Without warning, he grabbed her fair wrist, so slim that he only needed to apply a slight force to snap it. “Didn’t you agree you’ll sleep with me every day?”

Hesitation was apparent in her tone. “I did, but...”

“Then sleep” Nathaniel lay on the bed sideways and pulled Christina into his embrace.

Despite his muscular arms, he was gentle when he wrapped them around her body because he was worried he would accidentally hurt her.

It wasn’t until he felt her body temperature as he pressed her against his chest that he truly felt at ease.

As Christina was held tightly in his arms, she listened to his breathing. Eventually, her tense nerves relaxed.

As her eyelids shut, she fell asleep.

The next morning, when she woke up, Nathaniel was already gone.

Moments later, she recalled she still needed to work. Hastily, she left the bed and rushed downstairs like a busy rabbit.

“The car is ready to set off, Mrs. Hadley,” the driver informed.

Christina nodded and entered the vehicle, where she saw a cup of hot milk and egg sitting in the empty space next to her.

The driver clarified, “Mr. Hadley knew you’d wake up late, so he specially prepared breakfast for you.”

As Christina sipped the milk, she felt a sense of warmth bubbling from within.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at Radiant Corporation.

After she arrived at the office using the elevator, she noticed that there were still a dozen minutes left until the morning meeting.

Thus, she entered the pantry with a cup.

There, she bumped into Anna, who greeted her, “Hey, Ms. Steele. You’re here for coffee, too?”

“Why are you treating me like a stranger?” Christina smiled, knowing Anna was merely teasing her.

“The result will be announced next week. If I’m chosen, I’m definitely thanking you first.” Promptly. Anna delivered a cup of coffee to Christina.

The latter accepted it. “I’m already satisfied with the coffee you brewed.”

While they were chatting, Caroline entered the room and glanced at them with disdain.

The atmosphere instantly turned uncomfortable. Seeing that the morning meeting was about to begin, Christina exited the room.

12:51 Mon, May 15 Chapter 105 Long Distance Relationship +15 Bonus Before she left work, she applied for leave with Gina think I’ll be able to complete the mission if I work from Friday tomorrow to Sunday.

Once Christina returned to her office, she wrapped up her task ahead of time. Then, after work, she entered a car in the parking lot. During her journey to the Hadley residence, she changed into appropriate clothing.

When she exited the vehicle, she was wearing all black and assuming the persona of Ada again.

Julia was in the backyard, so Christina didn’t meet her upon arriving at the residence.

Right after Christina entered the room, she began busying about as she hadn’t finished embroidering the rest of the jasmine yet.

The setting sun outside the window gradually submerged into the horizon as the stars decorated the sky. Eventually, the room was lit, and a shadow of her slim body was cast on the glossy floor.

It wasn’t until Christina’s phone rang at midnight that she shifted her attention away from her work to answer the call.

“What are you doing right now?” Nathaniel asked.

As Christina pressed the phone between her ear and shoulder, she spoke lazily. “I’m embroidering. You’re not sleeping yet?”

“Are you hungry?” Nathaniel’s voice was somewhat hoarse. His environment sounded quiet, so she assumed he was in his office.

Now that he mentioned it, I do feel pretty hungry. Although, if I tell him that, he’ll deliver supper to me. It wasn’t easy for me to remove Mrs. Hadley’s concern. If he comes here, my efforts will be for naught. When Christina’s train of thought ended there, she shook her head. “I’m not hungry.”

“Oh?” Nathaniel slightly raised his voice as though he was questioning her. “Island Hotel recently released a new dish. They also sell desserts, like milk ice. Are you sure you don’t want any of them?”

As Christina listened, her hunger struck back.

She gulped. D*mn it. Why does he have to say all that? Now I’m really hungry.

Gritting her teeth, she told herself to resist the temptation. I won’t let him find an excuse to disturb my isolation plan.

As she pressed her hand on her abdomen, she spoke resolutely. “I’m really not hungry. You should rest early. I still need to finish my task. Bye.”

Christina wrapped up the conversation hurriedly as lough she was worried if she hesitated for a second longer, Nathaniel would deliver food to her door.

His countenance grew colder as he stared at his phone. It seems I’ve failed to convince her. I guess I’ll bring a chef to the Hadley residence tomorrow. There’s no way that glutton will be able to say no to delicious food.

Suddenly, he received a text message from Christina Don’t come to the Hadley residence and disturb my work for the next three days. I’ll return to Scenic Garden Manor once I complete my task during the weekend. If you aren’t busy, wait for me in the study during the afternoon. Love, Christina.

+15 Bonus What? I can’t visit her for the next three days? What is this, a long-distance relationship? Nathaniel’s expression darkened.

When Sebastian entered the room, he noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere. Did I step into hell or what?

Then he noticed Nathaniel staring at the phone. Why does he appear so cold and gloomy? What text message is he reading?

“The driver is ready to take you home, Mr. Hadley,” informed Sebastian. Can we get off work already?

Upon placing his phone down, Nathaniel lifted his sight. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became oppressive. “I’m not returning. Bring me all the documents I need to take care of next week.”

A chill ran down Sebastian’s spine as he felt perplexed Didn’t he ask me to call for the driver? Why did he suddenly decide to work overtime?

“Yes, Mr. Hadley.” Still, he didn’t dare to waste any time. Promptly, he turned around, ready to leave the room. However, upon arriving at the entrance, he recalled something important. “Do you want me to send you the supper you ordered earlier, Mr.

Hadley?”

Icily, Nathaniel replied. “No. You finish it.”

Sebastian was pleasantly surprised. After all, the food was prepared by five-star chefs. “Understood.” Then, he exited the room and closed the door.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel felt sullen that he couldn’t sleep with his cuddly lover for the next three nights.

That thought was enough to sweep away all of his drowsiness away.

He opened the files sitting at the side and read through them with full attention.

Back in the Hadley residence, the air inside the building felt much fresher after the morning breeze entered it.

Julia was in a pretty good mood. When she returned from her walk in the outer courtyard, she glanced at the second floor. “Has Ms. Ada been staying inside her room?”

Helen replied, “Ever since she returned yesterday, yes Even her meals were delivered to her by the housekeepers.”

In response, Julia nodded and rested in the living room. “Since she dislikes being bothered, we’ll just leave her be.”

Later on, she learned from the studio that Ada didn’t intentionally hide her identity. Instead, it was always Ada’s style to avoid making an appearance.

For the next two days, Christina remained in her room. She would only enter the guest room to rest and wash herself.

During the night, she stared at the third dress, which was nearing completion. I think I did a pretty good job! Tomorrow, I’ll be able to wrap things up.
