Let Me Stay The Night

Christina entered the house and went upstairs directly. She did not even change into her house slippers.

Right before she walked into the room, Nathaniel got hold of her and said in a deep voice, “Camila has just dozed off after taking her medicines. Don’t wake her up.”

Christina withdrew her hand from the knob but decided seconds later that she would make her way into the room discreetly. As she walked closer to the children’s bed and saw them fast asleep, she felt a lump in her throat.

She bent her body to gently rub Camila’s forehead and caressed her little face, only to realize just how much weight Camila had lost. Her chubby cheeks had become slimmer.

She touched Camila’s face and was relieved that it was not very warm. She gave Camila a peck on the check before going over to check on Lucas.

Lucas was sleeping soundly on his side. Christina took in his little round head and thick, long lashes covering his eyes and planted a kiss on his cheek.

She continued watching them for a while before leaving their room.

As soon as she stepped out of the room, she saw Nathaniel waiting there patiently.

It was almost midnight, and the dim lights that shone on him made him look imposing and hostile.

“I’m going to take a rest in the guest room downstairs,” said Christina before heading down.

When she walked past him, he held her wrist in a vice-like grip. He was a bit too aggressive that he hurt her a little.

Christina furrowed her eyebrows and asked in a low voice, “Is there anything else?”

Nathaniel’s gaze darkened. He did not reply but immediately carried her up and then strode to the bedroom.

“What are you doing? Let go of me!” Christina muttered, rejecting him. She was worried about waking the children up, so she dared not speak loudly. She became anxious when he remained indifferent. “Put me down!”

Nathaniel quickened his pace as he walked toward the bedroom. With a deft flick of his hand, he shut the door behind him and put Christina down.
