Chapter 511 Let Us Sleep
Ever since Madison was banned from entering Scenic Garden Manor, the Hadley family’s bodyguards.
started paying more attention to the woman.
Every time she came, she would be stopped outside. The bodyguards would not let her take even a
step into the compound.
“Ms. Taggart, it’s late. What can I help you with?”
Right as Madison was staring at the gates of Scenic Garden Manor in melancholy and reminiscing
about the time she could go through those gates without anyone stopping her, Christina appeared.
Her icy voice snapped Madison out of her train of thought.
Madison turned to glance at Christina, who was donning a pink spaghetti-strapped nightgown with a
cardigan. Her attire complemented her figure.
Then, when Madison saw Christina’s youthful looks, she could not help but feel jealous.
She wondered if Christina would have fallen asleep in Nathaniel’s arms now if she had been a little
later.
The thought of Nathaniel hugging Christina to sleep made the jealousy in her grow to the point she
scrunched her face in fury.
The abrupt change of expression on the silent Madison’s face was a little creepy.
Christina frowned and uttered, “If there isn’t anything you want, I’ll be going back inside.”
Hearing that, Madison jolted back to her senses. For the sake of her plan, she forced away the
thoughts of murdering Christina. “Christina! This is the evidence of Anya trying to hurt you.”
As she spoke, she took out a flash drive and passed it to Christina.
“What the hell do you want?” Christina asked. Instead of taking the flash drive, she stared intently at
Madison.
She was hoping to read Madison’s mind and find out what nefarious plans the latter had, but besides
the frenzy look in Madison’s eyes, she saw nothing else.
“I just hope you’ll make a dress for me,” Madison said, curling her red lips.
“That’s all?”
“Yes.” Madison shoved the flash drive into Christina’s hands as if Christina had already agreed to her
request. “My engagement is on the fifteenth of the next month.”
Christina watched Madison drive off as she held onto the flash drive tightly. Alarm bells were ringing in
her head.
“Why does she want from you?” Nathaniel, who was leaning against the headboard and reading a
magazine, asked when Christina came back to the room.
Christina turned to look at him. Nathaniel had put on a pair of frameless glasses, and his black hair was
softly resting on his forehead.
There were a few buttons on his nightshirt unbuttoned, revealing his fair skin.
It was a seductive sight she could barely resist.
Christina gulped. A beat later, she finally said, “Madison’s going to get engaged soon. Did you know
about that?”
Nathaniel raised a brow. “I don’t.”
Noticing that the surprise on Nathaniel’s face did not seem faked, Christina bit her lower lip and asked.
“Why don’t you know about it? Did she not tell you anything?”
Nathaniel immediately realized that Christina was trying to trick him into admitting something. “Why
should I? Why would she tell me about it?”
Those two questions stopped Christina from continuing her plans to stir up chaos.
No longer interested in that topic, Christina climbed onto the bed and showed Nathaniel the flash drive.
She told him about Madison’s request.
Nathaniel was quiet for a while. “You don’t need to accept it if you don’t want to.”
He had more than enough ways to deal with Anya.
“No, I’ll be accepting this.” Christina was keen. The more secretive Madison was, the more she wanted
to find out what was going on..
Nathaniel cast Christina a loving gaze before answering, “Sure. You have my support for any decision NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
you
make.”
Christina nestled in his arms for a while before trying to mess with Nathaniel again. “What do you think
about her upcoming engagement? Are you disappointed?”
Nathaniel’s smile froze. Christina’s insistence on making life difficult for him meant that she would not
be satisfied with any responses he was to give her..
“What I feel right now… is…” Nathaniel deliberately stammered.
Once he saw Christina letting down her guard, he let his slender fingers sneak beneath her clothes.
“Christina, let’s sleep,” he whispered into her ear.
Before Christina could react to that, Nathaniel had pinned her down on the bed like a beast.
The next day, Christina woke with a sore back.
Nathaniel was already nowhere to be found.
“Mrs. Hadley, are you feeling unwell? Do you need a doctor to take a look at you?” the butler in the
living room asked when he noticed Christina rubbing her arm and lower back.
“No, it’s fine. Where’s Nathaniel?” she asked, turning to look at the dining room. However, she still did
not see Nathaniel, Lucas, or Camila.
“Mr. Hadley sent Mr. Lucas and Ms. Camila to the kindergarten,” Raymond answered.
Christina nodded in response and went to have her breakfast.
After that, she drove to the studio. Before she could enter the studio, she was startled by the row of
bodyguards outside the building.
Thinking that she had gone to the wrong place, she took a few steps back to check the door number.
But I’m at the right place.
Right then. Rayne stepped out of the studio, and Christina quickly grabbed her hand and asked,
“Rayne, what’s going on here?”
Before Rayne could reply to her, a woman dressed as an assistant emerged from behind her.
She walked over to Christina and said, “Hello, are you Ms. Steele? I’m Coco Lynch’s assistant, Quinn.”
Coco Lynch?
Christina’s eyes lit up when she heard the name she had not heard in ages.
Coco was now an A-list celebrity adored by the nation. She was constantly in television shows,
advertisements, and variety shows.
It had been a long time since the two had met, so every time they met, they would have countless
things to tell each other about.
Still, Christina wanted to find out why Coco had come to look for her that day.
As it turned out, a famous foreign director was fascinated by her talent and was interested to film a
show with various cultural elements.
Coco’s team had been searching for people who were skilled in making traditional attires. Ultimately,
Quinn found Christina’s studio online.
When Coco realized that it was Christina her assistant had found, she decided to come and meet
Christina herself. Coco wanted to meet her good friend, but at the same time, she also wanted to ask
Christina to accompany her overseas.
Getting an opportunity to show off her work to an international audience through a film made by a
foreign director was a golden opportunity for all designers.
However, Christina could not help but hesitate when she thought about her husband and children.
“I need more time to think about this.”
Coco nodded and expressed her understanding. Before leaving, she gave Christina her new contact
details.
“Christina, this is a wonderful chance! Why didn’t you agree to it immediately?” Rayne asked, bemused
by Christina’s hesitation.
Christina sighed. “That’s because I have a family.”
The trip would take half a year, and she was afraid that Nathaniel could not stand it.
Moreover, her children were going to miss her.
“Gosh. It’s hard to be a woman. You need to split your attention between family and work,” Rayne said.
with a sigh, her resolution to not get married getting stronger.
