Let Me Stay The Night

In the dining room, the chef served the prepared food on the table.

Even though the texture was somewhat affected after the food was reheated, the taste was still good.

Christina took a bite and said, “It’s not sweet enough.”

“I think it’s quite nice. I’ll book a private room tomorrow to make it up to you.”

Nathaniel picked up a piece of meat and delivered it to Christina’s mouth. He seemed to be apologizing to her judging by how sincere the expression in his eyes was.

Christina parted her lips and ate the meat. She chewed on the food while boring her eyes into him. “I’m not free tomorrow. I need to go to Gibson Corporation’s clothing factory to check the condition of the products and bring the samples for the new orders to the factory for processing.”

Now that she thought about it, she realized she would be swamped with work from tomorrow onward.

Nathaniel fed her another piece of meat. “We’ll do it next time, then. I’ll see if I can arrange it as soon as possible.”

“Okay.” Christina’s mouth was filled with food as she chewed on the second piece of meat. Her cheeks, were puffed out, making her look like a cute hamster.

“Did you meet with anyone special today?” Christina asked casually, concealing her thoughts by masticating.

“No,” Nathaniel answered calmly.

She riveted her eyes on his countenance the whole time. Nathaniel didn’t seem to be lying because he didn’t avert his gaze when he replied.

What about the picture I saw, then?

While Christina was wondering, the sound of footsteps came from behind her.

“Mommy, Daddy, you’re having a scrumptious supper without calling us?” Lucas crossed his arms, feeling aggrieved as if discovering someone had stolen his candy.

The two petite figures agilely climbed onto the dining table, staring at the food on the table with their sparkling eyes. “Mommy, we want to eat too!”

“Sure, but you must brush your teeth before you sleep after eating.” Christina picked up a piece of snack and brought it to Lucas’ mouth.
