Let Me Stay The Night

Chapter 230 You Will Not

Christina flipped open the documents on the table in the study of Sharbrook Manor and brought them to Nathaniel. She asked, “Are these the important documents you guys were talking about?”

Nathaniel gave it a quick glance and hummed in response.

“You left such an important thing lying around. Aren’t you afraid I’d steal your documents and sell them?” Christina edged half a step toward him with narrowed eyes.

Fortunately, she had taken caution when she left earlier.”

Logically, Nathaniel would never forget to bring such important documents, and Sebastian would have reminded him even if he did.

Christina had sensed that something was amiss, so she purposely did not touch the document. Instead, she used the instruction manual of a recently purchased massage chair to pass it off as the documents.

Nathaniel glanced at her coldly and spoke. “You won’t.”

Nathaniel spoke with certainty as if he were living inside her head and could read her mind.

Christina flashed him a thumbs–up in agreement. “That’s for sure. Do I need to go through all that trouble when I can just get what I want from you by asking directly?”

Christina’s chubby checks and her slightly curved lips made her look like a cute porcelain doll.

“It’s very late now. I’m going to sleep. You should go and rest early too.”

Christina tiptoed and gave Nathaniel’s expressionless face a peck before saying softly, “Good night.” She stretched lazily before turning and leaving the study.

Christina felt shielded from those icy–cold, sharp eyes of his after shutting the door. Nathaniel’s occasionally made her feel uneasy despite having spent a lot of time with him.
