Let Me Stay The Night

Chapter 320 A Change Of Heart

Lucas clenched his fists. Disgruntlement was written all over his delicate face.

Christina would not stand to see her son endure such a grievance. Picking her children up, she was all ready to head upstairs.

Then came Nathaniel’s grim gaze. “I said, apologize.”

Seeing the man’s sharp, menacing glare. Madison felt a shiver run down her spine. “Nathaniel! You’re asking me to say sorry?” she snapped back in disbelief.

“Don’t make me repeat it for a third time,” uttered Nathaniel through gritted teeth.

His words pierced Madison like a sword. No matter how hard she gnashed her teeth in resistance, she eventually caved in and apologized.

That was when a sense of warmth rose in Lucas’ heart. Maybe this big gray wolf’s not that loathsome after all. The boy turned around and made a face at Madison. “I won’t forgive you, you witch!”

On that note, Madison glared daggers at the boy, which frightened the latter and compelled him to cower in his mother’s embrace.

“Nathaniel, hear me out-

“You should go back first.”

Nathaniel trod on Christina’s heels to the second floor upon dropping the statement.

The only thing Madison could do was watch the family of four head upstairs together. Jealousy flooded

her heart.

Christina has already been gone for a good four years, so why didn’t she stay away for good? Why must she come back? I’ll never let her set foot in here! I’ll need to think of something to drive that woman out once more!

Christina took a moment to comfort Lucas and Camila. Luckily, the children had not been affected.

Otherwise, a tight slap would never have been enough for her to let the matter slide.

“Mommy, I want to draw.” Camila had a gentle personality and had always enjoyed spending some quiet time on her own. Drawing was her favorite hobby.

She seemed to have inherited the passion for doodling from her mother.

Nathaniel heard the exchange when he stepped inside the room. “I’ll get someone to make the arrangements right away.”

In less than ten minutes, the vacant room next door was decorated as an art room, fully equipped with all sorts of paints.
