Let Me Stay The Night

Casually, Nathaniel undid his suit jacket and covered Christina’s face with it as he walked past her.

A hint of an alluring scent of sandalwood enveloped her, tugging at her heartstrings with its faint fragrance.

She removed the jacket to see Nathaniel and the two children playing happily.

Lucas and Camila were soon tuckered out after all the exercise.

They took a bath and immediately fell asleep after getting in bed.

When Christina came out of the children’s room, she bumped into Raymond, who was carrying pain medication on a tray.

“Is that for Nathaniel?”

“Yes. Mr. Hadley asked me to bring it to him before going upstairs.”

“Give it to me.”

After taking the medicine from the butler, she remembered that Nathaniel had played with the children immediately after reaching home and had skipped dinner. “Get the kitchen to prepare some food.”

“All right, Mrs. Hadley,” Raymond said before turning around and leaving.

Christina detected the faint scent of soap when she entered the bedroom. The sound of the hairdryer stopped, and Nathaniel stood there under the lights. He was clad in black pajamas and exuded a gloomy aura.

“Here’s your medicine, but you should eat some food before taking it. Taking medicine on an empty stomach does more harm than good-”

Before she could finish speaking, Nathaniel wrapped his long arm around her waist and kissed the back of her neck. “I’m lucky to have you.”

For a moment, Christina couldn’t find the words to respond to that.

A moment later, Raymond knocked on the door, prompting Christina to pull away from Nathaniel.

“Eat some food, and take the medicine after that. I’ll head to bed first.”

After saying that, she went to lie down on the bed.

Smiling, Raymond placed the tray of food on the coffee table and said, “Mrs. Hadley was worried that you would go hungry and told me to get the kitchen to prepare some food. She cares about you very much.”

Christina’s voice sounded from the bed. “Raymond, you’re quite chatty today.”

meaningfully, Raymond exited without saying
