Let Me Stay The Night

“Maddy, I have examined that woman for you. You can’t beat her, so you should just give up,” advised Maggie.

One look at Christina was sufficient for Maggie to tell that the former was a calm and graceful person.

Earlier on, she was nitpicking and trying to test Christina’s patience.

However, Christine did not panic at all. Instead, she came up with excellent designs. Judging from her character, Christina was clearly a composed person who would never act recklessly.

“Grandma, I can’t believe you’re defending an outsider instead of helping me!” Madison was so angry that her eyes turned bloodshot.

Maggie patted the back of her granddaughter’s hand. “If he isn’t married, I will definitely help you. now that things have come to this, you should just give up.”

Give up? How could I possibly give up?

She had been pining for him for so many years. There was no way she was going to give him up.

“If I can’t marry Nathaniel, I’d rather not get married at all this lifetime.”

Meanwhile, Christina did not return to the office. Instead, she went to the supermarket and bought a few different flavors of candies before heading to the kindergarten to pick up the children.

Christina stood at the entrance, waiting for the children when school was over. However, there was still no sign of Lucas and Camila even after all the children had left.

In the end, the two kids came out with their teacher, Stacy.

“Hi, you must be Lucas’ mom. There’s something about Lucas that I would like to talk to you about.” Stacy appeared upset.

Christina nodded and told the children, “I have bought you some candies, and they are in the car. Why don’t the both of you wait for me in the car?”

“Okay, Mommy!” With that, Lucas grabbed his sister’s hand and ran to the car. The driver opened the door for them to get in.

Stacy brought Christina to an isolated corner before saying in a serious manner, “You see, Lucas is a bright child, but he doesn’t like learning. That’s not good. He never completes the homework I assign them. Camila, on the other hand, will finish all her homework!”

Camila, being obedient and adorable, was well-loved by all the teachers.

Though they were fraternal twins, there was a vast difference between their characters. One was docile and obedient, while the other was mischievous and naughty.
