Let Me Stay The Night

Christina snorted. “Did you give me a chance to explain myself?”

The female coworkers’ faces turned glum. They couldn’t defend themselves.

“Who accused me of being the perpetrator and demanded I apologize the moment they walked in?” Christina added.

Their faces reddened out of sheer embarrassment.

There’s no way I’m going to apologize. This is just too humiliating.

With that in mind, Penelope continued to pinch her bleeding nose and whimpered, “Ugh… My head’s spinning…”

Then, she inhaled sharply and collapsed onto a coworker.

“Quick! Take her to the hospital!”

“Call an ambulance!”

A few staff members carried the “unconscious” Penelope and left in a hurry.

The rest of the crowd dispersed like the wind.

“Tell me if they mess with you again,” said Francis when he and Christina were left alone.

“It’s fine. I’m not a child,” the woman replied and walked out of the room.

Francis watched her leave, his heart swirling with inexplicable emotions.

He knew she was being forced to stay, but he didn’t want her to leave either.

Upon returning to Scenic Garden Manor and taking off her shoes, the two children ran straight into the living room.

“Mommy! You’ve been coming back from work so late these days.”

Camila wrapped her arms around Christina’s waist. “You haven’t slept with me for so long.”

“Then I’ll sleep with you both tonight, okay?” The woman picked her children up and pecked them on the cheek.

“Get into bed and wait for me. I’ll be right there after my shower,” she said as they walked up the stairs together.

“Okay, Mommy!” With that, the toddlers ran back to their room, hand in hand.
