Chapter 49 Busy

Christina didn’t plan to move back. After witnessing the commotion Mrs. Hadley caused during the morning. I thin if I move back, she’ll undoubtedly disturb me often.

Thus, she said, “My granny hasn’t been feeling well recently, so I want to spend a bit more time with her.”

While that was one of the reasons, another was that she found their latest circumstances comfortable. The closer we get, the more we’ll subconsciously need. If something awful happens, it won’t be easy for me to leave again if I want to.

As though Nathaniel had read her mind, he assured her with a smile, “I’ll wait for the day you’re willing to move back in.”

She blinked and found herself in a daze. His handsomeness is special. It’s not overly masculine or feminine. It sits somewhere in the middle. He can appear domineering or elegant when necessary.

There was an independent lounge in the CEO’s office, which resembled a simple suite. It had a bathroom, a bed, and a wardrobe.

As the bed had been bathed in sunlight due to its placement next to the window, Christina felt warm when she lay on the furniture.

Not long after, she fell asleep. The door was then silently pushed open before a slender hand closed the

curtains.

Nathaniel removed his suit, revealing his conspicuous muscles and his smooth waistline. It was the result of a workout routine.

The single bed became quite cramped after he lay on the furniture.

Initially, Christina was shocked by the sudden warmth. However, she lowered her guard when his unique scent entered her nose. “Why did you also come in?”

“I’m tired, and I want to sleep while hugging you. After busying about for the whole morning, he felt exhausted.

His lazy, baritone voice wormed into her ears and cradled her heart.

He wrapped his arms around her slender waist and pressed his chin on her thin shoulder. When he raised his head, he could kiss her earlobe.
