Chapter 505 Unexpected Guest
“A penny for your thoughts.”
Nathaniel came home from kindergarten to see Christina spacing out in the study. She didn’t even
realize he hade in.
He strode over to gather her into his arms, snapping her out of her reverie. shing an awkward smile,
she responded, “Nothing much. I was thinking about how reckless I was.”
Nathaniel rested his chin on her shoulder and inhaled deeply, taking in the fragrance of her hair.
“Hmm? For example?” he asked nonchntly.
“For example, when I found out about my biological parents, I didn’t take the time to think it through and
ended upshing out at you. I wasn’t calm or rational at that moment. But now, upon reflection, I realize
that I only heard one side of the story and didn’t consider the peculiar coincidences,” she confessed.
Deep down. Nathaniel was pleased to hear that. Heforted her. “It’s fine. We’re married, so it’s only
right that you vent your frustration at me. I’m your husband, after all.”
“Thank you, Nathaniel.” Christina turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Nathaniel arched his brow. “Just a simple thank you?”
Christina pondered over it before standing on tiptoes to give him a light peck on his lips.
She was about to inch away when Nathaniel pulled her closer and deepened the kiss.
“No,” Christina rejected softly when she sensed he was about to go to second base.
Her coy voice merely served to heighten Nathaniel’s desire. His voice was hoarse as he said, “I
want…”
Christina was pinned to the desk, the warm sunlight bathing her body in a gentle glow.
Her skin appeared luminous and ethereal in the light, reminding Nathaniel of an angelic being.
“Christina, you’re gorgeous.”
Christina gazed at him, feeling her heart skip a beat.
Knock, knock!
They were about to proceed when someone knocked on the door.
“Mr. and Mrs. Hadley, Mr. Taggart is here,” Raymond reported.
Christina promptly regained herposure and struggled to sit up, but Nathaniel didn’t move an inch.
He furrowed his brows in displeasure and snapped, “Let him wait!”
Following his roar, not a sound was heard outside.
“I… don’t think that’s a good idea.” Having calmed down, Christina offered him some advice.
“Sebastian
Unexpected Guest
must havee here with something important to tell you.”
Nathaniel carried her elsewhere. “I don’t care. All I want is to be with you right now.”
No one could trulyprehend the depth of Nathaniel’s emotions as Christina had left him multiple
times.
The experiences had left him burdened with insecurities, causing a significant transformation from his
former self.
Even Christina struggled to understand how the once arrogant man had be so clingy.

However, Nathaniel wasn’t about to let her continue talking.
It was one hourter when they finally walked out of the study. Christina’s clothes were crumpled, so
she headed back to her room to get changed.
Nathaniel descended the stairs and found Sebastian waiting for him in the living room. Upon seeing
him, Sebastian handed him a document. “Mr. Hadley, the Gibson family sent us awyer’s letter. They
want to sue us for breach of contract.”
Nathaniel skimmed through the letter and nonchntly discarded it. Raising a brow, he replied, “Let
them sue us. Hadley Corporation will stand its ground and fight until the very end.”
He had anticipated that Gibson Corporation would reject any out-of-court settlement. In fact, he saw it
as a positive oue, as it would solidify Christina’smitment to stand by his side.
After changing her clothes, Christina went downstairs and happened to overhear the men’s
conversation.
Her once pleasant mood took a sharp turn, souring with a mix of surprise and disappointment. She had
never expected the Gibson family to be so ruthless and indifferent to her feelings.
The realization of their callousness reminded her of the suffering Cam had endured during her time
at the Gibson residence, intensifying her negative emotions.
“You have my full support,” she said, walking up to Nathaniel.
Nathaniel shot her a grateful look before ordering Sebastian to take care of thewsuit.
The Gibson family was not an enemy to be underestimated.
“Nathaniel, I think it would be beneficial for Cam to see a psychologist,” Christina shared with
Nathaniel once they were alone.
As a concerned mother, she wanted to ensure that her daughter wouldn’t be adversely affected by the
recent events they had been through.
“Sure,” Nathaniel agreed with a nod.
“I have a meeting to attend. Are youing with me? Or do you have other ns?”
“I need to head to the studio,” Christina said. She felt bad to let Rayne handle all the work alone.
On her way to the studio, she decided to take a small detour and make a quick stop at a nearby
dessert shop to surprise Rayne with a sweet treat.
When she stepped into the studio with the dessert, she was greeted by the sight of an unexpected
guest sitting on the couch.
She frowned and demanded harshly. “Why are you here?”
It was Madison, dressed in a striking red dress,plemented by vibrant red lipstick and heavy
makeup.
Her lips curled when she saw Christina. “Christina, is this how you wee a customer? I might
consider. taking a video of your rude wee and posting it online.””
“Christina, I couldn’t stop her,” Rayne exined softly.
Christina shot her a reassuring look and handed her the dessert she bought. “I got this for you. Enjoy it
and concentrate on your work.”
With that, she strode into her office, ignoring Madison’s presence.
However, Madison refused to be ignored. She forcefully pushed the door open and entered the office.
“Christina!”
The angrier Madison was, the moreposed Christina became. She shot Madison a calm look and
asked, “Is there anything you need?”
“Of course!” Madison found that question weird. Why would Ie all the way here if I don’t need
anything from her?
“Say it. Despite her reluctance to engage with Madison, Christina maintained her professional
demeanor, recognizing that Madison was now a customer in her studio and deserved her attention.
Madison’s furious demeanor disappeared and her shoulders slumped. “I’m going to get engaged soon.
Satisfied now?”
Christina was stunned. “What does that have to do with me?”
She had never intentionally inquired about Madison but had heard about the Taggart family arranging
blind dates for Madison.
She never knew Madison would get engaged this soon.
“I want you to design my engagement gown,” Madison requested. Although Christina’sposed
expression remained unchanged, Madison couldn’t help but wonder if there was an underlying mockery
hidden behind her calm demeanor, as if she was secretly relishing the fact that Madison was no longer
her rival.
“Are you nuts?” Christina wondered if Madison had gone mad..
I can’t believe she wants me to design her engagement gown.
