A Crazy Night

Chapter 310

Chapter 310 Divorce

After breakfast, Christina drank a few glasses of warm water so that she would sweat.

She returned to her bed and quickly fell asleep.

In her bleary state, she felt a warm palm on her check.

She mumbled something under her breath and opened her eyes.

Nathaniel was sitting by the bed. He had removed his suit jacket, and Christina could tell he had lost some weight in his white shirt.

He looked as though he hadn’t slept for a while because of his poor complexion. The dark circles under his eyes gave him a melancholic look.

His gaze was gentle. “You’re awake. Raymond said you were unwilling to see the doctor. How can you treat your body so poorly?”

Hearing his worried voice, which she had not heard in an entire week, left Christina with a strange feeling.

She lowered her head, hiding her expression. The atmosphere became awkward as she remained silent.

Nathaniel felt a pang of discomfort when he saw her cold expression.

“Christina, I know you didn’t lie that day. I have already handled your grandmother’s matters and have chosen a good place for her to rest in peace.”

After calming down in the past few days, he had sent Sebastian to the hospital to check on the situation. Christina’s grandmother had passed away that night.

He felt guilty for not letting Christina see her grandmother for the last time.

Therefore, he was willing to humble himself and give in to show that he was regretful.

Christina stared at him coldly and retorted, “Rest in peace? When she was in the most pain and wanted to see her granddaughter, she could only stare at the white walls as she drew her final breath. Do you think she can rest in peace?”

Christina’s heart started pounding hard when she thought of Evelyn. However, she felt a pang of stabbing pain with each heartbeat.

She took a deep breath, trying to suppress her emotions.

“Leave. I don’t want to see you.” Her voice was icy cold, devoid of any emotions.

Christina didn’t care whether Nathaniel went to find Madison or other women. She just didn’t want him to disturb her anymore.

“Christina, I know this is my fault, but you can’t blame me. If it weren’t for the photos with Francis…” When Nathaniel brought up the matter of the photos, he became emotional again, and his eyes reddened.

He tried to suppress his emotions and grabbed Christina’s hands. Then, he uttered patiently. “Let’s not talk about the past anymore. Let’s turn the page on these matters and not bring them up again. Can we start over?”

He was used to being in control, so it was rare for him to behave like this. Nathaniel was willing to forget Francis matter as long as Christina didn’t contact the latter in the future.

The photo Christina saw on Jewel’s phone yesterday flashed across the former’s mind.

The image of Nathaniel and Madison lying together sent a pang of pain into Christina’s heart. She felt heartbroken and betrayed. Perhaps the pain would only disappear after being deeply hurt.

She recalled how they used to bicker like a couple deeply in love. They had never crossed the line, even when they had conflicts.

She was utterly disappointed and exhausted from all the lies and betrayals.

Christina remained silent for a long time before calmly saying. “Let’s get a divorce.”

Even though her voice wasn’t loud, it was eerily clear in the silent atmosphere.

Nathaniel clenched his fists as an unruly tide of anguish overwhelmed his reason.

A weight settled in his chest, and he grabbed her shoulders. “Christina, do you know what you’re saying? Christina tried to avoid his touch. However, she couldn’t break free from his grasp. She could only turn away to not look at him.

Nathaniel noticed Christina’s evasive expression, and his heart clenched in pain.

The woman who acted adorably in front of him was gone.

He couldn’t believe the woman who once loved him so much would make such a request. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Nathaniel lifted his head to reveal his cruel and cold expression. Even though he knew it wasn’t wise to say such impulsive words, he couldn’t control himself from saying. “Are you asking for a divorce so that you can get together with Francis?”

Upon hearing his words, Christina was disappointed.

Didn’t he just mention he was willing to start over? Yet, he’s the one bringing this matter up again.

She pushed Nathaniel’s hands away and looked at him indifferently. “You can touch other women now. Why are you refusing to let me go?”

Nathaniel’s eyes widened as he immediately understood what she was implying.

“Who told you?” Who dared to reveal my secret to Christina behind my back?

Christina’s expression darkened as she replied, “Jewel. It was your beloved cousin who told me. I really have to thank her for that.”

Since Jewel wanted to turn her life into a wreck, she would make sure Jewel couldn’t live peacefully too. Nathaniel’s brows relaxed, and he took a deep breath.

He tried to suppress his emotions, as he knew it was useless to explain anything at this point.

Although Nathaniel wanted to explain himself, Christina’s eyes were cold and soulless at the moment. She was exhausted and clearly didn’t want to continue this topic with him anymore.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, “I won’t divorce you.” Then, he left.

It was Christina’s first time feeling this exhausted.

She didn’t want to quarrel and think about it anymore.

No matter what reason Nathaniel had for not divorcing her, she had made up her mind.

She woke up in the evening and felt better, so she picked up her phone and dialed a number.

“Christina, are you okay?” Francis voice rang out from the other end of the line.

He hadn’t slept well these past few days as his thoughts were filled with Christina.

He knew how much Nathaniel hated him, so he could only imagine how much Christina suffered because of her relationship with him.

Christina didn’t answer his question. “You said you would help me.”

“Of course. Whatever it is, just say the word and I’ll help you,” Francis promised as he tightened his grip on the phone.

“I want to leave, but I can’t as there are bodyguards guarding Scenic Garden Manor’s entrance. After you’ve made the arrangements, you can come and pick me up.”

Christina had made up her mind, so she didn’t leave any room for her to back away,

“Okay, wait for my message.

Just as she hung up the phone, the door was pushed open.

Nathaniel frowned and queried coldly, “Who were you on the phone with?”

“Francis.” Christina felt there was no need to hide it. She wasn’t someone who liked to lie.

Nathaniel’s chest felt uncomfortable, and he tried to control his emotions. “What will it take for you to cut off contact with him?”
