong, fruity aroma. Satisfied, she poured herself


    a full ss.


    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 rxation.


    “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-ck 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 identally 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


    overpletely 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 ofst 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 pped 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
