Let Me Stay The Night

Chapter 290 I Do Not Have A Say

Nathaniel’s displeasure faded significantly as he looked at her innocent face. He wiped her hair using the silk handkerchief. “Why did you attend a function like that?”

She’d still be soaking in water if I hadn’t come over because I was worried. She knows very well that she’s physically weak. What if she falls sick?

After hearing what he said, Christina felt aggrieved. Her eyes reddened instantly. “I didn’t turn her down because she’s your cousin. It’s not like I wanted to attend a party like that.”

She was already thinking of leaving and never expected something like that to happen.

Nathaniel’s expression remained tense. “So what if she’s my cousin? You don’t have to go if you don’t want to. Also, did I give you permission to go?”

His low and steady voice was tinged with dissatisfaction.

Christina sighed helplessly, not knowing how else to explain herself. He’s making it sound like it’s my fault!

Nathaniel, who was used to being a lone wolf that did things his own way, never had to worry about others‘ feelings, let alone bother about maintaining relationships.

However, she couldn’t bring herself to turn down a family member’s invitation, for it would make her seem too cold and distant.

“Forget it. You won’t understand it even if I explained it to you,” said Christina sulkily.

The slight anger in Nathaniel’s eyes intensified. After telling her to dry her hair, he started reviewing the documents.

On their way back to Scenic Garden Manor, Christina rested her head against the car window and fell asleep.

A ray of light shone in, illuminating her side profile. Her long eyelashes cast shadows beneath her eyes, making her look as gorgeous as an oil painting.

Nathaniel carried her down the car, disturbing her sleep. She stirred before burrowing deeper into his embrace.
