Chapter 102 Do Not Want To Leave
Madison shuddered as a gust of cold wind blew past.

She wanted to expose Christina, but now that Christina was taken away by Nathaniel, Madison’s claims
would be pointless since there weren’t any witnesses.
Moreover, Madison figured Julia must’ve guessed it too, but she couldn’t fathom why the latter didn’t take
any action.
Under such circumstances, if Madison were to raise that issue, she might even risk getting herself
labeled as a troublemaker.
“When I was chatting with Ms. Ada carlier, she lost her balance and fell. I panicked and jumped in after
her. I’m sorry that I caused such a commotion.”
Tears welled up in Madison’s eyes. Her body was soaked, and the chilly winter wind blowing at her
caused her to shiver in the cold.
Anyone who saw her in that pitiful state would sympathize with her, especially given her excellent
relationship with Julia.
Bring Ms. Taggart back into the house so she can change into clean clothes.”
The housekeepers behind Julia immediately executed her orders after she spoke, stepping forward and
helping Madison to enter the house.
Helen waited until they walked farther ahead before she approached and uttered in an undertone. “Mrs.
Hadley, what should we do now?” Mr. Hadley mentioned he wanted an explanation. Does that mean Ms.
Ada is closely acquainted with Mr. Hadley?
Julia’s doubts gradually cleared up, as if a thick fog in her mind had been lifted. She snorted and turned
around to go back into the house.
Meanwhile, inside the guest room, Christina’s body was drenched. Her pale face shone under the lights,

rescue a little later, she would’ve been done for
Christina tensed up again when the sound of fabric getting torn up rang out.
She hurriedly covered her exposed shoulder and stared at him in utter shock. “What are you doing?”
Why is he tearing my clothes like a thug without a word?
Nathaniel wore a sheer cold expression. If I hadn’t been worried and followed her earlier, the person
lying in front of me now wouldn’t be alive anymore. Instead, I’d be facing a corpse.
He uttered sternly, “Changing your clothes.” Does she still plan to continue working in this soaked outfit?
With that, he resumed ripping up the black clothes wrapped around her body.
The crisp sound of clothes being torn apart reverberged. In just a few seconds, Christina’s garments
were torn into pieces.
“All right! That’s enough! I’ll do the rest myself.” Christina covered her slender shoulders. A few droplets
adorned her exquisite collarbones, and the remaining clothes clinging to her body vaguely

Nathaniel, who had intended to continue, hesitated. He caught his breath as he took in the sight of her
fair skin.
“Hurry up and change.”
Christina blinked, thinking he was going to continue tearing up her clothes. When she regained her
senses, she hastily grabbed some clean clothes and rushed into the bathroom.
Moments later, she changed into a clean outfit. When exiting the bathroom, she couldn’t help but sneeze.
Falling into the water during such chilly weather is definitely more exciting than taking a walk in an
icehouse.
Before she could steady herself, Nathaniel pulled her over and started blow-drying her hair. “We’re going
back right away. If I let her stay here any longer, something is bound to go wrong.
Christina felt her heart sink. The design of the gown is almost done. Won’t all my effort be wasted if I
walk away now? But Nathaniel has always been a willful person, and no one can change his mind. Not to
mention, he’s still enraged at the moment.
Christina looked up and saw the expression on Nathaniel’s face. He was gazing at her as if she was
caught up in the thick of the fray, and he was determined to rescue her from the predicament.
“I don’t want to leave… Achoo!” Even my body is betraying me.
Taking in her reddened nose, Nathaniel felt his heartache.
He said more firmly, “No. We’re leaving right away.”
Nathaniel no longer cared about falling out with his mother. He didn’t want Christina to suffer such
grievances, having to live vigilantly every day and afraid of being caught.
Christina wasn’t wearing her mask, so her identity would be exposed if she stepped out of the room. like
this. In that case, all my previous hard work will go to waste!
She was being dragged along like a baby panda. The next second, she tugged on Nathaniel’s arm and
acted cute, uttering in a coy voice, “I don’t want to. I only have two more decorations left to complete my
task. It’s not worth walking away now!”
Nathaniel stopped abruptly in his tracks.
He felt his heart melting as he listened to her sweet voice.
Noticing his gradually relaxing brows, she carefully observed how Nathaniel was susceptible to that
approach. It’ll be easy once I know his weakness!
Christina continued to play up her coquettish charm, pressing her body against him. The height
difference between the two was apparent, and when he looked down, he could appreciate even the
slightest details of her delicate facial features.
“I promise you I can finish the whole collection in at most two days. After that, I’ll go back to Scenic
Garden Manor and keep you company every day. What do you say?”
Nathaniel’s eyes gleamed. He clearly appeared to be more moved than before. She’ll keep me company

Scenic Garden Manor at my insistence. She’s making me a promise to come back to Scenic Garden
Manor every day and keep me company now. This seems like a pretty good deal, after all.
Nathaniel arched his right brow. “Really?”
Christina blinked her long eyelashes and pouted her rosy lips. “Of course. I promise, but can you let me
stay here for now?”
Nathaniel’s brows twitched as he uttered coldly, “Fine
He agreed somewhat reluctantly as if being threatened by Christina.
“Darling, you’re amazing!” Christina jumped up in joy wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed
his cheek.
Nathaniel’s lips curved upward imperceptibly when he felt the tender sensation on his face. Lifting his
hand, he patted her head. “Stay in the room. Let me handle the explanation.”
After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving Christina slightly puzzled. What is he planning to do?
Nathaniel opened the door and strode to the living room before sitting on the couch.
Julia seemed to be waiting for him as she immediately questioned her son, “What’s your relationship with
Ms. Ada? Is she Christina?”
Julia was too familiar with her son’s personality. He would never be so anxious if it weren’t someone or
something he cared about.
Hence, she was certain the woman inside the room must be Christina.
Wearing a poker face, he regarded his mother with a sharp gaze. “She’s Ada, the famous designer.
She’s handling a few outfit designs for me and agreed she would take Christina as her apprentice after
completing the job here.”
“So, you saved her because of Christina?” Julia frowned and pressed further.
He responded firmly and impassively, “Christina will participate in an international competition soon. Ada
is responsible for guiding Christina, so quit making things difficult for her. If you push her too hard, I’ll
take her away immediately.”
