Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 304 Confined

Flames of anger burned in Nathaniel’s chest, and his reason was clouded by anger. He didn’t know if he should trust

the photos or Christina’s words.

“Let me go…”

Christina was in so much despair that it felt like she was pushed to the edge of a cliff and would fall into the depths

of doom the next second.

Nathaniel eventually released his grip on the woman’s neck when he saw her reddened face turn pale from

suffocation. Without support, her frail body collapsed and slumped on the carpet instantly.

Christina coughed and took a while to catch her breath. Her eyes were bloodshot as she said weakly, “These photos

must’ve been taken by someone with ill intentions…

At that moment, the room felt like a scorching hell to Christina. It was as though hot lava covered every inch of the

floor, leaving her with no way to escape.

After what felt like an eternity, Nathaniel finally broke the silence by speaking emotionlessly, his expression grimmer

than ever. “These photos wouldn’t even exist in the first place if the two of you weren’t so intimate.”

Christina’s sobs echoed in the room. The faint sound was magnified when it traveled into Nathaniel’s ears.

triggering an intense pain in his heart.

After some time, he exited the room resolutely.

Tears blurred Christina’s vision. She didn’t understand why Nathaniel didn’t believe her when they had been

together for so long.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was speeding down the empty road in his car.

Eventually, he returned to the company.

His identity was too prominent and would attract unwanted attention, so he couldn’t vent his emotions freely in

public. As such, he could only do so in his office, behind closed doors.

Nathaniel grabbed several bottles of whiskey from the wine rack. Sometimes, people drank to savor the fragrant

aroma of alcohol, while others drank just to get themselves intoxicated to escape from reality.

Clearly, Nathaniel was the latter.

He uncapped the bottle and downed the whole bottle of whiskey without even using a glass.

Why did she lie? When did they get together? She even hid Francis in her dressing room. So, all my suspicions

turned

out to be true.

Frustration surged in his heart as if no amount of alcohol could dispel it.

Just then, the door was pushed open.

Madison walked in and saw Nathaniel sitting on the carpet with his back against the counter. His black suit jacket

was left at the side. One of his slender legs was bent, while empty wine bottles were scattered on the floor beside

him.

Nathaniel had always been a disciplined man. Under normal circumstances, he would never allow himself to get

drunk.

Madison could tell from his current state that the photos she had someone sent to the office anonymously in the

morning had worked their magic.

She walked over to Nathaniel and observed his charming countenance which was covered in a drunken reddish

hue. Influenced by alcohol, he appeared to be somewhat befuddled. “That’s enough, Mr. Hadley. Don’t drink too

much.”

Then, she took the wine bottle away from his hand. In response, Nathaniel merely glared at her without a

word.

Should I send you home, Mr. Hadley?” Madison asked tentatively.

“No… Leave…” Nathaniel gave a dismissive wave before he closed his eyes.

After a while, he was completely knocked out.

Madison’s heart palpitated heavily as she watched Nathaniel sound asleep.

The man she had fallen head over heels for was right before her. Unable to control herself, she leaned closer to

Nathaniel, and the lingering scent of perfume on his body enveloped her along with the smell of alcohol,

intoxicating her further.

Gawking at his handsome face. Madison muttered. “Why bother about Christina, Nathaniel? You are an outstanding

man. Other women should be the ones doing everything they can to pursue you, not the other way around.”

Then, she removed her coat and took out her phone to take intimate photos of the two of them together.

Looking at the pictures, she was pleased with herself as a smug grin spread across her face.

Christina, you don’t stand a chance against me anymore,

Rays of the morning sun shone into the lounge the next day, gradually illuminating Nathaniel’s charming face,

muscular chest, and exquisite collarbones.

Upon opening his eyes, he realized he was shirtless. As a sharp headache assailed him, he placed a hand on his

forehead and touched something warm beside him.

The thick perfume he smelled did not belong to Christina.

He swiftly lifted the quilt covering him, and the moment he saw who was in bed with him, his heart sank, and he

gasped in horror.

Jumping off the bed at the speed of lightning, he stared at the woman on the bed in disbelief. “What are you doing

here, Madison?”

Madison’s heart leaped to her throat as she perceived Nathaniel’s reaction. Stammering, she explained, “Mr.

Hadley, you… you were drunk last night and threw up all over yourself. Then, you asked me to stay with you…

Nathaniel scrutinized Madison and was relieved to see that though her clothes appeared wrinkled, she was still

wearing thein neatly, which indicated that they didn’t do anything out of line last night.

After calming down, he said coldly, “Leave.”

Wearing a somewhat peculiar expression, Madison got out of bed, smoothened her clothes, and left the lounge.

An assistant who came to deliver documents bumped into Madison when the latter opened the door.

The assistant’s eyes widened in shock when she saw Madison coming out of the CEO’s lounge looking disheveled.

There were even wine bottles lying around on the floor.

Everything she saw overturned Nathaniel’s image in her heart.

“Put the documents down and leave,” Madison said indifferently.

“Okay.” The assistant returned to her senses and left after dropping off the documents.

After a change of clothes, Madison returned to the office and cleaned up the wine bottles. She even sprayed the

room with an air freshener to cover the reeking smell of alcohol.

Soon, Nathaniel stepped out of the lounge.

He was dressed in formal attire, and his short hair was combed neatly with a few strands of bangs scattered on his

forehead. Taking a seat on his black chair, he looked dejected.

“Mr. Hadley, we have a project to discuss in Horbah. Should I postpone it?” Madison asked, concerned “No. We will

do as planned.”

At first, Madison was worried he would return to Christina. Now that he had agreed to go to Horbah, she was

delighted. “Understood.”

Meanwhile, at Scenic Garden Manor, Christina woke up feeling cold. She opened her eyes only to find that her

eyelids were so swollen that she could barely open them.

Looking at the empty bed, she felt like a lost little sailboat, drifting aimlessly on the ocean.

After changing into a set of fresh clothes, she walked out of the room but was blocked by the bodyguards

at the door.

With furrowed brows, Christina showed displeasure on her face. “What do you think you’re doing?”

“Mr. Hadley instructed us not to let you leave without his permission,” the bodyguard truthfully replied.

Hearing that, Christina widened her eyes in disbelief. “Who gave him the right to confine me?”

The two bodyguards froze and fell silent.

They could not do anything except carry out the orders given to them.

Enraged, Christina returned to her bedroom. She took out her phone and called Nathaniel, but every single one of

her calls went straight to voicemail.

Clearly, he was avoiding her calls on purpose.

Without a choice, Christina left him a voicemail.

Can we talk about this, Nathaniel? Call me. We’ve been together for so long. Why don’t you trust me?” hen,

Christina hung up and sat helplessly on the couch in a daze, waiting for him to call back.

The housekeepers delivered meals to her door on time for two consecutive days, but Christina ate very

ittle.

Nathaniel had rejected all her phone calls no matter how many times she called him.

On the third day, she could not take it anymore and started smashing everything in the room that she could get her

hands on.
