The man flinched a little as his fingers instinctively stiffened. “No.”

Just like that, his simple one-word reply dispelled all of Christina’s worries.

“You head home first. I have a cocktail party later, so I’ll attend it for a while before returning.” Nathaniel added.

As much as he hated such events, there were still receptions and parties where his attendance was
