Chapter 290 I Do Not Have A Say

Nathaniel’s displeasure faded significantly as he looked at her innocent face. He wiped her hair using the silk handkerchief. Why did you attend a function like that?

She’d still be soaking in water if I hadn’t come over because I was worried. She knows very well that she’s physically weak. What if she falls sick?

After hearing what he said, Christina felt aggrieved. Her eyes reddened instantly. I didn’t turn her down because she’s your cousin. It’s not like I wanted to attend a party like that.

She was already thinking of leaving and never expected something like that to happen.

Nathaniel’s expression remained tense. So what if she’s my cousin? You don’t have to go if you don’t want to. Also, did I give you permission to go?

Christina sighed helplessly, not knowing how else to explain herself. He’s making it sound like it’s my fault!

Nathaniel, who was used to being a lone wolf that did things his own way, never had to worry about othersfeelings, let alone bother about maintaining relationships.
