Let Me Stay The Night

Right after Christina stepped into the Steele residence, Gideon’s castigation rained down on her. “You’ve finally decided to come, huh?”

“Didn’t you ask me to come?” Christina retorted.

As a father, Gideon had never felt Christina’s respect or admiration for him. Infuriated by her words, Gideon hurled a cup at her viciously.

The cup did not hit her but shattered into pieces right by her feet.

A small shard flew out, leaving a cut on Christina’s tender and fair hand, with crimson blood flowing out.

As though she couldn’t feel anything, Christina didn’t even furrow her brows. Her tone was still impassive as ever as she said, “Did you call me back home just to throw this tantrum? Now that you’ve vented your anger, I’m going to leave.”

Then she turned around to leave without a hint of hesitation.

“Enough, Gideon. Don’t get all worked up and forget the main thing,” Miranda interjected, having enjoyed the spectacle for long enough.
